Miss BARBARA MILLS and Miss Jen­ nie Blodgett, who were visiting with the editors family, air* now visiting with friends In Elgin. WE learn that Rev. Mrs. Wheeler still remains with her s trick ~n relatives at Oslikosh. Dr. T. C. S. Berry, h«r oldest brother and an eminent pliysi- cisn. with his companion has recently arrived there from the state of Maine. Slight hopes are entertained of S. F's. recovery. LATER:--Mrs. Wheeler writes from Oshkosh, stating that Hon. S. F. Berry Is dead. J. GRAY: '.'Pack with my box ffve dozen quills." The only remarkable thing about this short sentence is that It contains all the letters of the alphabet. AN Election will be held at (lie Council Room, in this village, on Saturday next, April 18th, for the pur­ pose or electing one School Director in place of 0. C. Colby, whose term of office expires. Polls will be open from 2 to 4 p. M. As we noticed last week 11. E. Wight- man and Peter Lelckem tied for the office of Constable, each receiving 202 votes. On Monday last, as per notice of the Town Clerk, a drawing took place at bis office, and resulted In Peter Lelckem drawing the prize. WE are under obligations to our old time friend, Frank H. Richards, for a copy of a pamphlet description of Whatcom county., Washington Terri­ tory, showing Its. wonderful natural resources and commercial advantages with a short sketch of the city of W ha'com. It Is an interesting* docu­ ment. ' T 4*MEN," says a writer, "take a drink together when they meet. Women kiss each other. Which is worse ?" Neither one. They are botli so good that a man would have to toss up a cent, head :'0t tall for choice, and then get mid because It cane up neither one. THE RIVERSIDE HOUSE IS now open and ready for business, and the weary traveler, the pleasure seeker or the boarder can there find a house fitted up In first class style, neat substantial and home-like. The new landlord, Mr. #prd, is evideutly "the right man in |be right pi-ice," and we predict for - K|m a liberal patronage. OUR experience abundantly verifies the following statement, which we And In an exchange: "An honest man ||t1l pay for his paper before he orders l| stopped, while a dishoiest man will sneak away, and let the postmaster notify the publisher that the paper re­ mains in the post-office because the $prty to whom It is addressed has left "$i>r parts unknown.* "MISERY delights in company."

WORKINGMEN, men who have been out of employment all winter, and fho looked forward to a prosperous spring and summer season, must face Another streak of bad luck. To be ifcire, a very fair article of dog can be Sought ior two dollars and a half, but the news comes from abroad that the . |jrar in the Soudan has mate rally in leased the price of African lions.-- Ij^ery few persons In this country , owing to the hard winter, have pur A. •* aliased their season's stock of African lious.--Ex. - Randall and Keystone Pulverizers, 13 and Id Inch at B. M, Owen A Son. ON Sunday evening last our village was disgraced by a pack of hoodlums hooting and yelling upon our streets, We know not who they were but pre­ sume they were of that class who think It smart to mako rowdies of them­ selves. A night In the calaboose would be a wholesome lesson for such smart'es, and we can assure them our authorities will see that the remedy is applied if the offense Is repeated. WHEN you hear a man sneering at the local paper, you can safely bet that he doesn't squander his wealth in mak­ ing them better, but that, generally, the papers have done mere for him than he has for them. The man who cannot see the benefit arising to a town fcom its newspapers hasn't got as much sense as a cove oyster, and he is of about as much value to Ja town as a ten year-old delinquent list. IT you san pray while you are do­ ing It, you are all right," says Mr. Moody regarding roller skating.-- Pray? Who can measure the number and depth of the fervent petitions that silently arise from the trembling bosoms of the my rids of skaters that they may maintain an upright ex­ ample before the world--and the spectators? As a prayer meeting a roller rink assembly lays over all com­ petitors.-- Ex. WE have just received a number of the Public Herald, published at Phila­ delphia. It contains much valuable Information to publishers, as well as the public in general In exposing pro­ fessional advertising dead-beats. For several years the distinguishing fea­ ture of the Herald has been the ex­ posure . of dead-beats and frauds throughout the country. Its exposure of advertising frauds has saved the newspapers of the United States a dead load of money, and they should' give it a hearty support. TUE Dundee Alumni Association un- fortunately met with a stormy night on their visit here last week, and but a small crowd turned out to hear them, but those who did, report that they were well repaid for so doing. The Drama "Above the Clouds" was a high­ ly interesting one, and each member of the company rendered their part In an unexceptionable manner. In short this Association is composed of more than ordinary Dramatic talent, and all who failed to hear them on Friday evening missed a rich treat. We predict that should they ever visit u) again they would be greeted with a full house. MESSRS, Stanhope A Epstean's New Dime Museum. Ill to U7|Kandolpli street, Chicago, is now well establish­ ed in public favor as a pi ice of enter tainment.. Among the attractions now aflorded by its enterprising managers, is a company of three original Moham- medaus, who illustrate to visitors the peculiarities of this exclusive and In­ teresting race or sect. They form a rare and entertaining part of the thousand and one attractions which are weekly being placed on exhibition. Those of our readers who are visiting the city, and who have but an hour to spare, can improve 1 ̂ profitably at this popular resort, and at only at a dime's expense,--including a pleasing stage performance.

