Now that the house cleaning season
has come many of our readers will prob
ably find the following hints about
papering walls useful In papering walls
be sure TO remove all the old paper and
paste, andscrape them perfectly smooth.
Dampen the old paper with cloths wet
in saleratus water, and it will come off
easily FL up the cracks with plaster Of
Paris, and if there are any traces of
bugs, wash the walls all oyer with q
weak solution of carbonic acid anu wat
er this will purify the wall and destroy
all mold and vermin. The best paste is
made out of rye -four, with two ounces
of glue added to each quart of paste !;
half an ounce will make the paste better.
People do not understand how danger
Gus it is to paste new paper over old
paper anal paste. Many deaths have en-
sued from this cause the air Of many
sleeping rooms has been thus poisoned
In some old houses several layers Of
paper have been found upon the walls
of rooms and their inmates have died
and none could tell whence came the
disease.

THE ELECTION.

The result of the charter election is
not just what might lave been desired
by the Republicans Of this city in po-
Et;cai sense but so far as the selection
OF good, competetent men is concerned,
We certainly have no cause to complain.
The Democrats, at their convention, did
very graceful thing when they en6ors-
ed the Republican nominations for May
or and City Treasurer. thereby showing
that they appreciate true merit-especi-
ally when there is no hope of electing
any one against them. In the fourth
ward there was much scrookedness, %
and Mr.. Platt, republican nominee for
chairman-Aiderman, was defeated by E.
K. Rand, a gentleman who comes as
near perfection as is possible with q
Democrat. Don 4. Shove, for Justice
of the Peace, was defeated by VIM. II.
Glover, Democrat, and J. Halyerson
was ''scooped" 10y Jerome Pierce
Whatever cause there may have been
for this result, the ward viii have good
officers. Following is the vote by wards,

IANITOwOC RAPIDS

AN effort is being made to have the
fremen of this city, Two Rivers and
Centerville join in and organize Fire
mans Insurance Company. The ques-
ton was first agitated by the members
of the Badger and Torrent companies,
and last evening 1t was discussed by the
Steamer Company, there being an I'M
animous expression in favor of It. 1t is
proposed TO have each member OF the
insurance company pay one dollar to the
widow or orphans of such of the organi-
cation who die, and there being from
500 to 600 fre1nen in the county, pro-
portionate amount would be realized at
a slight expense to each individual. We
hope to see it succeed.

OK Wednesday evening of last week,
the Chamber of Commerce devoted it.
self to consideration of the Railroad
extension. As we have previously stated,
the proposition, submitted by the Com
pany, asking for 800, COO was rejected.
Subsequently a resolution was offered
proposing to give $50, 600 for the extern
sion of the Road to Wolf River and let
the matter of the collection OF the first
$50, 900 be settled By the courts. This
was made the special order of business
at the meeting referred to. 1t was re
ceived with no considerable favor by our
business men, and accordingly al amend
ment vas proposed By Capt. Marston
increasing the amount to S65, 900 which
should be the consideration for the ex-
tension OF the Road and the obliteration
of all old claims. An effort was also
made to increase the latter amount to
SO. 900 but this resolution was rejected
by almost unanimous vote. After con-
siderable debate and a very general ex-
preston of opinion on the part of our
manufacturers and business men, the
avs and nays were called on the $50, G60
proposition which was sustained by {
vote OF "A to S.-Aoplet0,a Post.

TIE reporter of The Green Bay Ga
zetta was informed by gentleman who
arrived from Oconto on Thursday of a
remarkable arrest which was made by
detective at that place.
A man has been in Oconto some three
weeks past whose actions have been
somewhat remarkable. Dressed as q
beggar and begging from door to door,
this man has had access to a number of
houses ; and being quiet and i1offensive
no shadow of suspicion was raised that
he was anything more than he represen-
tea himself. He would s.eep in barns
and take what shelter he could from the
weather and duling the day he was tar
get for the youngsters to SNOWFALL.
As related to US, this man in the garb
of a beggar, was a disguised detective
who was on the track Of a man who had
committed O murder in Nevada some
three years ago, and had followed him
to this quarter. On the day our infor-
nlant left he had captured his man in
house i'll French town, and Immediately
after left Cconto with his prisoner
There was reward of $1,000 offered
for the murderer.

THE INDIANS.


CHEYENNE, Oct M.-Gen. Crook being sat-
isfied that Red Clouds and Red Leafs bands
of Sioux were about to depart with a view of
joining the hostiles in the north, they having
refused to comply with the orders to come into
the agency to receive rations and stubbornly
remaining in camp on Shadron Greek, from
whence it is positively known they were in
communication with the Northern Indians and
receiving into their camp such as came in, he
without awaiting the arrival of Gen. Merritt 8
troops, determined upon disarming them, and
at daylight Cd the morning of the 23d inst,
Gen. Mckenzie with eight companies of the
4th cavalry, one battalion of which was COM
manded by Major Gorden and another by Capt.
Maulk, successfully surrounded these bands,
consisting of 300 lodges, and captured the
bucks, squaws and ponies without firing shot,
and marched them into the agency after having
been disarmed and dismounted.
Spotted Tail, who has evinced answering
loyalty to the whites was made head chief and
Red Cloud was deposed. Spotted Tail, with
Little Wound, have promised to furnish Gen.
Crook with all the warriors he may need to CO.
operate with him in the coming campaign,
which will be inaugurated at once. Geneval
Crook feels that great object has been attain.
ed in his last movement, and that we shall now
know our enemies from our friends
