One of the noticeable things about this
Congress is the fact that the Democratic
party is not bowling because Democratic
congressman are being turned out of
their seats for fraud. Yet in oil proba-
bility as many will be turned out as were
turned out in the 51st Congress. But be
cause the Republican majority was mar
row then it was possible to make many
people believe that the ejectments were
for partisan purposes. Now, az the Re-
publican majority is SO large as to make
such charge absurd, nothing is said.
But the wrongs being righted now are
no more glaring than the wrongs that
were r1ghred in the 51st. The circum-
stances of the case only are different.

Woman never SO fully demonstrates

A FOOLS mouth is his worst enemy.
1t is extremely distressing to see a

A great many people spend their
lives in vain regrets for the supposed
loss of something they never had.
People who amount to anything gen.
orally have all the room essential to
their development.
Woman's weakness is really her
strength, because it prompts every
man to protect her against all corners
but himself, and if she has any gump-

Men who pretend to drink for their

Glass OF 'oE Entertains.

The reception and party in Pomain-
ville's Hall last evening given by the
Glass of 1891, Howe High School, was
beyond question a bright event, and
one of the prettiest evenings of festive
enjoyment that the four walls of that
popular social gathering place have ever
compassed Decorations were confined
to the southeast corner of the room,
modest yet rich, where, above the
handsome silken H. H. S. banner were
set the figures 81 trimmed with the
Class colors, olive green and shrimp
pink. Around this a wreath of smilaX.
Beneath the banner a table upon which
rested punch bowl set in profuse
bed Of carnations and smllax. This
little nook was most hastily arranged
and the agreeable flavor of the beverage
within that bowl made it a place
frequently sought.
The committee on reception included
the entire class with the exception of
LOUIS a. Bernier, who WAS unable to be
present. Mr.. Will Wheelan, class Of
'SS, acted as Master of Ceremonies.
The committee received from eight to
nine o'clock, when the floor was
cleared and merry dancers kept time to
the strains of the Symphony Mandolin
orchestra for two hours.
Luncheon was then served in the
dance room, tables being prettily
adorned with carnations and roses
which the guests found at each of the
plates for souvenirs. Mr.. John Brun

while goodies" tickled the palate ana
about an hour was passed attable.
Again the floor was cleared and

1t is Il very interesting and pleasing
sight to see the immense amount of
spruce, poplar and fuel wood near the
paper mill at this place. 1t requires
acres of ground upon which to pile it
and some of the piles are higher than
the two story buildings near by. The
Company books show that they have
purchased about 1900 cords this winter
for which they have paid out large sums.
About $4,000 has been paid to the
farmers round about this village.
Active operations have commenced
tins week to enlarge the paper mill to
its full capauity-that of four paper
machines. \ large crew of men are
eNcavating and doing preparatory work.
The ground is staked ont for the new

will commence next week if the
