Cornelius Hazeltine, in company
with another man, was cutting wood
near his place south of town several
days ago, when they noticed a large
gray wolf skulking around, but having
no weapons but their axes they were
compelled to be content TO look at the
beast. Several times he circled around
the spot where the men were, each
drawing nearer, and finally he made a
jump at Cornelius, who instinctivelv
gave kick at the brute, who grabbed
his boot and shook it savagely, snarling
and growing. Cornelius's companion
ran up and hit the wolf with his AK and
it loosed its teeth for an instant, but
made another jump at Mr. Hazeltine
who. by this time had recovered some
what from his surprise. He raised his
AK quickly and as it fell the wolf came
down dead. Cornell received SO
bounty on its scalp. -Black Earth Id

How Watch Cases are Made.
This process of manufacture was invented

This process of manufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This Is the only match oase made
under Ibis process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
topopular prejudice against plated goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
james Boss' Gold Watch Case was nat
cheap go3d-washed or eiectro-plated article,
but was made Of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption Of every improvement
suggested, has made the james Boss' Gold
Hiatch Case the STANDARD. ~ ,...
In this watch case the parts : 0

The Christmas hunt produced thirty

and other small game. A deer was also
started, but no one was fortunate
enough to secure it.
Mr.. Charles Croft, who has been en-
gagged in settling up the affairs of the
Hutchinson estate for some time past,
has returned to his home near Tracy,
Minnesota.
As local news are scarce this week
we beg leave to digress from the usual
form and ask few questions on some
important points:
First-Political. Why is it when
there is an office to be filled as
gift by the people, that the most
brazen brawler of the lot usually gets
the plum, while others with twice the
ability and ten times the modesty, take
the back seat?
Second-Temperance. Why is it if
the saloon keepers business is as honor
able and legitimate as he tries to make
us believe it is, that man never yet fell
so low but what he was welcome at
their bar, if he but paid his way. And
that their constant presence at these
places would besmirch the character of
the purest woman in the land.
Third Religion. Why is it SO much
easier 50 to try to tear down a mans
faith and show HIM the absurdity of his
belief than it is to build up something
superior and more to be relied upon for
his guidance than the original.
Fourth-Justice. Why is it that JUS
tice is more sure to opertake and swiften
in its retributioD to the poor man who
steals few paltry dollars, than it is
to the heightened defaulter for thou
sandsp
Fifth, and last. Why is it that we
have spent our time writing up this
list of questions that may find pre-
mature grave in the EDITORS waste bas-
ket. You tell. GREEN.

Friday morning the Association
listened to stirring address by
Pres. L. W. Bickhell, of the National
Teachers Association, on the subject of
the coming National Association at
Madison, and the educational signs of
the times. After this, discussion of
'sThe High School as related to the
Teaching Force of the State" closed the
exercises. The papers were not of as
much practical value TO the average
teacher as those of some former meet
ings, but they were almost devoid of
the unreasonable and extravagant fault
finding that has so married the interest
and neutralIzed the benefit of former
associations. There is an influence
from such personal contact of teachers
that promotes professional spirit and
enthusiasm, and makes each one more
eager to do good work in his or her IA
vorite calling. Particularly in this way,
we believe that all who attended were
benefited and returned to their homes
with broader ideas of the Importance of
their profession. and the responsibility
deyolying upon them. Those whom we
noticed from Grant county were Sup't
Harper. Pres. McGregor and Professors
Nye and Hutton, of Platteville, Princi-

Dubuque the First of Iowa Cities.

Bradstreet's Commercial Agency has
issued their annual digest of the bust
ness of the country for the past year.
1t contains great deal of matter of in
terest to the public. From its pages
we are informed that Dubuque ranks
first among the cities of Iowa in popu-
lation and wealth. The population of
Des Moines is set down at $4,000, Bur-
lington at 1880, Davenport at 1854,
while Dubuque is credited with having
10000. We believe it will reach over
these figures. At any rate the fact is
indisputable that our city ranks first in
importance of any city in the state.
With the building of the new railroad
and the arrival of at least two more in
our midst next year we will leave all
other cities in the state far behind
