Child as it was, a pleasant child;
and to the partial parent there are
traits of loneliness that no other eye

Providence that we should love our

them, and as we love the children OF
none beside. And ours was lovely

Bob Ford Acquitted.

PLATTsBURG. Mo Oct 26.-After
being out forty-one hours, the jury in
the case against Bob Ford for the
murder of Wood Hite, brought in a
verdict Of not guilty. The result
seemed to please the audience. The
prisoner displayed remarkable lack Of
intrest in the trial, and this with other
circumstances is convincing that he
had assurances of a pardon in case of
conviction. The fact that the verdict
was Immediately telegraphed to the
Governor confirms this view. There
is no doubt new that the attorneys OF
Ford and Frank James consummated
an agreement that none Of the james
family were to appear as witnesses
against Bob, and the Fords are to be
absent from Frank James trial. 1t
is known that citizen offered to
'.acquit or hang" for $1,000. The jury
stood two for murder in the second
degree and ten for acquittal. Several
Jurors assert thar if they could have
returned a verdict for manslaughter
they would have done II. Under the
judges charge they could DOT do this.

Score One for Our District Attorney.
The State Supreme Court rendered
decision on Tuesday of this week
which is of interest to the tax payers
of this county. Under an act Of the
Legislature of 1880, Dodge county
applied to 1.-The State Board of Super
vision to be relieved from the expense
of one Geo. Carr an insane person
confined in the Northern ASYLUM and
to have his past and future support
charged to Wood county. At the
hearing in June last Geo. j.. Williams
as District Attorney appeared for this
county and obtained an adjournment
for one month in order to obtain aft
davits to show that this Carr was
never a resident OF this cosnty. Not
withstanding the strong proof present
ed by Mr.. Williams at the final hearing
the Board rendered a decision against
Wood county. Believing that this
decision was contrary to law and
unjust to this county Mr. Williams
applied to the Supreme Court for re-
lief by writ of certiorari, and that
body has just rendered decision in
favor Of Wood county, reversing the
finding of the Board and sustaining in
all respects the position taken by Mr..
Williams.
By this victory the county is saved
an immediate payment of upwards of
$500, and yearly assessment of $500
so long as Carr might live.

W. II. Jones for Co. Clerk.

In recommending Mr. Jones to the
voters. The Gazette feels confident
that he is as well qualified to fill that
responsible position as any man in
Wood county Mr.. Jones is an ener-
getic young man. with good education,
and is a fine accountant, having kept
books for some of the largest firms in
this county. He commands the re-
spect of all who know him, is obiiging
courteous and honest. His election is
a foregone conclusion. At the request
of Mr.. Jones we will state that he has
made no promises whatever, reports
to the contrary notwithstanding The
only promise that he has made, and Of
which he need not be ashamed is,
that he would, in case of his election,
fulfill the duties of the office in the
interest of the people. AarshfeId
Gazette.
II is reported by S. L. Mason and
R. c. Lyons that Mr.. Jones was en-
dorsed by the Greenbackers in consid-
Grafton that he, if elected, would give
to the Enterprise what county printing
he could control as Comfy Clerk.
Now, this comes direct and is undoubt-
edly true. According to the above
facts the above quoted article taken
from the Marshfeld Gazette, makes
Mr.. Jones a liar or else the leaders Of
the greenback party have been most
basely deceived. IF Mr.. Jones has
not promised this to the greenback
organ, then it is high time for them
to open their eyes. If Mr.. Jones has
made these promises to the greenback
organ. then he certainly ought not to
receive so hearty support at the
hands of the democratic organ, The
truth of the matter is, so it appears,
that the greenbackers have had the
wool drawn over their eyes just a
little too thick, by the democratic
schemers. Rossier how Is it ? You
should have that all fixed up before it
is too late,

The Tribune contains little else than
Reporter! Reporter !! REPORTER u.
REPORTER II! Hardly 20 lines
being written without the Reporter
appearing. To most people it looks as
though the Reporter must be some
thing remarkable. to receive so much
notice from the county papers. One
thing is evident that they acknowlege
by their notices that what the RepOr-
ter publishes is truth. The Enterprise
is also always blowing about the Re
porter, and of late the Gazette is also
putting in its bill. 1t is a pleasure
to read their wasted shots. No paper
with good sense will fool away
time with sorehead writer's. The fact
that person cannot follow regular
business and make success of it, as
the persons writing and running the
Tribune, Enterprise and Gazette, is
enough to mark them as failures, and
to pay any of them any attention
would only be to lower the grade and
tone of our paper. The only serious
objection they hold against this paper
in fact is because the REPORTER has
been doing the county printing.

