Certainly not such fools and
frauds as ye Democrats would try
and make believe they are, neighbor.
THERE is going to be, soon, a
grand two.days' shoot at Darlington
time not set yet. 1000 birds are
now being provided. Our best shots
should get ready and 60 down. We
don't doubt but what the'd capture
their share.
DUDES are now devoting consid-
erable time in making collections of
hairpins that have seen service on
the heads of ladies. Every pin is
carefully labelled with the name of
the wearer. A great stress on their
massive minds.
THE Zinc Works will probably be
shut down all this week for repairs
1t can't be claimed that good luck
follows this enterprise thus far The
TRIBUNE much regrets them, and is
anxious for an opportunity to chron-
icle the last drawback.
THE entertainment by Smiths
Double Uncle Toms Cabin com
pauy in this city the past week was
witnessed by as large crowd as
the Opera House could accommo-
date. Some expressed satisfaction,
but a majority seemed somewhat
disappointed.
Now THAT the oyster season
has once more arrived it be-
hooves us all to take in a view of
the lucious bivalves, and to rejoice
that the increased >and improved
means of transportation renders it
possible to get them in fresh and
wholesome shape.
NOTICE All parties knowing
themselves indebted to the late
butchering firm of Lanyon Dc Dave,
will please call at the store Of Mr..
Dave and settle at their earliest con
venience. 4lw4

by a good market, remember.
THERE must have been hot field
of racers at Boscobel, as Burglar
could win neither the half mile nor
the mile run. An Iowa horse named
Nate Doxie took first in the former,
and Alice Murphy from Illinois, the
latter, her weight being only 7l3
pounds.

A MAGNIFICENT and convenient
washstand has been added to Ap-
pel's tonsorial parlor this week, and
besides a commodious and neat mug
rack. These additions together
with the improvements made a short
time ago, insure its being the most
inviting shop in this section. So
much for "Ader's" industry and en-
terprise.

In consequence of the reduction
in letter postage, salaries of post
masters of all the leading cities and
villages III this state have been af-
fected, some being increased and
others decreased, with the majority
in favor of the latter. The increase
confines itself generally to the
northern part of the state and the
decrease to the southern. Postmas-
ter Allen is cut 5000 and nearly all
offices in this section are brought
down in amounts from 500 to $500.

IN its last issue the Darlington
Democrat had the cool and auda-
cious declaration that "a marked re-
duction in the Republican majority
in Minnesota is expected which
would have a strong moral effect
throughout the northwest" This is
a bold claim in which every intelli-
gent person can detect fallacy with
a view to mis-lead the newcomers
into that state from foreign shores,
who have rot been in this country
long enough to become posted on
the political chicanery Of the inn
moral Democrats. Might just as
well claim that the devil at the
head of band Of angels would inn
prove their morality.

A Curious Fall.

- At Minneapolis, recently, two men,
Campbell and Sullivan, were at work
on the electric light mast, when the
rope holding the 600 pound balance
weight slipped. They both had
hold of the rope, fifteen feet from
the ground, and as it began to 90 up
Campbell let go and fell the fifteen
feet, while Sullivan held on and was
whiskcd, in the twinkling of an eye,
to the top, 275 feet, where he reach
ed for wire cable and slipped un-
harmed to the ground. A curious
feature of the operation was. that
when Campbell struck the ground
he looked NV and saw Sullivan at
the top reaching for the wire by
which he descended, showing that
Campbell was just as long in falling
his fifteen feet as Sullivan vas going
up 260.-Detroit Post.
