Kidnapped.

A case of kidnapping in broad day
light was successfully planned and
carried out at the depot in this city
Saturday. When the afternoon pas
senger train was ready to start, one of
our best known and most esteemed
citizens was enticed into the baggage
car and the door quickly closed. Be-
fore he could give any alarm the
train pulled out, and he was a cap
tive. Being missed from his post of
duty at the station, his friends were
naturally alarmed, and enquiry for
the missing man was instituted. In
vain the empty box cars on the side
track We're searched, the pit in the
engine house and the turn table
peered into, water tank drained, and
the culverts in the vicinity exam
ined. Speculation was rife, and
guessers busy. The theory having
most adherents, however, was that he
had gone in pursuit of the lady who
boxed with the kangaroo in Lemen's
circus, in whom he was noticed to
take much interest when the show
was here.
The telegraph being brought into
play, an answer soon came over the
wire that the missing man had been
put off at Calamine, and was there
awaiting a return train. He gave his
name as Thomas Mullen, and said he
was baggage master of the Mineral
station. The news was great relief
to his many anXions friends here.
When he returned on the evening
train, he explained that his first
thought was, on finding himself a
prisoner on the car, and being carried
away, that his captors designed tax
ing him to some robbers den, and
there holding him for a ransom, as
he was reputed to be man of large
wealth, in fact a regular gold bug.
But when the conductor came smil-
ing into the car, and informed the
prisoner that the train boys, having
learned that he had been baggage
master at the Mineral Point station
for over twenty-seven years, and
had never ridden mile on a
railroad, concluded that the company
owed him vacation and excursion,
and they proceeded to give him one
"unbeknownstn to him. Tom for
gives them on condition that they
don't try it again in the next q
years.

Iowa County Fair.

John M. Reese, the energetic secre-
tary of the Iowa County Agricultural
society, is exerting himself effect
ually in the interest of the society s
fair to be Leld at Dodgeville August
18th to 2lst. He advertises several
attractive features, prominent among
which is a joint debate on the money
question on the afternoon Of Thurs
day, the goth, between representa-
tives of the gold and silver views.
Through the vicisitudes Of 40 years
the Iowa County Agricultural society
has maintained its organization, and
Secretary Reese is fully warranted in
pride in the venerable institution,
and calling upon the people of the
county to stand Loyalty by it. The
TRIBUNE hopes his call will be re-
sponded to, and the county fair of
1896 will be the best patronized of
any in the societys history. We
feel safe in promising a large attend
anee from the southern towns of the
county, and in anticipating for all
who attend fair in all respects
worthy of such encouragement,

but it is believed he had lived S5 yrs.
For 10 years or more he resided in

will be of no avail as the people are
calling for Robert NJ. LaFollette.'

primaries will be held before another
issue Of the TRIBUNE, and the inn
portance Of having the right men
chosen as delegates cannot be too
strongly urged. See editorial pages.

TheMarket Value OF Cast.Out Teeth,

wonder whether all my readers
know the value of old artificial teeth
whn they contain gold in any guam
tity If they do not, | should advise
then to get good advice on tho sub
ject before selling, for ther" is au
enormous demand for sucn articles n
the advertisement columns of the
papers, and l suspect that q good
deal of swindling is done in the
trade. There is one advertisement in
which these who have teeth for sale
are recommended to apply to q manu-
featuring dentist rather than to a
wardrobe buyer. A lady responded
to this advertisement the other day,
and got an offer of Gl for her set, but,
being dissatisfied with the offer. she
took the goods to a pswnbroker, who
at once offered her G2 IA shillings for
them. If, therefore,a a manufacturing
dentist is q better purchaser than an
old clothes merchant, a pawn nbroksr
would seem to have the advantage Of
both. London Truth
