ASYLUM NOTES.

A case Of erysipelas has broken out
at the asylum and great precautions
are being taken TO- prevent its spread
among the other patients, who are
all now especially susceptible to con-
tlgiOn from the fact that they have
all been recently vaccinated.
There are also several cases of
measles in the close vicinage of the
asylum and constant watchfulness
is required to keep this disease from
entering the institution.
Ed. Kelley, the attendant who
was taken down several days ago
with scarlet fever is doing well, his
attack being very light.
There are now 4SO patients in the
institution, which has accommo-
dations for only about 400.
The work on the new wing is
progressing rapidly and then there
will be ample room.
Twelve patients were discharged
during February and up to the 25th
of the month twenty-five new
patients had been admitted: but
since that time only one new one
has arrived. The number received
last month has never been exceeded
but once, in March, 1887, when
.wenty-nine patients were received.

ED. CAPITOL JOURNAL: - Tit
> CAPITAL JOURNAL made its frs
appearance in our town on Friday
Of last week. 1t is needless to say
we were much pleased with its ap-
pearance and the general make W
of its contents. Let it continue as
it has begun and success is certain.
While we glory in its Republican
ism we can but hope that it will
never submit to bosses and bossism.
! The essential, nay, the very founda-
ton principle, of the republican
party, is freedom both of thought
and action, and the body of the
party will never subTGit without a
struggle to be bOsse3 and dictated to
by any one, much less by traitors
and such we regard Joe Simon.
Pity tits that he was not Ousted at
the meeting of the State Central
Committee. With a united and
harmonious party no democrat
need apply for office in our state
election; but with Simon at its head
hundreds will either vote with the
prohis or go over to the democrats.
Give us pure, clean men and victory
is ours.
Our school meeting to-day was
well attended, resulting in the cleo
ton of j. r. Miller for director and
w. H. Hobson, clerk.
The family of Mr.. VIM. Smith,
near Sublimity, ,ssare sorely afflicted
with something like malignant cry
sipelas, most of the family being
attacked more or less severely. 1t
has resulted, so far, in two deaths.
Last week a son IA years of age, and |
to-day the wife and mother passed |
over to her long home, while itseems
doubtful if some of the others can re-
cover.
Socially our citizens have been en-
jOying themselves. Entertainments,
balls, socials and surprise parties
have followed each other in rapid
interspersed with shows,
lectures, etc. to the entire satisfac-
tiOn Of all concerned.
We have about concluded that we
will not get our much needed bridge
his year; but next year we will have
t or know the reason why.
Our machinery of all kinds is al
most idle at present on account of
he scarcity of water, the race being
illed with gravel near its exit from
he river; but it is being cleared as
asst as practicable and we hope soon
o have an abundant supply of INA
ure's greatest native powerr."
Hopes are now entertained that {
york will be resumed on the o. P.
!. r. in the near future.

Snagged..
: Ow IN THE OLD COURT HOUSE.
Between Big Ios" and Notorious Woman, 10
Which the Lsiten Life IS Threatened,

Last evening Jennie Ann Bowers
notorious woman who lives in the
old court house, swore out a warrant
in Justice O'Donald's court for the
arrest Of one Joseph Simonaux,
charging him with assault with
intent to kill. Simonaux was inn
mediately arrested and placed in
the county Jail by Sheriff Minto.
This morning Justice ODonald
called the case; but upon motion
postponed the hearing TO tomorrow
at ! o'clock p. m, upon the motion
Of District Attorney Belt who wished
to have time 10 investigate the
matter and the prisoner was dismiss
ed from custody upon his own
recognizance:
The facts in the case as near as we
can learn are about as follows: The
old court house Is divided into
several apartments which are Oc-
cupied by Simoneaux, who is better
known as "Big Joe" or French JOe,"
Grant Wagner and Mrs. George,
George Johns the gambler, Mrs. Ann |
Bowers, the plaintiff in this action,
and several other notorious char
acters. "Big Joer claims that his
neighbors, especially Mrs. Bowers
whose apartments are next to his,
have been I'm the habit of disturbing
and annoying him I'm many ways,
especially by wild midnight orgies
and bacchanalian revels, which
have disturbed his slumbers and
made his nights hideOus. He has
repeatedly demonstrated with Mrs.
Bowers and requested her to make
a little less noise when she is
entertaining her friends, but last
night when he went home some
what under the influence of liquor,
he found that Mrs. Bowers was again
making merry and he determined
to put stop TO II. Accordingly lac
siezed an AK and with IL chopped
down the thin board partition be-
tween the two rooms aud entered !
Mrs. Bowers sappartment demanded
hat the disturbance should cease, |
and threatened dire vengeance II il I
lid not. This lead TO his arrest.
The old court house Is establishing
n unsavOry reputation as place of
Y iame and resort for the most
'iclous element In Salem, and many (,
acts rather unfavorable TO It's in ii
ateswlll probably be broughtout In \
O-mOrrow's examination. "

OUR RESOURCES.

The visitor to River Falls is sur
| prised at the large amount of manu-
featuring done at this point, although
his surprise disappears when the ex-
| cellent water power has been visited
and examined. Within the city limits
the Kinniekinnic las five falls on the
main stream, while two others are
found on tie south branch, thus CIV
ing powers which have never yet been
fully used. Four Of these are now
partially occupied by Touring mills,
whose success is a guarantee of their
value. By the side OF the fourth fall
is found the Junction Mills, with
capacity of 900 barrels daily, thus Civ
ing employment to about fifty men.
| Their product is shipped almost en-.
TREY to Eastern markets, although
some of it gOestO places in Wisconsin.
The wheat is obtained from Minnesota
and Dakota, the company owning two
eleVa' ors, one located at Belle PLANE
and the other at Blue Earth City The
fact that wheat can be brought from
Minnesota and Dakota TO River Falls
and turned into -four with profit shows
the value and the economy of the local
water power, which is yet to be thor
oughly appreciated. This company
make their own barrels 1t this point
as it can be cheaply done, and thus
furnish employment to more men.
Along the river above are found the
Putnam mill, which employees fifteen
men and turns out l25 barrels of flour
every day; the Armstrong mill, which
uses the labor Of ten men and puts 70
barrels on the market daily. and the
Cascade mill, which employs five men
and has product of so barrels every
twenty-four hours. Surely the daily
product of $50 barrels of -four is a
record of which River Falls may well
be proud. To accommodate these
mills in their shipments, the railroad,
in cases where they were at distance
from the main track. have put in side
tracks, thus giving them every IA
cility. The people are DESTROYS. how
ever, of doing even more. On the
south branch of the river there is an
excellent water power, which has
never been utilized and which is less
than one half mile from the business
portion. This power, while not as
large as those on the main stream, is
sufficient for many mills, and could be
obtained at reasonable valuation. A
bonanza for milling purposes is found
in an unused power on the main
stream about mile from the heart of
the village. Here a power of l25
horse power is embarrassed, and is
wasted day after day for lack of some
mill to use the water as it hurries by.
There no better power on the stream.
and the banks are all that could be
desired for erecting mill of any kind.
1t is, of course, only question OF
time when some one will secure this
power, which at present is open to the
first comer.-Pi Pioneer Press.
