GOOD SOCIETY.

A man of high position in the world made
it d rule to associate with men of exalted
minds. "Better be hog among kings says
the homely old adage, than king among
hogs" Choose good company, or no COM
pany. Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton often
spoke of the great benefits he derived from
his visits to a particular family. Their words
and example stimulated him to make the
most of his powers. Said he,-
ut has given a color to my whole life. |
can ascllbe my success at the university to
nothing but my visits to this family, where
l caught the infection of self Improvement"
Surely, if our visits have such an influence
upon our characters for life, it should be a
matter of serious importance to us in what
families we allow ourselves to be intimate.
Boys and girls form attachments very easily,
and often with very little forethought. In
this, as in all things else, you should not fail
to take advice Of those who are older
and wiser, and never, never choose for
a friend one against whom you have been
warned by those who dearly love
you. There are people whose presence
seems to lift you up into a better atmosphere.
Be sure you choose such associates when it
ism your power, and the more you can live
in their society the better, for both mind and
heart.
she who walketh with wise men shall
be wise; but a companion Of fools shall be
destroyed"
DRUNK.-An excellent and honored citi-
zen of Louisville was going home one night
tipsy, for the first and last time in his life, as
he protests, and no doubt truly, when he
met Prentice reeling from one side to the
other. "Prentice,, - exelainaaa-the -elatel
nvy1ce, I'm drunk /" Staggered anew b.
this amazing announcement, the veteran
slowly drew fimse& up with the aid of
ncighboring picket, and, surveying his dis
guised friend, said, severely: swell, Josh

deeper emotions than the intelligence Of the
death of a dear. relative. Though from the
grief and bereavement of the hour, there is
consolation in the thought that the one who
hath gone to the Unknown Land leaves SO
pure and spotless Il record as is portrayed In
the following tribute to the deceased by
Rev. S. 5. Lambeth, of Danville, Va:

enunciated by the Governor are
sound and his recommendations are
worthy of due and impartial COM
sideration by the people and the
Legislature. The people have new
er wanted any thing but exact and
equal justice between themselves and
the railroads, and if the present laws
do injustice to the railroads the peo-
pie desire and expect the Legislature

The Lost Shawl advertised In the
TELEGRAPH few weeke ago has not
yet been returned. Mr. Buddle brought
shawl, found by one of his boys, to
this office, but it was not Mrs. Burning
toms shaw.
Several who have lost shawls have
made inquiry in relation to the shawl
left at this Office but none have claimed
it. There would seem to be many more
lost shawls than lost boys and it would
also seem that there are many more shawls
lost than found. Can it be that those
who ind shawls intend to keep them,
OF that they are waiting for ransom for
them If not, why are not more found
Ihawls heard from F?

THE ROONEY CASE.

We gave last week and are giving
this week considerable space to the
Rooney case-more than it is justly en-
titled to in and of itself. There are
more crimes occurring at home and in
our own county than we care to pub
lish, fearing the publication may not
prove beneficial to our readers. Room
ey having been resident and his pa
rents being residents of Pleasant
Prairie make the Rooney case of more
interest to our people than ordinary
criminal cases in Chicago, and this
must be our justification for giving it
the space we do.
It would seem that the Dluids were
holding festival of some kind and
closing it with dance. According to
Rooney's own statement he went to the
hall about Z o'clock and remained in
the hall till the meeting was over. He
then went down into the saloon where
they were serving supper but did not
remain for supper. He went to a
neighboring saloon and played several
games of euchre. About o'clock he
says eve returned to the Hall. and Off
Ger Harmon introduced me to a lady,
and danced with her till I was stop
ped"
Rooney was not a Druid land, accord
ing to his own statement, it would
seem that he was considered an intru-
der and was stopped from dancing,
Officer Harmon may also have been
an intruder. If they had not been
there-if Rooney had not been there,
he would not have got into the fight
which resulted in his shooting, and in
taking life. He could have avoided the
whole transaction and all it's conse-
quences by keeping away.
AS we are giving SO much space to
this case and Rooney comes SO near
being one of our people it may be very
appropriate to inquire: What was his
early training? In what schools was
he educated? What were his religious
instructions? What have been his
associations and places for pastime?
And when the answers have been
obtained to these questions, if useful
lessons can be learned from them, some
good may result from the publicity
given to the case.

