Swigert.

Mambrino Swigert-Black Stallion, 1534 hands
high; weight 1l40 pounds; of high iinlsh-a per
feet beauty and of great natural speed. He has
gained great prominence as a sire in the western
part of the state.
I can safely say his get are valued highe r than
any other Stallion's ever owned i'll this sec ton.
He is certainly the finest show horse in the state
by record, having drawn the first premium at
Mineral Point in the fall of 1881. Again in 1888
was awarded the first in his class, also the Grand
Sweepstakes.
At Dodgeville he was awarded the first, both
in 1882 and 1888.
At Boscobel first in 1882 and 1888.
At Lancaster second in 1882 and 1888.
At State Fair, second in roadster class. In
Sweepstakes class for high bred rotting stations
under the following rules: speed, style of action,
breeding and their aptitude to produce their like
in offspring, was awarded the first premium, be-
ing grand silver medal, the highest prize given
any horse at the state fair.
This prize alone should convince any reason
able man of the excellence of this horse, the
competition was large and holly contested in by
all the large and prominent breeders in the state.
Mambrino Swigert sired by Swigert the
sire of Calamus 22iA; Resolute 2:2734; George
X 2:25l%; Bay Brine 22S; Swigert Jr., winner of
the stallion race at Mineral Point in 1889.
First dam, Jennie Hamilton by Lakeland
Abdallsh full brother to Herald sire of Maud s.
Second dam by Mambrino Chief. Third dam by
Downins's Bay Messenger. This breeding gives
him double cross to old Abdallah, sire of
Rysdyks Hambtetonian and a double cross to
Mambrino Chief, the most coveted blood on the
turf He traces fifteen times to imported MesSen-
ger with over twenty other thoroughbred crosses.
A beautiful tabulated pedigree can be seen at
the Post Office at Mineral Point.

A GLIMPSE AT IOWA C0UNTY'S
SCHOOLS.

The progress made in the domain
of public education in the State OF
Wisconsin has never been more solid
or satisfactory to those most deeply
interested in the subject than with
in the last two or three years
While the utility, the proper func-
ton, the results produced, the tend
cncy, etc, of y public school system
have been discussed i'll some parts
of the country with great vigor, and
sometimes even with asperity, the
several agencies that make up the
system have wrought smoothly
tremendously, and effectively, in
our own state, to secure the objects
for which they were instituted.
Public opinion has not wavered in
their support. nor failed to second
most efforts for their improvements.
BY the vigilant care of the officers
placed at the head of the system,
some defects have been removed
and some weak points strengthened.
1t is but natural for the people of
our own county to inquire whether
their schools have caught the i'm
pulse and are moving onward with
this current
While this spirit of progress has
been confined to no particular class
of schools, the special efforts of its
promoters have been directed to the
primary schools of the rural dis
tricts; among these although more
serious obstacles are to be overcome
than in any other class, the advance
has been quite rs perceptible as in
any part of the system. 1t is known
to all who have given the subject
any attention that the leading aim of
the State Superintendent, and the
County Superintendent working in
harmony with him, has been for the
last two or three years to confer upon
this class of schools such Of the ben
efits of the graded school methods
as their circumstances would admit
of. The Superintendent of our own
county, Miss Bowling, after a gener-
al visitation of these schools, states
that efforts more or less successful,
have been made in about one-half
the districts Of the county to intro
duce the prescribed method of grad.

THE CINCINNATI RIOT.

On last Friday night and Saturday
Cincinnati, Ohio, was the scene OF
the most terrible riot which has ever
occurred in this country. The dis
satisfaction which is manifested to
greater or less degree throughout
the length and breadth OF the land,
on account of the laxity Of the courts
in dealing with criminals, has been
particularly noticeable in Cincinnati
for some time past. There has been
constant complaint that there was
very little security there for life. In
the county jail there was confined
more than a score of murderers, to
whom the courts were unreasonably
slow in melting out punishment.
Indeed there was but little prospect
that proper punishment would ever
be inflicted upon them. On Mon
day of last week VIM. Berner, who,
together with a negro, named Joe
Palmer. murdered a respectable cltl-
zen and robbed the body of 500,
was simply found guilty of man
slaughter. The judge before whom
the case was tried repremanded the
jury and declared the verdict an
outrage. The jury were hooted at
bv the citizens. One of the jurors
was attacked on Wednesday and an
other compelled to leave the city.
An indignation meeting was held at
Music Hall, on Wednesday night to
consider the action Of the jury. The
proceedings at the hall were orderly
enough; and after passing resolutions
calling on the legislature for more
stringent criminal laws, the meeting
broke up. There had been some
talk of lynching but very little atten-
ton was paid to it, until the crowd
filed down out Of the hall, where it
was Joined by another crowd, COM
posed of the worst element. This
crowd started for the jail and every
body followed. An attempt was
made to get at Berncr and other
murders to lynch them, and the
police being unable to beat back the
crowd. troops were called i'll who
fired on them. The mob set fire to
the county buildings and riot reigned
all day Saturday until Sunday
morning. The loss of life was
terrible, upwards Of fifty being re-
ported dead with more than one
hundred wounded. A full report of
the riot will be found in our news
columns. 1t is a dark chapter of
bloodshed-tw horrible to con-
template Although mob law is
never excusablc, the jurors of the
country who time and again through
maudln sympathy allow iiendish
criminals to escape with but short
terms of Imprisonment, from which
they come out to renew their dia-
bolical deeds, are directly respon-
siblo for it. The too common
practice of making farce of a
criminal trial must come to an
end, if the county would avoid the
recurrence of the tragedy just en-
acted III Cincinnati.
