splendidly.
A $4,000 offer for a business
building which was bought a few
years ago for about 2,7oO has been
refused. There's boom on foot in
Mineral Point; it's all true enough.
PARTIES interested in cheese fac
tories in the vicinity of Mineral
Point, discourage the establishing
of creamery here, and it now ap-
pears the enterprise must fail of
realization.
TnE Good Templars Of Willow
Springs partook of two feasts on
Friday of last week. One, supper
! provided by themselves; the other,
a mastery address delivered by Rev.
McManus, of this city.
The Mothers Monthly Meeting
will be held on Tuesday, March 10th,
at the home of Mrs. Jas, Brewer
Mrs, Brewer, with the Pres. of the
w. G. T. IT,, invite all the mothers,
especially young mothers, to meet
with them on that occasion. SEC
THRoUGH the intercession of Mr..
La Toilette who neglected no oppor-
tunlty up TO the last hour Of his
term in Congress to serve his con.
stituents, the TRIBUNE is favored
with generous supply of choice
flower and garden seeds from the
Department of Agriculture.
From the same lineage that has
given us Prof. Maria Mitchell, of
Vassar College, and Phoebe Hama
ford, the preacher and poetess,
comes their cousin Mrs. Mary A.
! Woodbridge, whose name has al.
ready lent to temperance annals one
of the brightest pages this century
can Frances y. Willard.
Mr., JoHN PEARcE will preach in
the z. NJ church at 1880 a. M. AT
1900 p. IN. the platform will be oc.
cupied by Mrs. Woodbridge, the
Sec. of the Worlds w. O. I. IT,,
who will preach a temperance ser
mon. The evening collection-out-
side of the envelopes-will be given
to the w G.. I. u.
For the extra mail pouch put on
the afternoon train out of this city
we will have to thank postmaster
Shepard, through whose efforts it
it was secured. This will greatly
facilitate business and correspond
ence between parties of this city
and those of towns between here
! anu JduesNlile.
AssEMBLYMAN CRAWFORD when at
home on Saturday gave out that the
reapportionment Of the state will
probably be made on the basis of
the census of 1885. The National
census bureau has not yet certified
the enumeration of towns aud
wards, and to await such return
would necessitate extending the
Legislative session beyond reason
able length.
OF COURSE the TRIBUNE thinks il
all right to print 100000 copies Of
"Jerry Rusk's Book on the Horse D
for distribution among the people,
but the Democrats assertion that il
viii cost 100000 is uuwarranted.
The books viii not cost to exceed
40 cents each, and the whole edition
very little more than the 25,U00 blue
books issued by our state for the
special benefit Of politicians
$3,308.65 is the amount reported
by Treasurer Hummer as interest on
state money deposited in banks, dur
ing the month of February. At the
same rate, Mr. Hummer will accumu-
late nearly enough during his term
to offset the shortage in the states
funds existing at the close Of the
term Of Democratic Treasurer
Jensen of precious memory.
MEssRs PHIL. ALLEN, VIM. A.
Jones, Calvert Spensley and c. w.
