:
of Linden are fitting up a first class
panorama, which they propose ex.
hibiting through the country, In
addition they expect to have an
audiphone and other attractions for
amusement and instruction of their
audiences.
SAND-BAGGEp.-A report reaches
us that Mike McCabe, formerly dep
uty postmaster of Mineral Point,
was sand-bagged i'll Chicago, one
evening recently. 1t is said the
footpads ritled his pockets, took
ring from his finger and his over
coat from his back, getting safely
away before assistance reached him.
CREAMERY IN PRosPECT. We are
requested to invite all farmers resi-
dent within three miles of Mineral
Point to call at Brewer & Penhalle-
gon's or at p. Allen d Sons, and
submit statements of how much
milk they will regularly furnish at
satisfactory prices to a creamery
located in this city. Such establish,
ment is IN prospect, and will be
erected if sufficient supply Of milk
is assured.
A MAN KILLED! SO must have
thought Squire Horn who rushed
upon the scene Wednesday when
DR.. Tallman was called to admins
ter to the needs of Dave Potterton,
who was jolted off his vehicle while
crossing the railroad tracks near the
depot. Mr.. Potterton struck the
back Of his head with a stunning
force and otherwise shook up, bat
is recovering nicely, thus doing
away with any need of an inquest.
CRUELTY TO ANIMAls.-There are
people in Mineral Point whose treat
ment of animals make them liable
under Section 4445 of the Revised
Statutes, and their attention and
that of our city officials is called to
said Statute. 1t provides that any
person who shall cruelty beat, over
work, lIder-feed, fail to properly
shelter, any horse or mute belonging
to himself or another, shall be pun
shed by not more than six months
confinement in the county jail or by
fine of not more than one hundred
dollars.
! THE QUESTION ANSWERED ATLAsT.
1t will be remembered chat Assem-
| blymen Baker and Crawford were
repeatedly called upon to state be-
fore election whether or not they
would vote for the absolute repeal
of the so-called Ben nett school law,
but refused to make any answer to
the question. They have answered
now, however, by their votes for re-
peal, and against all propositions to
amend the law in any way to retain
clause requiring that children
shall be taught 70 read and write
English in any degree whatever.
STRIKE 1T Our. Section 332 Of
the Revised Statutes contains a
clause that must be offensive to the
elements controlling our present
state government. 1t seems to have
escaped notice, and we respectfully
invite Assemblyman Crawford's at.
tention thereto, and suggest that he
! may further strengthen himself with
his party if he will propose a bill to
amend said section by striking out
the Objectionable clause. The sec
ton designated relates to the publ
cation of laws, and the clause refer
red to reads as follows; "All such
| publications shall be in the English
language
