for meu or boys, for gents furnish
ing goods, etc, call on A. G. Del
Ter, the leader. Prices way down.
No need of going cold. Al
ABOUT eighty dollars in money or
goods was given for the relief Of
our poorer citizens Thursday at the
Thanksgiving union service held in
the p. NJ. church. This is step
upward.
THE p NJ. church choir of this
city has a very nice custom: When
one of their number is about to get
married they club together and
make him or her a present. The
fortunate individual this time is
Miss Lou Bond, who has done
noble work in the service of song
for many years. The present con-
sisted of a silver mounted berry
dish, with ladle, and was given to
the young lady on Wednesday even
ing, at the home of the leader, on
which occasion Mrs. J. p. Hankins
invited the choir to supper, and a
very pleasant time was had.
A HORRIBLE case of brutality is
reported from Chippewa county,
this state, in the town of Bloomer.
August Amenda, farmer, went
home drunk and, armed with club,
he beat his wife while she lay in
bed. He then dragged her over
the floor and jumped on her body
with his heavy boots until he
thought her dead. Dragging her to
shed, he stripped her of all cloth
ing and threw bucket Of slops
over her naked form. After lying
there for some time she recovered
consciousness and succeeded in
reaching clothesline, from which
she secured some wet garments.
Then she walked to the village Of
Bloomer, three miles distant, to a
doctor. She lies in critical condi-
ton, and should it result in her
death there is reason TO believe
Amenda will be lynched. He has
been placed in Jail at Chippewa
Falls.
READERS of the TRIBUNE have
been treated TO number of poems
signed 81. A. O." Without excep.
tion they were full of passion,
warmth and lofty sentiment, clothed
in faultless rhyme; also his story of
"Shakerag Under the Hill" We
have received a copy of the AUont
Courier, published at Bozeman,
Montana, in which among the lit
erary features of the paper adver-
tised in advance is a serial story,
"Baby BY, Romance of the Mus.
selshell Range" by L. A. Osborne.
In connection with the announce
ment the Courier prints a good pict-
ure of Mr.. Osborne and brief
sketch of him, saying that his de-
scription of cowboy life in verse
long since earned for him the sohri-
quet, "The Cowboy Poet" Mr..
Osborne was during his boyhood
DAYS resident of Mineral Point,
and will be remembered by most of
our matured citizens. His head
quarters at present are at Fit. Smith,
Arkansas.
LAST week it was announced in
this paper that the county tax levied
on this city for this year was $27, :
600 more than last year. That was
correct, but it should be stated in
connection that the raise was en-
tirely on personal property. The
levy on real estate is precisely the
same as before, and for this latter
fact we can thank our worthy and
vigorous representative, Mr.. John
Dave, who argued ably and logic
ally in the interest Of the city. The
committee on equalization and tax.
alton had concluded to raise US on
both personal property and real
estate, and although Mr.. Dave
made praiseworthy efforts to chan ge
the minds of his colleagues and
have them place US no higher than
before, he succeeded therein only so
