acting is too well known to require descrip-

scenes we're presented relapse into silence

company supporting Uncle Josh was, taken
as a whole, a strong one. The music gwen

SAD CASE OF DROWNING. Monday
evening last Mr. Richard Harvey, Of
the town Of Saratoga, left this city for
home about 5 o'clock. He went as
far as Port Edwards by rail and then
footed it the remaining one and one
half miles. When opposite his home
had boat in which to ferry across the
open stream. While in the act of
pushing off his boat he lost his foot
hold and capsizing the boat fell into
the river. He called for help and his
children responded but were unable to
assist him. He managed to get hold
of the boat and foated down the
stream several rods, but becoming
chilled he lost his hold and sank be-
low the surface and was drowned. The
river has been dragged but his body
has not as yet been found. Mr.. Har-
vey was a-well-to do farmer, He
leaves wife and large family of small
children to mourn his sad demise.
LATER-Mr. Harveys body was re-
covered Wednesday afternoon.

It is remarkable how Itch trouble
the REPORTER causes sstral Of the
other county papers. ley seem to
fear that the REPORTER vii in some
way get some Of the comfy printing
which is entirely out of asir control,
and so conceded by its ditors. But
that we have right 0 make the
County Board any propotion we may
deem proper cannot be dnied US, not
withstanding the ramings of the
'FTimes'' and "Ent,prise." The
editors of the "Times'' and "Enter-
prise" are both member Of the county
board aud in this they i've an advan-
tage ever US, particular so when only
a few members Of the bard vote on
questions which come bore it. The
"blue-vitrol' monstroity of the
Enterprise" is toe welknown for his
general rottenoslty, to ne a eompeti-
tor fair or equitable ever in official
position, and having a god mine in
Europe to draw cash frm to keep
him from starving, confines to mis-
represent the REPORTER henever he
finds an occasion. He s nothing
more nor less than what tie "Times'
called him-a c." andyoung men
should shun him as they 10 a viper.
No, Mr.. Times, we are not dying and
we congratulate you on citing your
list. We do not covet thelist at your
loss. Our proposition t. the board
was simply that the said dicers should
be asked to consider the aid preposi-
ton, not necessarily to accept at. We
concede the right of tn, clerk and
treasurer in the premises when the
said lists are within theircontrol, that
the board cannot order item legally.
But we hold that the Officers may let
such printing at lower rate than that
allowed by statute, should they see fit
to do so, There Is no compulsion on
the part Of the officers to pay 25 or
80 cents for work that another will do
full as well at half those prices. We
have done nothing unbecouing gentle
men thus far and will not, bat certainly
should be permitted to exercise our
rights. as American citizens, the right
Of petition. We have none but a
friendly feeling for humanity in its
multitudinous forms ant all we ask
is fair treatment when We deserve it.
Persons in public pssitiois should not
take advantage of their position for
private gain as did the editors of the
"Times" and "Enterprse' at the
last meeting of the Board. We do
not deny them their right as members
of the Board to vote as they please on
any and all questions, but would it not
be'in much better taste FIR those whe
are unprecedented in the matter aud
diginterested to- take the lead in such
questions. We are well aware of the
bargains made previous te the election
last fall and shall gracefully submit to
the inevitable. We have expected
this and do not complain, then why

represented and lied about We are

should be criticised, but ask that the

It will be remembered that the
County Board increased the salaries of
the county officers last November,
which was not done in accordance with
the statutes and therefore void. SEN
ator Webb introduced a bill in the leg
islature to legalize the County Boards 5
action and it passed, but on reaching
ing the Governor it was vetoed and
sent back, the legislature sustaining
the veto by a small majority. It
seems Chairman Hiles, considering the
increase of salaries steal, made Gov.
Rusk personal visit and prevailed en-
him to interpose his veto.

A BOOK upon beer has lately bean
published by Mr.. Ferdinand Reiber, a
native of Strasburg, under the title of
"Etudes Gambrinales - beer having
been invented, as tho story goes. by
Gambrinus, a legendary King.
Though the popularity of that beverage
on the Continent dates from but a
century back, it seems destined to con-
quer Europe, and to drive out wine
eventually. Mr.. Reibsr proves, by
eopious statistics, that it has already
invaded the South of France, and that
it is rapidly making its way in Italy.
The reason which he assigns for this
universal success is not little curious.
Beer, it seems, is the only liquor
which one can drink and enjoy while
smoking; 80 that it may be said to
follow in the wake of tobacco.
