DOVER HAPPENINGS.

 Boarding house keepers are happy
 Candidates plenty.
 Speaking today by the candi dates for Governor, Messrs. W. R. Miller, $ P. Hughes, Thos. Fletcher, and the Old War Horse Ben T. Elm bry. We say hurrah for Embry.
 -"One of the Boys" from Atkins has been Tn attendance at our Cir cult Court. He is as good locking as ever. May he live long and pros per.
 Some one entered the store of Messrs. Poynter & White last Satur- day while .Roof" was out and took five dollars from their money drawer.
 Some of 'sthe boys" got off a little joke" on W. B. on the first Will thought it was the young lady and retaliated by sending package containing 'etcetera." Oh William William did yon not know better?
 A man was found dead in the bayou some two miles above here last Saturday. Supposed to be q crazy German who has been staying over on Piney. He must have been in the water two or three weeks as he was decaying considerably when found.
 A Sunday or two ago the teach CT oS our Bible Glass Tn Sunday school told us that while Moses was gone up to Mount Sinai to receive the law Aaron had calf. We don [ believe this on Aaron, but those be- ing the days of miracles it may have been so.
 The present grand jury is the most intelligent that we have seen here for some time and we are of the opinion that there will not be as much time spent in those little mirror cases as was by the last grand jury and there will be few indictments found but what will be sustained in the higher courts.
 Why don't somebody write an- other letter suggesting new place for the county seat. Only seven now in nomination without Dover. As they cannot all have it why not let it remain here, as the old court house can be fixed up with one tenth the money it would take to build a new one.
 Every since the new organ has been m use at our Sunday school we have noticed petty jealousies arising between certain parties as to who should control it. Last Sunday It broke out in an open war of words. Such scenes are very ridiculous in Sunday school to say the least, and if the parties Gould see themselves as others see 'em," they wonld cer- tainly leave these matters to he set tied outside. We don't know who IS to blame. But we ao know that it is disgracei'ul to our Sunday school, and hope it will not occur again,
 We are Informed that the report about Treasurer Parker being de- faulter is mistake, and only arses from money being pad on school warrants which are yet out, and which he has no credit for on his books, and that everyt ing will be settled at the next meeting of the County Court. We are glad this is so and hope no one will attribute any wrong motive to our notice of this in the DEMOCRAT two weeks ago.

Why don't the Greenbackers and civil reformers go into the Demo cratic party and do some good. This '.new party" movement is all folly. In the first place all such move ments catch all the folks who have lately lost sunken political vessel and the crew is suspected because we have seen them aboard pirat- ical craft In the next place the Democratic party can't "bust."

1T is not all rose colored in the

THE great fairs held last week at
st. Paul and Minneapolis were the
events of the year. Perhaps no
place north of Milwaukee ever be-
fore witnessed such congregations
Of people as those cities did last
week. On Thursday in St. Paul
and Saturday in Minneapolis-the
days President Hayes visited the
respective places-it is estimated
there were 100000 people in each
city and at the fairs. The fairs
were magnificent exhibits of the
resources of the country, and the
wealth, industry and skill of its
people. The show at St. Paul was
immense; that at Minneapolis was
much the smallest, but the choicest
and best arranged, and left the
best impression on the impartial
visitor. st. Paul had the largest
collection of home-raised horses
and cattle; Minneapolis exhibited
cattle from Iowa, Wisconsin and
Illinois mainly. The collection Of
rich ores from Silver Islet attracted
much attention. The horse racing

IN his speech at Stevens Point
accepting the nomination Mr..
Pound, referring to the record of
his success in procuring appropria-
tions fer his State, said-these are
his exact words as reported: "the
northern portion has $4,000 to i'm
prove the natural inlet to Superior
Harbor-ths main har6or getting
$50, 900" What does this mean? ?
That he got in all $4,000 for Supe-
rior harbor? If it does then those
Duluth fellows with their four
powerful steam dredges are very
coolly working out the $50, 900 in
the "maiu harbor" up near their
docks, six miles from Superior
while one delicate little man is up
the Nemadji getting out willow
brush for the protection of the
natural inlet" If the $4,000
was designed as Mr.. Pound says,
why is it not being expended in the
"msin harbor"? Or was Mr.. P.
trying to make little extra capital
for himself?

naturally comes up how long will
our forests hold out at the present
rate ofmanufacture? 1t is really an
important question, upon which
follows the inquiry, as to what we
are to do for building material
when this magnificent wood-pine
lis exhausted. One authority af
ter another has entered formally up.
on its solution, with satisfactory re.
suits in local instances, but very
vague ones as to the field at large
At the rate we are cutting it to-day,
from thirty to fifty years seem to be
agreed upon as the limit. Tw enty
years ago there was apparently no
limit, for the consumption was not
only less, but the means for it's
manufacture were primitive, and
accomplished much smaller results
than now. 1t seems as if it were
impossible to further improve the
machinery of saw mills, but the
near future may, for all that, see
saving machinery, in comparison
to which that of the present day
will be contemplate. So, although
twenty years ago there was no see
ing the end of the timber, now, with
the modern mills and myriads of
them, we are beginning to calculate
with dire certainty as to the time
when "tLe wooden age" will be a
thing of the past.
