MOnOna Lake Assembly.

Where shall we take our summer
rest, and recreation, is the question
with which men are beginning to con-
suit their wives and their pocket
books. A few are able to betake
themselves to the sea-shore or the
mountains, but, the great mass Of tired
workers of the Northwest must seek
some convenient and cheap resort,
near by, if they are, to give themselves
and their families this needed rest and
recreation. 1t looks as though the
Monona Lake Assembly, located in a
beautiful grove on the shore Of Lake
Monona,. at Madison, was devised on
purpose to afford such resort.
Tent-llfe for few summer weeks is
d wholesome and enjoyable change
from house-life, and has a rare charm
of its own. A loyelier spot in which
to pitchea tent would be hard to find.
One mile across the lake stands the
state capitol, and the university with
its beautiful surroundings. Ample
provision has been made for excellent
fishing, boating and bathing.
The living expenses have been re-
duced to the very lowest rate. All
the principal railroads in the state will
sch tickets to and from the assembly
grounds at excursion rates. A season
ticket for $15 admits you to all the
privileges of the assembly. Children
with their parents admitted free.
Single ticket 25 cents, for one day.
You can carry your own tents, or
rent them on the grounds; a 1Ox12
tent for $500 and floor it for S1.00;
a family tent, 3 rooms for $500 and
floor it for $3.50. You bring your
own bedding and camp chairs. You
can live at the admirable restaurant
for seventy-fve cents day, or board
yourself from 25 to 40 cents. But
the assembly is especially summer
school for social, musical and mental
reunion the meeting will be held in
three large pavilions. Twenty brillian t
lectures by some of the best talent in
the country offer treat to all who
may go.
The Sunday school work will be I'M
der the direction of Rev. 4. II. Gillet,
of Kalamazoo, Mich, one Of the best
experts in this line. The music will
be directed by Prof w. F. Sherwin,
OF Cincinnati, an eminent composer
and leader, and will be grand must

will be given.

Base Ball.

Some twenty of Necedah's best
young people came to this city on
Wednesday evening last to have a
good time and witness a match game
of base ball between their nine and
that of Centralia. They were royalty
entertained by the Centralia young
people. The match game of ball was
played at the fair grounds Thursday
afternoon and was won by the Necedah
chaps by score of ~ to IA. The
attendance was large but the playing
was very poor on both sides and
especially so on the part of the Contra
las. W believe Grand Rapids or
Wausau could pick up a scrub nine
and annihilate either of those clubs.

From ssSkedunk."

There was much feeling aroused at
this place on the fourth of July, ow-
ing to the Joslyn's crowding them
selves upon the public by getting up a
celebration, in opposition to the regu-
lar one under the management of Mr..
NJ Short and T. Lewis. But the
"kickers'' were evaded and passed by,
not having but corporals guard in
attendance. The Joslyn celebration
was an entire fzzle. At the regular
celebration there were $50 who patron
lied the boys and at night y sat
down to supper. The dance was a
success, Sc numbers being sold. A
large swing was enjoyed during the
day by pleasure seekers and the liberty
pole with It's flag floating in the breeze
presented the pride of the celebrators
The horse race in which G. Lewis, i.
Brooks and G. Heron were the rid
ers, G. Lewis won the first two heats
taking the purse of $500. The foot
race between Jos. McClain and w.
Schlautpitz was quite interesting, the
former defeating the latter The con-
test in the game of base ball between
the Centralia Grandmother" and the
"Skedunkers" was holly contested in
six innings, resulting in favor of the
former by scoro Of 8 to 10. Every
thing passed off nicely. The young
men return their sincere thanks to the
people who so generously assisted in
making the celebration one long to be
remembered. The boys have nick
named the Joslyn's, on account of
their selfshness, as the "Royal Nibs"
because they completely failed in all
they undertook to do, A word to
the wise is sufficient.

The time spent by the editors of the
Tribune i'll trying to persuade the
public that the REPORTER is nc better
than it ought to be; that 1t has no
influence, etc., would be much more
proftably spent if they would look to
their own interest, by at least having
their few little adv's corrected, and
notices changed, with current events.
They have been advertising that J. S.
Norris is pastor of the Cong. Church
for the past year, when everybody
knows he resigned one year ago in
August. Bro. BENEFIT has also been
in New London nearly one year, yet
these hoodlums howl about the few
errors that creep into the REPORTER.
Where is there doctor, lawyer, MGR
chant, editor, banker. or other business
man who does not make errors? None
are so perfect, but that they will
make plumbers, and our tcodfsh"
editor is no exception to the general
rule

New FIVE dollar notes are to be
issued by the national banks which will
bear the portrait Of President Garfield.
The Comptroller of the Currency says
this was deemed appropriate. as the
first vote cast by Gen. Garfield in Con-
gress was for the National Bank Act
of July 3, 1864, and for the additional
reason, that he had always been an
earnest friend of the national bank
system In the other denominations
of $40, $40, $50 and S100 there is to
be no change in the vignettes. but the
seal and the charter number of all the
banks are to be printed in brown,
instead Of green, as heretofore. The
backs of all the notes are to have
brown lathe work, with brown laid
work in the centre, in place of the
engravings of the paintings in the

We have only this to say why we
did not write up the two sides to the
little misunderstanding over in Cen
tralia that the only questions at
stake between the two parties, were
points of law which must necessarily
be decided in competent Court, and
to stir the matter up could do no good
and might do incalculable harm. We
believed it to be for the general good
to let the matter cool down calmly and
say nothing about it.

Grand Rapids has caught on to the

What in "sam hill'' do you mean,

trict holds note against this able
man (who is ever true to his mission of
stealing) for the sum Of $3.50. 81

money is the blood money taken from
poor people. He harps On Mr.. Bens-
ley being in the way etc. Whil6 Mr..
Bensley pays taxes on $4,000 asses
ment this editor returns, under oath,
that his printing Office is worth only
$50. An honest greenbacker doing
such things! The Enterprise is worth
at least 5000. But then Mr.. Bensley
is in the way, A defender of tax
payers CD his true mission CD There
is no man who is more false to princi-

his days and only exists now through
their permission. True to his mission

1t is unfortunate, but nevertheless
it is true, that all book agents, temper
ance cranks, agents of all kinds that
have some excuse for Christian labor,
impose upon the M. Z. Pastor. They
seem to think that the parsonage is a
free hotel for that class of Christian
laborers and all they have to do is to
present themselves. bag and baggage,
and they will be entertained week or
more without money and without price.

urated whereby this class of people
might be learned to do better.
