newspapers would not complain, but
they are the first and most forward in
seeking free advertisement.
The new two cent postage stamps have
not yet been received by Postmaster
Humphrey for sale. The department
seemed to be determined to dispose OF
the old issue Of stamps before giving the
new a general circulation and conse-
qnently distributed the old ones among
the different postoffices to be disposed of
first. In some of the large cities there
appeared to be considerable of a desire
TO secure the new stamp and in Chicago
last Monday morning there was quite
rush at the pOstoffice, the crowd forming
in line and marching up to the stamp
window by turns and all were greatly
disappointed to have the old stamps
passed out to them. They carry a letter
to its destination just as well as the new
issue, If they are not quite so handsome.
A dose of vermlfuge would doubtless
help him. There has been no change of
school books, no grammar in use in the
schools has been thrown away. There
is no tax of 20 cents on every pupil stud
ying grammar. No scholar was com.
PEELED to buy Haryey's grammar. A
class was promoted from lower room.
Going into higher grammar class than
they had been in they had to purchase a
more advanced grammar. Prof. Suther-
land told them they could buy Swinton's
or Harvey's, but expressed a preference
for the latter and the pupils showed
their confidence in the superintendent
judgment by purchasing it. 1t inter-
feres with none of the other pupils nor
with the studies of the school.
A few weeks since farmer residing
short distance south of town got one
day ahead in his reckoning and thought
Saturday was Sunday and as the latter
was day of rest for him, as was his Gus
tom, he did not rise very early in the
morning. When he did get up he was
surprised to see couple of men he had
employed TO cut his peas, busy ut work.
This dissertation Of the Sabbath he did
not approve of and went out to where
they were at work and feptoved them in
strong terms for working OIL Sunday.
They listened to him patiently until he
was through and then remarked, point
ing to the saw mills busy at work, ut
may be Sunday but if it is the men at
work in those mills don't know it," The
farmer then discovered he was out a
half day of team work.
Tuesday night about half past ten
o'clock DR.. GerOw, while crossing Third
street bridge, returning from a visit to
a patient on the east side, heard cries
for help and Immediately proceeded to
investigate. As the yells came from be-
low the bridge he fastened down Water
street and proceeded to Nelson's dock in
the rear of the lower range light. Here
he found some person was under the
lock in the water. He secured piece
Of scantling and pushed it towards the
noise requesting the 'yells" to take hold
Of it but the only response was a louder
yelp. Nightwatchman Lyman put in an
appearance and the two went down to
the houses in the bank just below the
lock and secured lantern and boat.
they found man under the
lock. clinging to piece Of diff wood,
arms around It and making more noise
than an Opera singer. 1t was with diff
Guilty they succeeded in getting him to
release his hold and to hoist him into
the boat. He claimed some person
showed him off the bridge but as he was
pretty full of 40-rod it is thought that he
walked off the dock. They took him to
the Union hotel and found on his person
