A TRIP of nearly $50 miles for $500
is what the Illinois Central r. r. Co.
gives on its excursion from Dodge
Vile to Chicago and return Satur-
day, October bud. Trains leave

This will no doubt b3 the last and
certainly the cheapes; excursion Of

Nh. AND Mrs. JOHN CoRRELL, who
only a week ago stood over the grave
OF their son., Henry, have been again
called to mourn in the silent city"
where another son, Archie, aged
about Is has been carried. He was
Il victim OF the same desease, typhoid
fever. In their double affection, the
bereaved family have the sympathy
of "A large circle of friends.
MARRIED-In this city yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, Mr.. VI. :. De-
Muth, of Dodgeville, and Miss Julia
S~chamberg, OF this city. The bride
is one of Mineral Points fairest
daughters, and formerly "A teacher in
our public schools. Mr.. DeMuth is
a comparative stranger to our people,
but bis securing such a prize in the
matrimonial lottery speaks well for
him. We wish the young couple
prosperity and happiness through
their welded career.
THE city has purchased the lots
back Of the Schiller Hotel, and
leased them to the Electric Light
company, who will furnish the power
for Il system of water-works. One
Of the large engines has been taken
from the Zinc Works, and the erect
ing of "A building for the engine and
dynamo on the newly purchased lots
was begun this week. This with
the many other improvements going
on, causes mor activity in old Min
! eral Point than she has seen for
many II day. Other necessities that
are recognized are "A new school
building and city hall, and they will
be a reality i'm time.
FROM the present outlook coal
heating stoves will be a dead stock
on the market in this city this fall,
which is caused by SO many of oul
citizens throwing them out and plac-
ing ia their stead steam and hot water
heating apparatus. The firms of j. j
Penhallegon and Martin d Toay are
fitting up several homes IN our city
with this system of heating. Mr.. Pen.
hallegon has, within the past tive
weeks, placed in the residence or w
II. PrideauX the hot hot air system
and in the home of Frank Hanscom
a combination of water and air has
been placed. Others yet to be filled
are steam for the White House, hot
water in the store of Brewer Il Pen
hallegon, residences of Mrs. John
Hutchinson, John Fielder, and for u
Mr.. J. +. Dott, Il merchant Of Sun
Prairie, Wis. Martin Il Toay have
fitted up the homes of j. J. Hans.

II. Goldsworthy, n. Y. Martin, anc
the store Of Gundry d Gray.
1t is quite probable that coal stove,
will be cheap this fall, which viii.
prove u convenience for those in
need of same.
