While at Rudolph last Saturday
looking over the beauties of that busy
and prosperous territory we were
courteously and politely entertained
by Messrs. Clark & Scott the proprie-
tors of the large staye factory and
lumber mill at that place, and are also
under obligation to Mr.. j. O'Leary,
their book-keeper and clerk, for cour-
tesies Messrs. Clark & Scott do a
large business, yearly, manufacturing
and shipping slaves to Minnesota and
Iowa, averaging about % car loads
each month, besides making and ship
1000, 900 feet of pine lumber They
have 1000 feet of shed room which is
completely filed with slaves and bar
rel heading, and they are now erecting
another shed 800 feet long. These
sheds are all substantial ones made to
stay. At present about 60 men are
constantly employed, and this number
increases in the fall and winter to
about $50 and sometimes more. This
firm also conduct large farm from
which they raise quantities of tame
hay. Mr.. Clark says that tame hay
is really the best paying crop that one
can put in. They own nearly 5000
acres of land in Wood and Portage
counties much of which is valuable
for its pine and hardwood. The St.
Paul r. R. Company have surveyed a
line from the station to their mill
about one aud one half miles, and will
lay track in the near future which
will do away with their tramway now
used for hauling their stock to the
railroad track. At the present writ
ing Messrs. Clark & Scott are only
running the stave and heading mill
Mr.. John Albee, a most faithful and
competent man is manager of the
factory, and is also repairing the saw
mill. We enjoyed our brief stay at
Rudolph and will find time to return
again in the near future.
Mrs. Albee we found in her Satur
day apparel, but true to her nativity
and good sense; she smilingly said
we had come en- the wrong day to fine
her "dressed-up'' and invited US t,
dine with them. Mrs. A. is one O
the leading spirits of the town AM
when she says go--it is a go surel,
enough.
At the station Messrs. Dou,
& Go. have a stave factory in whicl
are employed p men and they too ar
doing an immense business Her
Mr.. Darlington is overseer and bust
ness moves on with the regularity of
clock. After a pleasant chat will
other friends, we boarded the trail
and came home.

Swallowed Whole
The Democratic County Ticket
Made in the Shade and then
Swallowed by Acclama-
tIOn +!
THE TICKET A POOR ONE!

The democratic county conven-
ton met in this city as previously
announced, in the Court House.
A fair number Of delegates were
present. After the usual prelim-
inaries of announcing the object
of the convention, electing l..
Kroner as chairman and L. NJ.
Nash as Secretary, a committee
on credentials was appointed and
reported. 1t was found they had
no delegates from the town of
Rock, Grand Rapids and Port
Edwards. Following this report
a few motions were made and
carried regarding how the dele
gates should vote which was
decided in favor of voting by
reclamation. Then the following
ticket was unanimously adopted
having been previously made up
for the unterriied to swallow:
Assemblyman-
Geo. EIiIes, Baskerville.
Sheriff
Peter McCam1ey, Grand Rapids
Treasurer
Henry Kuntz, Marshfeld.
County Clerk
w. T. Jones, Centralia.
Register Of Deeds
Jasper Crotteau, Rudolph.
Clerk of Court
]. J. Boon, Marshfeld.
District Attorney
L. P. Powers, Centralia.
Surveyor
VIM. Scott, Grand Rapids.
Coroner
John Timme, Town Of G, R.
Messrs. T. E. Nash, James Nc
GIynn and J. w. Horton were
appointed as a county committee
for the ensuing two years.
On motion the convention adj
Ijourned.
The ticket taken as a whole is a
weak one and but few Of the can
didates can hope for an election
with any degree Of certainty. Mr.
IIiles and Mr.. Powers we under
stand will not accept the empty
honors profered and as some dis
satisfaction exists among them
there is but a meagre chance Of
electing any man on the ticket
Spectators and "gim-me" office
seekers are not the most desirable
men to place in such responsible
positions.

The reverend gentleman holds the
Idea that the scriptures teach that
the penalty Of sin Is death. Christ
came and 1t was his mission TO redeem men
from death, When he came he died q

added that he does not believe the first or

gentleman distinctly remarked, stthat there
is no immortality out of Christ"
The views of Mr. Kramer arenot peculiar
or new-they embody the idea of destruc-

fact, as far back as theological history can
be traced. The ex-pastor of the Household
OF Faith explained his theory clearly and at
some length, giving numerous quotations
from the Bible to strengthen his opinions.

Mayor Grace Seeking Advice with View
TO Preventing the Glove Fight.
New YORK, July31.-Some time ago Mr..
Henry Bergh sent letter to Mayor Grace
protesting against such exhibitions as the
recent Sullivan Wilson glove fight in Madi-
son Square Garden, and asking him to take
steps IT possible TO prevent similar affairs in
the future. Mayor Grace sent this letter to
Corporation Counsel Whitney to-day, with
a request for the latter's opinion as to
whether a fight between individuals in pur-
suance of a previous arrangement, such per
sons fighting in a ring or otherwise with
gloves, attended by seconds and under a
challenge to fight, with the intention OF
lighting until one party succumbs
from exhaustion, or injury, or
with the design on the part of either party
of placing the other "hors de combat'' within
certain period of time or In a given num-
ber of seconds, was fight with fists, or q
prize fight within the meaning OF the law.
If Mr.. Whitney decided that such an exhi-
bition is prize fight, the Mayor will take
measures to prevent glove fights in this city
hereafter. The Police Board to-day decided
that IL such Interpretation is placed on these
glove contests, the Superintendent will issu'
such orders as will prevent absolutely tht
advertised glove fight In Madison Squar,
Garden on August IA, and all other exhibi
tions of a similar character In this city.

rTo-day's Herald Bulletin. j

The distribution of pressure is very irregu-
lar throughout the West, owing to the adj,
vance of a subsidiary centre of disturbances
over the central valleys. The main .depres-
sion is central over Wyoming and Montana,
and there are indications that it will move
northeasward toward the upper lakes to-day.
The high area dominates the weather in the
Middle Atlantic and New England States,
but it is likely to reeede southeastward this
afternoon, allowing the depressions to pass
along its northern margin. Rain fell in the
Central valleys, lower lake regions and Dor
tions of the Middle Atlantic States. Ololldil
ness is reported from nearly all the distt1cts
east of the Mississippi. The temperature
remained nearly stationary along the Allan
tic coast and rose in the Central and South
ern districts. Fresh light winds prevailed.
The weather in New York and its vicinity
to-day will be warmer and hazy, preceded
by cloudiness and showers in the forenoon.
Tomorrow promises to be still warmer and
fair. =

to her engine which caused her to come into

the fact that there was new casting aboard
to supply the broken part the boat would
have had to lay off for three days, and there
would have been no boat to take her place.
