Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1895-01-10

Catholic church, by Father Haber-
kahn, Mr.. John Cornelius, of Dar-
lington, and Miss Lizzie study, of
Mineral Point, at I a. m. Bride
groom Casper Eberhardt, Jr., brides
maid Miss Carrie Hebenstreit, both
of Platteville,
Mr.. JAMES SPENsLEY being un-
able to attend the special meeting of
the county board, it became the duty
of supervisor John Jackson to repre-
sent the town of Mineral Point in the
county legislature. 1t is needless to
say the town and county were well
served by the substitute.
THE Wisconsin Legislature organ
lied yesterday, electing Geo. b.
Burrows speaker, w. l.. Hanser, of
Mondovi, and Win Novel;, of Mil
wakuee, chief clerks of the senate
and assembly, respectively. Mr..
Jones decided not to allow his name
to go before the republican caucus
as candidate for speaker.
Mrs. L. DAGGETT, of Platteville, re-
ceived a telegram Wednesday that
her son Thomas, who resides in Idaho,
had been fatally injured by an acci-
dent. The young man, who has since
died, was a cousin of Mrs. w. g..
Hales, of Mineral Point, and the
fourth young man of the same fam
lily to die within six months.
1t is now quite plain that at all re-
ceptions, where refreshments are
served, in laying plates for num-
Der of ladies at table, allowance
should be made for the pulled sleeves
worn. Three Of our best girls of to-
day will take up as much room at a
table as five of our mothers did when
there was seen more arm and less
sleeve.--EG.
A NUMBER of young men sit on
the county board and among them
the veteran Hon. A. Campbell, of Brig
ham, is a Nestor. Few men of Iowa
county have done more or better SER
vice than Mr.. Campbell. He is recog-
nized authority on all county matters,
and following his lead the young
members are sure to do nothing they
will be ashamed Of.
IT is generally known that the hap
piest, healthiest and most coptented
people are those who laugh, and to
those people and the public in gen.
eral we commend them to McCabe's
Mastodon Minstrels Of twenty color
ed artists, who will appear at the
City Hall on Jan. 18th. Remember
the date. Watch for the big street
parade. Secure seats at usual places.
Tickets 25, 35 and 80 cents.
To ATTEND a session of the county
board is a pleasure, in that one meets
there representative men from all
parts Of the county, and often is priv
ileged to greet valued old friends.
This was the experience of ye editor
on Monday, and among those hailed
with special satisfaction was Hon.
Francis Baker, a pioneer farmer Of
Linden town, now residing in Dodge
vile, and always ii supporter of the
TRIBUNE.
WHEREVER a Mineral Point man
travels, he Is sure to meet people who
inquire for residents here, and the
name of DR.. J. H. Vivian is among
those mentioned. OF late ii has been
our regret to respond that the Doctor
is indisposed, in fact ''quite under the
weather. He was conspicuously alb
sent at the Grand Army Campfire
through inability to attend, which
was sorrowfully noticed by all of his
comrades and many more.
MONDAY was an important day at
Dodgeville. New county officers
were sworn in, and entered upon
their duties. Old officers rendered
their accounts Of stewardship, and
retired. The county board in special
session, examined the accounts of the
out going officers, found them all
correct; and pronounced the eulo-
GUM, ''well done good and faithful
servants" A report of the full pro-
ceedings of this session of the board
will appear in the TRIBUNE next
week.
IF readers Of the TRIBUNE wish
to have a complete record Of local
events and one of the most interest
ing books that can be had anywhere
let them take blank book and each
week clip from their paper all the
items Of interest and paste them in
under the date of the issue, and at
the end Of the year they would be
surprised at the amount of local his
tory they had in one scrap book.
Cut out all the church notices, we'd
dings, births, deaths, personals and
improvements and all such items that
are interesting, and in d few years
