A Dandy Band Hall.

Yes, it is a "dandy," to use a
common expression when referring
to something extra. Have you seen
it? Every citizen should by all
means. Nothing like it in Mineral
Point ever before. 1t is located on
the third floor of the Graber build
ing. Without seeing no one would
hardly think it possible to arrange
the same into such attractive, cosy
and pleasant quarters. The band
members are tickled over it and
every citizen might well share with
them in their pride. In connection
with the hall is splendid dressing
room, supplied with a wash stand
and large mirror, and equipped
with closed apartments for uni
forms, etc The whole has been
newly papered and painted through
out, new floor laid and the
windows improved by the putting
in of large glass, This expense
and the purchasing of some new
instruments that were necessary
have put the members to large
outlay, and now for completion
they must have uniforms. What
ever substantial aid and encourage
ment our people may extend will be
thankfully received and appreciated.

the evening of above date His Hon.
Mayor Penhallegon, presiding,
Aldermen Knight, We'll, Freiden,
Gorgon, A. L. White being present,
and Alderman Gilman absent, the
following proceedings were had:
Meeting was called to order by
the mayor, and on motion Of Alder
man Knight the reading of the
minutes of previous meetings was
dispensed with.
DR.. Eastman, health physician,
then made verbal statement of
the present condition of the public
health in regard to contagious dis.
eases, regretting his utter inability
of getting at a positive, reliable,
aud regular report of all such cases
owing to the fact of not being duly
advised or reported to his office.
However he believed that the
danger of increase of epidemic was
practically at and end, and that
such cases as existed at present
were perfectly under control. Yet,
continued the doctor, vigilance is
absontIy necessary, lest disease
should Unexpectedly get a new
start He moreover remarked, that
ne wut still aware of some few
cases of typhoid fever and some
lingering symptoms OF n mild
diphtheria aud it would be well
for the health officers To promptly
and efficiently quarantine the
primses, then by strictly oonfuing
such cases 70 the households in the
afflicted localities.
Alderman Knight moved the
resolution; "ResoIved, that all
families suffering in anyway from
attack Of typhoid fever or diphtheria
be notified by the visiting health
officer Of the board to report im-
mediatly at DR.. Eastman's otiice."

A GOOD many people are losing
quarters these days in an easy and
simple way. A man will offer to
bet you that he can tell the dates of
any quarters you have in your
pockets if you will give him three
chances. He will first guess that
the date on the coin is 1858, then
1854 and finally 1856. Twenty
chances to one the coins bear one
or the other Of these dates. The
explanation Is easy enough a. these
are the yeats so many silver quarters
were coined and it is generally safe
to bet on them-that is if you keep
on betting you will be big winner
in the end. Ask the first person
you meet if he will give you all the
quarters he has if you can name the
date on each one IN three guesses.
