A Young man named Tenant, living a
few miles north Of Lancaster, tried the
effect OF swallowing teaspOonful of arsenic.
The dose was more than his stomach would
hold and it soon began to boil over. His
friends then gave him bottle OF cod-liver
oil, pint of melted lard. pint or go of the
whites of eggs and all the tobacco they
could find in the house. He still liveslll
They had a story that half dozen
young men of Platteville recently came up to
Lancaster and showed our people how to
drink whiskey. And now the people are all
a Platteville preacher, was tried at River
Falls for drunkenness and immortality. We
fear the Rev. Bro. Rindlaub and his religious
journal are not exercising wholesome inau-
ence over the people of that village.
Mr.. Club is after some of the boys with
warning advertisement. Some of them are

his fences and giving him trouble with his
stock. He therefore chooses to regard all
hunters or fishers who go upon his premises
as trespassers. By leaving fences down,
leaving gates open, destroying products, dog
ging cattle and other disrespectful conduct
village people invite the hatred of the farmer.
Barney Russell, who, for ten or twelve
long years has met upon the arena of the

Other features will make both evenings speci
ally interesting.
The election in Lancaster on MONDAY
should have been but was not test of the
"License" or no License strength of the city
The extreme temperance men were "mad
because they did not have ticket out, or be
cause the question was not put in a shape t
bind the council not to grant license, ant
many of them would not even go to the
polls. Probably temperance men never viii
learn that i. each man of them will follow NJ
idea but his own they never will accomplish
anything They never will surround the fox il
/ their circle until they chase towards eacl
/ other.
The resolution complimenting the out
/ gong city council passed at the citizens con
vention could very properly have include,
/ the city Marshal and the street commissioner
John Stevens's vigilance. energy and goot
! Judgment in keeping the walks and streets il
/ order commands universal satisfaction. An,
Mitchers quiet way Of ''sitting down upon
/ all disorders, ruffiansm, or breaches of tn
peace can't be excelled. He is suah terro
to evil doors that they will not even attemp
disturbance. He always acts where actiol
is needed but fear OF cons equences reduce
calls for arrests to infrequency. 1t is no
buster aud fuss and talk to excite antagon
isms that is wanted in Marshal. A presenc
that will secure order and give the Marsha
nothing to do for his pay is the cheapest an
best officer a city can have.
