Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1885-10-29

Wisconsin have committed suicide,
without any apparent cause, during
the past fortnight-Chas. Tate, of
Viola, Richland county, for whom
| VIM. Hewitt went from here to clerk,
and Herman Fabes, of Sparta.
There are no reasons given in either
case Both were well-to-do and
reasonably prosperous. Surely there
ought to be a great revival of inter
est in the value of human life.
Suicides are too alarmingly
frequent.
THESE colossal decorative paint
ings, to be seen at the ends of the
two grand arcade skylights in the
Chapman store, at Milwaukee, are
allegorical representations of the
four seasons, "Spring," Sumner
"Autumn," and "Winter." They
are painted in oil upon immense
homogeneous sheets of heavy canvas
expressly imported for this purpose, +,
and are glued to the walls especially
treated to receive them. 1t is per-
haps needless to say that each pic
ture is original IN design and oompo-
sition. In the treatment of the sub
ject, the Seasons" as here repre-
scented, are personifed in the forms
of lovely nymphs and playful
cherubims.

The MoNrFoRr LEAD AIINE.-On
Saturday last a representative of
The Herald visited the scene of the
recent strike of lead at Montfort,
and was shown samples of the ore
by Mr.. p. NJ. Donahoo, who is in
charge Of the work Of drilling the
well for the cattle yards. The vein
is about 4 feet thick, but it is doubt
ful if the Northwestern railroad
company, upon whose land the find
is, will either sell or operate it.
Like the boy who was fishing for
catfish and caught pike, which he
threw back into the water with the
remark that "when he was fishing
for cats he wanted cats" the rail
road is after water, and any veins of
lead, coal or gold, are all well
enough but entirely out Of their line.
