Band in Mourning.

Every member of the Mineral Point
band is a mourner, because of the
untimely death of VIM. J. Spensley
of New Diggings, who died at the
home of his father in that village on
Sept S0th., at the age of 10 yrs. and II
months. Last April young Spensley
came to Mineral Point to study music
with Prof. Anderson, and at once
joined the band. Most Of the sum-
mer he spent here, making many
friends and being valuable acquisi-
tion to the band. He played with
the organization on all public oc-
casions, including the recent falr.
About a week later he complained of
not being well and went to his home.
His condition was not considered
dangerous until few days before
his death, the unexpected announce
ment of which was a shock to his
friends here. He was a young man of
irreproachable character, and his
early demise blasts the prospects of
an honorable and useful life. Since
above was prepared the following
tribute is furnished:
AS members of the Mineral Point
Band we desire to express our deep
sorrow at the loss of our esteemed
band member, William j. Spensley.
The news Of his death came to us
as a shock. He went from our midst
September 22d apparently in good
health, and on September Both he
was called from this earth to his
eternal rest. AS a member of the
band he soon proved himself to be
worthy accession and entitled to the
confidence and respect of all with
who he came in contact. As music
ian he had already attained a degree
OF proficiency rarely found in one so
young, and was rapidly paving the
way to fame when, in the very vigor
of his youth, life became extinct.
His manly virtues, his noble char
acter and integrity of purpose Were
conspicuous attributes of his exis-
tence. In his daily walk in life he
never finched from what he believed
to be his duty. We deeply sympa-
thize in the deep sorrow Of the rela-
tives who are left to mourn the loss
of this noble youth.

SOME persons are circulating re-
port that the republican candidate
for sheriff has heretofore acted with
the prohibition party. This is mis-
take. but probably arises from a con-
fusion of names. Our candidate Is
John b. Wallis, of the torn OF Miner
al Point, and has always been an ac-
tive and faithful member Of the re-
publican party. The originator of
the report no doubt thought it was
John R. Wallis, Of Mineral Point
city, who has been nm active prohi-
bitionist. Ii you hear any more cf
this report just tell the reporter
that he is Observation-Disclosures
Chronicle.
1t is probably not necessary to cor
rect any such statement as the above
in the southern part of the county,
where the republican candidate Is
known to be staunch, answering
republican from the time he cast his
first vote. Nom in the county has
more faithfully and unflinchingly
upheld his party banner through de-
feat and success than John b. Wallis.
The characteristic that has made him
a devotee to party principle assures
his being found u conscientious pub
lie official, reliable and trasty for any
official duty.

AMONG all the nominees for the
county offices Of Iowa county, on all
the tickets, there is but one who
served his country as soldier during
the great rebellion war. This is no.
ticable as an evidence that the war
is ancient history to the generation at
present controlling the affairs Of the
country. Ex-soldiers are but very
few in the aggregate of voters to-day.
and the time is not distant when a
war veteran on any ticket will be a
phenomenon, whereas but recently a
ticket on which the soldier element
was not literally represented was a
rarity. Capt. d. 9. Jones, candidate
for county clerk on the republican
ticket, is the sole soldier presented
for the sufrerages Of Iowa county
people at this time. Being proved
competent as an official, and worthy
as man, he is entitled to special
consideration for the service he has
done his country, and the wounds he
bears, which in few years will put
him and all his comrades where the
only claim they will have upon the
public will be grateful memory.

Foot Ball Season Opened.

With the commencement of the
School year, interest in the sturdy
game of foot ball is revived with in
creased zest on the part of our young
people. Several teams are organized
in this city, and practice on the
public square is the daily program
after school closes. Two teams,
known as the City and High School
Second Elevens, promise to attain
unusual efficiency. The first test
game of the season came off at
Dodgeville last Saturday, between
the Second Elevens of the two High
Schools. The first half of the game
resulted in no score, but with Mini
PIT. only a few yards from Dod'yll's
goal. The second half was being
vigorously contested, with advan-
tage to our boys, when the Dodge
vile team revolted against ruling
of the umpire and refused to play
further; the game was given to
Mineral Point under the rules.
The same teames will contest on
the fair grounds in this city next
Saturday morning. In the afternoon
the first eleven of this city, and a
Darlington team are matched for a
game on the same grounds, making
it foot ball tournament. An adj
mission fee will be charged, and it is
hoped that our citizens will generally
attend to put something in the
funds of the teams to meet necessary
expenses.

