Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1889-11-07

court thus deciding will deserve the !
thanks of the coming generations
of freshmen and their parents,
Hazing in the mildest form is a
little more than childish; in its
aggravated form it is cruel, brutal
and criminal. The sooner it is
stopped the better for all concerned.
A POWERFUL temperance story
serial is now being written by Col.

JAS. A.. OWEN, with wife and
daughter Maggie, left this city Tues
day for Brookings, South Dakota,
with the intentions of settling there.
Mr.. aud Mrs, Owen have resided in
Mineral Poin, for over twenty years,
and their going from our midst is
regretted throughout the communi-
ty. "Jim'sn energetic, stirring man
uef created for him a wide circle of
acqaaintances; no man is better
known in all parts of Southwestern
Wisconsin. Ills estimabe wife and
daughter will be greatly missed in
the social circles Of our city. 1t is
hoped that their search for greener
pastures will not be in vain.
Do NOT fail to examine Gundry,
Gray & Co.'s line of jackets, cloaks,
etc. Remember our place is the
best plush sacquc market in south
western Wisconsin. We guarantee
prices, quality and fits.
AS A most suggestive indication
of the wide spread adulteration of
food and drugs which have been
going on, ! desire to state that the
Wisconsin dairy and food commits
sioner recently took thirty samples
of cream of tartar from reputable
dealers in this state, and in all but
six not trace Of cream of tartar
was found by chemical analysis.
The twenty-four adulterated samples
were composed Of tartarc acid,
alum, starch, lime, plaster paris, sand
and various other adulterants. The
people hardly realize the extent Of
the fraud that is imposed on them.
II. c. Thorn, dairy and food com
missioner, is authority for this item.
THERE Is a general complaint in
town Of dry wells and dry cisterns.
1t is said to be best not to use water
from wells that have been long in
use and are about dry, as any i'm
purities that may have gotten into
the well are more apt to contaminate
the water than if there was a large
body of water in the well. 1t would
be an excellent plan where wells
are nearly dry to clean them out
thoroughly, and not use the water
in them before cleaning. Any i'm
purities whatever in a well are sure
to be in the water in the bottom,
aud when this is used daily SO as to
keep the we'll about dry, the poison
will be taken into the system
Clean the wells thoroughly and
there will be less danger Of feyers.
