] Aug. Maibach, the west side barber,
| paid an election bet this noon by wheel
| ing VIM. Sweeney from the west side to
the Bells House, paying for the dinner
of three and wheeling Sweeney back
! to the west side. The bet was made

1t is courtesy to your guests to see
that their names appear in the local
newspaper. 1t is due to your friends
and yourself that, when visiting, their
names should appear in the paper.
Someone in the family should inform

by human hands and brains and if items
concerning yourself or your friends do
not appear, it is largely your fault. No
newspaper worker is omnipresent.
Sing a song of pestilence, fellow
full of rye, four and twenty serpents
dancing in his eye, when his eyes were
opened he shouted for his life Wasn't
he pretty chump to go before his wife?
His hat was in the parlor, underneath
the chair; his boots were liz the hallway,
his coat was on a chair, his trousers in
the kitchen, his collar on shelf, but he
hasn't any notion where he was himself
When the morn was breaking, some
one heared him call-his head was on
the ice box, which was the best of all.

Erich Hoppe and Ed. Stenke, of the
town of Harrison, who were arrested
two weeks ago on complaint of a
neighbor, H. P. Authorson, had their
elimination Saturday. They were
charged with assault and theft Auth
orson claimed they assaulted him and
after the assault his pocket book, con-
tanning a sum OF money, was gone. At

Balloting in the city and county last
Tuesday for associate justice of the
supreme bench resulted in a vote for
the different candidates as follows A.
r. Bushnell, S57; Fl. H. Grace, 619; Jas.
O'Neil. 1859; W. H. Timlin, 1922.
Judge O'NeiPs large vote is accounted
for by the fact that he resides nearest
this county. The strength of W. H.
Timlin is unaccounted for unless due
to canvas more systematic than that
of the other candidates. On the vote
for the adoption of the Dunn pocket
ballot the vote was, YES" 400; "no,"
1892. r..
Monday, April 9th, was Job B.
Vaughan's birthday and many were
the congratulations he received on that
day, and there were a number of sub
stantial gifts, among them, the one sent
him by his son, Bentley, of Star Lake,
was priced most highly. Mr.. Vaughan
is one of Uncle Sans mail carriers of
our city and is as strong and active as
he was when in the U. S. army fighting
for his country in the COS. There is no
more popular man on the force and
having resided here for some thirty
years he is known to all. The PILOT
joins in wishing him many happy re-
turns of the day"
Last Saturday, was the most delight
full one that has been experienced this
spring There was not cloud in the
sky and there was a little too much heat
for comfort, at least that is what those
thought who had not shed their heavy
winter clothing. At about ten o'clock
A. NJ. dark flag was run up on the flag
staff of the court house, which meant
rain. At sun down dark clouds APP
peared in the west and before morning
there was plenty of rain accompanied
by strong wind from the southeast.
This condition kept up all day Sunday
and it was about as disagreeable day
as one can imagine.
Mayor Matt Stapleton, of Rhinelander,
offers a reward for any information
that will convict saloon keepers of sell
ing liquor on Sundays or on week days
after 80 p. M or who operate
gambling devices. Mr.. Stapleton, since
his election to office two years ago, has
enforced the law to the letter Most of
the saloon keepers have obeyed his
mandates without a whimper, but
few recalcitrants have been hauled into
court and made pay fines and learned
to their sorrow that Matt Stapleton and
not themselves was mayor. He was
elected twice on law and order plat
form and has upheld the faith of his
constituents.
Candidates for Office at the election
held last Tuesday should remember to
file an affidavit of the amount of ex-
pense they incurred, the same to be in
the hands of the register of deeds with
in thirty days after election. Failure
to comply with the law provides a
penalty of fine of not less than twenty
five dollars or more than five hundred
dollars. There has been such a law on
the statute books since 1898, but it has
been little observed. The last legisla-
ture, however, passed an amendment
which is more stringent and must be
complied with. Candidates should look
up chapter 502, laws of 1905.
