Ir becomes our pleasure to ask
our readers to halt and read careful
ly what Mr.. Schaaf, proprietor of the
Touring and grist mill situated on
the old Galena road about four miles
from this city, has to say. The mill
was never better equipped, and there
is every reason to believe that salts
faction will be given.

IT has been decided in the courts
that if a partner of dissolved firm
neglects to give notice through the
newspapers of dissolution of part
nership, he is equally liable with his
partner for all debts contracted after
dissolution. This is something worth
remembering.

Tuos. JOHNS, probably better
known to some of the older readers
of the TRIBUNE as tailor Johns,
cut his throat at Dodgeville Monday
night of this week. We understand
that the suicidal attempt was made
at the Commercial House where he
was boarding. He was discovered
the following morning in terrible
state, the cut reaching from what is
known as "Adam's apple" to the
juggler. A cash large enough to
put your fist into was opened up, and
the windpipe partially severed. 1t
is said that a thirty-second of an
inch more to the right and the Jug
gler would have been cut, which
would have caused sure death. At
last accounts he was alive, but
chances are against him. Derange-
ment of the mind is the supposed
cause.

CREMATION, which was discussed
with shudder a few years ago, is
now spoken of among the most re-
fined and thoughtful circles as "pos-
sessing great advantages in dispos-
ing of the loved and honored dead. F"
1t will, however, take generations
before the sacred rite now practiced
will give way to the crematory. Peo-
pie may call the ceremony of burn
ing "consoling, solemn and beauti-
full, but loving hands will continue
to adorn the bodies of their dead
with fine linen and to plant sweet
flowers above their poor decaying
bodies consigned to mother earth.

The White Pine News publisheS The
following particulars Of the'recent death
Of Doc. Clay, of osceola. in that county,
by an Indian: Clay. it seems, was re-
turning from Salt Lake with a load Of
provisions, bound for his mines in Pat
terson district, when he was waylaid by
the Indian and shot dead. The murderer
also killed the horses and packed of all
the plumber he could. The Indian is
now under arrest in Taylor. His story
OF the affair is this: He the Indian)
was out shooting rabbits, met Doc. Clay,
who shot at him twice. 81 shot Doc,
Clay and the horses; maybe so wagon
too" The Indian was taken to Osceola
for examination. In Taylor he is said
to DO a bad : ]: will be remembered
that Clay and two partners had trouble
with the indians in Cave Valley about a
year ago over a ranch. All three of these
men have come TO violent deaths, and
Clay was the last to go. Many are of
the opinion that they treated the Indians
wrong. They were not looked upon as
good citizens Themselves. But for all
that, the Indian should not be permitted
to escape unpublished. 1t would be set
ting a premium ON Indian mnrderers in
