There is no elew to the perpetrators
of the crime, as the O'Neil's, who
were well-to-do farmers, are not
known to have had any bitter
enemies.
THE coolest this winter in Min
eral Point SO far was the morning
after Thanksgiving, when the ther-
mometer registered 5 above zero.
Monday morning of this week it
was as low as 10 above. No zero
weather as yet, you see.
THE late change made by Chas.
Springer, cigar manufacturer and
tobacconist, should have been re-

THE executive committee of the
Iowa County Agricultural Society

assessment of one dollar for the
purpose of defending the society in

in due time and say 81 told you sol"
The celebrated Weber Concert
Company has been engaged for the
fourth card of the Concert Course.
This company comes highly recon-

anticipate something grand. Re
served seats so cents; general ad-
mission 35 cents; children 25 cents.

Ir is not work that kills, but wor-
ry. 1t is not the revolution that
destroys machinery, but friction.
Work is good for the soul, good for
the body and good for the mind. If
you want good appetite, don't
worry. If you want to stand well
with yourself and the world, and
want things to go right in your
home and your business, don't
worry. If you want to size up one
hundred cents on the dollar, do not
worry,
