Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1892-10-22

/ which incident was gwen so mucn
attention and space by our neigh
Dor last week, happened during the
reign of Cleveland's administration
A JANEsvILLE paper says: "That
man Monahan, from Darlington" as
he is now being called, is rapidly
becoming a favorite stump speaker
in Rock and adjoining counties.
Don't fail to hear him when you
have a chance.
THAT Hon. r. L. Joiner is one
of the most careful and successful
surveyors who ever served the
people of Iowa county there is no
doubt, hence he is the man to elect.
You will find his name on the Re
publican ticket.
WHAT the Chronicle says of Ole
Steensland, the Republican can
didate for county treasurer, is abso-
lutely true: "No objection was
ever breathed against him as an
honorable, upright citizen, friend
and neighbor, and none ever can
be-"
In but few falls in a quarter of a
century is such delightful weather
dealt out, without intermission, as
our people have enjoyed this year
The shade and hammock are noon
day pleasures, while the evenings
are all that could be desired for
strolling at leisure,
IT is an undisputed fact that M.
J. Tappins is the equal of the best
clerk of court in the state, and by
his marked efficiency Iowa county
has been crowned with honor. The
action of the Republican county
convention in renominating him
will be heartily endorsed at the
polls.
WONDERFUL country this! Snow
billiards destructive of life and
property in Colorado; people pros
trated by heat in Milwaukee; in
Mineral Point balmy and spirit
inspiring zephyrs playing with the
golden rod. All this in one day.
Charge it to the Mckinley bill, if
you choose.
For SHERIFF.-The Republicans
have again placed in nomination
for Sheriff of Iowa county Mr..
d. II. Baker, of Linden. He is a
gentleman of vigor, intelligence
and progressiveuess, and, if elected,
would carry with him into the
office of sheriff such manly bearing
and bravery as would reflect honor
on Iowa county.
In post mortem held over NJ.
Meyers body, and old resident of
Muscoda, there was found in the
stomach twenty-seven cherry pits,
seventeen plums pits and also grape
and watermelon seeds. The stomach
had been pierced in one place large
enough to put two fingers through.
Mr.. Meyers had not been known to
eat any plums or cherries for over a
year. The pits were the probable
cause of the puucture and ulcers
which caused his death.
Ar late hour Monday evening
Republican, we loath to admit,
was on the street in a wild, in
toxicated condition, and having
revolver in his possession, fred it
off on High street just above where
the Democratic campaign flag
hangs and also when on the lower
side thereof. 1t is claimed by some
that the firing was done in reck
less style and in the air, while
others are of the opinion that the
intention was to perforate the flag.
No matter which, it was foolish
action which no good citizen will
uphold. Carrying firearms is not
only a violation of law, but often
result in serious trouble.
No matter how much may be
said in favor Of any man running
for county Office this year, 1t will
not outshine the laudable utterances
that could be given the Republican
candidate for district attorney, Geo.
