THE burning of Mrs, Briggs
house at Dodgeville emphasizes
what has been urged by some Of
the people there for some time--the
necessity of some provision for a
water supply. The fire company
and apparatus were promptly on
hand, but for want of water, says
the Sun, the building which should
have been saved, was wrecked.

be pleased to learn that she is slowly
recovering from the disability caused
by an injury to the knee, received

HENRY SLEEP, of this city, an
employe Of the Zinc Co., some time
ago sustained an injury to his left
eye which resulted in detachment of
the retina and dislocation of the
lense. The lense in ITS abnormal
position becoming cataractous, and
acting as foreign body, caused suf
ticient Inflammation to endanger the
sight of the sound eye, necessitating
an operation, the opening of the
eye ball and extraction of the lense,
which was performed last Monday.

Mrs. john GELLNG died at her
home in Benton very suddenly last
Sunday morning. Apoplexy was
probably the cause. The evening
before death she complained Of
dizziness and a pain in the back of
her head, but was otherwise well as
usual when she retired Saturday
night. She woke her husband about
5 O'Clock Sunday morning saying
she was not well. A doctor was at
once called, but she quietly passed
away within half an hour. She
was women of 81 years, much
esteemed throughout Lafayette and
parts Of Iowa county.
