poor Indian agent on the Navajo resrva-

Atkins, with the incautious request that he
might be permitted to retain his position.
The yirtuous Atkins wrote back a curt note
saying The blanket you sent me shall

within one week after the receipt of this

stinging rebuke with another letter written

1t is not strange that the people of Bath
should express hostility in vigorous language
to Mr.. Dunn's free ship bill. The only in
dustry of any considerable magnitude which
fourishes in that city is the shipbuilding in
dustry 1t gives employment to large num-
Der of men and large amount of capital is
invested in it. If Mr.. Dunns bill should be-
come law all these men would be driven
out of employment, and all this capital
practically destroyed, for it is a well known
fact that American shipbuilders cannot COM
pete with British builders, largely because
of the high wages they are obliged to pay to
their mechanics. Free trade in ships means
the extinction of shipbuilding in this coun-
try. Yet with the full knowledge of this
fact before them the Democratic majority of
the House are supporting Mr.. Dunn's bill,
and probably will pass it when it CONES up
before them. Luckily at this juncture the
Senate is Republican and can be trusted to
defeat any scheme which like this contemp-
lates the surrender of an important indus
try into the hands of England.

Some time ago it was stated that the At
torney General of Ireland had decided that
the plan invented by the anti-rent campaign
ers of Ireland Of depositing per centage of
their rents with trustees, was legal, and that
the trustees could not be prosecuted for re-
ceiying it. In the case of the government
against Dillon, which was brought up for
hearing on Saturday, the Attorney General
declared that he had never given any such
opinion, and that he held that such plan
was illegal and subjected the men who took
part in it to prosecution. This decision,
taken in connection with Mr.. Gladstone's
letter declaring that he is opposed to the
anti-rent campaign, is likely to seriously in
terfere with the plans of the Irish leaders

The are good many signs which presage
breaking up of the Knights of Labor at no
distant day. Grand Master Powderly's Sc
cret circular levying an assessment of 25
cents on each member, small as the sum is,
has caused a good deal of dissatisfaction,
and the quarrels with the trades union are
having very bad effect upon the order.
The miners in the Shanokin region, who are
Knights of Labor, have refused to obey the
local assembly, in Chicago the Machinists
Assembly have severed their connection
with the Knights, and the Trades Union
convention at Columbus has just adjourned,
after giving direct slap to the knights by
electing Mr.. Gompers, of the Cigar Makers
union, one of the most persistent fighters
against Mr.. Powderlys order, its president.

Deati. of n Noted Character.

vicinity, is dead. He with his family
and other Indians, was ca ped on the

lie was in town last Friday as we'll
and happy as eyer. On Saturday
morning he went out to feed his horses
and dropped dead on the way. He
was troubled somewhat with heart DIS

what caused his sudden death. His
remains were brought here and then 10

IigEtOT W.. Wages.

The curse Of the workingman in this
country is the rum traffic. 1t is this
that robs him Of most Of his WAGES,
and in many cases It is in the tavern
that he spends much Of his spare time,
It may be feared that the two hours
proposed to be gained b. reducing the
hours of labor would be spent in the
same places and with them much more
OF the money would be spent. 1t will
| be remembered that all the Chicago
socialists were associated with the beer
saloons, either as owners or frequent
ers, and their places were the haunts
and rallYing places Of the rioters. Rum
sellers wax fat upon strikers and dis
turbances, and they form the only
class that would make a clear money
gain by cutting down the hours of
labor. These are hard things to say
but they are true and ought to be said
The money sqandered III this Internal
business last year would give us good
trade and workmen good wages right
along. It is not the tyranny Of en-
ployers that keeps men poor. 1t is
the rapacity and develish gr. cd Of the
liquor dealer The fact is demonst-
rable, not only that wages are much
higher here than any other countries,
but they are far higher here now than
than they ever were before and mean
time living is cheaper: The constant
tendency, moreover, is to still higher
wages Everything in this country
tends to improve the chances of the
laborer. If he falls behind in the
race, when he has health and strength
the fault is almost certainly his. Nc
organization can help him if he squan-
ders his money and plays the fool.
He will be beaten out Of sight by the
man who saves his earnings and obeys
the requirements of reason and sense.

Household EOies.

