The Grand Saloon, alias Williams
whiskey shop, is run on a high scale, by
which many are brought low. Some sober
citizens got frightened and talked of TAX
ing steps to shut up the shebang, hut it
still runs (wliskey). 1t is said that 500
per day is the average sale of dolcful de-
struction. While have not seen any of
our old suckers sucked in TO swiuishncss
in mud, saw one dark night a nice neigh
Dor sprawlcd like Il frog Oh his face i'll the
street dead drunk Another tumbled on
his head out of his wagon, under the
wheels. HIS neck was not broke, and lie
was not run over, only with drinks and
dinner 1t is said that another tumhled out
of his buggy, and that he looked like the
last legislator of our county. Perhaps it
was not his honor laid in the mirc. Men
60 by foot, with bricks in hat very heavy
and hard to carry. others 60 bawling by
singing sottishly. Oh, how different from
years gone by, when we had no license,
and little such scenes. There was talk Of
renting the Jail. Now it is used frequently
as a lookup for liquor loafcrs Fights of
course are plenty. In these respects we
are getting to be quite Il fashionable tow IL.
But it is foolish, ficndish fashion. Would
to God it was done away with. Railroad
Ing is done here for the winter. The boys
complain that Dillon does not pay them
all their dues. One talk Of prosecuting for
500 due. Dillon has been twice arrested
for assault and battery. He strikes the
strikers The two church edifices are yet
unfinished, and will probably remain so
until spring. The Lake froze during the
blizzard on the 14th inst. :. Business has
been quite lively for Glenwood.

Last Saturday afternoon, rs Guiteau vas
being taken from the court room to the
Jail, Man OIL horseback rode to the rear Of
the prison van and fired through the graf
ing, the ball grazing Guitcau's left wrist
and inflicting mere scratch. After the
attempted shooting the assailant wheeled
around and putting spurs to his horse,
dashed away but was followed by the van
and by one or two badly aimed bullets
from the guards revolver, He was finally
arrested and is supposed to be one of the
great family of 'cranks." There is now
question as to his identity, the guard who
fired the shot being of the opinion that he
is not the right man. Guiteau Is in mortal
terror, and has demanded double guard,
and judging from the sentiments of the
people he is liable to need protection, for
the universal expression of opinion in re.
gard to the shooting is one of regret that
the bullet had not gone true to its in
tent. The general feeling is that the fitting
end of the assassin would be by assassii,a

The suggestion of Judge Brown, else
where noted, regarding the employing by
the county of competent stenographer
during the terms of district court, is one
that demands instant action. 1t is not un.
likely that the present term will cost the
county in the neighborhood of ten or
twelve hundred dollars, whereas were a
shorthand reporter in attendance saving
of fully ono half could be made. A skill
flu. photographer can take down questions
and answers as fast as they are delivered;
this is where the time is saved; and as
