tifty-three heaps Of unrecognized re.

sailors aud deck porters, who crushed
down the weaker people in their

is the approved method III such cases.
but turning it oil and then ON again,
after which very brilliant performance
they slept the sleep of the Just, all
unconscious of the deadly fluid which
was steadily poisoning the air which
they were drinking into their lungs.
About 10 o'clock in the morning one
of them awoke and feeling that
something was wrong had Just
strength enough to utter one cry
then sank unconscious upon the
bed. That cry, however, saved their
lives, for it brought one Of the servants
to the door, who smelling the gas and
guessing at once what the trouble was,
entered the room, and throwing up
the windows dragged the fainting
inmates into the pure air where they
soon revived. They were very sick,
however, having breathed so much ot
the gas that it seemed to have permeat-
ed their whole systems. II was a very
narrow escape and through the dis
agreeable experience the gentlemen
have doubtless learned lesson which
they will never forget.

Victors in Line.

The Republicans of Mineral Point,
joined by Republicans from sur
rounding towns, held their jubilee
over the election of Harrison and
Morton, in this city on Tuesday
evening. In the simplest form of
expression, it was grand ratifica.
tion, like unto everything Mineral
Point undertakes to carry out. The
line of torch bearers formed in front
of the club room at 7 O'clock, head
ed by the city band. At the City
Hall the Ladies' Carrie Harrison
club filed in line, and the order of
forward march to the depot was
given. The object of going to the
depot was to meet some Platteyille
friends who agreed to join us. They
arrived at 1920 by special train,
over one hundred strong, and among
them were the ladies' club of that
place with their lady drum corps.
The line was then reversed and
marched back through High street
to NJ. Z. church, thence north to A.
l.. Whites residence, then onto the
street west of Whites and on south
as far as John J. Ross residence,
thence east on the street by the first
ward school building to Chas. Gales
residence, thence north to High and
down High to Commerce and Hoard,
when they counter-marched back to
City Hall.
While the parade was passing
down through High street the last
time, every one in line being pro-
vided with Roman candles, the or
der was given to set off the same.
This in connection with the sky
rockets and other fireworks being
put off by individuals from house
tops and porches along side the line
of marchers, presented one of the
finest scenes ever witnessed in Min
eral Point. 1t can better be imsg-
ined than described. The heavens
were illumin ated and the beautiful
decorations on the street brought t
plainly to view from one end of the
street to the other; and all the
while the band was executing the
choicest Of strains and the multi
tude hurrahing.
Upon coming to halt in front
of the City Hall the marchers broke
ranks, and while our loyal ladies
were caring for the comforts Of
those from Platteyille at the Odd
Fellows dining hall, the throng was
| held in front of the Gity Hall, where
few happy remarks were made by
! Prof. Gardner, and Mr. Murphy, Of
Platteville, and p. Allen, Jr., of this
city, which were interspersed BY
grand campaign songs, to fit IN after
