a JOKE ON JAKE.

There is a good deal of good-natured
rivalry among the dealers buying hides
and pelts here in Necedah. There is
Irish & Paulson and Jake Crosse across
the street from each other, and many
little incidents happen during the
course of the year that causes the
cheerful smile to play on the feartures
of those interested. Last Tuesday a
German residing near Germantown
came to town with a load of beef, which
sold at the Necedah Lumber Co.'S, he
also had two hides in the sleigh which
had been promised to Jake some time
before. Bill Irish, that jolly Irishman,
who always has his weather eye open
for a bargain or joke, spied the game
and approached the sleigh, which had
been left in charge of a son while the
old man was receiving settlement for
the beef.
"Ah, those are nice looking hides you
have there. How much do you want
for them?''
''They vos sold nit Jake Crosse, al
ready"
"Jake Crosse! Poor man! Didn't
you hear about him?''
Nein! Vat list de matter nit Shaker"
"Why he is dead and buried, poor
man. He was fine fellow to. And
| the market man went on to extoll the
virtues of his competitor that had pass
ed aWay-in his mind.
By this time the father returned tc
the sleigh, and the son soon related to
| him in Fatherland talk, what had hap.
| pened to the square man. The upshot
of the matter was that Irish secured the
hides then and there. Before returning
home the farmer went into Crosses
place of business, presumably to ofel
| his sympathy and coincidence to the
bereaved family. When he behaved
in a strange manner, very much as die
Macbeth when at the banquet the ghos
of the murdered Banquo appears anC
kicks up such a rumpus. The farmer
rubbed his eyes and looked daZed anC
wearing his usual smile and winning
| manner.
"Howdy, Mr. Schultz. Did you bring
me those hides day."
"Mein Gottl Jake is dat you? [ va
told dat you vas died. Mein Colt, in
himmel, how vas fraid me-"
"But the hides Mr. Schultz ?"
ooh yah! Dot tam Irishment owe.
dere dold me you died and buried, once
already, und he dock de hides himself.

SMALL POX.

Appleton, Wis, Feb. g, 1888.
To all Local Boards of Health in
Wisconsin.-This Board has very
recently received official notice Of
the occurrence Of cases of Small
Pox in nearly all the States con-
tiguous to Wisconsin, and has also
information, official and other, of
the existence of that disease in
various parts of the United States.
In California it is SO prevalent
that it has been declared epidemic
by the Board of Health of that
state.
As this disease may be contract
ed in one state and develop in
one far distant therefrom, these
facts are eminently suggestive of
danger to us in Wisconsin, and
they are furnished for the infor-
nation of Local Health Board in
this state with the earnest sug-
gestion that such Board should
watch with vigilance during the
ordinary period of incubation OF
Small Pox usually about fourteen
days.. lest it develop in the per-
sons Of any who may reach their
respective communities from
abroad or after travel. 1t is fur
Their suggested that Health Boards

FOR CONGRESS.

There is, beyond question, a
pronounced opposition to fourth
term in congress for Hon. l.
Stephenson, in the western and
central parts of the ninth congress
sional district, but we trust that,
in voicing this sentiment the press
will not feel called upon to adopt
democratic methods in what it
considers to be legitimate work.
1t is wrong to disparage any man,
and it is wrong to speak i'll of a
candidate or office holder without
cause, as it is to libel a private
citizen. Mr.. Stephenson has
made a good member. The old
soldiers, in particular, have rea-
son to remember him with graft
tude, for he has helped many o.
them to their just dues. He has
always been at his post, faithful,
approachable, and willing to do all
in his power for his constituents
and for the party of his choice
Republicans can not afford tc
sling dirt at such as he. But he
has served three terms in congress
has received all the honors tc
which he is entitled, and should
now gracefully step down anc
make room for another as worthy
and, probably better fitted intellec
tually for the office. That is all
Star & News.
We believe the above expresse!
the sentimentes of a large majority
of the Republicans of the otl
Congressional District, and W.
have no reason to doubt, but tina
Hon. Isaac Stephenson, will sus
tain his former good record, BY
refusing to be candidate for an
other term. He certainly ha
been faithful to every trust AM
made an excellent representative
for the 9th District. The distric
is large and contains many mel
capable Of doing full justice to sucl
a position and they ought to hav
an opportunity.

