A GOOD magazine is monthly Joy
in any family. We are prepared to

vance. Call this office and examine
the magazine, In illustration, liter
airy worth and typographical excel

The report that Gen, Amasa Cobb
had been elected to congress from
the Lincoln district, Nebraska, and
that his election was to be contested,
proves to be pure fabrication. The
TRIBUNE copied the substance from
a dispatch found in one of the city
papers. Direct information is that
General Cobb was not even candi-
date for election to congress or any
other position.
SECRETARY VEIL is asking, by
circular, the members Of the South

will promptly answer "aye." Unless
such answer comes from at least two
hundred, some other means Of meet
ing the needs of the association must
be devised ut once.

by her husband, she came to Mineral
Point, enroute for the east on we'd
ding tour, and remained over Sun
day the guest Of her former assoc

WHILE there is considerable ac-
tivity i'll the mining industry about
Mineral Point, there are but few Dig
gings paying dividends. The prod
act at present prices is too small to
yield even fair wages to the laborer.
If ores could be sold at the prices
prevailing in 1892 fair returns would
be realized from some properties
that now do not pay for working, and
those that now yield only scant
wages to miners would be returning
