A Good Word from Highland.
Weekly Press.

Weekly Press.
Renewed life has been put into our
mining community within the past
week by steady demand Of healthful
proportions Of drybonc. Buyer Snow
Of the Mineral Point Zinc and Oxide
Co., purchased small piles ranging
from fifty TO two hundred tons, and
nearly all of the Lewis a. Lynch Min
ing Co. y product, about 900 tons or
more. Although the price paid is not
up to that of former years, it must be
reasoned that there has been II weak
demand for oxide and that there are
many more mining camps in South
west Wisconsin with which we have
been bLought into competitions. 1t Is
therefore prudent TO accept present
conditions in good grace and our
miners should bear no Ill will toward
the Mineral Point Go. or buyer Snow
who has always done his best, il do
ing IL now and has always invited res
pcct by his manly behavior. These
late purchases to be shortly followed
by more at perhaps better figures
should there be any advance in the
price of oxide or spelter will put II
handsome sum of money into circula-
tion In this district and give employ
mcnt to II long stream of teams and
teamstors, a large amount of mining
ground neglected ON account of no de-
mand for ore will be the sccnc of re-
newcd activity before long and ii
behooves our people and those partic-
ularly engaged In mining to stand by
the Mineral Point plant, as it is and
must continue To be in the future our
only market, The mining camp at
Contcrvillo alone shipped to Montfort
ON last Saturday forty loads of ore,
ut least 10 tons IN itself \ neat little
fortune.

to the extent above outlined, II would
not only afford protection to the bust
ness portion of the city but also, in a
measure, to property in every part OF
the city, and be the nucleus of a water
works system the full benefits OF which,
in time, the people Of the city in gen
eral would share. The Democrat be
lieves, further, that the question OF
securing fire protection for our city
demands immediate attention, and that
the most feasible way to secure such
protection is by adopting the plan sug-
gested and outlined by Mr.. Crellin.
The plant can be put in for much less
cost than it could have been put in a
year ago, there being a reduction OF
at least % per cent in the cost Of pipes
for the mains. Further. at least one
half of the money expened in construct
ing the plant will be expended for
labor and materials obtained at home.
And AZ the property on High street
would be assessed to pay for put
ting in the mains, the remainder of
the cost OF the plant would not fall
heavily upon the tax payers of the
city in general. and rentals for water
will probably pay the running expenses
OF the system.

EASILY UNDERSTOOD.

Bishop /. l.. Nicholson, in his
" Notes" TO the Church Times, the Of
fetal paper of the Episcopal diocese
Of Milwaukee, says:
"Someone sends us a notice, clip
ped from Il newspaper, of a dance
and supper, at tt Hall, for the bene-
fit Of the Episcopal Church in - Adj
mission. 2jc:i and asks our opinion
regarding it. Our opinion is easily
written. and, we trust, easily UNDER
stood: that all such contrivances for
supporting the church of God, and
carving on its work, are an abOmi-
nation. We often wonder why the So
calledChristian congregations who re-
sort to such things, together with the
fabrics in which they worship, are not
wiped off the face of the earth by some
wrathful visitation from above. No
wonder, in most of our communities
out this way, all forms of Protestant
Christianity are in such a condition OF
rapid degeracy that they have ceased
to be even u wholesome moral power,
when such contrivances have to be
resOrted to, to raise the clergyman s
salary, and keep the Church afioat.
After reading such notices, offensive
to any religious eye and ear, we can
only hang our heads in shame, and
mediate upon the question whether
this carcature of Christianity Is worth
keeping up at all in any community:
and whether it can possibly do any
good. The Church, in these com
munities, ought to be "the salt of the
earth" But if this salt has evidently
lost all its religious SAVIOR, "where
with shall it be salted?' Far better let
it be cast out and thrown away.

FcnnimOre Times-Record
Barnum truthfully said that people
like to be humbugged. This was again
conclusively proven last week when
some "electric belt" sharps struck
the county and in few days skipped
out with hundreds of dollars of good
Grant county money in their pockets.
1t is n pity that people will be caught
time and again in this manner. The
fellow that struck Fennimore called
himself Diamond Bill - and he was
II Jewel of the first water. or course
he could afford to wear diamonds he
took in 4 10 here, we are ashamed TO
confess and poor fellows who earn
their living by the sweat of their brow
helped pay for them. 1t only takes
II smooth stranger with II glib tongue,
and the people will just fall over each
other to give him their hard-earned
cash. No sign of hard times when Il
fakir strikes the town. This fellow
made "no promises" told "no lies y
but by using the old dodge of giving
back twice the amount Of money paid
by the first purchasers and appealing
to that desire found in so many gull
Bile people of obtaining something for
nothing, soon got rid of some hundred
electric belts MT n dollar apiece, that
could he exposed for sale in our drug
stores for years and not bring twenty
cents apiece. But II Texas knot tied
in them by the fakir, or writing the
word "E.urella (Which means -

CYCLING.

Cyclists should pay particular atten-
tion to the lamps and inspect them
thoroughly before going out on rides
that will necessitate the lighting of
them. Many a bicyclist has ended q
ride by walk in the dark through the
failure to do this. The lamp should be
filled with good oil in the first place.
Many cyclists after short experience
become impressed with their own ability
as rider and therefore are careless. An
example of the self-conscious rider can
be seen on the city streets almost any
time. He or she, generally the former
gazes at their rapidly revolving feet on
the pedals instead of looking well ahead.
By doing this they meet with serious
accidents.
Riders are very often brought to grief
by failure to see that all the nuts on the
wheel are properly adjusted before
spin. When beginning to screw up the
nuts at the end Of the wheels spindles,
the spindle sometimes will turn itself
with the nuts. To remedy this it is sug-
gested that both nuts be held and
screwed in opposite directions. One is
bound to become tight, and when it does,
it holds the spindle while the other can
be easily adjusted. Some serious acci-
dents are averted by close attention to
this.

Yoshi prepared for college at the
American mission in Kioto, where for
nine years she was a student. She has
only been in this country few weeks
and still wears her kimono, or native
dress, making most picturesque figure
as she trips across the campus with her
tall brother. She has already discarded
her wooden shoes for tiny leather boots
of American manufacture.
Yoshi is petite and decidedly pretty.
Her hair is black and glossy, her cheeks
tinged with pink, which shows through
the olive tint, and her eyes Of such fas-
cinatiug brilliancy that it is difficult to
imagine how any unsophisticated un-
dergraduate can resist them. She studies
in her brothers rooms, which are locat-
ed in West Divinity hall, but she boards
in a solid, substantial old New England
mansion on Washington street, which
must seem strange to one accustomed to
the toyhouses Of Japan. Yoshi intends
to study hard and learn just as much as
does her big brother. =

kINDERGARTNERS TO MEET.

Will Gather In Philadelphia to Discuss
the Science of Child Education.
The kindergarten movement is one Of
the most important steps that has re.
Gently been taken in the progress Of ed

ary in Philadelphia, will attract wide

bel from all parts Of the United States
and from abroad, and the latest devel-
opments in the science Of child educa-
tion will be discussed and disseminated.
The kindergarten union has been in
existence since 1892, when, at the close
of the convention of the National Edu-

Stewart Of Philadelphia read paper
before the kindergarten department in
which she proposed the organization Of
