Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1892-12-31

statistical tlend, 4,49S,05S, 1888 cigars
and 3,2lo, ,402,937 cigarettes manu-
factured in this country last year.
That would give seventy cigars and
fifty cigarettes to every man, woman
and child in the land. Can tobacco,
therefore, be classed as a luxury?
On Christmas eve the passenger
train due here at p. m. was two
hours late owing TO a sidebar of
the engine swapping suddenly VIII en-
near Hanover. A broken end flew
up with such force that blow
from it smashed the fireman's seat
which he had vacated only a
moment before. Marrow escape, +,
Ell?
WILL JACKSON, who came from
Iowa last Monday 20 spend the
holidays with his folks, visited the
wooden mills on Tuesday and by
accident fell down the elevator
shaft sustaining painful injury
by breaking the small bone and
dislocating the wrist joint of his
left arm.
On the night of Christmas eve,
when Santa Claus was scampering
o'er the housetops, the Edmund
creamery was burned to the ground.
Scarcely anything was saved, and
400 pounds of butter creased the
flames. 1t is not supposed for a
minute that Santa Claus had any
thing to do with it.
MONDAY evening next that annual
tea meeting for which the p. M.
church ladies are so widely noted f,
will be held in the new lecture hall
of the church. Tables ready at
O'Clock; admission to tables, 25cts.
Platform meeting afterwards, when
addresses will be given by Revs.
Chase and Straw and others.
Two hundred and fifty chairs
have been placed in the lecture hail
of the new p. Nj. church and all
have been occupied since the open
ing. Everyone is delighted with
the hall. The electric light was all
that could be desired. Mr.. We'll
and his assistants did a fine piece
of work in putting in the lights.
DoCToRs say that by going mp
stairs slowly, with the foot--heel
and toe alike-frmly on each stair,
one may arrive at the top of four
flights of stairs really rested, instead
of gasping for breath as when one
runs up stairs. Going up stairs is a
good form of exercise, if one goes
up in the right way to get its
benefits.
WHILE Frank Cane was in the
act of coupling cars at Brodhead
last Monday evening the two front
fingers of his left hand were caught
between the bumpers and smashed
so badly that it was necessary to
amputate them above the second
joint. He has passed through the
ordeal bravely, but some time will
intervene before he resumes his
position.
AT 1890 last Sunday morning
when Rev. S. r. Chubb commenced
the service in the new lecture hall
of the church he looked upon a
host of friends who had come to
take part in the first Sabbath SER
vice in the building. Many were
the congratulations he received on
the fine room built, and in which
he will preach for some months to
come. The entire church will be
dedicated about May lst 1898.
THR 25th anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Blewelt was celebrated at their
home on onday evening Of this
week. A goodly number Of rela-
tives and friends were present,
among whom from abroad were the

Oskaloosa, Ia, and Mrs. Philip
Eden Of Pasadena, Cal. The eve
ming was enliyened with good
music by Miss Amy HutchisoQ and
others, after which the company
