The following is CLEANED from the

THE following is CLEANED from the
Dodgeville Star. About $4,000
pounds of mineral were brought in
to the furnace of Messrs. Bennett,
Hoskins & Co., of Dodgeville, from
the mines of Messrs. Fernan i
Kraus, which are situated about
eight miles northeast of Dodgeville.
This is the largest lot of mineral
delivered in one day in Dodgeville
since 1870. The mineral is of a
very pure quality, and although the
price is low, will yield the owners a
large sum of money.

SCARLET fever has been prevalent
at Dodgeyille for some weeks. Only
one death is reported thus far, that
of ten year old daughter of Mrs.
Spang. Little Cora, the beloved and
only child of Mr., and Mrs. J. II.
Cartwright, formerly of this city, has
been among those most severely af-
flicted, her life hanging by the ten
derest thread for over two weeks,
while once or twice her death was
reported. The host of friends in
this city of the afflicted parents are
waiting with visible eagerness to
learn of little Cora's permanent re-
coyery, and unalloyed sorrow for
them in their great trial is universal
here.

A FARMER of our acquaintance
has lately learned from experience
that in giving clerk an order for
coffee and cheese at the same time,
one should be careful in stating
which Of the two articles was want
ed strong. In this instance the far.
mer wanted the strongest coffee to
be had, but he didn't say coffee, and
the clerk formed the idea that the
strongest cheese to be had was
wanted. When the farmer reached
home and discovered the mistake,
the cheese was flung out the back
door.

GEORGE K. WARD, at one time a
student in the law school of the state
university, and later one of the edit
ors of the Dodgeville San, is gaining
an uneuviable reputation. The
Wonewoc Reporter says he engaged
a rig of Geo Willard to go to Viola,
but the latter heard nothing from
Ward, who had left the rig and gone
on to Black River Falls, whence ne
wrote Willard to send his bill. The
bill was sent but not paid. The
same paper says that Ward was
arrested at Ableman for a similar
occurrence there, and also details
some other exploits of his.

Resolutions of Gratitude.

The following resolutions were adopted
yesterday by the scandinavian Augustana
synod in session at Rockford Prof. J
Lindahl, of Augustana seminary here. re-
turned to this city last evening and
brought copy to this office at the re :
quest of the synod:
WHEREAS, The Hon. p. L. Gable. of
Rock Island, H., has donated the princely
sum of $25, 900 to the building fund of
Augustana College and Seminary of Rock
Island, ILL.,, be it
Resol0ed. That the Scandinavian Evans
gelical Lutheran Angustana Synod of
North America, now in convention as
sembled at Rockford, H., hereby tenders
its most sincere and heartfelt thanks to
Hon p. L. Gable, for his muniticent gift
so kindly and delicately bestowed, and
calls down upon him the blessing of our
Great Master, to whose glory the new
building is to be consecrated:
ResoIoed, That this resolution be tele>
graphed to Hon. p L. Gable, and til at
copies of it be sent to the Chicago Times,
Chicago Tribune, Minneapolis Tribune,
Topeka DAILY Capital, and the daily pa
pers of Rock Island, Moline and Daven-
port, and all the Swedish papers of this
country, and the principal ones of Stock
holm, Sweden.
ERLAND CARLSON, President,
S. p. A. LINDAHI., Secretary.
Readers of the ARGUS will remember
the adoption of similar resolutions by the
college faculty here, shortly after the mu>
nifcent gift was rendered.

Exactly.

An exchange presents the question sci
entlfically "A town is very much like
an individual. To be fiourishing it must
have energy and enterprise. The people
in town should remember that the indi>
vidual prosperity depends to large extent
upon the character of the place in which
their business is located. Every public
measure should be literally supported by
all. especially the business men. At the
present day there is as much competition
between towns as there is among persons
and business enterprises. A man seeking
location will invariably select town
that is up to the times, and is eagerly in
favor of every modern improvement. A
town in these modern times can't afford
to be peopled with old fogies or antidilu-
Wan fossils who are continually kicking
at every enterprise. To make flourish
ing town you must believe in its future
and work for it, encouraging every i'm
provement. Make special effort to ex>
hibit some evidence of improvement in
your own work and character. Help
every worthy man, help every enterprise
and encourage every good man to locate
in your town" The above contains good
common sense and part of it aptly coin
cides with the situation in Rock Island,
where anything but an enterprising spirit
is manifested by some people.

Imposing Dedication.

The new Masonic hall of Doric Lodge,
in Moline, was formally dedicated with
imposing services last evening The ad-
dress of the evening. Masonry and its
Obje Is, was delivered by M. NJ. Corbett
Esq of this city. Mr.. Corbett COM
menced his remarks with the tradition
that Masonry originated in the Garden of
Eden, where Adam and Eve were mem
bers, and the Great Jehovah was
the worshipful master. The founda-
ton of Masonry. Mr.. Corbett said
was the belief in an ever living God, and
charity was the first corner stone. The
society consisted of a universal brother
hood, where all creeds, classes and condi-
lions of men were brought into the fold
as equal The moral teachings of the
order were touched upon briefly, and in
befitting language. The address was a
mastery effort, full of beautiful exam
pies and illustrations of the merits of the
order.

Tho Picnic Season.


The picnic season is upon US, and every
day some society or denomination or pri>
vate party is seen going in the direction
of one of our numerous resorts, with bas-
kets, to make day of it.
Yesterday the Turn Verin of Moline
had a delightful day of it with their
friends on Sylvan Island
Today the Lutheran church is having
an enjoyable time at Dexter's pasture.
Tomorrow the German English school
will go to the grove back of Wagner's
brewery and spend the day in the rustic
regions thereabout.
The German Lutheran school children
went to Dexter's pasture this morning,
where the annual picnic of the society is
being held today. The schOlSs-two
hundred in number-headed by F. Mil>
Ter, E. Selle. teachers in the school, and
Rev. Mennicke. pastor of the church, and

SUBURBAN SIFTINGS.

RURAR, June "a
Frank Wilson was badly bitten by a
dog the other day.
Enoch Wilson's children are having the
mumps.
Farmers are taking advantage of the
few warm days we are having, and are
blowing their corn.
Mrs. Sadie Fowler, of Des Moines,
Iowa, is visiting friends here.
We think the old saying "a dry Easter
for wet summer" has come true this
time
Mrs. Cyrus Valentine and Miss Craw-
ford have gone To Iowa.
James Valentine and wife spent Sun
day at L. r. Wilson'S
We were made TO say in our last week s
letter that Mr.. and Mrs Lewis Wilson
were visiting their daughter. Miss Carl
SON. 1t should have read Mrs Carlson.
They returned home on Saturday last.
We don't think that Mr.. Wilson thinks
Dakota better place than Illinois. He
says they do not farm as extensively as
they do here, and there is more town than
country.

Nebraska Crops.

Alfred Eckles, of Central City, Neb.,
formerly and for years one of the most
successful farmers of Rock Island county,

Eckels reports crop prospects in Nebras~
ka as excellent. He has 100 acres in
corn, which he says is knee high and
looking splendidly. Mr.. Eckles says he
has ninety acres in wheat and oats, which
promises an enormous yield, the
crop at present being in full head, Mr..
Eckels brings glowing accounts of Ne
braska farming

Lookout

The annual period of pandemonium Is
approaching, and the small boy, provided
with the risky and uncertain fire cracker,
will distribute danger about the land in
the most reckless and promiscuous mans
ner. Young America considers it time
honored privilege, and though there are
ordinances against" this dangerous GUS
tom, they are not enforced, and the sweet
will of the small boy is unchecked and
runs riotously rampant. When parents
