Election of County Judge.

A call for convention of the re-
publican electors of Iowa county, to
be held Tuesday, Feb. 23d, for the
purpose of nominating candidate
for county Judge, is published. This
action was taken by the committee
after comforting freely with republic
cans of the county and finding an al
most unanimous sentiment in favor
of it. In view of the fact that there
are several republicans of recognized
capability and merit who have an
ambition to fill the office, con-
vention is undoubtedly desirable.
Without it the county probably
would be flooded with calls, five or
six candidates would be on the
ticket, and the successful one might
be elected while receiving less than
n quarter Of the vote east. A man
elected by small minority of the
total vote might be positively OBJ
iectionable to n large majority. The
surest way of avoiding such a possl-
bility is by the convention method,
when aspirants are numerous as ut
present.
Already there are four pronounced q
republican candidates, to-wit: Rich
ard Carter, Geo. II. Whitman, j. p.
Smoker, and j. J. Hoskins, all of
Dodgeville. 1t is said that each of
these is willing to submit his claims
to a convention. Democrats mem
toned as suitable and willing to ad-
minister the Office are Hon. j. NJ.
Smith, of this city, and Aldro jerks,
of DoGgeville, Judge McIlhon hav-
ing signitied that he has no desire to
succeed himself. What course will
be adopted by the democrats. is not
yet indicated. Ii is to be presumed
however, that a candidate in opposi-
tion To the republican nominee will be
brought out, either by another con-
ventiou or by petition. If a Judge is
selected from among those named
the people will be reasonable well
served.

The X. of p. Installation Party.

IN advance as well as after ii
might have been as safely said that
the annual installation party Of
! Raven Lodge X. of T.. equals any
| thing Of the kind for the season. The
| 100 members, including the brightest
and most genial young men of the
city, are sure to make any social oc-
casion under their direction a sue
cess. They fully met expectations
last Thursday evening. From 8 un-
till IL o'clock the company of fully
200 people were entertained at the
Castle Hall, witnessing the pleasing
installation services, ably conducted
by DR.. w. j. Pearce, of Dodgeville,
and listening to excellent music,
songs, speeches and recitations. Then
followed the banquet, aud dancing
at the opera house.
Revs. Kent and Chase contributed
short addresses, Miss Minor an ap-
propriate recitation, Misses Thomas
and Huxtable vocal solos. Messrs.
Williams, Hankins, HuXtable and
Hughes as a male quartette admir-
ably sang several pieces. But, of the
good things served at the intellec
tual feast, the address Of Mr.. George
Crawford, at the conclusion of the in
stallation services, was especially
meritorious It impressed us as
equal TO anything in its line we had
ever heard-strong in portrayal Of
the principles Of the order, earnest
in urging members to eXemplify
them in their lives, poetic in con
ception, pare in diction and forcible
in delivery. That Bro. Crawford
will prove devoted and efficient
Chancellor Commander, and do good
service to his lodge his installation
address il ample assurance.
The elect for 1897 are:
c. C.-George Crawford.
v. C.-Heury Jackson.

Don't Want Our Fair to Die.

Darlington Republican From the
TRIBUNE Of this week, il appears
that IT is doubtful whether or not
Mineral Point win hold fair this
year. The society is in debt aud un-
able to pay their creditors They
still have 200 shares OF stock which
are unsold, and it is hard to find pur-
chasers. The committee held a
meeting last Saturday and this con
dition Of things was made apparent
from tceir report The meeting was
adjourned until the first Saturday In
February, and one FINAL effort viii be
made to raise the money. II the
committee fails, t1e TRIBUNE iuti-
mates that no fair viii be held this
year. II would be calamity, not
only to Mineral Point but to south
western Wisconsin, to have the fair
ia which all the people Ia this Soc
tiOu Of the state have taken such
pride Isl the many years gone by, TO
be allowed to die, Mineral Point is
a wealthy city, ana although times
are hardand money close, We believe
there IL energy enough and pride
sufficient ia old Mineral Point to
save the fair Don't let it be said
that the Mineral Poinl fair died FOR
want of home support"

Deaths of the Week.

The harvester death has been I'M
usually busy in this city since the
issue Of the TRIBUNE for last week,
having transferred four of our citi-
zens to his silent storehouse.
JOSEPH MILLER.
This young man of about 22 years,
who has been an invalid for some
time, victim Of consumption, died
at the home OF his mother in the
south part of the city, on Wednes-
day evening, the 10th and was buried
Friday IN the city cemetery. Ills
brief life was without taruish of evil,
RICHARD MOON.
The same night, Jan Goth, Richard

81 years of age and had resided in
Iowa county through half of his life.

daughters survive them.
MRS. NANNIE LANG.
On the 22d this good wife of Thos.

successfully EstnbIished Fifty Years
..; o4r-sEAgo Near Berne. s2El[
The happiest and most successful
health seekers of our latter-day world
are probably the summer guests of the
Irauben kuren, or grape-cure gardens,
that were established some fifty years
ago in the neighborhood of Berne. and
can now be found all over Switzerland,
France, the Rhineland countries and
southern Austria, says Chautauquan.
Guests eat very light breakfast.
Weather permitting, they then scatter
in quest of a sharp appetite. The seri-
Gus work of the day begins at ten a. m,
when the gates of the vineyard are
opened for the forenoon lunch. Help
ing yourself is the order of the day.
Gossipers stroll up and down the leafy
avenues, culling tidbits here and there;
business men gather good supply and
retreat with book to some shady nook
to spice their lunch with utilitarian
by-purpose. If glutton desires to
eat his moneys worth to the last penny
the landlord gives him a fair chance;
nobody controls the proceedings of the
lunch party. and The dinner bell does
not ring before three p. m. In other
words. the grape cullers get five-hours'
opportunity to eat their fill, and experts
can get away with IS pounds more
easily and with infinitely less risk to
their hygienic interests than brewery
employe with Is schooners of alcohol
lied barley swill. f.-t
Grapes, it is true, are chiefly sweet
water with a subtle favoring from
natures own laboratory; but in no
other form can the human organism abr
sorb so large a quantity Of Blood
purifying liquids with such minimum
of distressing after effects. The ex+
pugative fluid reaches every part of the
system, rinsing out morbid humors and
restoring congested organs to
healthy state of functional activity. for
reasons which. traced to their ultimate
significance, mean that man, in spite
OF nature, is frugivorous. not a car
nivorous nor herbivorous biped.
