Silverware and Jewelry.

Mr.. }. II. Chapman extends cordial
invitation to the people of Grand
Rapids and Centralia and surrounding
country to call at his jewelry store and
examine the beautiful line of goods that
he now has in stock for the holiday
trade. His line of gold and silver
watches is complete, and the finest
of silyerware, both in hollow and flat
ware, that was ever displayed in the
county. Over 800 different designs in
rings, some of as fine diamonds as was
ever seen. How about his prices?
Well he guarantees them as low as the
lowest. He guarantees every article
as represented or money refunded. 1t
is his aim to give the people as fine a
selection of goods as can be found any
where and prices that no one can find
fault with.
a word i'll regard to his watch repair
ing department. He claims there is no
watch repair shop in the country which
can down his. He will give $50 for any
watch that he cannot make run. If
you want a fine clock for your mantle
or for present to Il friend be sure and
see him before buying elsewhere.

AS TO Mr.. ROURkE.

The Reporter has opened its mud
battery upon the democratic candidate
for county clerk, Mr.. Frank l.. Rourke,
of this city. MIR. Rourke is charged
with owong several persons for milk
and cream, which Indebtedness was
contracted while he was connected with
the Centralia Creamery Co. in 1899. 1t
is true that there are a few persons
not to exceed half a dozen-whom Mr.
ROurke owes on that account. 1t is
purely a personal matter between Mr.
Rourke and his creditors, with which
the Reporter has, or ought to have,
nothing to o-[Enterprise.
Not to exceed half Dozen" We
would refer our brother editor to the
farmers in the towns of Saratoga, Grand
Rapids, Rudolph, Seneca, Port Edwards
and Sigel, and if he cannot find more
than half dozen creditors whom Mr..
Rourke is owing for cream that was
purchased while he was running his
creamery, it is simply because he has
paid them up since his nomination. If
telling facts that are known generally
in this end of the county is opening our
mud battery, then We have it wide
open.

Was He a Democrat?

Mr.. Ernest Eichsteadt denies having
been democrat, but says he has often
acted as secretary of democratic eau
causes because that party was always
short of democrats about the store in
Ports Edwards to act in that capacity
Brother editor you are off again. Look
the matter up again. If Mr.. Eichsteadt
is Il democrat simply because he acted
town caucus why | know of many
democrats who must be republicans for
the same reason. Ask Mr.. kellogg, of
Nesper, if he is a republican for the
same reason. Come again neighbor

ENTERPRISE ON TIN PLATE.

And yet not more than a few weeks
ago when the paper mill in our own
city was TO be rooted, the gentlemen
who had the contract in hand, desired
to use -made-lin-p plate. He

number of firms, but no American TN

carry around with them. American tin

ten years. So much for the tin-plate

We take 1t for granted that the Enter

will charge us with being 'cute" again.
However, we must take exceptions to
the above. From Mr.. Garrison. presi-

If the Editor of the Enterprise had
gone through the civil war and lost an
arm upon the battle field as General
Lucius Fairchild did, to defend the
union of states perhaps he would wax
warm and eloquent whenever he had
occasion to speak of the South and
their continued attempts at rascality.

presidential candidate on the People s
ticket, was rotten egged while speaking
in Atlanta. Georgia, still he was just the
same.

lNCENDIARY FIRE.

Last Friday afternoon Mr.. Henry
Whltrock who resides in the town OF
Seneca met with a serious loss. 1t
appears that he left home in the morn
ing at seven O'Clock to help his neighbor
while his wife took the horse and buggy
to drive to another neighbors house for
a days visit. There was no fire left in
the cook stove at the house. The up
right part of the house was not finished
and not occupied About one O'Clock
in the afternoon Mr.. Whitrock noticed
IL fire in the direction of his place and
hurried there only TO find his suspicious
realized. His house was not insured
and they had left sos in cash hidden
away in the bed tick. Every inch of
clothing, bedding, furniture, tools,
harnesses etc were all consumed. 1t
leaves them penniless with pair of
naked horses and barn and buggy.
Loss about $1,000. Mr.. Whitrock has
the sympathy of the twin cities in his
loss.

Democratic Rally.

The court house was comfortably
filled Tuesday evening to hear Col. j
H. Knight, of Ashland, and L. A
Barnes, of Appleton, speak on the
political issues of the present campaign
Like other speakers they claim the
democrats are not in favor of free trade.
That they want good money and state
banks can furnish it just as well as
National Banks, etc Their campaign
is one of misreprese ntation and an
attempt to hoodwink the people. We
don't believe they can win this year as
they did two years ago.

Democratic Mistake.

The democratic legislature of 1891
passed law by which all libraries
OF Professional men are exempt from
taxation. The lawyers library are his
tools, the farmers mower and reaper
are his tools. The lawyers library
even if worth thousands of dollars
cannot be taxed but the farmer, if he
has more than S200of tools will be taxed
on them. This is democratic justice to
the farmer

business few years ago. He prospered
for time and he had the confidence Of
the people. A time of trial came and
he was found wanting in integrity.

the same failure, small amounts ranging
from $40 up to $50. These were con-
tracted with the farmers in the towns
of Saratoga, Grand Rapids, Seneca, and
Rudolph. We could furnish the names
and amounts if we deemed it necessary.
These amounts are due to poor hard
working farmers for cream that was
sold him while he was operating a
creamery. This is the kind of young
man the Democratic bosses are asking
the people to support for county clerk
of Wood county. We know the people
like to be humbugged, but we believe
the bosses Will get left in this game.

the democrats talking so loudly about

Amateur Smuggling

SEATTLE, Feb. A highly exciting
chase after a smuggler and trunkfull
of opium cans was made early this
morning 10y Chief of Police Rogers and
Detective Cudlhee. After losing the
trail half a dozen times and picking it
up again and spending half the night
in following it from one hotel to
another the officers at last got their
hands on the suspicious trunk, and
found that instead of opium they had
been chasing trunk full of opium cans
filled with molasses and sawdust. If
it had been opium the seizure would
have amounted to $1,000. 1t was
brought here by young man named
Lane. 1t was definitely learned by the
police that Lane bought the trunk and
its contents of molasses and sawdust
from a Chinese firm in Victoria and
that he paid 81 500 for it, believing
that he had purchased the highest
grade of prepared opium. 1t was
packed exactly like the genuine article
and 1t was evident that the Cinnamon
had played confidence game on the
smuggler

Sensational Suit for Damages

SEATTLE, Feb. 4-Suit for SIS, 1000
damages for defamation Of character
was entered today by DR.. +. Plouf
against Thomas Harrison Dempsey,
formerly one Of the proprietors of the
Evening Times. Plouf alleges that
Dempsey told one Miss Carrie Shears
that Plouf had questioned the virtue of
herself and sister, and that Dempsey
induced her to attempt on October oath
to cowhide him. He claims that this
was done to iniure him in his business.
Dempsey denies having persuaded
Miss Shears to attempt to cowhide
Plouf, and says he tried to dissuade
her, but admits having told her he was
informed Plouf had slandered her. He
also accuses Plouf of having hired a
man TO do him up, and says a mau one
evening sprang from the brush with
that inten ton, and was scared with a
revolver. He says that Plouf is seek
ing TO get even because last summer at
his home on Lake Washington he and
his brother-in-law thrashed Plouf for