THE trial of John Nichols and Jas.
Chesterfield concluded at Dodgeville
before the circuit court last Saturday
evening, with their conviction Of
breaking into Thomas Collins ware
house and stealing beer therefrom
last summer. Monday they we're
each sentenced BY Judge Clement
son to one year in the state prison.
Having no attorney, the court ap-
pointed J. M. smith to defend the
accused, and he did 1t so well that
they got only the lightest sentence
provided by law for the crime Of
which they were convicted.

Wagner kicked the ball Wagner was
on foul territory when he made the
kick.
The home club fought desperately Tor
the game. In the first inning wagner
was passed to first, went to second on
Violet's sacrifice, and scored on Gala
gher's double in deep center, which
Schrader's misjudged. In the fifth Baker
led off with single. Wagner drew
base on balls. Violet doubled to center
field. Baker scored. Gallagher famed.
Rickert hit to Corcoran, and wagner
started home, but was thrown out at
the plate. Whaley doubled in left field,
and Violet and Rickert crossed the
plate. In the seventh inning, Wagner
walked to first, and after Violet had
been retired in an effort to sacrifice,
Gallagher lifted the ball into the air.
II went out to the deep right Held renee.
Then came a decision which provoked
quite discussion. 1t was claimed that
the ball hit the fence, and was caught
on the bound by Coughlin. lie was
quick play, and Coughlin fielded the
ball in quickly, but Daniels decided that
Gallagher was out, and Wagner, VINO
had reached third, was retired at hrst.

BASE DAHL Mules.
Hard luck. e?
Nowgetatemboys.
The Wheeling and Jackson clubs will
leave this morning for Jackson where
the home club begins its western trip.
Wheeling will play good ball away
from home.
There is some question as to Daniels
decision on Gallagher's long fly in the
seventh. Several persons on the
bleachers claim to have heard it silk
ing the fence, but boy who sat on the
fence says the fielder caught it fairly.
If safe, it would probably have won the
game for Wheeling.
Wheeling put up an errorless game in
the field yesterday. Gallagher misjudg-
ed fly in the second inning, and got
only one hand on the ball. If he had
held it, at least ors score would have,
been taken from the Jaxcns. 1t was
plainly an error of judgment, and Gal
lagher probably deserved an error, but
it could not be charged in accordance
with the scoring rules.
The National League psnnant race is
the prettiest on record.
Hats off to New Castle. More power
to Farmer Brown.
Wheeling has been unfortunate in
missing good players. Daniels ard
No!hwang, both of whom were released
was winning battery against Fort
Wayne, and Farmer Brown, New Cas-
ties crack, defeated the Indiana club
yesterday. The home club could have
secured Brown before the opening Of
the season.
Farmer" Brown must take rank
among the Interstate crack twirlers He
has lost but one game in ten, and that
should have been victory. 1t was the
first game against Fort Wayne, when
two fielding errors lost the game for
New Castle.

has not paid cent of assessment, and
from his actions, apparently, did not
intend to. This led President Power to
do a little hustling. He went to New
Castle and secured part of the money
that was due the league, and on Thurs
day received the balance from Manager
Black at Washington.
President Power took the franchise
away from Rasch and turned it over to
Manager Black to run for the league,
for few days. Yesterday the hustling
President secured word from Saginaw
that stock company will be organized
at once to take the franchise. This is
pleasant news. With Manager Black
running the club and with good backing
he will make a winner of the team.
Saginaw will play two games at Toledo
Sunday, and will return home Monday
for long stretch of games.-Pittsburg
