SLAPP is not bad name and there is
no good reason why a person of that
name should receive cruel and inhuman
treatment at the hands of man named
Rhode. But things are not always what
they should be and Mrs. Slapp of the
3rd ward made complaint before Judge
Smart that the partial closing of her eyes
was the work of Rhode. Rhode appear
ed on Tuesday and insisted that it was q
hand to hand encounter, and that he was
decidedly of the opinion he had received
the worst of the scrimmage. He was
fined and went away unhappy:

PROBABLY the style OF head gear worn
by women, the sky scraper, judging from
the nomenclature of the base ball ground,
had its origin in the hard hits of batters.
1t is the "child of Folly without father
bred" and is a fitting consort for bangs.
Harvard students should turn their at
tention for brief spell from Oscar Wilde
and parody the ''sky scrapers" just to
bring about reformation. 1t would be
far more sensible sport than hazino,

MATTHIAS J. JUNK of Centerville, got
himself into trouble by being too apt
with the pen. He acted IL the capacity
of pump agent and in one instance took
pay from farmer for pump sold. He
failed to give the money to his employer,
but forged note instead, making the
purchaser of the pump the payor.-
When the time came for the payment of
the note, its fraudulent character was
discovered, Junk was arrested and held
for trial by Judge Smart in the sum of
$500.

The primer style of literature is the
rage just now and is pretty effective
means of ridicule. The editor comes in
for his share and he is pictured as an i'm
pecunious cuss or Croesus just as the
fancy of the writer may run. We evolve
the following from our sinner conscious
ness as sample having truth rather
than imagery for its background:
Is this House? Yes, that is a House.

an Editor is? An Editor is Man who

TIE school commissioners of NewYork
are discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of adopt
rug rule to discharge all female teach
ers who marry. Generally there is no
necessity to discharge even if it be tho't
desirable to rid the schools of married
women, as they seldom remain in the
work. But it is q question whether
married woman having children of her
own and relieved of domestic affairs, is
not, as teacher, superior to unmarried
girls knowing but little OF these traits of
childhood which more but mother can
fully understand. Why does marriage
unfit a woman for dealing with children?
1t would seem to be an additional quail
iication. OF course maternity plays q
part and may be urged as an objection.
But there is in a married woman sobrie-
ty, balance and sweetness of disnosi
tlon which would more than comp...s.ate
for this objection.

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Doyle, of She

in this vicinity.
DR.. p. E Maggie, of Manitowoc, was
out here on vaccinating tour on Thurs
day last.
Every body gets valentines these days.
Even newspaper correspondents ere no.
exempted from this unenviable distino
ton.
Surprise parties are quite numerous al
present. The young folks are evidently
determined to make the most of the short
time to elapse before lent begins.
Some of the winter terms Of school
will soon close. This would not be bad
locality for female teachers to ''strike
for" who would consider themselves paid
for their trouble by the experience they
might gain. There are quite number
of schools around here that will employ
female teachers for the summer.
Mrs. John Carey, Mrs. John Hayes,
Mrs. Jere Daley and Miss Mary Cast,
have gone to Iowa on pleasure trip to
visit old friends.
Superintendent Nagle has been visit
ing schools out here during the greater
part of the past week. Mr.. Maggie is
taking lessons in pedestrianism and il
would appear enjoys the exercise.
The teachers meeting at Osman on
Saturday last was of rather peculiar
kind. In the forenoon some of the teach.
ers met deliberated and adjourned till
next winter we believe. In the afternoon
quite large number assembled and pro-
longed the session until $50 P. NJ, when
they likewise adjourned sine die. Among
other remarkable exercises was one which
is vu(garly known as test-words The COM
piler ought to get medal for the re-
search he has evidently made in all the
languages of modern Europe and also for
his knowledge of medical terms. In fact
they were such list of words as would
have sent Horace Greedy to his seat in
disgust and we hardly think that Solo
mon in 'all his glory" could spell one
side of them. The enthusiasm of the
older teachers has sunk to the level of
younger ones and consequently we can
hardly hope for any more meetings this
winter.
SATISFY YOURSELF OF THE FACT.
We do not insert this local for mere
blowing but assure you that we mean
what we say, that we sell now cheaper
than ever before. We buy all our goods
direct from factories and in such quaint
ties as to enable us to reach the large dis
count; and we say and can convince you
of the fact, that we can and do sell as
low as other merchants pay for their
goods that buy in Milwaukee and Chica-
go. We have bought several carloads of
doors, windows and blinds, and all those
wishing TO Dulld must not forget TO come
and look at our stock and ask for our
prices. We assure you it is astonishing,
and the same in paints, oils, brushes and
in fact every thing in the line of builders
materials. We are selling retail at regu-
lar wholesale prices. To give you an
idea that We can do this, is because we
are as large concern as there is in tie
state and we are selling wholesale, we
have three travelling men on the road who
sell in competition with Milwaukee and
Chicago firms, and we are giving our
friends and customers at home the benefit
of our buying so cheap. f23tf
