There are quite . number of them in that

trip will also be quite profitable, as he has
been guaranteed $40 for Zach old wolf he
Kills and 50 for each young one. He will
be paid by cattlemen in that region, whose
herds are raided by the wolves. This spe-
cial price. together with the state and
county bounty, and the price at which he
can sell he elts. will give him about So

THE VICE OF GAMBLING.

i v NE VI
1t is n fact known to nearly every
one, that the state Of Wisconsin pays
portion OF the premiums awarded at
district and county fairs. 1t is stipu-
lated, however, as a condition, that no
liquor selling nor gambling shall be
allowed on the grounds II the fair Is
to receive the allowance from the
state Many inquiries In regard to
what constitutes gambling have been
sent to the attorney general by mana
gers OF fairs. The attorney general
after a careful examination Of author
tiles, has rendered an opinion, ~
which he holds that 1t Is not gamb-
ling where the result OF any game Is
determined by the skill Of the player;
but that 1t Is gambling where the re-
suit OF ~ game is determined purely
by chance. He holds, and rightly
that all wheel and spindle games come
under the gambling head, and denies
that skill enters into the turning OF n
wheel OF fortune or the spinning OF Il
balanced spindle; and 1t Is said that
he ia determined to have the anti
gambling law more strictly enforced.
Gambling Is by no means II new wee,
and while II may be we'll to try to sup
press Il by statute, 1t Is not credltable
10 this are that the gambling spirit
manlfests itself everywhere. Where
gain is sought wholly through chance
whether in money or otherwise IL Is
gambling. 1t is immoral to try to win
nv chance, either In the drawing
room or the grocery. 1t Is not good
citizenship to encourage the gambling
spirit. The thought OF getting some
thing for nothing should meet with no
encouragement from those who desire
that their sons and daughters shall
become upright men aud women, IT.
Ii not crcditablc to our city that gam
bling devices of various kinds arc
permitted within It's borders. A city,
like an individual should build up,
not destroy, its character. The name
Of being n wide.opon town Is not TO be
desired, and Mineral Point cannot af-
ford to secure that name for Itself.
Every game and device that rests
merely In chance should under all cir
cumstances be discouraged Such
games and devices are mainly used to
win hard earned dollars from the
young and unwary. 1t Is well that the
matter of what constitutes gambling
is being agitatcd. The federal gov
eminent prohibits the use OF the mails
for furthorng gambling schemes OF
any kind. 1t does not permit trans
initial through the mails OF any news
paper or other publication which con
tans either the announcements or the
results OF any such gambling schemes.
1t Is we'll that the strong arm Of the
law be directed against the evil of
gambling, but II were better still II an
enlightened public sentiment frownod
upon 1t whenever and wherever it,
mnnfosts itself.
