pOoLITrLE REgOICEs.

Charles Doolittle, one Of the Boston
sneak-thievos. who plead guilty to TIL
tapping in tins city and il now serving d
term in jal, when told of the arrests on
Tuesday remarked to an officer that he
was Glad of it; that it served them right
for attempting to DO professional work
without having served regular appren-
ficeship that, in his opinion, they were
little above fakirs, who carry an expert
safe-blower along with them to do the
scientific work.
Doolittles true name, Justice Richard
son SAWS. Is Pendergast, and he has
served seven years term in the Illinois
penitentiary for one Of the most expert
iobs of burglary that has ever been COM
mitted in this country.
In Norfolk one of the witnesses being
held is fakir, who says that on Satnr-
day last he told a member OF the firm
robbed that he had seen a notorious New
York thief named Ward hanging around
their place and he suspected plans beng
made for q robbery.

CONTEMPTfBLE.

We clip the following from the last
Marshfield Times:
GA report comes to us, and apparent
lv with a showing of truth, that parties
in Grand Rapids have been engaged in
secretly poisoning the minds of repub-
licans in jackson and Monroe counties
against Hon. Robert Connor as a candi-
date for State Senator. The convention
was unanimous with one exception and
that one not from Grand Rapids or
Centraiia, in favor of Mr. Conner, and
if the rumor be true it is piece of pol
itical treachery Of the sneak order that
should be remembered"
Where does this report" with an
apparent Showing of truth" come
from? Who are the "parties in Grand
Rapids" who have been engaged
secretly" or otherwise, in poisoning
the minds of Republicans" anywhere
against Mr.. Connor as candidate for
State Senator? If any such party or
parties reside in Grand Rapids they
ought to be exposed and branded as
the E'sneaks" they are. Mr.. Connor is
man who commands the respect and
confidence of the Republicans of the
whole county. He was their choice for
Senator without dissenting voice. If
any Republican in Grand Rapids has
secretly worked against him, or by any
means sought or attempted to defeat
his nomination, such Republican de-
serves the contempt of all honorable
men. Now who is he? If this report
has any showing of truth" let the
Times and its reporter "show" it up.
If Republicans here have such man
or men in their ranks they are anxious
to know it. If they have not, and there
is no showing of truth" in the Times
report, it will of course, as an honor
able paper, retract.

Cranberries Feel the Frost.

CRANBERRY CENTER, Wis, Sept. 8
There was heavy frost in this section
Of the country Saturday morning The
thermometer registered 27Sdegrees at
sunrise. The loss of cranberries here
is difficult to estimate. All the dryer
bogs were badly frozen, while those
supplied with water from reservoirs or
rivers were almost untouched.
TOMAH, Wis, Sept. 3.-To-day is the
beginning of the cranberry harvest on
most of the marshes in this part of the
state. Tomah is the distributing point for
a large region lying in Monroe, Juneau
and Wood Counties, and a special train
left here this morning, carving hun
dreds of pickers TO the marshes along
the Valley Division Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway and its
branches. Fifty cents per day is paid
for hand pickers, and rakers receive 81
per day and board The harvest be-
gins with the crop in fine condition,
although some damage was done by
frost on September 1st.
BERLIN, Wis, Sept 3.-Frost has dam
aged cranberries in dry marshes con-
siderably. Geo. Sackett estimates from
reports that he has heard that from 25
to 80 per cent. of the berries on marshes
that had no water to save them are
hurt

We hope this turn will prove financial
benefit to our friend Glennon, but we
fear in the long run he will be the loser
thereby. The Republican party is on
the eve of successful campaign which
would prove of great benefit to Bro.
Glennon without doubt. However this
is none of our business.
