MINERAL poINT, Wis, Apr. III
Common Council elect for the en-
suing wear met in the council room
this day pursuant to law.
Mayor John Gorgen, introduced by
cx.Mayor Spensloy, called the coun-
ell to order, aud briefly addressed the
members, ms appears below:
GENTLEMEN Having served as a
member of this council during the
past year, | know that | but voice
your sentiments and express the wish
cs Of our citizens generally in thank
ing Mr.. Spcnslcy for the able and inn
partial manner In which he has
discharged all the duties of Mayor Of
this city: and If at the end of my term
leave your body possessing the con
ndence and respect of my fcllow-citi-
Zens which | know Mayor Spenslcy
enjoys, my highest ambition will be
filed.
| realize fully the important duties
and obligations of my position, and it
is with doubts and fears Of my ability
sumo the Office of Mayor, to which |
have been chosen by II small majority
of the voters of this city.
1t is evident to all Of Ms that the
duties to bc discharged by this coun-
ell are increasing in number and i'm
portancc annually; the development
and extension Of our water works, the
protection and expansion of our cleo
trio plant, telephone plant, and the
vast manufacturing plants now being
erected In our city, will naturally
bring to our consideration questions
that will be difficult to solve and ad-
Just, but have no doubt that II we
give to every question our careful and
impartial investigations, ever bearing
in mind that the progress and pros
pcrity of our city depend largely upon
the work done by this council, and
that in public, rs we'll rs private af-
fairs the golden rule, to do unto
others rs we would have others do un-
to us, IL the only safe course to pur-
sue, we will overcome all obstacles:
And In conclusion ! can only assure
you that | have but one object in
view, aud that Is the growth and adj
vanccmcnt OF our city, and the protec-
ton Of every citizen in his personal
and property rights, and to accom-
plish this pledge you all Of my encr
gy and ability, feeling confident that
with the advice and assistance obtain
cd from this council, | will be reason
ably successful in the administration
Of the affairs of our growing city.

the attention of other patrons to the

laZily along in the same old rutS,
which is not at all satisfactory to the
masses, unless we make a change in
the head of the school department,
which we can do by our votes to-
morrow. We need a younger school
Superintendent-One who will inau-
gurate new ideas and push vigOr-
Ously for better school facilities
throughout the county. We want
man of executive ability and who at

a late issue of the Mobile Regis

TOLD IN TYPE.


OO7 HILE riding across the Key
WkW stone State recently in one of
the portable palaces common
10 our great railways, met an old ac-
quaIntance-George Starbuck, now
prominent Philadelphia business man,
who had at one time been a newspa-
per publisher, and the underlined bond
that unites disciples OF the craft had
made us quite warm friends. After
she greeting and queries attendant up
on several months separation were
over, under the reminiscent influence
OF a "Perfecto," Starbuck related the
following experience:
About 10 years ago [ was editor of
the only newspaper in small town
called Ciphon. The village was the
county seat, and as a natural result,
much of the county printing found
its way to my Office. One morning In
the early summer l was seated In my
sauctnm soreiy perplexed. My small
working force had gil it could possibly
attend to in getting out the paper,
when to top it off the Sheriff placed in
any hands an unusually large batch
OF 'sheriff's sales, which had to APP
pear in the next issue of the Sentinel,
as my paper was named AS / sat
there endeayoring 20 think of a way
out of the dilemma, my gloomy medi-
tatiOns were interrupted by the en-

Racing Camels.

Camel races are held regularly in the
south of Algeria, where valuable prizes
are offered for the encouragement of
the breed of racers. and much interest
is taken in their preparation and per-
formanceS.
The racing camels are the result OF
very careful breeding through many
generations, and in size. temper, and
appearance they are so different from
the ordinary beast of burden that they
might almost be considered a different
race of animals.
Perhaps the most conspicuous char
acteriStic of the ordinary camel is its
extreme slowneSs. Nothing on earth
will ever induce it to hurry.
twenty-five dollars will buy n very
fair specimen, but for ''mehari." or
racing camel five to ten times that sum
is required TO effect purchase.
The racer, however, can be depended
on for nine or ten miles an hour. this
pace being kept mp for sixteen or sew
enteen hours without stop.
The pace in a camel race is generally
fast and furious st the beginning. when
all the animals are together, and seem

money expended unwisely. Take the fur
collar shown in this small picture. 1t af-
fords protection TO the shoulders and
leaves exposed the part of her that al
most every woman wishes to protect. Yet
in the broad sweep of the wider portion
as a framing to a delicate yoke was a
very pretty finish, and in the long end car
ried to one side to be caught in the belt
was touch of originality. So fur col
lar is as attractive as this, it is suitable
for almost any kind of gown. Muff
and hat Of fur to match may be worn or
not. The fur hat is very stylish.
When there comes day cold enough
to call for smuggling the face up against
some becoming fur, fashionables hasten
to snuggle, first because it feels good, next
because it's becoming. For several sea-
sons furriers have been trimming one fur
with another, but this year the combina-
tons are more audacious. In the next
sketch is an example, gown of red au-
tomobile cloth, its princess severity en-
phasized by a line of black fox from
shoulder to skirt hem. A snug collar
with boa ends was silver fox. The hat
was trimmed with silver fox, the muff a
combination of both furs, as if to prove
that the wearer knew what she was
about and was not making a scrubby
combination from odds and ends of last
season.
Shoppers will be safe to select one OF
the little pointed boleros, which are the
latest notion shown. This design comes
