Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1890-09-04
MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER

tributed to the mild winter, which
encouraged the production of fresh
butter and diminished the consump-
tion of the old. Also, to the in
creased consumption of oleomarga-
rine and the scarcity of ice, which
prevented butter going into cold
storage. 1t is estimated that oleo-
margarine now takes the place of
100000 cows in furnishing "grease"
to spread on our bread.
LET'S RECoUNT.-Reports of city
school population show no dimuni-
tion, and poll lists show as many
voters in Mineral Point now as in
1880. Yet the enumeration of the
city recently taken for the U. S.
census indicates a falling off in gen.
eral population of nearly 800. These
figures don't agree, which is right
should be found out; therefore we
suggest that some competent, relia-
BILE man be employed to make
recount of our people. 1t can be
done for $50 or less, of which the
TRIBUNE will subscribe So. Next
patriot!

SOMETHING GRAND.
The Mineral Point Fair which
is now in Progress.
1000 ENTRIES.

The unpropitious weather which
set in before dawn this Wednesday
morning cuts but a small swarth in
the way of dimishing the success
of the popular Mineral Point fair.
Two thousand entries have been
made for the liberal premiums Of
fered, and more race horses are on
hand to take part in the trials of
speed than ever before, and we have
the people in large numbers from
everywhere. Success is sure.
Every department is we'll filled,
and rare specimens and novelties
abound on every hand.
The Wednesday races were post
poned owing to the heaviness of
the track.

steamer was, but he was hardened to
adventures. The vessel was brought
to the Tembe drift, which is tidal, and
was launched with great rejoicing, the
monkeys jabbering and the parrots
squeaking' The vessel ran ashore,
and Mr.. Thorburn had to rivet on the
funnel with the end of a spade we had
on board Finally, they reached Lor-
enco Marqros, where Mr.. Thorburn
received a certificate as captain from
the Portuguese, and stood on the deck
of his own vessel It is pleasant to
add that his enterprise has been pro
fitable without aid or financial assist
ance from anyone Though he met no
lions, and fought no natives, he over
came difficulties which only tested his
extraordinary resources, courage, and
perseverance. He is clearly a man

degenerate in him, and this Thorburn

Among the narueless heroes, none are
more worthy of martyrdom than he who
rode down the valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johns
town flood. Mounted on q powerful
horse, faster and faster went the rider,
but the flood was swiftly gaining until
it caught the unlucky horseman and
swept on, grinding, crushing, annihila-
ting both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damocles,
ready to fall, without warning, on it's
victim, who allows his system to be-
come clogged up, and his blood poi
soned, and thereby his health endan-
gered. To eradicate these poisons from

or nature, and save yourself spell Of

Managing a Horse.

"When horse stops and proposes to
turn around" said Fifth Avenue liv-
eryman the other day, don't resist the
turn, but give him a quiet horizontal
pull in the direction he wants to turn,
so as to carry him further around than
he intended to GO, and if possible keep
him going around half dozen times.
In most cases this will upset all his cal
culations, and he will 60 quietly on
without much ado. If six turns will
not do give him twenty.
Gin fact, if he will keep on turning to
your rein you are sure to conquer, as
enough turning will certainly confuse
him, and leave him at your command.
If he will not turn and will turn back to
the rein, keep him going backward in
the direction you want him to go. He
will soon get tired of that and prefer to
60 with the right end forward; but be-
fore you let him 60 give him decidedly
more backing than he likes"

Phonographing Bird-Songs.
from the Spectator.


