Tax payers Of Richland county
will hail with satisfaction the ruling
Of Judge Clements1n last Tuesday
to the effect that il all criminal
cases where the defendant in an
action takes an appeal from justice
court, he must be ready for trial at
the following term Of circuit court
He stated a fact when he said men
appeal their cases in hopes Of get
ting them worn out or discontinued
in the higher court after having
them put over from term to term on
some trivial plea, thus causing an
enormous expense to the county ut
each term of court. He says the
ruling has been adopted in other
counties of this circuit where the
have been loaded down
with this class Of cases, and it is
having the effect to clear them out

Without joking, the play Of the
Hidden Hand, as rendered at the
Opera House Tuesday evening by
home talent, compared favorable
with that Of any travelling troupe
that ever presented it in Mineral
Point. For fear Of our inability to
do justice, we will refrain from any
attempt to personalize. Suffice it 10
say that each one who appeared on
the stage mastered the undertaking,
and to the agreeable surprise Of all
present. The heavy parts were
handled in way that went to prove
that much tirEe and patience had
been employed in the preparation,
while those taking minor parts did
well all that was required of them,
and the boys who represented the
darkeys and their plantation frolies,
were in keeping with all others in
point Of merit. The band was cut

short it proved a successful musical
and dramatical entertainment, dem
onstrating the oft-repeated assertion
that Mineral Point possessed as much
talent to the square inch as any
place of like size and advantages.
As was right, a large crowd turned
out, and although the admission fee
was trifiug, from $50 to S55 will be
the net proceeds, which amount, as
previously announced, is for the
benefit of the poor in our midst.

Death OF Mrs. John Padon

Sunday morning, in this city, at
he homo of Mrs. j. B. Padon, Mrs
John Padon, (tee Miss Maggie
Hughe@,} succumbed to the beckon-
ing of the Angel of Death, through
the agency Of consumption Only
last May did she take upon herself
the duties of wife, whereupon they
at once departed for Mandon, Oak,
where the industrious husband had
decided to locate Bright prospects
lay in their path but for short
time; sickness came, and thus it
ended the life Of one at q years Of
age. The presence of the Pale Mes
senger, come when it Will, spreads
a dense cloud of sorrow DER friends
and community, but when it seizes
the young and loving wife in the
midst Of prime and usefulness, the
sadness seems doubly intense. Some
few weeks ago deceased returned to
Mineral Point in hopes of bettering
her condition, which move proved
fruitIess, and last week her husband
was summoned, who arrived Friday,
lust in time TO take a long farewell
of one more dear to him than all
else. The affliction caused by this
untimely death is great, and to the
bereaved we unite in common with
ali in sympathy and coincidence.
"Life is a narrow vale between
two eternities. We strive in vain
TO look beyond the heighths. We
cry aloud and the only answer is the
echo of our wailing. From the
voiceless lips Of the unreplying dead
there came no word; but in the
night of death hope sees a star, and,
listening, love can hear the rustic of
a wing"

promote other interests than their
own. They may read such q paper,
but they will not be guided or inau.

A newspaper, to weld power,
must be made for all rather than one
man--for the whole people. Itmust
carry to the minds Of It's read.rs the

the champion of individual schemes.
Men who have special enterprise
