Flax Straw.

1t will be of interest To our farm
ers TO know that the Mineral Point
Linen d Fiber Co., better known as
the Pulp IL Paper Co., now erecting
their mill in this city, expect TO use
great quantity of flax straw, aud
will pay a price that will make it
profitable for them to again raise
flax. Years ago great quantities Of
it was raised, but for the reason
that the price of flax seed went
down and no market for the straw,
the farmers quit raising it. 1t was
also thought that flax impoverished
the land and the seed crop would
not pay for the required fertilization
to keep the land in good condition.
If a market for the straw could be
had this loss would be more than
made up Mr.. Phil. Allen, Jr.,
president Of the above company, in.
forms us that they will be able to
pay $500 per ton for loose straw
delivered at the mill, aud $500 per
ton for it baled, aud they expect to
use even more than can possibly be
raised in this section Of the state.
We are informed that an average
crop Of flax will yield two tons Of
straw to the acre, which means $8
to $40 per acre for the straw. That
certainly is an inducement for our
farmers to raise fax again, and We
expect upon this assurance TO see q
universal actively this spring in
that line.

The Republicans of the several
townships of the county will soon
meet in caucus to nominate their
township tickets. The TRIBUNE has
no candidate TO nominate, either at
home or in neighboring townships,
but it has a suggestion or two anent
the caucuses. Hold a straight Re
publican caucus in each township,
no matter whether in the majority
in the township or not. Give the
greatest freedom for discussin and
expression Of preference Invite
the young men 20 caucus with you,
and give them representation on the
ticket if desired, After a complete
ticket has been fairly nominated by
a majority vote, let all preferences
be buried in the will of The majority.
The organization and party disci-
pllne that is successful in County,
State and National politics, begins
right at home in the town caucus.
The one who would persuade you
that politics should not apply in
town affairs will be found 10 be a
schemer belonging TO the minority
who takes this method to weaken
the Republican strength. The com
ing campaign is Of great importance
to the material interests Of this
country, and we are among those
who honestly believe all these great
interests can be best subserved by
the continuance Of the Republican
administration. Having seen the
importance of thorough organization
exempliiied in the past, its present
need aud importance is only too
apparent. As a Republican you
have nothing to gain by being
persuaded that "poIitics does not
count in township elections" 1t
does count And that you are thus
approached is evidence that it
"counts"-agaiust the enemies of
your party. With thorough organ
ization in each township this spring,
with an abiding faith in the wisdom
Of the majority, and persistent
work and discussion until the close
Of the campaign next fall, the entire
Republican ticket can be elected BY
a handsome majority.

Dodgeville's "JaCk, The Slapper."
During the last month or two
several young ladies and some
married women Of Dodgeville have
been brutally attacked at night,
while out and going home, etc, by
disguised men, whose actions and
attempts were proof sufficient that
their desires were purely criminal
assault. One young lady who lives
near the Northwestern depot, which
is quite distance from the heart of
the city, was attacked in a rough
and shameful manner. Her clothes
We're nearly all torn from her per
son, and her body scratched and
bruised. There is every evidence
that she made a gallant fight in self
protection, still but for the sound of
approaching sleigh bells, her fate
would most likely have been shock
ing. The fast approaching rig put
the brutes TO flight. The man driv-
ing heard the cries of the young
lady, and upon arriving whore che
was found her in deplorable con
dition. lie got her in his convey
ance and took her home, where she
still lies PROSTATE through the fright
and struggle she endured. An.
other woman, married, was waylaid
and had both her eyes blackened by
being slapped in the face with a
small bag filled with some light
material, hence the title of sack,
the Slapper." Other ladies have
been scared and chased, but only
the two referred to are heard of az
being roughly treated.
The officials of Dodgeyille wisely
secured a detective from Milwaukee
to come there and ferret out the
rascals. lie was Informed as to
who was suspected, and he assumed
the character of tough and drunk
ard and readily got intimate with
the parties. His confidential ma
neuvres worked admirably. He told
Of his deeds of daring and deyiltry,
and in return got out Of the sus-
pected parties the diaboical aud
villainous actions they were practic-
ing. This resulted last Friday in
the arrest Of John Perkins, JOS.
Davey, and Samuel Wilcox, the
latter more as q witness than other
wise. A preliminary hearing was
had on Tuesday and the first two
named were bound over TO the cir
cult court in the insignificant sum
Of $500, while Wilcox was set free.
The men are natives Of Dodge
vile. Perkins is but little over 40
years of age, if any. His wife died
last fall and he is the father Of
seven children. His character
through life iustifes the belief that
he is the leader, Davey il a young
man unmarried.

How to Hang Pictures.

