DAISY DEANS GRAMMAR
Knocked Little Willie Silly as
Sledge Hammer Blow.

Oh! it takes away the glamor
when a girl is "shy" on grammar
and you hate to hear her warble,
for it makes you sad and sore.
When a lady says she "dassent,"
that's convincing proof she hasn't
primed her noddle with the Ian
guage that the SaXons spoke of
yore.
When a lady says she doesn't
"really want no beer,' and mustn't t
drink the essence of the malt or
daily with the mantling foam, it
is certain that she budded into
life before she studied Mr.. Har-
vey's rules of English in her little
cabin home.
Oh. it plains a gent severely
when a maiden speaks so quecrly,
and he wishes that a mountain on
his heaving breast would fall.
Since he cannot well correct her,
he must wish her dead as Hector
if he has a fit conception of his
native tongue at all.
At party Willie Haley wore
the make up Of Sevengal'ey, with
his Paderewski lilaCs and his
whiskcrs black as jet. Daisy
Dean was decked as Trilby, as she
is or was or will be, when she
talked with Little Willie and in.

Boy Crushed to Death.


Herbert Luke, aged about Ii years,
son of Mrs. Carrie Luke, an esteemed
widow resident of this city, was
killed in the elevator Mt the Mineral
Point Wooden Mills Thursday after
noon, the 9th inst. The boy had car,
ried dinner to Mr.. sherman, engineer
at the mill, who is boarder of Mrs.
Luke. After eating his dinner, Mr..
sherman told the boy he had better
return home, not wanting him to re-
main about the mill, and he went out
of the building through the engine
room door. but he must have re-
entered by some other way, as he
was seen in and about other parts of
the building during the afternoon.
Discovery of the accident, about 3
O'Clock, came through the slipping
of belt and the interruption of oper-
ating machinery, which led one of
the employees on the third floor to
open the door Of the elevator shaft.
There the boy was found, held be-
tween the elevator platform and the
top of the door casing in the shaft.
He was taken out at once. His pulse
were felt to throb u few times and
then ceased forever. Death must have
been almost instantaneous, as the
interruption of operating machinery
occasioned by the clogging of the
elevator was but a moment before
the shaft door was opened.
The theory of the mill men is that
the boy must have got into the Gle
vator on one of the lowe floors and
pulled the rope that operated it.
That finding himself being carried
to the top of the shaft he attempted
to open the door at the third floor,
and failing, was caught between the
moving elevator platform and the
door sill. as described. Some Of his
ribs We're broken, and the body fiat
tened considerably, but there was no
mutillation.
The accident is a terrible blow to
the widowed mother with whom
every parent heart beats in panied
sympathy.
The family gratefully acknowledge
the kindness Of many friends in this
great sorrow.

Uriah James is Dead.

A dispatch from Hollandale an
nounces that Uriah James died at
his home there Wednesday morning,
the 18th inst, about o'clock. This
sad news is the more startling be-
causek recent information indicated
that Mr.. James was recovering from
the illness reported in the TRIBUNE
last week, and would probably soon
be web. G. M. Cox, Noble Grand OF
Iowa Lodge !. OK f., and acommit-
tee Of members. visited their brother
James only few days ago, and re-
ported him as conyalescing. They
learned that there was no foundation
for the rumor that financial Difficult
ties unsettled his mind. The cause Of
his illness was wholly physical. It
is now clearly recognized as a stroke
of paralysis.
Mr.. James had a large circle of
warm friends, won by a genial, gem
erous nature, high integrity and frank
truthfulness. He abhorred shams
was a man of strong convictions, and
courage to defend them against any
odds. No favor swayed him and
no fear could awe
The bereaved widow and children
have the comfort Of knowing that
the many who knew their noble hus-
band and father also loved him, and
are nfourners with them.

INSTRUCTED FOR MCKINLEY
And to Support ]. w. Rewey for Dele
gate to St. Louis.
Thus did the Republican County Convention.

