Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1888-07-26

O'Clock. Shortly after the fall he
was found by Mr.. VIM. Jeuck who
carried him up stairs. He was
under the influence of liquor at the
time, and for long while had dis
played symptoms of an unbalanced
mind. He was 81 years of age; an
old settler, and previous to keeping
saloon he farmed a little ways from
this city.
A Ho1EsTEADER living near Flor.
ence, this state, says that deer were
never as plentiful as they are this
summer. He says he has seen more
deer this summer than he has during
any summer for the past three years.
These animals are becoming great
nuisances to the farmers.
j. NJ. SMITH, an honored citizen
of Mineral Point, has been appoint
ed by the government as a member
of the commission to negotiate with
the band Of Ute Indians in southern
Colorado. If Democrats are to have
these appointments no better selec-
ton than that of Mr.. Smith could
be made. He has gone for the pur-
pose of entering upon his duties.
Mr.. LEWIS, the secretary of the
Y. M. G. A. of the state, gentle
man of great strength, mentally
and spiritually, will be in our city
next Sabbath. He will preach at
the M. K. church at 1890 a. m.; at
the p. Nj. church at p. m, and adj
dress the young men in the Presby-
terian church at 3:30'p. m.
SOME time ago all gambling was
stopped at Boscabel, and later an or
dinance was passed ordering blinds
and other distractions removed
from the saloon windows. Follow
ing this arrests have been made for
the breaking Of Sundays laws. All
of which has called forth q notice,
signed by all the saloon keep ers,
warning proprletors of livery
stables, barber shops, meat markets,
restaurants, and all places of
business, that are usually open on
Sunday, to hereafter keep their
houses closed on that day under pain
of prosecution. Much excit ement
prevails over the situation.
The Mineral Point ball club has
returned from its trip to Shullsburg
and Warren without any victory on
its banner. Although defeated at
both places there's proof in the
score that the boys played respect
ably. AT Shullsburg the score was
A to 7, in which game Jacka, the
pitcher, struck out IS batters. At
Warren the score was 0 to IL. These
we're good games to say the least,
and its quite probable that under
favorable circumstances our boys
could win. 1t must be remembered
that the captain of the nine, and
one of its leading players, was in
jured to such an extent in a prac.
tice game last Friday that he was
unable to go with the boys.
THE posters, large bills, premium
and race lists are now being dis
tributed over a large territory, and
if you do not receive them call on
or write the secretary and he will
furnish them. 1t is time for you to
make your preparations for the fair
which will be held Sept 4, 5, and
z. There will be great crowds and
an unusual entry, in all Of the de-
partments. More fine stock will be
on exhibition than ever, and it will
surprise you to know that there is
so much Of it in Wisconsin. All Of
the other departments will be equal
" well represented 1t takes all
these things and thousands of people
to make a successful fair. Mineral
Point has always taken care of its
big crowds and is making prepar-
ations to DO so this fall Come and
