On Sunday last lot of little boys from

On Sunday last lot of little boys from
6 years to II assembled at Frank Stein
er's barn-yard and "played they were
men" by inaugurating a walking match.
It was please" and about 8
boys were entered. Admission seemed
to be free, as there was large crowd of
boys present. The track was staked out
and took about 100 laps to mile, A dry
goods box served as place for the con-
testants to retire for needed rest. The
please" part was not limited
to running and walking, but included
many new features suggested by the in
genuity or prompted by the exuberant life
of the youthful aspirants for pedal hon
ors. Often the neck was curved in imi-
tation of horse, and gait was struck
as nearly approzimating gallop as biped
peculiarities would allow.
1t seemed to be very foolish sport for
boys, but they were only ''playing they
were men," that was all. It is doubtful
whether the onlookers would spend a
nickel to gain admission to the ''pedes-
trian arena" In this their frugality was
far more creditable than that of their ex-
emplars, who shelled ont quarters with
out stint to see man and woman walk
The boys race-course was rich parody
on the senseless practice which has re-
ceived so much encouragement end coun.
tenance from the English and the Amer
lean people. The little fellows had
enough of that innate delicacy which
years will reduce, to feel ashamed of the
performance, when an sd1lt observer
gave the proceeding something more
than mere casual attention. But it is
amusement for those young people whose
minds are not yet fitted for serious
thoughts. 1t is folly for grown people,
absurd, rsprehensible folly.

and right after him come another man
who coaxed the first man out and told
him that he could buy cheaper else.

the first man came back and said, there

YESTERDAY forenoon quite serious
accident occurred at Schuette's mill in
this city. A boy Is years of age, named
Frank McGovern, while cleaning shaft,
was caught up and before he was releas-
ed, had bis bones badly broken aad re-
ceived other injuries. Both arms were
broken, the left one in several places,
and so badly that the bones protruded in
different places. Ill the fingers of the
left hand were taken off. One of his
legs was also broken in two places. It
was found necessary to amputate the left
arm, and the doctors think that his injur-
les are not necessarily fatal. He was
taken to the city hospital where he now
receives attention.
LATER,-The boy died last night.

IT is to be regretted that the city coun-
Gil did not delay their award to Henry
Sanford for few weeks, so that The
Tribune might do public service in ex-
posing some of the peculiar proceedings
OF the board. Anybody knowing the
members of the city council, knows that
that body is not Influenced by dishonest
motives. But it is the most inconsistent
body. the strangest medley, the most OBJ
stinate in wrong doing, on Gods foot
stool. And this has been its history ever
since the writer has taken any interest in
city affairs. That board composed OF
members SO thoroughly honest and hon.
orable in their individual business rela-
tions, should be so unmindful of proprie-
ty and consistency in public affairs, is
one of the anomalies of the politics Of
the 18th century. The board is as inno-
cent of vertebrae as an angleworm, as
lacking in directness as swallow and rs
unmindful of consistency as local
politician. There is 10 ordinance that
the board will not repeal if the solicita-
ton comes from the right quarter, no
precedent they will not disregard at the
request of wealthy or influential citizens.
1t is even said there are many instances
in which public interests we're sub
ordinated to private convenience, and
we hoped that the spasmodic virtue of
The Tribune would be sufficiently long
lived to air the matter; but that hope
is gone and only those individuals who
had the temerity to vote against Sand
ford will feel his wrath. The others
will, as is the practice, undergo an apoth-
costs.
The action of the board in the matter
of the reward has been marked by the
same devious, Machiavelian policy which
the council has adopted as its usual prac-
tice. Right here, we will state that in
our opinion Sanford and Edwards had
the legal right to the reward, leaving
equities out of sight. But the board
showed its prediction for "snap games
in the manner of allowing the claims. A
| special meeting was called to take testi-
mony. No testimony was or would be
taken. and the matter was settled then so
far as the board was concerned, all the
| different claimants being present. At the
meeting last Monday not single claim
ant was notified of the purpose of the
board which proceeded to award the $500
! to two of the claimants, not even giving
chance to other claimants to be heard.
Not only this, but after having told the
| other claimants that the board would not
give any consideration to claims unless
on an order of the court, thus assuring
them that the council would do nothing
| to prejudice their interests. Now, if this
is not perfi6y, what is it? Is it credit
able way of doing business Can the
board afford to be classed as the parts
ans of any particular claimant and bear
the odium of resorting to trickery; yes,
trickery whose prominent feature is down
right deception, in order that the reward
might go to certain personsa The coun-
Gil is peculiar body. very peculiar for a
deliberative one and one composed of
men who in their business relations are
above reproach. They are not given to
the habit of reflection and act too much
on impulse and too little on cool judg-
ment.

