4 City Park.

At the meeting of the common
council on Monday night it was
decided to fence and grade the
public square III the First ward, with
a view to fitting it up as a city
park, and it was directed that the
work be commenced forthwith.
The Democrat regards the move
ent as very timely and sensible
one. There is no good reason why
we should not have a convenient
and pleasant place set apart for
the purpose of holding outdoor pub
lie gatherings.
The work need not be all done
at once. 1t is sufficient that it be
commenced this season, and carried
on year by year until completed.
We are sure that as the improve
ments progress our people individ-
ually and collectively will aid in
fitting up and adjoining the park
in such manner as to make it a
credit to our city.

torneys have prepared and presented
their bill of costs, which amount
to S423.50. This with the costs
already paid by the city, sST9.25,
amount to S1302.75. In these figures
are not included attorneys fees for

taxpayers of the city and county
upwards of $500, and probably
$500 will be the expense of getting
the case through the supreme court.

A Suggestion.

EDS. DEMocAT:-It is well known
that there is a large number of horn
ed cattle allowed to run at large in
the city, and they cause citizens of
the town trouble, myself as well as
others. Now if the residents Of the
city want their cattle to run at large
why not hire boy to herd them?
The expense would be but a trifle
for each stock owner, and in my
Judgment would be a much better
plan than to let them run at will.
AS for myself, | have had SO much
trouble, [ have concluded to en-
pound every animal | find running
at large on my premises, and will
continue to do so until their owners
make some provision for their care.

The Home of Stanley, Papiin and
John C.

Having frequently heard of the
fine stud OF horses owned by Mr..
VIM. Treweek, of Mineral Point,
Wis, | concluded to take a recess
from business and inspect Mr.. Ire
weeks horses.
The stallion longest in use at Mr.. Treweek's
stable is Stanley, who is now y years old; was
Rysdyke, Hambletonian dam Bessie, by Web
ber's Kentucky Whip. He is a dark brown,
sixteen hands high, very powerfully made, and
that have seen. His head is small. bony and
fine; ears small, clear cut, and tapering; eyes
large, prominent and intelligent; muzZle not
large but fine; clear cut throatatch; neck long,
fine and handsome; barrel short, round and
we'll ribbed; back well muscled, strong and ex-
ceedingly short as compared to length of belly;
heavily muscled; legs fine, black and bony; hind
pasterns white, with black eoronary dots His
coat is soft and silky; his style is proud, gay
and lofty. To use the old horse buyers saying
"He is big little horse" 1 have looked him
over carefully. and the only fault could find
was that he did not belong to me. He is an
easy, square natural trotter; keeps his legs well
in under him, and makes no mistakes. AS a
sire of fine driving horses, although his oppor-
tunities in the stud are quite limited as COM
pared to some. he stands second to no sire in
get of Stanley have naturally proved TO be such
valuable roadsters that but few of them have
been tracked and trained for TIE race. They are
gentle, stylish and level headed, to fault; and
these are the well known prize qualities of the
fine driving horse. The breeding of Stanley is
fair, fashionable and fit for the most fastidious.
In the next box stands George, sired by Stan
ley; dam by Lexington; second dam by Bull
rush, Morgan. George is a gray. gelding, four
years old; well made, and if judged by his ap-
pearance and breeding, should prove q very
fast and gamy trotter.
John C., full brother to George and one year
younger, next challenges my admiration. He
is royal looking fellow, bright bay, with black
points. He has slashing. big fine gait, and
viii make trotter; can show hetter than $50
now without any trouble.
Mr.. Treweek has strengthened his stud by
making select purchase from Illinois; having
bought at a long price. the Norman Percheron
stallion, Paplin. He is magnificent horse: and
parties desiring to breed large horses can not do
better than take advantage of so fine sire.
Everything is kept in the best possible order
by Mr.. VIM. CLARK, the very efficient trainer
and driver, who lives with his latch string hung
out" and knows no bounds to hospitality. A
visit to Mr.. Treweek's stables Is treat that will
repay highly, any horseman, and one that shall
always be remembered with pleasure by me.
