ED. TRIBUNE The fine weather of
the past two or three weeks has given
our farmers ample time to secure their
fine crop of hay In splendid order. For
the past two or three days we have been
having a succession of refreshing show
ers, that are quite seasoBable, being
much needed to revive the dropping
vegetables. We hear some complaints
from our agriculturalists in regard to
rust on the wheat which, although not
severe enough to injure the quality Of
the berry materially, viii together with
the effects Of the early drouth tend to
diminish the quantity, so that we do not
anticipate an average crop. Our local
market has been we'll supplied with wild
strawberries and raspberries which have
been abundant and of good quality, and
now we are receiving a limited supply of
whortleberries that are found in this
vicinity. Scarlet Fever has again made
its appearance in the northeastern part
of the town; by which Mr.. Julius
Bruemmer lost a little daughter about
three years of age, on Wednesday last.
Respectfully Yours

p s. We have just learned that John
Stelzer. of Saxouberg lost his Oldest son
Eli Steizer, Of Scarlet Fever, last night.
Deceased was nineteen or twenty years
of age. His loss is most severely felt by
his afflicted parents, who have FIVE other
children now slowly recovering from the
same disease.

A SHORT but drenching thunder show
er fell last Sunday morning, and was fol-
lowed up by a terrific hail storm on the
same afternoon. This unusual amount
of wet made the mud little too ia
miilar, and stuck to fellow like an
ofiice-seeler to an 'unvoted' specimen
of humanity.

Mr.. LANGWoRTHY, one of our most

THE Green Bay & Pepin r. r. Co.
has not yet resumed work. 1t is under
stood that the New York capitalists de-
mand discount of 35 to 45 per cent. on
the corporate bonds proposed to be
pledged as collateral for iron and rolling
stock, while there is no other living en-
terprise in this State that they exact
over 20 per cent. from, for such purpose.
1t is further said that the financial ex-
hibit of the Company is by no means
satisfactory to the people Of Green Bay.
We still think the Pepin Company will
succeed in obtaining means to build
their proposed road possibly not until
there is change In its Board.

The Oshkosh Times has the following
article, the application of which is just
as true here as there:
There are always, and will continue to
be, irregularities In trade. Adventures
and spectators will continue to hawk
their goods at random prices-cheatlng
somebody, but these things can be en-
dured, SO long as they are itinerant, and
of short duration. But of late these in
Engagements of trade and evasions of tax
es seem to have settled into systematic
business. When an Eas tern OF Chicago
house finds itself full of remnants, or
about to break up, 1t packs its soiled
goods or fraudulent stock off to interior
towns, to be sold for what the imperfect
or stolen wares will bring. They are ad-
vertised and pulled, and under cheap Ii
cense, sold, often bringing higher prices
than good articles would bring at regular
sales. These forced sales, paying no tax
except low license, induce the thought
less to buy under the idea of purchasing
cheap, and to that extent infiict an in
jury upon community, and draw atten-
ton and support from legitimate dealers
who are taxed to support the Govern
ment. 10 prevent continuance OF this
abuse, the highest license fax possible
should be imposed, and then the people
shouldlet them entirely alone, not go near
one OF these auction stores: they cheat
somebody; either the real owner Of the
goods is swindeled through the trick OF
dishonest agent or the purchaser is de
ceived and cheated in the character oil
the goods bought. Keep clear ofPetel
Funks and mock auctions.

GRAPES, as well as peaches and green

for the same reason.
