Every town has a liar or two; smart Aleck; some pretty girls; a loafers than it needs; a woman or two that Tattles; an old fogy that the town would be better off without men who stand on the street corners and make remarks about the women, a man who laughs an idiotic laugh every time he says anything; scores of men with cobbler of their trousers worn smooth as glass; men who could tell you about how the war question should be settled, the weather, and how to run other people’s business, but who have made a dismal failure of their own.— Northport News. The New County Officers. Tuesday morning the new officers were sworn in and filed their respective oaths of office. Thos Laughlin, was handed the keys of the jail by ex-Sheriff Al. Bradford and with the usual exchange of compliments. Sheriff Loughlin, has announced the appointment of Tim Donahue as under sheriff. Both Tom and Tim are well known and will administer the affairs of the office in a manner that will prove to the voters that they made no mistake in electing Tom Loughlin as sheriff. In the Treasurer’s office, Win. J. Keyes succeeds Ole Swenson. No one doubts but what Win will make a first-class officer, as he is an expert bookkeeper and accountant and has experience in this kind of work. At present Mr. Keyes will attend to the duties of the office alone, but later on will probabilities he will appoint a deputy. In the County Clerk's office there is practically no change, as Mr. Radcliff was B. F. Hammond’s deputy, and he doing all the work. We all know that John Radcliff makes a good officer as his past record proves. Everything in his office will be kept in ship shape. You will find him courteous and obliging as he always has been. No deputy will be appointed at present. M. Gronin, succeeds John Radcliff as Clerk of the Circuit Court, and has appointed Mrs. M. E. Sanborn, as his deputy and who will have charge of the office. This office is one of the most important offices in the county, and under the able management of Mrs. Sanborn, everything will be kept up to its present standard. In the Register of Deeds office, N. A. Garrison, will take charge, with Miss Fannie Garrison, as deputy. C. Francis Colman, the new district attorney, succeeds G. F. Sanborn, and will have his office in the Stewart building on Wall street, opposite Hotel Smith. Colman is a thorough and painstaking lawyer and will make a good district attorney for the county. Alex Higgins, succeeds himself as county Superintendent of Schools, and he will undoubtedly keep the grades of the schools up to their present standard. James Carlin succeeds M. K. Monsell as surveyor and A. King takes Sam Walters place as coroner. Big George Guilty. Madison, Wis., Jan. 6.—"Big George," the Indian who killed Swan Swanson, a Swede, on the Flambean reservation on September 16 last, was found guilty of manslaughter by the jury in the federal court, and today sentenced to ten years in the Minnesota prison at Stillwater, the maximum penalty. Sentence was then taken to the state prison at Waupun, but it was discovered that the legislature two years ago passed an act which would make it illegal to send United States prisoners to the state’s prison for 20 long a term of years. The jury was out over seven hours in reaching a decision and returned a verdict of guilty. Sealed verdict at 12:30 this morning. When George was indicted for murder, the district attorney says it was not expected that he would be convicted of a more serious crime than manslaughter. He was drunk at the time he killed Swanson and there appeared to be no motive of malice, necessary to sustain the charge of murder. Swanson, it is said, was bringing liquor on to the reservation and he and George traveled from Ashland on the same train, George wanted a drink, which Swanson refused him, and the killing resulted. Notice of Drawing Jury. Notice is hereby given that the jury for the regular term of the Circuit Court, for Vilas County, to be held at the Court House in the Village of Eagle River, Vilas County, Wisconsin, on the first Monday of February, 1899, (Being the 6th day of February, 1899.) will be drawn in the presence of the special jury commissioners by the Clerk of the Circuit Court, at his office in the Court House, in the Village of Eagle River, Vilas County, Wisconsin, on the 18th day of January, 1899, at Three O’Clock in the afternoon of said day. Dated this 4th day of January, 1899. MAYME B. SANBORN, M. CRONIN, Deputy Clerk of Court. Circuit Court. — It is said that in some towns of the state, dealers in game have discovered an ingenious method of getting around the law prohibiting the sale of venison at this season, and one of the provisions of that law is the loophole by which they can defy it. The law directs that the venison seized after the expiration of the season shall be sold at a public auction and this was done in a great many cases during the month of December in various places where meat was exposed for sale or served at hotels. The dealers immediately bought the venison from the game-wardens’ sale and soon after it began to appear on the menus and in the dealers’ places of business. The game wardens quickly attempted “to stop the sale and use of the meat and to seize the carcasses, but the dealers claimed that the meat sold was the identical carcass which they had purchased from the wardens’ confiscation sale. The wardens had no means of proving that the meat offered by the dealer was not that which they had sold according to law, even though it appeared continuously in the market, and manifestly could not be the same. Cold storage carcasses began to appear in great numbers and the officers of the law were somewhat perplexed by the state of affairs. — Evening Wisconsin. Pav your taxes. The days are getting longer.

Sullivan’s bar bill at the Williams house at Manitowoc was an even $24, or $1 for each hour he was in the city.

A certain paper in an obituary of a man who had died in the community, said, "A long procession followed the remains to their last roasting place," Of course, the family rushed to the "print shop" to have the "error" corrected. The editor explained that he could not do it until the seven years back subscription the deceased owed had been paid. Beginning with January 1st, 1799, women Clerks and stenographers employed by the Chicago & Northwestern railroad in all its general offices, lost their positions, except in cases where long service made retention a matter of justice and necessity.

We take the following from the Madison Democrat in regard to a former Eagle River boy. Assemblyman-elect A. W. McLeod, representing the counties of Washburn, Bayfield and Sawyer, has been in the city for a day or two. He is a Babcock man and will be one of the younger members of the lower house. He is but 26, and curiously enough succeeds Kings G. Staples as assemblyman—a man whom it fell to his lot as district attorney to send to prison for 18 months for embezzlement. Staples got into trouble while county treasurer and the scandal developed while he was in the legislature, a man whom he had defeated for the assembly nomination being in the beginning very active in making it uncomfortable for him. Mr. McLeod is a graduate of the university law school, class of '94 and has made a most honorable progress in the last years that The war is declared!