Thus did the Republican County Convention.
Although the snow fell as rarely
before this winter, and travelling was
very disagreeable, the republican
county convention at Dodgeville on
Tuesday was a large and enthusiastic
one. Every town in the county was
fully represented except Clyde and
Pulaski. The sentiment was unani-
nous for Mckinley, and the only
question was who should have the
honor of expressing that sentiment
in the congressional district and state
conventions.
Hon. J. w. Rewey was called to
preside, and DR.. w. ]. Pierce, Of
Dodgeville, elected secretary.
VIM. A. Jones, Geo. r. Whitman
and A. Campbell were appointed
a committee on credentials, and re-
ported 93 delegates present.
Balloting then began for delegates
to the state convention. p. Allen Jr.
was elected on the first ballot. Two
other ballots were taken without
choice, and the convention changed
the order to election by acclamation,
resulting in the choice of A. j.. Jones,
w. j. Pierce, n. L. Martin, j. w.
Taylor, Albert Thomas, w. A. Me-
Cutchen, Q. T.. Underwood and Al
fred Cretney
The same expeditions method was
employed in selecting delegates to
the congressional district conven-
tion, and the following were voted in:
j. w. Rewey, T. M. Grimstedt, II. ID.
Davis, j. G. Evans. III. G. Foltz, J. II.
Vivian, l.. w. Pollard, w. ii. Bennett
and ID. j. McHatton.
On motion of j. w. Taylor, the
delegates to the congressional dis
trict convention We're instructed to
support Hon. J. w. Rewey for dele
gate to the national convention, and
use all honorable means to secure
his election.
A resolution by i. Allen Jr., de-
claring VIM. Mckinley to be the
choice of the convention for presi-
dent, and instructing all the delegates
elected by this county convention to
support none but known and reliable
Mckinley men for delegates to the
national convention, was adopted by
a unanimous rising vote, and with
enthusiastic cheers.
J. T. Pryor urged the election of a
new chairman for the county COM
mittee at this time as essential to
party organization. Notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Pryors appeal to be excused
from further service, lie was on
motion of ~. Taylor reelected for
new term of two years, with no
voice being heard in dissent save his
own. DIR. W. j. Pierce was named
as secretary and Phil. Allen Jr. as
treasurer of the committee, and one
member for each city and town Of
the county. With duty thus well
done, the convention adjourned.

CAUSED A PUPILS DEATH.
Principal Jeardeau, Of Rewey, Arrested

Under a flaming head, including
the above startling words, the Mill
waukee Sentinel of Tuesday had the
following, as dispatch, dated Dodge
vile, March 9th:
PAUL JEARDEAU, principal Of the
Rewey school, is under arrest upon
the charge Of causing the death Of
Frederick Tedie, one of his pupils,
whom he had occasion to punish for
misconduct. About six weeks ago
the school teacher, who is about %
year old, shook young Tedie vio-
lently. 1t appears that JeaI deau lost
his temper over some wrongdging of
hIs pupil and shook the boy with SO
much force as to cause internal in-
iuries. The boy was taken home
and has since been confined to his
bed. He died yesterday, and his
father. who is a well-to-do farmer, is
greatly incensed at Jeardeau by the
loss of his son. There is good deal
of excitement in that neighborhood.
and it is probable that Jeardeau will
be yigorously prosecuted.
Jeardeau's home il ut Platteville,
where his parents are old settlers.
He is a brother OF state Labor Ar
bitrator Jeardeau, who lives at Hill
bert junction, and is IA conductor on
the Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul
railway. His sister Is a teacher in
the Milwaukee schools.
This highly important and shock
ing item OF news, is found TO be in
correct in some minor repects. First
| the boy made no complaint Of the
punishment and was not taken sick
luntil two or three weeks after il oc-
Cured; second, there l. no evidence
Of injuries. internal or external /;
third, the teacher has not been ar
rested; fourth, there IS no probabil-
| ity of prosecution; fifth, tile boy +
not dead. and il recovering from his
sickness. With these slight changes
tie story II about correct. some
body las imposed on the Sentinel.
! The regular correspondent Of the
paper at Dodgeyille denies all kuowl-
edge of the dispatch.
