human being. The other boy, aged 10

His speciality was gymnastics, and ne

1t was reported last night that some
one had been strewing candy on North
street which was poisoned.
On Tuesday little girl living on Miss
issippi street, between Ohio and New
York, found some of the candy on the
street and ateit. Shorty after she became
very sick, and it was only by the Use of
quick emetics that her life was saved. A
fine dog, belonging to a gentleman on
the same square, ate some of the candy
and died in few hours. Who has strewn
this poisoned candy about the street,
or for what purpose it was done. is a
mystery.-Indianapolis Sentinel.
The prohibitionists of Wisconsin are
trying to "rebuke''the republican
party by the defeat of Gen. Rusk for
governor and the election of his dem
ocratic opponent. They belong to a
class of human beings who are not happy
except when they are "rebuking' some
body. They will probably succeed in the
rebuking business about as we'll as they
did in Ohic.-Lincoln tNe6.) State
Journal.
