At THE White House,
w. ]. PENHALLEGON,

LAwREcE, youngest son OF Alfred
Dodson, cut one Of his feet badly one
day last week. He was Engaged at
chopping cord wood about -four miles
west of this city, and the accident
happened by the axe coming IN con-
tact with d limb while being swung.
The axe struck the foot with much
force, and Lawrence having only
the felt and rubber outfit on his feet
| it met with but little resistance. The
toe next to the small one was split
IN two lengthways and the cash ex-
tended to the instep. The unfortu-
nate young man is at the home Of
his parents In this city, and the in
jured member il In as favorable con-
dition as could be expected.
The school entertainment at the
city hall last Friday night was highly
creditable to the managers and the
pupils who took part. Receipts al
Is cents admission aggregated $40
indicating an attendance Of nearly
300 people, for which the school Is
warmly grateful. Very discreditable
conduct on the part OF some boys IN
the audience was mortifying. There
should have been some one present
with authority and disposition tc

A Small Blaze.

SUNDAY evening last about six
O'Clock the summer kitchen adjoin-
ing Thos. ATOMS residence on the
south, was discovered by his neigh
bor, James Collins, to be on fire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alton sitting in the
north room knew nothing of it until
informed by neighbors rushing to
quench the flames and remove fur
niture. Although the fire had got
quite a start, it was checked with
only the destruction of the shed in
which it started, together with some
wood and coal therein, and a scorch-
ing of the main building. 1t is sup
posed the fire started from Goals ac-
cidently dropped among some old
carpet on the coal box in the shed.
The damage is not financially large,
and that is covered by insurance, but
the inconvenience to the old people
of having their furniture hustled out
and returned, and their floors flooded
with water on an evening in mid
winter is not inconsiderable. Mr..
and Mrs. Alton are deeply grateful
to their neighbors and all the people
through whose prompt and energetic
assistance their home was saved from
destruction.i Expressive of this feel
ing, Mr.. Alton had set up for the ac-
commodation of smokers on Christ
mas day, boxes of free cigars at Null
harms and Springer's.

Flag the Public Schools.

"A law on the statute books Of Wis
consin provides for the supplying OF
each public school in the state with
"a national flag. 1t Is said that in
half the districts in Iowa county this
law is disregarded, presumably for
the reason that the officers are not
advised concerning it. The Grand
Army is interesting itself in the
matter, with confidence that within
a short time the comrades will have
the proud satisfaction of seeing "Old
Glory floating above every public
shool in the county, while children
therein are being fitted to take up
the duties of citizenship when their
parents lay them down. A sugges-
ton by lady of the Woman's Relief
Corps meets with warm favor among
ex-soldiers and patriotic citizens gen.
orally. 1t is that the national en-
blem be displayed upon or within
every school house during school
hours, and that on opening each
mornings session the pupils be re-
quired to rise and in unison salute
the flag" at the command and ac-
companying the action of the
teacher. This ceremony has al
ready been introduced in a few
schools, and may be adopted in all
with good effect. AS this country de-
pends exclusively upon the patriot
ism of the people, sentiment of rev.
erence for and devotion to the SYM
bol of our liberties cannot be too
strongly implanted in the minds
and hearts Of those who may be
called upon to defend it. If the Gus
tom could be inangurated in the
schools of Mineral Point, and from
there spread until in every school,
room in the county at the opening
hour the thousands of young hands
are simultaneously raised in respect
full salute, it would be a lasting honor
to the school authorities of this city.
What say you, gentlemen of our
school board, shall it be recorded
that you request the teachers to be-
gin this custom with the reassem-
bling of our schools for the new
year?

Non-Combustible.

A miner had occasion to call at a
lawyers Office In Mineral Point one
morning recently before the fire had
been started. AS no writing could be
done with comfort in the chilly room
the disciple Of Blackstone set about
lighting fire. He threw "a lot Of old
letters and scraps of legal papers into
the stove, sprinkled them with kero-
sene oil and touched a lighted match
to them. No flame followed, and two
or three other matches We're applied
with the same result. The lawyer
was puzzled by the seeming phenom-
enon until the miner explained II

r. w. BISHOP has returned to his

paper, the Tribune, gives very
pleasing account Of his journeyings
from the far northwest to the gulf. His
call at his boyhood home Is referred
to, and he remarks that: @Notwith-
standing Mineral Point is situated in
the most prosperous and wealthy
part Of the Badger state q country
settled sixty to seventy years ago,
having all the advantages Of good
lead and zinc mines, rich soil, fine
timber, pure water-a combination

times there also. a scarcity Of work
and low wages for the worker. At
the same time, there is no suffering
for the necessaries Of life in "Old

THE most unusual characteristic OF

day was quiet, mostly in the form
offamily gatherings and suitable ser
vices at some Of the churches. Mer.
chants report the Christmas trad,
about as good as usual, but the trade
in heavy winter goods somewhat
lighter, owing to the remarkably fin
weather. Altogether II was pleas
ant, satisfactory Christmas.

The old familiar joke about the in
ability of women to drive a nail
should be relegated into silent and
sympathetic dust. The other day a
farmers wife in Oklahoma success
fully shingled one side of her dwell
ing while her husband was in town
looking up carpenter.
At the examination of the apph-
cants for teachers certificates at vi
salia, CAL, last week, the whole
forty failed. Twelve were drop
ped because they could not spell, and
the remainder because they could not
solve the arithmetic conundrums that
the Board propounded.
In the first year of the civil war
many of our troops were armed with
the muzzle-loading musket, carrying
one ball and several buckshot a few
hundred feet. Many of the men who
shouldered them still live to read
about the new electric chariot or NIT
railleuse, which quickly changes it's
position and sends into the enemy,

ic rain of $4,000 bollets. 1t will take
more than the word Sip" to describe

A Good Move.

AT Chico, California, the women
have formed society called the
Ladies' Anti Chinese League, and be-
ginning June l they ceased to patro-
nize Chinese for any purpose. AL
ready fully 500 families who formerly
purchased vegetables and fruit of
Monaghan peddlers are trading with
whites.-Ex.
This is good move, and were the
same principal followed in every town
on the Coast, there would be far less
poverty and misery among the whites
to-day. The ladies of Chico are
made of the right stuff and the hearty
cooperation they are receiving shows
that their work meets with the pub
lie approval.

Design for N National Stamp.

A well known Washington news
paper man wants the two cent post
age stamp made in the likeness of
"Old Glory" He has travelled good
deal in out of the way parts of the
country, and stoutly maintains that
in many of these places the flag is
practically unknown. He thinks that
this appalling state of affairs could
be best remedied by making every
letter carry the stars and stripes.
There is much to be urged in favor
of this plan. The postal service pen
etrates to the utmost bacl-wooda, and
the two cent stamp IS probably the
most universally familiar object in
the country. IF there are Americans
SO benigbetd as not to know the ma
tional standard when they see it, the
red, white and blue postage stamp
would no doubt familiarize them with
it in the shortest possible time.
