Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-10-07

TINS has been a pretty fair stock
week. There have been ten fear
loads shipped out of here within
the past four days.
TINS morning Democrats meet
Republicans on our street with a
smile and the remark that colin laid
you out last night eh?"
lT's a pleasing sight to pass
through the several hard ware stores
of this city and view the large stocks
of stoves and the wonderful improve
ments of the age.
YOU'VE McMullen, who is learn
ing the tinsmith business with
Martin 81 Toay, shot a pheasant on
the roof of the warehouse back of
said firms store, one day this week
NEVER in the history of south
western Wisconsin have tgTnips
commanded such a price as this
year. Eighty-five cents a bushel
think of it. You'll go without, Ell?
Mrs. J. NJ. DALE died at her home
in Dodgeville last Friday, after a
long siege of suffering from cancer.
The husband and family have many
friends in this city who join with
the TRIBUNE in extending condol-
ance.
SATURDAY evening our streets
were alive with music. The band
and drum corps were both out. 1t
was delightful night and the
crowds on the thoroughfares i'm
mense.
THE terms upon which the city
club would accept the challenge of
the Diamond Grove ball players,
have been accepted; That it shall
take place on the fair grounds in
Mineral Point on Tuesday, Oct. u,
and that it be for a purse of $50 a
side.
HENRY REESE, farmer living
north of Dodgeville village, has
sued the town of Dodgeville for
$1,000, for damages arising from a
defective road, which he claims
caused his team to run away on the
18th ult., resulting in injury to him
self and property
THE money is up-sl00 side
and the day set is Saturday, Oct. %,
for a race between the young trot-
ting horses Garfield and Victory,
mile heats, three in FIVE, at the fair
ground in this city. The horses are
generally regarded as pretty evenly
matched, and quite struggle is an
ticipated.
THE attention of the public is in
vited to the fact that Mr.. John
Wicker has assumed the manage
ment of the Wearne blacksmith
shop on the east side of the city hall
square. All old customers and as
many new ones as may SO choose
are cordially invited to call. Work
done in a satisfactory manner, at
reasonable prices.
THE minstrel troupe of Beach
& Bowers which showed here Tues
day evening was well patronized.
The street parade of the band was
attractive and music good. The
entertainment smacked with mirth
Several snatches of vocal and instru-
mental music were very fine and the
variety of wit elaborate. The ma
ioriety of the audience was well
pleased, and as majority rules let
that suffice as the verdict
THIS office was favored with a
pleasant call the other day from W.
II. Champion, of Usage, Iowa. He
came to accompany home his wife,
who has been visiting with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Phil
lips, for a month or more. Mr.
Champion reports enjoying good
health and reasonable prosperity in
the Hawkeye state, which we are
glad to hear.
II. MARKS, of Dodgeyille, brought
home with him from the Yellow
stone park a large collection of pet
refactions, formations from the
various geysers, curious stones, etc,
