g@B@The following is taken from
the Sentinel and published by request.
We gave a different version in our last
issue as reported to us and which we
believed correct, but we give this for
what it may be worth, read it:
In the report of the important suit
recently concluded in the United
States Court, of Timothy Case, Re-
ceiver of the Green Bay & Minnesota
Railway, against D. NJ. Kelly and
others, it was stated that the decision
was virtually victory for the defend
ants. From the text Of the decision
as entered on the records, it appears
that the statement as made was erron-
eous and the decision is a substantial
and satisfactory victory for the plain
tiff, as the defendants before the COM
mencement Of the suit had refused to
convey the lands now ordered to be
conveyed, unless the plaintiff indemni
fed Kelly to the amount of 100000.
Kelly and his associates alleged that
the lands were theirs individually, but
the court decided that they held them
merely as trustees, and must convey
them to the railroad company, and
furthermore that no bond should be
required from the receiver.

1B@ What is known as 'options'' in
grain speculation has been frequently
condemned by the courts as gambling,
it being simply species of betting on
the future price of grain or other pro-
duce. The Supreme Court of Michi-
gan has just rendered an important
decision in one of these cases. One
man loaned another money to get up
a cornor" on wheat, expecting to share
the profits, but instead was obliged to
sue for the repayment of his loan.
The Court held that a combination
formed to artifcially affect the price of
any necessity Of life was illegal, and
the money advanced in pursuance of
such contract can not be recovered
1t would be a question worth consider
ing for many Of our city churches, how
many Of their members are engaged in
this demoralizing business, CHR.

asg The Evening Wisconsin

RagThe Evening Wisconsin of
July 80 says:
With wish to treat with exact
fairness the sturdy efforts of reformers
who favor prohibitory legislation, the
WISCONSIN makes correction of a
a recent inadvertent statement in it's
columns to the effect that the Kansas
prohibitory law had been set aside by
the courts. The latest decision of
the Kansas supreme court, concurred
in by the full bench, affirms the con-
stitutionality of the stringent prohib-
itory law passed by the last legisla-
ture.
To prevent the enforcement of this
law the anti-prohibltion element in
Kansas and even elsewhere, has made
prodigious and expensive effort, and
the recent favorable decision by the
highest state court is signal victory
for the friends of temperance legisla-
ton.

breech loading towling-piece to Frank
Hill last Friday, for $500. Mr.. H.
told him to bring it around and he
would look at it, and possibly he
would buy it, if it was as be repre-
sented. The party also offered quite
an amount of postage stamps for sale,
and Frank was so certain that the
goods we're stolen that he arranged to
arrest him without further develop
ments, in case he came around, but
waited two hours in vain, then went
to the depot where he found a tele-
gram from the Sheriff of Wood Co.,
to marshal Fedderly. telling him to
look out for two men coming down
the river in boat with a shot gun
AS these chaps entered the city in
that way and had such a gun,
the marshal telegraphed back to
Grand Rapids that Cummings and
Lavigne were here. In few minutes
they received orders to arrest and
hold. A posse composed of T. Hill
Capt, Van Vie, G. w. Snider, and
others, headed by the marshal, sur
p rised them in the barn west of Major
Moe Hers, belonging to Mrs. Ryan,
and captured them with but
little difficulty, taking them to the
calaboose for the night tc await Off
from Grand Rapids. On their way
to the calaboose, Cummings tried the

quarters but were discovered and
guards placed over them. The next
day it was ascertained that they had

hold it, did so and found a large
amount of the goods they had taken
from Doud s. Sons store, three miles
above Centralia; also P. O. stamps
and other ?. o. goods from a post

the possible weakness of the Grand !

H%The Board of Education have
decided to have furnaces put in the
Howe High School. At their meet
ing of July 2Sth they had under con-
siaeration several propositions, among
which was one from the Ruttan Fur
mace Mandatory for the sum of
S1130. This company's furnaces were
highly recommended, and the Board
made them an offer of $1,000, for
two furnaces, No. 7, which the COM
rany have accepted. They will have
them in by the first of September.
The weight of these two is 10000
pounds. The following is what the
State Board say of these furnaces:

will heat all the building except the
large room in the third story The
Board have taken a wise course in
this matter and the school will no

their accompanying inconvenience.

extra levy on the taxpayers and all
will consequently be satisfied The
Board is doing some excellent fnan-
cering.
