Found Dead.

David Foley, Jr., was found dead in a
piece of woods yesterday afternoon on his
fathers farm in the town of Emmett. He
left the house in the morning to cut
brush, apparently in his usual health, but
not appearing at dinner-time, a search
was made resulting in the finding of his
lifeless body where he had been at
work. His death is attributed to heart
disease. Mr.. Foley was quite popular
with all who knew him and his sudden
taking off is great shock to his family
and friends. His age was 45 years.

Death of John Albert Mentink.

John Albert Mentink, only son OF
Mr. and Mrs. John w. Mentink, died
at his home in the First ward, Sunday
night, February s, 1891, at IL: 80 O. clock,
of consumption, in the 23d year of his
age.
1t IS something over a year ago that
the disease of which he died first began
to develop itself. He was then en-
ployed as typo in the Office of The
Madison Journal. He struggled against
the inroads of the disease until finally
he had to give up work and sought rest
and quiet at his home here, where all
that the care and attentions of wife,
parents and sisters could accomplish,
was done for him during his gradual
sinking away into that sleep which
knows no waking. We think it pecu-
liarly sad, as in this case, that one SO
young should be taken from the scenes
of this life, but such is SO often the in
scrutable and mysterious decree, that
it proves eve have no power in our
selves to help ourselves"
Deceased was born in this city March
Z, 1868, and four years ago last June he
went to Madison to live Here he mar
ried, his wife surviving him with a
daughter of the tender age Of IS
months. In their sad affliction his wife,
daughter, parents and sisters have the
sincere sympathy of all.
''It is not death to die,
To leave this weary road
And with the brotherhood on high
To be at home with Cod
Mr.. Mentink's funeral will be held
from the home Of his parents to- NOR
row Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
The services will be conducted by Rev.

THE REPUBLICAN OF last week antic-
ipated somewhat the nuptials of Miss
Mary Baum and Fred McNichol, at An
tigo, later intelligence giving the date of
their marriage to be Monday, February
8. A wide circle of friends here extend
to the couple congratulations over the
happy event.
Last evening number of ladies
pleasantly surprised Mrs. M S. Wilder
at her home. All present spent very
delightful evening and one long to be
remembered. A portion of the even
ing was passed in pleasant conversation
after which all sat down to a table
which fairly groaned under its burden
of substantials and delicacies. After
expressing themselves highly pleased
with the way in which the evening had
been passed, all repaired to their
homes, taking with them a souvenir of
the occasion.
The annual masquerade ball at
Turner Opera house, Saturday evening,
was big affair, the masqueraders and
spectators occupying every inch of
available room. 1t is seldom that SO
large gathering is seen in Watertown.
Everything went merry with the mask
ed dancers, and fun, frolic and enjoy
ment prevailed to the close of the en-
tertainmenU. Some Of the charac-
tiers represented created great merri-
ment, especially the Two Johns.
The scenes and tableaux were very
fine, and neither pains nor expense
were spared in presenting them. The
Turner masquerade is entitled to the
credit OF being one of the most success
full events of the season in the line of
amusements.
The lecture of Rev. M. Evans, of
GAINESVILLE, in the NJ. E. church course
last evening on the Sunny Side of Life"
was no misnomer, but decidedly in har-
mony with its title, the lecturer treating
his subject with bright, pat and humorous
citations and incidents, which kept his
hearers in most mirthful and joyous
mood from the beginning to the close.
We have not the space we would wish for
an analysis of the lecture, but the point
chiefly aimed at was that the sunshine
should be let into our lives under any and
all circumstances and thus dispel morbid
ness and gloom, which are too apt to
cross our path if watchfulness and the
exercise of great care are not practiced
in daily life The lecturer made de-
cided hit, and there is a general desire
that the reverend gentleman be heard
here again.

Opera house was the scene of probably
the finest and most successful affair of
the kind ever given in Watertown., 1t
was the occasion of the ante-Lent hop
of the Cambrian club, and was truly a
fitting close to their winters series of
dances. This clubs entertainments
have become very popular, being an

number of our citizens, and as pains
are taken by the members to make the
parties as select as possible, finer as

night is seldom seen here. Dancing

numbers had taken place, the grand

lowing programme was danced, to the
