SOME anonymous writer in the
Plattevile Witness advocates Hazel
tons nomination for a third term on
the ground that he may develope
into q great man like Garfield, FRYE.
Conger or Blaine, if an opportunity
is afforded him by fifteen or twenty
years in Congress. If some one
will explain wherein Mr.. H. has du-
ring his four years term displayed
the seeds of greatness calculated to
encourage such a hope, the people
may consent to try the experiment
recommended. The parable of the
barren fig tree might be used in Mr..
Hazeltons behalf, with at least equal
propriety and perhaps greater
effect.

prominent citizen Of this county,
died of asthma at his residence in

age of II years. Deceased was a
native of Durham, England, from

cal strength, which he used to good
advantage in accommodating a com
potency, so that he was able to spend
his declining years in the peaceful
retirement of his home. He was
a man Of the Strictest integrity, q
good Eeighbor and genial com

CLEAN TIE WELLs.-There is no
doubt but many of the wells in this
city would be greatly improved and
purified if they were given thor
ough cleaning, and we deem it our
duty to urge upon the citizens the
necessity Of prompt attention in the
matter. Many of them have not
been cleaned for years, and have
within them eXtraneous, decaying
matter which cannot but contami-
nate and vitiate the water, however
pure may be its original source.
The trouble and expense of cleaning
and purifying the wells are but
mere triHe, compared to the advan-
tage it will be to those who partake
of the water.

PEOPLE who have subscribed gor
a newspaper will do well to bear in

that, under the laws Of the State and

New Railroad Town
INDICTMENT EXTRAORDINARY.

Parties desirous of engaging in
business, or of changing their loca-
tion, would do we'll to see, or commu-
nicate with the proprietor of the vii
lage of Rewey, situated in the town
of Mitlin, Iowa County Wisconsin,
on the beautiful prairie ridge divid-
ing the waters of the Pecatonica and
Platte rivers, at n point where the
Mineral Point and Lancaster high
way crosses the old Platteyille and
Wingville road, being adjacent to the
great Welsh settlement of the Peca-
tonica Valley. It's location gives
special assurance of its becoming a
village of considerable Importance
as a shipping point, being located as
it is, on the line of the Tomah and
Chicago division Of the great Chica-
so Il North Western Railway. lts
nearest railroad towns are Mineral
Point on the east, t. miles Lancas-
ter west Is miles ; Plattevillc south
west T. miles /: Belmont southeast 10
miles and Livingston 5 miles north
on the line Of this road, thus Civ
it more and better territory TO draw
from than any other village on the
line of said road, with no prospect
of having its territory lessened by
near or remote railroad projects.
This new village is surrounded by
by one of the finest and wealthiest
agricultural districts in Wisconsin,
and being but three miles from, and
the nearest railroad point to tho
Mitllin lead and zinc mines, where
from one thousand and five hundred
to two thousand tons OF ores have
heretofore been hauled annually to
Mineral Point.
We want merchants, merchandise
and manufacturers, and especially do
we want stock and grain dealers.
Parties desirous of engaging in the
manufacture of butter or cheese,
would do well to see this point be-
fore locating elsewhere, as the farm
ers in this vicinity are already pay
ing considerable attention to this
branch Of industry in the ordinary
way, but there is no butter or
cheese factory within several miles
of this point.
Letters of inquiry in regard to
any matter or thing concerning this
new town viii be promptly an-
swerea by writing to the proprietor,
j. w. Rewey, at Miililn, Wis.

DlD you ever see a tuel.ahoe ?

ago Charles Fitzgerald, ut work on
the Dyer place, powed up one as
large as n mans head-measuiing
20x26 inches il circumference, and
weighing ten pounds. 1t grew there
as they all do, without root or leaf,
without feeders, ieelers, or connec-
ton with anything else, and this
fact as well as the Substance Of tho
vegetable" is what makes it to this
day riddle to botanists and natur-
alists. 1t somewhat resembles
monster potatoe, having a black and
rough exterior. Inside tho "meat"
is nearly black, with marbled white
lines. 1t cuts, not like q vegetable,
but like tough cheese. 1t is as
tasteless as the white of an egg, but
has been used much for food. Tho
Indians were fond of them. and in
some places they were called "lndlan

most wholly composed Of starch,

SINCE the last appearance Of the
TRIBUNE we hayo unreasonably
been brought to task by few old
chronic grumblers for publishing
the article on Public Schools" The
article was the production Of one Of
our most prominent citizen and tax
payers, and being signed by him in
full is sufficient, in the minds Of a
reasoning majority, to relieve rs Of
all responsibility. We don't hesi-
tate to say that we differ with the
writer of the article in question, so
much so that we candidly consider
that the public schools of this city
have been more successfully con-
Quoted, that the pupils have gained
more beneficial knowledge and thor
o0gh training under the present
principals teachings, than during
any like period within the history
of the school; Int when promi-
nent citizen chooses to find fault
with the progress or mode OF con
Quoting the schools, why let him
belch forth, and if right or wrong
he certainly is entitled to an oppor-
tunity to give an opinion.
Those who attempt to dictate to
Us what we shall not insert we are
obliged to inform Of their waste OF
time. No boil doing, gentlemen,
if you please, bot if any one wishes
to make reply to the article the
TRIRUSE's columns are open.
