departmental matters. Its main feat

Iowa County Jared well in the
matter of appointments under the
Peck administration. We had Thos.
Kennedy state treasury agent, n
place worth $1,000 per year; Frank
Nj. Dyer, deputy commissioner OF
statistics, salary $500, and Miss
Priestley, clerk in Adiutant Gcner-
ais office, Nhore Is rs yet no sign
that Iowa county will get anything
under the incoming republican adj
ministration
Nix. WM. HAMMILI furnishes us
copy ofthe Boulder, Montana, Senti-
mel. II gives the election returns of
Jefferson county, showing the total
vote to be less than 1900, which Mr..
Hammill informs MS il not one half
the vote polled IN the county four
years ago. The difference being ac-
counted for Ivy the emigration ~
miners, thousands of whom were
thrown out Of employment aud com
PEELED to leave by the shutting down
OF mines, which cannot be proflta-
bly, operated at the preent price for
silver-63lae per pound.
PAPERS in the west do not employ
diplomatic terms In treating with
delinquent patrons. IF the TRIBUNE
We're to tell the truth about subscrib-.
ers, and portray its conditions and
needs as the Boulder, Montana, SEN
tlnel does, wouldn't II stir the mon
keys up? The sentinel says:
a subscriber writes us that he Is
mad because we don't get outas good
a paper ms they do IN the cities. Con-
found such man How eau he ex-
pect us to get out paper good
enough for him, when his neighbors
all complain that he owes them, and
they al owe rs. Here we are with
hundreds Of dollars on our books,
thifty-five miles from the state capi-
tai, thousands OF miles from heaven,
two feet from the devil, about 300
yards from whisky shop, and tho
democratic party knocked sky high.
Pay up your last years subscription,
one year In advance, which yon
ought to do, and the Sentinel will
please everybody.
UNFAvoRABLE weather cannot dis
courage a woman when she has set
about n worthy purpose. This was
demonstrated In the success Of the
Thanksgiving bazaar and festival Of
the M. II. church ladies'. II was one
Of the most satisfactory in rs results
since the organization Of the Aid So
ciety. They found ready sale f0f all
their wares, and wcrekept busy until
they were "ready to drop serving
guests at their bounteous tables. The
receipts exceeded most sanguine ex-
pectations. After expenses were
paid, they found themselves with
Sll2 cash III hand, and several bas-
kets full Of provisions for distribu-
tlon among the poor.
+. w. BISHOP came down from Vol
ga, $. d.. 10 spend Thanksgi ling at
bis boyhood home, Mineral Point.
Very recklessly he rode about town
Thursday morning with his brother
All gathering up supplies for the
Methodist festival For newspaper
man IL was a trying experience, and
resulted In Toms being taken sick
that evening, 50 that hewas confined
to his brothers home during most OF
biz stay In the city, which was until
Monday Whether he sampled the
good things In the baskets collected
for the festival too freely, was over
come by the tempting odor thereof,
or took cold from the great change
Of temperature between the balmy
cline 81 Dakota and the arctic fri
gidity " southern Wisconsin, the
doctor could not determine.
