Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1888-10-11

see their fellow voters make street
demons tration.
DURING this dry windy weather
be on the guard against fires. Should
one get started it might cause ter
rible eonfagration. A little extra
caution on such occasions always
pays.
In the case of Mark Terrill for
murder, tried in the circuit court at
Dodgeville last week, the jury found
a verdict of murder in the third
degree, which sentenced Terrill to
States prison for seven years, and
he was taken to Waupun on Monday.
ONE of the transparencies dis
played in the Democratic parade
Saturday night read, "Young Hick-
ory and Old Roman" All will ad-
NIT there was surplus of chic" and
a general "roaming" despite all
efforts to 90 straight.
THE beautifully tinted autumn
leaves may be seen in every direc-
ton. The effect of this is partly
counter-balanced, however, by the
nuisance of the dead leaves being
blown about the streets and covering
the lawns and porches.
ACCORDING to the Milwaukee Sen
tineI a fire is running along under
the sod on farm near Palmyra, a
statation between Mineral Point and
Milwaukee, consuming the black
soil under it to a depth of five
inches. All efforts to extinguish it
haye thus far failed.
A WORD to the wise is sufficient.
The parties who INDUCED in disturb
ing the services at the Z. NJ. church
last Sunday evening by throwing a
cat in through the window are sus-
picioned. The church board pro-
pose to make it uncomfortable for
the young heathens should any sim
liar performance occur.
The party who rushed out of the
ranks of the Democratic parade
Saturday night and caned a couple
of small boys that were looking on,
because twas thought they were
guilty of stoning the color-bearer,
made mistake. 1t was a member
of the ranks who INDUCED in throw
ing the stones, and he now enjoys
referring to the incident.
THE following reason for support
ing Morgan for Governor is given
by one of the Democratic papers of
the state-the Spring Green Home
NesoS-upon which comment is un-
necessary: "We will vote for James
Morgan for Governor, because be
advertises in this paper; if Hoard
will advertise in it we will vote for
him too. This is political economy"
WITH each succeeding day the
merits and ability of r. L. Joiner,
candidate on the Republican ticket
for State Senator, are coming to
light. Not for years has a more
able and upright man been presented
for the consideration of the voters
of this county for that Office. If

hopes for election, we trust he will
be prepared TO endure the blasting

Hon. IL. A. TAYLOR addressed a
crowded house last night in this
city in support of Republicanism
and the party candidates. He was
logical and enthusiastic and greeted
with repeated applause. There was
no abuse INDUCED in. The strength
and weakness of party candidates
and policies were forcibly brought
out. 1t was a good speech and will

"You KNOW" says Col. Bird, the
Democratic speaker. His audience

that he knew anything other than
how to misreprescnt, and not what
they knew. He pictured the ex.lay-
