The Mineral Point Free Public Lib
rary has now been in existence over
four years, and its success is assured i,
whether or not it is given public aid,
but It's usefulness should be enlarged
The library now numbers over
2400 volumes, and of these more than
one third are books of reference.
These have been purchased by the
contributions of public spirited citi-
zens, or with finds variously
obtained by the women of the Read
ing Club, who have SO heroically
labored in its behalf and are entitled
to praise and communication accord
ingly. Our citizens should now be
awakening to realizing sense of the
great need Of a public library, and to
a feeling Of humiliation consequent
upon the public neglect our library
has received from the city. Over 700
cards have been issued to the reading
public. These cards represent the
number of persons drawing books,
and the number should speak for
itself as to the appreciation in which
the library is held by our citizens.
But, as before stated, the usefulness
of the library could be greatly in
creased if its income were more nearly
commensurate with its needs, if its
annual subscription list could be
appreciably increased, and this can
only be done by the voluntary gener-
osity of our citizens, the readers Of
the books Of the library, since our
city witholds its support.

The sinister threat was made some
time ago, in Spanish quarters, that
the scene of the first naval battle
would be surprise to the world.
Thanks to the great skill and courage
of Commodore Dewey and his brave
men, who annihilated the Spanish
feet in the harbor Of Manila, right
under the guns Of the Spanish forts.
The scene and the result Of the battle,
too-~was certainly surprise to
Spain.

prof + Turner, for the purpose OF
Introducing himself to the public, will
Give a test of his wonderful power to
every caller desiring sitting. 1t has
been very tritely said that public
oninion is the court of last resort, be-
fore which all men must stand on
final appeal. Bearing in mind this
eniorammatic expression, Prof. Turner
is 70 be congratulated. for public
opinion has agreed upon the verdict
that the marvellous powers possessed
by him are possessed by no other liv-
ing person Public opinion is vigi-
liant and exacting tribunal, and It's
inexorable DEGREES cannot be ignored.
Prof. Turner will not consent to
have his ability measured by any
other standard than his own, for
there is always partially developed
mediums and cheap pretenders found
in every city, bringing disrepute upon
the profession. 1t goes without say
ing that Prof. Turner is the peer OF
all mediums.
1t is a matter of history, from the
remotest age to the present time that
there are a few who possess occult
power sufficiently to enable them to
accurately reveal the past and give a
correct forecast Of the future. To
Prof. Turner, nature has been most
kind bequeathing to him that rare

The fashion Of greeting person with
the left hand rather than the right, SO
much in vogue among the ultra just
now. sometimes leads to curious COM
plications. A country cousin, for in
stance-or, for that matter, n city one
who doesn't pretend TO keep up with
the very newest--is apt to find herself
dumbstruck at sight OF anything but
the right hand held out TO her. Such q
one has been known TO take umbrage at
II, declaring that she didn't propose to
accept left-handed salutations from
anyone; but, in any event, II is sure to
cause inconvenience. The high hand
shake itself, which until completely ac-
climated was the origin OF so much en-
barrassment, must rank second to tho
left bandshake. The modification IL no
less poignant because II Is momentary.
In measure, too, she who employs the
new greeting comes In for n share of
the modification, which was rarely tho
case with the pump handle shake when
IL was novelty. Apropos OF hand
shaking habits, IL Is worth while to
quote the following, which, however ac-
curate in the particular instance, will
