NEW FIRM.
A Combination that will Draw {
Large Trade.

a new firm was organized on October
1st, in Centralia, for the purpose Of
carrying on general merchandise
business. The firm consists of Messrs.
Ben Hanson, Henry Timul and Chas.
Briere, who will do business under the
firm name of Hanson, Timm & Briere
The two first named are already well
known to the trade in the Twin Cities
for they have been employed for
several years past as clerks with the
largest firm in Wood county-that of
Johnson, Hill & Co. Mr.. Hanson was
also clerk for some time in the general
merchandise store Of Geo. A. Corriveau,
while Henry Timm severed his connec-
with c. H. Nilsson & Co. to enter
business for himself. They are both
popularly known here and are obliging
and courteous to all those with whom
they come in contact. While Mr..
Briere has not been schooled in the
mercantile business he is man of ripe
judgment. His business training has
been that of a shrewd, careful and close
buyer, and his business judgment and
capital will prove an excellent balance
wheel in this new organization. We
can see no reason why this new firm
should not get their full share of the
trade and prove to be strong combi-
nation for business. We extend our
good wishes for the prosperity and
success of the new firm. See their new
advertisement in this issue of the
REPORTER.

HIGH PRAISE AND CENsURE.
Minor Moore Denis Out Both in tn,
Case of Officers.

The Commissioners have before them for
final action the papers in the trial of Pri-
Yates ]. W. Blaisdell. r. T. Payne and W.
W. MendenhaI of the police force recently
tried for gross neglect of duty. They were
all found guilty of leaving their respective
beats. and the trial board recommended
their dismissal.
Major Moore in endorsing the findings
says:
Finding approved. As to the recommen-
dalton for the removal Of these men, have
no hesitation in expressing my concurrence.
This entire community has been, and
still is. terrorized by a series of depreda-
lions of the boldest and most despicable
character. AS soon as they were developed
every possible measure was taken TO bring
TO justice the perpetrators. and the good
and faithful men of the force willingly res
ponded to my appeal that they should use
every effort 70 arrest the scoundrels. / am
grateful to the officers who have diligent-
ly and faithfully worked to this end, regard
less of hours. These defendants, however,
have deliberately made themselves excep-
tions-grossly neglecting duty, they left
their beats uncovered and the citizens under
their care at the mercy Of desperadoes.
The accused have proved themselves un-
worthy Of confidence. and should not be
allowed longer to wear police badge. which
ought to be synonym Of fidelity and
trustworthiness.'

A GOOD STORY TELLER.
Assistant Secretary Grant Gives Som,
Interesting "Reminiscences.

Assistant Secretary Grant has a very
high admiration for Gov. Rusk's character,
which. he said. was marked by a sturdy
honesty OF purpose in everything he I'M
dertook. He was not so particular as to
the manner of doing a thing" said Gen
Grant. provided always, however, 1t was
done honorably." He was not Intimately
acquainted with Gen. Rusk, but knew him
sufficiently well to esteem him highly.
Gen. Rusk was a great deal of a joker
and Is credited with many good stories.
"One of these" Gen. Grant said Il heard
soon after 1 first arrived in Washington
1t may be old. but it's still good. 1t ran
something like this: He was talking about
the hotels and eating houses with a young
man who claimed to know all about them,
and In the course Of the conversation the
young man spoke of his great fondness
for beefsteaks smothered in onions 1t
was source OF regret with him, however
that he could not indulge his taste in that
direction and maintain his standing in So
ciety, because the dish made his breath
offensive. Gen. Rusk seemed to be very
much impressed with the young mans
social troubles, but after a minute 8
thought frightened up and said: I'll tell
You what to do. You go to Chamberln's
You know where 1t is. They smother
beefsteak in onions in fine style. You cat
one of their steaks, and take my word for
1t when you get the bill it will take your
breath away, so that society will have 70
tauit to find on that score q"
