again, M onday morning, after more
than two months rest and recreation.
The attendance is already large, over
thirty nonresident students are en-
rolled, and the outlook for sue
cessful year is very bright.
Mr.. JOHN JANE, of Shullsburg,
will be in our midst for a two
weeks stay, during which time he
will canvass for Hill's Manuel. This
is certainly one of the most bene-
fetal publications, to old and young,
male and female, on the market. Il
has lately been revised and several
important pages added thereto.
MACARTHUR, of the Dodgeville
San, has been served with the sum
mons and complaint in an action for
libel commenced against him for
$4,000 damages by j. f. Grace, the
attorney who recently commenced
an action for damages against the
Catholic priest and others of High
land. John NJ. Olin, of Madison,
is Grace's attorney.
The lecture by Mrs. Lathrop, The
pronounced "Daniel Webster of
American Women" last Saturday
evening, was well attended. 1t was
a prohibition party speech, as adver-
tised. The lady is an able, inter
esting and earnest talker. No doubt
a majority of her hearers coincide
with her as to the desire for temper
ance, but not in method of accom-
plishment. The third party, to
many present, can only be compared
to the gun that kills when "didn't
know twas loaded" follows in the
wake.
THERE are some citizens who crit
icise the justice of Mayor LaMalle
in his refusal to grant license to
wheels of fortune, ETC., to operate
on our streets during fair, but that
a majority of our citizens agree with
the mayor there is no doubt. Has
anything been lost in consequence?
Not likely; while great many have
been saved the opportunity of los
ing their dimes and dollars. These
games are conducted for the money
that can be raked in. You can't
beat those fellows at their own
game. Mineral Point has been re-
garded as a soft snap-lots of suck
ers and easy officials. Railroad en-
ployes are authority on this, and
they are likely to know from remarks
heard. The Mayors action, how
ever, has caused a change of opinion.
THE Janesville Gazette says Wis
consin's tobacco crop this year will
be thing to be proud of. The out
look at present could hardly be
brighter. The quantity of the leaf
is unusually large, while the quality,
SO far as can be judged, is unex-
ceptionable. The growers fear
damage by frost, however, and anx-
iously scan the weather bulletins.
another week is needed to get their
crop fairly into shape for the shed.
With very few ex ceptions, however,
farmers will take the risk of frost
rather than harvest green leaf. Their
in '86 showed them that
a green crop was worse, almost, than
no crop at all, as it gave the market
a black eye in seasons to come.
