There was an audacious robbery in Madison
ave. yesterday, when young woman was at
tackled and her purse wrenched from her hand.
No policeman was near, but man who wit
messed the affair gave hot pursuit to the high
wayman, in spite of the latter's threats, and
soon drove him to cover. Under the circum-
stances the police could scarcely help capturing
him, and the usual sequel to an occurrence of
this kind does not have to be recorded. Hon
orable mention is due to the voluntary pursuer,
Daniel Lalor, in whose absence doubtless no
arrest would have been made.

Ex-Mayor Howell has seemingly given up all
hope of making a contest for the Bridge presi-
dency. The idea of disputing tho election Of
Colonel Wagstaff was an afterthought, anyway,
since on Monday Mr. Howell acquiesced in it
and consented to take the Office of vice-pres-
dent. There is no adequate ground for carry
ing the case into court, and evidently the new
president will not be under the necessity of
keeping a guard over the Bridge offices in order
to make sure of retaining his chair. The Brook
lyn trustees, it is said, have agreed to act as
a unit hereafter which calls to mind the adage
about the stable-door and the horsethief.

Thereupon, on motion, the entire

Doctor Eastman, chairman of the
board, made verbal statement to

MINERAL POINT. WISCONSIN, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 81 1891

Why should Dodgevile or Lin
den act so hastily and imprudently
as they have upon learning that
diphtheria had made its appearance
in Mineral Point is a question that
all who are familiar With the facts
agitate. That it was their duty to
guard against the introduction Of
the contagion in their midst no one
will deny, but there is proper
course and proper spirit in which
to perform such duties. In no in-
stance whatever did their officials
communicate with the officials of
this city to ascertain the conditions
and facts. Instead, they seemed
ready to heed and join in the wild,
truthIess cry to the effect that Min
eral Point was rotten and her people
dying by the dozen from diphtheria,
aud raised without any investigation
the quarantine barrier against our
citizens and the travelling public
who per chance passed through here
and desired to 90 on in those direo-
tons. 1t certainly would have been
a far more ueighborIy act aud proof
of good will and feelings had Steps
been taken to learn the actual state
of affairs, as did Darlington, Any
inquiry would have been honorably
and honestly treated by our city Of
ticiaIs. In the light of these cir
cumstances many are led TO surmise
that there was in reality less fear of
the disease than desire TO withhold
from here such trade as this city
was sure to draw from the surround
ing country if the people were not
thoroughly infused with fear Of
the great danger of approaching
this city. Thanks to the vigilance
of our officials, Mineral Point is to-
da. much safer place for people
to gather, so far as diphtheria or
other disease is concerned, than
many other towns in this state, in
cluding some very near, if rttDtorS
are in the least reliable. Such pre-
caution and determination to stamp
out the disease in its infancy, as has
been displayed in Mineral Point on
this particular occasion, is seldom
exercised in any place.

don't our farmers breed mules?'
This is very pertinent and impor-
tant inquiry. The answer is at
hand. 1t does not pay. Why does
it not pay? Because our farmers
will not raise the mares necessary
to give first-class mules-the mares
lack size and weight. If our far
mers would breed good mares to
thoroughbred Percheron stations,
save the mare colts and sell the
horse colts, they would then have
mares which, if bred to first class
jacks, would make the breeding of
mules paying business in Virginia.
This course is adopted in the West
Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, etc.
You could not, in my judgment,
render our farmers greater service
than to impress upon them the i'm
portance of breeding Igood large
mares to Percheron stations, with
the view to breeding the half-Per-
cheron mares to. first-rate jacks.
There ought 70 bo, in.-ovcry oonnty-

bred properly, there is money in
mule-raising.-Sonth Farmer.

The influence Of COlors.

Colors not only influence cattle,
but human beings also. On this
point some curious experiences are
reported from Italy as to the effect
of colors on the nerves of the sick
and insane. In the hospital for the
insane at Alessandria special rooms
are arranged with red or blue glass
in the windows, and also red or blue
paint on the walls. A violent pa
tient is brought suddenly into
blue room and left to the effect of
that color on his nerves. One ma

A Word with Hog Growers.

1t requires no prophet to foretell
that corn will command compara-
lively high price until some estimate
can be made of the size and quality
of the crop of 1891. 1t is equally
clear that hogs will advance quite
rapidly and that the man who can
get a lot of shoats grown without too
much expense to point where he
can take advantage sfneW corn. will
stand a good chance to make some
good, clean money. Under this
circumstance it is equally clear that
the crop that will do to feed hogs
earliest will likely prove the most
valuable. An acre of peas and oats
that will do to July 1st will likely
be worth more in dollars than an
acre of corn coming in in October,
because of the high-priced article.
An acre of early corn, though it
yielded fifteen bushels less than the
latter, would, in all probability: be
worth more money, because fed
against old corn at q high price.
In view of these conditions we sug-
gest to our readers who have not
supplied themselves with field peas
and early corn do SO at once. Mix
the peas with oats or spring wheat,
and SOW as soon as the ground is in
order, getting them in deep. The
hogs can be turned on about June
25, or the crop can be mown and
fed as pasture. Sow enough to car
ry the hogs till the earliest varieties
of corn can be used. We never
knew time when the early acres
promised better than this year.
