contents inferred in the cemetery,
which act was only known to the
sexton and a drayman until after
Perham's departure for his western
home, when copy of the Sioux
City Iowa) Journal conveyed the
news of the brutal act. 1t says:
rs. Perham arrived there from
Dakota, for the purpose of removing
the body of a former wife from the
Clarion Cemetery to Warren, Ill.,, in
accordance with promise made just
prior to her death, some seven years
since. Instead of procuring another
coffin, or even cheap box, in which
to place the body, Mr. Z. provided
a trunk, assigning as his reason for
so doing, shat by using trunk the
body can so as baggage and save
me the cost Of express charges "
On opening the grave the body was
found to be in good state of pres
eryation, and the men employed
urged Mr.. Perham to secure a coffin,
er box for placing it in. This he
refused to do and insisted that the
body must be placed in the trunk,
which was finally done, after unjoint-
ing it at the hips and knees, and the
next morning he procured ucket
for himself and had the trunk con
tanning his wife's remains checked
as baggage"

THE HALL.

The S. w. Wis. /. A. Fair is a
thing Of the past, an established
fact in the annual history of the
association. A fow observations
made, and noted, in the hall Of the
association, may not be uninterest-
ing to our readers. II is a rather
difficult matter to attempt producing,
and reducing ones impressions Of
all they have seen at great fair,
like this, to writing, SO that the dan
ger of becoming proliX and prosy,
is at all times imminent and difficult
of avoidance.
TO tell our readers that the of.
ficers of the association were every
way qualified to discharge the oner-
Gus duties Of their respective station,
to tell you, further, that public opin.
ion is unanimous in according to
them a full share of impartiality, as
Judges, managers and conductors Of
the business affairs of the assocla-
ton, is altogether too much to be
expected from such undertakings,
especially where so many competing
interests are at stake, and where
none are wholly exempt from the
faults and failings to which all pub
lie bodies are liable; neither is it
very wonderful that the public acts
of its officers should be criticised
and commented upon by such indi-
viduals as think themselves priyi-
legged to sit in judgment upon the
actions and motives of public officers.

FRED PHILIPS, manager Of the
central office of the telephone ex-

making connections with Platteyille,
Hazel Green, Galena and Dubuque
on Sunday for the first time. In
cases where he was well acquainted
with parties talking at these points
he could recognize them by the
voice. It was effected by connect
ing with the telegraph wires, which
has disadvantages not encountered
by a direct telephone line; bat it
goes to show the perfection Of the
wonderful invention, and that it's
worthy Of maintenance and encour-
agement.

MANY of our prominent citizens
are discussing which is best for pub,

coal certainly has its disadvantages
in the way of dust, both in the
rooms and AZ ound outside, making
the surroundings look dingy and
dirty; while hard coal may cost a
trife more it does away with these
unpleasant features to great extent.
Here's point touching health and
cleanliness that should, we deem, re-
ceive due consideration.

THE number and undisguised
character of gambling institutions
in operation during the fair in this
city was subject of general remark.
The money paid into the treasury of
the Association was of course drawn
from the pockets of foolish people
who patronized the sharpers. Per
haps those foolish people needed the
expensive lessons they received, and
perhaps they will thank the Associa-
ton for furnishing them these op-
portunities for learning.

fifteen people died at Guayamas, all of them OF

were for Mr.. Blaine could have been mere
matter of opinion without evidence. No man
could bo robbed of what did not belong to
him, but Mr.. Blaine, of Maine, speaks of an
effort to rob him of the Pennsylvania dele
gates yet to be elected as though they had
been some chattols of his. Tho republication
of this letter at this time in tho Washington
organ of Mr.. Blaine, copied from the Pitts
burg Dispatch, to which paper "a friend of
Mr. Blaine furnishes" IL, shows that
the friend" sees no "self-seeking" "
in it, no immodest bidding of him
self to feast, no taking the highest
seat in tho synagogue. But imagine the
torrent of denunciaton that would flow
from Mr.. Blaine's organs, If letter contain
ing such language written by any other of the
men voted for in the convention of 1876, could
be unearthed and published. The reason as
signed for publishing the letter now is that
some so-called religious journals have, in COM
menting upon the recent marriage of Mr..
Blaino's daughter with a Catholic, revived in q
very uncharitablo manner the story that he
was himself CathoEc. 1t is not easy to say
whether the letter will boom Mr.. Blaine
better with the Catholics or with the
Presbytcrians. AT all events, It is well enough
that it is out in time. To asprants it will
be invaluable as showing just how plainly a
candidate may claim proprietorship in un.
chosen delegates, express his own yoarnings
for the presidency, and assert tho yearnings
of four.ffths of the people of state by
guess, and all without offending the good
taste of those unprecedented chaps who
edit Mr.. Blaine's papers.
