WHELPS THAT OUGHT TO BE WHIP
PED.-One OF the meanest and most ma.
licious ''boy's tricks' we ever saw, was
perpetrsted last Tuesday in the A. o
U. W. hall, the plaster Of which was
being repaired. Some boys, whose names
We shall publish as soon IS they are de-
tectec and arrested, sneaked up into the
hall, and splattered Whitewash over the
floors, doors, woodwork. and walls, tore
down . stovepipe and partly smashed 1t,
and did whatever else impish mischief
their innate depravity suggested, and
then they sneaked out like the NANCY lit
tie ours they are. No possible cause, or
any motive except innate deviltry, can
be assigned for their Wanton mischief. II
seems to us that such boys, whoever they
are, must have . mighty poor bringing
up, and If they don't get better training
than they evidently have had so far, their
future may easily be ioretOld. Such boys
run our streets too much. They should
be arrested and well nned, and possibly
their parents might conclude that they
could not afford TO continue tbs sort Of
home education that their children APP
pear to receive. The reform OF such lit
tie scAmps should begin at home, by .
respectable example and the judicious
use OF "a old.fashiOned switch. II such
boys are too young to be ashamed OF
their misconduct, their parents ought to
have sense enough to blush for them, and
for themselves also.

THE RAIN SToRM.-The boss Of the
weather business has been doing the fair
thing in the last week. We believe he
turned his street sprinkler on this region
about Saturday night, and let. her ruu
faithfully till Monday night, closing the
entertainment with an old fashioned pour
that evening. Since then 1t has drizzled
more or less, and remained cloudy and
dark. He could not have performed more
acceptAbly. The thorough wetting is
good on the wheat, and our farmers will
go into wiater quarters with An abundant
supply Of stock water. The streams were
getting low, water rather scarce, and
the rain has been q splendid thing. The
wlseAcres predict an open and wet winter,
and they encourage Us further with the
statement that good crops Invariably fol.
low . wet winter. So mote 1t be.

The present year has been q pecr-
liar one In the lumber market. For
several wears past the history OF the lum-
Der producing regions has been uneven t.
full Ia failures OF those engaged in the bu-
siness, and even this became monotOnOus
from its regularity. Manufacturers with
their whole capital invested could not
sell, and where obliged to keep on in the
business each appeared to be endeavOr-
ing to Guido the other In the amount Of
loss suffered each year, with the only re-
suit OF seeing q glutted market. Farm
ers and consumers generally were spare
ing In their purchases. Crops failed, and
hard times made the demand compare
lively light. The present year has seen
complete change In both supply and de-
mand. From the principal men in Mich
Igan and from the upper Mississippi and
its tributaries came the same story, "No
water In the streams to float the logs to
the mills" The crops in this state and
Iowa, Nebraska, and all other Northwest
ern states, have been unprecedented in
quantity and quality causing an immense
demand. Some OF the largest mills on the
Mississippi have shut down for want Of
logs. Many OF the river men are refu ing
orders at any price, and scarcely any al
| able to fill an order complete from their
stock. Lumber drummers, usually thic
enough, have all disappear ed, being sum
moned home, and most Of the Chicago
dealers have as many orders as they can
I'LL for the next month. The Chicago pa
pers are daily quoting advances either
on cargo or yard market, and the
few csrgoes that arrive are Immediately
sold, leaving the market bare OF offerings
Notwithstanding this excitement and the
large advances In quotations, lumber car
be purchased in EmpOria cheaper to-day
than 1t could have been at the commence
ment Of this year. The Chicago Lumber
Company point to this fact IS proof thai
they have kept their word to supply the
public with all grades OF lumber at the
lowest price consistent With the state Of
their market Of supply. Thankful fol
the liberal manner in which their effort 9
have been appreciated and sustained,
they pledge themselves In the future Il
continue the same policy, selling the best
grades Of dry lumber at the lowest posi-
Bile figures.