Oil paintings usually look better when
inclined forward from the avail, but
mere outlines, etchings and water col
ors are best fiat against it. A picture
with shadows should, if possible, have
the light side nearest the windows, so
that the shadows will fall naturally.
Pictures do not necessarily come in
pairs, and although often two pictures,
similar in size and subject, may find
convenient places on corresponding
parts of the wall, yet quite as often the
stiff effect by 'pairs" or companion
pieces" takes away the artistic value Of
both pieces. Paintings or any pictures
should not be hung so high that it is I'M
comfortable to look at them, but some
pictures are of such large design or bril-
liant color that they look much better
hung high up than down lower.

Forced on His Party.

1t is unprecedented that a presiden.
tial candidate forced upon his own state
in opposition to the unanimous vote Of
its regularly constituted, recognized and
unchallenged delegation can carry that
state. Mr.. Cleveland has been forced
upon New York in the teeth not only of
a solid delegation held together under
the unit rule, but a delegation every
one of whose members has, more or less
explicitly, expressed himself individual
ly in opposition to Mr.. Cleveland as a
candidate, and has given his reasons for
his opposition. These seventy-two del
egates have no confidence in Mr.. Cleve-
lands ability to carry the state; they do
not approve his use of executive power
during his term of Office, and their
knowledge of the sentiment of the vot-
ers of their party in this state qualities
them to speak with authority when they
declare that their sentiments are shared
by the rank and file of the Democracy
of their state.-New York Commercial

Another "Congratulation" on Maine

Chairman Manley, of the Maine Re,

adage that she laughs best who laughs
last" Anyway, he is now having his
'laugh." Chairman Harrity, Of the
Democratic committee, sent out a con-
gratulatory address to the Democrats ON
the result of the Maine election without
waiting for full returns. Now that the
votes are all counted Mr.. Manley has
his turn. He says:
1.-THE Republican state committee de.
sire to congratulate the Republicans of
Maine upon the full and complete VIC
tory achieved on Monday last. The
Democratic party, with the best organi-
cation it has had for years, failed to poll
as many votes by 5000 as it gave to it's
candidate for governor in 1888, and did
not cast as many votes as it gave its
candidate for governor in 1884. in 1886
or in 1875. Complete returns show that
the Republicans have elected Henry B.
Cleaves governor by $4,000 majority
over the Democratic candidate: have re-
turned to congress Hon. Thomas b.

British Papers Pleased with Cleveland's

Mr.. Cleveland's nomination was in

This leaves nothing to desire. The net
result is to make the two parties fairly
issue on this vital point.-London Daily

Englishmen will watch Mr.. Cleve-
lands campaign with cordial sympathy,
for not only is his tariff policy in accord
with the orthodox economic school Of
England, but his party platform wisely
condemned the arrogant and irritating
foreign policy of its opponents Lon

The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
ends n of the bitterest political fights
ever waged in the United States. The
breach between the warning factions
will probably extend to the rresidentia
contest and will tell seriously against
Mr.. Cleveland's prospects. Perhaps the
most remarkable event OF the conven-
ton was the complete overthrow of the
protection element and the reinstate-
ment of the Mills feeling. Briefly de-
scribed, the outcome Of the convention
Is a repetition Of the struggle Of 1888,
and while the Democratic cleavage is as
wide as it is now tho outlook certainly
favors the election of Mr.. Harrison

The editors of the Berlin Post, Vos-

had written so much in favor Of Mr..

How To- Care for an Umbrella.

After coming in out of the rain let
the umbrella down and stand it on the
handle, that it may dry in this position;
the water will thus drip from the edges
of the frame and the cover dry uni
formly. When placed with the handle
upward, as is frequently done, the water
runs to the top of the umbrella, and the
moisture is there retained in the lining
underneath the ring for some length of
time, causing the silk or fabric with
which the frame is covered to become
tender and soon rot. Ordinarily the top
of an umbrella wears u soone than
the other part of it, and in the majority
of cases may be thus accounted for.

The Grand Army's sympathy with Presi-

The Grand Army's sympathy with Presi-
dent Harrison.
On learning that President Harrison
would be unable to attend the q. A. II.
encampment at Washington, owing to
the serious illness of Mrs. Harrison,
Commander-in-chie Palmer issued the
following:
The painful circumstance which pre-
vents the president from attending the
great reunion of the veterans in Wash
ington is deeply regretted by all his
comrades in arms, regardless of party.
He was a participant in the grand re-
view Of the arms in 1865, and has taken
q deep interest in the coming encamp-
ment, and it was expected that he would
not only participate in the march, which
promises to be the great elimination of
the great gatherings of the Union veter-
ans, but in all the festivities of the week.
The critical illness of his beloved wife
has compelled him to remain by her
bedside. Speaking out of the depth of
my heart, and voicipg the feelings of all
his comrades, we pray that He who
ruleth armies and nations give our presi-
dent strength and fortitude to bear his
great affection, and that the partner Of
his life may be restored to health.
