Friend Fontaine:-
Enclosed please find
81 80 for the REPORTER for 1891. Its
weekly visits are a great source of COM
fort to me, giving me news of interest
of my old home which my friends
neglect to give me in their letters.
We are enjoying beautiful weather,
summer every day, no wind or storm of
any kind, up to the present time.
Times are good, money is plenty, and
labor of all kinds in good demand
Ihe A. T. & Santa Fee R. R. Co. is
doing rushing business keeping three
switch engines going night and day in
the yards here, and are making extern
sive improvements in their works.
This with the several new houses that
are being completed at the present
time, in the city, gives plenty of work
for the laboring classes and keep plenty
of money in circulation so that our
business men are doing a good safe
business, and everybody seems to be
happy and contented.
Respectfully,
P.J. HEEox.

and gesticulations, indicative OF the
communication of valuable knowledge.
which, for outsiders is like forbidden
fruit, and all this was for the purpose of
informing the new officials of the way
Of doing things as they were done
before.
The outgoing officers had made
arrangements at the Central House for
an elegant dinner which was served to
the new officers as mark of friendly
courtesy by the old ones. A social time
was had and the new officers are now
serving their constituents as if nothing
had ever happened.

advantages which he did during the

and in our opinion, is just the man we
want. He is self made, owns the
factory and personally oversees it. He
made the committee this proposition in
substance. That he would move his
factory here if we would furnish site,
pay transportation on his machinery
and stock, and take $4,000 stock so as to
increase the capacity of the plant.
The committee believe his proposition
a reasonable one and feasible. Now is
your opportunity to start an industry in

our cities. Will you help bring this
industry here is the question. Do so
when the opportunity is presented.

yearago for the murder of Dave Sarvis on
New Years eve. Its bid for pardon

DEAR SIKs:-I thought l would drop
you few lines to let you know how
am getting Along. Lam not feeling very
we'll to-day, but l think l shall be all
right in day or two. My health has
been good up to the present, almost a
year since coming here. Yon must not
think that [ am lover of prison life,
but it is better than l expected it to be
when l left Merrill I am we'll treated
here. Warden Weeks is a gentleman
and SO are his officers. l get plenty 70
eat and drink-not booze. but tea and
coffee, and everything is kept clean and
neat. There are 555 convicts here at
present. Thanksgiving day the warden
gave US the privilege of attending a
grand entertainment and furnished us
with good turkey dinner. We have
had two whole and two half HOLIDAYS
since [ have been here. Give the peo-
pie of Merrill my best regards and well
wishes and happy New Year, hoping
they will never again witness another
such sad one as the last I hope they
can all forgive me for my rash act.
Imagine if you can my feelings when I
realize that the balance Of my life must
be spent within the narrow bounds of
these prison walls. Had ] taken Tim
OConnor's advice | would not have
been here to-day, but had been drink
ing for two or three days and was
little hot headed and did not heed him.
Now | can see where my fault lay. One
thing [ can say for myself is that am
now praving to God-something [ did
not do for over twenty years before-to
save my soul from everlasting punish
ment, and | know that he will do it,
An established pom. of light whence
rays traverse the world-our part is
marked and we must accept it.

GROWERS MEETING.

Tuesday next, Jan. 18th, the w. S.
Cranberry Growers Association will
hold its annual meeting at the Council
Rooms, in Grand Rapids. A program
for the discussion of the leading cues
ton. in cranberry culture, is arranged,
that will certainly prove profitable to
all growers.
There is perhaps no other industry in
which So large a percentage of the
money spent has been worse than
wasted, most of which might be saved
if those who wasted their time and
money would learn and profit by the
failure of others.
Cranberry growing is fast becoming
the leading industry in this county.
The large profits of the past year has
very much stimulated it, and if the
present impulse to plant and improve
the marshes continues during the next
five years, Wisconsin Will in the near
future produce more than half the cram
berries of commerce.

ton of never doing things by halves
and always succeed. They netted from
the proceeds nearly $50,

WEBB FOR PINNEY.

The Chippewa Falls correspondent of
the Democrat IN his special published
yesterday morning said, in speaking of
the conference of lawyers that endorsed
the candidacy Of Hon. S. Pinney for a
supreme court judgship, that much
hard work was done by the friends of
Judges Webb and Newman to have the
meeting fix on them as the choice" "
This NAV be the fact, but it has long
been known that Judge Webb was out
spoken in his advocacy of the selection
of Mr.. Pinney. Some of his friends
may perhaps have desired to see him
designated as the choice of the north
Wisconsin bar, and zealously worked
to accomplish that end, but Judge
Webb himself was certainly not with
them, as letters received by various
lawyers amply testify.-Madison Demo-

Just at this time when the outlook for
the future welfare of our little city is not
overly bright, we should lose one of the
most beneficial institutions we have for
the laboring man, is bad. 1t is a loss
we can lily afford, and one that will be
keenly felt by many who have been in
Mr.. Harmon's employ for the past eight
years.
In an interview with Mr. George
1iles at Dexterville, Christmas night,
he informed the writer of this that the
report which was going the rounds of
the state, that he was about to purchase
the Kirby House, Milwaukee, was false,
not a word oftruth in it, but so far as he
WAS interested in the building and pur-
chasing Of hotels, he had made up his
mind to put up fine large brick hotel
at Baskerville, to be equipped with all
the modern improvements and appli-
ances. The brick for the house has al
ready been secured, and work of build
ing will commence soon after the first
day of January, 1891. The estimated

DIDN'T KEEP HIS AGREEMENT.

In the Perrin trial at Oshkosh last
Friday, Judge Cate was called as a
witness. He testified that during the
preliminary examination of f. w.
Baker and Phelps Perrin he was sum-
moned by a telegram to Ashland and
was asked to defend the prisoners and
upon learning that they were penniless
refused to do so, whereupon Mr.. Leon
ard Perrin guaranteed the fees to be
paid him for his work. Judge Cate
also stated that he had never received
a cent for the defense of Baker, but
that since the trial Mr.. Perrin had
repudiated what he Cate considered
an agreement between them.-St. Paul
