franklin Dana Leavitt.

Again the Tribune is called to the
painful and difficult duty of record
ing the sudden demise of an esteemed
friend, and expressing in some de-
gree the general sorrow that per-
vades this community because
thereof.
The sad intelligence came last
Thursday morning, that the body of
Mr.. +. ID. Leayitt had been found
lfeleSs in the barn on his farm in the
town of Waldwick. On the Tuesday
afternoon preceding he had gone
from his home in this city as he fire.
quently did to spend day or two on
his farm, looking after matters there.
Throughout "Wednesday he was busy
on the place looking after stock, etc.
Wednesday evening he went on bus
mess to the home of his brother-in-
law and sister, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Ferrell, few miles distant. There
he spenuthe evening until about9:3o,
apparently as well as be ever was in
his life. cheerful and happy. De-
clining an invitation to remain all
night for the reason that he wanted
to get to work early on his farm the
next day. in order that he might re-
turn home To Mineral Point IN the
evening, he mounted his horse and
rode away. That was the last seen
of him alive. The next morning his
brother Charles going to the barn on
the home farm. found his body lite-
less and cold. lying IN an empty
stall. The horse he had ridden stood
in a stall saddled and bridled, but
tied By the hitching strap. No post
mortem examination was held, but
il was generally conceded that death
resulted from natural internal all
ment. probably acute neuralgia oi
vital organs. A coroners jury rem
dered a verdict accordingly. Last
Angust lie had ar attack Of severe
nain in hi- stomach and bowels,
greatly alarming his wife, but on
promptly being given a little brandy
and other bot drinks, he quickly re-
covered. Mrs. Leayitt thinks his
death resulted from a second attack
~ the same character, when he was
where no help could be given him.
For years he bad otherwise been per-
fectly healshlg

The X. p. Castle Hall.

The Pytbian Knights of Mineral
Point are fully justified in being
elated over their new Castle Hall.
| NO civic society in this section has
anything of the kind more elegant,
commodious and convenient, and
IN some respects it is uueuualled.
A word painter OF the first order
would find here material deserving
his finest touches; no matter
description of its proportions, ar
rangement and appointments will
do it Justice.
The full size of building is 37x67,
the height of three stories. A frame
structure, outer walls covered with
corrogated iron in imitation of brick.
Main entrance from the street
through foot doorway, into ves-
tibule 6xS. On the right fiom the
vestlbnle is a parlor, l2Xl4; on the
left an ante room of the same size.
From the vestibule also, the banquet
room is reached by easy stairs.
From the yestibule the audience
room, or Castle Hall, can also be en-
tered directly in front on public oc-
casions through five foot door.
This hall, 30x50, has vaulted steel
ceilings, which, with the walls, is ar
tistically frescoed. All the wood
work is richly grained in oak. On
the east are four double plate ground
glass windows; on the west side five
closets for regalia and lodge equip
ments are set off.
Below is the banquet and dancing
room, 36x44, exclusive of space occu-
pied by music stand and furnace.
One hundred and twenty guests can
be seated at once, and fifty couples
can dance simultaneously on the
polished hard wood floor.
In the basement front is a large,
airy, well-equipped kitchen, easy of
access from the east side of the build

In the upper front, overlooking
High street, is spacious room, APP
proached by easy stairs from the
main hall, designed for a gentlemen's
retiring and smoking room. Con-
yenient toilet rooms for gentlemen
and ladies are not wanting. The en-
tire building is thoroughly warmed
by an immense furnace, and lighted
by electricity without stint.
Everything will be in readiness
for the dedication, Feb. 22d, which
will no doubt be the greatest civic
society event of the year in this city.

