Burglars TnfeSt Mineral Point
MUCH TROUBLE FOR LITTLE BooTY.


Saturday night, or early Sunday
morning rs is generally supposed,
when all honest citizens were quietly
slumbering, burglars entered the
store in connection with Alderman
Prideaux's butcher shop, through a
back window. The safe, although
not locked, was blown open. 1t con-
tanned no money; nothing but ac-
count books, which were consider
ably besmeared with smoke, and
bear evidence of being roughly
handled. The thieves were un-
questionably after the almighty
dollar" as the goods in the store
were undistu BED. A twenty-five
cent piece, left in the till the even
ing previous, was still there the next
day. When Mr.. Prideaux went in
to the store on Sunday morning for
some trivial purpose, the scene pre-
sented there conveyed the first in
telligence of what had been going
on during the night. He found the
safe wrapped in horse-blankets and
sacks, with a hole burnt through
them just where the powder had
been applied. This device was to
muffie the report of the explosion.
The blankets and sacks were taken
from JOS. Jones' barn that night.
On the floor near the safe was a
chisel, a drill, etc, the property OF
Tucker 81 Penberthy, carpenters,
which, with ladder from Lanyon's
foundry to enable them to get up to
the window, were borrowed for the
occasion They made their exit at
the back door, leaving it ajar.
This is the second time within close
to year that the same safe has been
blown open with the same result,
and it's the general belief that they
are not by any means professional
burglars, but that they exist in our
midst. Mr.. Prideaux has not locked
his safe for three years, and says, to
save the wasting of powder, and for
the accommodation of these cusses,
he will leave it unlocked for three
years to come.
The same night, and no doubt by
the same parties, an entrance was
effected into the cellar of Jeuck IL
Mullen's, on Commerce street. They
didn't enter the store-room above,
probably through fear of being
heard by parties who reside above,
but contented themselves with a
dose of California wine found it the
cellar.
AT Mr. Booths saloon, close by
they entered the cellar and into the
bar-room through the trap door.
Here the money drawer was ran.
sacked, which luckily for Booth,
contained nothing but papers, which
were not taken. A box of the best
cigars on hand were cared for, and
few drinks, it is thought, were
taken.
1t is rumored that several private
residences have since been disturbed
by prowling culprits, but nothing
has yet eliminated into a genuine
case of burglary.
Citizens, generally, are satisfied
that these lawless parties are of this
community. If such be the case
it is hoped that justice may NIP
their erring career in the bud

THE fa,l or matrimonial season
this year has been an active one in
Mineral Point and all indications
point to an almost unprecedented
trade. This is az it should be.
The married man is the better
friend. He helps build up the city.
The salaried young man would soon
own n house and home, and escape
the horrors o. the boarding house if
he only had the good sense TO marry
some respectable young lady. Turn

QUITE a number of improvements
are under headway at the X. X.
shops IN this city. The old turn
table has been torn up and replaced
by new one six feet longer, and
the south wing of the shop and
the store room torn down, and will
soon be replaced by new structures
that will make the yards look neat
er in appearance.

Church BELLs.-Speaking Of the
growing sentiment in large cities
throughout the country against the
ringing of church bells, the Chris
tian Statesman says: "There are
some customs handed down to us
from the dark ages which should be
abolished, and among them is the
changing of bells at all hours of the
day and night. The night and
early morning bells are a nuisance,
and should be abated as such, and
the ding-dong of loud harsh-sound-
ing metal on Sunday is a desecration
of the day, especially in cities where
there are number of them. In
former times when few people had
time pieces, some means of notify
ing the people Of service was neces-
sary, but now when every house has
clock and everybody a watch, this
feudal bell system is out Of date. :"
1t is quite safe to say that the
church which can employ pastor
who can bring to the pulpit intel
lectual and spiritual advice worth
reoe;vino has no need of . sexton
to tug at bell half a dozen times
every Sunday.

that our eonditions haze been beue-

change is one that was greatly

Of all. This ID a fine piece of prop.

velopment, and this will, undouhted-
lly, be the reault, though in connee-
ton with the Senate and other
mines in the group, there should be
added, as it is In the immediate
vicinity Of the Senate mine, the very
promising Nellie More mine, This
property was discovered in 1882,
and is owned Mrs, A B. More and
her daughter, Miss Nellie, who have
already made a fine showing on it,
and as early as the spring will per-
nit will again resume operations.
But it is because the property 10

Southern Society Ladies.

9 Southern ladies are great readers,
says correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press. They literally devour
books, and that may account for their
beautiful, flowery and rhythmical
sentences. Their conversation is like
the music of running water, smooth,
even and delightful, the tone Of voice
extremely pleasing, and the repose of
manner and the perfect ease with
which they entertain. something to
admire In this lies the great charm
of the girls of Dixie--they are indt :
lent but accomplished, shiftless but
charming, prelude ID but hospitlhle
Many know no more about cooking
than the man in the moon, but they
can play the piano or guitar, and sing
like nightingales; they could not make
an apron to save their lives, but they
can quote Shakespeare, Byron,
Tennyson, Whittier and all the rest
by the hour they know nothing
about domestic economy except that
the cupboards IN, st be kept locked
when there are darby servants around
the house, but they can tell you the
derivation OF "deutercscopy' or some
equally obsolete words with perfect
ease; they cannot tell you where the
poor ofthe village live, but they can
define what constitutes aristocracy tin
it would make your head swin-ill
fact, they are calculated to make
brilliant society women and rich
mems wives, The stately formalities
for which the South was noted are still
observed and the code of honer-that
relic of barbarism-still remains uh-
buried. Appearances 60 great way
down here, but the .entree of upper
tendomn is not obtained with pock-
etbooA, no matter how plethoric; you
credentials must be irreproachable.
Herein has the South the advantage
of the North--society is free from the
"shoddy" element that is so prevalent
in most of our cities up North.