No one who, in reading for honors at
Oxford, has taken up Aristophanes for
one of his books will ever be able to
forget that most entertaining writer in
the accounts of his "birds." Every
one who has read the play will remem-
Der what the various birds have said,
and how they said it. But neither
Aristophanes himself, nor any other
writer of verse or prose, could ever re-
produce their notes, whether in writ
ing or description, with any exactitude.
You listen, and try to keep them in
your mind, but it is a vain attempt.
You endeavor to imprint each change
on your memory, but as vainly: abia,
erasit, erupit There have been number
less attempts to write down in words
the notes of the songs of birds, but no
one can say that they have been very
successful
1t occurs to me that it might be quite
possible to take down every note of a
birds song by means of the phono-
graph and then, by reproducing them
more at leisure, they could be written
down ''in score" by any musician, art
and nature thus going hand in hand. l
may be wrong, but this is what occurred
to me as a Ehappy thought while l
listened to those liquid notes of the
song thrush on the Dough overhead.
And, further, | thought what solace
it might be to some sufferer in sick
room to be able to enjoy the pleasure
without the sad drawback of its being
at the cost of some poor bird in cage

The Fatality of a Hymn.
From the Denver News.


Conductor J. ". said Stilwell, while
speaking of the Chattsworth disaster in
which 800 people were killed or wound
ed that his life was saved by the familiar
hymn, Nearer My God, to thee" AS
the train approached the fatal railroad
culvert Mr.. StilWell was taking up tick
cts in a car in which there were sixty
two passengers of both sexes and all
ages. In the car were FIVE young ladies
seated in close proximity to each other,
and as the train set forward in the
darkness they sang the old hymn,
which is one Of the most plaintive and
touching of Charles Wesley's produc-
tons. One beautiful young girl in the
first blush of womanhood sang the
verse of the hymn alone and her COM
panions joined in the chorus. The
hour was SO appropriate for such music
that every ear in the car was turned to
catch the refrain, and the conductor
stopped with his hand on the knob of
the rear door of the car until the clear
voices of the singers had completed the
chorus. AS the last words died away
the crash came, and fifty-eight living
beings in that car were hurled into
eternity. Had he gone out he would
have been crused between the cars.

A Duel With Potatoes.

A story of the church in an essentially
militant aspect comes from County Car
low, says the Leeds Mercury. 1t hap
pened very recently that an aggrieved
member of a certain congregation, de-
clining to accept his parson's assurance
that he was not one of a set of misera-
BILE sinners rather pointedly referred to
in the Sunday sermon, challenged his
vicar to personal combat, and offered
him his choice of weapons.
The challenge was accepted, the
clergyman declining, however, to use
such secular arms as swords or pistols,
but expressing his willingness to try a
novel kind of ammunition. e., raw po-
tatoes--to be used as missiles, the bigger
the better. The morning on which the
novel duel commenced was as raw as the
potatoes, which lay in heap by the
side of each combatant. The potatoes
were to be thrown alternately.
The challenger commenced, and
missed. The clergyman, aiming calmly
and scientifically, raised with his first
shot bump upon his opponents fore
head almost as large as the missile which
caused it. The layman promptly lost
his temper, and aimed wildly and reck-
lessly, hitting the seconds and missing
the vicar with great regularity. The
vicar, feeling that he could afford TO
be magnanimous, put down his potato,
advanced to his aggrieved parishioner,
held out his hand and said:
Come, Mr.. OR, l think we're a
couple of idiots. Let us shake hands
and be friends, and utilize these vege
tables for more peaceful purpose at
dinner tonight
So the duello terminated, and I doubt
not that it might be well if other ecclesi-
astical controversies could be settled on
such simple and harmless basis some

The Charm of Good Manners,
From the New York Ledger.

From the New York Ledger
No one who has any appreciation of
grace and beauty in nature or in art can
fail to recognize the charm of good man
ners in an individual We rejoice in
them as we do in a lovely sunset view
or beautiful piece Of architecture or a
fascinating poem, for their own sake
and for what they express; but, even
beyond this, they have another attrac-
ton i'll the magnetic power they exert
upon all beholders in setting them at
ease, in sweeping away shyness, awk-
wardness and restraint, and in stimulat-
ing th.m to the expression of whatever
is best worth cherishing within them.
1t is undoubtedly true that the presence
Of fine manners, whether it be to the
home or the social circle, in the work
shop or the countingroom, in the visit
of charity or the halls of legislation, has
an immediate effect in reproducing it
ing the faculties, and in eliciting the
best that is in everybody.
