Undoubtedly young Kerwin has committed a crime, but possibly it will appear far less revolting when all the facts are known. In this connection the Chicago News offers some timely advice as follows, which should be heeded: "The story of Miss La Grange, of Neenah, that a young man named Kerwin dragged her from a buggy in which he' was taking her home from a dance and committed an unspeakable outrage, should be well looked into before; the people who threaten to lynch the accused take irretraceable steps. That the young lady went home, wrote the story and committed suicide is not infallible proof that the crime was committed in the manner she said. Suicide is oftener a result of remorse, than of injury." Mr. Parish.

Many of our merchants are making preparations for an extensive display of their goods at the county fair.

A ledge of rock was long known to crop but at different places near Montello and Berlin, and from its grey, forbidding character, was popularly considered to render the region al-most worthless.

It is within a recent period only that its true value has been discovered. It is a fine quality of granite, in color varying from chocolate to grey. As the rock is granite the earliest formation there is no underlying material of inferior quality, and the supply is, consequently, inexhaustible. A firm of Chicago capitalists are working the quarries, and with the aid of experienced scotch workmen are able to get it out in the best possibe condition.

30 Julius Teip-ner, one of the proprietors of the Spring Brook House is the hero of a bear story which hej proves to be true by bringing home two fine cubs. The guests of the house appreciated the rich feast as well as the story. Mr. Teipner narrowly escaped very close quarters, for when he shot the pld bear, she and her two cubs started fpr him as though they meant it, Before they reached him he had killed thejfcwo ubs and so wounded the old bear that she retreated.
