Great Sermon by Rev. E. c. Jsoka.

II is always pleasure to chronicle
the success of one whom we knew
and respected in early life, especially
when that success Is in a line max
ing for the betterment of the world.
Rev. Elias c. Jacka, whose boyhood
and early manhood was spent in
Mineral Point, is a worthy example
of such success. From here he went
to California several years ago, and
entered the ministry. His health
requiring Il change he moved east
ward, and has recently been called
to the pastorate Of Grace Presbyter-
ian Church at st. Louis, lis being
called to this important charge is ev-
idence that Mr.. Jacka has grown IN
his sacred profession with passing
years. A further evidence of his
growth is found in the fact that he
preached patriotic sermon on July
lst of such merit that about col.
umn of the st. Louis Daily Globe
Democrat is given for n synopsis OF It.
Mr.. VIM. y. Curry was pleased
to entertain at his home in this city

OF his hoyhood.
There is wisdom in laying one
inch instead OF two inch plank for
sidewalks on the less travelled streets
Of our city. The thinner boards cost
much less, and it is believed viii
wear just as long. Other towns gem
orally use one inch boards for such
walks.
"A list of saloon licenses granted
by the Mineral Point common coun-
Gil for the year beginning July lst,
and published herewith, shows only
l3. Reports led us TO suspect there
would be Ia. The disappointment
that the number is less than our es-
innate is not great.
During the thunder storm last
week in Darlington the residence of
William Williams was struck by
lightning and considerably damaged.
A sewing machine was ruined by the
bolt of electricity and other house
hold furniture slightly damaged.
Mr.. Williams and his family Were

their escape seems almost miracu-
lous.
Capt. Phil Lawrence who Is pleas
antly remembered by many Tribune
renders, seems TO be appreciated by
the G.. A. r.. boys as well as by the
people generally in South Dakota,
" here he has for several years mnde
his home. At the recent depart
ment encampment Capt. Lawrence
was unanimously elected Depart
ment Commander Of the state, which
is pleasant news to his Wisconsin
comrades. The Order OF Eastern

Sheriff Porter outwitted the mob and
spirited the negro away. The mob is

The mob was foiled by q clever ruse
arranged by Sheriff Porter, the pris-
oner having been removed to the court
house in anticipation of an attack up
On the Jail. There were about five
hundred men in the mob which came
from the western part OF the town and
surrounded the Jail. While the crowd
was battering the barred doors of the
Jail. Judge Wood pushed his way
through it and in voice that could be
heard above the din, urged the mob to
allow the law to take It's course. He
assured them that Gardner was not in
jail. A committee of five then stepped
forward and asked to be shown
through the jail. which was done, and
they were convinced that Gardner was
not there. A few minutes later car
riage was seen TO drive away from the
rear of the Jail and the mob rushed in
pursuit. but the horses galloped quick
ly away. 1t was only ruse, however.
Gardner was in the court house hand
cuffed to the sheriff.

JURISDICTION OF JUSTICES
OF the Peace May be Limited to Dis
tricts for Which They Are Elect

In the Circuit Court, George Johnson
petitioned for a writ of prohibition to
restrain Annie NJ Hunter, j. w. Rogers
and Henry Stoehr from proceeding fur
Their in a case in Justice w. W. Rogers
court, in which petitioner is defendant.
Court fixed May 28th as time for hear
ing the matter.
The motion for a new trial in the
case of American Preserves Company
VS.. Speidel Grocery Company was ar
gued and submitted.
IN .ae first mentioned case a very
important question is involved. John
sons attorneys raised the point that
the law does not permit Justices of the
Peace to transact civil business
outside of the district for
which they are elected. The
effect of the decision by Judge
Hervey, based upon very recent opin-
ion of the State Supreme Court, may
be to limit the Jurisdiction of Justices
to their own districts. in which event
there will be CONSERVATION in the lesser
courts in Ohio county.
