Auburndle News.

The Good Templars have been
practicing a drama all the Spring, and
judging from the cast of characters,
we expect something magnificent in
the line Of an entertainment about two
weeks hence.
Eight children were confirmed last
Sunday at the Luthern meeting after
two hours of catechising to which they
responded very creditably.
And now we have a saloon well
stocked with that demoniacaI liqued
calculated to bring misery into the
families of those who have fed to
Auburndale to avoid the accused
tempter they could not otherwise re
sist. But, hold the saloon is not
licensed and is harmless We trust
the members of the town board prize
their honor too highly to grant a
license and sell the temperance people
who elected them. If a license is
given the reproach of the town falls
upon t,oo men, and those two know it.
Our tent photographer has gone to
Marshfeld.
John Armeah has been spending a
few days at the Point where he had a
high time with the boys.
Leslie WiIIet, and Emery and VIM.
st. Thomas have returned from trip
down the river. They were engaged
on fleet of lumber belonging to 10.
Desert of Mesinee.
Mr., Linde's family have moved here
from Mich. and Obey is a widower no
more.
H. G, Lytlc has moved into his new
house and is prepared to keep one
small boardcr.
1t is said there is a man child at Mr..
i. Seebers who claims a great deal Of
attention just now. We are informed

We notice W. Garduer for luck
has been having his his eye draped in
morning w L. Jackson our under
sheriff did the job Tribune.
Just as predicted before election
that sherief WheeIau if elected would
appoint W. L. jackson the most unfit
in the county for Deputy. This bis
friends denied up and down but never
theIess he was appointed and his utter
incompetancy is shown in the above
item. An officer who is sworn to keep
the peace and see that law and order
is observed, deliberately insults one of
the oldest and most peaceful citizens
of Centralia, and because the insulted
party gave him a blow in the mouth
he takes the law In his own hands
and pounces on his victim like hawk
on a chicken, instead Of arresting Mr..
Gardner as he should have done, did
he consider Gardner guilty of mis-
demeanor. The trouble arose over
family affairs which do not concern
the public, but for the second officer
of the county to insult citizens who
results it with blow and for the Off
Ger to take the law in his hands be-
cause as he says: s'Gardner had
nothing to pay his fine ,oith if he had
arrested him SO he thought he ,could
thrash him" 1t is true Mr.. Gardner
is not without faults and he does 90
to far in drinking but he has a host
of friends Notwithstanding. If the
people of this county are not sick of
such officers we loose our guess.

Notwithstanding the fact that very
little was said in advance, of DR.
Hamilton's coming to address the
Open Temple, Sunday evening the
Cong. Church was completely filled
with people eager to hear the Dr.,
knowing full we'll he would do him
self justice. The worthy Chief Temp
lar, r. p, Bronson, made a brief
speech after the choir had sang an
anthem and Bro. Bennett had opened
with prayer, setting forth the object of
the meeting. He then introduced
DIR. Hamilton, of MERRIAM The DR..
opened by saying he was not going to
make a set speech but have a good
home talk with the people, and if we
are any judge he did The audience
was kept in good humor all the way
through We have not met but few
men who strike the nail on the head
50 perfectly as the DR.. He makes
his listeners feel perfectly at home,
and tells them the bold truth every
time never failing to hit some one.
His original way of evading a dilema
or breakdown for words to express
his ideas, is very practical indeed say
nothing about their being laughable in
the extreme. We fairly shook with
laughter, and ha! ha! most Of the
time at his eccentric ways and express
ions as did the larger part Of the
whole audience. HIS talk gave ex-
cellent satisfaction and will undoubt-
eddy result in doing good. Bro
Bronson then made brief speech set
ting forth the object of the Temple
and inviting the public to give it their
hearty support. He told a story to
flutrate his points on joining the lem
ple The choir rendered excellent
music for which they have the sincere
thanks OF the entire Temple. The
meeting was success in every par
ticular.

