The Internal Revenue Office levies q
special tax Of S25 q year on retail liquor
dealers. Very few try to escape this ex.
else, because the penalties are heavy
There is, therefore, no better measure OF
the liquor traffic. Ten years ago there
were 200, GIG retailers, and now there are
1875, 869. In Maine there were 1854, and
now there are 1852. New Hampshire has
decreased from 1900 to 1928; Vermont,
from 684 to 526; Massachusetts, has in.
creased from 8,268 to 8,476; Connecticut,
from 2,7S4 TO 1857; Rhode Island, from
9O6 to LAO; New York had 40,874, and
now has but 81 ,001. Yet for the year just
passed the statistics show ar increase in
the traffic. The country has 1908 more
retail dealers, lao more rectiiers. 802 more
wholesalers, and seven more brewers.

To the Public.

P. Steler, of the Eureka Diamond Palace,
has received from San Francisco . much
larger stock Of goods than the present
business Of this town will justify him in
keeping, and in order to materially reduce
his stock he will, during the holidays, sell
his goods at cost prices. After the holt
days he has to make several large pay
ments, and he takee this method of raising
money. Before purchasing your goods
pay his store a visit. His stock is varied
and elegant. Give him a call and examine
his goods and prices. He desires to thank
the citizens of Eureka and vicinity for the
large share of patronage that has been be.
slowed on him, and asks for q continuance

Friday evening q jolly party Of young
ladies and gentlemen invaded what wa
formerly the brewery hall Of Joe Mendes,
and to the sound of fiddle and fife danced
until the wee hours Of morning. The

for the newly washed floor did not hurry
up and dry. But then what is this. Such

sociability is the object: Misses Tillie

shooting at bishop Creek.

Bodie Free Press: A pistol matinee oc-
Cured at Bishop Greek last Thursday, in
Hutching's saloon. A crowd Of jewellers
got into q wrangle, and during the melee
one Seth Kelly, formerly an employe OF
the Sacramento mine, fred q pistol ball
into James H. Richardson's neck. 1t IL
said that the shot was not intended for
Richardson, but that he received it in try
ing to save another man. The wound is
not considered dangerous, but as the bull
let penetrated the neck and barely grazed
the iuglar vein, it was probably as close q
call from the hereafter as ever a man got
in the world. Kelly was immediately ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Phillipay.

DEGENERACY OF LEGISLATIVE
TALENT.

Legislatures are no longer composed
of men of the best talent. There comes
a complaint from various states of the
degeneracy of legislative ability. Law
making has become slow and tire
some business, because of the inexpe-
rience or ignorance of those who are
elected to make laws. In the late leg
islature at Madison, in this state, there
were a few competent legislators, but
the large majority had no qualification
for the duties devolving upon them.
This accounts for the plumbers in the
laws which were enacted, and the con-
sequent embarrassment which ensued.
A like condition of things exists in the
present legislature of Illinois; the pa
pers of that state complain of the want
of talent in the legislature, causing
waste of time and expense. Even in
old Massachusetts there comes the
complaint that the average talent in
the legislature of that state has greatly
fallen off of late years. All this degen-
eracy comes from the modern practice
of selecting men for Office because of
their availability rather than their fit
ness. The question is asked, Scan the
run well?" IF that be an
swered in the Affirmative, then fitness
is of secondary Importance
AT least majority in every legisla-
tive body should have general knowl-
edge of parliamentary proceedings. A
body of men familiar with parliament
tary law can accomplish more in the
business of law-making in ore day
than body ignorant of the routine of
legislative action can in a week. It is
rue that men unacquainted with the |
rules and forms of proceeding may pos
Jess sound judgment, but without expe-
renee they are necessarily hindrances
o the progress of business.

EDUCATIONAL.
D. A. MAHONEY,
REGISTERS.


So far as we are aware, the only
school register ever approved by the
State Superintendent is =" Lunn's Wis
consin School Register" It is the best
register in use, and if properly kept it
is an important help to teachers in
finding out the standing of the several
pupils or classes. Several schools of
the county are provided with Lunn's
Register, but in not more than one-half
of such schools is it properly kept. In
many schools the teachers only enter
the names and ages of IT, e pupils, and
wholly neglect the other and more i'm
portant parts of the plan. Now, if
nothing more than this is done, any
twenty-five cent register, or, for that
matter, sheet of legal cap paper is
just as good us the best register. We
wonder If these teachers ever stop to
think that they cannot draw cent Of
pay for teaching unless their registers
are properly filled out? We would adj
wise district clerks to buy Lunn's re-
gisters, and let no one persuade you to
buy any other. They can be bought at
the bookstores, or of David Atwood,
Madison. Tell your teachers that the
register must be properly kept On
the last day of each term examine the
register, and if it has not been properly
kept, refuse to draw the final order for
the teachers wages until the register is
properly filled out.
To teachers we will say. keep the
register according to the plan. or ex-
pect to have trouble about getting your
pay. Be sure to fill out the last column,
telling the teachers who follow you
where the class shall commence the
next term. Do just as you would like
to have teacher do by you.

SOWING WILD OATS

1t is frequently complacently re.
marked Of hayward young men from
sixteen to twenty years of age, "they
are sowing their wild oats" This silly
apology for the recklessness of young
persons seems to satisfy many father
that his unruly son will in due time
come out all right. after being sur
feited with folly and wrong-dolng.
Such a plea for wild and thoughtless
boys has not a shadow of reason; it is
not based on sound philosophy, good
sense or the results of practical expe-
rience. Besides, it is contrary to the
of that Book which most
people respect. and which declares.
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he reap; he that soweth to the desh
hall of the flesh reap corruption" It.
S popular delusion that it is well
'nough for Young men to SOW their
Wild oats in order to lay the foundation
f successful career in life. The gen
raj experience of the world shows
