the law went into effect, the expenses OF
the county prison were S2,j27.2o, show

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1880-11-25

The Wisconsin legislature Of 1881
will have several important matters
to consider; two proposed constitu-
tional amendments among them.
One favors female suffrage, the other
biennial sessions Of the legislature.
Both were favorably acted upon by
the last legislature. The re-dis-
tricting of tie state into senate and
assembly districts is a matter which
is of importance in a party point of
view, ard will doubtless attract
considerable attention. OF course,
the election OF u. s. Senator will
draw large lobby Of "inhuantial'
men. These unusual questios, with
those which ordinarily come up for
consideration, viii make the coming
session Of considerable interest

Those disreputable men can now
sink out of sight with conscious

it viii not be their fault. Having
buried it beneath a mound of popu-
lar reputation, they have raised a
monument OF metnness above the

on it is in Chinese letters.

conspirators have concluded to aban.

caugh. in the act, forgetful of the
booty and only eager to make good
their escape. Instead of trying to
defeat the verdict of the people, the
committe issued an address trying
to defend its course in connection
with the Morey letter. The change
from the aggressive to the defensive
put the comlnitte in & novel position.
For the first time in American his
tory National Campaign Com
mittee has been forced to defend its
action during the campaign by "a
pOst-election address. The defense
is, however, worse than silence would
have been. The address adds great
Iy TO the infamy of those who Issued
it. We are not SO unfair as to hold
the whole party responsible for it.,

cessory TO the crime OF Barnum, and
that crime has been materially az.

Such iusuleuce would be cruelty if

and asked for room. He was dressed in a
dark blue suit, and wore a straw hat which
with his well Drowned face gave evidence that
he had recently Travelled and been ex-
posed to the sun. His hair was gray. as We're
also his side whiskers. He seemed to the night
clerk, Mr.. McAllister, to be in good spirits, and
to wear the appearance of prosperous man.
He signed his name, Louis Baker, Washington
d. c., In firm hand near the bottom Of the
page. 81 suppose you would like me to pay in ad-
vance" he said, "Since have no baggage? NV
baggage will be brought here tomorrow from

paid for his room, and was assigned to No. o.

Baker was found TO be dead. He lay on the bed
Wa SIN Ghy r ms snt p Tne gas was out but
Guiding the theory that the gas might
have been put out by the wind. It
was supposed that Mr.. Baker had himself
blown it out, although his age, the fact
that he lived in a city where gas was
commonly used and his general appearance
made 1t seem doubtful that he could have done
so In ignorance OF the deadly effect OF the un.
burned gas. The clerks, however, had noticed
nothing in his appearance indicative of pur-
pose to take his own life, and all who saw him
alive are clearly OF the opinion that his death
was an accident. Mr. McAllister said that per-
sons had sometimes gone to sleep in their rooms
at the hotel with the gas escaping, but
that in no previous instance had it resulted
FATALLY, the Watchmen always having detected
1t by the odor in time to save life. In Mr.
Bakers clothing We're found wallet containing
small sum OF money and several unimportant
papers. among which was notice Of the fune-
raj OF George Baker, supposed to be his brother.
No baggage had been received for him at the
