THE Blankner anasthetic as used
| by DR.. Clarke in the extraction of
teeth, minor surgical operations, etc,
is proving very successful. 4w4
THE Dodgeville Chronicle was
found to be the lowest bidder for
| county printing when bids were
opened last Saturday, and secured
the contract. 1t covers only miscel-
laneous job printing, and the prices
quoted are said to be below reason
able estimates of cost for paper and
typesetting.
Mr.. JOHN CoRRELL was in from
Eden on Tuesday. He says it has
not been so cold in his town by II
degrees as in Mineral Point. Mr..
Correll takes a lively interest in the
fair of this city, and is doing some
good work in getting subscriptions
to stock. The loyalty Of out-of-town
friends of the fair is u rebuke to
some residents of the city.
THE Madison Democrat reports
that an eXperimento of Y rays on John
Faragher, of Dodgeyille, undertaken
at science hall last Thursday, was
hardly a success, and no surgical
operation will be undertaken from
it. Two exposures We're made. No
evidence OF humorous growth was
found, but an appearance Of perfera-
ton o. the spine, indicating decay
was noticeable.
THE water jacket of the TRIBUNE
gasoline engine was bursted by
water freezing in it Sunday night,
1T was bad break and shipment of
the machine TO the factory seemed
inevitable. But Simon Lanyon, the
expert machinist, being called in,
undertook TO repair the damage, and
did it in admirable shape, and had
the engine ready for use in time to
run oil this number Of the paper
Wednesday evening.

EDITH PHILLIPS BURNS,
Ir appears by the Cassville Index,
whose editor is John Foley, that our
Judge McIlhon was a farmer at some
! time in his life, which will be news
to the Judges friends in this county.
The information is conveyed by the
index in the following:
: We see by the Lancaster papers
that Judge Chas. w. Mcllhon, of
Mineral Point, held county court in
Lancaster during Judge Carriers alb
) sence. Had the Index man known
Charley was there at that time he
would have gone up on foot or by
phone to see him; he and the editor
used to harvest togetber-lots Of
times, and got good wages too.
THE very unlayorable weather of
Saturday and Monday prevented
many OF our people from enjoying
the excellent performance OF the
Sanford Dodge dramatic company,
and operated to make the visit Of the
company to our city unprofltable.
Despite the storm, quite an audience
was secured for the play Of Damon
and pythias on Saturday evening,
and those present were 50 highly
pleased that an invitation was eX-
tended TO the company 70 give an
other entertainment on Monday
evening, hoping for more favorable
weather. The request was acceeded
to, bat Boreas again interfered. Only
the hardest had the courage to face
the 30 degree below zero tempera-
ture, and in consequence a very slim
audience was present to enjoy the
second appearance Of Mr. Dodge and
his excellent company. The people
who could not attend aud the com-
pany are sharers IN "A loss.
