can easily HlaiHtalN leF reputation
for cleanliness for some time to come.
The Darlington Republican says
that those of that place who attend
ed the Eastern Star convention held
in this city last week "aIe loud in
their praise of Mineral Point hospi-
tality."
Mr.. Peter Toay, formerly of this
/ place, but during the last few years
! has been draying at Warren, was in
our city the first of this week, and
many were the old acquaintances
glad to meet him.
Mrs, $. Zollinger and little daugh-
| ter, who have been visiting relatives
and friends in Mineral Point and
Waldwick have returned to their
home near Marshfield, after three
weeks stay here.
! "A. w. Comfort, of Saltwater,
| Mimi, a former resident of this place
and Linden, favored the Tribune
with call yesterday. Outside of
whitening his locks time is dealing
gently with our old friend.
-Thos. Whitford, Jr, who lately

Stanley North, "A longtime resi-
dent and business man of Spring
Green, was almost instantly killed
at that place on Thursday of last
week From reports it can be con-
strued as a result from careless
switching.
October, 1899, has passed into his
tory. and it can be said that few are
the years since the white man trod
the section known as Southwestern
Wisconsin in which more pleasant
weather was had dnring said month
than this year.
Two brick layers arrived here
from Chicago Tuesday evening. This
makes thirtytwo stone masons and
brick layers who have been secured
from other places to work on the
new sulphuric acid plant in course
of construction in this city within
the last week.
About eighty section men were
brought to this city Tuesday morn
ing and all that day they were en-
ployed at laying the new switch
track to the new acid plant, and tits
understood that the same force will
be on hand for another day the last
of the week to complete the job, if
possible.
The annual report Of the secre-
tary and treasurer Of our fair, which
is published in the Tribune this
week, ought to prove interesting and
satisfactory to the greater number
Of our readers, and we trust viii
compensate for what this issue may
lack locally otherwise. 1t is GER

out our figures given last week.
Those who believe IN "dousingn
have some corroboration Of their

in British Hollow, in Grant county,
has recently discovered 3 big black
jack lead upon land which had never

crevices can be located by dousIng
A football team, more than half
Of whom were high school pupils,
played game with the Darlington
city team at that place last Saturday
afternoon, and were beaten by the
small score Of ) to 0. Not 50 bad
boys. With little more practice
you ought to turn the tables. The
Darlington papers may have the
score II to 0, but the last score was
made by running out Of bounds.
On the night OF the l4th inst. !
there vii pour from the heavens, as
tronomers predict, the most remark
able and spectacular stream Of shoot |
ing stars seen since the century be
gan. Once IN every 33 years the |
spectacle Of millions OF stars falling
out of the heavens is witnessed by |
the human race. Every year few
scattered fragments Of the heavenly /
bodies are seen, but the appearance

Prof. Vernon, the hypnotist, paid
