BADGER.

Badger, Jan. We understand
that Mr.. Fisher. who has been
teaching the Peck school, has ten
dered his resignation. -
John D. Powers. OF Mitchell, was
out to the new town Of LOOMS a few
days ago doing some insurance bust
ness.
n. b. Showers. representing a
Sioux City wholesale grocery house.
was the first commercial tourist to
stop of at LOOMS to solicit business
from the merchants. He inquired
the way to the Smith brothers store,
which he found in the hands of the
carpenters and progressing rapidly
toward completion. 1t will Don be
ready for the stock Of goods to arrive.
Joining their store on the north
the Smith brothers are erecting a
building l6x24, n story and a half
high. with cottage windows. hard
wood floors. and yellow pine finish.
which they tell all inQuirers will be
used in which to store empty
boxes.
The social event of the season in
Badger was the oyster supper given
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. D..
Watkins. on Thursday evening of last
week. II was very much enjoyed by
the young people. Mr.. Watkins's
house, according to our way Of think
ing. is the best one in the township.
1t is heated with a furnace and has
all the modern improvements. and
no doubt the family take all the
comfort possible in their new home.
Mr.. Slade has been away on a pros
pecting trip, hunting for a new To-
cation. He has visited, Missouri,
Kansas, and Nebraska, but we have
not as yet heard whether he found
a place to suit him.
The all-absorbing question at the
present time is: Will LOOMS have
postothce? OF that there can be car
be no doubt. but who will be the
postmaster it is difficult to say. The
Smith brothers circulated a petition
asking that a postoffice be estab.
lished, which received the signature:
of about 20 wouldbe patrons. An
other petition was circulated which
contained the same number Of names
asking that Joe Smith be appointed
postmaster. Then another petition
was put into circulation asking tina
George Harris be given the appoint
ment. This was signed by about
dozen persons, some being so anXiou
for the Office that they signed boil
petitions. Then it is rumored tina
Mr.. Barlow has aspirations alons
that line, and through a politica
pull he expects to secure the appoint
ment. notwithstanding who get
the position the public can res
assured, that the affairs of Uncle San
will be~well managed, as all of tn,
candidates are well qualified to I'll
| the duties Of the position.

PRINTING.
The C~omposi:ors Are staid and Dig
ni6ed and Never Rush.

A font Of type in the Chinese Ian
guage requires 1900 spaces. and in
the large and spacious rack each word,
instead OF each letter, as in English,
has a place by itself. There is also a
peculiar grouping or classification Of
symbols into groups to further facii-
tate the mental labors Of the typeset-
tiers. Thus. III the immediate vicinity
Of the symbol for fish would be found
the symbols of scales. net, fms, tail,
gills. This simplifes the labor. which
In any event must be so that
1t is evident that the compositor's end
Of the Chinese newspaper should. if
perfect justice ruled. be the highest
paid.
The compositor is a staid and digni-
fed individual, and as he slowly walks
from symbol to symbol. picking up
those which he requires with proyok-
ing ~calmness, the American compositor
might well wonder when the work
would be completed, and TO set up the
type required for a small four page
daily paper the constant labors Of eight
or nine skilled Cinnamon are required
for twelve Or thirteen hours, the entire
work in every department being the
antipodes Of the rush and whirl and
marvellous celebrity Of the modern
American publication. When the pa
per is set up, it IS printed on N Amer,
lean press. but the type, the symbols,
are all made in China.

the plan for increasing the gravity
pressure at the city water works.
The plans were made and drawn by
Engineer Nelson who is certainly an
mittee was authorized to make the
Improvement. The plan is TO place
a half circle water pipe in the water
works fuiIding and connect it with
both sides OF the pump which is used
for pumping into the reservoir. Its
highest point in the house vii! reach
the ceiling. II is to be 50 constructed
that instead Of pumping the water
direct into the reservoir from the
wells a portion Of the water will be
pumped into the mains, though with
not full pressure on that part. and
part going through the scmi-circle
into the reservoir. When the water
reaches the highest point in the
semi-circle pipe it will give addition
al force to the gravity pressure, and
it will be the means Of forcing the
water into tanks in the houses in the
highest part Of the city. This will
be a splendid Improvement for the
consumers OF water In the city and

the collection OF expenses incurred

year as the result Of sickness. when
the understanding is that the Oc-
cupants Of the pest house must pay
their own expenses when they are
financially able.
