THERE are number Of cases ON the
docket of the town of Platteville VS.. nu-
merous persons, charged with selling
liquor without a license. This consti-
tutes misdemeanor in the words OF the
law Suit is brought by the town ana
is resisted by defendants on the ground
that it is not misdemeanor against
the town and that the action
against them should legally be
brought by the state. The attorneys
for the prosecution claim, on the other
hand that it is misdemeanor against
both the town and the state and that
either or both may bring an action
against them. One of the eases was
decided against Platteyille by his Honor
Judge Cothren, and the case was ap-
pealed and is now pending in the SUI
preme Court. 1t is probable that no
further action will DO taken in these
cases until the one appealed is passed
upon. Theyall involve the same points

The Bloomington Farmers Fire In
surance company elected new officers
last week. Among them, Mr. j. Ryan,
of Glen Haven, was chosen President,
and Thos. Pendleton, of Little Grant,
secretary. We cannot commend these
companies too highly. They are ex-
clusively mutual, and are differed by
men entitled to the full confidence of
our citizens. The other company, the
Liberty Insurance company, is of this
nature also, and is equally entitled to
patronage. The general plan of these
companies seems to be, to limit the in
suranee to two-thirds or less of the
property, and insure only farm property
nothing within corporation limits. A
trife is charged for the policy, which is
all the expense unless a loss occurs when
the pro rata of expense is apportioned
among policy holders. Assessments
only for losses in the rule. Farmers
generally seem to prefer this method Of
insuring.

steady advocate of thorough
breeding, when itcan bs done with
out serious Inconvenience and pro-
fitably, it has never been blind to
the fact that COOL bull which is

animal and out of grade or COM

than a thoroughbred bull, which is
the get Of poor thoroughbred bull.
In the midst OF the enthusiasm
which has attended the business Of
thorough breeding in this country,
the merits OF anything but the
thoroughbred have been largely
lost sight Of, and the fact OF the
animal being thoroughbred has
too often Seen regarded as a sufh-
cient recommendation without in-
curry as TO its individual merits or
