from A to B, there is q red signal |
displayed at A, which commands |
train that follows train l, to halt.
As soon as train has passed station |
b, the red signal is substituted by
white signal, and train two proceeds |
on its way to station b, and so on.
The same system operates in both
directions, and the danger Of train

The system has been put in opera

SUIc1DE.-Mr. K. Edyvean, long
timed and respected citizen of
Dodgeville, committed suicide on
Tuesday morning of this week by
hanging himself in the loft of his
barn. His body was found by Mr.,
Peters. A short while before he
was attending to business in his
store in his accustomed genial man
f&. Financial difficulties are the
supposed cause, brought about by
others to whom he had been too
generous. He was about SO years
of age. He leaves a wife but no
children.
THE entertainment by the Sons of
Veterans on the evening of the 18th
inst. ranks among the best given In
Mineral Point this winter. The
several performers and singers are
a credit to the city. Being well
known there is no need of personal
praise. A very large audience,
such as they deserved, turned out.
The object was to raise funds to
liquidate debts of the 5. of V. The
preparations, advertising, etc, under
the supervision of Alfred Vivian,
were mastery conducted. The
Mineral Point orchestra is being
praised for the excellent music
furnished. The public will be glad
for another opportunity to attend an
entertainment by these young folks.
The sudden death of little Eddie
Polglase, the only surviving child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Polglase,
which occurred this Thursday
morning, has enshrouded the par
ents with untold grief and the com
munity with sympathy. For three
or four days the little fellow had
not felt well, and on the morning of
his death he desired to go down
stairs, which he did. When near
the foot of the stairway those near
him noticed a change of counte
= nance, and he was assisted to a
lounge. In twenty minutes he was
dead 1t was pronounced conges-
tion of the brain by the attending
physician. He was twelve years of
age. Funeral from the parents res

THERE is an enormous oversupply y
OF eggs in the wholesale market.
Produce commission merchants and
dealers have had this fact illustrated
by the prices falling 10 l34 cents per
dozen in the N. Y. market. This
has given rise to much heated argu-
ment, one party holding that it Is
the natural result of the extremely

Defending His Friend.

A horse and a goat were lately grazing
together in field in England They
belonged to the same master, and had
grown to be fast and true friends to one
another. The field was open to the
road and bordered only by low hedge
row, and it sometimes happened that a
lot of cruel, idle boys from the town
close by saw fit to amuse themselves by
throwing stones at the poor, little,
harmless goat, while some more cruel
than the rest tried to hit it with stick.
The horse they did not dare to at
tack; but although they left him
in peace, whenever he saw his
friend thus ill-treated, he left off
grazing, and however far off he might
be, came racing and galloping across
the field to drive away its enemies.
But, alasl they always came back; and
when this had gone on several times,
tho horse lost patience, and evidently
m ,de up his mind to give them lessor
that they would not forget in hurry.
Sc the very next time the young ruffians
appeared and began teazing the poor
goat as before, he galloped up to the
rescue, and suddenly seizing with his
ts7th one of the lads by the collar of his
cat flung him bodily over the hedge
inso the road beyond. What hero he
must have been to the goat ever sincel

Fred, be told him about the two con-

Now, boys, this is true story. and
there is moral in it. You are more
frequently observed, and heard and
overheard, than you are aware of. Your
elders have habit of making an esti-
mate of your mental and moral worth.
You can not keep late hours, lounge ON
the corners, visit low places of amuse-
ment, smoke cigarettes and chat boys
who are better than you are, without
older people making a note of your bad
habits.

purposes and parental respect would

RANDOM SHOTS.

MARIETTE, Mich, is to have a new
Grand Army Hall.
THE Boston city council has rejected
the models for the statues of Grant
and Sheridan, but has accepted one OF
Farragat. This will be of bronze and
will cost So, 500.
IT is remarkable coincidence that
the place OF burial OF both Generals
Grant and Mcclellan is named Riverside,
one on the banks of the Hudson and
the other on the banks OF the Delaware.
In the cemetery of one of the churches
of Philadelphia there is planted the
lower limb of prominent Grand Army
man, who religiously visits the place on
each holiday to festoon the burial place
OF his deceased member.

OVER THE SILENT WAY

Gone, is her childish purity,
Out from the golden day;
Fading away in the light so sweet
Where the silver stars and sunbeams meet
Paving way for her waxen feet
over the silent way.
over the bosom tenderly
The peaTl-white hands are press'd,
The lashes lie on the cheeks so thin,
Where the softest blush of the rose hath BEEN
Shutting the blue of her eyes within
The pure lids closed in rest
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair
She was so frail that Love sent down
From his heavenly gems that soft bright crown
To shade her brow with its waves so brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep with the tender smile
Froze on her silent lips
By the farewell kiss of her dewy breath.
Cold in the Clasp of the angel Death,
Like the last fair bud OF fading wreath
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Rose bud under your shady leaf,
Hid from the sunny dsy,
Do you miss the glance of the eye so bright,
Whose blue was heaven in your tinid sight?
It's beaming now in the world of light
over the starry way.
Hearts where the darling's head hath lain,
Held by loves shining ray.
DO you know that the touch of her gentle han(
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land
oh, she waits for us with the angel band
Over the starry way.
