On Wednesday evening of last
week u brassy thief went to the resi-
dencc of T. II. Minard in Richland
Center, and demanded of Mrs. Min
ard money and upon being refused
demanded her watch. She replied
she would rather give the money
and started from the hall where the
thief stood to an inncr-room osten-
sibly with the intention Of procur-
ing money but really to get u revol-
yer, with which she returned and
saluted her visitor. Unfortunately
in her excitement she failed to aim
deliberately and missed her mark,
when the fellow unccremoniously
fled The Richland Republican
says that burglars and thieves will
probably hereafter give that house n
wide berth.
If there is any one thing for
which this city ought not to be
proud it is for this outrageous boot
ings, ceilings, -bellings, etc, that
takes place at nearly every wedding.
The crowd seems to be made up of
small boys from eight to sixteen
years old who sometimes begin their
Woodwork before the ceremony,
and keep it up for hours or until
they blackmail the parties into
paying money for the peace and
quiet the law ought to furnish, and
then if one party is bought off
Others follow. 1t is a senseless, con
tcmptible mob-habit that 10 other
city tolerascS to such outrageous
limits as this. 1t ought to be stop
ped at once. Parties ought to have
rs much protection from the law for
a marriage as for funeral but in
lieu of that they are forced to sub
NIT to an Internal bcdlam. Parents
ought to see to it that their boys |
quit it, and if there is not parental
authority enough then it will be
well to call in that of the city. Let
us have peace and decency.
\ correspondent writing to the
Shullsburg Free Press from Mitchell
county, Iowa, says: Nearly every
body for several years has been
pork fattening. Consequently the
land is alive with young hogs and
nothing but soft corn to feed them
ON. With such feed few can be pre-
pared for the market, and it is for
tunate that light hogs are in de-
mand, or the country would be
ruined. But the result is that the
fields are being stripped of unripe
corn, and the pigs have abundant
husks for bedding, while they SARGE

farmers who will soon have fed all |
their corn i'll this manner, are anx-
ious to sell off pigs and shoats or
turn them out on shares. The |
above exactly describes the condi-
ton of affairs here. The failure of
the corn crop has forced the farmers
to dispose of the hogs and ordin-
arily many of the hogs brought
to market would not be bought for
shipping at any price. During the
past month an average of from three
TO four car loads per day have been
shipped from this city at prices
ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 per cwt.
and it is thought by many the prices
will go lower.
