day, refrigerator cars will leave this
city as follows: Mondays 1870 D. m;
Thursdays 6:l0 a. m. Freight for
the latter cars will have to be deliv-
cred Wednesday afternoon.
As the Democrat gives to its read
ers the portraits of distinguished
men, we may expect soon TO see the
ancient oriental Monarch, under
whose dynasty the world renowned
order of 1901 is supposed to have
been founded. Ah-see.
THE season is again at hand when
frauds and fiends abound. Look out
for them. They sell lightning rods,
machines and materials of a II kinds.
Their tricks are about the same.
They get a man to sign an order
first, then bulldoze him into signing
note for more, etc.
JOSEPH, second son of J. f. Mil
Ter, of this city, died of pneumonia
at LaNlars, Iowa, on Monday. The
remains were brought here for in
terment yesterday. 1t is a sudden
aff1iction to the parents, who have
the sympathy of many friends in
this community.
The Democrat imagines that it is
the sensational story papers which
the fast mail train fails to bring us.
On this basis how far would said
train carry the Democrat and its
1901 article? We imagine the pub
fishers would have to run a train
(hand carr of their own
THE claims of Iowa county were
properly recognized by the third
congressional district convention at
Madison, in the selection of Calvert
Spensley as delegate to Chicago.
Cal. thinks he is for Blaine, and now
expects to vote for him, but we ap-
prehend that by the Sd of June our
worthy representative with many
others will see that it will be wiser
to nominate cold Tecump."
a TOMATO Gamer of fifteen years
experience has discovered the secret
of the poisoning cases reported
from eating canned tomatoes. He
says when the can is opened and
only a portion of the contents re-
moved, the air acts in some way
upon the tin and develops the poison
The can should be emptied all at
once, and such portion of the con
tents as is not used should be put
into an earthen dish.
In its issue of May I'd the Galena
Gazette says: GAIL saloons in the
city after to-day will have to pay $3.50
licens for beer and other malt bev-
erages, and $500 for all other liquors.
There have been twenty new licens-
es taken out to-day = eighteen of
which paid $3.50 and two paid $500.
There will probably be more taken
out tomorrow. 1t is thought that
six or seven persons only will take
out the full 5000 license"
In stating last week that since the
fast mail train has been running
our Chicago papers reach us later
than under the old time schedule,
we were right, but in justice to the
train and its hands we would say
that it is through no fault of theirs.
The trouble is in the publishing
house, where they fail to get all the
papers onto the fast mail train. The
papers which come in bulk and are
dealt ont over the counter by news
dealers have thus far never failed to
come on the fast train.
LAST week we referred to James
Vile being controlled by Democrats
and that her license was fixed at the
lowest allowable by law. To this
the Star at Dodgeville takes excep-
tions, and tries to get even by assert
| ing that "Milwaukee is controlled
by Republicans and has the lowest
license allowable by law" Another
blunder such as is characteristic to
the party it uphOlds. Note this; On
