Among the recent graduates was
Miss Evelyn l.. Knoller daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. G. Knoller of
Dancy who, ON Monday, graduated
from Henshaw Conservatory of Music,
Chicago, having taken a teachers
course on piano and harmony. While

Emmanuel, who is director of the
Chicago Philharmonic Orchestra and
as a musician has an international
reputation. All of the preliminary
training of the orchestral and chorus
parts of the Chicago Grand Opera Co.

to not be surpassed by any in this
country. Miss Knollers parents were
in Chicago for the graduating exer-
cises.

JUDGE CANNOT MAKE A RE-
PORTER TELL.

The question whether a newspaper
reporter can be required to reveal un-
der oath the source of information ON
which he bases newspaper article
came up before Judge Turner in Mil
waukee, Wis. Judge Turner ruled
in effect that newspaper mans
confidence is inviolable.
John Killilea, who had caused re-
porter to come into circuit court, re-
quested the court to require a re-
porter on oath TO reveal the names
of the persons from whom he had OBJ
tained information which was used
in news article. Killilea said the
publication of the article during the
pendency OF the case tended TO preiu-
dice the jury and that statements
made In the review of the history of
the condemnation proceedings were
incorrect and evidently supplied to
the reporter by persons interested in
the case.
Judge Turner decided that he had
no power to require the reporter to
be sworn or examined unless the re-
porter volunteered.

SATURDAY. July 10, 1875.

We notices number of new build
ings in course of construction along
the borders of Andrew Warren's frog
pond.
Mr.. Croker, an old citizen of this
county, and an expert miiiwTight,
while at work in the McIndoe mill on
the 9th, got his arm in contact with
the circular saw, and lost portion OF
the elbow. DR.. Wiley says the arm
can be saved without any trouble.
On Wednesday night, just as the
business houses of the city were clos
ing, an alarm of fire was sounded.
The fire proved to be in the residence
of John LeMessurier, which was
wrapped in flames before the fire de-
partment could render assistance. 1t
was large building in the popular
part OF the city, on the corner of
First and Washington streets. The
large sUore of August Kickbusch and
the Paradis hotel were in eminent
danger, and but for the good work of
the lire company, both would have
been destroyed. The origin of the
fire is said to have been the explosion
of kerosene lamp. The fire spread
SO rapidly that nothing could be
saved. The furniture, musical instru-
ments, family pictures, silverware
brought from the old country, cloth
ing, money and other valuables were
all swept away with the general ruin.
The loss is about $1,000 upon which
there is no insurance. Mr.. Washauer,
who had a store on the lower floor,
had $1,000 insurance on his goods,
and his loss will be comparatively
light.
In spite of our earnest plea last
week for Mr.. Warren's marsh, the
council has decided to drain 1t, and
now farewell to the mighty mud
puddle and the musical frogs that
made such savory meals. Farewell to
the little pollywogs, and the plain
troupe of reeds that nestled around
the borders, and o! ye immortal
hopes OF the big cranberry crop, Tor
ever now farewell Never mind,
Andy.
The gun of which mention was
made in these columns few weeks
ago as having been found near Sandy
Creek in this county, is now on ex
