a Wise Reporter,

A reporter tor local paper says:
Murrin may makea good officer but the mayor has
certainly made the change without the shadow OF
an excuse, and hence this like most of his other
official actions. is wholly unwarranted
Mr. Murrin is citizen, house owner,
and an officer of long experience courage
Gus man and man Of good reputation
He has large family to support. He
was displaced by DIR. Gait for political
reasons, and Ankrum put in his place.
He was then given a situation by Col.
Flagler, but by an unfortunate accident,
this summer, he lost it, and now there is
no work there. He has better claim on
the place than Ankrum, for the reason
that he was displaced to make room for
Ankrum, for political reasons only.
As to the statement that Ankrum is re-
moved without shadow of an excuse,
people will naturally ask lift is probable
that this local reporter is made confident
of by the mayor to such an extent, that hi
knew whether the mayor has any reasoI
for his action. or not, Does he know thu
constant pressure that has been brough
to bear, for months, upon the mayor, il
relation, not only to Ankrum, but to tw'
other members of the force? The mayo
has never acted in relation to any removal
except after repeated and long continued
and earnest pressure upon him, He ha
never made removal without cause, an,
though he may not have told. every loca
reporter the reason for his action, o
thought it necessary to do SO, he has al
ways had good cause for action.

Personal Explanation.

During the recent session of the board
of supervisors, Sup'r Krell said
"Mr. Chairman;-I see that one of the
editors of The ARGUS is present, and
would like to make an explanation in re
gard to an article published in that paper
about me, [cries of stop, him; no persona
explanations etc. / do not wish to make a
personal explanation, only to the board, il
regard to my ordering those blank bills
printed at the Union Office. | did moi
order the work done, and knew nothing
about them until l seen them here"
Sup'r Kerr understand that only
1000 were ordered, but the Union printed
5000, which Mr.. Cook, the county clerk
received, and the bill has been allowed
Who ordered the 5000 extra blanks?"
Krell-"I don't know. Do you2"-speak
ing to DOC" Webster, the deputy clerk
Webster-"No, I don't. But tina
newspaper generally does as it please
anyway"
Here the matter dropped, every mem
Der of the board, however, except one
(Jacobs,) pronouucing the job a swindle
Sup'r Jacobs tried to explain that tn
blanks were not intended to make out bill
on, but to be used only as a cover O
wrapper, the bill to be pastedon the blank
It would be very easy, in that case, for an
public robber to get his oath removed fror
the bill, after it had been allowed.
THE ARGUS was informed by superv
sor that he 1.-THE supervisory asked th
county clerk who got the job done, and th
clerk replied that Krell got it done. Who
ever got it done, paid no attention to tn
request Of the board to get it done where
could be done cheapest and best.

why those baking powders in the market
adulterated with alum, chalk, land other
substances make bread and biscuits very

struggled to keep up appearances in

hopefulness Of the endeavor was pain.

facts are these
Just before the close of the last ses.

and accident took place, which, as an
illustration, is more than touching. At
ono of the schools number of pupils
were in the habit of bringing a luncheon
with them, which at noon they ate
together. Among those who did moi
go home for dinner the teacher in a
particular room noticed O little girl
who always sat looking wistfully al
her playmates when they went out
with their luncheon, but who never
brought anything herself. The child
was always neatly but very plainly
clad, and enc of the closest of students
in school hours. This odd action of
the child lasted for some time, when.
one day, the teacher noticed that the
little thing had apparently brought
her dinner with her. The noon
hour came, and the children took
their luncheon as usual and went out
to eat it, the little girl referred to
alone remaining in the room with her
dinner wrapped up in a paper on the
desk before her. The teacher ad-
vanced TO the child and asked her
why she did not go out to eat with the
rest, at the same time putting out her
hand towards the package upon the
desk. Quick as thought the girl had
clasped her hands over it, and sobbing,
exclaimed "Don't touch it, dear
teacher; and don't tell anybody.

was the fact. Having no dinner to
bring, and too proud to reveal the pov-

blocks in paper and brought the pack

lunch,
