Keep This In Mind.

The Dial-Enterprise has always
preached '.patronize home industry
and home merchants" and thoroughly
believes that the only way to build
up town is to practice this method
of doing business wherever you can.
You often hear it said that YOU can
not purchase such and such a thing
in your own city. Why is this? 1t
is simply that you do not give the
home merchant your trade in that
particular line and he cannot afford
to carry it. Give him all your trade
and he will give you the best results.
Who is your home merchant and why
should you patronize him? He is the
man who helps pay for the streets
YOU walk; for the school in which
your children or perhaps you were
educated; he helps you keep up the
church in which YOU worship; he is
the man who builds home and en-
hances the value of your own prop
erty; every subscription paper that is
passed has his name upon it; he IS
the only man who cannot afford to
swindle you; self interest, if nothing
else. would prevent this; he bears his
share Of good government and stays
with you in sunshine and in darkness.
Aud he writes you through the col
umns Of the home paper to help sus-
tain him in his endeavor to sustain
the town in which you do your own
trading. He bears the brunt Of local

efforts. He pays money for public
improvements. He stands for the in
terests of the town. What would YOU
do without him? He makes money
advance on stock Of goods and as
sumes all the risk Of disposing of it
to his neighbors. Some of these
neighbors are mean enough to turn
their patronage away from the home
merchant on the theory that they
save money by patronizing supply
house. There is never more false
idea advanced. The man who buys
from supply hodse takes from the
community the money that should be
there. 1t is a short-sighted policy.
decidedly. Our relation to our
neighbors is very close and what ben
etits him benefits us, even if we are
unconscious of the fact that the
neighbor is being benefited Boscobel

case answering Mr.. Howe's arguments
and diseased the principal points in
the evidence
Mr.. Lowry followed. For ability
to brush away the mystifications and
technicalities Of law and present in
simple language its real import and
meaning to jury, in the power of
nice discrimination and the selection
OF the salient and vital points from
mass of evidence. and in the talent of
being able to arrange and present
those facts in the most logical and
forceful manner. Ed Lowry is with
out superior if not without peer
in the Grant county bar. In the pres
ent instance his argument was fully
up to its usual excellence and when
he was through there was no doubt
in the minds of his hearers what the
verdict must be.
Mr.. Bushnell made the closing argu-
ment Friday morning. He has made
many able pleas and this was pro-
nounced by some the the best they
ever heard him deliver. 1t was care
fully prepared and delivered with that
positiveness and force that have
placed the name of Bushnell in the
very front rank of criminal lawyers in
the state of Wisconsin. He spoke for
nearly two hours and closed with a
brilliant peroration on the sacredness
of reputation and the priceless value
of good name. And to those senti-
ments the defendant in the case ment-
ally responded with a most hearty
"amenn
Judge Clementson then gave his
charge to the jury as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY:-The constitu-
ton of this state provides that in all crimi-
nal prosecutions for libel the Jury shall be
the judges OF the law and the fact
In a law book of high authority
on Criminal Law Is said the law in this
country has uniformly been, even in those
states where there is no statutory guaran-
Tee that the jury have right to give their
verdict on the whole issue and decide the
question whether the matter charged be
ubellous or not, as well as the Qnestien of
tact as to the publication, and the truth of
the innuendoeS."
Such being the law and you being the sole
judges of what your verdict should be in
this case, have nothing to say to you more
than this, that If you are convinced by the
evidence beyond reasonable doubt of the
defendants guilt, your verdict should be
guilty.
If you have a reasonable doubt of the de-
PENDANTS guilt, your verdict must be not
guilty.
The jury returned a verdict of mot
guilty. at y o'clock noon, and the
trial was over.
This jury was one of the best and
most representative ever empaneled
in the county. 1t was composed of
men from various parts of the coun-
ty. There were in it farmers and
those who live in town, Republicans
and Democrats, Protestants and Cath
olics, Herald readers. Teller readers,
readers of both papers and readers of
neither paper. The verdict is all the
more decisive and satisfactory coming
from such a Jury.

County Prayer Meeting other Guilty
Parties.

Parties.
Sheriff Hymer brought to Lancaster
today, Wednesday noon, from Soldiers
Grove, Crawford county. man who
has confessed to being partner in
one of the most brutal aud inexcusa-
BILE murders that ever disgraced the
name of Grant county. His name is
Pierce Noggles and his home is near
Soldiers Grove. Crawford county.
His story is that about six years ago
he and two friends met in Platteville
one Saturday afternoon and had So
cial time drinking together. Later
they started to 90 to the residence of
an acquaintance east Of the city. The
three were in single buggy. When
about mile from Platteville they saw
Jew peddler coming down the road
and one of the party said Pm going
to have that fellows money! The
peddler was stopped and killed. his
body robbed of money and vuluables
and then cut into pieces, put into his
valises and buried under beer vat
near the Platteville brewery.
The names of the other men con-
cerned in the murder and the details
of the crime are for obvious reasons
withheld
Goggles CLAIMS that he took no part
in the killing except to see and to
know that it was done and to keep
still acout it. There is reason to be-
lieve he is telling the thrth. He is a
man about 80 years of age, American
by birth and married. He moved to
Crawford county about two years ago.
He is man of medium size, of low
intelligence, no education aud with
weak rather than criminal look and
manner.
The manner of his confession is al
most as remarkable as the crime.
Mrs. Minnie Richmond, a colored
evangelist. whose home is in he"Col
ored settlement" near Lancaster. has
been holding meeting In and about
Soldiers Grove and it was at one of
her meetings. prayer meeting at a
private house-that the mans troub
led soul compelled him to confess his
awful guilty knowledge. Harrassed
by conscience that made life a veri-
table hell, ever confronted by the fig
ure of dead man lying by the road
side in pool of blood, haunted by a
cry for mercy, he could no longer keep
the secret. The murder would out.
The colored woman's exhortation
aroused his fear of the judgment and
awakened in his sluggish mind the de-
termination to do right in the sight
of both God and men.
He expresses willingness to go to
the scene Of the tragedy and reveal
the location of the poor peddlar body.
1t is to be hoped that the whole mys-
terry will be speedily solved and the
guilty parties brought to justsce.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHPLACE.
A Rude Log Cabin I'm the WiIds OF
Kentucky.


kentucky.
Abraham Lincoln, our great war presi-
dent, was born in Larue county, KEN
lucky, in a rude little log cabin. This
cabin has recently been restored, and,
so far as possible, made exactly as it
was ss years ago, when a little baby
boy was born to Thomas and Nancy
Lincoln, or "LinkhOrn,' as the name
was then spelled-humble settlers
who had moved to the neighbOrhood
from Washington county four years be-
fore.
The few living people who remember
Thomas Lincoln, the father, say that he
was a rather improvident man, not
working long at any one thing. He was
a hard worker, but was poor manager;
and the little family was often without
more than the simplest necessaTies Of
life Thomas Lincoln cleared a few
acres around his cabin, and raised
small crop of corn and grain. Then he
became a carpenter and tinker work
ing at such odd jobs as he could find
among the pioneer neighbors. He was
away at work at the time Abraham was
born.
The neighbors heard that Mrs. Lin
coin was in the cabin all alone with the
little baby, and had little to eat except
corn and potatoes. They at once Wis
tied the Lincoln cabin, taking such deli
caces as their houses afforded. The ia
ther returned in a few days; and the
baby was named Abraham Lincoln,
after his grandfather, who had been
killed by the Indians when Thomas Lin
coin was little boy George H. YenO-
wine, in st. Nicholas.
