people could not fail to have re-
ceived the impression that the
Methodist Episcopal church, in its
scope, in its activities, and in its
accomplished results, was second
to none.
A GENTLEMAN called A. w.
Culver, formerly of Cobb, and who
married Miss Tillie Weibers, of this
city, met with his death at Spring
view, Neb., on the 8th inst He
had gone with team for load of
wood, and not returning in due
time, neighbors went in search and
found his body in a canyon. Mystery
surrounds the affair.
Mrs. SHILLEN, wife of n. Shillen
of the Globe Hotel, met with quite
a painful injury Tuesday. 1t APP
pears that she was in the kitchen
managing the work of getting din
ner ready, when III some manner
she slipped and fell, striking her
right arm in such a way as to
severely strain it. The lady has
suffered greatly from the pain, and
it will probably be several weeks
before she regains full use of the
disabled member.
ANOTHER indication of our city's
growth is the new cooper shop of
w. A. Smith. The shop is located
in the Goldsworthy building on
Commerce street. Mr.. Smith is an
expert at the business, and does gun
repairing in successful manner.
Butter tubs, etc, kept on hand at
reasonable prices. All who deal
with him will find him pleasing,
accommodating gentleman. BY the
way, he is snare drummer for our
new band, and the best the city
ever had.
The difference between straight
and curly hair is very apparent on a
nicroscopical examination, says the
Natural Barber. A hair is a hollow
tube, and a straight hair is as round
as a reed, while curly hair is
always flattened Oh both sides and
curls toward one of the fiat sides,
never toward the edge. 1t is q Gu
rious and little-known fact that the
hair of women is coarser than that
of men, as well as thicker on the
scalp. In an average head of hair
there are about 10000 individual
hairs.
THE Iowa County Democrat
thinks, or rather pretends to think,
that the apportionment of the last
legislature is not of sufficient i'm
portance to command the attention
it is receiving. Isn't it? Then why
did leading Democratic papers out
side the state, thinking it was Re-
publican gorrymander, attack it
with all the force at command?
And it might be asked of the Dem
ocrat: why did one of its editors,
as a member of the Legislature,
support the adoption of the appor-
tionment, if it was of no import
ance?
MINERAL POINTS progression has
been marked in many ways within
the last year or two. One fact for
consideration is the good fortune
the people of this section have had
fall to them is the locating here of
DR.. Philip, the veterinary surgeon.
Mr.. Philip came from Canada high
ly endorsed, and his practice here
of a year has proven the endorse
ment none too strong. He is an
expert, this his successful practice
verifes, and his location in Mineral
Point fills lone-felt want.
A COUPLE of tramps infested this
city Monday and made themselves
conspicuous By purloining a gar
ment which hung in front Of
Kuhnhenn's tailor shop, and pail
of overshoes from the front of Ed
EngePs shoe store. Officers go
after the workless gentlemen in
short order and captured them witt
the goods in their possession. They
