Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1893-04-22

uSuouI "Hlch tong period they
have ever conducted themselves SO
as to command without reserve that
priceless esteem which now sur
rounds them. The entire commu-
nifty joins the TRIBUNE in extending
congratulations.
A. W. CoBB's PAGER, Judge Hines,
and trotter, Homer NJ. are to start
from here next week to Burlington,
Iowa, there to be handled by an ex,
pert driver These young horses
are very promising goers, and if
nothing happens them, we may
reasonably expect them to be going
exceedingly fast by fall,
Mr.. MARK GILBANK, of this place,
is now the possessor of one of
Fitzgibbons Bros open business
buggies; also Mr.. Chas. Dunn one
of their best top buggies. They
are two of the finest appearing and
best finished turnouts in this
section, and best of all, were bought
at wholesale prices. 16wl
THE heavy spring snow storm
which almost invariably visits this
section, set in Thursday afternoon
and continued all that night, and
the following morning our citizens
awoke to find mother earth wrapped
in four-inch thick blanket of the
"beautiful." Including what turned
to water during the fall it is esti-
mated that at least eight inches fell.
1t will prove a great fertilizer
MRS. ARTHUR Nixon, of Boscobel,
was robbed in Chicago street car
last week of her pocket book. On
Thursday she shipped her trunk
home taking transfer check from
Chicago express company for it.
She has just received word that
some thief stole the express horse
and wagon, together with her trunk
and others that were in the wagon.
The contents of the trunk were
mostly new and valued at over $4OO.
a. w. CoBB announces the open
ing of the season with his standard
bred horses, Count Folsio, and
Numero. Already the progeny of
these horses are becoming noted.
Y Yearling sons of Folsio show
better than minute gait Mr..
Cobb's determination to improve
the horses in this vicinity deserves
encouragement, and it is gratifying
to note that he is meeting with sue
cess. See advertisement in another
column.
BEECH % Bowers minstrel show
given here Monday evening last
was not very largely attended,
owing probably to the inclement
weather. Those who did shell out
fifty cents to see the performance
are of the opinion that they paid too
much. There is no question, how.
ever, in the mind of the general
public but what the troupe is com
posed of excellent talent, capable
of giving as good minstrel enter
tainment as any on the road.
THERE are some readers of news
papers who fail to understand why
il is that an editor does not always
stand ready to assume the role of a
prosecuting attorney. The reason
Is that his business is editorial, not
legal, and that If he were to go out !
side of his proper field, the work |
inside Of his proper field would |
suffer, 1t often happens that an
editor has knowledge of abuses
sufficient to justify him in calling
attention to them in general way, |
for the benefit of the public, but not
sufficient to warrant him in publish
ing the names of guilty persons.
Evidence which is ample to pro-
duce moral conviction in the mind /
of every intelligent man is not al
ways enough to constitute legal
proof. The editor has done his
duty when be has called public
attention to existing wrongs 1t is
not his business to pursue individual
