NEWS AROUND THE COUNTY
Some Bruce News.

r. A. Austin had tract Of land
southeast of Bruce cleared last spring,
and the crop raised on it this summer
is an undeniable proof of the ferti-
lily of the soil. On May 10th he
had it sowed to alsike clover and
oats. The alsike averaged about five
feet high, and the oats fodr feet.
All farmers know that the first crop
on new land is never representative
crop. If land will produce grass
and grain like the above the first
year, what can be expected of it af-
ter it has been under cultivation for
a few years? AS we have remarked
many times before, farming in this
country is no experiment.
Last Saturday night excitement
prevailed at Amacoy Lake. A son
of H. M. Clark went into the woods
after the cows AS he did hot return
at the usual time, his father went in
search of him. The night was in
tensely dark and Mr.. Clark neglected
to carry a lantern. He too failed to
return. Then the school house bell
was kept ringing until midnight, when
the lost ones came out of the woods.
K. Zillhart has commenced getting
material on the ground for his house
and barn on his tract of land south
east of Bruce.
r. A. Austin has commenced work
on another dwelling on tract of his
land in 20-34-7, four miles southeast
Of Bruce.
For months passed the basement of
the school house has had water in it
nearly deep enough to drown out the
fire in the furnace. Is there a person
in Bruce who even dreams that the
Hathaway ditch will remove the water
from the school house basement?
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Phipps of Hud-
son, arrived in Bruce Wednesday eve
ming and are the guests of the Pierponts
at Beldenville while on their way to
New Hampshire, where they will be the
guests of Senator and Mrs. J. c. Spoon
er at their summer home.
Archie Barrett was down to Eau
Claire the latter part Of last week.
Mrs. c.. P. Coon arrived here from
Hudson last Thursday night. Bruce

sNAILS OVERRUN A CITY.
Inh abitants of Indiana Town Organ. ise Night Hunts and XIII
 the Pests with Salt.


 A plague of snails, or slugs, as the af' hicted people call them, lately struck Jeffersonville, Ind, in full force, and rrstances are cited where persons have been compelled to move. Their first appearance was after the flood of Fab- ruary, 1884, but they have never been SO bad ss at present. The pests are not exactly like B snail, but resemble them in some respects. They have no shells and are night raiders, says the New York World.
 At no place in the city where the flood water failed to reach has one of the slugs been seen, but in the most fashionable quarters the pests are numerous. In size they range from one to six inches In length, being from quarter to an inch in diameter. It Is not until ten o'clock at night that the snails come out of their hiding places. under houses, and slug hunting parties have become fashionable.
 Armed with lamp and cup of salt, the people hunt for the pest. aud when . slug is found it's days are numbered. for the smallest particle of salt means death. The more salt the quicker the work.
 They leave behind shiny track. that furnishes a clew to their movements. Tn some places fine carpets have been ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid.
 One of the most peculiar character isttcs of the slugs Is their ability to get their large bodies through small space. They fatten out almost as thin as A knife blade. allowing them to srsWi through good sized door crack. .;

WE STATED FACTS

The ARGUS has received many
letters of congratulations from prom.
inent Republicans for its editorial
on "The Ring" Many have called
in person to congratulate US and as
sure us that what we said about the
Ring was most accurate and truthful.
We endeavor 20 chew 10 tho line,
let the chips fall where they will"
For years we have called the aiten
ton TO the rank and file OF the party
that they had no more voice in The
nomination Of their State and county
ticket than the Democrats The
Ring meets and decides who shall
run for Office and who shall not
Then the trusty hcncemen are tnld
TO go TO their respective district aud
tell the faithful that they must vote
for such men as they selected. II
they demur they are told that they
must stand by The Republican organ
ization which has has done so much
for toe country. If they protest
they are told that they are not LOYAL
Republicans unless they "votc the
straight ticket from President TO
constable" Ii they should become
stubborn and kick they are served
with a notice to get out of the party
as they do not want "kickers," dds
organizers" and "soreheads."
The fact is that the Republicans
of Preston have been bluffed and
browbeat by the Ring. The Ring
could have been beaten years ago il
the Republicans would get together
and stand up for their rights. But
the Ring singles out one man at a
time and silences him by reading
him out of the party. This makes
others timid and they imagine the
Ring is all powerful. Not so. The
Ring is weakling and can be lick
ed out of its boots if the rank and
file will unite and stand shoulder to
shoulder. This is all that is necess-
airy to defeat the Ring.
A political ring is dangerous
thing to have in county, State and
Nation. AS long as they exist the
people have no rights which the
Ring considers worthy Of respect.

