Our phenomenally mild winter
had its back stiffened with the APP
proach of March. The last week
has been the most severe of the
winter. The cold snap was ushered
in with from five to six inches of
snow, since when the mercury has
hoyered around zero and below
nightly. Were not the sun so
strong at midday the weather would
rank as severely cold. Fortunately
there has been but little breeze.
Sleighing is not good, still it is the
best we have had for the entire
winter.
QUITE change in the Salvation
Army force Of this city takes place
this week. The able and energ etic

ter, of Chicago, will be the success
ors. Two Of Mineral Points girls,
Nettie Whitney and Minnie Kendall

former with Captain Ruth, in Min
neapolis, and the latter to the train
ing school in Chicago.
THE news Of the death of Fred
Gilman, in Chicago, was received
by relatives in this city on Tuesday.
Deceased was we'll known in Min
eral Point, having spent his boyhood
days here. He was son of the
late Fred Gilman who moved with
his family from here to La Sale a
few years ago. The young man
was "a years of age and an excep-
tionally fine musician, having re-
ceiyed a most accomplished educa-
ton, and his services as instructor
on the piano have commanded the
highest prices in Chicago. Hemor-
rhage was the cause of death. His
remains were inferred at La Sale.
Our townsman Mr.. Chas. Gilman
attended the funeral.
EIGHT young ladies' were taken
into communion at Trinity church
last Sunday night The ceremony
of the imposition of hands" was
performed by Bishop Knight of the
southern diocese.of Wisconsin, who
after the confirmation addressed
some very impressive remarks to
the young ladies' upon their duties
in the Grace they were about to run"
Bishop Knights sermon at the same
service was also a masterpiece. His
simile of the races in the Isthmian
games, outside the walls Of Gorinth,
as illustrative Of the race we are
daily running, was most i'm pressiye.
His earnest manner and glowing
words could not but carry great
weight with the congregation. Al
together it was gratifying servic e.
TINE and again after men hav e
met and have declared them selves
the possessors Of the intellectual
domain, some company of their i'm
prisoned women has dashed across
the scene in a liberty and power
very amazing to the old conceited
army of occupation. In the last
hundred years woman mas been such
an ascending star rising with such a
uniform motion and growing brilli-
ancy that it now seems probable that
meu will have no resource except to
say, with the saint, count not my
self to have measured the whole
