FROM THE TRIBUNE FILES


10 the Editor;-It seems proper that
word should be said on the subject of
cholera at the present time, for it APP
pears that the scourge is gradually
stealing upon us, and unless some
heathful and sanitary measures are
adopted by our inhabitants, mayhap the
hrst intimation of its presence among
us will be sudden outbreak of the
epidemic in all its pestilential fatality.
We fail to discover that any action has
been taken on this matter by the board
OF health; nor do we know that there is
such a body in this town; and it seems
to concern the citizens but little wheth-
er there is or not, for they allow all
sorts of filth and carrion to lay about
IN such abundance in various parts of
the town that a stranger would natu-
rally conclude from the appearance of
our streets that our town had once
been the grand yard of some extensive
slaughter-house. We deem it necessary
that all offensive matter be removed
without delay.

While in quest of wolves last Friday
morning in the woods six or seven miles
southwest Of here, Mr.. Chas. Thrasher
Of this city met with a painful accident
by the accidental discharge Of his rifle.
He was proceeding through the UNDER
brush carrying the weapon behind him
in some manner when the same dis
charged instantly sending the bullet up
his back. The ball entered somewhere
near the waist line and came out at
the shoulder blade, thus its course must
have been almost parallel with the body
which was in a somewhat crouched
position.
Mr.. Thrasher was brought at once to
his home in this city and medical aid
summoned. He is doing well at this

from a fatal result.

The automobile season is at hand,
and this year Mineral Point will have
more than heretofore. 1t is hoped that
men at the helm will be studiously care
ful. The frightening of horses with a
possible result of runaway is not the
only danger to avoid. Turning street
corners at a rapid pace endangers the
life of pedestrians, especially frolieiing
children who do not confine themselves
strictly to the sidewalk, and are there
fore liable to be caught unawares and
bewildered. In such instances results
are most likely to be very serious. Par
ents have reason to feel apprehensive
and uneasy for the safety of their chill
dren should automobile drivers indulge
in recklessness.

Communications Welcome.

We hold the view that all too few
citizens express themselves in the open
on matters Of public interest and inn
portance. The opinion of every man or
woman is of value and its dissemination
tends to stimulate thought, inspire dis
cussion and enlighten judgment. We
are always glad to receive letters from
our readers and we are just as glad to
publish them.
In this quest the humblest can be OF
as much service as the greatest, the
private citizen of as much importanc,
as the public writer or speaker.
Communications should be brief anc
to the point. They will be more widely
read and more effective in consequence
