A Deed of Darkness.

A few evenings since very pretty
young lady, residing at Trappe, Nd,
was complaining of the rheumatism in
her back, when her aunt suggested
that she should have it rubbed with
hartshorn hnimeat. The old lady
picked up the lamp and opened the
cupboard door to get the bottle, when
the light was accidently extinguished;
but, the bottle being peculiar shaped
one it was easily picked out in the
darkness from others. The young
lady said to her aunt, "neveY mind re-
lighting the lamp; just rub on the
stuff on the dark, and the hniment
was applied to the bare back After
a vigorous rubbing and much waste
of the liquid, the young lady sudden
ly said it did not have the odor pecu-
liar to hartshorn, and insisted on
lighting a match to see if it was not
the wrong bottle The lucifer was
struck, and a yell. followed, for, in
stead Of using hartshorn Hniment,
they discovered that it was the black
est kind of ink. The little boy OF
the household had brought it from
schonl that day in bottle similar to
the one liniment was in.-Star.

A Boys Prayer.

A lady residing in this village, the
mother of a bright little boy, was
talking to him the other night, just as
she was putting him to bed, about the
efficacy of prayer. and told him that
if he would ask God for anything that
he particularly desired, she had no
doubt his request would be granted.
The little fellow knelt at his mothers
knee and prayed God to send him
fifty little sisters and 100 little broth
ers. The prayer was never finished,
for the mother, aghast at the prospect
of having her house turned into an
orphan asylum, lifted the boy to his
feet and tucked him into bed without
moments unnecessary delay.-Aid-

CHARLES J ALDEN,


A RASCALLY Transaction
When the vote for Supervisor in the
Second Ward was announced elect
ion evening, as 100 for Edward Poz-
nauski and 139 for A. S. Stiles, a
great many people were surprised, as
the general impression seemed to be
that the latter would have majority
of two to one, and the vote caused
good many suvmises.
Finally, on Monday, in the presence
of the Mayor and City Clerk, the
votes were recoun ted (the ballot box
having remained in the hands of the
City Clerk and showed that instead
of receiving only 139 votes, Stiles
real number was $50, while his oppo-
nent only had so instead of 1870.
1t can hardly be called an error,
for one man called off the votes, while
the others tailed them, and the con-
cluSion is irresistab lie that deliberate
attempt was made to defraud one
party and defeat the will of the vot-
ers.
At the request of several citizens,
Mayor Bingham called a special meet
ing of the Council on Wednesday
evening to take action upon the mat
ter, and the subject was referred to a
committee consisting of Aldermen
Condit, Carroll and Lego, who will
investigate the facts and report the
same to the Council on Monday
evening.
Such crime as this ought to be
punished severely. 1t isn't a mere
question of helping one man and de-
teating another it is one that strikes
at the very foundation of government
and order If facts in this case prove
what is expected there is no knowing
how long it has been going on here.
Next week. the testimony on the
case will be all in, and then the peo-
will see whether such outrages are
to be tolerated.
The above is taken from the Chip
pewa Herald. As stated above, it
is an easy matter for the officer who
calls off the names to be tailed bv
the Clerks, to call the name of the one
whom he desires elected in place of
the one which really appears upon the
ticket. The tickets are hurridly
counted in most cases and not verified
except in the number. 1t remains to
be seen whether the above is a ease of
this kind or not.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.


From Stevens Point Journal
Last Thursday morning at about s
o'clock, as Patrick McHugh was en-
gagged in sweeping the side walk in
front of his saloon. he was shot in the
back by some unknown person who
had probably concealed himself in,
under or near the Curran House
Mchugh's saloon is on Main street.
almost directly opposite the main en-
trance to the hotel. When the shot
was fired his back was toward the street.
There were several persons in front of
the hotel at the time, and others in the
immediate vicinity, on the street.
Charlie johnson stood on the platform
at Mitchell's mill and happened to be
looking at McHugh when he heard
the report of the gun. He says it
made sharp report, and thinks the
shot was fired from a rife. Almost
simultaneously with the report. Nc
Hugh dropped his broom, reeled step
or two, and then recovering himself,
passed into the saloon. He went
through the saloon and cut the back
way to Clark street. Walking east on
Clark street, he met Marshal Bell
niger near the Wisconsin House, and
telling hin he had been shot, asked
him to get a doctor. The Marshal
accompanied him over on to Main
street, and McHugh decided to go to
Stevens Point Hospital, McHugh
walking all the way to the building
and up the stairs. At the hospital
the wound was examined and dressed
by DR.. Warehouse, when it was
found that the ball had entered the
body at the lower point of the left
shoulder blade, and passing through
on an almost direct line, came out at
the left nipple. He was placed upon
a cot, and seemed to suffer little or no
pain, though when he arrived at the
hospital he was bleeding internally and
splitting blood. His mother arrived
from Fond du Lac on the 3 o'clock
train. When getting ready to so he
dressed himself, and walked cut into
the Office. insisting on riding to the
depot in the hack but from this he
was dissuaded. By this time, how
ever, the reaction had commenced,
and in the last two hours he was in
the hospital his pulse rose from 90 to
100. The doctor says there is a
chance that he may live, but that it is
an exceedingly small one.
An examination Of the saloon build
ing shows that after passing through
his body, the ball struck the window
glass in the saloon front, which it also
passed through and striking the bar
glanced off on to the floor, where it
was picked up. McHugh now has it
In his possession. 1t is badly battered,
and in size is what is known as a A
oalibre, and is thought to have been
fired from a Winchester rife.
The wounded man was interviewed
at the hospital at about II O'clock.
He stated that when the shot was fired
his back was toward the street. and
that was all he knew about it, He
also said that during the night before
he had dream. in which the whole
transaction was pictured out to him.
That he thought of the dream when
sweeping the walk. but passed it off as
an idle fancy.
McAugh is man about 26 years OF
age. He came to Stevens Point about
q year ago, since which time he has
been engaged in keeping a saloon at
the location in front of which he was
shot.

interview with the Washington Cor
r respondent Of the Milwaukee Senti-
nal, comes out strong in favor Of Lu-
cius Fairchild of this state, for Presi-
dent, Mr. Guenther makes a clear and
pertinent claim for him:
I do believe that there is not an
other man in the United States who is
as avilable as he. Unlike the great
majority Of public men. he has had
a larger and more extensive public
career, and has come out of it in bet
ter shape, than any man [ know of.
With him as our candidate, we would
not be on the defensive. We could
challenge comparison with any man
the democrats have got, or for that
matter the republicans either. 1t
would be impossible to find in him
single bad point. He has never been
mixed up in any factional wars in the
party and would be acceptable to stall
warts and feather-heads alike. He
has never had anything to do with the
credit mobilier, SALARY grab or guano
conspiracy and his hands are free from
any stain Of official malieasance. His
record IN the war was simply superb
and that empty sleeve would talk more
and talk louder than dozen stump
orators. With him we would get
enthusiasm, and with the soldiers he
would be tavorite that would eclipse
Hancock. Edmunds would not do.
He is too frigid and too tolerant of
other peoples views to be popular
with the rank and file. Logan would
do better than Edmonds but he has
number of soft places in his political
makeup. Fairchild, in my opinion
meets the emergency. He is unex-
ceptionable in every respect and has
hosts of friends, but no enemies. His
capabilities can not be questioned. He
has been secretary of the state of
Wisconsin, governor three terms, con-
sul-general to Liverpool, consul to
Paris and minister to Spain. pre-
diet that he will show great strength
in the national convention.
