One of the sensations OF the last week
was the arrival and the transpor tation from
the cars to the new bank bnilding, Of the
large safe to be used by the new Banking
House. 1t weighed 5000 pounds.
We stepped in on Judge Aaron Rankin
last Monday for a short, social chat. We
found him at home looking for all the world
just like Judge. "Dignifed and stately"
yet pleasant and sociable With Mr. Ran
kin in the chair, we felt assured that the
County judges office will retain the excel,
tent reputation it has always had under it's
former occupant Hon. Ira w. Bird.
We are pleased TO learn that Mr.. Geo. j
Kispert has been employed to fill the very
responsible position of Teller OF M.
Grimm's new banking house.
Mr. VIM. Schwelle nbach, owner of the
Banner office, had his feet badly frozen on

The Liberal Institute commenced its
winter term on Monday the 9Th inst. The
prospects for the coming term are even
more fattering than the previous term.
We understand that over fifty students re-
ported on the first day, without the students
from the distance who are yet to arrive.
A man whom we mentioned last VI eek as
being found in a freight car in this village
and who refused to give any good account
of himself Vas discharged from the Jail
last week. He was noticed lounging about
the depot building on New Years day, and
while officer Brown was walking from the
depot to Fanholt's saloon, the man who
gives his name as Pat. Crawley, came up
behind him in furious rage, and with
raised fist, dealt the officer a tremendous
blow, aiming at his head. Mr.. Brown
happening to turn in season to see the
raised fist, partially warded off the blow by
raising an arm, and clinched the ruffian,
when a scuf1e ensued. Mr.. Brown calling
on one or two who CHANGED to be near,
succe eded in securing his bird who, after
one or two turns Of Loas 'persuasye"
which he always has handy, consented to

are aware of the extensive Candy Manu-
factory Messrs. Woodland l. Stone have in
connection with their steam bakery on the
West Side, This branch of their establish
ment turns out all kinds Of candies, not
only in the stick but in all conceivable
styles aud shapes, and the firm can already
boast of large and increasing business in
his line of trade.

Daring Feat.

A daring feat at railroading was perform
ed iu this city last Wednesday forenoon
| which is deserving 0 f more than a passing
| notice on account OF the intrepiiity of the
deed and the tender age Of the actor. The
10 o'clock morning freight train on the
Milwaukee h St. Paul Railway going West,
after passing over the bridge across Rock
River about two miles east of the city on
heavy down grad broke in two leaving some
twelve cars behind without brakeman on
them to stop their course. The engineer
discovering the condition of affairs put on
all steam possible in order to hasten to the
West Side of the River, and keep out Of the
way OF the cut Off Eortion of the train, and
avoid collision which now seemed almost
ineyi table, the disconnected cars were com
ty. A few moments after the engine and
the few cars had passed the station the rear
of the train came laundering by with terri
bic speed, filing the minds OF all who saw
it with CONSERVATION rs it seemed Al
most certain great damage would be done
before its wild career could be stopped.
Among those at The depot who witnessed
the exciting affair was w lille Hill, son of
Mrs. Caroline Hill, of the Third Ward, a lad
! about IL years OF age. de at once COM
pretended the situation, and al the risk of
his life caught the step Of one Of the cars
as it was passing at lightning speed and
after great efforts succeeded n reaching the
top. He immediately set to work and tas-
train was stopped at the first crossing this
side Of the machine shops and within a
short distance Of where the engine aud the
other cars stood awaiting their fate. Tn,
whole thing was bat the work Of moment,
and but for the quick perception and indomi-
table courage of young Hill, there is no tel
ling how the matter would have ended
It's quite certain that considerable dam
age would have been Gone hid the cars col
lided and perhaps lives lost By the accident
To make things stia worse the 10 o'clock
passenger train from the West, was standing
at the junction at he time and one almost
shudders 10 think of the consequences had
Il collision with this train occurred.
3 Altogether the boy is deserving Of great
credit for his heroism, ana we are glad to
know that the Milwaukee u St. Paul Com
pany so lar appreciated his bold and ven
tursome exploit AS to send him check for
panied by letter from Superintendent
d. G. Atkins, thanking him for the service
ne PERFORMED for the company.

