/ bas been p!eHgeu 20 make the sol
diers' reunion success, so we are
informed. But interest therein and
activity on the part of all citizens
are essentials equally necessary.
Those of our citizens owning
horses, mules and cattle should not
forget that the ordinance forbidding
the running of the same at large is
still in full force, and that the law
will be carried out to the letter.
ENoUGH members Of the Y. p. S.
c. E., of the p. NJ. church of this
city, to fill two buses Nd several
single seated rigs, went out to Lost
Grove Wednesday evening of this
week for the purpose or organizing
a like society there.
The p. M. church choir will give
a dime entertainment in the lecture
room on the evening of May 18th.
The exercises will be musical aud
literary and spelling match under
the directorship of Professor Buell..
Everybody is invited and a very
good time is assured.
HAVE you stopped to consider
that the personal meanness prac-
ticed by some men who profess
religion is really no reflection upon
the church? That were it not for
the restraining influences of the
religion they have, even the Lord
himself might be puzzled to guess
how mean they would be?
MISS KATE McILHoN has been
appointed matron of the Wisconsin
building at the Worlds Fair, and
Miss Sallie Hadfeld to a position in
the same building, but just what her
duties are have not been learned.

ity bestowed, and Mineral Point
has thereby been honored.

BILE, Iowa, while visiting friends
here, took a run down to Monroe

Mr.. Penhallegon could not be
suited any better if he had the
carriage made to order, and best of

That every person not exempt by
law should pay a poll tax, and be
forced if necessary, the TRIBUNE
firmly advocates, but where SO many
escape year after year and indulge
in riiiculing those who do pay, the
latter class could not be seriously
censured were they to take a stand
against making further payments of
this kind until the law was properly
enforced.
II is claimed that the richest and
most extensive deposits of zinc ore
thus far known are found in Marion
county, Arkansas. Some of this ore
was shipped to Mineral Point and
tested in the zinc works here, and
it is understood that the test sus-
tains the claim. 7'he Arkansas
delegation in congress will probably
be found decidedly in favor Of
tariff for revenue on zine.
The Isaac Stephenson farm at
Truesdell, Keuosha county, of which
p. G. Torey is superintendent, beats

Out of 400 lambs only nine have
