r PELsoNAL.-Major G. #. LEGArE
is in town on short furloagh from his
duties in the Office of Secretary of State
at Madison, His health is not very good.
Hon. S S, WILKINSON, of Sauk County,
Z. S. Internal Revenue Assessor for the
Sd Congressional District, and a prominent
candidate for the Republican nomination
for Member of Congress, passed through
our city last Friday, and favored us with n
call, Mr.. W. has probably as many friends
as any of the aspifants, and his chances
of success are 10y no means the worst
Should he succeed, the TRIBUNE will with
pride and pleasure raise his name, and de.
vote her best energies TO secure his elec-
tion by handsome majority. The people
of Iowa County, we feel confident, would
sustain such course, and give Mr. w. a
hearty support a5 the polls, and their con-
fidence after election.
CAPT, SAMUEL JONES, brother oE Hon. u.
W. JONES Of this city, and good typo, is
in town visiting with his friends, after an
absence OF two years He says "that story
about his death was false, and probably got
up by sons malicious enemy to njure his
prospects in life" Quite likely.

nal Of terrible shooting affair at Potosi
on the 2sth ult RoBIssoss circus was in
town OH that day, and the driver Of the
band wagon had team of ten span Of
horses hitched up, with which he was prac-
ticing. A young man named Brent, who
has latel, returned from the Rocky Noun
tains, and said to be quite a desperate,
with a few Others who were under the in
huence Of liquor, ieered at the drivers ef.
forts to manage the team and so angered
him by words and actions that he cufed
BRIsr quite severely. The latter procured
revolver, and while the driver was at
supper in company with another Of the
circus men who had also had trouble with
BRENT, he fBRrsr came in and fred four
shots from revolver, two of which took
effect one entering the back part Of the
head Of one Of the men, and the second
entering to, breast and passing through
the lung OF the other. Both men are in a
very dangerous condition, and there is no
chance for the recovery Of the one wound.

The monthly meeting of the association
was held in the courtroom Wednesday after
noon, the president aud secretary occupying
their respective seats. The proceedings OF
the last meeting were read and approved. A
report was made By the printing committee
in reference to the expediency Of printing, in
pamphlet form. the constitution of the associa-
ton. with the names Gifts members; the con-
sideration Of which was postponed to the next
meeting. The usual routine business was
transacted, and some unimportant resolutions
submitted. Major French read very inter-
esting communication from the Hon. John S.
Gallaher, which was elected by the Majors
paper in relation to the Old Capitol, read at
the previous meeting Mr. Gallaher's narra-
tive riveted the attention Of the members and
gave rise to an animated debate, in which
quite a number participated. The accuracy
of the several points questioned was, after
discussion, yielded, and Mr. Gs historical
sketch Of that important period admitted to
be one Of the most meritorious papers ever
read before the association. The association
adjourned to the first Wednesday in next
mouth Washington Star.