The doctors nnd Advertising.

There are few things more absurd than
the old-fashoned prejudice of the doctors
against anything that looks at all like ad-
vertisiug in the newspapers. This feeling
seems 10 be gradually relentng, but occas-
ionally shows itself in an edict of some
medical society against an offending men,
Der, whose name has got into the papers in
some way that they don't like. The last
case of the sort is reported from Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, where DR.. Kimball, who had
been mentioned in The city press in connec-
ton with certain accidents, has been repri-
handed by the medical society of his coun-
ty, and warned 10 sec that his name 10 kept
out of the papers in future The action
was so uncalled for in this case that the
newspaper men Of the city have sent the
doctor card, 10 Which they state they
have printed his name when it was desira-
BILE for news purposes, though he had fire.
quently protested against it; that they had
treated other doctors precisely the same ;
and that, while they regret that he has been
made scapegoat, they cannot abandon
wholesome and harmless journalistic meth
dds Sin obedience to the demands of n
punctilious code whose usefulness we fail
to comprehend"

An A m using Incident,

An amusing and somewhat embarrassing
incident occurred on one of the Troy and
Lanslngburgh horse cars Saturday. The
car was going northward, having on board
quite respectable looking lot of passen.
gers. At one of the street corners the bell
rung. and well dressed young woman
with sprightly babe in her arms arose and
left the car. As he went out, something
which appeared to be linen handkerchief
dropped from her lap. An Elegantly
dressed gentleman saw the article as it fell
and he Immediately proceed to show his
gallantry by recovering it. He was just on
the point of picking it up when he discov-
cred that it was not handkerchief, but an
article supposed TO be Indispensable to
every civilized baby of the present day.
There was suppressed litter on the part
of the ladies III the car window and he at
tempted to hum "Home, sweet home"
The conductor about this time saw the arti-
Gle, which he hurriedly snatched, up and
shouted to the lady, who left the car,
Here's your handkerchief Here's your
handkerchief" He came back to the car
looking very red in the face, aud the cle-
gantly dressed gentleman got off at the next
corner.-Troy Times.

Revolving Crime.

For the past three years, Cephas Apple
bee, a jeweller at Lyndonvllle, has enticed
different girls into back room In his store
building, where he has had criminal intl-
macy with the older ones, and acted most
shamefully and outrageously with the
younger ones. A large number of girls
have been his victims, and their ages range
from twelve years to twenty.three, and
they are members of respectable families of
that village. This matter came to light
last Saturday, being divulged by one of
the girls, and new cases haye been coming
out daily since, until many girls and n
number of families are implicated. For
the sake of their children, the outraged
parents took no legal measure, and Apple:
bee put his property out of his hands and

ment and support of whatever is good in

How n Railroad Treated ~ Thief
and His victim

Several days ago, Jimmy Ryan, notori.
Gus thief, was caught robbing widow lady
by the name of Mrs. Richards, upon the
Chicago and Alton road, as the passenger
train was nearing Chicago. When it be-
came known to the managers of the road
that the thief had been captured, the prose-
cution of the case was taken up by the COM
pany, and the result is, that the fellow has
been found guilty of highway robbery. The
disposal of the case occupied but two days
from the time Of the robbery. In the mean
time, the robbed lady has been kept in the
city at the expense of the company, the
amount of the stolen money has been re-
turned, and ticket purchased for the re.
mainder of her journey. The thief has
been travelling over the road for some years
past, but this is the first time he has been
caught in the act of stealing. The railway
company deserves good credit for prose cut
ing the thief, and, if their action was fol-
lowed by the other roads, there would I've
fewer robbcries reported upon our public
highways.
