pulse. A police officer or a man in
the police ranks should be first Of
everything a gentleman. This truth
applies at all times and under all
circumstances.
MICHAEL BURNS is the boss street
grader and road maker in South
western Wisconsin. We know of
no one who takes an equal delight
and pains in such work.
The contest for premiums at the
fair, in all classes of horses, is going
to be interesting and exciting. What
grand horses there are in this sec
tion is the common remark.
The young Republicans and Dem
ocrats of this city had a game of
ball las Friday afternoon. The
score stood 16 to IS in favor of the
Harrison boys, of course, as it will
be next November.
SEVERAL of the business men at
Lancaster who were unhoused by
the recent fire have let contracts to
rebuild. The Grant County HeraId
was issued on time through the
courtesy of the publisher of the

The value of fairs socially and
for the improvement Of stock, etc, ,
is beyond price. There are those
who take only such interest as is
necessary to make money directly,
but we believe and hope they are in
the minority.
EARLY risers have seen frost once
OF twice during last week. Consid-
ering the heat at midday the nights
have been rather chilly of late.
Where such differences exist it is
necessary to exercise caution to
avoid sickness.
THREsHING is well under way in
this county with excellent results
as to quality and quantity of grain,
oats yielding so bushels per acre,
winter wheat as high as 35, rye and
barley from 20 to 40. Such an
abundant harvest has not been
known for many years.
WE are requested by Ben Thomas,
Jr., Secretary, to state that the colt
race No. 8, at the Iowa county fair
next week will be open to horses
from Richland county as well as to
those owned in Iowa, Grant, Green,
Daue and La Fayette, Richland
county having been omitted from
the printed programme by mistake.
The race is for trotters, four years
old or under; first, $50, second, $25,
and third, Sl5.
THIS section is experiencing a
prolong ged drouth, in consequence
of which the yield of corn and
potatoes will be considerably dimin-
ished, and the product of the COW
lessened, unless fed from the hay
stack and oat bin. The ground is
so dry that farmers are holding off
from fall blowing. 1t is hard work
to plow when the soil is baked as it
is, and besides it would be labor
wasted almost. Rain is greatly
needed.
w. G.. HALEs, who succeeds W.

to locate in Milwaukee for the pur-
pose of practicing his profession,
sewers his connection with Mineral
Point at once. We lose good citl-

"CoUNTRY boys are not squash

MineraI Point schools.

The Mineral Point schools will
begin the 10th of September. The
examination of nonresident students
will be held on Monday of the first
week. The tuition in the High
School department is five dollars
per term of twelve weeks, and in
lower departments three dollars.
Il is earnestly requested that all
pupils, expecting to attend school
the fall term, be present the first
day. Pupils present at the begin
ming of the term can be more salts
factorily classified, and will be able
TO do much better work than pupils
that come in after the work for the
term has been arranged.

One of the pretty NEUROLOGICAL
tales that have come down from
Grecian antiquity is that of Alth@a
snatching a brand from the hearth
when Meleager was born to her and
carefully preserving it that he might
live. A Georgia man named Story
has kept in his family for n generation
an old pine knot, and his mother be-.
fore him guarded it up to the day OF
her death, simply because the playful
handling of it was the last act of her
little boy that died. Queer what a
price association will sometimes put
upon an object that has nopossible
intrinsic value!-Ex

G.. NJ. w. Powdorly's Special Call.

General Master Workman Powder
" has issued Especial call to the Order
dealing with important matters in q
remarkable manner. After giving at
considerable length statement of
the experiences and trials of the Order
in the past, the misconceptions cur
rent, even among its own members
as to the real purpose for which it was
organized, he calls attention to its too
rapid growth at one time arising
largely from such misapprehensions.
He treats of strikes at length, the ia
cility in starting them and the diff
Guilty of settling them, and concludes
in relation to that subject by taking
q decided stand against strikes of
any kind. He expresses his opinion
that strikes are weakening the labor
movement in America. He proposes
education as a substitute for strikes,
and calls upon the Order to establish
an educational fund. Instead of Ia
Dor paying $4,000 per year for lee
lures and $500, 900 per year for strikes
be would revise it aud pay the $780,
900, or millions if obtainable, to put
lecturers and teachers in the field.
He considers it singular oversight
in the General Assembly to have
never established IN educational
fund. He asks that the following
questions be Immediately placed be-
fore each Local Assembly in the Order,
a vote taken threon aud the result
returned to him.
!. Does your Assembly believe in
entering at once upon an active edu-
caticnal campaigni

Notes.

One OF the most important matters for
beginners in poUltry-keeping is to know
that good laying hen is not maket fowl.
A plump, fat hen viii lay but very few
eggs, while hen that lays regularly does
not really become fat, as she c:n not pro-
duce eggs AMI carcass at the same time.
Do not keep the laying hens aad fat hens
together.
just at this tine. when there is chance
to do 50, all the implements should be
cleaned and oiled. The harness may need
cverhauling, and loose spokes or tires of
wheels can be repaired. In the spring the
use of the implements will not permit of
repairs without loss of time.
Oil is fatal to every insect it touches,
and sulphur is very offensive to them. A
mixture Of four ounces Of lard and one of
sulphur, well rubbed together. and with
the addition Of one ounce of kerosene oi,
and one dram Of creosote, will be found an
excellent remedy against all sorts Of insect
vermin, while the liberal use of kerosene
oil on poultry roots will free the fowls Of
their ormentors.-1amsriean Agr;euaxrist.
With trees set q considerable distance
apart, IS we find them In the apple orchard,
the Land may be seeded without much. in
jury to the trees if small circle be kept
open and cultivated about the tree. This
will be no great task aud will save the
orchard and keep it in good, thrifty, grow
ing coIditlon.
