Cutting Out the Quacks.

Lancaster Herald: 1t is pleasing to
note so many of the better class of
newspapers, both country and city,
gradually eliminating "quack" adver-
Using from their columns. This is
partly due to the better patronage the
papers are enjoying from a public that
is learning more and more the value of
newspaper advertising and also the de-
sire of the publishers to run their bust :
ness in clean way. Then, again the
reading public today consciously or un-
consciously, places in it's proper class
the paper which prints offensive and
misleading advertisements, and this is
influencing publications which desire to
lead; not lag.

Carried unanimously.
A proposed ordinance draft for the

duced:

An ordinance providing for a bond is
sue to cover cost of reconstruction of

Whereas the city of Mineral Point,

less than the sum of $65, 900 including
all bonded Indebtedness, and whereas
the water works system Of this city
needs to be reconstructed, and whereas
it is necessary to issue bonds to cover
the cost of such reconstruction.
Now therefore the common council
of the city of Mineral Point do ordain
as follows:
l. Section One. The city of Mineral
Point shall issue $4,000 of negotiable

thereof and supplementary thereto.

Corn Frosted on Bluffs.

Baraboo Democrat: The recent frost
played some strange capers. In some
places where large corn fields lie in low
bottom lands the frost did not injure the
crop. Along the West Sank road near

corn that are nearly ruined by the frost.
The bluffs have usually been almost
