Every time | read OF a policeman shooting
at a man who Is running away from arrest |
wonder by what warrant of law the officer
takes such chances of committing homicide.
Possibly he has n right to draw and even to
use his ever.ready revolver to rercl resist
ance to legal arrest or to prevent or stop tho
flight of man already under arrest
but that he is privileged to shoot at or shoot
down a man who runs away from him before
he has read the warrant to him, | don't
believe; and some Of theSo times a police
man too ready to draw his bludgeon and to
fire his gun will find out that even suspects
have rights that even blue coats and brass
buttons are bound to respect

ChiIdren'S Day.

ChilGren's Day is an institution of the Metho d.
st Episcopal church 1t was inaugurated i'll 1866,
on the recommendation of the Centenary Com
mittee, that one sunday in 1866 be set apart for
the children to make a donation. The children
responded literally, and OH the recommendation
of the general conference OF the church set apart
annually thereafter one Sunday in June as a
children's day. The Sunday Schools continued
to give literally, and the money was put into
fund, the interest of which was to be loaned to
worthy members of the Sunday schools of either
sex, for the purpose of obtaining more ad-
vanced education. About 100000, interest and
profits of this fund, has been loaned to over 200
students, not all of whom have graduated; but
of the number who have graduated, over 200 are
now ministers of the gospel, and twenty five are
foreign missionaries in Japan. India, Bulgaria,
South America and Mexico. So 1t will be readily
seen that the funds given by the children have
been o. EoGd AZ the Gon ni
it was ordered that as this fund was growing SO
rapidly, the whole principal should be loaned
TO poor students. II will be noticed that this
money is not given TO the students absolutely, but
Is simply loaned to them upon the condition that
it shall be repaid i'll case the recipient Is ever
able to repay it.
The Children's Day services at
the M. Il. church, in this city were
very beautiful and impressive in
deed. The Sunday School has a
large attendance; and the pastor,
superintendent and pupils, all
worked zealously together to make
the children's day services most
grand and beautiful The church was
tastefully decorated with flowers and
plants, which together with the child
rem with their bright and happy faces
presented a most lovely scene. The
exercises consisted of repeating the
Apostles creed; responsive readings,
which were Joined in by school and
congregation, singing, essays and
Rotations by the children, and
addresses by the superintendent, the
pastor and Rev. Alfred Charles. The
great central truth the superintend-
.ent sought to impress upon the
minds of his hearers, ought to be
felt and realized by all christians,
and christian parents especially,
that the best way to have christian
men and women is to train up
christian children; that it was wrong
to give the world, the flesh and the
devil a chance at a human soul
before bringing christian influences
to try to save it. During the ser
vices several children were baptized
by the pastor.

The annual picnic of st. Mary's
German Catholic school was held in
Gillman's grove on Tuesday. The
day was most pleasant and the grove,
although situated quite a distance
from town, makes most charming
picnic ground. The attendance was
quite large, and, enlivened by exhil-
arating strains of the Mineral Point
band, the day was one of real pleas
ure and enjoyment.
D. P. Beech, secretary, has mailed
this week several hundred pounds
of P remium Lists for the sixteenth
annual southwestern Wisconsin fair,
to be held in this city Sept. l, 2, 3,
and 4, 1885. The list this year makes
pamphlet of sixty-four pages, the
largest ever issued by the associ-
alton. The liberal list ofpremiums
and the well filled advertising pages
speak well for the association and its
patrons. Every effort will be made
to have the coming fair exceed
any heretofore held in Mineral Point.
On Saturday last Mr.. Michael
McKenna placed upon our table a
Limberger cheese from the Pine
Grove cheese factory, of the town of

warranted not to kill" It proved
to be very fine. The Pine Grove fac
tory is under the supervision of
Messrs. Regez Brothers who are
managers of sixteen other cheese
factories situated in Iowa and Green
counties.
Melancthon w. Cary, brother of
John w. Cary, of Milwaukee, died
suddenly at Racine, at IL o'clock on
Monday night, of rheumatism of
the heart. Deceased was born in
Shoreham, Addison County, VT.
October 26, 1911, and settled in
Racine in October, 1850. For the
first three or four years after his
arrival he was clerk in the post
office; afterwards he was mail agent
on the the Racine q Mississippi,
now Western Union road. He was
elected city treasurer in the spring of
1874 and held the office for three
years.
The last swindling device is where
a gentleman, representing himself to
be connected with some Chicago
provision house, circulates a paper
among the farmers, asking their
opinion as to the probable crop this
season, carefully noting down the
answers. At the conclusion he asks
the farmer to sign it, Gust to give
the report an appearance OF being
correct" And in nine cases out of
ten a good healthy note turns up in
the hands of an innocent purchaser,
which will have to de paid. Farmers
should pc prepared to receive these
gents with a double barreled shot
gun.-Platteville Witness.

Pastry Without Butter.

