Integrity Wins.

1.-The meek shall inherit the earth"
was long ages since decreed by God and
dec Ia:ed by His prophets and reaf1irmod
by Christ. 1t has proved to be true in
every age. 1t is strikingly illustrated
among Methodists. The poor and hum
BILE man is converted. He begins to earn
and save and give. Virtue is less expen-
sive than vice. Property accumulates
and wealth follows. Places of power
open. The humble and poor rise because
Of righteousness.
The ungodly squanders his means
loses health by his vices, loses honor
and wealth. Grasping at much in the
wrong spirit, he loses all. "Seek first
the kingdom" is wisdom.

WHEELER'S WHISPERS.

He Had Them Cut on and His Wife
Didn't Like 1t.
Old man Wheeler's whiskers, saws the
Atlanta (Ga.) journal, were the JOY and
satisfaction of Mrs. Wheeler's life.
They were long and luxuriant and fell
down upon his breast in wavy pillows.
Mr.. Wheeler took an almost populistic
pride in these whiskers and this pride
was shared in by his wife To caress or
to pull, the whiskers were equally well
adapted. Little did the aged Mr..
Wheeler suspect how strong bond of
union between himself and his better
half were those whfskers until recently.
In an evil moment he had them shaved
eff and went to his home minus tho

Dedication of Odd Fellows Hall.

Yesterdays dedication ceremonies
at the Odd Fellows Hall were the
principle event of the season in Min
eral Point. At about > O'Clock a
large procession of members of that
body marched to their hall, where
appropriate dedication ceremonies
took place. The address of Grand
Master VIM. Geo. Thwaits was we'll
received by the brethern. In the
evening a large number of invited
guests assembled at the hall and lis
tened to speeches by brother Odd
Fellows, interspersed with appropri-
ate music. The address on odd
Fellowship" by Grand Chaplain, w.
j. Fisher was interesting and pleas
ing to his hearers. At o'clock the
first table for supper was announced,
when as many of the great assem-
blage as could sat down to an ele-
CANT spread.
Partners for the Grand March"
was the call at the city hall about 10
o'clock, and from then until the wee
hours of morn the merry dancers
stripped the light fantastic"
The order of Odd Fellows is stead
lily increasing its membership, espe-
cially is this true in the case of the
Iowa Lodge, of this city. They
have at present more candidates
than they can initiate during the
coming year, which is indeed a good
showing.

Hurt in a Mine.

| Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Henry
Ovitz met with very distressing
accident and one that he may be
thankful did not prove fatal.
Mr.. Ovitz is engaged in mining on
w. II. Prideaux's land, in the north
ern part of the city, and shortly be-
fore noon he made ready for a blast.
He lighted the fuse and then as
cended to the surface to eat his din
ner. After finishing his meal and
finding that the blast had not ex-
ploded, he decended into the mine to
put in another charge. When with
in a very short distance of the dyna-
mite, boring out the old charge,
the same exploded, throwing him
quite distance from the spot. A
young lad was with Mr.. Ovitz at the
time. but he received no injuries.
The boy climbed to the top of the
shaft and notified those working
overhead of the accident. DR.. Dea-
hole was called and upon eNamlna-
ton it was found that the injured
man was burned badly about the
face and body, and that quantity
of powder had enter sd his eyes. He
was taken to his home and at this
writing is resting quite easily. DR..
Deahofe says, if there are no inter-
nal injuries his patient will soon re-
cover.
The many friends of Mr.. Ovitz are
panied to hear of his misfortune and
sincerely hope for the best.

Heard for Miles.

Last Friday morning. at about 1
o'clock many of our citizens were
awakened from their peaceful
dreams by shock that shook, in
many cases, houses, beds and win
dows. The first thought Of some. on
awakening, was that II woul9-be In
truder was shaking the door violent
ly. The cause of all the disturbance
was learned to be the explosion Of
the powder mill at Platteville. The
building was completely destroyed.
The loss Is about $1,000.
The shock caused by the explo-
sion was felt in several neighboring
towns. At Lancaster, in one or two
houses, the plastering was SHAKEN
from the walls. The effect was felt
at shullsburg, 2s miles distant. The
accident occurred at an hour whom
few workmen were on the grounds
and no serious injuries resulted.
Mr.. VIM. II. Thomas, former resi-
dent of Mineral Point, and who Is
engineer at the mill, was on duty at
his post at the time Of the explosion,
but IA card from him to his half
brother, Chas. Winn, in this city,
says that he only received a few
scratches, which is miraculous.
This is the fourth time the mill has
blown up.

LAST Sunday party Of four, con-
sisting of one of our young lady
school teachers, a lady friend and
two gentleman friends started for a
sleigh ride-all four in n one seated
cutter. The poor horse soon got
tired of his job, and started on run.
1t is supposed that it was his object
to relieve himself Of the load, for
this he soon did. One of the occu-
pants went north, one south, one east
and the other west upon leaving the
cutter, while the horse looked around
and grinned. When last seen the
young ladies were walking toward
home leading the horse, while the
two gentleman friends were tagging
on behind hitched to the broken
cutter.
