The home of Mr.. and Mrs. JOSEPH
| Branger was the scene of a Joyous
gathering amounting to over 50 per
sons last Thursday evening, when
their daughter katherine was united
in marriage to Mr.. George w. Pri-
deauX, Rev. T. Kent officiating. The
company consisted of relatives OF
the contracting parties, immediate
friends. and neighbors, who had
known the young people from child
hood and have warm interest in them
heartily rejoicing in their present
happiness, and sincerely wishing
that they may find the journey
through life pleasant as its begin

number of presents been seen at a

County Board Doings.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found the official report of the ad-
journed session of the Iowa County
Board, held at Dodgeville last week.
Most of the time and attention of
the Board seems to have been devo-
ted to efforts to evolve something
that might tend TO more equitable
taxation in the county, but it is
doubtful if anything of practical
value in that line was accomplished.
Why Mr.. Osborne's resolution re-
quiring the register of deeds to fur
nish to assessors lists of uncancelled
mortgages in the several towns met
with so little favor will strike the
average citizen as strange. If evil
dences of credit, such as mortgages,
are taxable, it would seem proper
that assessors inform themselves in
relation TO such instruments, and the
register of deeds is certainly a proper
person to furnish such information.
The action of the board in voting
down the Osborne resolution must
be accepted as a declaration that
for some reason satisfactory to the
Board, it is not desirable that the
public be informed respecting mort
cages. After defeating the Osborne
resolution, there was nothing gained
for accurate and full assessment by
the adoption of the Cody resolution,
which merely demands that assessors
do their duty under the law, while
denying those officials the aid which
the Osborne resolution would have
been to them. Assessors will not
feel at liberty to inquire as to mort
cages since the board has decided
against having the records used for
that purpose. The heated discus
sion had over the Frost resolution
was out of proportion to its import
auce, and its defeat is not to be re-
GREETED. There could be no great ad-
in IA meeting OF assessors at
the county seat if they We're debarred
from utilizing the most fruitful
source of information there.
The provision made for erecting
new home for the county poor is
timely, humane, and in the end will
be an economy. The sum
(SS,000) seems small
for the purpose. The building should

Friendship. Love and Truth

The Tribune's time of issue last
week precluded report of the Odd
Fellows installation and party held
Wednesday evening, the 10th, but
the event was one of SO much good
cheer and impressive incident that
reference to it at any time will be in
order. In addition to the beautiful
and edifying installation service,
there was IA splendid program of vo-
cal and instrumental music, speeches
recitatous, etc. a mixed double
uuartette of singers did good service,
with Mr.. Toay at the organ. Miss
HuXtable in Il selected solo charmed
every listener. Rev's Chase, Merri-
