A very pleasant surprise party took
place at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. B. Cotey last Saturday evening, in
honor of the birthday of A. B.; and
was participated in by large number
Of his friends. Mr. Cotey was up town,
and when he returned he found his
home taken possession of by about
forty guests. He had scarcely recover
ed from his surprise when the cornet
band struck up familiar march. The
evening was passed in social conversa-
ton ard games Refreshments were
served by the fair hostess, to which all
did ample justice. The host was in
receipt of several beautiful presents
When the hour Of departure arrived,
all went away voting the party a grand
success.
The Reporter and Enterprise have
manifested a spirit of sourness for the
past few weeks, which the events of
the occasion have hardly called for
Their criticism Of persons and things,
come with bad grace from so notorious
a source. The people Of this section
had expected greater degree of fair
ness from the Reporter, at least. Of
course, nothing else can be expected
from the fossiled Enterprise; but, then,
nobody pays any attention to what it
says, anyway.

We were an unwilling witness on
Monday last, in a case which viewed
from our standpoint is very sad one
The inmates and keeper of the house of
questionable character in our sister city
were arrested Oh Sunday last, charged
with certain crime Their examina-
ton was held before Justice Gets and
they were all found guilty of the
charges. Six of them were disch rged
conditioned that they would leave
these parts on the first train-to which
theyagreed. The keeper was bound over
to the Circuit Court In the sum of 5000
Not being able to furnish bonds she was
committed to the county Jail. Among
the girls we were surprised to find two
of about Is or 20 years of age with good
faces, which indicated that they could
not have been leading such life very
long. The lines in the faces indicating
hardships passed through were absent,
showing plainly that they knew not
what the result of such life would be
The other four showed plainly that such
q life was nothing new to them and
apparently were not ashamed Of their
conduct. Humanity is down very low
when it has lost its sense of shame
LATER The keeper plead guilty before
Judge Webb in Wausau on Tuesday and
was given year and half at waupun
