Where are They AT.

Notwithstanding the order of the
town board revoking the licences Of
three of our saloonkeepers, the
places of business of the three men
are still running, and an outsider
would never have known that
there had been any change in the
affairs OF the aforesaid keepers of
saloons. Such proceedings are
absolutely sickening to people at
large. The idea that a town board
would promulgate an order that
certain places they had licensed
must close absolutely, on account Of
Ia trivial offence, and then the
absolute failure of these same
authorities to enforce their orders,
is causing people to wonder what
the Board is getting at Surely
people are justified 10 the belief that
the Board is without stamina
enough to carry out the fight they
instituted, and what good they ex-
pect to accomplish il they quit where
they are is not apparent. Their
order revoking the licenses has been
treated with absolute contempt. and
if the board believed they were right
when they made that order they
should exhibit back bone enough to
carry it into effect; or if they believe
they were wrong, they should possess
the spirit of fairness enough to re-
woke their order. As it is they are
hardly making better than common
laughing stock of themselves
Mostly anybody could accomplish as
much as they have, notwithstanding
that they have the. law on their
side, and four big, able bodic d
policemen at their disposal TO see
that their will is done

An Oyster at a Church Supper.

The genial Col P. Ell. Swift, editor
of the Rice Lake Leader, is respons-
ible for the following notice.
A travelling man at the Genesco
House Sunday evening said that he
had had strange experience at
a church supper on a recent evening.
He said that he kept crumbling
crackers into bowl of oyster soup
and to his intense surprise they kept
disappearing He made hasty eX-
animation, and found that by some
accident an oyster had COTTON into
the soup, and being gaunt and fam
ished, had eaten up the oysters as
fast as he had crumbled them. -
Hayward Republican,
That fellow deserved hard luck;
he ought to have known that it is
very bad form to crumble crackers
into soup, and it served him right
that the oyster got the best of him.

In official circles matters are be-
ing put in shape for the advent of
the new county officers, who will
take hold on the first Monday of
January, being the 7th day of the
month. Sheriff Sullivan will give
way to his successor, T.. TT. Lien,
and the latter will move his family
Into the county Jail, while Mr.. Sui
Ivan and family will occupy the
residence recently purchased by
them. MIR. Sullivan has made a
very popular sheriff, and his success
or will find that he will have a hard
pace to follow. Mr.. Sullivan will
engage in business in the city. Clerk
of Court George McClintock has
been one of the most popular Of
ficials the county has ever had, and
his friends are counted by the
number of his acquaintance. MIR.
McClintock is undecided as to what
he will do, but after making trip
through the west will probably re-
turn to Washburn and engage in
some line of business. The new
Clerk of Court will be +. a. Bell, Of
Iron River. The gentleman is well
known in WaShburn, and he and his
family will be welcome additions to
the community 1t is understood
that the new County Treasurer, Mr..
A. HI. Wilkinson, will retain his
residence at Bayfield,, and it is prob
able that Ell. p Axelberg will con
tinue as deputy, ard give his ac-
tive attention to the work. Mr.
Wilkinson and Mr.. Axelberg will
both be popular as members of the
official family of the county. Geo.
A. White will continue as deputy
county clerk under Mr.. Froseth.
which will be very gratifying to Mr..
Whites many friends. Other
matters in the Office of Regis of
Deeds, Geo. A. Calder will remain
the same as at present. Everything
bids fair for very well conducted
state Of affairs for the coming two
years.
The public and parochial schools
were closed Monday and Christmas
day. There will be no further vaca-
ton, as the school authorities feel
that SO much time has been lost that
every possibl IN aute must be nss9e
up.

OFFICE OF SUPERVISOR OF CENSUS.
NINTH DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN.
Ellsworth, Wis, Dec %, 1900.
To THE DIRECTOR OF THE CENSUS:
Wocbinpton n r.


SHIT has come to my notice
that enumeration districts No. %
and "a, Bayfield, County, should, in
giving the population thereof, be re-
ported as one, viz:-the town of
Washburn. Itappears there is no
incorporated Village of Washburn,
although s. noted in the plan of
division into enumeration districts
by the Cencus Department. Re
porting each separately will there
fore be misleading, as the two com
bined form what is known as the
town of Washburn. My attention
has just naSs. been called to This
Discrepancy and it is deemed emin-
nent the Department should be adj
vised in order that if possible, the
proper population may be given to
the Town of Washburn, which
would really be that contained in
enumeration districts No.!23 and "a
of Bayfield, County, Wisconsin.
Very respectfully,
j. b. JENsoN.
The matter is also receiving the
atten ton of Messrs. n. M. Oscar
and H. T. Engoe, who took the cen
sus here.

Mac Doyle and Max Helmer surely
ought to make a success Of running
the Opera House, as Mac has been
in theatrical business, and was once
a star himself, and as to the other
part of the firm, he is thoroughly up
on theatrical performances, and
knows the wheat from the chaff, and
the good from the poor. Who
knows but what one of them will
eventually rival the famous Jacob
Lift, or that in future years when
the name Of the theatrical king is
mentioned that it may be Helmer
or Doyle, There is nothing to good
for the boys, and they ought to and

THE TIMES must have stirred
things up little ia it's last issue, if
the amount of comment brought
forth by the article on the revoking
OF the three saloon keepers licences,
is fair indication. If THE TINES
did not hit the popular chord then
we are no judge of public sentiment.
1t was reported to us that one of the
members of the town board, who
felt particularly agrieved, would re-
ply to the article through an Ash
land paper, but as yet the reply has
not appeared. 1t is but natural
that an Ashland paper should be
chosen, as it was to that city that
the patriotic member went to get
his tickets printed that elected him
last spring. And when supervisor
advocates closed policy he is still
working for Ashland Why this
sympathy and concern for the town
across the bay?

A. half column communication has
reached THE TINES regarding the
issue of the revoking Of saloon
licenses by the town board, aud par
ticularly referring to the comments
made by the last issue of this paper.
When THE TINES speaks on an
issue it always expects to stand by
it's remarks, and the writer Of news
paper communications should Go the
same. No matter how much merit
there might be in the communication
it is alike unto all anonymous com
munications in the respect that no
newspaper would publish it, The
author will no doubt see this. and
we would say to him that ii he has
the courage OF his convictions and
will sign his name to his communal
cation that it will appear in the next
number Of THE TINES. otherwise it
will likely 'arpear' ~ the waste