SHERIFF MURPHY left on Tuesday for
the Oshkosh asylum with Mrs. Skubahl
of Gibson, who lately became insane.
Hers is rather sad story. Less than
year ago she secured divorce from
her husband. At the time she was
enceinte although not in so advanced
state of pregnancy as to be noticeable.
Soon her mind showed signs of being
unbalanced and she gradually grew
worse until she became q conformed
maniac. While IN that condition she
gave birth to her child. The maternal
instinct was not obliterated by the
dethronement of reason and she cared
in rough way for the unfortunate little
one who came into the world under such
inauspicious circumstances. The former
husband refused to take the child and
it was impossible to get it admitted to
the Oshkosh hospital. Mother and
child were brought to the Jail here and
after some little negotiations the father
was induced to take the child

THE prohibitionists held convention

THE prohibitionists held convention
on Monday night and nominated the
following ticket: Senator, E. J. SmaIIey;
Sheriff, KIND Teigen; county treasurer,
King Wieman; county clerk, J. Earl
Harris; coroner, M. Mccarthy. Assem-
bly, 2nd District, George Powell; Bid
District, VIM. Eatough. No nomina-
tons were made for district attorney or
for member of assembly from the First
district. 1t is doubtful whether the
ticket will poll the full prohibition vote
OF the county, not that the men are not
good enough, but as there is no chance of
election or even a showing of fair
strength, there will be but little desertion
from the two regular parties.

The potato rot in this state will not
materially affect prices, it is said. New
York dealers say the potato yield in the
western continent is immense, and that
large export trade from the United
States will be carried on. Last year
100000 bushels of potatoes were
imported TO this country, something
unheard of before in its. history. The
tide will set equally strong the other
way this year. The western states have
raised the heaviest crops and they are
being sold in Ohio and Indiana now for
25c. per bushel. A few farmers in this
county quit digging their potatoes as
the amount of good potatoes did not
pay for the labor. But the weather
has been so favorable that those who
dug early have had no trouble in saving
the crop.

SANFORD is evidently attempting to
establish his superior qualifications for
the position of sheriff His syllogism is
about as follows:
LIST. The man who caught Rathsack
should be sheriff.
End. Henry Sanford caught Rath-
sack.
ord. Ergo, Henry Sanford should
be sheriff.
But the major and the minor premise
do no lead in practice to the unerring
conclusion which they do in logic as
Sanford demonstrates by the negative
syllogistic method. The man who could
not catch Rathsack is not fit to be sheriff.
The present incumbent could not catch
Rathsack. Hence, he should not be
sheriff. But he is and things are not
what they might be or should.

PEOPLE wondered why Max Stauss
should be sat down upon 80 heavily by
The Tribune as q candidate for county
treasurer. It was for the moment forgot
zen that Max is member of tbs city
council and voted against paying the re-
ward. We move that Sanford be made
the next president of the State editors
association and be presented with a gold
headed cane. He frightened the city
council to such Ell extent that they felt
like giving him the whole reward and let
Perry whistle for his share. Sandfc-d
deserves the reward. He had pluck
enough to capture Rathsack and grit
enough to fight the city council, make
them rescind resolution and do him
Justice. But he must make an apology
for calling them mules. A mule could
not be subdued 80 readily, and would at
least cut the air with his heels. If it is
in order we propose three cheers for
| Sanford and the mules.
