GERMANS MEET.

The opera house was filled Sunday
afternoon by the German population
of the city, when the local German
societies met to revere the memory OF
John Gottlieb Feichte. the Geo. Wash
ingtor of their county He was the
man who secured the unification OF
Germany and Prussia which baffied the
plans of Napoleon to conquer Europe.
Anton Mehl made the first address.
He related the principles which the
German alliance in this country stands
for, and urged that a stronger unity
exist, that the race can be protected in
its rights.
He was followed by Prof Stern of
Milwaukee, who read from book the
life of Feichte

From the above report it viii be seen
that more fires occurred during the
month of June than in any other
month, by large majority, as a poll
tician would say. The most deStruc-
tive tires also occurred that month. the
plants of the Wausau Box and Lumber
Co. and the WausSu Quartz Co. being
destroyed The winter months show
the most chimney fires. naturally. In
the losses resulting in the months of
May, July and August, no insurance
was carried, but the results show that
as whole WauSau people are pretty
well protected by insurance. The total
fire destruction during the year is very
light, considering the size of the city,
the extent of territory it covers and
lastly. but most important, the lack of
water pressure in outlying districts,
most noticeable at the box factory fire.
The expense of maintenance. aside
from salaries, has been very small. As
TO salaries there Is y growing feeling
among business men that both the ire
and police departments are urderpaid.
and some time ago the police and fire
commission recommended th2t salaries
be increased TO point commensurate
with the work performed aud the risk
taken. An efficient IRE department,
such as ours Is, Is saving TO the tax
payers of the city instead Of an expense.
lis only draw back is that it Is not large
enough. There ought TO be another
engine house in the northern part of
the city and more men, but the city
should furnish some system whereby
ample water pressure could be SecaTed
on the outskirts of the city 10 protect
the property of tax payers residing IN
I those sections.

JOHN BARNES For JUSTICE.

The Marathon County Bar association
held meeting in this city on Saturday
night and unanimously adopted resoln-
lions recommending the candidacy OF
John Barnes, of Rhinelander, for JUS
tlce OF the supreme court. The associa-
ton urged that the central portion OF
the state is entitled TO place on the
supreme bench The resolutions
adopted ere as follows
Be it resolved, That in our opinion,
the supfsme court of the state of Wis
cOnsin should be so constituted that the
people CT every section of the state are
represented thereon; that inasmuch as
the sitting members of the court. with
one exception, have Oeen selected from
the southern portion of the state, we
believe that the coming judicial election
is the proper time to restore the ter
ritorial equilibrium of the court dis
tnrbed by the late Justice Charles r..
Bardeen.
BE it further resolved, That in our
judgment il is the concensus of opinion
of the people of Central and Northern
Wisconsin that they are now entitled to
nominate man as a candidate for the
office OF justice of the supreme court.
In view of the fact that the best
qualified for the discharge of the high
duties appertaining to the office of su
preme court justice are not likely to
force themselves upon the public notice
as candidates we hereby present to the
people of the state of Wisconsin the
name of the Hon. John Barnes of Rhine
lander as suitable candidate for such
position and hereby request him to be-
come such candidate, and we hereby
pledge him our hearty and loyal sup
port. His sterling qualities as man
and citizen, his wide experience as a
practicing attorney, his intimate knowl-
edge of the social, political and business
conditions of the state, particularly of
the central and northern portions there
of, combined with his judicial tempera-
ment and vigorous health, peculiarly fit
him to rerder the people of the state eff
ticient service in the event of his cleo
ton"

LEAD FOR
BRYAN
Especial to The Sentinel. !

