of Princeton and practiced law for Is years
prior to 1881, when he was appointed attor-

man as can be found in the country, a perfect
Apollo in form, over six feet in height, with
black eyes, and hair a little thin on the top
Of his head. He is a fluent speaker, with an
easy and pleasant manner. He was APP
pointed attorney general in 1879 for five
years by Gov Hall and was reappointed by
Gov. StOckIey last fall for another term of
five years. That is the only office he has
ever held.

4 Late Leg Drive.

EAU CLAIRE, March 6-All of the
lumbermen in this section predict an
unusually late log drive this spring,
basing their assertions on the deep

thick ice, which is well protected
from rapid thaw by the heavy cover
ing of snow. The thickness Of the ice
on the ponds astonishes the old river

FEtz John Porter.

Senator Spooner says that after a
most thorough investigation and re-
view of all the evidence taken in the
case, he cannot vote to create a new
military office for the benefit Of Fitz
John Porter. 1t is quite evident that
Porter will not be restored to the
army. This, to some may seem hard,
but does not good militay discipline
demand il? 1t also seemed hard, nav,
cruel, to shoot the poor, tired, almost
fainting sentinel who allowed himself
to be overcome by fatigue and went TO
sleep on his post of duty, yet this has
been done ON many occasions, and
while the people shuddered at the
thought, yet no protest is offered be-
cause extreme measures in such cases
are necessary to the success of arms
and the safety of the thousands of lives
over which the sentry was keeping
guard. What shall we we say then in
favor Of a general Of that army, who III
open day and wide awake disobeys the
orders Of his superiors before the en-
envy thus endangering not only the
lives Of the men under his own imme-
date command, but of many others
also? fit is right and necessary to
punish the private, we can see no valid
reason for excusing q general.

Lamar Should be BANDED.

Devils LAKE, Oak, March 10
Word has reached here that Secretary
Lamar reverses Sparks decision in
the Brittin case. Brittin made a pre-
emption near this city over two years
ago, and the proof was accepted ana
land paid for at the land Office here.
Brittin had a hundred acres under
cultivation. 4 year ago Brittin took
a homestead entry upon which he also
made proof and paid Communication
fee $500 according TO law. When
Sparks come into the office he decided
that every man having exercised the
presumption right could not commute
a homestead. This decision affected
thousands of settlers in the Northwest.
Brittin's case was the first one taken
on appeal to the secretary. His de-
cision reversing Sparks viii be vel

The state of New Hampshire has
a law which has forced nearly all in
surance companies to stop taking risks
in The state. Now that this system
has been in operation about a year,
a report has been made by the proper
authority which shows that the losses
by fire have fallen off III the above
period sixty per cent. This rather
surprising statement is fortified by
authentic and seemingly unimpeach-
able figures. The conclusion seems t.
be irresistible that the withdraw Of
insurance, and consequent greater
watchfulness and care OF all people to
guard their premises against fire is the
cause OF the greatest security shown
to have been enjoyed under the new
order Of things. Il shows that as q
rule, fires are the result Of carelessness
Of one kind or another.

1t subsequently transpired that the object
in view in bringing the lumber there was
not to increase the lady's chances of mar
riage by adding TO her worldly possessions.

courtesy, and glancing coquettishly along
the barrel of Winchester rifle informed
the knights of the saw that if they

to add that the gentlemen drove away.
The lumber disappeared within thirty
days, and the lady is still in possession of

The Need Of Free Air in HOUSES

The best prescription that doctors have

take it) is to live out of doors. Why is
this? Why is life out of doors proverb

Why is it that a superior vitality, and

" distinguish jewellers in the open air, by

ature, indispensable as these are for the

must admit that among the native and
settled inhabitants of the open air high
health is the rule in warm climates as well
as in cold, and with the very LATEST mortals
that bask in the sun or loaf in the woods.
The fact is that simple yegetative health
seems to be nearly independent of all other

seems to thrive as spontaneously as plants,
by the free grace of air, earth and sun. On

and, generally speaking, the inhabitants of
the free air contract colds only by exposure
to confined exhalations from their own or
other bodies within the walls of houses.
The explanation of this is plain and SIM
pie. Carbonic acid detained within four
walls accumulates in place of the breath of
life-oxygen-and narcotics the excretory
function of the skin. The moment that this
great and continual vent of waste and i'm
purity from the system is DISTRACTED, in

ton. All hands, so to speak, are strained
to extra duty to discharge the noxious ac-
emulation. The lungs labor to discharge
the load thrown back upon them, with
FASTENED respiration, increased combustion
and feyerish heat The pores of the mucous
membrane in the nose. throat, alimentary
canal, or bronchial passages, are forced by
an aggravated discharge, or catarrh, and
this congestive and inflammatory pressure
is a fever also. There is nothing of cold"
about it except as an auxiliary and antece-
dent, in cases where an external chill has
