JOHN b. WALLIS has been ap-
4 pointed clerk of the town of Min
eral Point to fill the vacancy caused

THE Republican county eonyen-
tlon for tho purpose of nominating
candidates for the various county
offices, will be held on Tuesday,

represented.
UNQUEsTIoNABLY Deller has just

their selection.
RED oats Is being shipped from

considerable quantities. 1t com
mands about 10 cents bushel more

Why can't our farmers try their luck.

haustiye on the soil.
REPUBLICANS can not afford to be
inactive this fall in its battle of the
campaign. The party has two armies
drawn up in line to down it if
possible-Democratic and Prohibi-
tion. What a strange combination.
How they love and worship each
other.
FROM the Chronicle we learn With
regret that Mr.. Orville Strong has
been confined to his bed for some
days past by sprained knee which
he got while on his trip to the Vel
lowstone Park. At first the injury
was not considered of much account,
but latterly it has become more
troublesome, and while not regarded
as at all dangerous, is likely to keep
him in bed for some time.
THE Beech q Bowers Minstrels
are coming. VIII be at the City
Hall next Tuesday, October 9TH.
They are fayorably commented upon
by the press wherever they have
been, and we hope that they will
prove to be what is claimed for
them. Our people have been de-
frauded enough by travelling troupes
and should this result in what is
claimed for it the citizens are to be
congratulated.
IN the Grant county circuit court
Geo. A. Scuster was given Il judg-
ment against the town of Platteyille
for $3.50, for personal injuries re-
sulting from defective highway.
Mr.. Scuster was riding on the run
ming gears of his wagon, without
any box, along main travelled
highway in the town of Platteyille,
when one of his feet, which was
hanging down, struck a large stump
in the center of the road, wreching
his ankle very severely.
A WEATHER prophet in Canada
predicts great disasters from cy-
clones and earthquakes the present
fall. 1t is more than likely that the
weather prophets know no more
about coming events than millions
Of other people, yet it is painful
fact that there are millions who are
distressed whenever these predic-
tons are made. Hence, would il
not be an excellent thing to suppress
the weather prophet; or, if not that,
for the press to unite in educating
the public up to the point where,
when they see the wild prophecies
Of the weather cranks they will pay
no more attention to them than they
would to the croakings of harmless
frogs on balmy spring EVENING"