Especial TO Inc sentinel.
New York, Oct. 29.-W. F. Con-
ners, chairman of the state commit
tee. gave out the following statement
last night:
Il am as thoroughly confident that
Bryan and Chanler will carry the
state of New York as ! am that cleo
tion day will come next Tuesday.
My confidence is based on a COM
plete canvass of the state, and on
detailed reports l have received this
week from every Democratic state
committeeman. county chairman, and
prominent party leader.
These reports show that the labor
vote of this state is practically solid
for both the national and state Demo-
cratic tickets.
I'VE will more than hold our own
among the business men, and all
signs point to an increase in the
Democratic vote in the rural COM
munities. l thoroughly believe the
Republican national ticket will have
less than $4,000 plurality outside of
Greater New York. and the Republi-
can state ticket less than 1000.
Bryans plurality in the state will be
more than 10000 and Chanler's not
less than 100000.
These figures are conservative.
Mr. Bryan's visit to the state has
been productive to immense good to
the party. He has made a profound
| impression and we are many thou
sand votes stronger than when he
began his tour of the state on Satur-
| day last"

IRv Associated Press. ]

Albany. Oct. 29.-The feature of
w. j. Bryan's tour upstate yester-
day was the appearance on the plat
form here last night of former Sen
ator David B. Hill.
1t was the first time in several
years that Mr.. Hill has attended such
a gathering, so that when he stepped
forward as chairman to introduce
democratic leaders, the great crowd
which packed the hall where the
meeting was held arose as a man
and cheered enthusiastically.
Although not connected with pol
itics." Mr. Hill said. 81 reiterate that
am heartily in favor of the election
of the democratic national and state
tickets. | am not so partisan that l
would support the party right or
wrong. but permit me to say that |
support the national ticket in this
campaign because in my Judgment
our presidential candidate, who hon
ors us with his presence here to-
night. is absolutely right upon every
contested question in this campaign.
1 1t is time for change in the ad-
/ ministration OF the government, a
change of measures and of men. Our
| candidate owes the nomination not
| to any one man or any set of men,
/ but only to the people themselves. III
:
! himself. and not dummy for any
man. He will not be led around with
a string like great big cageL bear.
! Ex-senator Hill referred to the re-
publican charge that a panic would
/ follow Mr.. Bryan's election, declared
that it would not be a business panic
| but "A panic of the hundreds of thou
sands of federal office holders and
public officials who will have to sur
render their places to the victorious
4 parry.
! He concluded his encomium of Mr..
! Bryan by saying:
Our candidate is your friend He
is my friend He is the friend of the
people. He has been the courageous
sincere and constant friend of labor
ever since he has been in public life
He is as sincere as he is brave, and
he can neither be purchased nor in
timidated.''
The candidate received an ovation
as he arose to speak. He was cheered
! to the echo, and the large audience
reluctantly obeyed his every gesture
to become quiet.
Mr.. Bryan expressed his apprecia,
tion of the cordial welcome he had
received ''in the capital of our ma
tion's greatest state" and replied to
Mr.. Hill by saying:
81 appreciate the more than gem
erous words employed by Senator Hill
in presenting me to you. This cam
paiSn finds a united democratic par-
ty. | believe that we. are going to
win great victory. and, my friends.
am glad that Senator Hill, the hero

Angeles lawyer. who claims to have
been Shermans partner in a scheme.
to gain possession of vast tracts OF
ten by Sherman. and not by the fzE-
ter's secretary. as Sherman claimed
In the only interview the newspaper
have been able to get from him.
Handwriting experts have conpaT-
ed the signature on the Burke letter
with Sherman S autograph on the
register of the Auditorium Annex
and declare that both were penueS
by the same hand.
The men who are handling the
Republican campaign in Colorado
have been instructed to secure ma-
terial to discredit Judge w. j. Thorn
as. the attorney, who is held respoTP-
sible for the publication of Burkes
story.
The Republican leaders hope by az
tacking Thomas to divert attention.
from the mass of facts, buttresseo by
official documents, which prove Shsf-
man to have been the associate OF
Burke, Casson and Philip in one of
the most gigantic land frauds ever
planned in this country.
If the necessary evidence against
Thomas can be secured. the president
will be asked to WELD the big stick
and relegate the little Denver Judge
to the Ananias club.
