An exchange says a maa was
around last week and induced a
large number Of people to bite at a
suckers game. He told them by
paying a membership fee of ST.,
they could send to Chicago and get
all kinds of goods, from one-third
to one-half cheaper than they could
at home. But when they come to
get a catalogue and compare prices
they were just as high as at home.
As a result of his work he got
nearly $500. One or two such
games should teach people to
pGronize their home merchants.
State journal: Miss Ethel Dow,
daughter Of Robe Dow, cashier Of

HIGH water is causing much
damage slong Rock River. Turtle
Creek, one of It's largest tributaries,
has raised five feet near Janesville,
and the dams at Turtleville and
Shopiere were washed away. Rail-
way bridges along the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway are being
guarded by gangs of section men
armed with pike poles to steer ice
foes away. The wagon bridge
spanning Spring Brook, in the
southern part of Janesville, was
wrecked The Rock River above
that city has risen about two feet,
and the ice has not yet broken up.
The following item is going the
rounds Of the papers: A mean man
in Galena dropped a valentine into
the post-office addressed to the
prettiest girl in town. The post
master advertised it and the next
day had four hundred and eighty
three calls for it. So many girls
called at the same time that the
postmaster didn't have nerve
enough to give it to any of them.
The result is that every girl in
GaIena between the ages of fifteen
and forty-two is mad at the post
master and buys her stamps at the
drug stores just to spite him.
