Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1891-02-07

No ONE acquainted with the un-
scrupulous partisan character of the
elements controlling the present
Legislature of Wisconsin, will be
surprised at the unseatiug of Scho.
field and the placing of q Democrat
in his stead, The courts and nom
partisan jury decided Schofeld TO
be fairly elected, ami Senator Kidd's
report and able speech in support of
the Republicans title to the seat
were uuanswerable; but what of
that? the Democratic leaders de
manded that he be unseated, and
every Democratic member Of the
Senate voted in accordance with
that demand.

STATE Treasurer Hummer has COW
cred into the treasury over 81 900
interest on state funds deposited in
banks for first 20 days of his admin
islration, and states that the interest
for the month of January will ex-
coed $4,000 This is a good politi-
cal card for the Democrats, and will
serve to draw attention from the
shutting course OF the attorney gen
eral in the matter Of bringing suits
against ex.treasurers, which he so
loudly proclaimed he would do as
one Of his first official acts; and
which justice to the late lreasurers
demands he should do promptly.

ii these very important places were filled
in hurry.
It looks now as If the contemplated
trip Of Mr.. Harrison to the Pacific Coast
would either have to be postponed OF
abandoned altogether, owing to the pres
sure Of official business. Mr.. Harrison
has set his heart upon the trip; never
having visited that section of the country,
and he says he will not give itup if he can
possibly get away. But with the Behring
Sea negotiations, the organization of the
new Land Claims Court, and other mat
ters just as important waiting to be acted
upon, it is not expected that he will be
able to 60 before May, if at all.
A bit Of news two years old was made
public by Presidential proclamation sew

extradition treaty with the Republic of
Columbia, which was ratified by the
Senate March 26,1Ss9. Red tape is a
great institution.

Of postscript did not care particularly
about the omission, but heard one Of
my most amiable republican friends,
after reading the article, in moody sill

not have been so prostrated, if this ex-

milder form, "What blank fool wrote

A score Of years have passed over
the Squire's head since that time,
still he retains his vitality to a re.
markable degree. Believing that
the article will be of interest to our
readers. we reproduce it;
Wiley Fort the genial old gentleman, who has
been a citizen of this county for the last forty
| years, and who has attained a high degree Of in
dependence by his energy, toll and industry
inst; concluded a few days previously to cele-
brate the occasion, and for the purpose invi-
ted his old friends who had attained the age OF
sixty or upwards.
At an early hour OF the day the white heads
and grey boards began to arrive and by noon 40
had registered Tin a we'll bound book, kept by
him for that purpose their names and ages. The
ladies (several Of whom being widowsl were
not required to register.
A more social and happy assemblage we have
seldom seen. At halt past twelve o'clock dinner
was announced, and the ladies and gentlemen
marched to an ample shade In the orchard and
all were seated to the most creature comforts set
before them, which all enjoyed with hearty good

After retiring from the feast to the splendid
mansion OF our host and hostess, the afternoon
was spent in the most social manner-fne music
both instrumental and vocal, the old folks relat-
ing scenes of the early settlements OF the CEN
fury, comparing its primitive condition with Its
present prosperity.
1t is worthy to note that the average Of the
ages Of these present was just 60 years and q
months; the aggregate being 1851 years.
Esquire Fort and his elegant wife are Of the old

A Phenomenon.

The Sardis (Miss.) Reporter COM
p liments an old Bolivar boy in the
following graceful manner;
Having watched with peculiar
interest the course of Gen. George
3. Peters since his induction into
the high and very responsible Office
of Encouragement, we have long
since come to the conclusion that he
is a phenomenal man. Before his
election, he was little known as a
lawyer outside of Shelby County
and West Tennessee. It was not
long after his installation as attor-
ney-general, however, before his
fame went abroad, bursting county
and state bounds and going every
where, like the flashing OF sunlight.
His knowledge of the law and his
mastery manner of conducting
prosecutions were not less wonders
full than his forensic powers were
8 tartling: Ordinarily cool and calm,
and even when engaged in the exs
animation of witnesses and in all the
preliminary work of a trial In court,
yet, when the time for argument
comes on, he bursts forth like a
volcano that has been in labor, and
whose brilliant flames illumined
everything around.
Gen. Peters, though surprisingly
eloquent, is not merely an eloquent
lawyer and a brilliant speaker, but
he is deeply profound, and already,
young nan a he is, his opinions on
intricate questions of law receive
the highest consideration and re-
spect from the oldest and most learn
ed members of the bar. He is a
man of whom Memphis and Shelby
County and Tennessee ought to be,
and no doubt are, proud, and will
be still prouder when he has reach
ed the pinnacle of fame, which he is
destined to occupy at no very dis
tant day. We bid him Godspeed:

A SINGULAR Relic.
Last Wednesday a servant girl q

Last Wednesday a servant girl at
the residence of F. Fentress. Esq,
found in the grass a bronze figure
of curious workmanship. 1t is OF
wrought brass and zinc and repre-
sents a flying dragon. The carv-
ing upon the wings is very elaborate
and artistic. Between the wings is
the body of the old serpent in solid
metal, with his long, horrid-looking
tail, resembling the tale of a rattle-
snake, the vertebra being distinctly
carved and curving in a circle be-
tween the neither wings. The head
is missing, having been broken off.
It is a curiosity and the wiseacres
are unable to give any intelligent
explanation of the presence of such
a thing in this country.
Some pronoun ce it a counterpart
on diminished scale of that old SER
pent, the devil, that we read about
in Revelation. Others say it was
an emblem with the Romans, and
had been used as a crest On some
~conqueror's helmet. Still others in
sist that it came from the shields
of the Teutonic tribes; Indeed,
some contend that it Is the image of
the Great Pendragonship, which
blazed on King Arthur's helmet in
his last battle, as described by Teno
nyson. All we can say is, what
the ID is it, and how did 1t get to
this country? Mr.. Fentress propos-
es to send it as Tennessee's exhibit
10 the Worlds Fair next year.
