AFTER spending about half of the
fund available for street improve
ments, the council intimates that fut,
ure work will be restricted to re.
pairs necessary to put our streets in
such condition that they may be
travelled without actual danger to
life and limb. Alderman Prideaux
not agreeing with this policy, re-
signed as a member Of the street
committee, after few appropriate
remarks"
The Galena Gazette representa-
tive, who attended the fair in this
city, furnishes that paper with a
very good report. He has attended
most of the fairs in this section Of
the state this year, and says OF that
in Mineral Point, "its exhibit was
the largest and best seen thus far
this season by the writer" He
specially compliments the playing
Of the Mineral Point band, and Ader
Appel's display Of mineral speci-
mems.
THERE was not the interest take n
in the literary contest on the fair
grounds that it merited. Four
young ladies competed, giving reci-
tations as follows: Miss Florence
kirkpatrick, "The Boat Race Miss
Edna Schelenger, "Balaklaya;" Miss
Bessie Stephenson, "The Execution
of Montrose;" Miss Prudence Ben
son, "Noble Christian Womanhood."
Each young lady showed many evil
dences of fine oratory, but Miss
Schellenger led by few points and
won the prize.
Rev. +. w. STRAW, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected and earnestly hoped,
will be returned as pastor Of the M.
e. church in this city by the confer
ence now in session. He has done
good service here. The church mem.
bership has been largely increased,
his congregations have been uni
formly large, and the church work
generally under his pastorate has
been progressive. The community
will unite with his immediate flock
to welcome him back.
AN EM1GRANT wagon attached to
a team Of broncos, could be seen
last Sunday steering its way up to
the Wisconsin river. Peeping with
in It's covers we observed the famil-
lars faces Of Ben Jacka, Walt.
Hoare, Chas. Ralph, (alias Dillon),
Paul Springer and Fred Motley,
who, from all appearances. were off
for a week of pleasure in the yicini-
ty of the famous "wild rushing riy-
err" and we will bet dollars TO
doughnuts their anticipations will
be fully realized.
