THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Mineral Point about to Avail itself
of this Wonder of the Nine
tenth Century.
The Plan Proposes Utilizing the
Extra Power Of the Large En-
CINE at the Zinc Works.

During the past two or three weeks
several of our prominent citizens have
been looking up the feasibility of in
Producing the electric light into Min,
eral Point. We are happy TO be able te
state that the matter has attained q
strong Roadway and it looks as though
we should soon have the city lighted
by electricity.
The principal cost is the plant
which includes the electric generator
lamps and insulated wire, and this Is
not so great as is commonly supposed
The cost of the light after once estab-
lished is but trifing.
The plan proposes utilizing the extra
power of the large engine at the Zint
works. This can be arranged for, as
the zinc company needs the electric
light at its works and will take lamp
1t is expected that the railroad com
pany will place one or more lights al
the depot. The city will be asked t
place one lamp in the City Hall, and
others about the city where they will
do the most good, OF course each Of
the churches will have to have lamp
A number of our merchants are
heartily in favor of the project and ne
doubt will have electric lamps in theil
stores.
A little energy and enterprise on the
! part of our business men and the city
fathers will carry the plan through a
no distant day.

A GENERAL REYlEM.

The Democrat of this issue pre-
sents a new feature for the perusal
of Its many readers. This being the
season when those who have articles
for sale are anxious to get a glimpse
of the prices offered by the buyer
before coming to market, and at the
same time feel it the duty of their
local newspaper to inform them
where and from whom the highest
price" may be had, and for this es-
pecial purpose we have engaged re-
porter, who will keep the farmer well
informed as to prices.
Saturday last was "big day" for
the merchants of this city. Wagons
loaded with products of the farm
thronged our streets from morning
till night, and buyers for the many
different articles were about as nu-
merous as sellers, notwithstanding
the price Of certain articles being on
the decline, still the farmer went to
his home feeling that he had sold
Just If time"
The hog market on Monday was
exceedingly lively, and buyers and
sellers were many. The day open
ed with bright sun, the roads being
in good order many took advantage
thereof and came in to get reason
able price for the different articles
they chose to market. By II o'clock
a. m. fully 500 hogs had been UNI
loaded and in the stock yards. The
, prices of this day were not as firm as
the seller would have been willing to
accept and SAY nothing" but many
were of the opinion that should they
refuse the price offered they would
have no one to grumble at but them
selves should the market be on the
decline the balance of the week. We
quote prices of this day as follows:
Medium, $3.50; good, $500; extra
lots bringing trifle more.
Good hogs will bring as high
prices in Mineral Point as at any
market in southwestern Wisconsin,
but mind you, poor ones are given a
wide berth"
Tuesday morning found about an

be on the rise Immediately, but on
coming to market many were disap-
pointed on being informd that the
prices of the day previous were still
maintained. Some cattle were pur-
chased, but not enough to deserve
special mention although they were
Of good quality and brought the sell

Wednesday was very dull day in
this respect, and but little business
was transacted, owing, perhaps, to
the nearness Of Thanksgiving, which

CAPTURE OF THE BURGLARS.
The Shotgun Policy Successfully
Tried on the Men who Blew
Open Joe PrideauXS Safe.
A Shotgun in the Hand Worth Two
Revoivers in the Pocket.

On Thursday night of last week, the
safe of j. A. Thomas, postmaster at
Montfort, was blown open by burglars,
who carried off about $50 in money
and postage stamps, besides taking
| from an adjoining store half-doZen
revolvers, five watches, from twenty
five to thirty gold rings, and nearly
$500 in money.
Deputy sheriff Richards. of Bosco-
bel, and constable from Fennimore,
were put on the track of the burglars
and traced them to Woodman. The
officers had armed themselves with a
shotgun apiece, and were determined
to bring them back dead or alive, if
they were to be found in the woods.
About two miles from Woodman the
officers scented game, and overtaking
the burglars. drove past them for some
distance, when they got out of the
buggy in which they were riding,
| walked back, and coming upon the
| burglars, who We're ploddins along
with their recently secured booty, lev
eled their ShotgunS at their heads and
in true highwayman fashion, ordered
them to throw up their hands, with
which request the affrighted burglars
at once complied, permitting the

revolvers, two sets of burglars tools,
the stolen money, jewelry, watches,
postage stamps. and "other dangerous
weapons " concealed about their per-
sons.
These burglars are undoubtedly the
same persons reports of whose safe
robbing in this city, Dodgeville and
Milton were given in the columns Of
The Democrat last week.
1t is reported that on reaching Mont
fort. the burglars found their entire
assets to consist of two sets of burg
lars tools and solitary nickle in one
of their pockets, and determined to
stock up for the holidays at that place,
which they proceeded to do with the
success above noted. Mr.. j. A.
Thomas gold watch was also found
in their possession, and they made no
attempt to conceal their crime.
