Mr.. Thomas Batten; aged 78 years.
Deceased was born in the parish of

on June II, 1914; and in 1910 came to
America and settled at Linden. He
was devout Christian, and a very
active member of the M. E. church;
and death came to him as a blessed re-
lief after several months of sickness,
in which he was sustained by the con-
ISOLATION of religion. Two sons and
one daughter, and his sister Mrs.
Simon Lanyon, Of this city survive
him. The funeral services were held
at Linden Friday, May IS, and were
conducted by Rev. M. Dinsdale and

Council Proceedings.

A special meeting was called to-
gether by the mayor, A. w. Cobb,
at which he presided. The following g
aldermen were present: Hornung,
knight, We'll, Jenkins and Frieden,
Gilman being absent.
Meeting was called to order by
the mayor; reading of the minutes
Of last meeting was dispensed with.
The mayor then introduced the
new ordinance to regulate and pre-
vent the running of dogs at large.
Its clauses were briefly discussed,
but no issue raised as TO the fact of
It's bringing condign misfortune to
the canine family. Alderman Knight
said, persuasively, "When we con-
slider the number of dogs to be seen
on our streets, kept by those having
no special use for them, I'm sure
that | am at loss to say wherein
the provisions of the ordinance dis
appoint me; it, therefore, meets with
my approval" Alderman We'll, who
turns a phrase into epigrammatic
neatness, said, GLOW can we look
into the face of an honest
TOwsar or q sPoor noo u.o,
And thus barter for tax, pain and penalty
their liberties away;
nevertheless, | move that the ordi-
nance be adopted" Motion carried.
Alderman We'll further moved that
the pounding of dogs, the collection
of one dollar head, ETC., be passed
into the hands of the city marshal,
he to receive 20 per cent. of the tax
collected, and to pay the balance
over to the city treasurer. Carried.
James Ramsden was appointed
commissioner of noxious weeds for
the city by the mayor.
The invitation extended by the
Geo. IL. Legate Post to the common
council, to Join with them in body
in the observance of Memorial Day,
was duly accepted.
The mayor suggested that, in
consequence of many patriotic
citizens having already contributed
quite a sum Of money towards
fttingly celebrating Independence
Day July 4th), it would be no
more than right and proper for the
council to encourage and assist in
the movement, and his sentiments
met with no opposition.
Owing to the lateness of the
hour the drawing of the jury list
by the aldermen was postponed
until the next day.
Meeting adjourned sine die.

a good watch, and, upon being wound
up, began Immediately to run again.
Miss Maud Jiggins, who visited in
this city for several weeks, the guest OF
Miss Annie Jenkin, returned to her
home in Chicago, on Monday. She
was accompanied by Miss Jenkin, who
will further pursue the study Of music.
All who are deirous of receiving in
structions upon the guitar or any band
instrument, by Louis BAIL, Of High
land, most competent instructor, will
please leave word at Dresen's tailor
shop, 5. T. Osborne's music store or
J. p. Frieden's shoe store.
Work has commenced on the lot
toward the erection Of the handsome
new 2. M. church in this city. The
work will go right along, until one of
the largest churches in this section of
country will be completed. This is
another evidence that Mineral Point is
wide awake.
The proper construction to be placed
upon the rather vague clause Of the
assessment laws providing for the ex-
emption of personal property to the
value of 5000 is, that if the person
whose property is assessed shall not
have fully two hundred dollars worth
of household furniture, the deficiency
may be made up out of other personal
property.
The Darlington Democrat: Mrs. T.
ZWeifel, who has been very sick at her
home in Duluth, arrived here Wednes-
day accompanied by her mother, Mrs.

Mrs Zweifel is convalescent and hope
her recovery to perfect health will be
rapid.
Tommy Burke, 12-year-old lad of
Clinton, Dane county, was killed in a
horrible manner Saturday. He was
watching the building of wire fence
when the horse used to stretch the wire
ran away and caused the wire to break.
One of the broken ends struck Tommy
Burke on the arm and neck and cut
the jugular vein. The boy started for
home but after walking about six rods
he fell dead.
Gus. Gutknecht, farmer living near
AVoca, commenced removing large
mound on his farm recently, which
has annoyed him for many years, and
in doing so discovered a tomb which
contained the skeletons of three
human beings lying side by side,
enveloped in ashes and charcoal. The
old settlers say they have been famil-
lar with the mound for nearly fifty
years, the farm on which it is situated
having been cultivated for nearly that
length of time. The mound had never
been opened within the memory of any
of the settlers, and had been worn
away considerably by the stock on the
farm. Before its removal last week it
was nearly circular and about twenty
eight feet in diameter. The skeletons
were replaced in their positions and
covered again with the earth.

patch. The agony is over. As l
predicted in my first dispatch, Old
Grover won in a jog. The scene was
unprecedented when his name was
first mentioned; the applause was
deafening and il lasted about thirty
minutes.

eleven mortal hours. At 3: 30 this
morning the roll call of the States
was finished and II thousand tellers
iold the 5000 lOOkers-On that Cleve-
land had the necessary twO-thirds
majority and was running easy,
with lengths to spare.
States that had cOmplimented other
candidates began to rush to the win
ner when Ohio moved that the rules
be suspended and the nomination
made unanimous by reclamation.
Then the band played Dixie and
eve all went home in the grey of the
morning"
Twenty or thirty thousand people
had held their seats and watched and
waited and cheered all through the
night.
Tammany fought with desperation
to the finish, the last speech of the
session being a powerful effort by
BourKe Cochrane, the orator for the
Braves. However, when they had
done their all, they swallowed their
choler, smothered their chagrin,
mopped their faces and fell into line
by voting solidly to make it unani-
nous.
The convention meets at ? O'Clock
to-day for Vice President. Gray is
prolematic, but not positive.
For the Arsenal celebration in July
and the Democratic iolification the
day following, the committee from
Columbia here secured the services
Senator Daniel, the silver-tongued
orator of Virginia; Gov. Campbell
