Mcconnell Bros. expect to get their
store closed this week. They will ship
what stock they have left to Oshkosh
where they intend going into the same
business. They will put in a very
large stock at Oshkosh and If right
down hustling will bring them trade
they are bound to get it. They have
been in business here for seven years
and have made a great many friends
who will regret to see them leave.
Who dare say that the Indian is in
of civilization? The ex-treasurer OF the
Cherokee nation has just absconded
after robbing the treasury Of more than
half million dollars in a manner that
would make some of his white brethren
turn green with envy. He was more
cOnsiderate than some of them, how
ever, for he left about $4,000 in the
treasury when he took his departure
for regions unknown.
About : o'clock Sunday morning
fire WIS discovered in the back shed OF
the Sheridan Lumber Co.'S boarding
house Before the hose carts could be
got on the ground the entire rear
end was enyeloped in flames. By hard
work they checked the fire before it had
damaged the main part OF the building
very much. Most Of the household
goods in the main part of the building
were saved, but everything in the
kitchen and store room was burned
The house was run by L. Bruster, and
he will be the heaviest loser having but
lately added new furniture and supplies.
His loss will reach between $4,000 and
$500 90 with no insurance.
james Bardon, one OF the wealthies'
and most influential men in Northern
Wisconsin, has been working on the
matter Of forming new state Which
will embrace the head of the lake
region, and include in its boundaries
the cities of Superior and Duluth, and
the vast pine and mineral lands which
surround these cities on every side. 1t
is to be named Superior, and have the
two cities, or, under the new state, one
city, OF Duluth and Superior as capital
The proposed state Will include the
country from the Brule to the st. Croix
river and will extend to the northern
boundary of Wisconsin west OF the
Brule, and will take in all the northern
portion of Minnesota, SO as to embrace
the iron ranges in that state.
AS everybody knows, Hallow Eve,
or Halloween, as it is the fashion to
call it, is always celebrated on the 3lst'
Of October. It is the eve, or the vigil
Of the Feast OF All Saints, or Hallow-
mas, which is set down in the church
calender for Nov. l, and under the
ancient canOns was to b. observed like
Christmas eve and the viglls OF all
other feast days Of the first class, as q
season Of fasting and prayer Ill prepara-
ton for the reception of the blessings
expected to flow from q proper observ-
alce Of the feast of the following day.
lit is far more generally observed as a
season of mischief and merry games. 1t
will be well for people TO have their
gates we'll hinged, and to expect to hear
the festive tick tack Of the small boy.
-''Why does the young man riding
bicycle," asked gentleman to-day
':double himself up like q homemade
doughnut the minute he begins to
work the pedals?" Yes, and why does
a fellow when he goes to throw ball
first have to screw it into the palm
his right hand with his left, then ht
on his right foot while he bumps II
chin with his left knee before
throws? And why does man whe
he gets forty-hve dollar raw-bone,
plug, and ten dollar cart, have
rein the poor crowbait up like turtle
treading water, till it can't see the
ground in front Of it and goes along as
if trying to read the answer in the
stars? Why does girl whom nature
has given a clear and healthy com
plexion have to paint it till she can't
wink for fear Of cracking the enamel?
Why does she bang her hair like
spitz poodle and make her head like
window mop? Why, bless YOU, Its
style Just like wearing a tooth brush
in the vest p ocket few years ago
