long ago.
The zinc works started up again
last week, the works had been kept
night and day for many
months and it was found necessary
to shut down for a short time in
order to make a general clean up.
The oxide that is being turned out
finds a ready market, and ship
ments are made almost daily.
The large double store of Gundry,
Gray q Co., has been made more
beautiful than ever. On Friday
last J. P. Hankins completed the
work Of papering and decorating
the interior walls and ceiling and
and granting the wood
work, the counters and other fix
lures. The store has been put in
splendid shape for the reception of
an elegant stock of spring and
summer goods and the whole pre-
sents fine appearance.
When you hear a man sneering
at the local papers because they are
not as big, cheap and newsy as other
papers, you can safely bet that he
does not squander his wealth in
assisting to make them better, and
that generally the papers have done
more for him than he has for them.
The man who cannot see the benefit
arising to town from the newspa-
per, hasn't the sense of a. oyster,
and he is about as much value to a
town as a delinquent tax list.-Ex.
Imprudence in diet is one of the
prolific sources Of disease. We
should be especially careful of what
we eat nowadays, Ind in case we do
partake of any food that disagrees
With us, we should be prompt in
the needful remedies.
Mrs. Abel Whitby, Canajoharie,
N. Y, writes; 81 suffered very
much from Inflammation of the
stomach and imprudence in diet.

Dodgeville Chronicle: John M.
Ellsworth was down among the i'm
porters of Norman horses in Illinois,
last week, and purchased and
brought home with him a little the
finest young horse ever brought to
this state-Gullio, imported from
France last August-of which he
gives some particulars in his adver-
tisement elsewhere in this issue.
Mr.. Ellsworth's enterprise in bring
ing the very best breeding horses
here has resulted in great benefit to
the horse raisers of this region and
is well worthy of the encourage
ment with which it meets.
Darlington Republican: On Mon
day morning the citizens were aroused
by the cry of fire, and on rushing
to the street, saw the smoke rolling
from Harvey's bakery. On reaching
the store, it was found that the fire
was down in the engine room from
which the smoke was issuing, and
thither the crowd rushed, but found
Mr.. Harvey coming out badly dis
figured by smoke, but still on earth,
he having extinguished the flames
with two bottles of the Harden
hand grenade fire exinguisher. The
fire was caused by a lamp exploding,
and bad it not been for the prompt
action of Mr.. Harvey, a serious con-
ilagation might have resulted from it.
The Wisconsin State Journal says:
The series of conventions for coun-
ty superintendent recently held in
various parts of the state by the
state superintendent proved highly
successful in every respect, and were
the means of stimulating interest,
and eliciting inquiry concerning the
means by which supervision of COM
mon schools can be made effective
for their improvement. The discus
sion at each convention centered up
OIL three topics, largely, to-wit:
School Visitation, Examination of
Teachers and Relation of County
superintendent to Institute Work.
These were found to be very sug-
gestive and comprehensive themes,
and the comparison of practices and
ideas upon them was exceedingly
interesting and profitable"
The case of The State of Wiscon-
sin VS.. Thos. T. Parmele was tried
at Dodgeville, on Thursday of last
week, and Mr.. Parmele cleared of
the charge brought against him,
which was that, of receiving money
for deposit while cashier of Henry's
Bank when he had reason to believe
that the bank was in an unsafe con-
dition. In reporting the case the
Dodgeville Chronicle of last week
said: This was an action brought
upon the complaint of Mr.. Evans,
of Baraboo, who had deposited $500
in Henry's bank on the morning of
the day on which the assignment
was made, under the law making it
embezzlement for cashiers and other
bank officers to receive deposits
when they have good reason to
know the bank to be insolvent. A
jury was impaneled and sufficient
evidence introduced to show that on
the morning in question the books
of the bank showed a proper balanc-
ing of assets and liabilities, when
the district attorney moved to dis
miss the complaint, and the jury, by
direction of the court, returned a
verdict of not guilty.
