The Police Should Uniform.
The Galena Gazette.


The members of the police force are
having some fun at the expense of one
Of their number. Last Sunday even
ing the officer in question was request
ed by one of the Salvation Army men
who stood in fear Of running into an
ambuscade of small boys on his way
home from the meeting, to be at the
barracks and escort him home. The
officer assented, and when he thought
the meeting was about over he ap-
peared at the barracks. There was an
able bodied female at the door and she
demanded 10 cents, the admission fee
charged on Sunday evening. The
officer began to explain but had said
but a few words when the door-keeper
seized him by the collar and before
the poor peeler realized it he was all in
heap and in the exterior darkness at
the bottom of the front steps. He
gathered himself up and went away,
leaving the timid Salvationist to his
fate. The episode shows the necessity
of uniforming the police, for how can
near-sighted woman distinguish one of
Galenas finest in civilian clothes from
an ordinary individual?

Our First Congress.

On the 4th day of March, 1889, the
first Congress of the United States of
America began its first session.
Though we sometimes date our ma
tional existence from July 4th, 1776,
when the Declaration of independence
was promulgated to the world, that
was really only the establishment of
confederacy of independent states, for
the single purpose Of freeing them
selves from the domination Of the
British Crown. Under this compact the
Revolutionary War was fought; but
after peace was gained. the particular
interests of the separate states began
to clash, and it was evident that the
General Government needed larger pow
ersiif the country was to amount to any
thing among the people of the earth.
Our existence as a consolidated and
powerful nation may therefore properly
be said to have begun in 1889. The
history of no nation can show such a
growth in 103 years. And but small
part OF our 65,O0O,OO0 people would be
here were it not for railroads, for the
center of the continent could not be
populous without them. and the bulk
of population is in the central portion
of the country. Foremost among these
transportation systems is The Burling
ton which gives the Northwestern peo-
pie quick and easy communication
with the East, South and Southwest.

Then and Now.
The Lancaster Teller.

Twenty years ago, when the editor
wrote DAIRY, the type compositor in
variably set it up DIARY. Now, when
the editor writes the latter word, the
compositor always gets it dairy. Tie
change appears to be in the fact that
boys used to hear their fathers speak
of their diaries, but their were not
enough diaries in this country for a
printer boy to know there was such
word. In these "last days." diaries
are at every other house; while the
people are repeating history" by fall
ing back to the state of aboriginal
negligence, that keeps no record for
recording occurrences.

The Lancaster Teller.

On Sunday about noon, Mrs. j. j.

bedroom. The smell of smoke
aroused her. She looked around and
in an adjoining room, and saw no
cause for it. But when she opened
the DINING room door, she found the
wood-box corner al ablaze. She cried,

ran down stairs in response; but her
father was ahead with buckets of
water, and quenched the fire. His
friends have feared he was in death
ly struggle with the grippe, but bis de-
termination shows him to be able to
fight both the grippe and a fire. The
fire was taking good start, and soon
the fine house would have gone up in
smoke. All the wood in the box had
caught fire. A clothes line, strung
across the corner above the box, was
burned off, and several garments de-
troYed.

A False Report.

A report was current to the effect
that the team stolen from Herman
GEM stable at Hazel Green, Friday
morning, had been recovered at Brush
Creek, Ia. The report arose from the
fact that a stranger with a team was
arrested at that place, but as the out
fit did not tally with the one stolen
from Mr. GEM it was released. Mr..
GEM has offered $50 reward for the
recovery Of his property, and there is

Prevented to Some Extent.


The practice of cutting timber on
State lands has been prevented to
some extent in Crawford county this
winter. Parties who have made bus
mess of stealing wood and timber
from the state lands here for many
years, have been notified that they
must cease, or be prosecuted. Several
camps Of woodchoppers have been
broken up, and if any trespassers are
found cutting and hauling wood from
state lands they will certainly get into
trouble. All the islands and wood
lands in the Wisconsin and Mississippi
bottoms belonging to the State of Wis
consin will be sold this spring.

WILL REVERT TO THE GROWN.
Money Received By Newspaper in a Word
 Prize Contest.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-A decision has been handed down in the case of the Queen against Pearson's Weekly, one of the papers that were conducting the missing word" competitions which were stopped by the courts because of the fact that the word competitions" used in ad- vertising and conducting the scheme was an infringement of the Gaming Act.
 When this decision was made the pro prietors of Pearson's Weekly had on hand the money sent in with guesses of one missing word. This sum amounted to 24, 900 pounds and a question arose as to what disposition should be made of it.
 The addresses of the persons who had not guessed the proper word had been destroyed, SO it was impossible to return the money, and the ruling of the court prevented its distribution among those who had guessed the missing word.
 The judge has ordered that Parsons Weekly pay the money in question into the court, the sheriff and the police as Benting to this disposition of the fund.
 It is probable that the money will re- vert to the crown.
