ouIO JINt, 1910
Eternal Spring, with smiling verjiure here
Warns the mild air, and crowns the youthful
Year"
Yes, ''gentle spring" has mounted the
throne with such ease and grace that does
credit, even to one of her acknowledged
ability and refinement. The sun is now
pouring down his hot and almost vertical
rays on the green meadows and fields, as
if to spur them on to do their duty and
to yield abundance for the hard working
husbandman. Nature wears her sweet
est smile to-day, and as l write faint
breeze occasionally signs through the
trees and comes stealing into my room,
momentarily filling it with new life and
activity. The days are getting to be
somewhat unusually warm, and yet they
are not like those Of New Jersey, where
even the impudent mosquitoes use palm
leaf fans to keep themselves from roast
ing to death while satisfying their crav-
ing appetite on some guiltless human
being. We, of course, are blessed with
plenty of the above mentioned blood
sucking creatures, and / think, were it
not for the lack of the palm-leaf, they
would be more tOrminous in this vicinity.
But hold on! what do ] hear? A horrid
din distracts my ear. Is it the lamenta-
ton OF starving mosquito, or is it Ga
briefs mighty trump pealing forth the
awful blast that shall bring speedy disso-
luton to q sinful world! 1t can not be.
In order to convince myself of what is
going on out-of-doors, I press my aching
brow against the pane, and there! see
the cause of all the hubbub. A forsaken
rooster IS growing in the barn-yard, evil
IDENTIFY he is trying to cheer himself in
his loneliness in that manner. And at a
little distance beautiful robin pipes his
tuneful lay on butternut tree IN whose
neighborhood the gentle frogs are har-
moniously praising their great creator.
But this is not all, further see large
herds of cattle and sheep grazing the
tender grass, and extensive fields of
wheat, barley, oats, &C., promising rich
harvest. Such is the condition of this
vicinity since the long wished for rain
arrived, and the farmers may well con-
graduate themselves. DAN.

QUITE an interesting game Of base ball
was played in this city last Saturday, be
tween the Piety Hills of this city and the
Resolutes of Two Rivers, resulting in
favor of the former by a score of 20 to 5.
The Piety Hills play an excellent game,
and though the members of the nine are
quite young it is question whether a
mine" can be formed in the county able
to defeat them. The ResoIutes played q
very fine game, barring two innings,
which ran the score of the Pieties up to
the twenties. These clubs viii probably
play e number of games during the sum
mer, and it will pay lovers of the national
game to be present.

DECORATION DAY.

Decoration Daw was observed in this
city this year with more ceremony than
ever before. We were not present at the
exercises in the school house commemor-
alive of the nations dead, but report
speaks Of them as being appropriate and
fine. 4 large concourse of people were
present at the cemetery. Orations were
delivered by L. j. Nash, Chas. Esslinger
and General Sige, Flowers were strown
on the soldiers graves by the pupils of
the schools, and volleys were discharged
by the rife company. The North Side
school house was decked with flags, and
the stars and stripes foated from num-
Der of the public buildings OF the city.
The day was intensely warm and the
dust few in such clouds as to make it
disagreeable for those in the procession.

THERE was quite heavy frost Sunday
night, though it may well be doubted
whether it was as severe as reported by a
young farmer of Franklin, who insists
that juryman from Maple Grove who
accompanied him to the city early Mon
day morning, had his ears badly frozen.
lie also states that farmers were busy
taking the frost out of their growing
corn by bathing it in water before the
sun rose. We suppose this story viii be
taken with some grains of allowance,
though It is certain Sunday night was
very cold.

A VERY PECULIAR CASE resembling hy-
drophobia occurred in this city this week.
i little boy had been given some colored
candy, which he ate. A short time after
he went home with his father and pro
ceeded to play with large Newfound-
land dog. The little fellow had rubber
ball which he would moisten by licking
it with his tongue and then throw it
away for the dog to bring back. Wheth-
er he absorbed some virus from the dogs
saliva or whether the colored candy
caused the sickness it is not known, but
he suddenly became very nervous and
violent il his actions. 1t required both
his parents TO hold him in bed The lit
tie fellow recovered fully, though during
his sickness his parents were very much
alarmed.

The great drouth during May, resulted
in number of forest fires, through the
northern part of this county, and the
counties through the peninsula, which
threatened great destruction of proper
ty. The people, with the terrible ex-
perience of 1872, were naturally much
alarmed. Fields were overrun by the
fire and fences and buildings burned.
The opportune arrival Of the rain allayed
the excitement and extinguished the
fires.

Doc PoIsoNINe.-Jule Nelson lost q
very valuable dog last Friday by poison
ing. The dog must have picked up some
meat containing strychnine, as he died
within a few minutes after showing symp-

which should not be tolerated. Almost
invariably the worthless curs escape, and
some valuable dog. as III this case, is
destroyed. Beside there is imminent
danger to children, who are never eau

Nelson is naturally very indignant and is
making every effort to ferret out the
poisones.

A CLEVER CAPTURE.

