Mr.. Mcmillan began life humbly, and
the great fortune that is now his has all
been gathered by the most diligent effort.
Most of his money has been made in the
manufacture of railway cars and steam
vessels for the lake trade. He is one of
the most charitable men in public life,
and gives away great amounts each year.

Geo. Zollinger's House Burned.

We are sorry to learn that our
friend George Zollinger, of Wald-
wick, lost his house by accidental
fire last Friday afternoon Most OF
the furniture, which was new and
good, having been in use only since
his marriage about two years ago,
was also consumed. Mrs. Xollinger
who is daughter Of MIR. Geo.
Kuehnhenn, Of this city, had not
been able to leave her room since
the birth Of her baby two weeks be-
fore, she was gotten out with the little
one and conveyed to n neigbor's
and happily suffered no serious set
back. The recent burning OF the
house of N. G. b. zollinger, father OF
George, and the severe injury of his
sister in the runaway ut Dodgeville,
make the year of 1895 n fateful one
To the Zollinger family.

Lost Laurels Regained.

Our football boys, by defeating
Darlington II to 0 last Saturday, re-
gained all confidence in their abili-
ties to protect the pigsSin ever en-
tertained by the citizens Of this place.
Darlington's team is the best that
city has ever had--strong, active and
well versed on the fine points Of the
game. In weight there was very
little difference between the teams /;
the scales would have to decide.
The home team won, ii is believed,
by superior alertness and the better
formation Of interference lines.
To commence the game Mineral
Point kicked of and held the Wis
itors on their own territory until they
secured the bali on downs, when in
short order it was carried over the
line by Harris for a touchdown. The
remainder of the first half of the
game was hard struggle, the local
team displaying slight superiority,
but no points were made. In the
second half the home team secured
another touchdown by means Of the
same sharp, aggressive playing as
it displayed in the first, and when
time was called the general verdict
was that it was the best game ever
witnessed in this city.
Darlington came upon the field
confident of victory, and in conse-
quenee defeat struck so much the
harder. One of the visiting players,
Driver, had the muscles or the ten
dons Of leg painfully strained in
a scrimmage during the second half,
and substitute was called in. This
was the only accident. Should the
charge of slugging be made against
our boys, and the understanding is
that 1t will, don't regard their OPP
ponents as lambs. They held their
own in that respect.

LAST Saturday evening boys of l6
to Is years old were again to be seen
on Mineral Point streets in state
of intoXication. Learning that his
boy was one of these, Mr.. John l..
Jackson instituted inquiry as to where
the liquor was obtained, and on Tues
day swore out a complaint before
Municipal Judge Reynolds against
the saloon of LaMalle & Crist. At
the time the TRIBUNE goes to press
the case is awaiting the coming Of
the district attorney to conduct the
prosecution. Expressing no opinion
as to the guilt or innocence Of the ac-
acc used, we here take occasion to
repeat the strong condemnation here
tofore expressed in these columns,
Of whoever furnishes the liquor
to make drunk such boys as those in-
volved in the pending case. Reports
are too many and circumstantial of
boys having liquor and imbibing
freely, to sustain belief that all the
mischief is done in one saloon.

Southwestern Wisconsin Fair.

All the members of the committee
appointed at the recent annual meet
ing of the Southwestern Wisconsin
Industrial Association, were present
at a meeting in the secretary's office
last Saturday, and after considering
various questions and points raised,
agreed upon the following
Plan for reorganization of the
Southwestern Wisconsin Industrial
Association as corporation:
First. The capital stock of the cor
poration shall he $1,000.
Second. The property Of the asso-
citation shall be purchased for $1,000,
subject to its Indebtedness.
Third. The shares Of stock Of the
corporation shall be $40 each, and
shall be worcestershire.
Fourth. Each present member of
the old association shall he entitled
to one full paid share of stock, with
out further payment.
Fifth. Each person owning share
of stock shall be a member of the
new association.
We, the undersigned, each hereby
agree, in consideration of the sub
seription of each of the other parties
subscribing hereto, to subscribe for
the number of shares of the capital
stock of the Southwestern Wiscon-
sin Fair. Ga corporation to be here
after organizedl, set opposite our re-
spective names, and to pay for the
same at the rate of ten dollars per
share on or before February lst, 1896.
Members of the committee were
directed to canvas among the people
of Mineral Point and vicinity for
subscriptions to the capital stock Of
the corporation proposed. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that sufficient stock
will be subscribed before the adjourned
session Of the annual meeting is held,
Nov. Goth, to provide for all present
Indebtedness, and that incorporation
will Immediately thereafter be COM
pleted. Present members of the old
association, who will start in as
owners of $1,000 of the new corpor-
alton, very generally signify dispo-
SlllOh w AohN diNlhipllti SAOShf dIi
it seems quite likely that their sub
scription will average one additional
share to each member. Although no
canvassing has been done, the COM
mittee is advised Of several who sig
Nifty desire to take stock who are
not members Of the present associ-
alton, and such parties are not con-
fined to the limits Of this city.
IT is probably not necessary to
point out the Importance to every
business man and property owner in
Mineral Point, of not only continuing
fairs in this city, but of making them
better in the future than in the
past After much discussion, the
plan here proposed is settled upon
as the best for the attainment of that
object, and there should be no diff
Guilty in carrying it out. The COM
mittee will not begin canvassing for
a few days, but in the meantime
subscription lists will be open at the
secretary's office, at the postofiice, at
the two banks and the stores Of Gun
dry q Gray and Brewer Il Penhalle-
gon, where people are invited to call
and sign.

Death in a Mine at Linden.

James Roberts, about y years, was
killed in what is known as the Rob-
erts mine at Linden, last Friday af-
ternoon. AS he was alone in the
part Of the mine where the accident
happened, the manner and circum-
stances of his death can only be con-
jectured. He was found dead at the
bottom of the shaft, 80 feet deep,
leading from the upper to the lower
level. On the upper level, where he
had been at work, blast had been
fired. and it is supposed that in GO
ing from one part of the level, to
which he had retired for safety when
the blast was fired, back to his place
of work, he must have walked into
the mouth Of the lower shaft, which
he would need to pass in his sup
posed course. The position ~ the
body when discovered, and the fatal
injuries being to the head and neck,
indicate that he fell head foremost
Deceased was esteemed as an in
dustrious, exemplary citizen, whose
sudden taking off is deeply regretted
throughout the community. He
leaves wife and two small child

The funeral, on Sunday, was largely
attended, and conducted with the