I have heard Henry Ward Beechel

Human Freedom far surpasses it;

with his PROBLEM of Life, but it is
in no sense as instructive as Human
Freedom. wish everybody

1t is confidently asserted that Rev.
j. W: Hageman will return to Wau-
sau with a companion, one that he mas
promised to obey and cherish so long
as the machine continues to run. He
being absent from town, we feel at
liberty to make few remarks on the
subject and with a freedom that we
should not indulge, were be within
arms length. In the first place, he
had no business to do such thing
without first asking permission. For
nearly five years he has been our prop
erty and has labored earnestly and
diligently to snatch the brands from
the burning. He has helped to build
up church that is an ornament and a
credit to the town, and the welfare Of
his parishioners has been his first and
only care. During all this time he
trod the wine press alone, and we have
all been so accustomed to look upon
him as a man with an eye single to
the glory of his Maker, that it will
have a tendency to make things dis
jointed and warped to have to consid
er him as having another purpose. 1t
is a grave charge, but truth requires
us to say that he has been living with
US in false position. Many time
and oft have we passed his dwelling
place and found him burning the mid
night oil, and the conviction went
home to us that he was struggling with
the Scriptures and preparing those
sermons that were the pride and com
fort of his flock But was this SO !
In view Of human experience and the
circumstances before mentioned, car
it be said with confidence that his
time and oil was occupied and used
entirely in spiritual speculation. In
deed, is it not human to assume thai
the silent moon looked down upon the
soldier of the Cross engaged IN The
human occupation Of writing letters.
It must be so. This sudden coup d,
tate is confirmation even to conviction.
But the picture has a bright side
Heretofore he has simply existed; nov
he has commenced to live. The scale
will have been removed from his eye
and as he energies from the darkness
and obscurity Of single blessedness
his ideas of life will broaden ant
spread to an extent heretofore unimag
Unable to him While we CRITICS
him for SO taking US all by surprise, W
congratulate him most earnestly AM
heartily in being emancipated from TIL
thralldom into which every man i
cast who lives alone -. Hausau Cen

Bro. Wheelock, of the Taylor
County Star and Ners straightens
himself out and says this about poets:
Poets have sung of the beautiful
evenings in May when all nature is
hushed to repose, and the balmy breeze
WATTS to the greatful sense the fra
GRANGE of the blossoming apple trees
The moon, sailing in majesty DER the
wide expanse of creation, shedding
her sheeny light upon this beautiful
sphere, clothing the most commonplace
objects in halo Of splendor, and the
pleasant sensation Of peace beatifc in
its nature, that steels upon the mind
and makes US better and nobler by its
presence All these have been glori-
fed in verse. One feature Of these
beautiful May evenings that have been
ignored heretofore we purpose to men
ton and as we have not copyrighted
or patented the idea a ''few verses
thrown off to while away half hour" on
this subject will not cause displeasure
on our part Poetic reader, we sug-
gest, you act upon the suggestion:
Here are the outlines, clothe them in
appropriate language:
1t was a calm beautiful night in May
(last Monday), nature seemed to have
exerted herself to the utmost to make
it pleasant for parties stopping on this
pIanate. The moon shone as usual,
(don't forget to throw in considerable
moon): tne night birds woke the
echoes; the balmy breezes waited the
customary perfume. A manly form
might have been seen reclining upon
snow white couch, wrapped in the
peaceful slumber of the just Chat was
us). SUDDENLY, unexpectedly, upon
the night air steals subtle oder, in
discribable, twenty-eight ounces to the
pound, and twenty-four pounds to the
cubic foot Of air. The nocturnal pole
cat has arrived The manly form
chokes, stangles, wakes, and rushes to
close the window and shut out the
beautiful night with its horrible smell
Bah Whcw !! We will draw a
veil over the balance Of the scene and
leave it to the Imagination of the
poet.
