MAYOR LAMALLE left to-day for
Chicago in the interest of the firm
of Gundry, Gray & Co. Look out
for new goods.
By a history of the Richland
county circuit court, published in
the Richland Center Observer, it is
seen that the late Judge Mortimer
M. Jackson presided at the first
term of the court held there.
THE Alpha Society will give
coffee and doughnut sociable at
Mrs. J. Hadfeld's on Tuesday even
ing, April Sth. Readings and
plenty of music will be furnished.
Admission 10 cents. All are in
yited to attend.
Miss Cox, one of our estimable
milliners, has left this week for
Crete, Neb., for the purpose of car
rying on the same business there.
Her niece, Miss Thompson, accom-
panies her. These ladies will be
valuable acquisitions to Crete. Many
friends in Mineral Point regret their
departure, but wish them much
prosperity.
A GOOD place for the new council
to begin economizing is on the
salary of the city assessor. 5000 is
either too much for assessing Min
eral Point, or the other salaried city
officials do not get enough. The
town of Mineral Point, having a
territory of about S by o miles,
pays but 1925 for assessing, and the
city Of Dodgeyille pays only $75.
BUY the Big 10 flour
THE man who does not take q
newspaper was in town yesterday,
says an exchange. lie wiped his
nose on an awning, tried to blow
out the electric light at the hotel,
failed; then tried to light iis cigar
on it; paid 25 cents for an almanac;
put a nickel in the slot at the post
office and kicked because the mail
didn't appear; wanted to lick the
cashier of the first national bank
because it closed at four o'clock, aud
watched the clock sign oyer one of
the jewelry stores four hours for it
to strike.
THE severest storm Of the whole
winter season was experienced here
last Thursday evening and night,
During the day a fierce wind from
the northeast prevailed, and with
the approach of night snow and
sleet made their appearance, while
the wind ragged furiously. This
state of affairs continued all night,
and in the morning our people
awoke TO find 'the beautiful" banked
up in hooks and corners and driven
through every conceivable crack in
all buildings, while open space was
mostly bare. The storm was gener-
al throughout the country South
and east Of us the storm was accom-
panied by rain, thunder and light
ming, cyclones, etc. Most surely
this section Jared well.
The TRIBUNE has completed with
in the last week the printing of a
large number Of eight-page folders
for the Maple Grove Stock Farm, Of

wonderful trotting ability, a. to per.
forming and producing, Of each gen