More OF Cleveland's Humbug.

The last New York bank state
ment shows that the associated
banks have lost during the week
ending on the Sd inst, within a
fraction of 100000 in specie,
legal tenders and deposits, though
the loans were increased only
S864,ooo. The drain still contin-
ues, because the government is
boarding the large sums which
were paid in for duties. February
and March are heavy months at
the custom house.
The Cleveland Administration
has paid out as little as possible in
order to make big surplus. The
debt was not reduced during the
month, the surplus was merely
increased to the amount of SILL
100000; and yet this surplus is
returned as a reduction ofthe debt.
This humbug method of fnancier-
ing is about equal to Cleveland
himself as humbug.
The bill to authorize the pur-
chase of bonds has passed the
House and will be passed by the
Senate to-day. After it is signed
the secretary can purchase during
the month S5o,ooo,ooo Of AIS
without to much reducing the sur
plus. The registered IS can be
purchased for 1861 and it is an
excellent investment for the gov
eminent SO long as it has plenty
of money in the treasury.

Marshfeld Items.

From the Times: Jas. Cameron, OF
Vesper, and Ed. Lynch, of Grand
Rapids, were in the city Wednesday.
Mr.. Cameron was particularly interest
ed in the scheme ofsawing "boiled logs
of the Upham Mfg Co.
Mrs Sarah Stanton and Miss Nellie
Stanton, from Grand Rapids, Mich,
Mrs. G. F. Witter, from Grand Rapids,
Wis, and Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Connor,
of Auburndale, were guests of Mr..
Witter on Saturday.
A distinction with a difference is evil
denced in the fact that Grand Rapids
and Centralia, for which the county was
bounded for $150,00C, for railroads for
their sole and only benefit, still persists
in Marshfeld, which has passed through
the ordeal of half million dollar fire,
assisting in maintaining a bridge for
their sole benefit.
The Times has been shown private
letter received by gentleman in this
city, from an England road capitalist,
both gentlemen being intimately con-
nected, in which there is conveyed the
assurance, that the Canada & South
western railroad project which was
planned some years ago, is not yet bur-
led, not yet dead. the tenor of the
English gentleman's letter is in effect,
that the road must be built and at once,
from La Crosse to the $500" In ad-
dition to the letter mentioned from the
English gentleman the Times is in re-
ceipt of a communication dictated by
Lacrosse capitalists in relation to the
project. Their expression is cit is need

must have it and as soon as possible.

LIVELY LIVINGSTON.


Murder, vigilantes and Contested Elections
Conditions seem to be interesting in Liv.
ingston. The Coroner's jury, which took up
consideration of the case of Daniel Miller
found mangled by the cars, returned yer.
dict, Dec. /, that he came to his death from
causes unknown, although they and the rest
of the community are satisfied he was mur-
dered, perhaps in the town, and his body
hauled and thrown on the track two miles
away, where the long freight train would
soon come laundering down the heavy grade
in the dark. He worked some miles from
town, and had brought checks in for friends
to have cashed. This he did at saloons, just
before leaving town, and it is believed he
was either murdered then or enticed some
distance up the track and assassinated.
The citizens of Livingston have organized
a vigilance committee and notified about 2;
FOUNDERS to leave camp. They received
written invitations through the postof6ce, in
red ink, Wednesday, but as they still lin
gered, a well-armcd and masked body of mer
made the rounds of the town that night and
personally interviewed the persons. Nine
of them left by the next trains east and west
Livingston has had an overdose of toughs
recently, and the citizens have made up theil
minds they must 60.
As another matter Of interest, Hickox
Rep, who was beaten by two votes for Com
missioner by B. F. Myers, Dem, charges q
fraudulent votes were cast in Springdale
which he will endeavor to have thrown out.
This would give him the election, but mo-
disturb any other officer. Altogether, Liv
ingston has not been dull by any means the
mast week or two.
