Struck by Lighting.

During the storm of last Saturday
morning lightning struck the house OF
Martin Ryan of this city. Shortly be,
fore six o'clock Mr.. Ryan arose, and
when about to light fire in his
kitchen stove he heard a cracking
noise, and at first supposed it was hal
falling on the roof. After lighting the
fire the noise continued, and he went
out of the kitchen door and on looking
up saw that the roof was on fire. HelE
was called and soon the flames were
extinguished, but not before a con-
siderable portion of the roof had been
burned. The chimney was perfectly
sound and as the outside of the root
was soaked with the rain it was
evident that the house had been set on
fire by lightning. We are glad to
know that the loss is covered by in.
surance.

The thirty-seventh general meeting
of the German Roman Catholic Soci
eties of the United States will be held
at Dubuque on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, Sept. II, Is and 19, 1892
John Jeuck will attend as the delegate
from st. Joseph's Benevolent society
of Mineral Point, and fifty of the other
members Of St. Joseph's Society will
leave in body on Saturday morning
for Dubuque to attend the meeting.
They have engaged the Mineral Point
Band to 60 with them, which will add
greatly to the delight of the occasion.
To manufacturers like the Royal
Baking Powder Company, the public
is under large debt of gratitude for
the increased purity of articles of food
sold at the present day. The reports
of the official Government Investigations
Of baking powders show the Royal to
be stronger and purer than any other.
1t is quite evident that neither ingen-
uity, science nor expense can in any
way improve upon the Royal Baking
Powder as now before the public.
The open season in the game law
began Sept. 1st. Woodcock, quail,
partridge, pheasant, plover, prairie
chicken, mallard, teal or wood duck
may be killed until December. Wild
duck of any variety Except as above
specified), wild goose or brant of any
variety or any aquatic fowl whatever,
from Sept. to May l. Hunting with
dogs is prohibited for two years from
Sept. l, 1891.

New Uniforms for the Band.

The Mineral Point band is COM
posed of twenty-one pieces and is
recognized as one of the best bands in
the northwest. To be up to the times,
it was deemed necessary and right
that new uniforms be procured for the
members, and the matter was entrust-
ed to the leader, Adam Dresen, who is
an expert tailor as well as a firstclass
band musician. That the task has
been well performed is shown by the
handsome uniforms in which the
members now appear. Each uniform
is made of dark green cloth specially
fitted to the wearer and consists of a
four button cutaway frock coat, vest
and pantaloons, dress helmet, and a
fatigue cap, all of the latest and most
approved style. The coat and vest are
ornament with red cord, silver buttons
and silver binding, with silver shoulder
knots on coat, the pantaloons with red
stripe. The dress hemlet is elaborately
ornamented with silver trimmings and
fine buffalo hair plume. 1t is one of
the richest and handsomest band
helmets in use and exceedingly popular
with leading bands of the country.
The fatigue cap is the new regulation
Y. S. marine cap. The total cost of
the uniforms is about $500. They are
very handsome indeed and are in keep
ing with the progress of the band
and of our city in other directions.
The weather permitting, the band will
appear this Friday evening in full
dress and give concert.

Columbian Public School Celebration,

ColuH1uldu IuDllc SCHOOL CeIeDratlOn.
Two weeks ago circulars were dis
'tributed throughout the State calling
attention to the National Columbian
Public School Celebration, October 81,
and stating that circular was in
course of preparation in the state
Superintendent's office which would
contain material for the use of the
public schools on that day.
The material in this circular is both
patriotic and historical in it's nature, is
sufficiently varied to. meet the needs
of different grades and has been so
selected that the teachers will find, in
the circular, articles suitable for read
ings and recitations, as we'll as material
for essay building. There is, however,
no especial provision for music. 1t is
suggested that the standard patriotic
songs as "Star Spangled Banner
America" ETC., be practiced in the
schools in preparation for Columbus
day.
The circulars will probably be in the
hands of the County Superintendent
as early as October l, and, if they are
promptly distributed, each school will
have fortnight, or more, of time for
preparation-material being at hand.
Any teacher failing to receive the
circular by October 8, should cores
pond with his county superintendent.

MINERAL POINT FAIR OF 1892.
Good Words for the Southwestern
Wisconsin Industrial Exposition.

Good Words for the Southwestern
Wisconsin Industrial Exposition.
The Darlington Republican.
The Mineral Point Fair last week
was very successful in all department,
especially in the horse, cattle and
sporting departments. The racing was
good; in no race were there less than
eight starters, and in some as many as
a dozen and every race was for blood.
Mr.. Whitman, of Dodgeville, the start
ing Judge, proved himself to be simply
a marvel of success, and Capt. Stewart,
of Darlington, held the watch on every
race. The music furnished by the
Mineral Point band would reflect cred
it upon the Marine Band Of Washing
ton, it being one of finest country bands
in America.
The Darlington Democrat.
The Mineral Point Fair drew large
number of Darlington people last
week.
The Dodgeville Sun.
The fair at Mineral Point was a
very pleasant affair and well patron
lied. Three or four hundred of our citi-
zens visited it on Thursday and Fri
day and were very well pleased with
the entertainment given. The music
deserves special mention, being furn-
ished by the Mineral Point band of %
pieces. Our neighbors can feel proud
Of their band.

Michael McKenna.

1t becomes the sad duty of The
Democrat this week to chronicle the
death OF one of Iowa countys most
highly respected citizens. Mr.. Michael
Mckenna of the town of Moscow,
closed his earthly labors on Friday after
noon Sept. 9. Although it was known
that he was afflicted with diabetes, his
death was not expected. He had been
failing for some time, but strong
hopes were entertained that he would
rally. He was in Mineral Point the
week previous to his death, and was
about his house on Friday morning,
when illness suddenly came upon him,
and in few hours he breathed his last.
The deceased was about So years of
age. He was born in County Tyrone,
Ireland, came to Wisconsin with his
parents, brothers and sisters in 1941
and was consec Iently one of the early
settlers of the state.
Michael Mckenna was one of Gods
noblemen. He was close student of
passing events, and thoroughly in
formed upon the questions of the hour.
He was free from bigotry and studied
facts and opinions with desire to
arrive at the truth. In politics, dem
ocrat in the broadest and best sense of
the word. In religion, a devout
Roman Catholic, firm in his own con-
victions of faith and duty yet, ever
tolerant of the religious opinions Of
others. The world is better for such
lives. We mourn for the deceased as
one of our best and truest friends.
His life was gentle, and his kindly
presence among US will be missed.
He leaves to mourn their great loss
his wife and eight children, four sons
and four daughters, to whom many
friends extend sympathy and con-
dolence.
The funeral took place on Monday,
Rev. JAS. O'Keefe officiating, and was
very largely attended. Interment in
the Waldwick Catholic cemetery.