Save time and form good habit
by training your family to go TO he
table promptly. A family that comes
stringing along to meals as the inclin-
alton seizes them, without respect or
thought for the pleasure and conyen-
fence of the rest, Is in very bad way.
Don't throw slops down near the
house. They will speedily soak into
the soil around and underneath your
dwelling, and make it send forth dan
gerous exhaIations which will poi
son your family and make them
sick. Put not your trust in ce5s-pools,
however much they may be trapped
and patented Burn up all the rub
Dish you can, pile the rest with the
ashes at distance from the house and
have it frequently carried away; carry
the slops a good way Oft and pour
them on an open grassy spot Tor the
sun and wind to take care of.
Don't frighten children or allow
them to be frightened. Ii they are
naturally afraid of some particular
object or animal, keep them away
from it till they grow older and you
can reason away their doubts. Meyer
make the mistake of ridiculing them
and forcing an object Of fear before
their eyes ''to teach them better. 1t
is cruel and inhuman to do it, and
positively dangerous. Children have
repeatedly been frightened to death
by injudicious or thoughtless people.
Lovingly reason away their fears as
fast as you can, but let them be where
they feel perfectly safe while You talk
about it. Above all, never let them
hear frightful stories of ghosts and
things to catch them in the dari, or
or other imaginary terrors.
Do not permit yourself or Your chill
dren to sleep i'll any garment summer
or winter that has been worn during
the day time. Let all the day cloth
ing be hung up at night, each piece by
itself, 50 as to be thoroughly aired
and in the morning hang up the night
clothing for the same purpose. 1t is
very bad practice TO roll mp the
nightdress in the morning and put it
under the pillow. Let it air two Or
three hours at least. From the first
make nightiresses for your boys just
as much as for your girls, and insist on
their wearing them. y hen they grow
to be men they will not care to return
to the filthy habit perspiratlon-soak-
ed shirt, which has been worn in the
field or barn all day. If a cotton
nightdress is insufficient in winter
wear flannel one, to be sure and
have an entire change from day
clothes.

Concerning judicial Circuits.

The present judicial circuit here is
so large that there is but little chance
of having a civil case tried in two
years. The time allotted for the last
term il Chippewa county was mostly
taken up with criminal matters.
Hence, there is a good deal of dissatis-
faction-not with Judge Clough, for
everyone respects him, but he is over
worked.
That some remedy must be found
when the next legislature meets, is
certain The only question is, in what
shape shall it come?
Judge CIough now resides in Doug
las county. His district is composed
of the counties of Chippewa, Bayfield,,
Sawyer, Ashland, Burnett, Polk,
Washburn, Barron and Douglas. The
Judges in the adjoining circuits
Messrs. Webb and Bundy.-complain
Of too much work, and want some of
the counties taken off
A new circuit might be created with
the counties of Chippewa, Barron,
Sawyer, Washburn, Price and Taylor.
This would take the last two counties
from Judge Webb's circuit and taking
St. Croix from Judge Bundy and add
ing it to the 18th circuit, would leave
Judge Clough the counties of Douglas,
Ashland, Bayfield,, Washburn, Polk
and Burnett counties-thus relieving
the adjoining circuits and creating a
needed one.
Another plan would be to make a
circuit out of Eau Claire, Chippewa,
Taylor, Price and Baron-afording a
relief to Judges Clough, Webb and
Bundy.
One of the plans proposed is a new
circuit composed of Eau Claire, Clark,
Taylor. Price, Ashland, Sawyer and
Bayfeld-Ieaviug this circuit with
Chippewa, Barron, Washburn, Doug
las, Polk and Burnett This would
relieve Judge Clough OfAshland, Bay
sfeld and Sawyer counties; would re
duce Judge Newman's circuit by leay-
ing out Clark; would free Judge
Bundy from Eau Claire; and relieve
Judge Webb from Taylor and Price
counties.
There are doubtless other plans;
and as all the communities must be
consulted, it is well to consider the
subject early. That something must
be done, every one concedes.-Chip-
pewa Herald.

Districts.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 12.-No word of
cheer comes from the fire swept reg
ions. The agonizing prayer of the
homeless poor and those whose de-
struction is threatened by the furious
monster, is for rain. Smoke and Gin
ders fill the air. choke the breath
and blind the eye. The lurid flames
seem to reach to heaven, aud the
skies are red and dry and give no
promise nor ray of hope The re
ports from the various sections of the
beleagured district are like wall Of
dispair, and death and disaster and
hopeless fear read in every line. The
village of Spencer, save one small
business street, is swept away, aud the
pitiful sights and scenes among the
homeless parents and children Is heart
rending. The losses is very severe at
Spencer and foot up something like
125.000, with but little insurance.
A Green Bay dispatch says that later
reports show greater loss and suffering
than was at first thought. at least
twelve fatalities are known to have
occurred, and it is certald that many
more will be reoorted as soon as it is
possible to gain accurate information.
About Sparta the fire is spreading
with great rapidity, and the large
amounts ofproperty haYe already been
destroyed. The outlook is terrible,
and only q murcyful Providence can
save the section from almost complete
destruction.
