The Reaper and the Flowers.


There is a Reaper, whose name is Death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at n breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall havo nought that Is fair2" saith he;
"Have nought but the bearded grain?
Though the breath OF those flowers IL sweet L
me,
/ VIII give them Gil bacK again"
He gazed at tho flowers with fearful eyes;
He kissed their dropping leaves:
1t was for the Lord OF Paradise
He bound them In his shoaves.
"My Lord has need OF these flowerets gay,"
The Reaper said, and smiled,
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once child.
'They shall all bloom in fields Of light,
Transplanted by my care.
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear
And the mother gave, IN tears and pain,
The flowers che most did love;
She knew she should find them oil again
In the fields of light above.
o, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.

A GRur of Crooks.

The police have been notified and are on
the lookout for a gang of Crooks from
Philadelphia, who propose working this
city with what is known as the Badger
game" They have brought with them
well-knoMn courtesan from New York
who will play the roll Of female 'leader."
The game is an old one and is worked as
follows: An apparently innocent maiden,
with shy and coy manners is met on the
street by an elderly gentleman
of means They hirt. He follows her.
They meet, and after some per-
suasion she agrees to accompany him
to house of evil repute. Her 'spotters,"
who are on the alert, follow the pair, and
after they have entered the private apart
ment and disrobed, one of the ''spotters,"
who claims to be the woman's husband,
knocks at the door and demands admit
tance. The female tremblingly opens the
door and the alleged indignant husband
enters and finds them dishabille. He be-
comes very angry, threatens to kill the
destroyer of his happiness" etc. A scene
and publicity are inevitable, when the vic
tim proposes to compromise by paying ran
som, which is hesitatingly accepted
and he is allowed to depart. The
Citizens Committee are informed that the
female and one man are already here, and
that others are expected. The woman is an
expert in her line, having played the
badger game" in New York for some time.
Moral: Old grayheaded mashers should
not "ketch on )" it is dangerous at this
stage.

A Question of Information.

The only time Sam Cox was ever
souelched, not counting the sshoo fly"
of Ben Butler, was when Owen Love
Joy, of Illinois, did it in 1862. Mr.
Cox had been making long and ex-
haustiye speech in the House on the
tariff: The members were all tired. In
the middle of the speech the solemn
form of Mr.. Lovejoy arose, got the
eye Of the Spearer, and said:
"AIr. Speaker

the Speaker.

Loveioy, SO question of privilege. "
"Does the gentleman from New

Speaker, addressing Mr. Cox.

nation and not otherwise" said Mr..
Cox.

The Whisky Element Land Low
The Better Class of the People
orious-A Town Hall
To be Erected.
A GOOD DAYS WORK.

Last Tuesday, the day set apart for
holding our annual spring election,
dawned bright and clear, prestaging a
victory for the pure in heart" While
no great noise has been made, much
hard work has been done during the
past two or three weeks, and especially
so by the now defeated party. While
the whisky question was not before the
people IN the usual form, it was before
them all the same 1t was a question
as to whether the town and county
should be governed by the whisky or
saloon element, or by the temperate
and law and order element. Mr.. p.
IL. Haggerty was the captain, 50 to
speak, of what was for convenience
sake termed the whisky forces, and
MIR. James Bardon was the man chos-
EN- by common consent to lead the
opposing forces. 1t was generally
conceded that both parties had chosen
their "best man" for the contest, and
no effort was made to get third man
to run, for all saw that the conflict
must come sooner or later, and it was
decided to have it out now. 1t is not
necessary to recount the devices resort
ed to by the whisky element to carry
the day. They invaded the church
and got a candidate there, to give
their ticket Il little responsibility, and
all the other devices practiced by that
element in such contests, and com
menced the decisive battle on Tuesday
morning full of confidence in sweep
ing victory.
But it took only few moments to
convince them that they had shrewd
generals to contend against, as they
were completely routed in the first
skirmish, when the Bardon forces
without firing a gun, took possession
of the ballot box, by organizing the
Board, in the election Of Messrs. II.
Hayes, Jas. Richie and Jas. Newton,
with Messrs. Gray and Webb for
Clerks. The whisky men did not fully
realize this defeat until some illegal
voters were brought up, and had their
votes rejected because they would not
swear them in. About twenty of this
class were rejected before noon. The
conflict ragged throughout the day;
first victory seeming to perch upon
Mr.. Haggerty's banner, and then
lighting on that of Mr. Bardon, and
when the polls closed both sides claim
ed the victory.
There were thirty-four candidates in
the field for the various positions, and
a worse lot of mixed tickets was never
spread out before canyasing board,
and it was not until four o'clock in
morning that they completed the
count. But there being but two can
didates for the head of the tickets, it
was known before that hour that Mr.
Bardon was elected, although the ac-
tual vote was not known by many till
morning.
The question of levying tax of
$1,000 for the erection of town hall
was carried unanimously and such tax
will be extended on the rolls of the
present year.
The vote given below will show it
the largest polled here for maay years.

a law passed the legislature last
Monday giving to Superior all the
rights and privileges of an organized
village, the Board of Commissioners
haying all she powers that would be
conferred on a board of village coun-
cilmen. This is az excellent arrange
ment, and while we do not know who
the wise father of the measure is, we
rather think we are indebted to our
popular Chairman, Mr. Bardon, for the
enactment Of thl law We will pub
fish the law in full as soon as we can
get copy Of it.

should have been, for it is an instltu-
ton much needed. Ten thousand
dollars was voted for roads and
bridges; $1,000 for the poor, $500 for
wells, and $500 for miscellaneous
purposes, making total of $1,000
for current expenses. The appropria-
ton of $500 for wells seems very small
and it is, but it is the limit allowed by
law, and it cannot be overcome until
we organize as a city or village.