For County Treasurer we place the
name of Henry Kuntz on our ticket.
We do so conscientiously and consist
emily. We have long been acquainted
with Henry, he is one of our towns
men and has been a good citizen,
These reasons together with the fact
that Mr.. Pitts is out of the county.
and also that while claiming to be a
Republican he forced his nomination
by that party by announcing himself
as an independent candidate for the
office is sufficient for us to support our
townsman, Henry kuntz, for County
Treasurer He is a Democrat, but
all Democrats are not rascals.
The bove is taken from the Marsh
field Times which will explain itself.
It's slimpsy reason for support
Mr.. Kuntz for the important Office OF
County Treasurer when as compete Mt
man as Thos w Pitts is up for the
same position. We get it from good
authority that Mr.. Kuntz can't even
write iegible hand, neither can he
make out correct report as town
treasurer, say nothing of his running
third rate saloon in the town of
Marshfeld. When Wood County has
to step down so low to obtain what
some people call good candidate for
County Treasurer it's rather a sad
state of affairs. That Mr.. Kuntz will
get large share CT the German vote
we have no doubt. but we will be
much surprised if he gets the sutfrages
of so Intelligent voters outside OF
his immediate friends. The better
class of voters ought to rebuke such a
candidate with decided vote against
him SO that political parties would
learn to present better men to ELL off
ces of trust,

CONSUMPTION.

Consumption is often the result OF
not curing cough or cold at the prop
er time. People seldom realize their
mistake until they have fallen victims
to this terrible Disease, when it often
proves too late. Take advice and
when troubled with coughs, colds,
asthma, whooping cough, Group, infu-
enza, bronchitus, pains in the chest
and all Diseases of the Throat and
Lungs, use DIR. Bosanko's Cough and
Lung Syrup, an infallible remedy for
the above named disease. Ask your
druggist for it, price soc. Call for 10
cent sample bottle at E J. Woods.

The town of Richfeld is not in
debt SIS, 600 as stated by the mongrel
sheet. 1t is only $4,000 which was
voted by its free holders for the pur-
pose Of building two miles of road.
Any one familiar with this class of
work knows that it costs at least
$1,000 mile for making turnpike
road. This is charged against Mr..
Davis as being crime, by the mon
grei sheet. MIR. Davis advanced 5000
in cash from his private purse, to keep
the credit Of the town good, Mr.
W. H. Upham assisting also to large

The REPORTER has refrained frnr

The REPORTER has refrained from
raking over the records of any of the
candidates on the Greenback or Dem
ocratlc tickets because it does not be-
lieve in or does not approve of such
dirty work. No one doubts for a mo-
ment but every candidate up has some
enemies and perhaps more or less
faults, as we all have, none being per
feet. 1t is ridiculous for the Enter
prise, Gazette, Times or the mongrel
sheet to attempt to force down the
throats of the people that any candi-
date on the Republican ticket is in
anyway inferior to any candidate of
the opposition, or anything but straight
honest men. The REPORTER is sup
porting every candidate on the Re-
publican ticket. The REPORTER is
not two-faced paper; it does not
hope to be successful but by an up
right, honorable course. Every re-
publican in Wood county should do
the same. Stand up for their men.
Vote for them. Be honorable, honest,
and not do as many of the opposition
are doing, protesting to do one thing
and doing directly the opposite. The
mongrel sheet has been doing what it
thinks may injure Mr.. Davis, the
Republican candidate for County
Clerk, by circulating base falsehoods,
and sneering, etc. For the benefit oil
our readers we will give them a brief
history of Mr.. Davis, an old veteran
soldier.
j. G. Davis was born in New York
State in 1874 and while still a young
man moved to Iowa. He was miller
by trade, but owing to i'll health, after
the war, was obliged to leave his IA
vorite business. In 1862 he enlisted
as volunteer in the union army.
serving his country well until the
close of the war in 1866. From Iowa
he moved to Wisconsin, seven years
ago, locating in Grant county. After
remaining there three years, he moved
to Wood county, locating in the town
of Marshfeid, now changed to Rich
field There he purchased farm and
has succeeded very we'll. Mr.. Davis
is an American 80 years Of age, has q
wife and four children, bears a good
reputation and has good business
education. He is thoroughly a man
of the people, a straight republican
and an honest man. While in the
service of his country he received four
gun shot wounds on account of which
he draws a pension. Mr.. Davis is
chairman of his town and a member
of the county board. How silly and
disreputable it is for such papers IS
the Tribune to attempt to belittle a
man as worthy and competent as Mr..
Davis Old soldiers will not fail tc
rebuke this kind OF dishonest election
eering as followed by the mongrel
sheet.