At REST

| Last Saturday morning at a little before six
| O'Clock, Capt George Wescott Read, we'll known
among the vessel men of the lakes, died at his
residence on Park Avenue in this city, after lin
gering sickness eff many months. His disease
general consumption = baffied the skill of the
physicians and progressed steadily to its fatal ter
mination. Mr.. Read was born in Jefferson Coun-
ty, Y, on the 26th of July, 1884, and was at the
time of his decease between forty -four and forty
five years of age. Al the age of sixteen, he enter
ed upon the profession of sailor, and had been
engaged in the samoa large portion of the time
as master-for twenty eight years. and until fail
ing health compelled him to leave It. Mr.. Read
had been resident of Kenosha for 20 years, was
well known and respected throughout the entire
community. He leaves a wife, two sons and
step-son to mourn the loss of husband and father.
His funeral Sunday afternoon was largely at
tended at the Methodist Church, where the SER
vices were conducted by Rev. W. Z. Walker. His
remains were followed to the cemetery by the
Masonic Fraternity, and large concourse of peo-
pie; where they were consigned to the tomb ac-
cording to the solemn ceremonies of the Order of
Free Masons. Flags were hung at halfmast du-
ring the day on all the vessels in port, as token
of sorrow on the part OF mis- brother seamen.
At special communication of Kenosha Lodge,
No. Az. A. F. q A. M. held Jan. 10th, commit
tee Yves appointed to draft resolutions expressing
the feelings of the lodge. in the death of their
brother. The committee report the following;
WHEREAS, Brother George w. Read has gone
TO his rest, lamented by the Fraternity OF Free
and accepted MasOns of this jurisdiction to whom
he had ever presented an example ''void of Of
fense," Therefore,
ReS0LUeG, That in his death Kenosha Lodge No. |
AZ, has lost member, who was not Mason in
form merely, but one at heart, and enc who was
quiet and unObtrueive in his good work of reliev-
ing the distressed, soothing the unhappy, and
sympathizing with and befrien ding the untortun-
ate
Rssolued, That Brother Read was brother who
vas always ready to work hand in hand with his
brethren who practiced the noble tenets of our
profession, and while his was not the position in
life for the bestowal of great charities, yet there
is often greater merit in small donations, as the
widows mite'' is remembered and blest, when
the Pharisee's rich gifts ecorned and forgotten
ResOlUed, That in the death of Brother George
w. Read, his family have lost kind and affec-
tionate husband and an indulgent father, and the
community at large a strictly homes man, Gods
nObest work.
ResolUed, That a copy of these resolutions be
presented to the family of the deceased, and
copies furnished the city papers for publication.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

Governor Ludington's first an
nual message possesses rare merit.
It is clear, brief, concise, explicit,
confined to subjects properly coming
before the Legislature. and judicious
IN its recomme ndations.
The Governor commences by
modestly expressing some doubt as
10 the wisdom of the constitutional
provision which requires the incom,
ing rather than the outgoing Cover
nor to communicate with the Legis-
lature and to recommend for their
consideration such matters as lie
shall deem expedient. He then
expresses his obligations 10 the gen
tlemen connected with the State
Government for their assistance in
procuring information, refers to the
law making, law Interpreting, and
law enforcing departments of the
Government, and then gives the
condition of the various funds Of the
State. Then follow the Receipts
and Disbursements, the Debt of the
State, Estimate Of Revenue, Taxes
and Appropriations, State Univer-
sity, Common Schools including
Compulsory Education, the wisdom
of which the Governor is not salts
fed, Historical Society, Geological
Survey, Industrial School, State
Prison, the Apportionment, Census
and immigration, State Convass,
internal Improvements, Railroads,
the Centennial, Payment of Salaries,
Protection of State Lands, Fish
Propagation, Hasty Legislation,
Economy, Conclusion.
The Secretary Of State,
the State Treasurer and
the Attorney General, being
made by law a State Board to can
vass the votes for State officers, the
Governor recommends that provis-
ion be made by law so that when
these officers are candidates for the
offices the can be relieved from the
duties and other canvassing officers
appointed.
The Governors information and
recommendation in relation to rail-
roads are of great importance. No
railway. are now being built in the
State with the exception of the line
from Portage to Stevens Point "a
portion of the line to aid which the
state received a land grant.
None of the companies owning or
operating lines within the State have
paid dividends to their stockholders
during the past two years.
The line from Milwaukee to Man
itowoc and thence to Appleton las
been sold under judicial proceedings.
With the exception Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, the Chica-
60 and Northwestern, the Mineral
Point, and the Western Union
railroads, none of them have paid
interest on their bonds during the
past year.
The Governor believes that the
railroads have been unjust to the
people and that Legislation has been
unjust to the railroads, and inquiries

