OBITUARY-HARKER SpENsLEY.--

Obll y Ah1-x1A a. mn Eh DPENSLE1 49,
A gloom was cast over this commun-
ity on Friday last by the announce
ment that Mr.. Harker Spensley had
died Of pneumonia at 8 o'clock that
morning, having been i'll but such q
brief time that it was known to only
a few persons outside of his own
family.
Mr.. Spensley was born in York
shire, England, Nov. 18th, 1918. He
received an academic education. and
in early manhood engaged for a
short time in teaching school. For
several years was railroad station
agent at Stockton, England, in the
early operation of railroads in that
country. He emigrated with his
family to America, in the Spring of
lS4S, locating first at Dubuque,
where he remained only about q year,
and thence moved to Shullsburg and
engaged in smelling and mining,
which pursuits proved profitable and
yielded large part Of the comfort
able fortune which he enjoyed At his
death. In the winter of 1867 he
came to Mineral Point and bought
the furnace property north Of the
city, operating and improving the
same until his eldest son attained his
majority and became manager OF
that business. During the last ten
years Mr.. Spensley gave consider
able attention to farming and stock
raising, which, in connection with
his mining operations in Highland,
Mimin, Waldwick, Mineral Point,
and Jenkinsville, made him an active
and important factor in the business
life Of Iowa and La Fayette counties
His individual interests absorbed sc
much OF his time, and having nc
taste for official honors, he never
held public positions other than tina,
of chairman and member of the towr
board, though he was well versed ir
public affairs and took a lively inter
est therein. His natural bent seemeC
toward mining enterprises, and te
his perseverance and energy in this
direction is due much Of the devel
opment of tho mineral resources o.
this section of the State, and to i,
have been many indebted for em.
ployment, without which they would
have been obliged to seek other fields
of labor. In his moral and socia
character he was above reproach
and for years was identified with the
M. +. Church, which society is large
ly indebted to handsome donations
from him for their magnificent cdi
flee in this city, of which all art
justly proud. So prominent and &C.
tive member Of society cannot be
removed from it without the loss
being keenly felt. The bereaved
relatives are not the only mourners,
as attested by the large concourse in
attendance at his funeral on Sunday.

EDITOR The Iowa Co.
Teachers Institute, held at Dodge
vile last week, was one OF unusual
interest and profit. The unprSpi.
tions weather and almost impossible
condition Of the roads rendered the
attendance much smaller than IL
otherwise would have bcen--fifty
teachers being present. Had the
weather been favorable, without
doubt this institute would have been
more largely attended than any pre-
vions one ever held in the county.
We take this as an indication of an
increasing interest in school work.
On Thursday evening last a small
company of invited guests convened
at the house OF Mrs. Catherine PEN
berthy to witness the marriage Of
her daughter, Miss Katie, to Mr..
VIM. Peters. Rev. j. Knibbs con.
ducted the ceremony.
On last Friday evening the officers
and teachers of the NJ. L. s. S. held
their annual reunion in the base
ment Of the Nj. +. Church. There
were present about one hundred per-
sons-principally young people. An
excellent supper was provided by
the lady teachers, after which tho
hours gidcd swiftly by, filed up with

SUPERINTENDENT PRIEsTLEY in
his annual report to the Common
Council shows the expenditures for
our schools the past year to have
been s5,475.s2, and balance of
school money now on hand of So, $685.
7S. There seems to be very general
satisfaction with the management of
our schools the past year, owing, no
doubt, in a large degree to Supt.
Priestley's efforts, supported by the
other members Of the school board.
Mr.. P. says, that to meet increasing
attendance at our schools there is q
necessity for more room, and sug-
gests an enlargement OF school build
ings. The necessity has been felt
for some time, but owing to already
heavy taxes, has not received the at
tention it otherwise would. It is
suggested that definite plan Of i'm
provement might be made out by
the school board, and submitted to
the Council for consideration. III
possible it is desirable by friends OF
the public schools that the needed
improvements be made the coming
summer.
