THE fashion of wearing no gloves
is an Internal fraud. With gloves
you can have three or four strings
tied around your finger with hard
knots in the back and folks would
think it was a lot of diamond rings.
$4,000 is the amount offered by
a wealthy liquor dealer for the
granting of (not to exceed) ten sa-
loon licenses in Prairie du CHEN.
The liquor dealer is to select his
men and furnish the bonds. The
thirty licensed sellers there now pay
less than $4,000.
w. Ii. PRIDEAUx, having pur-
chased the stock of Moffett's drug
store and leased the building, is now
in readiness to attend to wants of
all customers. He is busily engaged
in arranging things to suit his taste
which is known to be of high
order.

The Chicago Journal says, "what
john J.. Sullivan is among the heavy
weight pugiIists Of the world, Evan
Lewis is among the heavyweight
wrest!ers. His muscular develop
ment is something wonderful; his
physical structure as nearly perfect
as one can imagine; and his agility
astonishing in man of such huge
stature. While kind and generous
and considerate of the feelings of
his fellow men, as be may meet them
in business or social intercourse, he
is simply merciless in the wrestling
ring"
WILL it ever be insisted on by the
proper authorities that horses be not
tied on our streets for hours in cold
and stormy weather We believe
that the officer who has authority to
interfere in such matters would put
a feather in his cap and make him
self justly and deservedIy popular
sby taking a reasonable interest IN
this matter. Horses that come to
town perspiring under their heavy
loads or by fast driving, suffer a
great deal even in moderate winter
weather by not being banketed or
stabbed, but during extreme cold
weather under the same circum-
stances their suffering must be
intense.
BOYS and girls of school age
ought not to be seen frequently on
the streets during school hours. The
same power that establishes and
maintains schools at public expense
should provide quite strictly for the
regular attendance of all persons
for whom the schools are designed,
At any rate something should be
done to prevent boys aud girls from
squaudering their time in idleness
aud wasting that period Of theIi
lives which should fit them foi
future seif-support and usefulness.
If not otherwise occupied all boys
aud girls should attend school as j
matter Of business policy if from
no higher motive.
