WHAT grand weather we're hav-
ing this fall No part of the coun-
try can produce better. The farm
ers are taking advantage of the ex-
cellent opportunity thus afforded to
put everything in readiness for stern
winter.
Miss GEORGE MILLER had the
misfortune to break an arm one
night lately, by falling after getting
out of bed and attempting to reach
another part of the room. This is
a severe shock on one so feeble in
health.
w. r. HEPNER and Monte Her
nandez, late of the Ransom dramatic
company, are in this city and will
organize company that will take
the road in about two weeks. Their
people will be from Chicago and
New York.
THE new fall stock Of Gundry,
Gray u Co. is mostly all in, and it
is immense. Everybody is invited
to call and inspect. This is one of
the largest stocks of dry goods,
clothing, etc., ever brooght into
Iowa county.
MAsoNs are still in great demand
in Mineral Point, Notwithstanding
there are some from neighboring
towns at work here now There
has not been such demand for
mechanical builders in this city for
years as at present.
AMONG the friends of Aldro
jerks, democratic candidate for
district attorney, are many who
feel disappointed and aggrieved be-
cause of the bold stand he took i"
opposition to the Bennett law. 1t
was thought that he was more
AmericaniZed.
To THOSE democratic candidates
for the assembly soliciting votes the
Republicans should ask in return
that they pledge themselves to sup
port Spooner for U. S. Senator and
the principles of the Bennett law
If the promise is made have it
drawn up in writing.
THE Republican nominee for Co.
Treasurer, Ole Steensland, while at
the front defending his country's
honor, was siezed captive and con-
veyed to Andersonville prison, a
den of indescribable horrors, as
every person familiar with war his
tory knows. In this prison wh>r,
nearly $4,000 Union soldiers lives
were destroyed by cruel treatment,
Mr.. Steensland languished for over
year, and, as an old veteran was
heard to remark the other evening,
such cruelty dealt out to him beause
of his loyalty to his country entltle s
him to any honor OF position the
people have the power to bestow
upon him.
A SMALL number of democrats
of this city went to Platteville last
Friday to hear their imported leader
from Texas, Roger Z. Mills. The
speech has been pronounced clap
trap harangue, his assertions being
grossly inconsistent; still he is duly
credited with frankness on his free
trade hobby. The speaker seemed to
have forgotten that he was talking
to the thrifty, intelligent people of
! Wisconsin, and not to the "crackers"
and "po' whites" of his section.
ANY democrat who thinks Mr.. Mills
speech was "masterly presentation
