q more pleasant winter than the

generally better than average, and

A Simple Disinfectant.

One pound of green copperas, costing
seven cents, dissolved in one gallon ofwat-
er, and poured down a wat er-closet, will
Officially concentrate and destroy the
roulest smells. On board ships and steam
boats, about hotels and other public pla-
ces, there is nothing so nice to purify the
air. Simple green copperas, dissolved In
anything under the bed, will render a
hospital, or other places for the sick, free
from unpleasant smells. In slaughter
houses, sinks, and wherever there are Of
fensive gasses, dissolve copperas and
sprinkle it about, and in few days the
smell will pass away. If a cat, rat, or a
mouse dies about the house, and sends
forth an offensive gas, place some dis
solved coppe:as in an open. vessel near the
place where the nuisance is, and it will pu
rify the atmosphere. Then. keep all
clean.

A Lucky Accident.

HELENA, May 2Sth, 1874.
At three o'clock yesterday our usually
quiet little burg was startled by the cry o.
a railway smash up, and upon hasten
ing to the scene of destruction it was found
that the engine and five freight cars had
been thrown off the tack, and all brok-
en- to pieces. The accident was cause d
by the extreme heat causing the iron
rails to expand and become crowded to-
gether so tight that it threw them out
of line.
The Engineer, William Newell, saw the
defect in the road, but too late to stop
the train. So giving the signal of danger
he jumped off. The fireman was endeavor-
ing to follow his example, but was too late
for the cars were doubling up like the
leaves of a book, and when the confusion
of the moment was over he found himself
between the tender and a car loaded with
wheat, about one foot apart. All the
damages he had sustained was a slight
bruise of one. beg The conductor of the
train Immediately repaired to the nearest
telegraph office to send for help to clear up
the track, and in about s hours after, the
trains were running regularly. 1t was a
serious loss of property, but luckily no
lives were lost, or any serious hurt to any
one. I believe this is the twentieth time
this same engineer has been similarly
thrown from the track and never been
hurt. Yours,

Leander L. Benedict, son of Nathan Bene-
dict, of Bashford, La Fayette county, and
a student of the Platteville, Normal School,
aged q years, was drowned in Virgins
mill pond, near Platteville, on Wednesday

few minutes and had been diving and
splashing around when he was noticed to
sink. An effort was made to save him
but there being no expert swimmers in
the crowd, he sank to rise no more. He
made no cutlery whatever and it is sup

n~We learn from the Tribune that at
least thousand persons were present at
the ceremonies of Decoration Day in Miner
al Point, last Saturday and general interest
was manifested in the exercises. Col. John
G. Clark, Of Lancaster, delivered an elo
quent and patriotic address. After the GER
emonies at the cemeteries were over, the
procession reformed and proceeded to the
City Hall for the transaction of business.
Among other things, the subject of erect
ing soldiers monument was preached
and discussed with much interest for an
hour. The prevailing sentiment seemed
to favor county monument at Dodgeville,
to be secured by a donation from the
County Board and private subscriptions.
If this be found impracticable it vas ar
gued that monument to soldiers of South
ern Iowa and Northern La Fayette Coun.
ties might be erected at Mineral Point by
subscription alone. To ascertain the feel
ings of the people on this subject
Messrs. James Toay and Alex. Wilson
were appointed as a Committee on Monu-
ment.
DR.. Vivian was elected President of the
Association for the ensuing year, with in
struetions to select one Vice-President
from each town in the county.
A resolution was adopted thanking Col.
Clark for his address, and asking him to
furnish copy thereof to each of the pa
pers in the county for publication. Col.
Clark stated that owing to his health be-
ing such as to make it o painful task for
him to do much writing he might not be
able to comply with the request, but
he would endsavor to do SO.
wDr. II. j. jenkins, of this place,
died last Saturday evening, after an illness
of about six weeks. He was an able ply.
sician and an excellent citizen, and his loss
is deeply felt in this community. He was
buried in Dodgeville cemetery, on Sunday
evening. with the honors of ODD Fellow
ship, about forty members of the order
from Mineral Point, besides the Dodgeville
Lodge, being present and participating in
the ceremonies. Funeral services were
held in the NJ. E. Church by Rev. Knibbs,
and almost the entire community turned
out in token of their regard for him
who had been called from among us.
