w. T. Jones Disappointed.

From the following taken from
the Milwaukee sentinel Wednesday. it
will appear that our friend and neighbor
W. I. Jones, will not be appointed
revenue collector with headquarters at
Madison, which fact is discomforting to
his friends as we'll as himself:
NJ. F. Blqmenfeld, son of the editor
of "Weltbuerger" the Germans -Ameri-
can Democratic weekly paper at
Watertown. will succeed Gen. Earl
Rogers as collector of internal revenue
for this district as soon as Senator Villas
can 90 through the formality of having
President Cleveland announce the
appointment after he arrives in Wash
ington next week. The statement is
warranted in the opinion of gentlemen
interested and sufficiently near to the
principals to know. Col. Villas went to
Watertown last Friday, and it is claimed
on invitation of local leaders there who
have tired of the delay and Wearied of
the rivalry between the local Watertown
factions for the spoIls. It is further
alleged that Watertown political laws
were laid before him, and he came
home to consider the matter which has
caused him no end of trouble. Mr..
Blumenfeld came to Madison last
evening, it is claimed On Invitation. and
was closeted with the Senator at his
residence this morning. Mutual friends
say the matter is settled. The appointee
is young man of pFepossessing ways,
little known outside of WatertoWn.
Senators Voss and Solliday are credited
here with a turning down by this
arrangement,

Financial Matters.

| 1t is significant fact that the Twin
Cities are making a record that we have
reason to be proud of IN the troubulous
tunes that are passing. We have some
times heard our business men rated for
| their canton, and called "old fogies"
and we are reminded in the present
financial struggle of the story of the
| hare and the tortoise. Some of the
"Hustlers" of neighboring cities are
| closing their doors and suspending
payments. Our banks and business
houses pursue the even tenor of their
| way apparently as strong as the rock of
Gibraltar. There are in these cities
three banks whose assets aggregate
upward of SSO0,O0OO0. The stock
holders as we'll as the officials of these
three banks are wealthy, conservative
citizens whose financial interests are in
common with the business men of the
Twin Cities. For population of about
1000 people our banks have an excep-
tionally strong showing.
The business interests have not been
doomed or built up on foreign capital
and conservative policy has been the
rule. With the exception of recent
failure in the brewery business and one
other, where a young man, inexper-
fenced and without capital or income,
launched out in diverse ways of money
spending and extravaganza that
exceeded his Investments and resulted
in a speedy closing up of his affairs by
an assignment, we must 60 back
single failure in business. We need
not be boastful and yet it is matter of
congratulation that a feeling of conf
dence reigns here. Business is
uninterrupted and banker, merchant
and professional man are all united in
their efforts to meet the requirements
of the times squarelv. Labor has not
been hampered by strikes or left in
enforced idleness. One thingis suggest
i've of the spirit of fairness that prevails
there is no shirking of responsibility,
no putting off and resorting to the laws
delay to gain time. That business
obligations must be met promptly, and
even small bills that will in the aggregate
embarass and cripple prosperous firms
if they accumulate, is fairly recognized
hence bills are paid up and money kept
in circulation.
1t is idle to speculate on the causes or
indulge in empty recriminations while
we fail to do our full duty. Nowhere in
the state are business affairs less
untrammeled by outside influences or
backed by more sound policy. Let
every citizen of the Twin Cities exert
himself to meet obligations great and
small and we shall have no cause for
alarm.

JUDGE LONGS PENSION STOPPED
Lost an Arm and Was Wounded
Otherwise.

Detroit, Mich, July o2.--The most
sensational thing that has yet come to
light relative to the so-called purging OF
the pension lists is the suspension of a
no less distinguished pensioner than
Justice Charles Dean Long. of the
Michigan Supreme court. Few soldiers
in this state suffer from wounds as
severe rs those of Justice Long.
At the battle of Wilmington Island.
Ca, he lost his left arm, and he was also
shot through the hips and abdomen.
This latter wound has still to be
dressed twice daily. Although the order
of suspension bears date of June 81.
Mr.. Long has not yet received official
notice of its insurance. The notice of
suspension is brief formal document,
and gives no clew as to the reasons that
have Influenced the course of the de-
partment. The order gives the pension
certificate number, which shows that
there could have been no mistake or
confusion of names.-Toledo Blade.

