have returned from their fishing trip at
Fox Lake, Wis. They caught about
twenty-five pickerel.

Conversation with wheel owners
will convince any one that the ordinary
cycler is in the habit of arising early
and dashing off thirty or forty miles by
way of getting an appetite for break
fast.
Owing to the slack season coming
on there were LOO men laid off at the
Sterling factory Friday evening. More
will follow now shortly. This is only
for the dull months in summer, which
usually lasts until about the last of
July.
Sheriff Cropley has had bigger
contract on his hands than had both
Sheriffs Stahl and Weyhe. During the
term of Weyhe there were just 176

The Wisconsin Central has ad-
dressed a long letter to Chairman Cad
we'll of the Western Passenger asso-
citation in which it defends it's rights to
make no charges for carrying bicycles,
and at the same time remain a member
of the association which the chairman
has ruled that it cannot do. 1t is not
likely that the chairman will alter his
decision, and the ruling as originally
made will stand.
May is generally regarded as the
month of suicides, it having been as
serted by statisticians that more per-
sons take their lives in May than
during any other month of the calen
dar Why this is so no one has salts
factorily explained, but the records of
each year seem to prove the truth of
the assertions. May, 1896, was no ex-
ception to this singular rule.
The man who was caught Friday
by Chief Stemm after an exciting run
was taken before Justice Slater this
morning to plead to the charge of
petty larceny. He entered plea of
guilty and was given forty days at the
Jail for a sentence. When asked his
name he replied William Fisher. 1t
was thought that he was camp fol-
lower of the circus, but he proved to be
a laborer at the docks.
Sneak thieves and buns generally
follow all circuses, but for downright
cussedness and sleek crookedness where

was at the circus with her baby. She
was approached by we'll dressed
couple who asked to take the baby.
They fondled it awhile and then offered
to return it. Mrs. Jensen took the
baby back and noticed shortly after
the strangers disappeared that two
finger rings on ore hand had disap-
peared also.
"A drummer who called lately
furnished us with copy of three new
planks which will be added to the
