Ed. Zribune.-When the ladies
of the M. Z. church do anything,
they invariably do it well. Their
festival and bazaar on Thanksgiving
evening was no exception. Their
refreshments were abundant and of
the very best, particularly so were
the oysters. This department was
superintended by Mrs. VIM. Perry,
and more delicious oysters never
charmed an epicure. The proceeds
netted considerably more than 500.
Long may they wave.
A QUIET OBSERVER.
Why did the writer of the fore
going fail to give his name? Did
we not know that it smacks strongly
of the truth, it would have been left

SUDDEN DEATH.-This community
was startled Monday morning by
the announcement that Mr.. Peter
Adams had died suddenly while on
his way TO work, that of mining.
Mr.. Adams was robust, fine ap.
pearing man, and up to the hour of
his death was apparently free from
all disease or sickness. OF his
morning meal previous to his start
ing for work he partook heartily,
with spirits as bright as usual. On
his way he was prostrated just as
some other miners caught up with
him, and life had departed before
they could get him back home. The
cause is said to be apoplexy of the
heart. Mr.. Adams was born in
Pennsylvania sixty years ago last
October, and came to Wisconsin

THANKsGIvING DAY was more
fittingly observed in Mineral Point
this year than for many, many years,
if not ever before. Through the
special efforts of Revs. Chubb and
McManus are the results due more
than from any other source. These
gentlemen made canvass of the
city extending personal invitations
to attend the Union services at the
Nj. L. church in the morning. Civic
societies were likewise invited, and
the result was that the knights of
Pythias, the Odd Fellows, Good
Templars, Juvenile Temple, and O..
A. Il. Post fell into line and marched
with patriotic tread to the church,
where citizens in general W ere like
wise vending their way, until the
commodious edifice was filled to its
capacity. The programme consist
ing of select music, a recitation, a
sermon, and praise and prayer, was
well carried out and proved very
pleasing and instructive. The reci-
tation by Miss Lulu Hutchison was
tn at of very appropriate selection
which was strikingly rende red, and
firmly impressed upon all hearers
that hers is no ordinary talent.
OF the sermon by Rev. Chubb great
praise abounds. 1t was full to the
brim of good, gospel logic, spiced
with patriotism fitting to the occa-
sion, and if his remark, and happy
suggestions are only needed Chris
tianity and loyalty will advance to
the betterment of our country and
her people.

tell you little fact which embodies
very important political principle.
4 few days ago | Menl inln drug

salts. 'One dollar, please said the
clerk. 'But l can purchase them in
New York for 80 cents!' | exclaimed
in astonishment. Not now, sir,

dollar, went to my office and looked
over the schedule of the new tariff.

not place any duty whatever on

And, right here in Mineral Point,
shoe dealer asserted during the
late campaign to a customer that
the price Of shoes was advanced 25
cents per pair because Of the Nc
Kinley bill, Notwithstanding the
Mckinley law puts hides on the
free list, and reduces the tariff on

goods, saying "the price will surely

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Coleman McDonoueh Run over and
Killed.

Yesterday afternoon, about 6 o'clock, one
OF Mr.. A. ii. Freeman's teams was on Com
merclal street, awaiting the passage of a
railroad train before crossing the track.
The horse was rendered skittish by the
train. After the train passed the driver
attempted to cross. At the same time a
small boy named Coleman McDonougb, aged
eight years. and son of John McDonough-
who resides at the corner of Fore and Silver
streets-tried to run in front of the horse.
The boy tried twice. The first time he ran
back again, but at the second attempt the
horse struck the boy and knocked him down,
and the wagon wheels-the team was an ex-
press wagon-passed over him. The boy
was taken to his home and lived only about
half an hour. Coroner Gould was called and
after hearing the facts decided that If any
reason for further inquiry, is given by
eight o'clock this morning, an inquest will
be held; otherwise not.

remarks the choir sang "One By One" Mr..
Wilson then offered prayer. The poem "The

ton by Rev. DIR. Hill closed the services.
