IF Cleveland is elected Repubi-
cans should take encouragement
from the promise of better times
made by the Democrats.
EVERY fellow wearing new hat
should be spotted" for the treats,
as there's but little doubt but what
he won it on the election.
LAFAYETTE county elected the
entire Republican ticket with the
exception of one Assemblyman,
Charlie Priestley being the lucky
Democrat.
ANY person desirous Of going in
to the soda water or pop factory bus
mess can secure good apparatus
cheap by applying to Mrs. Samuel
Webb.
THE Stars figures last week on
the congressional vote were as near
the right as that paper usually gets.
Instead Of Jones getting the ZOO

LaFollette
The fact that Mr.. A. d. Prideaux
was one of the best qualified candi-
dates for School Supt. ever put forth
in Iowa county, his defeat reflects
on the Judgment of the voters of
the county.
A misunderstanding between JAS.
Lynch and Chas. McCabe one even
ing this week resulted in the latter
being stabbed twice in tne arm.
One cut is so close to the elbow joint
that there is possibility of the
arm remaining stiff for life.
WE give our readers, this week, a
very interesting letter from Berlin.
We have heard many speak highly
of those we have before given, and

MARRIED, at the residence of the
brides mother, Oct. 80, 1884, by
Rev. c. Dawson, Mr. John Il. Os-
borne and Miss E. A. Coad; all of
this city. The bride and groom re-
ceive the hearty congratulations of
the TRIBUNE, and hopes that they
may enjoy much happiness and pros
perity.
"HoRNETs this year are building
their nests on the ground" says an
oracle, "and hence we may conclude
that we will have a hard winter"
Says another: "The muskrats in all
the northern lakes are weeks later
than usual in building their winter
houses, from which we can calculate
on a late and mild winter" You
can take your choice, but it will be
just as well to lay in flannels and a
good supply of coal.
THE patience of our genial sta
tionery dealer, "Jot" Hanscom, in
whose store is the telephone head
quarters, has been severely taxed
by the masses hanging around and
"what's the latest, Jot?"
This query has been rung in his ears
almost every minute since the polls
closed, and a good-natured reply has
invariably been given. We but voice
the sentiment of all, regardless of
party, when we assert that to him
our thanks are due.

Strcaks Of Luck.

We have heard of man who had
$4,000 year left him because he was
civil to an inlirm old lady in church,
finding the hymns for her setting her
hassock, etc. He did not know her
name, but she took care to ascertain
his, and when she died he found that
she had bequeathed to him the bulk OF
her property '.as reward for his pa
tient kindness" A clergyman Of our
acquaintance obtained living of good
value from a baronet in Norfolk. for no
other reason than that he WIS the only
curate within ten miles round WHY had
not applied for it when it fell vacSut.
And another clergyman whom we know
got still better living for having re.
fused preferment offered to him under
circumstances derogatory to his dignity.
He was fair singer, and vulgar
plutocrat, who had invited him to din
ner, promised to give him living if
he would sing a comic song at dessert.
The quiet rebuke which the young
clergyman administered made the plu-
tocrat ashamed of himself. SO that the
next day he pro1ered the living with
letter of anology; but the living was
refused. the Clergyman stating that it
would be impossible for him to forget
the circumstances under which it was
first rendered. This was the more hon
orablc, rs the clergyman was very
badly off. Another patron, hearing
of what he had done, appointed him to
a benefice as testimony of his admir-
alton. We may conclude with the
story of man who was suddenly made
rich because Of his great stupidity.
He was the only dull man in q bright
wtted family, and going to dine with a
tools, he made so many silly remarks
that the old man cried in ,sxasperation:
Il must do something for you, for
you'll never do anything for yourself.
II don't make rich man OF you, you'll
become Laughing stock to the world
and d disgrace to your family. ~
