A number of small boys of this city have made it a practice to hand around the M. & N. Ry. depot and whenever the agent was busy in his office, they would open boxes, etc. that were shipped to our merchants here and take out a large amount of the contents. This practice has been going on for quite a while, the boys always being shrewd enough not to be caught or seen when the agent was around. Last week, they were however caught at their own game, one of the boys “squealing” on the other, and upon investigating the matter, it was found that a dozen or more were implicated. The parents of the boys settled with the railroad company, but should any boy be caught again prowling around the station and opening the company's freight, they will be sent to the reform school.

FROM GRAFTON

We noticed some time ago a few remarks in your paper, relating to the appearance of a ghost in Grafton. The writer seemed to think that it was a disgrace to the times to find people who still believe in the existence of such phenomenon. Is it singular that it should be so? Two centuries ago, it was the exception to find a person who was not superstitious and the great majority of the civilized population of the world are worshipers still of the same illusions, bearing a different name. Is it just to throw such an epithet at the less fortunate and aged of our time. What are we but the accumulated activity of all our ancestors from the very beginnings of life, the monad and the monad's struggles for existence included? Our nineteenth century civilization is not a revolution which has introduced any new ideas that inverts or destroys the thoughts, ideas, or aspirations of former centuries. When we reflect a moment upon what we owe our ancestors, we shall soon find that we owe them all we have and even more; we owe them all we are. If you were to analyze your own belief, we think that you will find anthropomorphic ideas and unwarranted phantastical expectations of a compensation in a supernatural Utopia. Is this not erroneous and as much at variance with the principles of scientific investigation in ethics and religion as the former?

These thoughts are ingenious and where we throw off our inheritance and understand more clearly the laws of nature, let us saw with Newton that if we get farther than our ancestors it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

HILGEN's SPRING PARK
In another column the advertisement of Mr. Julius FRIEDMANN of Milwaukee relating to his having rented for a number of years the above popular summer resort will be found.

BUTTER MAKING
(From the American Dairyman)
A prominent creamery man says: Do not attempt to ship butter that is not fresh and sell it as fresh butter. All butter will deteriorate in quality to an extent when held a certain length of time, and he does not believe there is a refrigerator that can prevent it. Butter at six months is older than at one month; any butter man will as soon as he puts his trier in it and runs his nose across the trier detect it. When butter is packed or put away for six or eight months, it leaves the sides of the tubs, whereas while fresh it adheres to the tub. Consequently, butter should be marketed while fresh and full flavored. This same authority says he does not believe any person can run a creamery successfully without ice in a churn. It is just as necessary as to have a churn, and to put a way the churn is to put away the ice and visa versa.
******
A prominent authority on buttermaking claims in order to make butter of good keeping quality, it must have the buttermilk thoroughly washed out of it. Another prominent authority says excessive washing is not good, as butter contains certain oils that give it the finest flavor that can be washed out. Great care should be used in washing and butter should not be left for hours in water, as there is no doubt some of these oils which give the finest flavor are dissolved and carried off in the washing.

FROM GRAFTON
(Communicated)

Anon of the Star seems to be laboring under a delusion or an overdose of grief, for which he should take something, for instance Cactus Oil or Soothing Syrup, something at least that will quiet an over-taxed and excited system; the cause of his grief appears to be the removal of Mr. P. SPEHN, P.M. at Grafton, this occurrence does not cause so much comment as the learned friend makes out; four years ago just as brave and honorable soldiers were removed for the “crime” of being offensive partisans, (turn the rascals out) possibly that is the cause now. We have some very patriotic men in time of peace, but when the country was in danger of being invaded by the enemy and a call was made for patriotic men to come forward and enforce the shattered ranks at the front, there appeared to be a moving to Canada equal to the Oklahoma boom. -- SCRIBBLER
