temperance lecturer in Dakota, and
| very sincere one.
BARNEY MURPHY, au old resident of
/ Cato, died at his home in that place on
| Friday last. He was well on in years
but quite vigorous. He took cold some
| time ago which caused his death.
| A NEWSPAPER named "Cheek" jastifes
| its title by the proposition it sends to
contemporaries. 1t is a puny paper in
| all but cheek and it offers to exchange if
the other paper will insert S. adver-
| tisement.
PAUL SoLELEsKI of Chicago, has col
lected the poems of Poland and publish
| ed them in neat volume. Through the
kindness of Mr.. Mallek of Nordheim, we
have seen q copy. The work is quite
| creditable to the editor.
On account of the failure of several of
the town clerks to send lists of the names
as required by law, circular lately pre-
pared will probably not reach many of
| the clerks in this county.

IT doesn't seem to matter much from
what quarter the wind blows, it is pro-
vokingly chilly. ''The forty days" east
| wind drove the cold to the west, and now
| the direction of the wind is reversed and
| the cold is being blown back.
THE graveling of st. Clair street has
proved to be dismal failure. No clay
| was placed on the street before it was
| graveled and now the sand and gravel have
mixed beautifully and make street on
which no ole wishes to drive.

THE CITY council should offer liberal
reward for the scalps of cats. A cat is a
bigger nuisance than any of the naeph-
tits americana, and the worst of it is
tina. sausage factories are not destructive
of the feline species. A cat has more
lung power than vendor of pea nuts at
| q circus.
KEwAUNEE people are not experts in
preparing programmes. In preparing
for Decoration Day, q man named Dish
maker was appointed committee on
music, all by himself. If they had any
regard for the eternal fitness of things,
Mr.. Dishr1aker would be chairman of
committee on edibles.

THE Rankin Guards are not slcuches,
by any means, IN military evoiutions.
just how quickly the boys would get
"blood in their eye" at an insult offered
to the American flag has not yet been
demonstrated. But they are seemIy
lot of boys when decked in the habili-
ments of war and would no doubt wade
in gore if the occasion demanded it.
The Liliputians received cordial re-
ception on Monday night. every person
present being fayorably predisposed
toward the midgets. The giant was sick
and failed to put in an appearance, if in
deed he was not nonentity. Some of
the tiny people are good singers and al
though the acting of most of them is of
an indifferent character, they entertain
an audience very pleasantly.
FARMERS come to town muff1ed up as
if it were December instead of the mer-
ry month of May. Scarfs are still fash
ionable, and overcoats may be worn
without doing violence to prevail
ing style. People are growing tired of
cold and have some thoughts of emigrat-
ing. The wind has been searching for
little warmth lately and has tried all
points and mourns because it finds it not.
A blast from Tophet itself would be an
agreeable change.

lers who travel about from place to place

who do not give themselves any trouble
as to whether the rods they sell you are
good or worthless. The undersigned
