Heavy Defalcation. Bro. Sway
re spends the funds of the N. W.
Editors Association for bread for
his wife and children. $3.16 gone
where the Woodbine twineth.--The
startling development that Swayze OF
the Pinery, treasurer Of the N. w.
Editors Association had squandered
the funds of the Association amounting
to BIG has produced the widest conster-
nation. The Fon du Lac ComU'M gives
the particulars, but we have not the room
to publish them. Swayze was found
at or near Colby, on the W. c. R.R.
ina very penitant state Of mind. His
story of necessity-now his wife and
seven little ines were crying for bread
and popcorn, and how his wife must
have a new breast pin or die, awakened
the sympathies Of his editorial breth-
rem, and he was allowed to fee tho
wrath of the Law after he had given
security for the amount. Jack Brun-
dage signed a note with him for the
amount--we sympathise with Jack
the fraternity being thereby made
whole. @. Swayze why did'st thou do
so? We know the bitter tears of wife
and babies are powerful arguments, but
thou should'st have remembered that
tnou vast a "reformer," and that the
Association had unlimited confidence
in thy integrity. Rro. Swagae 50, sin
no more let the wife and babies weep
and go ~ahungered, but remember that
virtue has its own reward, chat $3.16
wouldst have furnished ample beer and
sandwiches for a multitude of famished
editors. Go Swayze, be happy, do 50
no more.

Team famed by the Cars.-Mr.

'N"hf odiiItu ~ IHC Odio'
Edwards team came near being killed
at the Tomah depot last Monday z. NJ
while Unloading Mr.. Rice's household
goods upon the platform. The construc-
ton train came backing down from the
front, striking a stationary box car and
driving it, with the whole force OF the
moving train upon the team One
horse was badly cut, the other escaping
unscathed. 1t is claimed that the team
was out of place, and Uice uersa, that
no person connected with the train was
on the lookout. Various are the ru-
mors, and probably that bllndfoldeo
yrtuous female with a pair OF steer
yards and no polonaise will have to de-
eide the vexed question of damages

That THANKSGIVING Dinner

house that Jack built, last Thursday.
We had just a heap of v~ictuals and a
stack of fun. The bill of fare was lust
right tor a newspaper man. We don
always tell what we eat, or how much,
Che latter we hardly ever tell for ii
would seem improbable to everybody
except those who know the capacity of
an editors stomach. We wont tell the
capacity of l~ngraham's, neither Jacks
stomach-twouldn't be manners, and
then Jack had a right to eat in his own
house. We first called for Soup a la
Ok tail, then a Sparerib with Oyster
dressing, and a little cranberry sauce,
then we took a little of the bosom of a
spring chicken-spring Of 1S73-with
scolloped oysters, then we onbuttoned
our vest and called for something to eat,
and the cook came herself--a and asked
US what it should be. She said lots of
things--she was so pretty that we did
mt hear all she said, but we caught a
rabbit at the end of the first verse, and
50 said rabbit, with mint sauce.
Just so soon as We conld get breath we
looked at our "pard' who seemed to
be enjoying q lunch off a sirloin that
would have made IN epicure long to be
come a boarder at the house hat Jack
built, but we said nothing, for Ingra-
ham couldn't help it, and we were too
full for utterance. We now began to
think our tailor had made a mistake
in measuring us for our pants, SO just
slipped out the first button, and on
shipped the left s~uspender, and asked
May for just a few turkey. Sne brougt
in a little one on a platter, trimmed
with evergreens and bathed with a good
tasting gravy that served as balm to our
slighted stomach and then she asked
us if we wished anything else, and we
said off you will please onbutton our
paper collar" but she didn't hear US
we thought, for she pretty soon came
in with some coper sauce, and We said
"thank you," and wished We could use
that turkey v1shbone for a bootjack.
Then Frank-he's a boy hat lives in
the house that Jack built~came in
with a little wheelbarrow and took away
| part Of the bones and rubbish that
Jack had piled up near our plate, and
we felt relieved Of a great responsible
ity, and wanted to hang up our coat,
but a plate Of pudding all covered with
thanksgiving didn't admit Of so great a
breach Of etiquette and we desisted for
the st0machs ache. We did now think
that we had suffered sufficiently, and
atoned for being an editor, but there
came upon Us Ike al a'a.an'ne ol re-

How to Remove Stains and Spots

only stain which Sapolio will not re-

But from marble mantels. tables, china.
table ware, carpets, furniture of every
description, or any article of HOUSEHOLD

stain can be instantly washed out for
ever by the use of Sapolio. 1t is as

do exactly what is claimed for
it, if the simple directions are followed.

