Tuesday in badly disabled condi-
tion. Having climbed up rope to
adinst pulley in barn, he slid
down the rope to the hay NOW be
low and struck his bare foot upon a
pointed stake, which penetrated the
center of the foot to the skin on the
upper side. AT best the young man
will be laid up for a long time.
EDITOR TAYLOR, Of Linden, il
learning to ride bicycle. Reports
say he is not yet master of the
machine; that when he mounts
he is not certain whittier 1t will
convey him. The unexpected and
inconsistent editorial treatment of
political subjects by Mr.. Taylor re.
sembles the NOV ements of his wheel.
But it is hoped that with practice he
will be able to manage both editorial
pen and bicycle SO that they will
cease to land him where he doesn't
want to 90.
NEXT Sunday, the 10Th inst, the
Primitive Methodlsts will hold their
usual "Day's Meeting" in Jewell's
grove, about five miles northwest of
this city. Services will begin al
10 a. m. Sermons before noon by
Rev. Titmarsh, Of Dodgeyille, and
II. Allen, Jr. Afternoon services
beginning at o'clock, with SER
mons by Rev. M. Breeze, of Linden,
and Rev. s. X. Chubb, of Mineral
Point. Weather being favorable a
grand day Of worship is assured.
REPUBLICANS have confidence
that they will elect their ticket in
Iowa county this fall. This is seen
in the many candidates for places
on that ticket. Already we hear of
three or four willing To make the
race for assemblyman; half dozen
want to run for sheriff; two or three
for treasurer, and as many more for
clerk of court. For register, dist.
attorney and school supt. it seems
to be conceded the present incum-
bents should be continued No one
is yet reported as anxious to com
pete with Halverson for county
clerk.
HALF a dozen or more petty bur-
glaries have been perpetrated during
the past week or two in this city.
The heaviest hauls reported are from
Charles Springer, who lost several
dollars worth Of cigars and dollar
or two in change which was left in
the money drawer; Joseph Arthur,
from whose house two watches and |
about $l3 in money were taken;
Gordon d Sehaumberg, whose sa-
loon was looted Of at least 81 in cash. |
From other houses bread, meat,
vegetables, etc, have been stolen,
and one garden was robbed of pota-
toes. Indications are that the thiev-
ing is by some one in need Of pro-
visions for immediate use.
Tom BISHOP, who is at present
chairman of the Brookings county, |
South Dakota, commissioners, de-
declines reelection. Toms modesty |
always was a drawback to his ad-
vancement; but his failing is not
uncommon among newspaper men,
of which he is one of the best OF |
the crops ia South Oak. Tom says,
in his paper, the VoIga Tribune:
"From the words Of conservative
farmers and grain buyers sthe Tribune
estimates the average wheat yield in
this vicinity at FIVE bushels per acre,
some well informed people
are inclined to put it as high as I
seven; the range is from fields that |
have absolutely produced nothing
to some that will 60 from 10 to 20 |
bushels. Oats are very light; there |
are more fields that will not 60 10
bushels than their are that will.
Flax is worse still on the average.
We may have some corn yet if
and we have had that aif" in our
mouths all summer Potatoes are an
IF" crop also. Hay il scarce, not |
one.tifth Of the usual cro.,. It's
bad year all round"