The American pie has been sub
jected to more unjust abuse from
foreign writers than any other of our
distictive products, if we except the
recent TRADE against the American
hog. And yet We cannot say that
it has been altogether undeserved,
because of the villianous compound,
thick, hard and heavy, that is too
often made to do duty as ''crust"
and which by courtsey is called
pastry Light, tender, flaky, and
digestable pie-erust and all kinds of
pastry can be made most readily by
the use of Royal Baking Powder
without any butter, or with half the
usual portion, if preferred, or with a
small quantity of lard or shortening
as desired. Pie-crust thus made is
much more wholesome and diges-
tible, being more economical and
easier prepared. In addition to
saving all the butter if desired, one
third the flour is also dispensed
with, as the crust is rolled that
much thinner, the leavening quail
ties of the Royal Baking Powder
swelling it to the requisite thickness.
If drippings or lard be used, the Roy
al Baking Powder removes and un-
pleasant taste, rendering the crust
as short. sweet and pleasant as if
made from the finest butter. Those
who know the appetising qualities
of the genuine homemade American
pie will rejoice that by the aid Of
Royal Baking Powder i'll the pastry
it can be made quite as digestible rs
it is delicious.

Progressive Euchre Parties.
Communicated.

bOHliuuHlcdtcu
Progressive Euchre still tlourishes
with surprising vigor. 1t seems to
lose none of its interest, although its
bloom of novelty was well rubbed
off in the winter months. 1t has
drawn its devotees closer together,
has made them more thoroughly
acquainted with each other, has prov
ed "sweet boon to many an anx-
axious hostess, who without its pow
erful aid would have hardly cared to
open her doors, and has made the
winter and spring seasons just past
as brilliant socially as they were
ever known to be in the palmy days
of yore, when Mineral Point was at
its best. Mrs. Snow started the
spring season with very pleasant
party on the evening of the ninth
of April. Mrs. Chase's party No. 2
followed a week or so after, and was
in turn followed by that of Mrs. VIII
Ross. Mrs. Gales No. 2 came next,and
then came the two largest euchre par
ties yet given, Mrs. VIII Jones's and
Mrs. Strachan's, the latter reaching
the maximum with fifteen tables.
Mrs. Spensley's No. l and Mrs.
Phillips's and Mrs. Wilcox's No. 2
came the following week. The flow
cry month Of June has thus far Civ
en- US four parties, and probably the
four prettiest parties yet given,
thanks to the airy toilets of the
ladies, and the very pretty favors
distributed. The Shakespeare club
monopolized the first of June and
Mr.. Gundry's residence very success
fully. Miss Hanscom's party. on the
9Th, was distinguished by its unique
favors and score cards. and by the
beautiful progressive prize which
Mrs. Chase was SO fortunate as to
win. Mrs. Wilcox's No. 3, on the
9th, was very successful in every re-
spect, and pa rticularly noteworthy
owing to the brilliant playing of
Miss Nelly Henry and Mr.. Jot
Hanscom. Mrs. Spensley's No. 2, on
the evening of the 18th, was also
most successful, the /" BOBBY prizes
best, with perhaps Mrs. Shows ex-
cepted, yet given. They were two
calf-bells, gilded and inscribed,
Lost 1t would be unkind to
mention the winners names. This
week Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Parmele
will give parties, and there are ru-
mors of variouslparties projected for
| summer nights yet to come.

The interior of the Primitive
Methodist church of this city has
undergone a thorough fitting up
and has been handsomely decorated,
repainted, etc. New shutters have
been placed upon the inside of the
windows and other valuable i'm
provements made. The painting,
granting and decorating was done by
J. P. Hankins and presents a very
beautiful appearance. The entire

to something over 5000. The Ladies
Aid society raised over 500 for the
work, and excepting about $1,000
the Indebtedness has been meet.
The re-opening services held in the

PHOTO-PORTRAIT
G. & NJ. u. S. CR AN II
iex24 Inches.

There are many portraits of GEN. GRANT, as
there were of GEORGE WASHINGTON, but the por.
trait of Grant by BogaIius, taken just after his
return from the trip around the world, when at
the zenith of his fame, i'll the prime of life and
in perfect health is the only one that will be
known in the future. The portrait of Washing
ton by Stuart is the one known to the masses;
even children recognize ii before they know the
alphabet. The portrait of oUE OLD COMMANDER,
as taken at the time we refer to, is the one that
will live in the minds of the people ofthe country
hesaseds millions saw Gen. Grant at about the
time this was taken. Even though Gen. Grant
shall happily be spared TO his country for another
generation, he can never have portrait taken
that will fill the popular eye and heart as this one
does taken when at his best. Hence this will be
the portrait of history No steel engraving or oil
painting can compare, as likeness, with the
photograph-the mirror of the face.
No one can look at the portrait without dis
covering the signs of character that won battles
during the war; and of late has driven death
from his door when all others quailed with fear.

ter card of JOY at the probable recovery of the

A Sad Career.

The divorced wife of a Bonanza
millionaire recently came to a
mournful death principally from
taking chloral, which unsettled her
mind and demoralized her whole
system. She had been weakly and
ailing and felt her need of some
thing to drown her sorrows and brace
here up. Had she taken Browns
Iron Bitters she would have been in
vigorated so that she could have
fought her sorrows of, and enjoyed
healthy life. This valuable medicine
cures general debility, tcles the
nerves, strengthens the muscles and
aids digestion.
