In Milwaukee last Wednesday
evening the Salvation Army exem
plifed in parade the parable of
Christ and the ten virgins, taken
from chapter XIV, Matthew. Ten
cadets robed in white, five carryin Q
lighted lamps aud the others un-
lighted ones, headed a characteristic
procession on the march and
upon entering the hall the five
unfortunate virgins begged for
oil from the others and were re.
fused. In the hall they retired
to an ante-room, IN pursuance Of
the spirit of the parable, to fill
their lamps with oil. When they
returned they We're told that the
bridegroom Christ had como and
gone and that they We're too late.
A MINING accident befell Thos.
Huxtable last Saturday. He was
working in drift of the Hoare
Bros. mine, and in removing from
overhead large stone which was
regarded as likely to come down
sooner or later, he in some way was
caught under it as it came down.
Mr.. j. p. Davis, who was working
near by, witnessed the accident, and
quickly prled the stone so that John
TreYillain, also ut work within close
range, could pull Huxtable from
under. htf. Huxtable was pnconsci.
Gus for brief time. lie was at
once conveyed from the mine to
his home. DR.. 5. Vivian, who attend
ed him, found the spine injured
near where the lower ribs unite.
The unfortunate man has suffered
greatly, but is understood to be
doing well considering.
THE following was published re-
lative to the Platteville post-ofiice,
and as it fits closely the case in this
city it is reproduced: "There is
considerable cause for complaint at
the post-otiice. A lot Of unruly
boys, and occasionally some girls,
are in the habit of collecting while
the evening mail is being distrib-
uted and making themselves a
nuisance by their loud and bolster
GUS talking and pushing aud crowd
ing to the discomfort of well dis
posed persons. Various suggestions
have been made to the postmaster
az to what ought to be done under
the circumstances some Of them
insisting that heroic treatment
should be adopted. But it should
be remembered that the postmaster
is otherwise engaged. If the
parents of these unruly children
would take this matter in hand ii
could be easily solved. If it is
necessary to send children to the
post-ofiice in the evening, they
should be instructed that they are
to behave with the same decorum
in the post-ofiice as in any other
place Of business; that it is not
necessary TO 90 there as soon as the
mail arrives. 1t is no credit TO the
good name Of our city that it is
necessary that an officer Of the law
be stationed in the post-ofiice to
preserve order"
RAISING skunks for the money
there is in them is a novel sort Of
an enterprise. A Rock county
stock company has built a big
stockade north Of Milton Village
aud has herd of skunks confined
in it for breeding purposes. They
increase very rapidly, and as their
furs are valuable and have regular
