We forgot to mention last week
that the resolution of the Board of Ed
ucation exhonerating Mr.. Purdy from
all charges made against him, was Or
dered by the board to be published in
both papers. The fact that such sug-
gestion was not embodied in the written
resolution, caused it to wholly escape
our mind.
Our opinion is. that a man Cor
woman) who fixes hole in his Cor
herr sidewalk, by mailing thick patch
of board on top of the pianks, ought
to be sent to-a place where the Re-
formers are in perpetual, hopeless mi.
nority. Tribune.
That is sort of roundabout way

John Turner Of the Mansion Star
defended Mrs. Tngersol who has been
recently tried before the Dane County
Circuit Court, and acquitted, on a
charge of murder. Her husband was
the alleged victim, and poisoning by
strychniue the supposed manner of his
taking of. Mr.. Turner displayed
great ability as . criminal lawyer, in
the conduct of the case. and to him in
connection with W. L. Villas who as
serted in the defeIrse, both laboring
with a proud consciousness Of defend

of such articles as are usually made
from this deposit, the same to be
placed on exhibition at the worlds ex-

heated could never have phased, and
let it be promul gated that all these
manufactures are the products of a
great state in the western world a
state yet in its infancy yet rich in un-
developed mines of wealth awaiting

at the Centennial, and we shall have
failed in the discharge of duty de-

such measures Immediately as will
