The Star Party.

Being in charge of the ladies, who
never fail in such matters, the in
stallation services and party OF MINI
eral Point Chapter No. Z, o. T.. S., on
Monday evening, was a rarely en-
joyable entertainment and social
event. The beautiful installation
service was rendered by the ladies
with grace and precision that
coarser man fails to reach in the
performance of similar duties. Miss
Annie Phillips, AS installing officer,
and Mrs. A. q. Deller, acting grand
marshall, were conspicuously efii-
cient in those roles. From first to last
of the lengthy ceremony each of
these ladies was perfect in her part,
making every movement rythm.
AS variations in the service, vocal
solos by Miss JaclSa and Mr.. Walker,
and Instrumental solos and duet
by Messrs. Dresen and Wallis on the
cornet and clarinet were highly
pleasing. Miss Phillips, the retiring
matron, on surrending to her sue
cessor, made an address that aspir-
ants to oratorical fame might study
with profit. 1t was a gem of excel
lent thought, in fitting words admir-
ably expressed. The banquet lasted
until after midnight and dancing
continued until some hours later.
The gracious and courteous hostesses
made every guest to feel their hos
pitality. From oldest to youngest
all were as one in spirit of friendly
intercourse, and realized the gem
uineuess of the Masonic motto, 1--WE
meet upon level and we part upon
the square,

Death of James Argall.

On Sunday morning last, while en-
gagged in dressing himself, Mr.. James
Argall was stricken with paralysis,
from which lie never regained con-
seriousness, and which terminated in
his death Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Argall passed his S3d birthday
Nov. LIST, 1895. He was a native Of
England, and emigrated to America
in 1913. The first three years in this
country he spent In Pennsylvania,
coming to Mineral Point In 1851, and
here has been his home constantly
from that date. He was twice mar
ried; first to Miss Rachel james, who
lived but few years, and the second
time, nearly 80 years ago, to Miss
Ellery. who survives him. From the
first union there were two children
Mrs. Samuel Jacka and Mr.. james

Does Not Affect Wisconsin.

The Milwaukee Sentinel OF Jan.
Sth, publishes an interview with
Hon. w. A. Jones, of this city, in
which he Is reported as saying: "The
Missouri deal applies to spelter zine
manufacturers exclusively, while we
manufacture zinc oxide only. Neither
does II affect the ore required for our
works, which is calamine, commonly
known as drybone, while spelter, or
sheet zinc, is manufactured from the
ore known as blende, or blackjack.
Although both are zine ores, they
are widely dissimilar III character.
Entirely different processes are en-
ployed In their reduction. Their
products are not at all alike In sub
stance or uses, and the price of one
has but slight relation to the other.
The combine referred to does not
embrace the Mathieson & IIegler
works or the Illinois Zine Co, of La
Sale and Peru, ILL.,, which Jointly
produce by far the major part OF all
spelter made in the country. The
Mineral Point company is the only
one of its kind west of New Jersey
and our only competitors are eastern
firms
DURING the closing weeks of 1896
the daily papers have published an
extraordinary amount of interesting
and important news. II IL worth
something to the busy newspaper
reader to have this mass of infor-
nation taken up, arranged, digested
and reviewed in calm and intelli-
gent manner. The Review Of Re
views performs this service very ef-
ficiently every month. The number
for January, 1896, is especially strong
in this respect, The editorial depart
ment, called "The Progress Of the
World" is distinguished for its able
handling Of national and interna-
tional topics of the hour. In fact,
the Review occupies unique posi-
tion as a truly international maga-
zine" Its soundly American stand

Married, at the home of Mr.. James
Penberthy, father of the groom. In
this city, by Rev. L. Kent, Friday
evening, Jan. Sd, 1895, Mr.. Lew PEN
berthy, OF Chicago, and Miss Minnie
Cunningham, daughter Of Houston
Cunningham, Of Cobb, Wis. The
groom has been for some time an
employe of the mercantile house Of

to win for him success In the rushing

Mrs. Philip Allen, Jr., Deceased.


A beautiful life went out Saturday
morning, JAN 4th, when Mrs. Mary
Ann, wife of Phil. Allen Jr., breathed
her last at her home in this city.
Had she lived until March next she
would have completed half a century
Of smiles and tears. For several
years Mrs. Allen had been an inva-
lid, and for many months 1t has been
apparent that she was rapidly ap-
proaching the bank Of the cold stream
and must soon pass to meet the an
gels beckoning her on the further
shore. AS though 10th to take her
from the loving and tender care of
earthly friends, whose affection and
attentions made her earthly habita-
tion unlike heaven only because of
mortal limitations, the transport
ing angels seemed to hesitate in the
completion of their work, and left
her with us many days after the or
der for her removal had gone forth.
Mrs. Allen was born in this city,
the second daughter Of Hon. and
Mrs. John Gray. All her life had
been spent in this community, and
as child, maiden, wife and matron,
the same gentle spirit OF meekness,
truth and charity ruled in her inter-
course with playmates of childhood
and associates of mature years.
In 1869 she became the wife Of
Philip Allen, Jr. Although too
fragile in body to attend him in
many of his works for the betterment
and uplifting of his fellows, she con-
tributed largely by her words Of en-
couragement and approval toward
all the efforts in this line that have
won him distinction as a laborer in
the moral vineyard. Besides the hus-
band, a daughter, just verging into
womanhood, when the guidance of u
mother is so much needed, mourns
as one that may not be comforted.
The aged parents feel that her loss is
not to be compensated until her
bright smile greets them again.
Others Of the more deeply bereaved
are, one brother, Mr.. j. l.. Gray, of
the firm of Gundry d Gray, and six
sisters, namely: Mrs. Il. G. Andrews,
of Denver, Mrs. j. r. Toay, Miss
Grace Gray, Mrs. II. j. Penhallegon,
Jr., Mrs. f. G. Hanscom, of this city,
and Mrs. VIM. Pettis, of Chicago.
All of these were present at the
funeral except Mrs. Pettis, and she
had been called to the duties Of her
home from the bedside of her sister
but a few days previous to deaths
call.
The immense funeral train and
the profusion of floral offerings, on
Monday afternoon the 9Th, in part
expressed the general sentiment
of bereavement. Memorial services
were conducted at the p. M.
church, of which Mrs. Allen had
been a devoted member from early
girlhood, by Rev. T.. Kent, pastor Of
the church, assisted by Rev. +. w.
Straw, of the M. II. church, and Rev.
S. r. Chubb, of Kewaunee, Ills, late
pastor here. The casket with its
precious contents was deposited in
Graceland cemetery.
Calm on the bosom of thy God,
Fair spirit restthee now.
Even while with us thy footsteps trod,
His seal was on thy brow.
Dust, 10 its narrow house beneath.
Soul. TO its place on high!
They that have seen thy looks in death
No more may fear to die.
Lone are the paths, and sad the bowers.
Whence thy meek smile Is gone.
But 0, a brighter home than ours
In heaven is now thine own.
