John p. Hambly-Obituary.

The protructed illness of Mr.. John
=. Hamhly, heretofore mentioned in
the Tribune, terminated in death
Thursday morning, March 3, 1900, at
| 30 o'clock, at his home in this city.
He was i'll for about six weeks, and
although his friends realized his con-
dition to be critical, his own splendid
courage aud confidence led them TO
hope that he might withstand the at
tack, On sunday preceding his
death, however, he perceptibly
changed for the worse, aud gradually
sank until the end came, which was
as peaceful as his life had been
Mr.. Hambly was born at ST Ives,
England, in June, 1898. His father
went 10 Australia when he was u
small child, and died there. A por-
ton of his boyhood was spent with
an uncle. at Falmouth. Later he re-
moved to Redruth, whore he learned
the trade of cabinet maker. When
Only about 20 years Of age he eini-
grated To America. Two years he
spent in Boston working ut his trade.
In 1860 he came to Wisconsin. For
two or three years he operated u
small farm north Of Dodgeville, then
came to Mineral Point, and resided
here except for short intervals the
remainder Of his life. For full -
years he was continuously employed
in the Mineral Point railroad shops,
as car-ropnircf and at other wood
work. He was n skilled workman,
industrious, conscientious in giving
faithful service to employers, aud
worthy citizen. A self-reliant man,
he did not seek acquaintances, or
curry favors, consequently was not
so widely known as many who have
been with us u much shorter time,
but those who knew him intimately
esteemed him for his sterling, manly
qualities.
March llth, 1859, ne was lnafrled
in this city to Miss Elizabeth Rich
ards, whose great bereavement only
those who have experienced simi-
lar loss can realize. No children re-
main to comfort and mourn Will.
her. Mr.. Hambly's mother and two
only brothers died within the past
few years. He was tho last survivor
OF his family.
The funeral on Saturday afternoon
was we'll attended by sympathetic
friends. Religious services were
conducted at the residence by the
Rev. Geo. Merrifleld, and the re-
mains deposited in Graceland ceme-
terry.

piece is now only 80 feet from eas,
wall of city hall to Vine street. Ifs
| feet of this is used for new building
as proposed by the Democrat two
weeks ago, there would remain II
patch Of only 40 feet on that side.
Whether the extension il made
east or west for u new hall, utilizing
the present building, is immaterial,
and even should it be necessary to
remove entirely the old east wall,
the plan of the Tribune would cost
not to exceed one-half that suggested
through the Democrat. But most
important, if the policy of selling
long-term leases of small part of
the west end of the public ground is
acted upon, there will be no neces-
,ity for bonding the city.
But we are not tenacious for any
plan, and will rejoice at the adoption
of either. Our only purpose in dis
cussing the matter rs to secure what
every citizen comedies to be desir-
able. Stimulated by newspaper ag-
itation of the subject, a meeting TO
consider it, is to be held, under the
following call, and it is hoped there
may be large attendance, every one
feeling free to speak his mind:
A mass meeting of the citizens of
Mineral Point will be held at Opera
House Friday evening, March 10Th,
1900, for the purpose of discussing
the subject of IA new city hall. All
voters are requested to attend and
express their views and offer sugges-
tlrns along this line. Signed;

How a man can be his own grand
father. I married q widow who had a
daughter. My father visited our house
frequently, fell in love and married my
step-daughter. Thus my father became
my s%on-in.law, and my ~step.daughter
my mother, because she was my fathers
wife. Ny step-daughter also had a son;
he was of course my brother and at the
same time my grandchild, for he was
the son Of my daughter. My wife was
my grandmother, because she was my
mothers mother, I was my wife's
husband and grandchild at the same
time; and as the husband of a persons
grandmother is his grandfather. I must
be my own grandfather.-Ex.

II is high time that the war taxes
should be removed. There is a surplus
in the treasury and this surplus is des-
tined to grow steadily IL the taxes are
not stopped OF course it would oe
better il congress would repeal the
tariff which protects the trusts and let
the war taxes stand, but congress- is
Repu blican in politics and will do
nothing Of the kind. This being the
case the war taxes should go The
secretary Of the treasury has made a
statement regarding the revenue. on
the showing which he makes the re-
peal of the war taxes, in part at least
is practicable. For the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1900, the estimated re-
ceip,s OF the government are as fol-
lows Customs, s233, 900 600; internal
revenue, S202 100000; miscellaneous
ss5, ,oo0, 900; total, $500 600 900. The
expenditures, including sl35, ,0OO, 600
for the army and on our war account,
s55, 600, 900 for the navy and sl4S, 0OO,-
600 for pensions, aggregating $500 ?
900, 900, leaving a surplus Of $40, 600, 900.
Plainly that $40 900, 300 should not
be exaeted from the people.
Housed in the treasury it is tempt
alton for subsidy grabbers and can do
the taxpayers no good being out of
circulation and practically buried cap
ital,
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1909, the total revenues of the govern
ment are estimated at s577, 600, 900 and
the expenditures at s495, 600. 600, leav-
ing a surplus OF $50 10000 In the
next fiscal year the secretary allows
s125, 900, 900 for the army, and presum-
ably for var, and 500, ,oOO,o 900 for the
navy--a reduction Of IS, 900, 900 on &C
count II the two most important
items in our national budget since the
era Of Imperialism which was ushered
in with the reign OF Mckinley.
This matter viii grow worse as ex~
penses are reduced ami the only way
TO improve the condition is to repeal
the unnecessary war taxes.
