THE Oshkosh Times publishes COM
munication from Green Bay relating to
Senator Hudd's ambition to succeed
Congressman Rankin. 1t contains hint
that Mr.. Hudd's ambition is fed on the
belief that Mr.. Rankin's i'll health will
prevent his again being a candidate.
This undoubtedly does injustice to Mr..
Hudd and nothing could be more fatal
to his prospects than to have the belief
gain circulation that he hopes to profit
by Mr.. Rankin's sickness. If anything
were needed to endear Mr.. Rankin to the
people of his district it is the gallant
fight he is making against disease to
which men are accustomed to yield with
out struggle, and the further fact that
he has through all maintained his cheer
fnllness, his energy and his courage.
Even now in his enfeebled condition he
gives as much attention to matters con-
corning bis district as any one of the
most physically vigorous congressman
in the country, and the friends who call
upon him do not seem to realize while
with him that he is an invalid so active
is his mind and entertaining his CONVEX
sation. He says be will be in Washing
ton at the opening of congress and if will
power is capable of accomplishing the
feat he will be there Ultimate recovery
in his case is rather predetermined but
the unimpaired vigor of his strong mind
and the indomitable pluck which will not
even concede rest to body weakened
by sickness, will prevent the people from
feeling there is vacancy IN the repre-
sentation from the Fifth district while
Mr.. Rankin has the power of thought.
There IS nothing which justifes specula-
ton as to his successor and to build
hopes upon his condition is the surest
means TO prevent their realization.

WE have received from George Stinson
& Co., of Portland. Maine, the we'll
known Art Publishers, a magnificent, full
length. steel engraving Of General Grant.
1t is after Anderson's celebrated photo
graph, which was made while the general
was still in full vigor, and represents him
in his sturdy, manly strength, as the peo-
pie wish to remember him. 1t is I'M
doubtedly, the best portrait ever made
of the general.

The Farmers Institute for Manitowoc
county is called for January IA and 10.
The uperintendent, VIII. Morrison and
Hon. Hiram Smith of Sheboygan will
have charge. Some of the leading farm
ers of this county will also prepare
papers on agricultural subjects.
Supt. Morrison has made arrangements
with Miss Hammond of the Milwaukee
Cooking School TO give illustrated
lectures on cooking. This is feature
which will commend the institution to
the ladies. Young girls are brought up
nova days quite largely without any
knowledge of cooking under the mis-
taken notion that knowledge of this
necessary art indicates plebeian taste.
Any thing which will popularize this
essential factor in woman's education
should receive popular support. Let
every one strive to make the coming
institute success,

THE CHURCH FAIR.

The Fair at Turner Opera House draws
immense crowds. The usual devices for
raising money for church purposes are
on hand and are quite productive. A
great many articles were rallied off
yesterday. The balloting for the candi-
dates for the gold headed cane has been
spirited and both the contestants seem
to have hosts of friends. Meals have
been served at the Hall since the opening
of the Fair, and everybody who attends
pronounces the whole thing complete
success. Those who have had the matter
in charge have worked industriously and
well and have reason to be satisfied.

HE great excitement at the st. Boni-
face church fair at the Turner Opera
House is the voting for the gold headed
cane. At the close of the polls last night
Mr.. Dan Bleser was ahead and his friends
feel confident that he will win, although
Mr.. Dryer and his friends follow close,
being only about 10 votes behind,
About $500 votes are already cast. To-
night decides the contest, and it ia
thought the voting will be very brisk, as
both candidates will have their friends
out in full force.

THE MURDER CASE.

Interest in the murder case among the
public has to great extent died out, but
the officers are still on the qui vive.-
Their efforts are directed toward finding
out the guilty party, not in seeking to
fasten the crime on any one unless the
proofs point that way, and any means
they employ to ascertain facts which will
lead to the discovery of the guilty party
are perfectly legitimate; not only that
but their duty requires that they should
use every means which may promise
success. The discovery of the guilty
party is the end and aim of all the work.
No innocent person is to suffer from a
full, complete and thorough Investigation
of the facts and in fact an innocent per
son suspected can only hope to be entire
ly exonerated by the efforts of the Off
GERS to place the guilt where it belongs.
1t is not the punishment of some one the
officers are looking for, but the punish
ment of the guilty party. No officer is
willing to convict any person on INSULT
cient testimony, but it is their duty to
find who committed the crime, if pos
sible, and when he is discovered, to pun
ish him. This is all they are trying to
do and in this they should be sustained
by every person.
A Milwaukee detective named Barry
has been at work on the casa for some
time. He enjoys some reputation as
shrewd detective, and before coming here,
had worked up case in Dodge county
which seemed to be beset with difficulties
and convicted his man. He was dis
guised as tramp and also assumed the
role OF land buyer. A reporter for The
Pilot ''got on" to the detective while he
was in the city and he admitted that he
''was looking things up" and had IN
earthed some important facts. Most of
what he divulged was already known to
the public, aud the others appear to be
wholly improbable. He left for Milwau
kee on Thursday and in an interview
with Sentinel reporter, gave the result
of his Investigations partially.

MILWAUKEE is this week the paradise
of old maids. They are on exhibition
there. Why old maids should draw or
be regarded as an attraction is something
extremely difficult to understand, but
then Milwaukee is a peculiar city. 1t
has always been thought that an old maid
had repellent powers, and that conven-
ton of them would almost depopulate
the place in which they met. The imagi-
nation experiences no difficulty in pic
turing an old maids convention. The
typical old maid is tall, angular and thin
with a vinegarish expression. She is
generally named Jerusha or Samantha,
or some biblical name and won't abate
one syllable or tolerate any curtailment;
if she has a nephew who staggers under
the name of Nicodemus she won't abbre-
viate. but her shrill voice chat is another
characteristic of the old maid) will give
due attention to every syllable in poor
little Nicodemus's name. The old maid
always has proper fear of the lord and
hates sinner. She likes the old tesla
ment and is anxious for the coming of
Judgment day. One can hardly imagine
that the old maid was at one time little
girl and had mother. But she has
grown, in many cases grown out of hu-
man sympathy and covers in the ashes
of life. But the old maid who does not
look upon this world as vale of tears,
who has welded herself to life of char
ity stands among the elect in this world,
but she is not to be found in conven-
ton.
