Mrs. C. O. Baker moved her furniture
and household goods into part of her
residence the past week and now
occupies that portion. The rooms
vacated we've rented to Mr.. Henry
Harding, who has moved therein and
is now comfortably located.
Dr. Marks, Of Milwaukee, was in the
city Sunday to try and relieve the
sufferings of Mr.. John Arpin. DR..
Marks is physician of almost National
reputation, but be was unable to do
much for him. Relief came, but from
Him who rules the universe.
Mr.. Scott Morrill,, who has been in
this city for some time in business with
his father, left for Minneapolis Monday
morning. Scott was a resident Of
Minneapolis and St. Paul so long that
Grand Rapids offered no attraction or
inducements to him and so we couldn't
keep him.
DR.. G.. T. Witter, president of the
Wisconsin State Medical Society, was
in Milwaukee last week in attendance
at the annual session. He delivered
his annual address which was highly
spoken of by the Milwaukee Daily
papers. The session was one Of the
best in the history of the Association.
Mr.. Witter returned Saturday morning.
L. NJ. Alexander and wife, of Port
Edwards, and J. w. Cameron and wife,
of Vesper, returned from their Western
tour the past week. Their trip was a
delightful one and the climate very
agreeable to them. They all arrived
looking we'll and hearty and much
benefited for having taken this trip.
Mr.. Alexander kindly gave our Boss a
few pointers about the Western country
before he left for California, also letters
to friends, and with these to start on
we are satisfied he will fare we'll.
Messrs. Noble Day and n Eldred, of
Wausau, surprised their friends il the
twin cities by making their appearance
HcIC Oh SATURDAY vi COURSE lnt Joys
brought down the banjo and guitar, and
with the assistance of some local talent
gave another of their musical concerts

young men are fine artists on these in
struments and each visit endears them
the more to us. We hope to see and
hear them here again soon.

While in Stevens Point Sunday we
called at the Journal office in its new
quarters in the Johnson dancing hall
and found the good natured Tom
Simons and Mr.. Fisher at home. The
Journal is now situated in as spacious
and pleasant home as one could desire
having large and commodious office,
the press room separate, and a large,
well lighted composing room. Every
thing in the composing room looks
neat and orderly and owing to the
amount Of space and the ingenious
devices Of Mr.. Fisher everything is at
hand and withal it makes model
apartment in which to work. This
change is a decided improvement over
the old quarters. AS they have grown
in room and appearance so may their
business interests also prosper is the
least wish Of the REPORTER.

PRIVATE DALZELL'S RETIREMENT.

Our friend, Mr.. Dalzell, Of Caldwell, O.,
has made an announcement that he will be
known as Private Dalzell'' no longer.
Not that he has been promoted, however
much he may deserve the title of Colonel
or General, with which numerous gentle
men have been decorated, though they
never partook of any more serious war
fare than the conflicts of political conven-
tions. But he retires to civil life in conse.
quence of the discovery that the people no
longer take stock in privates, and, honora.
bic as the title is, he finds no usufruct
in it.
His discovery further includes the fact
that big bank account is of more avail in
political conventions than record of use
full service in the ranks. As the ex-Pri-
vate is tolerably regular in his attendance
on conventions, it is to be presumed that
he knows whereof he affirms.
Thus it seems that even the persistent
ex-Private has the political encroachments
of wealth forced upon his attention. The
act is one which numerous other privates
ave been obliged to notice. 1t contains a
Tgestion that the most urgent need of
times is the cultivation of a kind of
..tics in which money shall not be all.
powerful.
If ex-Private Dalzell devotes the same
energy to intoxicating such political re-
form that he has done to being private
for the past 80 years, we shall hope to see
some good results from his work.

A VERY NICE SAVING.

The long-standing Poor Farm struggle
was formally ended yesterday by the issue
of warrant for the purchase of the
Neeld property, on CHARTERS creek, at
the price of SCI, ,6S7. The payment was
made the occasion for renewed assertions
of the desirabllity of the purchase, the fine
character of the farm, and the entire in
tegrity of the transaction. These asser-
tions we have neither ground for doubt
ing nor desire to contradict.
But there is one feature of the occasion
which may be deemed worthy of passing
mention. When ordinances were pre-
sented for the purchase of properties
costing $3.50, 900 to $500, 900 THE DISPATCH
took the ground that the amount was ex-
cessive. 1t held that the size of the farm
need not be over 100 or 200 acres; that a
river front was hot requisite, and that
land suitable to the purpose ought to be
had for from S150 to $3.50 per acre. While
these positions were warmly controverted,
the point has been gradually reached Of
taking farm away from the river, which
is declared in the Department of Charities
to be all that the heart of manager of
the Poor Farm could wish for, at cost of
just about one quarter the price of the
early farms
While it is not by any means certain
that less land would not have answered all
essential purposes, THE DISPATCH is con-
tented to have helped in securing such a
reduction from the original sum asked.
1t is in round numbers $500, 900; and $780,
600 ought to prove very useful in furnish
ing buildings of the best character and
most approved construction.

an officer OF the reserves:
II do not know the writer of the letter;
never heard Of him in connection with the

in the meantime lhink 1t proper for you
and Captain Taylor to let the subject OF this
communication be known in Philadelphia,

The survivors of the reserve do not intend
that the high officials OF the Grand Army
shall prevent them from having reunion
II they do keep them out OF the parade as q

shall take place during the great Washing

had gone to the front in separate commands.