THE POLITICAL MACHINE.

The ARGUS has labored long and
earnestly TO convince the people Of
the iniquities and injustice Of the
new tx laws. Miny who differed
with il ON account OF politics hon
estly believed that rHE ARGUS was
prompted by political motives IN
condemning the new tax laws. But
such was not the case, and as the
assessor is now going among the
PeOp:e and assessing their property
they are learning that what THE AR.
Gus has said about the tax laws has
not been misrepresentation of
them, but on the other hand that
they are even worse than The AR
GUS has pictured them. The num-
erous letters which are coming TO
The ARGUS from day TO day is a
self evident fact ihat the people at
last are Beginning 10 realize that there
IS to be an enormous increase in
their taxes under the new tax laws
1t IS an old saying that 60 con
vince man against his will he is Of
the same opinion still" This has
been largely the trouble with many
OF the farmers and laboIing people.
They could not believe that a polit-
ical party which they had been SUP
porting for years would betray them
in this manner. But as we have
pointed out time and again this has
all been brought about by a lot of
INSCRIPTIONS politicians who have
gotten hold of the organization and
formed combination by which they
have been using the Republican par
ty to"feather their own nest" They
care nothing for the rank aud file of
the Republican party. These poll.
,icians have built up a political ma
chine in West Virginia, patterned
after the Quay machine of Pennsyl.
vania, and they levy tribute upon
the corporations to support them, in
return for which they agree to pass
such laws as will be in the interest
of the corporations. This will ex.
plain to many how the new tax laws
came to be passed. A political ma
chine without a large campaign
fund cannot exist any more than a
fish can live out of water. Thus the
West Virginia machine has been
imposing upon the rank and file of
the Republican party for years.
The rank and file of the party being
honest they considered it their duty
to support their party without ask
ing any questions.
1t should always be borne in mind
by the people that a political ma
chine has no poliiicS. 1t is simply
an outlaw organization within itself
sailing under false colors 10 deceive
the people. It's stock in trade is to
appeal to The political prejudice of
the people and deceive them and al
the same time bleed the corporations
and compel them to form an alliance
with them whereby they can both
rob the people. The question is
how long are the people going to
stand Tor robbery If they con.
tlnue to vote blindly on political
bias and prejudice they may expect
the political machine to reap the
harvest while they pay the tax.
Now we would ask our Republi-
can friends, for THE ARGUS has
many Of them which it esteems
highly, 10 give what we have said
due consideration and investigate
the matter for themselves and de-
eide whether we have misrepresented
this matter of the political machine.

NOT HARMONIOUS.

Everything Is not harmonious in
Taylor county among the Republi
can brethren that would warrant
Bro. Bolden to wander into other
counties seeking congressional news
as the press agent. The appoint
ment Of our genial friend Whisper
ing Willie" Ovens, the United States
Express agent at Grafton, as Deputy
Stamp Collector, has caused a Juror
OF excitement and resentment among
tae loyal sons Of the Pie Wagon.
We fear that the Taylor county Re
pubIicans are uumindful Of the fact
that the United States Express Com
Pany is one of the large corporations
that IS not averse to helping a friend
in need, and they necessarily look
to their friends to cast a stone in
their cornfeld when the 'coons are
making a raid on their roasting ears.
We trust the Taylor county Repub-
licans will not become too demon
s'rative over The appointment Of
our melodious voiced friend Ovens.
He is from the State Of Ohio where
our distinguished junior Senator
Nathan Bay Scott halls from.

Mr.. Teeter was the first to be put TO

ial Senator Stark Baker TO "nIght."
They have been keeping the good
work up and at the present time
there are very few, if any. now
holding a State or National govern
ment position who supported MIR.
Ieeter. From reports just published
every man in the Internal Revenue
Service who opposed the nomination
OF Mr.. Dawson have been told to
pack their grip and return home for
a season Of rest. The only thing
left for the Teeter men to do is to
join IN chorus: "What are the wild
waves saying, Billy Dawson ?"