ANOTHER BARBARA FREITCHIE.
From the Woman's Journal

A correspondent of the Carbon North
Star tells an interesting story of a Mas
sachusetts woman who married Maine
man named Baker, and settled on some
territory of which the possession was In
dispute between the English and Amer
lean Governments. Says this old lady:
''He bought some land, and, we being
Americans, the next summer I made
with my own hands an American flag,
and the next Fourth Of July, with the
help of Mr. Walter Powers, we raised
it. For this act Mr.. Baker was indicted
for high treason, carried to Fredericton,
tried CATER being imprisoned ten
months), condemned, find $500, and then
allowed to go Free" This was the
beginning of the Aroostook war, which
resulted in the establishing of the
northeast boundary line between us and
the British provinces. The raising of
the stars and stripes was thought to be
very disloyal act by Mr.. Bakers
neighbors, and after he had been taken
by the provincial authorities and car

that all his property was to be confis-
Gated, and they Immediately put them

Baker saw this, with that true courage
and herOism that carried her through
the wilderness, she armed herself with
a broomstick, demanded return of her
cattle and other property to their
places, and they obeyed. She command

country, her love for it had not grown
cold, even at her advanced age. She has
now in her possession a quilt, on which
she has wrought the American eagle,
and when she could not see anything
else to remind her of the country she
loved, she would look on this quilt.
She has a manuscript Of her wilderness
life, and as she cannot be allowed to
draw pension, though much more
deserving than many that do, why, asks
the correspondent, could not The State
buy her manuscript as reward fer her
to her country and love for
the old flag? Mr.. Baker has been
dead several years, leaving his widow

NEW BRIDGES.

A new iron bridge has just been
completed over Root River at Ra-
cine by the Chicago and Northwes-
tern Railroad Company, and was
put to the trial test week ago last
Saturday. The trial proved the
bridge to be perfect and substantial.
The old bridge had a length of
1852 feet and was 43 Feet high near
It's center over the river. Embark
ments were made from both ends OF
the bridge to the banks of the river
making 1895 feet in length of the
height of 48 feet. This left span
over Root River of256 feet across
which a substantial iron bridge and
draw has been built. The draw af-
ter the trial test of the bridge worked
easily and perfectly.
This is the third bridge lately
completed on this road. The other
two were noticed at the time of their
completion: One at Pike River, three
miles north of Kenosha, and the 9TH
er short distance north of Kenosha
depot.

Among the announcements of candidates for office in Yavapai county, we notice that Mir E. s. Penwcll, who is candidate for County Recoder. Probably no man in Yavspai possesses the requisite qualifica- tions for the office in a more eminent de- gree than E. s. Penwell. Mir. Penwell is an Arizonan of several years standing, is now Foreman of the Arizona MINER news and job office, and was chief clerk of the last Territorial Assembly, in which trying po- sition he gave universal satisfaction. And no one doubts but that the duties of the of flee of county recorder will be faithfully and well performed if the voters of Yava- pal see fit to honor him with their conf tlence. As-yet we believe MT. Penwell has no opposition, but whoever his opponent may be we cannot but wish success to Pen. Il Wallapai Enterprise.
