What the Community Gains by the
LIQUOR Business

Let US pursue this further by means OF a cou-
pie of supposed instances, such as occur every
day. John Smith ha. been, during the week,
capable and industrious workman, earning
full wages every day. Saturday night he gets
his pay and goes TO the stores, where he falls in
with boon companions and spends his weeks
wages al the grog-shop, standing treat and
drinking himself until his money is gone. Late
at night he is put out into the street drunk, the
hquor-seller having got his money and being
ready TO close the shop. Result the first: The
hquor--eiler has received, say, twelve dollars,
Of which at least three quarters, or nine dol
lars, Is profit. Result the second: Smith is ar
rested and put into the lookup for the remain
der of the night; in the morning he is brought
before magistrate and fined one dollar and
costs amounting TO at least five dollars, and
usually more, for want of which he goes to jail
for ten days. Result the third: Smiths family
applies TO the overseers of the poor for assist
ance, and they, being unable to refuse, are like
ly to eXpend five or six dollars. Total results,
leaving out the moral deterioration of Smith
and his family, nine dollars profit TO the liquor
seller. costs of prosecution paid by the county,
Smith and his family supported at the expense
of the town and county for ten days, and
Smiths productive labor for ten days lost to the
community.
At the least calculation. in order that the
liquor seller may make his profit, the commun-
1ty has lost much more than an equal amount.
In this instance have supposed the iquor-buy-
er to spend full weeks wages, but the con-
trast is still greater If we suppose, as Is more
frequently the case, that the buyer has only
money sufficient to buy liquor enough to cause
his 1ntoxcation; that he is arrested and COM
mitted to Jail for non-payment of fine and costs.
The county then has the costs to pay. and the
liquor-selIer'. profit is only very small per-
centage of the expense he has caused the COM
,,v,t+ l. Ii
trade is injurious to the public, and we shall be
in fair way to drive him out Of the business
altogether, or to oblige him to exercise such
care in his management as TO deprive it of its
harm. [From Liquor Legislation" by Cor
ham D. Williams, in Popular Science Monthly

A French Dish.

Before these fields were shorn and TILED,
Full to the brim rivers flowed
The melody of waters liled
The fresh and bouniless wood.

The rivers, by the blackened shore,
With lessening currents run;

MARsHFIELD, Wis, Nov. 17.-With the
coming cold weather the interest in logging
and numbering operations assumes lively
aspect, and the present indications point to
an unusually large cutting the coming Win
ter season. Last winter, owing to the eX-
IRENE dizziness in price of all grades of lum-
Der and some bolts the cut was small and
wages very low. The old stock has been
all used up and many mills will be COM
PEELED to shut down earlier than usual for
want of logs in stock. Wages will be
higher than usual, $40 to S35 per month
and board being about the present figures
offered. The following is an approximate
estimate of the amount of logs that will be
banked within radius of ten miles from
this city during the coming winter:

DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. 17.-For some
time various insurance companies have been
worried with frequent requests from policy
holders. They finally began to search for
the cause. 1t was ascertained that agents
from the Phoenix Insurance company of
Brooklyn, n. Y, were going about the
country telling policy holders in state COM
panies that the state companies were bank
rupt and soliciting them to reinsure in their
company. They also stated that they were
acting by authority of the state auditor.
Complaints were made to State Auditor
Cattell, who Immediately arose in wrath to
full seven feet of stature and proposed to
capture the fellows and sweep the earth
with them. He summoned the attorney
general to ascertain his power and authority
in the premises and that functionary in
formed him he had no power to do any
thing; that he could not revoke the permit
of the company to do business in the state,
nor revoke the certificates of those ras-
cally agents. The only remedy was by in
dicment and conviction of the fellows
under section 4O73 of the code. 1t is
highly probable they will be brought up
with a short turn.

ways in which the old Republicans, who have

ing to kill the Evansville postotlice and how
the bitterness of the men. Many OF their
friends in surrounding towns are disguised
with their actions and are consuming them

find fault with Frank M. GlOssop, the new

think that Democrat should take their little
office away from them. Ole kron. the ex-

gushing affair. 1t is said at the time the office
was moved he would not lend helping hand
or let Mr.. Glossop have copy of his last re-
port to the department to look at, so that he
(Glossop) could get an idea how to make out
his first report. Mr.. Glossop has fixed his
office up in neat shape, has added number

friends(O across the way are trying to kill
his office he treats them the same as those