LAST week we called attention to the useful moral that might be drawn from the suicide of a postmaster whose dmles were so onerous that he could find no relief except In the cold and narrow grave. This lesson Is snpple- mented by the news that another post­ master has been shot and killed for not conforming to what his assailant considered the best Interests of the office. Verily, the way of the post- master is hard, and the wise man will not scramble after this form of official distinction without flist Insuring his life against the casualties that appear to be Incident CO It. Let Democratic office seekers and lite Insurance agents give heed. A BROTRER editor, who delights to go out with dog and gun, gets oil the following: "Again we have lost our dog, or he has lost us, or has boon so alienated by our treatment of him that he skipped. Anyway, he is not on our ranch, and has not been seen since Thursday afternoon of last week. His name Is "Bob," aged ten months; Is well broken to hunting; Is an ?rlshset ter, liver-colored, and has a star In the breast and white marks on bls^paws.-- Finder will confer an everlasting favor on us by returning him; coin Is man ert around our diggings, or we would , of< fer a reward as heretofore.

Present Membership There's nothing on earth so myste­ riously funny as)a newspapertadvertise- oient. The prime, first, last and all the time object of an advertisement is to draw custom. It Is not, was not and never will be designed for any other ho nan purpose. So tlie| mer­ chant waits till the busy season and his store is so full of customers that he can't get his hat ofi, and thea he rush­ es to the newspapers and puts In his advertisement. When the dull season gets along, and there is no trade, and he wants to sell goods so ba 1 he can't pay his rent, he takes out his adver­ tisement. That Is, some of them do, but occasionally a level-headed merch­ ant pu ts in a bigger one and scoops all the business, while .his neighbors are making mortgages to pay their gas bill. There are times whan you couldn*t stop people from buying every thing in the store If you planted a cannon behind the door, and that's the time the advertisement is sent in on its holy mission. It makes Il<ht work for the advertisement, for a ehalk tlgn on the sidewalk could do all that was needed and have a half holi­ day six days in the week, but who wanta to favor an advertisement? They are built to do hard work, and should be sent out in the doll days when a customer has to be knocked In­ sensible with bankrupt Inductions and pricey beiore he will spend a cent. That's the aim and end of an adver­ tisement, and if you open a store, don't try to get them to come when they are already sticking out of the win­ dows but give them your advertisement right between the eyes in the dull season, and you will wax rich and own a fast horse, and perhaps be able to smoke a good cigar once or twice a week. Write this dewn where you'll fall over It eve^y day. The time to draw business Is when you want bust npas, and not when you have more bust ness than you can attend to already.--- Waukegan Patriot.