Gundry & Gray's fine double store

convenient than ever. The shelving
on the east side has been lowered
about Is inches, and the shelves
made twice the former depth, in

apartment higher appearance.
The center shelving is extended
three feet to the front. At the front
end of the east and west counters
and across the front middle of the

MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY

1
years old he came with his parents
to Wisconsin, and settled on the farm
where he died. About 1872 he went
to California, remaining there about
20 years, except that three or four
times he visited Wisconsin on busi-
ness. About the first of 1899, he re-
turned to make his home perma-
nently on the fRrm which he had so
long loved, and of which he had be-
| come owner. There he resided with
| his mother until June |, 1899 when
he was married to Miss Jennie Bur
| goyne of this city. and took up his
residence with her here.
The aged mother, Mrs. Harriet A.
Leavitt, three brothers and four sis
ters survive him. The brothers are
William j. and George, residing at
| Weaverville, California, and Charles
on the home farm. The four sisters
are married, and are Mrs. Martin
| Van Matre, at Weaverville Cal, Mrs
John Ferrell and Mrs. Samuel Fer
rell, of Waldwick. and Mrs. Charles
Ladd, of Chicago.
Deceased was member Of Mort
Star Lodge, /. 0. O. f., of Weaver
willie, Cal, down to his death. He
was made Mason in California also,
but by transfer became II member of
| Mineral Point Lodge, and advanced
to the degree of Knight Templar.
which he attained about a year ago.
In his life and conduct he eXempIi-
fled the best principles of both those
orders, kind, generous and honor
able.
| The funeral ceremonies on Sunday
afternoon, from the residence in this
city. consisted of Odd Fellow and
Episcopal church services at the
house, Masonic services at the grave,
and procession of the two orders,
with Knight Tenplars in uniform as
escort.
| There was the strongest affection
| between Mr.. Leavitt and his young
wife, on whom the blow comes with
paralyzing weight. In their great
sorrow, she and the aged mother,
| brothers and sisters, have the COM
fort of knowing that all who knew
their loved one appreciate his worth,
and mourn with them.
When Hon. Calvert Spensley
called on the Tribune on a little mat
| ter of business, and incidentally
mentioned that he was going out of
town, we assumed that it was one of
his frequent business trips. He gave
no intimution that he was going as
| far as the Bermuda islands, nor that
| Mrs. Spensley would accompany him.
| Yet we will not believe that his ie-
ticence regarding the point for which
he was departing was for any reason
like that said To have actuated peo-
pie going to those salubrious coral
islands in olden time, when Ben
Johnson wrote;
There's an old debt Of forty "a my word
For one is run away To the Bcrmuda..'
The Tribune erred in not giving
credit to the Mineral Point Fire Co.
for good service at the zinc works
fire. Members of the company re-
spouded promptly to the alarm
whistle. and through their efforts
mainly was the fire kept within
bounds and so quickly snbdued.

day in Oklahoma City. Captain Stiles was
we'll known in Washington. having spent a
number of years here. During the early
part of the sos he was connected with the
old Washington Chronicle, but soon after
the opening of the civil war he returned to
Massachusetts. from which state he had
come to this city, and there Joined a volun-
teer regiment, with which he served until
the close of the struggle between the states.
He was later commissioned In the regular
army and served with the 10th Infantry I'M
til after the opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers, in. 1889. when he was retired at his
own request During the early days OF
Oklahoma Captain Stiles had much to do
with the molding into shape of the details
of the government of the new territory be-
ing provost marshal. and also having COM
mand of the United States troops at that
point. Since 1890 he has been engaged in
extensive mining and land enterprises in

Mr.. William B. King, who has been
absent In the far west on legal business
for a month past. reports very favorable
outlook for republican success in that sec
ton. "In California, where / was for
about two weeks" he said to Star re-
porter today. II made point to talk about
politics with as many representative peo-
pie OF different classes as possible. 1t Is
a curious fact that durinG>that time
found only one man who said that he was
going to vote for Bryan. He was a saloon
keeper in the little town of Castroville and
bad Bryan's picture hanging over his bar.
A distinguished officer of the Department
OF Justice, who spent some time in Seattle
and San Francisco. told me that his ex-
perience had been the same; that he had
seen just one Bryan badge worn on the
coast. l was in Utah at the time of the
republican convention there, and 1t was
acknowledged that 1t had nominated the
strongest ticket possible. The general opin-
ion was freely expressed that the chances
were decidedly in favor Of the republic
cans In the state. In Wyoming / saw both
Senator Warren and the chairman of the
state republican committee. They are both
sanguine of success, and the latter told me
that while he could not give any figures
at the present time, substantial majority
for Mckinley in the state might be counted
on"
