PARTIES in the habit of dumping
the rubbish from their lots into the
streets are requested to either burn
the same or cart it away. Com
! plants are reaching the councilmen,
who will have to enforce the request
if not complied with.
PosrERs are out announcing that
wrestling match, catch-as-catch-can
style, will take place at Dodgeyille
on Saturday next the Goth inst, be-
/ tween Jack Carkeek and Tom Can
non for $3.50 a side. Both are pow
erful men, and it promises to be a
( hotly contested contest.
WHEN corn is but few inches in
height, before the roots have had
time to spread, deep plowing with 3
shoyel-plow may be beneficial; but
after the roots have become far
reaching, cultivation with a culti-
yator or harrow should be resorted
to stir only the surface of the soil
CArr T. PBIEsTLEY is the router
of the season. Quite often he may
be seen at daybreak striking out
with horse and buggy for some
adjacent trout stream, aud about s
or 9 o'clock same morning he rolls
into town possessed of a decent
mess That of Tuesday "took the
cake"
ATTENTION, LADIES' The ladies
on the committee of decoration for
the reunion, and all others Interested
in the affair, are requested TO meet
at the City Hall, Saturday afternoon,
May 29th, at 8 o'clock, for the pur-
pose of organizing for action in
properly carrying out the duties
they have to perform, Let no one
be absent
EVERYTHING that can, will be
done 10 make the affair success,
and our knowledge of the way our
Mineral Point neighbors do things,
leads us to believe that they will
make the present reunion a series of
splended successes that viii eclipse
all former reunions ever held. Oar
ling will send large delegation
Republican.
TnE ladies' of the w. c. r. L. at
Lancaster, have undertaken the
work Of sending box Of flowers to
Chicago on Tuesday afternoon Of
each week, to be distributed among
the hospitals and charitable institu-
tions of the Garden City. The ex-
press company carries the flowers
free Of charge, and they will be dis
trbuted by the Flower Mission Of

TnE trial Of the stone crusher
made by Lanyon Bros. for the city
proved successful and satisfactory
10 The couuclmen. 1t accomplished
with ease all, and more, than was
required The makers may well
feei proud. 1t is grand piece Of
work. No town or city ought to be
without Que like it, The crusher
can break seven tons Of glass rock
per hour.
SOME one, who is neither a friend
10 the ctly or the soldier, has started
the report in sections west Of here,
to DEE Eject that it has been decided
no' TO permit teams coming from
THAI direction to the reunion proceed
any luther than JAS Spensley's
residence. Such an idea is absurd,
and no reasonable person will take
notice Of it, We understand an ef-
fort will be made to keep teams of
Of High street which is certainly
very reasonable.
AN exchange says: "Ilere is an
other tllck that needs watching
! One harper agrees to buy a farmers

and ofTels him $500 more, and gets
the promise Of it, if the farmer can
buy off No. J, who comes around
and demands fuIfllment Of the con
tract, but will give up for 5000
This the farmer pays and the second
purchaser never returns Farmers
