ROAD AGENTS.

Mr.. James Taylor, OF tho Central
House, Chippewa Falls was in town this
morning, and related the following re-
markable story TO our reporter and other
parties:
About midnight, man by the name
of Smith, who is described as a logger
and resident of Scots Valley, called at
the Central House, and appeared much
excited. He gave the following account
of his adventures: Just before leaving
Eau Claire for the Falls Thursday night,
he was accosted by the stranger, who
asked to ride with him. Mr. Smith,
thinking him rather suspicious i'll ap-
pearance, tried to get out of it, and the
man said he would ride with a friend
who was going mp also. At the Half
Way House, Smith met the same man
and another, and they again asked to
| ride. Smith now smelt very large rat,
and thought some OF stopping at the
Halfway House to avoid their company.
Pulling out couple of cigars, he offered
them to the man, and asked him to go
into the house and get light. While
he was gone, Smith whipped up his
horses and drove away. About 2 miles
this side of the Falls, the same two men
stood waiting by the side of the road,
and one of them caught hold of the bril-
| die, saying, OBJ you, now | want
you to stop" Smith said, ''What dc
you want with me?" He answered.
'D-n you, I'll soon show YOU
Meanwhile Smith had got his revolver
out and now fired three times. The man
! fell and cried out, and Smith drove or
to the Falls. He announced his inten.
ton of visiting the sheriff, but as Mr..
Taylor came away this morning early
/ in haste, he was unable to tell whether
he did or not.--Eau Claire Press.

II is difficult to understand how the
Milwaukee Sentinel can speak of Grant
in terms of commentator, while de-
nouncing the system of which he was
originator and which bears his name.
This is indeed ''condemning the offense
aud not the doer of il. - One cannot
read the insolent vaunts of Heslng and
| Mcdonald without q blush of shame
and a burst of Indignation that these
criminals might safely violate law be-
cause their friend was in a position to
shield them from punishment. A pres
ident who uses the power with which he
is invested by the constitution to defeat
the en3s of justice, and in such manner
that the guilty ones fancy that the law
imposes no restraints upon them, is I'M
deserving of the respect of any American
citizen. Think of criminal arrested by

Grant soon will be president and
such-whelps as you are will soon have
your heads cut off and rolled in bas-
ket." This culprit had experienced ex-
ecutive clemency and he knew whereof
he spoke. He believed, and his belief
had experience to support it, that with
his friend in the presidential chair, he
was not amenable to the laws of the coun-
try and that United States marshals touch
ed him at their peril. Granted that this
bully did Grant injustice, is it not to the
ex-president's discredit that DULLES and
defiant law breakers have this opinion of

self, not devotee of the machine that
does not earnestly desire Grants election.
And can we not estimate the standing of
a man from the character of his support
tiers! Grant may have grown during his
travels, but his past record precludes the
hope of an honest, righteous administra-
ton of affairs. Grant did, as the .Se,atf

to suggest an abandonment of the policy

The Plague or Black Death which is
now ravaging the countries of the east,is
causing wide spread panic throughout
Europe. It is extremely fatal, four out
of every five afflicted, dying. 1t has raw
aged Asia and northern Africa at various
times, destroying millions before exhaust
ing itself. In the year 542 it is said that
100, 900, 900 people persisted in the three
continents through the plague. The
general reader is acquainted with the
great plague of London which occurred
in 1868 destroying 10000 persons.
There is every danger at present that
the plague will extend over large por-
tons of Europe. 1t RACES most violently
III Asia, but is slowly though surely
sweeping through Russia. Strenuous
efforts are being made to prevent its
spread. Villages are being burned and
strict quarantines established. Doctors
know nothing about the disease and it
does not seem to yield to any treatment.
1t is said that the plague has put in an
appearance at Rio Janeiro, Brazil.

The effort to pass a prohibitory law in
this state will certainly be defeated. It
appears that number Of strict temper
ance men are opposed to the pas sage Of
such law, knowing that it would pre-
cipitate contest which would prove in
furious to the cause of temperance.
Temperance workers rely on personal
effort to diffuse their principles rather
than on the harsh means of legislation.
And in this they are wise, because any
attempt at coercion will naturally arouse
mans opposition. The Kewaunee
Temple of Honor have sent remon-
STRANGE against the passage of the law,
and this act will certainly strengthen the
opponents of the measure.
Republicans feel alarmed at the stand
taken on the measure by their represen-
tatives, it being a republican movement.
They feel that a passage of the bill
would weaken them before the people
next fall, and SO oppose it through policy.

SULLIyANT, the celebrated Illinois far.
mer, lately died while on board steamer
on the Ohio River. At one time he
owned a farm eight miles square OF
which he owed bat $4,000, holding at
the time, paper TO the amount of $780,
900. He employed 400 men on his farm,
and was rapidly getting wealthy. lie
was induced by eastern money lenders
to borrow money with which to improve
his farm more rapidly. His lands and per-
sonal property became deeply involved.
At one time he was paying $1,000 interest
per month. Crops failing he was unable
to meet the demands of his creditors and
made an assignment of his property for
their benefit. His total Indebtedness
amounted to 81, 100000, more than his
property would bring.
SuIlivant appears to have been very
energetic and very honest man. Had he
remained satisfied with improving his
land without borrowing money for the
purpose, he would undoubtedly be to-
day what he was at one time, the leading
farmer in the United States. Before
making the assignment, he kept 200
mules busy all winter drawing corn to
market with which to pay his creditors.
