come down along the river bank. This, it
will be observed is the very line the city
and the Trust Property company wanted the
railroad company to occupy all along and
against which the latter has 80 long and 80
obstinately contended. But it is not yet
settled thing and there may be another
grand f1opin one direction or another be-
fore the matter is finally settled.
AS successful result of close applica-
tion to business, our readers are referred to
the large manufacturing establishment and
agency of Henry Brehan corner 4th and
Commercial. His business has grown stead
lily since he started and every year has seen
large additions to his buildings, machinery
and the number of men employed, in order
to meet the wants of his increasing trade.

Sheboygan Spring waters, Cincinnati Beer

Officer Mc'Tigue picked up a white
stranger yesterday afternoon, who was just
drunk enough to be obivious to what was
going on around him and to be made the
easy victim of any designing thief. The
man was even then being led along by
negro who would have been equal to mott
any act Of devltry. The officer drove the
negro off, and took the white man to police
headquarters where his money, amounting
to over $2O,whlch he had previously offered
voluntarily to the officer, was put in the
chiefs safe to be kept until the man should
have become sober enough to take care Of
himself. Had it been night, the man
would certainly have wandered into one of
the delectable dens in "Pinch' and there,
while his "gims" were "dou5ed" in
drunken sleep, his "boodle" would have
been "pinched and he would have came
forth swearing at rybody for not taking
care Of him and his pocket book while he
was enjoying" himself
The Argus is mistaken in its construc-
ton of the new postal law. The law does
not require the detention of mail at the Of
fee where it is mailed until the ENTIRE
POSTAGE" shall have been paid, either by
the sender or by the addressed This rule
holds good only with reference to mail
upon which less than one full rate, i. e. &c.,
has been paid, and which would, under the
old law, be sent to the dead letter Office
without notice either to the sender or adj
dressee Under the new law, instead of
sending such mail direct to the dead letter
office, the postmaster is required to notify
the sender if his card appears upon the en-
velope, or the addressee if such card does
not appear, that such letter or package is
"held for postage" But mail upon which
one full rate, that is &c., has been paid,
even though six or nine cents would be re-
CURED to pay it through to its destination,
will be forwarded Just as now and held at
the Office of its destination for the amount
of postage still due-just as now.
