Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1885-04-09

ALL circumstances taken into con.
sideration DIR. Tallman made most
excellent run for mayor. The en-
dorsement extended him was the
equal to that extended any man on
the ticket, Notwithstanding he was
pitted against the Sampson of the
opposite party.
PREPARE to clean up your yard,

trees and adorn your premises. 1t

eral appearance and health of the
town.
A ACABBAGE-GRowER has discovered
that ice-water sprinkled over grow
ing cabbage has the same effect up
on "the cabbage worm" that it has
upon a crossroads Kentucky Demo
crst. The insect just rolls over and
dies without a groan. Thus agricul-
tural and political facts go hand-in-
hand.
THIS, from an exchange, fits most
every community: "Many of our
staid and sober citizens, who were
thought to have done with their
kittenish tricks years ago, are learn
ing to skate on rollers. Some of
their samples of ground and lofty
tumbling are remarkable, and would
reflect credit on a circus performer
of ability"

FROM a single grain of wheat
planted in 1891, says the grass Valley
(Cal) Record, grew twenty-five
stalks, each bearing a full head.
These yielded $50 grains, 76o of
which were planted the next year,
producing one-ffth of q bushel of
splendid wheat. This was planted
last spring, yielding seventeen bush
els, making 1920 pounds of wheat
from one grain in three years.
DIR. L. NJ. DAVIS fo Dodgeville
took laudanum with suicidal intent
on Saturday andwas found in an un-
conscious condition in Masonic hall
on Sunday night. Physicians were
called, but their efforts were of no
avail and he expired shortly after.
No reason is assigned for the rash
act. DR.. Davis was a prominent
Free Mason.
SAM'L FRRRELL, Of Waldwick, ex-
hibited to us the other day curios,
ity which illustrates the peculiarities
of nature, or its freaks. 1t was a
little dead pig cast at his place last
Saturday, which had two distinct
bodies from the shoulders down,
eight legs, four ears and one per-
fectly formed head and neck. The
bodies were fronting each other
There were eight in the litter besides
this, all alive and as happy as little
piggies can be.
ONE mean trick which ought to
disfranchise the perpetrator is that
of stealing and destroying election
tickets. This kind of dishonorable,
dirty business was INDUCED in on
Tuesday in this city, and the Repub-
lican tickets were the ones thus
seized. AS early as 10 o'clock in
the morning, when we know that
| 900 tickets for each ward had been
printed and properly distributed at
the voting precincts, those who went
to the polls unproyided to vote could
not readily find Republican ticket.
There's nothing gained in this
manGuvring but the condemnation
of the public, as printing Offices are
too well equipped for any party to
go without tickets.