Death Of Nicholas Gross.

Nick Gross, an old resident of the
town of Plover, whose residence was
about four miles west of the village,
died very suddenly on Wednesday of
this week. He was working on the
''big meadow" south of Ployer, and his
death is supposed to have been caused
by heart disease ife was fifty-eight
years of age, and was a member OF
Plover Post No. 40. He leaves wife
and seven children. He was apparently
perfectly we'll until the time of his
death; in fact he was talking with his
sons, who were with him on the marsh
when he stopped suddenly At first
they supposed he had tainted, but a
closer examination showed that he was
dead. The funeral took place Friday
afternoon from his house, with inter
ment in Plover cemetery, according to
the rites of the Grand Army.-S.evens

The deceased Was we'll known in this
city and highly thought of by all those
who enjoyed his acqu aintance.

Mr.. Frank Carley, proprietor OF the
store in the post-office building, sold
out Tuesday to Mr.. Geo. Brazeau who
is now in possession and will sell you
anything in his line as cheap as the
cheapest. Mr.. Carley has not decided
yet just what he will do but his friends
are in hopes that he will remain in the
city.
Geo. Brazeau was born in Grand
Rapids and needs no introduction to
the readers of the REPORTER at our

behind a counter and will be found OBJ

He is agreeable and pleasant with his
patrons and in every way deserving.
We bespeak for him success.

PatrOniZe Home Industries,

depends on the individual Influences of
It's citizens, and the fruits of every day :,
individual transactions furnish the
basis for the success or failure of enter
prlses. There is responsibility and
duty one cannot shirk or evade and be
good citizen. The first duty of every
one who cares for the city's good is to
patronlze home Industries. If Won
need new furniture 60 to the home
establishments and if they have in
stock the required article give them the
order; or if they have not and it will
suit your convenience, let them order
for you, thus increasing their business
transactions and financial credit. If
manufactured goods can be ordered
from home factory always give them
your trade. If you want suit of
clothes go to your home tailor. If boots
or shoes, support the city shoe store.
If jewel, watch OF any article kept

FOREST FIRES.

The copious rains of the past week
have put out the forest fires and a feel
ing of safety succeeds the anxiety and
fear that has kept the farmers near
home for the past fortnight No
fatalities have been reported. A num-
Der of families living in the vicinity OF
the forest fires near Hanson and along
the line of the Valley railroad moved
their household goods out of theil
houses, but managed to turn the fires
SO that they saved both houses and
goods ultimately. The hay crop was re-
duced to half it's estimated worth by
drowth throughout the county, now the
meadows have been burned over in a
large section of the western portion
still further cutting down the supply.
From the C. NJ. & st. P. railroad to the
G. B. w. & st. P. railroad embracing
hundreds of acres of marsh land the
fires have ragged. Large forces of men
have been sent out whose efforts were
directed to fighting fires from the vine
bearing portions of the cranberry
marshes. The main patches have been
saved though the losses will foot up in
to the thousands.
Cranberry growers say that with
losses by fire drouth and the worm the
crop will not exceed q quarter of the
estimate placed on it six weeks ago.
The rain came too late to be efectual,
although greatly decreasing the
damages,

FRIEND FoNTAISE.-Wishing to con.

the eminent success of your crusade, as
democrats, against the rich, and in favor
of the poor and needy, now that the
success of that crusade is so apparent,

the multitude.

needy. No longer do we read ef the

party is in power, and no one need
suffer. No longer are such men as
Senators Villas and Jehn +. Mitchell,
the latfef 4 reformed bum, elected to
op,ttice because of the riches they
possess. It is true the rich are fast be-
ing deprived of their ill=gatten gains by
the enormous depreciation of the value
of property, more than three billions of
dollars in value having been taken off
since the accession to power Of that
dear old party. But then, let the rich
suffer. The happiness and comfort of
the poor is assured. Nearly one half of
the working men Of the lsand are hay
ing 9 vacation; Plenty of time now for
picnics: No occasion now to fret over
unpaid bills and debts. Credit un-
bounded universal joy and happiness.
The President has announced that the
corrupt and venal act, through the
operation OF which four or five states
were made prosperous, will be repealed,
but nothing is said about the Robber

Lists Gypsy PrOteEe.

