Election Notes.

The ticket makers were busy all day
trying to influence the weak-minded to
vote the mongrel tickets which they
peddled out from the street corners.
Occasionally they would get hold of
some man upon whom they had counted
confidently, who would not tumble to
their racket without some argument,
and then the way in which these re-
formers would take the arm of this pre-
sumptuous individual who dared believe
in letting the conventions make the
ticket, and walk him down some side
street and whisper machine in his ear,
was truly touching. The spectacle be-
came all the more sublime when the re-
luctant voter CHANGED to be an old grey
headed man, who was receiving instruc-
ton how TO vote from some STRIPPING of
about five years political experience.
The consistency of these young re-
formers is only equalled by that of some
prohibitionists. who scratched their own
nominee for sheriff-or let somebody
else do it for them-and voted for the
Democratic nominee. Others did the
same thing for Assemblyman, which was
perhaps less absurd, but no less incon-
sistant

The Chairman Losses.

The appraisers appointed to ascertain
the loss by Chapman fire in Milwau-
kee, have nearly concluded their work
regarding the recovered stock, and the
examination of the firms books. They
left for Chicago Friday, to consult with
the general agents of several of the in
terested insurance companies. and will
return on Wednesday to finish their Ia
bors. The total loss on stock will be in
the vicinity of S435,000, upon which
there was an insurance of 1920, 900.
The loss on the building and fixtures, it
is said, will exceed the insurance by
$4,000, which will make Mr.. Chap
mans loss, exclusive of insurance,
nearly 100000. The insurance men
are understood TO be figuring to replace
the building in the same condition as
it was before the fire, as they believe
that the foundation and some of the
walls now standing can be utilized, and
that the building can be replaced for
less than the insurance. Mr.. Chapman
is reported as willing to agree to this,
but to insure no delay, in case the in
surance companies should finally decide
not to rebuild. Mr. Mix, for him, is
receiving figures on the plans of the
building which he proposed to build
Orders were telegraphed to the East
yesterday for 100000 worth of new
goods, which will arrive next week. 1t
is proposed to open the new store one

Minona. Alma & Northern.

WINoNA, Mimi. Nov. 1.-Work on
the Winona, Alma and Northern rail
road is going forward steadily between
Winona and Prescott. Twelve contrac-
tors are at work between Winona and
the Chippewa river, and five between
the Chippewa and Prescott. They en-
ploy between 400 and 500 men and
probably 100 teams. The grading is
substantially finished between NNinona
and Alma, distance of twenty-fiv
miles. At Fountain City there is some
heavy work, which it will probably take
well into next summer to complete, pro-
badly as late as July. There is another
piece of work opposite Buffalo City that
cannot well be completed until next
June. Most of the grading is done be-
tween the Chippewa river and Stock
holm. The entire distance from Wi
mona to Prescott is seventy-eight miles.
There has been no great amount of
work done north of the Chippewa river
with the exception of that near Diamond
Bluff. The piling is all driven between
Winona and Alma, and there are 35,-
600 ties on the line from Winona to
the Chippewa The line will cross the
Chippewa river about three miles above
the mouth. A long section of piling
will be required in crossing the bottom
lands in that vicinity

ALL Down ON THE NORTH ALLEY. -

robberies, so frequent of late, was in
formed by carpenter Williams, who
came in from Beetown at late hour
the other night, that he had seen u

lance back on the road, and Charley
rushed thither, his heart beating high
with thoughts of glory and reward. The
fire was found off the road in the brush,
and bending over it mans form.
Lying on the ground beside him was
q sack filled to the nozzle. Here it was,
sure! This was the theft; this was the
sack of purloined grub; this was his
chance Of glory; this was the winning
of the reward. A few long. agile leaps,
and Charley threw his arms tightly
about the robber. IS For Gods sake!
what's got me?' exclaimed the pinioned
man, and Charley's dream was over.
1t was only cold Barnes with sack
of field tobacco which had been given
him during the day.

Is TEACHING MARROW" ?-The edu-
Gators profession is sometimes so ac-
cused, but we think uniustly. Prof.
Swing in his recent lecture imputed
narrowncss to various vocations, but
wisely left teachers out of the imputa-
ton. The teacher, by his natural and
necessary sympathy with and for the
children and youth, is brought close TO
the great heart of mankind He is led
to charity for the mistakes and faults of
inexperience. He studies the frailties
and temptations as well as the virtues
and aspirations of human nature as no
one else does. He is constantly plan
ming for the future. and working for the
best in life for each one under his tut
ton. This attitude of mind develops
the broadest and most practical of all
philanthropy. The branches that he
teaches prepare for everyday life, a. d
he is thus brought into vital relations
with the industrial occupations in their
various forms. He is in hearty accord
with all the agencies for the advance
ment of humanity. and sympathizes
with all the struggles against poverty.
temptation, and adverse circumstances.
His studies and researches give him
breadth of thought, expand his mental
horizon, and, at the same time. deepen
his sympathy and quicken his con-
science. He cannot well confine himself
to certain lines os study, for all knowl-
edge is correlated; and no profession
demands more than his variety and
compreheDsiveness of information No
branch is beneath his notice, none too
high for his aspiration. Whether teach
ing the multiplication table, or lifting
his gaze to the mighty consultations of
the universe and looking through ma
ture up TO Natures Cod he is ever
expanding and developing, ever reach
ing after more culture, better character,
and broader views

WHERE THE Wool Is SHoRT.-A
certain lady in town was awakened
suddenly from her slumoers one night
last week by footsteps in the house.
Being too frightened to speak, or not
wishing to alarm the burglars, she tried
to awaken her slumbering spouse by
pulling his hair, but unfortunately the
capillary substance which adorns his
head by day does not vegetate upon the
summit of his Uranium to any great ex-
tent, and was, at the time, hanging on
the bed-post. She did not discover her
mistake until the burglars had made
good their escape.

About two-thirds of the students of
Room E. and one-third of Room T. now
intend to complete the High School
course. This is a larger proportion
than for several years past, and is an
encouraging sign. Nevertheless, we
hope to see the number of those who
are earnestly and resolutely DESTROYS of
accomplishing this work increased be-
fore the end of the year. Nothing can
be of much more value to a school or to
the students themselves, than such a
purpose in view and an earnest deter
mination to attain it.

GobbIing the Bachelors.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. A.. While
searching among the records of the Of
nee of the Secretary of State the other
day, the following petition was found,
bearing date 1888, addressed to the
Governor of South Carolina, and signed
by sixteen maidens of Charleston. The
petition ran thus:
1.-The Humble Petition of -AH the Maids
Whose Names are U1aderUrftten:
Whereas, we. the humble petition
ers, are at present in very melancholy
condition of mind, considering how all
the bachelors are blindly captured by
widows, and we are thereby neglected.
In consequence of this, our request is
that your Excellency will for the future
order that no widow presume TO marry
any young man till the maidens are
provided for, or else to pay each of
them fine for satisfaction of invading
our liberties, and likewise a fine to be
levied on all bachelors as shall be mar
ried to widows. The great disadvantage
1T is to US maidens is, that the widows,
by their forward carriage, do snap up
the young men and have the vanity to
think their merit beyond ours, which is
a great imposition to us, who ought to
have the preference. This is humbly
recommended to your Excellency's con-
sideration. And we poor maids, in
duty bound, will ever pray etc.