A Curious Circun:stance.-O
Monday Of week before last a circum-
stance bordering on the improbable oc-
cured at the upper eddy, showing forth
the instinct animals possess, as well as
the courage, when driven by gnawing
hunger to preserve life. The facts are
narrated by Mr.. Thomas Burns, one Of
our best and most reliable citizens.
On the morning of Monday, the 18th
inst, Mr.. Burns son, Emmett, with his
Younger brother, a little fellow, were
cutting wood near the kitchen door,
when suddenly the younger spoke ex-
citedly "Look Emmett, see, there are
two deer running across the garden
The little fellow had seen the long
ears of deer, and the long ears of a
rabbit were deer's ears to him.-Em.
met and his father looked in the direc-
ton indicated, and saw a painting rab-
bit closely chased by a weasel, both
out of breath, the rabbit running fol
dear life, and the weasel pursuing Will
blood in his eye intent on a breakfast
The rabbit came directly to the wood
pile, as if for protection, the wease
not at all in~timidated, following.
Emmett took the rabbit in his arm
andthe weasel Jumped for it, and mad
absolute war, spGinging into the air ant
running around as if to get sight 0
its prey that had escaped when jus
within its grasp. Finally Emmett kill
ed the poor rabbit and threw it upo'
the ground, when Mr.. Weasel, as if t.
express his thanks gave a squeak Of de
light, hastily seized his game by one o
its hind legs and drew it within th'
wood-pile where its warm blood made
it a Thanksgiving feast. When W.

A Motion 10 Dissolve Partuership

A Motion TO Dissolve Partnership
We entertain . serious apprehension
that the editor ofsth0 Monroe County
Register in this State is IN danger Of be-
coming q. Republican Bourbon. All the
Bourbons do not belong exclusively To-
the: Democracy BY any means. A Bour.
bon. According TO the definition. Of the
great Napoleon, b an individual who
learns nothing and iorgea nothing" And
the late letter Of the Bourbon aspirant to
the French throne Is a document that IL
illustrates BourbonIsm the world over,
whistler in France, or Spain, or Italy, or
eyenin West Virginia: He threw away
what was regarded as q fair chance for
power rather than accept as his flag
the national flag Of France, the trlcolor
that symbolizes the grandest achieve
ments inner military history. Some peo.
pie Of q Bourbonlsh turn Of mind no doubt
sympathize with and admire this refusal
Of Count, De CHA1iBoRD, but practical
and, progressive people sec in 1t chiefly a
Characteristic exhibition Of that narroW.
ness and want OF sagacity that has cost
all the Bourbons everywhere loss Of
power. ISABELLA In Spain and BoABA
In -SicilyDlike this present scion Of tho
house Of Bourbon, could not comprehend
the necessities Of their surroundings and
hence went down before popular upris-
ings. And they are only types and illus.
trations Of Bourbonlsm throughout the
world and Of the faulty that always
characterizes 1t.
With this reference, by way OF illus.
traitor, we express again our apprehen-
sion that the Monroe county editor, when
he calls upon the Republicans OF this
State to cut loose from oil partnerships
and set up for themselves in preparing
TOR the next campaign, is simply giving to
his readers an exhibition Of that learn
nothing and forget nothing characteristic
which Is known as Bourbonism and which
so generally manages 10 defeat its own
ends. ..---
II there was great principle al stake,
or even a small one, the case would be
different. But there is nothing Of the
kind at stake, and 1t is not pretended that
there is. II at this time there Is princi-
pie worth making sacrifice for in West
Virginia politics it Is the antagonism OF
Governor JACOB to corruption and the
manly and almost unsupported fight
that he Is making against 1t at Charleston.
He Ia to-day the most representative man
Of the uppeEmost thought Of the people,
which Is to rid themselves Of corrupt
rings in politics, o! any man in West Viz.
ginis. he IL fighting, in part, the great
fight oil this era Of corruption, and he de-
serves the sympathy and support of the
people without distinction Of party. -.
Such man cannot be ignored at
time like this, and there Is no
use in setting up pretexts 10 d.
vert popular attention from the man
or the fight. We trust that the Re-
publican party will recognize the signs Of
the times sufficiently to maintain cordial
relations with all citizens who are willing
10 cooperate for the general publication
oil the body polite, II they fail to DO
this, and attempt to make trivial and
unmeanipg contest as close communion
lists, they win in all probability make a
stupendous failure.