The great pianist, who was passion
ately fond Of the gypsies, once endeav-
ored to educate and civilize a gypsy lad,
but failed ANONYMOUSLY. The wild spir-
it of the nature of countless generations
could not be tanned, and though as a
child liking the novelty of the new life
the young gypsy submitted, but with a
bad grace, to the instruction OF the
teacher List provided, he soon broke
loose, and became arrogant and inor
dinately ~conceited. However, his I'M
tutored playing was excellent, and he
became the pet Of those foolish women
in society who are eve on the lookout
for some new craze to feed their Eighty
craving after variety. Soon the child OF
nature pined for the freedom of the fields
and savagery, and so he went. He ran
away three times and was brought back,
and then List let him go for good.
In after years he turned up again IN
one of the numerous wandering gypsy
orchestras, but he was only then a medi-
OGRE Disqualification had actually

Weed Maps in Germany.

The Germans have some educational
ideas which we in this country have Dor
rowed with profit, and there are still
others which we might be wise to adopt.
Among theln no doubt are the wall
maps Of different species Of pestiferous
weeds, which hang in schoolrooms where
the children can see them as long as they
go to school.
A practical idea underlies the display
ing Of these maps. It is well known
that farmers are prone to treat all weeds
alike, and hardly to observe any differ
ence between them, whereas the natures
of weeds differ as much as the natures
of other plants do, and the sort of
treatment which will exterminate one
will sometimes increase and multiply
another.
1t is important therefore that the farm
er and gardener should understand the
weeds which they are trying to exterml-
nate.
1t is here that these German wall
maps come in. They show colOred pic
lures of the most pestiferous weeds, in
all stages of growth, and also the ways
in which they scatter their seeds and
propagate themselves. By learning them
thoroughly, through seeing them day by
day on the walls, the child grows up
with acknowledge Of the best way to OK
terminate them.-Youth's Companion.

The Wearing of Rings

ut Is a constant surprise to me-" said
. man tho other day, ''that a woman
with a palpably ugly hand will call
everybody's attention to 1t by hanging
her fingers with sparkling rings. A GER
tain intuitive vanity that is common to
and women alike ought to teach
her better. Freckles, big knuckles and
ugly or i'll kept nails are all accentuated
by snowy rings. I've seen a woman
whose rough, red hand must be her
ever present thorn in the flesh load it
with big diamonds, the white sparkle
and dull gold setting of which intensi-
fed the redness and coarseness Of the
fingers they encircled. I long to tell
such a n to put her jewels at her
throat, on her arms, in her hair-any-
where but on her hands.
"In contradiction to this / recall a
woman Of my acquaintance who has a
small brown hand like a gypsy's. She
has evidently studied its limitations, for
she wears never more than one mig, and
that always of odd design. I've seen her
wear a black pearl sunk in dull silver, a
hoop of carbuncles or an old English
ring of hammered gold, but she oftenest
wears a superb alexandria that shows
black in some lights and deep seagreen
in others. l always applaud her wisdom
liz banishing pearls, emeralds and dia-
monds or any conventional styles from
her ring box."-Her Point Of View in

A Delicate and Dangerous Treatment.

A certain cure for freckles is carbolic
acid. and its effects are not only certain,
but quick. The skin must first be washed
thoroughly in warm water, and then
dried with a soft towel. Each freckle,
or bunch of them, must be dealt with
separately. Stretch the skin with the
fingers, and touch the freckle with a
drop of pure carbolic acid. Allow this
to dry on the skin, and in a few minutes
it will burn and grow white. The skin
thus burned will fall off in a week or
so, and leave a new rosy white skin in
place Of the freckle. To prevent burns
from being very painful and from leav-
ing a bad scar on the skin, the blisters
formed should be pierced with a silk
thread soaked in sublimate solution.
Leave the thread in position while the
outside of the blister is covered with a
10 per cent. solution Of iodoform vase
line. Fresh salve should be applied
daily, and no pain will be experienced,
and severe contraction and wrinkling
| of the skin after the wound is healed
| will be prevented.-Yankee Blade.
