Bert . Tator, of Milán, has drawn a bicycle in a raffle. No bugs ou that Tator. W. W. Wedemeyer, who was elected county school conirnissioner for Wabhtenaw, was a high gradúate of the universifcy at the last comnienceinent, being over six feet tall. The Chelsea M. E. church has offlcially grauted a four weeks vacation to Rev. C. L. Adams, without loss of pay, provided he does not state ou his return that the biggest one feil back into the water. The city officials of Aan Arbor baseballed and bested the county officers last week. May be by this time those fooi demócrata who elected the republican couuty ticket last fall, see what they've doue. üf the 187 persous arrested in Washteuaw iu six ruouths, Prosecutor E,audall reports that he has "cracked it" to 155. Frorn this it is seen that auy man arrested in that county is almost certain to be guilty. Ex-rnayor Darliug writes from Loudon, Englaud, that he plied his laudlord two hours the flrst day he arrived, with questious couceruing the city, and that he has not seen him since. Chances are that he committed suicide. In a patriotic Fourth of July speech, Mr. L. J. Liesimer, of Aun Arbor, said: "We come forra a land of philosophers - Klopstock, Wieland, Lessiug aud Kant." Now about that Mr. Stop clock - did he invent the Waterbury watch ? A Uuiversity dental student has established what he considers a "strong pull" with Marshall Petersou, whoni he has sued for $10,000 damages for searching his room on a defective warrant for stolen goods. This he declares was "tooth in. " Chas. H. Cowell, of Napoleon, of the recent Düversi'ty gradnaitug class, gets a thousand dollar job in the St. Louis, Mich., school. The cause of education is continually looking up. The least we have heard of a gradúate getting was 50 cents a day a.s a ditcher. . At the Sylvau Center chnrch, one Suuday evening recenüy, the preacher exhorted his hearers to "fight the good fight. ' ' Of course the minister was tmaware that a nose smashing contest was at that moment going on just outside the door, but such was the case. Janitor Davenport found a pocket book full of gold on the court house steps yesterday inorning. - Anu Arbor Argus. We do not take much stock in the Argus blamed gold theory, bnt would like an opportunity to identify that purse which we can easily do by a birth mark. While alniost any love-sick swain can support a girl on his lap, her solicitude should be aroused to ascertain whether he has any other rneans of furnishing support. - Ypsilanti Commercial. What other means are needed, unless he's bovvlegged? If he is he can use a lapboard can 't he? The city officials are both patriotic and econoruical - they will use nothing but a tin dipper, one of American tin at that, at their water tank. - Ann Arbor Register. They may hang out the "American tin" dipper at the tank f or a show, but the pop of the imported cork still resounds in the uncertain gloaming of the dimly lighted corridors. Byron Hawley inforins the Dexter Leader that one day last week he saw a cyclone strike the river with a report like a gun, whirl the water in every direction and then bound up and disappear. The Press has no knowledge of Byrou Hawley, but he is probably one of those fellows sometimes engaged by Detroit newspapers to swear to their circulation. Rev. J. P. Hutchinson, in the Milan Leader, embalms his creed in the following sfcrain, for whioh he should have his salary raised one hundred dollars : Don 't dweil upon dying, grace will be given To let you leave earth when you'ro wanted in heaven ; So be of good cheer; oh, do what yon can To live like a heio and die like a man. No morphlno or opium in Dr. Miles' íjad PiLiS. Odke All Pain. "Onti cent a close." Au A1111 Arbor law student last week (livcvv a lanndryman down siairs and broke his arm for presenting him with a waah bill. Can it be that "the good time comiug" has at last arrived, when the tyranny of the despotic lanndryman is broken? that witnesses the deïiveranoe of the clean shirt irom the thralldom of the income tax? Snmptuary lawa, invasión of constitutional rights, unjnsfc denial of habens corpus, protective tariff and the nnlawful acts of buil headed legislatares have done inuch to hinder prosperity and destroy freedom : but the power o{ the lanndryman bas bónnd liberty itself to the bed" post, taboed the young lawyer from the practioe of his profssion, and restrained the editor froni the privileges of society. It has suppressed the genius of the actor and the eioqueiice of the orator, and hurled them in the full blaze of intelectual glory, down, down fronj zenith to nadir - snuffed out for the want of a clean shirt with a receipted bill of health. Bretheru, together let us rejoioe that the arm of the oppressor is Í broken.
