some thing out of joint at this house l
heard the wife say to her daughter 1--WE
are going to ruin for your father drinks
so much and pays so little attention to
his business, that we shall be reduced
to beggary." 1 was the cause of much
misery in that home, the master of the
house spent SO much time drinking that
his affairs got all in tangle and the
place was mortgaged and after awhile
passed into the hands of strangers.
The family removed to poorer quarters
but my owner clung lovingly to me
declaring; ''hicl | was such comfort in
trouble" One time after drinking
deeply he was so wild that he caught
the three year old baby and swinging
him round struck his head against the
side of the house killing him instantly.
This seemed to sober him somewhat

fortunes of this family were rapidly
going to decay. The windows were

drunken frenzy had struck down his
wife with one fist while she was plead

Found Guilty.

The past week the Cochran sisters,
dressmakers, who occupy part of the
up stairs in II. H. Compton's store
building in this city had Mr.. H. II.
Compton arrested charged with stealing
50 of their money. The trial came off
Monday afternoon before Justice w
HI. Gets, Centralia. The writer listened
to the testimony in the case and we
must say we were astonished when the
justice rendered his decision of guilty
and fined the prisoner $40 and costs.
The evidence certainly did not show
that Mr.. Compton took the money.
The evidence rendered by the young
ladies showed that they lost $9 but
nothing in their testimony showed
that Mr.. Compton took it. This evil
dence will never find Mr.. Compton
guilty before jury in the Circuit Court
where it has been appealed, and will
only add two or three hundred dollars
expense for the county to pay for the
loss Of SO. We believe the young ladies
lost SO, because they say SO, but we
don't believe Mr.. Compton guilty of so
low and petty offense. The prosecution
was carried on in the name of the State
by the Dist. Attorney and Mr.. F. S.
Woodwork. of Pittsville appeared to
defend Mr. Compton.
On the other hand if the evidence
was sufficient to find Mr.. Compton
guilty fine of $50 and cost would have
been plenty small enough. However
justice nowadays is hardly ever pro-
perly ppo1tioned.

COUNTY JUDGE.

At the municipal election this spring
a County Judge will lie elected to sue
ceed Hon. Geo. Z. Williams whose term
expires January 1st 1890. We believe
we speak the sentiments of this section
of the county when We say, that the
people of Wood County have been
ably, judiciously and unpartiaily served
by the present incumbent. No
Improvement could be made by a
change and we would therefore move
you that the County Cle1k be authorized
to cast the ballot of Wood County for
Mr.. Geo. L. Williams, as County Judge
for the ensuing four years. Motion
carried unanimously and Mr.. Williams
is declared elected. This method will
save expense of election and some
other fellow the modification of defeat.

At Wausau the court has for the last
two days been occupied with the case of
Rev. Davis, pastor of the Methodist
church, charged by John Whalen, ex-
police chief, with criminal libel. The
court finds that the sensational story
told by Kate Bushnell and published in
the Chicago Herald concerning the
Wausau dives and police were malicious
falsehoods in every particular, and
fully exonerates ex-chief Whalen. The
court also finds no proof that Davis
published anything maliciously with
intent to libel Whalen and he was

PRIZE CONTEST.

The Prize Defamation Contest which
took place Wednesday evening at Opera
Hall, was largely attended. The pro-
gram was we'll selected and all the
young men did remarkably well in their
delivery. The following is the program:
Music by the Band.
How he saved ST. MichaeTs. Francis McRaith
The Legacy of Chivalry to English Romance.
N1IIlam BraZeau
Spartacus to the Romans. Arpin
Music by Jens Flaaten.
Death-bed of Benedict Arnold. Heber L. Tibbits
The Slave P Witter
Music by the Band.
The judges, Messrs. J. A. Gaynor,
Geo. L. Williams and Mr.. Groesbeck,
awarded the first prize to Heber L..
Tibbits, and the second to Francis
McRaith. Everybody present realized
the fact that Theodore Tyler showed
more talent in the delivery and eXecu-
ton of "Pat's Excelsior than any of
the young men, but it was mutually
agreed that he was not to be considered
in the contest for prizes for he might be
entitled to both. A large number
present were of the opinion that
Francis McRaith was entitled to first
place instead of second. However the
Judges had a hard matter to chose for
they were all entitled to prizes. The
prizes consisted of $6. for first and 81.
for second.
The Juvenile Band under the leader
ship of Rube. Lyon rendered four
pieces to the delight of the audience.
This band is making rapid progress
