Highland Burglars Captured.

An incident of the republican con-
gressional convention at Boscobel
was the capture of the burglars who
raided the store of Lewis Brothers at
Highland, on the Tuesday night
preceding. J. II. Lewis, a mem.
Der of the firm which had
been burglarized, was delegate to
the convention, and being in Bosco-
bel, saw there two men whom he
recognized as those seen at High
land the day before the burglary,
and suspicioned as the perpetrators.
He communicated his suspicious to
the Boscobel officers, and they
started at once in pursuit of the
suspected parties, who were headed
northward, toward the Wisconsin
river. When the pussuers had got
within hundred yards of them, the
thugs pulled brace of reyolyers,
flourished them in the air above
their heads as warming, and then
took to their heels through the river
bottom. The pursuers having no arms
of any description and came to the
conclusion that discretion was the
better part of valor. A messenger
was dispatched to Deputy Sheriff
Devoe, in Boscobel, to come with
arms and handouts.
Meanwhile the burglars We're
hastily making through thickets and
brush towards che river bank and
were soon in the water swimming to
the opposite bank.
Deputy Sheriff Devoe upon re-
ceipt of the news hurriedly proceed
ed to the scene with liveryman See
man and merchant Lewis. The
party was divided portion of them,
headed by officer Bartholomew, TAX
ing the trail of the pursued towards
the river through the brush, and the
others led by Mr.. Devoe crossed the
river to the stave factory where they
commenced a systematic search to-
wards the river.
Upon reaching stretch Of land
known as the Stave Factory Island
the robbers took an upward course
to the northern point, where they
sank in an exhausted condition rom
their long chase and swim. AS Mr..
Devoe came up the bank, his dog
Immediately took the trail as it
emmerged from the sandy bank
where the landing was made, and
followed it direct to the hiding place
of the robbers.
The officer was within distance
of rod before his presence was dis
covered. At this moment, raising
his double -barreled shotgun, he
commanded the thieves to hold up
their hands. One complied, his
companion nimbly sprang over the
high bank Of the river. The deputy
sheriff told him that If his head
came above the green grass tips it
would be filled full Of buck-shot.
Slowly two hands came up from the
river below and the capture was
made.

An Unfinished Game.

The game Of base ball in this city
last Friday, between Dodgeville and
Benton proved failure because of
inclement weather. At the time the
game was to- be called it was raining,
but both captains agreed to start. 1t
was pretty contest for four innings,
the score standing to !, but In their
half of the fifth the Dodgeville boys
ran in seven tallies owing, no doubt,
largely to the inability Of the Benton
pitcher to control the ball on ac-
count Of its slippery condition, where
at the Benton boys left the field, and
the umpire decided the game in favor
of Dodgeyille, score too. Conditions
were such that the real merit of the
teams could not be well judged. but
it is generally thought that with
favorable weather 1t wonld have been
hotly contested. An effort is being
made to oring them together again
in the near future, and the wishes for
such result are numerous.

Wedding Etiquette,

First ard most important, the brides
family pay all the expenses of the wedding
except the clergymans fec and the bride
groom's gifts to his ushers and the brides
maids. Irousseau, reception, invitations,
cards and the like are all paid by the bride
Invitations are scrt out two weeks be-
fore the ceremony. Those which are mere
ly invitations to the church ceremony re-
quirc no answer and no more formal ac-
acknowledgement than friendship with either
of the parties would demand. An invita-
ton to n wedding reception requires that q
card be presented on the day of the recep-
ton if the invitation be not accepted. An
invitation to the brides ut home requires
the same acknowledgment. Notes of con-
graduation and the like depend upon the
intimacy existing between either of the
pair and the recipient of the invitation.
Gifts when sent should be addressed to
the bride, even when the sender does not
know her Presents marked with initials
should bear hers. She should acknowledge
them at once. New York Journal

In letter written near the close of his
life James Russell Lowell uttered half

for the prevention of cruelty to preposi

good thing to hnvo a society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to tho apostrophe. In
his recent journeyings to and fro in New
York and near it he noticed these wrong
uses of this necessary punctuation mark;

POULTlCES.
What They Are For and How They Should
BE Made.

DE E4uut.
The chief object Of poultico is to sup
ply and retain heat and moisture for the
relief Of pain and internal congestion
Other but less frequent uses are for clean
ing the surface of foul ulcers and hasten
ing the removal Of dead tissue
PnultiCGs are best made Of ground flax.
seed, but in case this is not to be had bread
cornmeal or hominy may DO substituted.
In making bread poultice the crust Of
the loaf should not be used, and it should
BIO remembered that such poutice quick,
" becomes sour. When cornmeal OF
hominy is used, salt should be added ia
each application to prevent irritation Of
the skin
The greatest benefit Of a poultice como
from its heat. Therefore caro- should h
taken to apply it very hot.
The taxseed meal should DO mixed witt
boiling water in a receptacle placed ovel
tho fire, and the mixture should be CON
stantly stirred until it is of about the con
sstoncy Of oatmeal porridge. The batter
should then DO evenly spread, about hall
an inch in thickness, on warm cloth
folded In two or three layers.
Over the surface of the flaxseed piect
of cheesecloth, white tarlatan or fine
cambria handkerchief should be laid, or.
these failing, the surface may be covered
with a small quantity of vaseline or sweet
OIL This procedure In no way interiors;
with the action of this poultce. Its Object
Is simply to prevent tho tlaxseed from ad
herring to the skin.
The poultice, after being applied to tn.
body should be covered with either oileG
silk, flannel Or cotton wadding SO thai
the heat may be retained. As soon as TIT
poultice cools it should be removed and
fresh one applied
In order to render poultice more Of
fective in diminishing or relieving deeI
seated pain as in tho chest and abdomen,
mustard may be added to the aaxseed,
Such a poultice is far better, for ordinary
purposes, than mustard plaster 1t il
rarely followed by any unpleasant irrita'
ton of the skin.
The mustard should not be added in thu
form of the powder, but should be care
fully mixed with small amount of warn
water and then thoroughly stirred into the
faxseed just before it is spread upon the
cloth. The amount Of mustard should bt
varied, according to tho severity Of the pair
and the age of the person.
Tho application of mustard in this form
is particularly well suited to children and
old people, whose skin Is easily irritated.-

IN THE HAY LOFT.

Oh, sweet, dim noentide Of the summer day
Within the harbor Of the fragrant bay
Where roll the pillows Of the new mown hayl
Ingulfed among Its scented waves lie,
Catching faroff dream glimpses of the sky,
With soft white cloud sails drifting idly by.
Far off the bleat Of lambs upon the hill
Blends with the whirring Of the distant mill,
Half glad, half sad. like human good and i'll.
Soft on the bent and perfumed reeds of hay
The fairies of the grass field family play
The airs they sang to buttercups in May,
And all the year these elfn notes will tell
or secret haunts where flower and grass root
swell
With life no frost nor scythe of death can quell.

This ono eternal truth | still must know
