The Vevay Reveille says that when you hear a man sneering at the local paper because it is not as bifif and newsy as the great city papers, yon can safely sajr that he does not squander his wealth is assisting to make it better, and that generally the paper has done score for him than he has done for it. The man who cannot see the benefit arising from a local newspaper is about as much value to a town as a delinquent list. The new board of pension examiners has not got ready for Work yet. The reuson for the delay is the desire of the bosses to have' the

At a meeting of the City Council last Tuesday night, Ira C. Batman was elected City Attorney, and Jas. SLocomb night policeman. There is a good deal of criticism over the failure to re-appoint Gar. Reeves, who has made a very efficient officer and a petition is being circulated to have the Council re-consider its action. Bids for the city printing were opened, and the Courier found to be the lowest, but for some reason, the lotting the contract was postponed.

The Eurle Dramatic Co. are at the Opera House this week, and the Earle's especialty, are fully sustaining their reputations as prime favorites here. The new faces in the company are also far above the average. Mr. Will T. Clark, the leading man is excellent in his line, and his rendition of the characters assigned him ha been highly praised every night. The old-time
favorite Joe Anderson is as good as ever, as are also Mrs. Anderson and Miss Julia Hurst. Mr. Earle and Miss Agatha Singleto?, his wife, need no further words of praise. They are, aud always have been, highly respected here in private life and as dramatic artists it has long ago been conceded that thev rank
