Pecords stolen.

A great commotion was caused a
few days ago by the report that
three record books--one Of deeds,
one of mortgages and one Of quit
claims-had been taken from the
office Of register of deeds. The
books were first missed on Monday
morning Of last week-t.Eey not
having been used for several days
previous. Thorough search was
made but they sould not be found,
and it was made clear thst they had
without doubt been stolen The
party or parties taking them uu-
doubtedly gained an entrance by
unlocking the door, as under the
windows there is no appearance Of
the snow having being trampled,
and there is no other way excepting
through the door Of getting in. All
kinds Of theories have been assigned
as the motive for such seBseless
theft There is an erroneous idcs
as 10 the value Of these books, some
placing their loss to the county at
thousands Of dollars, but the fact'
are that if they are not recovered,
they can be almost fully replaced
by parties having deeds recorded in
the missing volumes, reproduced
and again recorded in new books.
The expense Of which should be
borne by the county, and such ar
rangements will doubtless be made
at the special session Of the board
which will be held 10 February.
There is no blame attached To Mr..
Brimer, the register, for the loss,

as the place provided for them by
the county would allow Rjchtand

License and Taxation.


MINERAL POINT, Jan. 9, 1889.
Editor IrBune:--In your issue Of
Dec. 13, 1888, | notice communi-
cation from one who subscribes
himself "Farmer", on the subject
of "Taxation," in which the writer
proves to a demonstration tnat farm
ers are uniustly taxed to pay the
expenses growing out Of the license
system. "These things ought not
SO to be-"
Certainly any man or firm ought
to pay the damages resulting from
his or their business, and in this
case the saloons ought to pay the
costs which they have heretofore
saddled on the people. But would
it not be better to "remoye the
stumbling block out Of the way" by
refusing to protect the drunkard-
making business and making them
(the saloon keepers responsible for
all the crime and poverty occasioncd
by it.
Your correspondent agrees with
the writer that "lf we must have
license then the expenses which are
the direct result Of granting the
license ought to be assessed on the
city, village or town where they
have been incurred after fair er.

the large crowds together to inspect
the stock, exchange opinions, and

As thought by some, it might be
possible that the granting of priv

bling stands on the grounds would
make up for all that was lost by uo
aid from the legislature; but would
that body in this enlightened age OF

it could be proven that such were
possible? The appropriation is

THERE is belief to the effect
that the Southwestern Wis. Indus

will not be favored with an appro-
priation by the legislature this year.
Should such prove the result the
TRIBUNE would regard it as grave
error. Judging alone from the re-
sglts of our fairs the states money
was never better invested in The
direction of improvement of stock
than by appropriations to the great
district fairs held in Mineral Point.
Go back TO the tins Of the tirst
appropriation, and contrast the
stock hereabouts at that period with
that to be found in the same section
to-day. The improvem ents are
simply remarkable, and to the auc-
cessful fairs must be attributed
,hese improvements, and to the ap-
preparations is the cause of success
largely due. Nowhere in the United

ADVERTISING by the business men
of any place, not only attracts trade
and makes money for the merchants
but brings in newcomers who help
build up local interests. A well-sup

that impoverishes the press, always
proves destructive to local interests
and is seen in decrease Of enterprise

SINCE the Adams express com

have felt the clutches Of imposition
quite keenly. There being no COM

the difficulty.
