Meat is mounting upward at an as
founding rate. The American people
are notorious fiends for meat, and in
consequence the demand is so great
that the logical conclusion is, the peo-
pie are largely to blame for the high
prices. A let up in the consumption of
meat would not prove detriment to
health, and yet have tendency to les
sen the price.
One thing that keeps young men
down is their fear of work They aim to
find genteel occupations, SO they can
dress well, not soil their clothes, and
handle things with the tips of their fin
gers. They do not like to get their
shoulders under the wheel, and they
prefer to giving orders, or figure as
masters, and let someone else do the
drudgery. There is no doubt that indol- |
ence and laziness are the chief obsta-
cles to success.
Platteville's city council has decreed
that no toy pistols, explosive caps or
torpedoes be sold in that city, and that
the sale of fireworks and all explosives
after the hour of six O'Clock p. m. be
prohibited. The recklessness displayed
in Mineral Point during the last few
evenings leads to the opinion that the
putting on of brake here, or in other |
words the enforcement of such city or
dinances as treat on this subject, would
be satisfactory to large majority of
our citizens.
Crop prospects are favorable. The
hay crop will be good Oats fields are
looking fine, as are all grain crops. The
corn crop is the only one that is not full
of promise and there is time for that
yet. Many fields failed to come up from
the first planting, either because OF
poor seed or failure to terminate be-
cause of the cold and wet, and replant-
ing became necessary. 1t will take a
week or ten days for the farmers to
know just where they are at with re-
spect to this crop.
Warren has sensation. 1t appears
that two young men of that place call
ed with rig, at the hour of midnight,
for country girl of about Is years of
age. who was visiting with an aunt re-
siding in Warren, and took her out rid
ing. Some hours later she was left at
hotel in a drugged condition. If such are
the facts, the young men are guilty of
a hideous crime and due punishment
should be their se. But what can be
said in behalf of the poor thoughtless
girl? Ninety-nine out of hundred
would know better that to be thus
trapped.
