Why not Observe the Sabbath.

We have often asked and argued in
favor of observing the Sabbath through
the columns of the REPORTER, not because
of the personal inconvenience it gives
US on account of our close residence to
the grounds and can thereby hear the
yelling and profanity used on the
grounds, but because the church going
and law abiding citizens desire to
observe the day in accordance with the
teachings of the Holy bible. We have
gone to witness the games and have
taken particular pains to see who were
the offenders. Last week we published
a quotation taken from Rev. Smiths
sermon hoping perhaps this would have
some effect. Apparently it has not 1t
has often been wondered at, why the
officers of the association die not pro-
hibit the use of the grounds on this day,
but they seem to be heartily in accord
with it. 1t is hoped that the young
men of Grand Rapids and Centralia
viii discontinue this habit Of playing
ball and other sports on the Sabbath,
or if they must play, let them go SO far
out of the city limits that their yelling
may not be heard over the entire city.
If this is not sufficient we are requested
to notify them by order from some of
the prominent business men that if it
occurs hereafter, without limit, the
following section of the Revised Statute
will be enforced IN each and every case:
''Any person who shall keep open
his shop, warehouse or Workhouse, or
shall do any manner Of labor, business
or work, except only works of necessity
and charity, or to be present at any
dancing or public diversion, show or
entertainment, or take part in any sport,
game or play, on the first day of the
week shall be punished by fine not
exceeding ten dollars; and such day
shall be understood to include the time
between the midnight proceeding and
the midnight iollowing the said day,
and no civil process shall be served or
executed on saldday."
Ball playing isa good healthy exercise
and should be encouraged. Ii the young
men viii meet the wishes of the people
in regard to observing the Sabbath, |
they will gladly return the compliment
by patroniung their games on week
days. In this manner all ought to be
satisfied and everybody benefited by
doing right for the sake of Others, i'll
not for themselves.

Complimentary Concert.

The complimentary concert for the
benefit of Miss Belle Mosher, given al
the Opera House Monday evening was
not as iberaly patronized as should
have been, probably due to the bad
rainy weather. However those who
did attend enjoyed the pleasure of
listening to an excellent entertainment
in all its parts. Miss Belle never ap-
peared better. Her voice seemed clear
er, sweeter and more melodious than
on former occasions. Her songs were
greeted on every appearance with
hearty applause. Her costume was
made Up of black velvet and tricot
flannel IN nice contrast. The following
is the program:

marked features on the program and
eicitated hearty encores, while all the
pieces were highly appreciated. While
to the rendition of this pro-
gram we thought of the remarkable
amount of musical talent these two
cities were. able to boast of. Very few
cities of this size can produce the num-
ber Of good singers, piano players, &c.
We have reason to be proud Of this tai
ent and those who are gifted in this line
ought to be more literally patronized
and encouraged on such occasions as
5hese.

DrosG Cleared.

The Wausau Torchexpresses the
popular opinion in the following
article On murder trials: The jury
system is simply a farce and
nothing more:
The t~-at Of Albert Drost for the
shooting and killing Of Patrick
Burns, was concluded in the Mil
YANKEE court last Saturday and
The Jury returned a verdict Of mot
guilty" The result was not
unexpected. At the first trial held
here, where his crime was commit
ted and in which the jury disagreed
a jury consisting entirely of his
countrymen was chosen and during
the whole trial every effort was
made by the defense to stimulate
the race prejudice that exists be
tween the Irish and Germans
The same tactics were followed in
Milwaukee and when at last the
case went to the Jury, that
ignorant mob was ready to say
mot guilty even if he had killed
a dozen men. To the candid and
impartial observer it will always
appear as a causless killing and
there are many who look upon if
as a cold blooded, premeditated
murder.
The expense of two trials Will
reach far into the thousands OF
dollars, all of which must be borne
by the taxpayers, and for WHAT
| Merely because an incompetent
quick tempered, brainless BOBBY,
loaded with a revolver, was kept
upon the police force.
The county has one more muir
der case to dispose Of and if ii
delights in the childish farce oi
jury trials it can go on with that oi
Mr.. Schlecht, and sink a few
thousand more. Certainly, Schle-
chit is not as guilty as Drost. He
at least had some provocation
His act was done in the heat ot
passion, in a personal encounter on
his own premises. Guaged by
these later precidents he can never
be convicted and it would save
thousands of dollars to discontinue
all proceedings against him.
Murder trials have become q
farce, a judicial farce in which the
chances of conviction are so small
that no one need fear the conse-
quences if he contemplates murder
The people are slow to adopt
heroic remedies; but if this state
of things is to continue there viii
be such a demand for the sudder
Justice meeted out to the Viroqua
butcher as will save all further
expensive murder trials, and viii
clear the county of those who Sc
SO small a price on human life.
