The examination of George Hiles
for the alleged running of things the
old way over at baskerville resulted in
his release. Jtdge Woodwork decid,
ing that the evidence was insufficient
to warrant his Honor in holding him
for trial. Whether Mr.. Hiles be gull
ty or innocent, isn't it about time that
elections in old classic Dexter were run
on narrow guage?
"A Catholic priest has recently
written to Mr.. Beecher: Dear Mr.

The Almanac Publishers complain
that their business is destroyed by
Ayers American Almanac. The peo-
pie prefer it to any other, the Farmers.
Western, Southern or the numerous
local almanacs when they can get
Ayers. 1t supplies the best astronom-
ical data, weather and jokes Of them
all, and above all, medical advice which
is invaluable for every family, It is
supplied gratis by the druggists, and
should be preserved for constant refer

The Stevens Point Journal says ::
At Wausau and Grand Rapids the
numbering interests has suffered severe
damage, while at Stevens Point, the
destruction caused by the big water
could be replaced with a one hundred
dollar bill.
We declare, we had not heard of
any damage to speak Of other than a
little rubbing such as is experienced
more or less every spring. We should
pity exceedingly our Point brothers if
their damage had reached another
''hundred dollars - they would have
been wiped ''clean'' out without even
a nest egg. Mac, tell your lumber
men to take IN that bunch Of single.
The case of Judge Walker came
up for examination before Gilbert Ten
nant, ESQ, last Wednesday, according
to adjournment, and the examination
proceeded until Friday, when an ad-
journment was taken to Tuesday. For
the prosecution appeared the District
Attorney Mr.. Cady. and Messrs. Soule
and Potter. For the defendant, Mr..
Waring, Of Berlin, was employed. So
far the witnesses for the prosecution
only have been sworn. We have been
unable to be in attendance, but have
been told that some Of the evidence is
damaging to the Judge and looks bad.
Y neither his witnesses will be able to
clear up and explain these alleged I'M
lawful acts, will be better known when
they are sworn, which will probably be
this week. It is bad matter. We
hope most sincerely that explanations
will be made and facts shown that shall
clear up the case and close up the
breach in the friendly relations OF the
really good people Of PIainfeld.-
