WOMEN WRITERS FOR THE
PRESS.

1t Is gratifying to learn that there
are in this state women who have
achieved reputation as contributors
to leading newspapers and literary
magazines. Milwaukee and Madison
are both reported as possessing women
talented as writers. 1t is currently re-
ported that there are those Of this class
in this city, and the statement is so
often heard repeated of one who writes
regularly for Chicago publications, as
well as for papers elsewhere, that it
ought to be an accepted fact. In add.
ton, it is said, she not only furnishes
satisfactory reading matter. but that
her articles command remunerative
compensation. This last would seem
to be proof of her literary merit. The
TELEGRAPH may at a future time be
allowed to take larger liberty in speak
ing of this woman's literary produc-
tions, but for the present it must suf-
fee to say she is resident in the third
ward of this city.

PLEASANT PRAIRIE.

There was considerable excitement in
our usually quiet neighborhood last
Saturday afternoon. A telegram, re-
ceived at Ranney, sent all section men,
and nearly every other man into the
woods to search for a man who had
stolen child from house in Racine
county, and had started south with it.
The man had been seen walking on the
railroad south of Truesdell, and, suspect
ing discovery, had taken to the woods.
The most diligent search, however, failed
to discover his hiding place. In the
evening he was found at Mr.. Seaman's
farm house, was taken into custody, and
sent back to Racine.
Herbert Holt visited with some
friends in Pleasant Prairie Saturday and
Sunday.
George Andrews narrowly escaped
being arrested at Pleasant Prairie station
last Saturday afternoon. His little
nephew was going west on the train, and
he came to see him off, when a gentle
man present said to him, "You are my
prisoner!" Mr.. Andrews thought at first
it was 8 joke, but soon discovered his
mistake. He so strikingly resembled
the fugitive child-stealer that the officer
thought he had secured his victim.
Friends very soon extricated him from
his undesirable position. Moral: Don't
look like a kidnapper of babies. q:

THE LATE GEORGE BENNETT

A late number of the Ottawa, ILL.,,
Daily Times contains an extended
obituary notice of George Bennett,
whose death was mentioned in the
TELEGRAPH a short time ago. After
residing in this place 20 years, he went
to Ottawa in 1866, where he remained
TO the time of his death. We have not
room for the obituary of him in the
Ottawa Times, but the tribute paid to
his business reputation, his moral
worth and good deeds entitle him to the
grateful remembrance of all who once
knew him in this city. 1t is pleasing
to hear those so highly spoken of who
were once residents here, but went
elsewhere and ended their days among
new associations.

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

The preference expressed in our col
umns last week is w. ID. Hoard as the
candidate for Governor. Mr.. Hoard is
no doubt the choice of large majority
of the farmers, where he is known in
the state, but his success in the conyen-
tion is by no means certain. No doubts
as to his political integrity, but, wheth-
er fortunately or unfortunately, he is
not in professional sense a politician;
he is not political manager. Raising
cows and calves and learned i'm the
science of cheese and butter making
does not fit him to run caucus or
manage nominating convention

him to plan for Office. The advice Of

are shrewd managers; the result will
be known after Wednesday next.
