democratic procession, was affected
seriously. When he attempted to
take drink from the town pump on
Main street he tottered and went
into the trough, full length. He
barely missed drowning before res
cuers came. The barrels got back
safely, but empty.
THE Garment Gutter agents, To-
Gated opposite Spratler's, are desir-
Gus of taking in exchange for their
new system, all old charts, models
or systems of dress cutting now in
use in the city.
To THE home buyer who MALE d
us the Chicago Trade Bulletin to
prove that -four had gone up in
price and wheat down we extend
thanks, and wish to say that we
never doubted the fact, as we al
ways regarded him as thoroughly
reliable authority. But, neverthe-
less, isn't it strange freak?N

The grand vocal concert to be

ersl Point. A hundred singers, in

THE county fair, held last week,
was blessed with perfect weather,
and it was a complete success, prob
ably nigh onto the best within his
tory of the society. The number
of entries was large, the attendance
numerous, competition among exhi-
bitors in all departments strong,
and races hotly contested. What
more is necessary to make good

the society.
MARRIED, in this city on the
morning of the 18th inst, at the
Irish Catholic church, by Rev. Jas.
O'Keefe, Miss Gussie McIlhon, of
this city, and Mr.. VIM. Hartert, for
merly of Mineral Point, but now Of
Fort Worth, Texas. On the same
day the happy couple left for Fort
Worth, where the groom holds
good railroad position. Both are
well known and much respected in
this community, where the desire
for their prosperity is universal.
To FAIL to attend the concert by
the Harmony Quartette tonight

feast. This quartette appeared in
our city last spring, when it won
such praise and admiration that it
seems unnecessary for the TRIBUNE
to particularize in the least. There
is no superior quartette now before
the public. 1t consists of Mr.. n. B.
Yuille, tenor; Olive Monahan, So
prano; Retta Monahan, contralto;
5. I. Osborne, basso.
In speaking of the trotting race

Hon. Joel Whitman, is wonderful
mare, it being her first race, and
handled and driven by an inexperi-
enced party. Osborne, owned by
J. r. Osborne, Of this city, even if
he had to remain in second place,