A young man, resident of the town
OF Mishicott, named John Runge, was
employed some time ago by Bibinger &
Day 10 sell farm machinery. Runge was
a man Of more than ordinary ability and
was quite a successful agent. When he
left the employment of the firm named,
nobody suspected that he had been gull
ty OF successive forgeries. The firm re-
ceived the paper given them by Runge
and which purported to be the notes OF
| farmers to whom he had sold agricultural
implements. When the notes came due
they were presented for payment, and
then it was found that the makers names
were forged. Notes amounting to $1,000
we're found to be spurious. Runge had
left and no one knew of his whereabouts.
Sheriff Pierce took the case in hand
and proceeded very quietly to ascertain
the whereabouts of Runge. He worked
patiently for six weeks and learned that
Runge was employed in Chicago to man
age a pedestrian match. He obtained q
requisition from Gov. Smith and tele-
graphed detective of Chicago to meet
him at the Grand Pacific Hotel. The
telegram failed to reach its destination
and Mr.. Pierce after waiting some time
for the detectives coming, submitted the
| a.. J,4IaT,--Z
A very complete description of Runge
was given, and Sheriff Pierce leaving the
case in the hands of La Bounty, proceed
ed to Springfield to obtain the governors
warrant for the arrest. The detective
proceeded to the place where Runge was
when last heard from, but found that he
had left there two weeks before. The
proprietor knew Of his whereabouts, and
La Bounty proceeding on the Information
obtained, found the object Of his search.
He represented to Runge that he was the
proprietor of a garden. in which there
was to be a walking match, and stating
that he understood Rpnge was successful
in managing such affairs expressed
a wish to employ him. Runge suspected
nothing and went with his supposed en-
ployer. When they reached the police
headquarters, he was undeceived by the
detectives saying, "Mr. Runge, Cur Pc
destriau match IS ended. You are under
arrest" Sheriff Pierce returned from
Springfield and took Runge III his Gus
tody, being away from home just three
days. Runge was brought before Judge
kirwan but waived an examination and
was held to bail in the sum of $1,000.
Failing to procure this, he was confined.
His parents are respectable, well to do
people, and he has received good edu
cation. When arrested there was found
on his person n note advising him that
the officers were on his track and that it
would be wise for him to "skip." The
note was signed Friend
BY this second skiIlful arrest, Sheriff
Pierce has added to his already enviable
reputation as detective. There are few
officers in the state who could have work
ed up the case so adroitly. He expresses
himself as under many obligations to the
police officers of Station No. "A, and
particularly to Mr.. H. J. La Bounty, of
the Central Station, Chicago.

The most unfortunate day in the career
Of any young man is the day on which he
fancies there is some better way to make
money than to earn it; for from that feel
ing springs the many extravagant and Wis
ionary schemes which are indulged In for
the purpose Of gaining livelihood without
labor. When young man becomes thor
oughly infected with this feeling, be Is
ready to adopt any means for the accom-
plishment Of his object; and If his plans
are frustrated and he is foiled ia his efforts
upon the very crest Of the wave which he
has already mounted, and In full view, is
the temptation to crime, to shield him from
the disgrace which he thinks must ineri
tably follow in the wake Of defeat To
these he yields, and the first thing be real
izes is TO ind himself the violafor Of The
law, criminal in the eyes Of the commu-
nifty, and an inmate Of the prison. waiting
trial, all brought about for the want OF a
little manly firmness In the outset Of life
to prompt him to choose an avocation IN
life where the penny earned would bring
with il its sure reward Then let our
young men spurn the idea Of obtaining
money without rendering an equivalent:
let them be ready and willing to occupv
positions in life which will give them lie
best possible opportunity 10 develop their
natural talent, and do good 70 Others while
helping themselves. In this way We may

A woMAN's QUESTION.



DO you know you have asked for the costiest thin
Ever made by the Hand above
woman's heart and womRn's life,
And woman's wonderful love?
DO you know you have asked for this priceless thin
As child might ask for toy?
Demanding what Others have died to win,
With the reckless dash Of a boy
You have written my lesson of duty out
Man-like you have questioned me
Now stand at the bar OF my woman's soul
until shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall be whole:
require your heart to be true as Gods stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef;
require far better thing;
Aseamstress you're wanting for stockngsand shirts
look for a man and king
A king for beautiful realm called home,
And man that the maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the iirst,
And say. 1T is very good
am fair and young. but the rose will fade
From my son, young check one one day
WIN you love me then, mid the falling leaves,
Asyou did mid the bloom Of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep
may launch my all on Its tde7
loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.

All things that man should be;
lfyou give this all, would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
Ifyou cannot do ths-a laundress and cook
You can hire, with little TO pay;
But womRn's heart and woman's life
Are not to be won that way

The Mystery Of Perfume.

No one, says the Sacramento Journal,
has been able to analyze or demonstrate
the essential action Of perfume, Gas can
be weighed but not perfume. The small
est known creatures-the very monadcs
of life-can be caught by microscope
lens and made to deliver up the secrets Of
their organization, but it is what cmanates
from the pouch Of musk deer that ellis a
wide space for years with its penetrating
odor--an odor that au illimitable number
of cxtraneous substances can carry on with
out diminishing its size and weight--and
what it is that the warm summer brings
to us from the flowers, no man vet has
been able to determine. So fine, 50 subtle,
so imponderable, ii has eluded both our
delicate weights and measures and our
strongest senses. II we come TO the es-
sence Of each odor we should have made
an enormous stride forward, both in hyci-
enc and chemistry, aud none would profit
more than the medical profession If IL
could be as conclusiyely demonstrated that
such an oder proceeded from such and
such cause, as we already know Of sui
phur, sulphurate, hydrogen, and the like.
