Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-01-21

one is prepared to say, though there
is no doubt but that the better grades
viii bring fair price, while the
poorer quality will go somewhat low.
Mr.. b. BECKER, lately of the
Dodgeyille Marble Works, has, as
intimated in our last issue, purchased
the Shepard works in this city. He
will carry complete stock of mar
BILE and granite, and is ready to meet
any parties who desire anything in
his line. Mr.. b. comes to us highly
endorsed by those who know him
best.
In the frst issue of the Prison
Press, published by the prisoners
confined at Waupun, under the head
of EIost and Found is the follow
ing: "Found-A man on the upper
tier is said to have found a bag
string in his soup. He was almost
as much surprised as onother who
found a piece of meat in his the
other day" Another item reads,
"While the Prison Press is neither
offensive nor partisan we want it
emphatically understood that we are
not aspirants to the Waupun post
mastership."
PRoF. J. c. FREEMAN, l.. L. ID. Of
the State University, spent Friday
afternoon in our public school, close
ly watching the work of pupils and
teachers. After the work of the
day was done he spoke to the school
for about 90 minutes in a most en-
tertaining manner. He compliment
ed both teachers and pupils on the
excellent work being done. As
Prof. Freeman is a thoroughly first
class teacher, and connected with
the State University, his compliment
tary words concerning Prof. Eden
and his assistants in their methods
of teaching were very hattering,
both to them and the city.
Tom BIsBoP, the keen and ener-
getic newspaper publisher, whom
many of our citizens will remember,
couldn't resist the charms and com
forts (?) of the business after his
selling out at Iowa, but he looms up
again, this time st Volga, Dakota.
AS we might expect the paper has
spice and luster such as follow him
where ere he goes. He commenced
with the new year, and in the teeond
number we find this: "There's moth
ing too good for the TRIBUNE. One
of our merchants gave our devil
buckwheat one day this week with
which to replenish the paste-pot.
Joe Daum, of the Oakwood House,
got his eyes on the package, Bow
ever, and it disappeared"
FRoMthe Courier-Journai of Louis
vile, Ky, Jan. 10, we learn that
Rev. Louis p. Tschiffeley, rector of
Grace Episcopal church in that city,
had an apoplectic shock last Monday
night at o'clock aud died in less
than two hours. In 1862 Mr.. I was
rector of Christ church in this city
He was then a young man of fine
promise. He went from here to Ap-
pleton; from there to Green Bay,
where he remained until 1868, when
he went south, where he has held
prominent positions ever since
From the amount OF work he has
done there is no doubt that his is
another death from over work. Mr.
7. was born in Va, but spent much
of his early life in Washington
and Baltimore When a young man
he went to New Albany, Ind, to
study law, but he gave up these
studies and came to Nashotah, Wis,
when he prepared for the ministry.
He was married in 1862. His wild
ow and six Of their nine children
survive him.
AT a railroad construction camp
on the new line of the Chicago,
Burlington e Northern railroad,
near Glen Haven, Grant county, on
the night of the 14th inst, there
was an attempt at assassination
