aged 81 years. Deceased came from
England to Mineralpoint at the age of
Il years.
A ranchman living near North
Platte, Nebraska. while digging an
irrigation ditch recently, unearth
tin box containing gold bars worth
$4,000 and silver to the value Of
5000. The supposition is that this
treasure was buried there during the
gold fever of 40 when an overland
party returning from California was
surprised by Indians and massacreed
at this point.
The pearling craze has been re-
vived in Wisconsin since gold reports
from Alaska began to come in. Last
week persons in Darlington raked the
bottom of the Peeatonica river with
greater success than heretofore, and
thousands OF dollars worth Of pearls
have been taken out. A 10-year old
son of Col. j. G. Knight found the
finest, 10-grain pearl perfectly
round, in hunt of only twenty min
utes. 1t is very valuable.
Col" Kavanaugh. the barber.
was in Lancaster two or three weeks
ago as the advance agent of Marsh. !
Bros. circus; but he seems to have
severed his connection with that
penurious of all penurious show ag-
gregations. The Boscobel Enterprise
of last week says: "Col. Kavanaugh
was arrested Thursday charged with
disorderly conduct. d. Oswald was
the complaining witness. He was
taken before Justice Henderson and
fined 1926, including costs or fifteen
days in county Jail. He produced
the requisite amount"
Isn't it about time for Boscobel
to discover another copper mine, or
something? What ails the cores
pendent OF the Evening Wisconsin?
He hasn't opened any new mines nor
killed any women with rattlesnakes
this season. We notice that the Bos-
cobel correspondent of the Sentinel
has made CHASTITY find in log cabin
oyer in Crawford county of the de-
composed body of an old farmer
named Melon. If the Wisconsin cor
respondent had been in ordinary
working trim he would have made
that a whole latch OF decomposed
Melons
A fond mother in Platteville re-
Gently took her baby to photographer
to have her picture taken, but the
child could not be made to sit still.
Finally the photographer said to the
despairing mother, MADAME, if you
will leave the little one with me for
moment | think / can succeed" The
mother left the room and in a few
minutes was summoned back by the
triumphant photographer who pro-
dueed a satisfactory negative. When
they reached home the mother asked.
Nellie, what did the man say to you
when | left you alone with him?"
He thaid, lisped Nellie. ''thit thtill,
you little imp, or I'll thmath you

father to his son who wanted wheel,
you'll find one in front end of thai
wheelbarrow, and there is big pile
of coal ashes back of the house that
will have to be moved. The handle
bars are of white ash and are adjust
able, so you can get any style of hump
on that suits your fancy. 1t is regu-
lated largely by the load you put on.
The bigger the load the more you
have to hump yourself Be careful
and don't mar the enamel on the
frame and keep the ball bearings well
oiled, so they won't cut into the
cones. The tire is absolutely punct-
ureless so you won't have to take a
pump and repair kit with you. BY
the time you win have removed that
pile of ashes l think you will have
made a century run, also the perspira-
ton. You had better come into din
ner now
