Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1882-06-01

How not to do it, is at present the
one great, alI-deyouring thought and
purpose of the Democrats in the
House at Washington, in their des-
perate opposition to the unseating
of the fraudulently-elected Dibble,
of South Carolina. They have now
wasted many days in factious oppo.
sition to a measure of justice. 1t
has been overwhelmingly proved
that Dibhle occupies his seat in the
House by the most outrageous frauds
at the ballot.boX, and that Mackey,
his Republican opponent, was un-
doubtedly elected 10y large ma.
iority of the legal votes east, but
was counted out by fraud and trick
cry. There is not a Democrat in
the House who is not fully aware of
these facts. And yet partisan feel
ing and interest are permitted to
overslaugh justice and right. The
Democrats may succeed, by means
of persistent tilibustering, in keep
ing Dibble in the seat which he
usurps, but il so they will do il il
the face of every principle Of jus
tee, and in defiance of the better
sentiment of the country

Parties from all directions are in
vading the pigeon nestings and gath
ering the squads in great quantities
and slaughtering them regardless of
age or condition, for the purpose of
making IN aey. TO such an incon-
sistent degree has this been carried,
that TO day the authorities of Tonlah

to arrest those who are there, gath

those halfformed, half-feathered bird

shipped from here this morn

apples from tree. Such work must
be stopped. 1t is sheer brutality and
sin. They sell for 81 per dozen.

fire extinguishing apparatus in South
western Wisconsin, which consists
of Hook and Ladder company and
an Engine company. The H.& Leo
has a good outfit and the company
keeps everything pertaining to it in
actual, useable condition; the En-
CINE Co. use Babcock Fire Extin-

for use. The city pays the actual
necessary running expenses of these
companies, and annually, about this
time of year, the whole city, almost,
has gala day with the fire depart

they had a big time over there. The
companies paraded the streets, were
inspected by the city officials, listen

Witness says:

on general principles" without vio-
lating the rules of law, it would be
wholesome thing to do. There
are a multitude of "fast" young men
that dress in good clothes, and ogle
and smirk and smile and sneer at
virtue, who should take lesson and
turn aside from initiating the Mai
leys, whether they hang or not. The
most despicable character who walks
the earth to day is the young man
who dishonors his mother and defes
his Creator in his efforts to debauch
and degrade woman. The man who
degraded and ruined Jennie Cramer
was as much a murderer as he who |
administered the fatal arsenic.

morning. RumOrsiwene aflOat that Senator
Eckley B, Coke had once more Feeonsidered
his decision and had finally determined not
to permit his name to go before the con

Those who were interested lin Senator
Coke either as straightout friend or Von
account of his usefulness and breaking
down the candidacy of a Hopkins and
Pattison strenously denied the rumor,
but IL gained enough strength TO rive an air
of decided uncertainty to the surroundings
of the eonyentiony when at 10. Is Chairman
Bogert let fall his gavel and called the, dele
gates TO order
In numbers the convention was a fun one
and In quality much above the average.

plant.


plant.
To TUE EDITOB or THE GAZETTE: It is
stated by physicians and by medical author
tiles that cholera infantum prevails only in
and is caused mainly by, extreme hot,
weather.
My report for 1880 shows G5 deaths from
cholera iniantum, of which occurred in
the month of May, 3fin june, rs in july 9
IN August and 2 in September. No more
deaths from this disease were reported dur
ing the year 1880; (; G3 of said patients were
under one year old, As were white and II
were black My report for the year 1881
shows the same number of deaths from
cholera iniantum-G5 !; in the month of
May, butt (; june, o i; July, 2S +; August,
Is September, 10; October, and NOvem-
Der, l 45 were white, and 20 were black;
under one year of age, As from one to two
years, lG; and from two to FIVE years, l.
During the month of May, 1882, but one
death was reported from cholera infantum.
Thus far in June eight deaths have been re-
ported. The disease appears to make its
appearance about the time early vegetables
arrives in our markets, and appears TO grow
worse when our markets are stocked with
cabbage, kale, peas and onions, and much
other green truck, eaten during the hot
weather. | am of the opinion that II
mothers nursing young children would
abstain from eating any Of the green truck
offered for sale in our markets, and eat moth
ing bHtWAata OK xRerieneed physician would
rcrornmend, we would not have so many
dcaths from cholera infantum.
AnptheHifhpdrtaht fact about this disease
in ou Ifcity is worthy. OF notice. That out of
Il pobHlation OF a 900 I'm 18S0) )--3S, 900
white and 5000 black-there were 4S deaths
amongst white children and II deaths
amongst colored children, showing death
rate white to the 900 Inhabitants of but
| 30, and death rate black of 2.S3, or more
than double, while the black population is
only about one-sxth of the white popula-
ton There can be no doubt that what
causes so many deaths from cholera infan-
tum is improper food eaten by mothers and
allowing themselves to become over heated
while nursing the babe.
do not believe hot weather has anything
TO do with so many deaths. Why do not
the reports from the Southern cities show a
great mortality from this disease. If during
long continued hot weather children con
| tintied To die from this disease because ofthe
heat, not many children would live in the
| South. fi L. B. FRAZER.
