urday evening, April 10, 1886, at

THE boys of to-day who are going
to rule in the next generation are
those who get to the bottom of
things, those who don't take things
for granted, and those who keep
their answer inside the truth. The
boy who steals his examination pa
pers will steal his employers money
some day. The man is generally
certain to end where he begins.
MISS. KELLOGG, the president Of
the Women's Christian Temperance

THE city council has been testing
and considering the question of
street lamps this week. 1t is about
time to attend to this matter. Every
other town of any Importance in
this region has street lamps, and any
man who objects to this outlay Of
money ought to be compelled to

all the damages caused by dark
sidewalks and crossings, No city
in Wisconsin needs them more for
none is more hilly. Get them quick.

have failed to find them. 1t was no
wonder that, though the mud was
bottomless, the crossings awful, etc,
etc, etc, they had several hundreds
out to hear Mr.. Clough's lecture last
Wednesday night. Such great
hearted brotherliness alwa Us wins.
WITu last Friday closed the Win
ter term of tn Plumb Grove school,
taught by Mrs Annie Bennett, and
in the evening the scholars gave an
exhibition at the school house. 1t
proved one of the most complete
and meritorious ever given at the
Grove. The accumulation of the
building was severely tested-so
full that the proverbial one more
could not find room. The success
of the school under Mrs. BIS super
vision has been very apparent, and
the school board readily recognize
the fact
"TnE world does move" It is
said that the first liquor law ever
