1t is generally understood that L. A. Ia
Dor will be the democratic candidate for pros
ecutng attorney of this county the increase
of salary by the board of supervisors having
removed his objections to being tie nominee.
The increase has also given several lawyers
of republican persuasion strong desire to
serve their couutry-AdCdtcc.
One of our subscribers who attended the
Fourth of July Celebration at Edwardsburg
says that four wagon loads of beer were dis
posed OF the day before the Fourth: and that
the cellar of neatly every business house in

the nectar. None was sold however each

The Detr0it hHlce Press has commenced
early in the season to express dts fear that
the republican prohibitionists may be
wheedled into standing by the parry on one
pretense or another III the coming canvass
What really ails The organ is its fear that
enough of them won't commit political hari-

tia long time since we have had a real
good snake story to tell, but we have one
now worthy the first rank. Last Saturday
night being quite warm, Jay King, living on
the north side, spread blanket on the.fioor
of his sitting room, and with his head resting
near table, went to sleep. On awaking in
the morning he was surprised to see a large
black coil on the table, and upon investipa
ton found it to be a blacksnake, measuring
over three feet in length. The way he va
Gated that room and procared a club was a
caution to lazy folks. HIS snakeship was
quickly dispatched but how he succeeded in
getting in toe room and climbing on the
table is a naystery and Mr.. King still shud-
ders as he thinks that he probably had
most undesirable bed-felloS part of the
night.-AHes&z journal.
AL Streeter iS.on trial to-day FRIDAY be-
fore Justice Newnham, for seIkng intoxcat-
ing liquor without having paid the tax.
Streeter has kept a hard-cider hole several
years and place of low resort besides.
There is another place of the kind near the
Lake Shore depot that needs attention. At
ter these dens are suppressed the officials
may well turn their attention to violations of
law by the saloons that have paid the tax
We believe that If Marshal Van ralkenburQ
would half try he could secure several con
victions. He would do well, too. should he
declare war against the gamblers. Perhaps
not everyone knows it, but our little town
has nest of criminals of thu sort who take
but slight pains to conceal their operations
Streeter was convicted and fined $50 and
costs or thirty days in iail.-AHegoa Gssotte.
