Jailed for Larc eny,

Geo Sigmes and wife, OF the
northern part OF this town, are now
stopping with Sheriff Kennedy,
being charged with larceny in hav-
ing stolen Sl33 from Joseph Chaput.
It seems that Sigmes (who, by tho
way is better known as the white
uigger') lived in n cabin on Cha
puts farm, and but few rods from
his residence, aud that Mrs. Sigmes
did the housework for both families.
On last Saturday, while Mr.. Chaput
was off in the timber, after load Of
wood, Sigmes asked his wife II sho
didn't know where Mr.. Chaput
kept bis money, and upon her ad-
mi,ting tha. che thought she did,
compelled her, by threats ami
violence, to go into his house and
get it.
Mr.. Chaput, on returning to tho
house, finding the doors open alrl
a promissory note which had been
wrapped up along with bis money
lying on the floor, at once suspected
that he had been robbed. and on
turning down the upper tick on his
bed, under which the money had
been kept, found his suspicious
confirmed He at once questioned
Sigmes, but he denied all know
ledge of the affair and expressed
great sympathy with Mr.. Chaput In
his loss.
Thus matters rested until Sunday
night, when number OF tho neigh
bors gathered around Sigmes's cab
in with blackened faces and
creased rope, seeing which Sigmes
"weakened" and made full cou-
fession, and ripping open bed
quilt restored Dir. Chaput bis money.
Mrs. Sigmes came to DodgevilIe
on Monday and gave herself up.
and Nj Chapu. had 6 warrant
issude for Sismes, nron which
officers Pengely and Robbins wen,
ou. and arrested him. The pair
waived an examination and viii

Court at its March term. - Chronicle,

THE third entertainment Of the

THE third entertainment Of the
lecture course was lecture by
Petroleum V. Nasty, aud we are
safe in saying that no speaker OF
any prominence, who has visited
Mineral Point, so utterly failed to
meet expectations. 1t is possible,
and very likely probable, that it
was not entirely the fault Of the
lecturer. His national reputation
as a writer and lecturer, had raised
the public expectation to such a
high pitch that it would have been
difficult for any living one to fully
satisfy it. The audience expected
to be treated to a continuous flow
of wit and humor, and from read.
ing his letters they were probably
justified in doing so, but when 1t
was found that he dealt quite spar
ingly in the ludicrons, the dis
appointment was proportionate.
Upon fair estimate of the lecture
we think it was not fully appreciat-
ed. His subject was "Bricks Without
Straw" applied more especially to
moral and social reforms. lis
character of typical reformer, "Ly-
curgus Up and Down john" was
avery good exagcration of many Of
our modern theoretical reformers.

Legislature proposes to make it a

AN important invention has been
patented by three OF our most
prominent citizens in this city,
and one that bids fair to outstrip
anything Of the kind ever offered to
the public. The article is made OF
vulcanized rubber and Is pressed
on cloth in sheets like veneering,
and can be glued on to any surface,
and is more economical, while it
admits of the highest state Of pol
ish; any color can be made; all
wood used for fancy articles are
readily initiated, and when made in
this way can be used for covering
buggies, musical Instruments, bu-
reaus, tables, etc, 1t is much more
durable than anything tried before,
aud will admit of polish Of such
a fine grade that you can see your
face in it, and it does not scratch
or tarnish like ordinary veneered
surface. We notice from our east
ern exchanges that it has already
began to be used quite extensively.

THE concert by Oakes Bros.
troupe Saturday evening was large
~ attended, and fine difference of
opinion as to merits is indeed wide.
Probably too much was expected
by those who expressed themselves
disappointed. We would say, how
ever, that the adopting of "end men"
is not exactly in keeping with com
panies Of such a reputation, they
are more adapted to boisterous min
strels or monkeys. The comic
characters were fair and probably
up the average, but are dull lights
when compared with little Johnny
Prindle. BETTER music is seldom
heard anywhere than the orchestra
rendered, and the Duet on glasses
by Mr.. Oakes and Miss Keith was
the grandest musical feat ever heard
in Mineral Point. All in all we
think those attending received their
moneys worth.

tons Of good butter brought TO this

instances has not the facilities and
convenient and proper surroundings,
nor the time, TO make as good but

dairy products, while the creamery
man has cold spring water va. In
which to place the milk he has oil

voluntarily asserted that the stores
of Mineral Point presented much

they were clean and attractive,
