A deer-hunt in Jefferson county!
That as an occurrence that excited
the people in the vicinity of the farm
of George Hausz, chairman Of the town
board of Koshkonong, last Sunday
afternoon. No one knows how the
deer came to be In that section at that
time. 1t made its appearance sudden

effort to capture it, After a long and
winding chase the animal Disappeared
in Heger's marsh almost as suddenly
as it had appeared No trace Of its
whereabouts has since been discovered
Small bows and larger ones, too, are
still hoping that it will show itself
again. We are indebted for these par

kindly made it point to see that we
received timely notice of hunt such

THE Northwestern field and an exciting
contest was begun. H. S. won the toss
and chose the north goal, having the
wind in their favor. n w. U. kicked
off and the ball was brought back if
teen yards by H. S. before the first
down. After successive short gains
around the ends and through the cen
Ter the H. S. left half-back finally made
a pretty run of about twenty yards
around the right end and safely landed
the oval over the n. w. U. goal line for
the first touchdown. Miller then
kicked goal and the score stood: H.
s.. 6; N w u, O. The ball was again
kicked off and Fl. S. lost it on tumble

kick goal Guenther failed, making the
score read: II. S., 6; N. w. u, 4 On
the kick off the ball was punted to N.

before Judges jenkins and Gresham,
and a decision rendered in favor of the
government. The money had in the
meantime been invested in land by

ecision was reversed to dav. The claim
ant died in the meantime hut his heirs
and wife will receive back the money

M. j. Beachy, of Elk Lick, Pa, was
in town Wednesday. He has been a
longtime successful agent for the sale
of Bradley's Standard Fertilizers,
probably the best article of its class
ever made. Besides being clever
gentleman generally, Mr.. Beachy is
specially entertaining as an agricul-
tural liuguist. HIS mind has been so
fertllized for II years by fcrtilizing
observations of the comparative fer
tilizing qualities of his own fertilizer
with other fertilizers that he knows by
heart all the fertilizing lingo that pre-
walls in the domain of fertilizing
chemicals. OF course, his own fer
tilizer is better than any other.

One Sabbath in This Town.

Senator German presented a petition ask
ing for the passage of a Sunday-rest law
Cumberland Courier.
The Senator's petitioners have doubt
less heard of the Frostburg municipal
law which fixes the corporate election
on the day after the last Sunday in
March or the first Sunday in April.
On that Sunday it is impossible for
the politician to eat, the heeler to
drink, the gentleman to nap, the Office
seeker to 60 to church, or the printer
to go to bed.
1t is the busiest day in the Frostburg
calendar.
People work that day who are too
good to read the Sunday papers.
And people seek the perishing bread
of Office on that day who are violently
opposed to Sunday trains and Sunday
mails.

unrest is that Sunday

Council should go slow as possible
in learning that part of the municipal
multiplication table which finds ex-

added salaries thus incurred are not
the least of the burdens which ensue,
but the chances for expenditure which
such occasions discover and develop
are hunted aud found. How much of
"the floating Indebtedness" lately pro-
vided for by loan was contracted at
specials" is probably movable, but
still unknown. 1t may have cost the
