Prescott, Dec. 20 1859.

The JcfersoHlan very justly complains
that the Board of Supervisors Of Jetfer
son county, has attempted to ''cut Gown
the allowance of the craft, by passing the
following resolution:
ReSolged, That the Board recommend
to the Clerk Of the Board, and to the
Treasurer to make such arrangements,
that the list of lands sold for taxes and
unrede emed, will be published in an Eng
Iish paper in the English language, and
in n German newspaper in the German
language, "a! no greater erpense than
that allowed by lar for publication Of
said list an one newspaper"
Which was adopted.
And tie editor appeals to his brother
craftsmen, as TO whether they think this
is right. So far as one is concerned, We
say emphat:caIIy no! 1t is enough for
the law to fr prices on printers work,
while the services Of all other professions
are aot interferred with, without other
powers attempting to ''split the differ
snce' Of the stinted price allowed By law.
In the Eastern States the price allowed
by law for legal advertising is some 20
per cent higher than in Wisconsin, wi here
as it should by right be the reverse
while eastern prices are none to b gh,
Ours is 40 per cent too low, and yet owe
nv means is rosorted to by persons who
are indebted to the press, mere than to
all other causes, for their positions, to CIT
d,wn printers wages. Why is this. Is
printing 50 poisonous and noxious in lis
tendencies that it needs to be hampercd
by tariffs, Ike the sale Of "tang lefoot"
whisky, DC?
Why is it that SO many in every little
county or town corporation, will say and
do so many little, mean things, to cut
down printers bill, while for any other
service thoy will vote the pile2 We are
down on all attempts to cut down the

nothing but what is just, and of that tc

Why don't the law undertake to set
prices for lawyers, doctors, school teach
ers, house-carpanters, blacksmiths, farm
ers. and in short, on mechanics, artizans
and pref ssionsl mon of all kinds? Why
does the law attempt to fetter the press
by prescribing its pay, and then permit

DARING ROBBERY.
THE RECEIVER OF THE
II. S. LAND OFFICE CAT
GED AND BOUND, AND
5000 DOLLARS
TAKEN FROM THE SAFE.

EAU CLAIRE, Dec. "a, 1889.
This village was thrown into a high
state Of excitement last evening by the
perpetration of one Of the most daring
Robberies of which We have any recoliec-
ton. About 9 o'clock in the evening n.
B. Boyden Receiver of pubic money for
the Chippewa Land District, was gagged
and bound hand and foot, and the Gov
ernment safe was robbed of $3.50. He
was sitting in bis office ut his counter with
his back to the door, about 9 o'clock in
the evening, making up his account with
the Government, preparatory to leaving
for Dubuque in to-day's stage with tho
Government funds, when aperson enter
ell the door, turned the key and stepped
up behind Mr.. Boydsn and putting out
the light with ono hand and placing the
other over his mouth, in an instant the
robher inserted an instrument in Mr.. BIS
mouth with which he pricd it wide open,
and then stuffed a handkerchief in it
which prevented him from calling out for
assistance or making an alsrm-at the
same time presenting pistol to his head
and threatening him with instant death
if he made the least noise. The next mo-
mont he passed BEDFORD with slip
moose, around his left wrist (Mr. B. has
but one army bringing it instantly to his
back and raising Mr.. Bis right foot. tied
his wrist and ankle tcg ther passing the
cord around his toiy ad scr So his
mouth, he then bound him to the legs of
the large writing desk which stands in the
same room, and in this condition left him
ly ing on the floor face downwards. He
then sprang over tho counter and took
from the safe, which happened to be open,
the amount of money in gold, as above
stated, and went out the front door.
All this must have been done in is
than eight minutes. Mr.. Boyden lay in
this condition probably not to exceed ten
minutes, meanwhile came very near
stranglng TO death. He managed after q
few moments to get one foot against the
window sill, thus making noise which
with his groans attracted several parties
to his office, where they folnd him as
stated above, perfectly wet with perspir"-
ton. Parties were dispatched in ali di-
roctions but up to twelve O'Clock at noon,
to-day. no traces are had of th' robbers.
Mr.. Boyden thinks there were more than
one person, which impression is confirm
by the fact that there were tracks of one
or two men at the ack door. The bold
ness and daring Of this robbery will at
once be seen when we state that scarcely
any one had retired for the evening, and
persons having business with Mr.. Boy
den had left his office but few minutes
before. There WAS also large dancing
party at Reeds Hall onlya short distance
away, at which, those occupying adjoin-
ing Offices were prasent.-Eau Claire
