Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1900-12-06

The effects of VIM. Il. Gundry's s
recent trip TO Chicago is seen in the
large addition of seasonable new
goods being displayed by the popu-
ular firm of G.. tS G..
Iowa county's population, as deter
mined by the late L. 5. census, is
23,ll4. In 1890 it was 22ll7, SO we
have gained 997 in ten years, about
Al %, while the average increase in
the state during the same time is
22ia95.
Plutteville evidently believes in

for the physical development of

An observing subscriber calls at
tention to the coincidence that the
lst and 2nd wards of Mineral Point,
which usually give republican ma
jorities, have five churches and but ?
saloons, while the 3rd and 18th wards.
which usually go demcratic, have II
saloons and no churches.

Greatness Recognised.

The following under flaming head
lines, and accompanied by picture
of Mr.. Pollard, appeared in the Mil
waukee Wesconsiu last Saturday
Levi WILDER Pollard, district attor-
ney of Iowa county, Wis, has been
appointed under the Dawes commits
sion as appraiser of public lands in
Indian territory and will report for
duty Dec. 3. Mr.. Pollard is promi-
neut member Of the bar of Iowa
county and is now closing his second
term as district attorney. His adj
ministration of the office is acknowl-
edged to be the most economical in
the county's history. One OF the
main features of his administration
was the ferreting out of S500.0OO OF
taxable personal property which
had heretofore been held back by
tax payers.
Mr.. Pollard is known throughout
southern Wisconsin for his oratori-
cal ability, and his poetical writings
of juvenile character verse have been
acknowledged by critics to compare
favorably with the writings of the
foremost authors in thu line. His
humorous readings wi / be missed
in society and public gatherings.
Mr.. Pollard graduated with the
law class of 1895 of the University
of Wisconsin,. Although not yet 30
years of age he is prominently
known in politics throughout the
state"
Reading the above we realize how
true it is that "a prophet is not with
out honor except in his own coun-
try The loss to Iowa county and
the state of citizen of such rare
abilities is severe, but there is COM
pensatiou in the thought that what
we lose is gained by the general
government and the poor Indians,
who are to have the benefit Of such
great talents in adjusting complex
affairs between them. Congressman
Babcock is presumably entitled to
the credit of securing this valuable
assistant for Commissioner Jones in
administering the Indian Bureau

Eight Buildings and Contents De-
strOyed.
st. Paul, Sept. Fire bbroke out in
the machinery department of the state
fair shortly before midnight last night.
and in less than two hours upward Of
$4,000 worth Of farm machinery, inn
plements, buggies. wagons, ETC., were
destroyed, together with the buildings
that covered them. The total loss is
estimated at between $4,000 and $780,
900. 1t falls entirely upon the exhib-
itors. who owned their own buildings.
The state or the state fair association
loses nothing. The fire started from
an unknown cause in the office Of the
Crane & tlrdway, st. Paul. exhibit. It
was discovered by one Of the watch
men about 1850. It took some time to
spread the alarm through the grounds.
and very little could be done when all
the men at hand were aroused. The
fair grounds are absolutely without
fire protection. Long before the first
apparatus arrived the flames were
spreading along the row Of buildings
The flames jumped from one to another
with lightning .rapidity. and the heat
was so great that little could be done
in the way Of saving the exhibits just
placed for next weeks fair. Finally
when seven Of the structures had sue
cumbed. the eighth was torn down. The
ruins OF the RACED building subsequent
ly took fire and were destroyed with
the rest, but the spread Of the confa-
grafton was checked.

SKELETON MYSTERY.

Discovery Of Bones Leads TO Sur
misses Of a Tragedy of Years Ago.
La Crosse, Wis. Sept. 1. - A deep
mystery surrounds the finding of three
skeletons at Bell Center. small town
in the Kickapoo valley. They were
found while tearing down a house
which is about forty years old. No one
seems to be able to give any light on
the mystery. but the prevailing opinion
is that the skeletons are those of three
persons who were murdered a long
time ago. old residents having only a
slight remembrance of the affair. The
bones are well preserved. An investi-
cation by the authorities will follow.

WITHOUT COAL.

Serious Condition Confronttnr the
People of Newfoundland.
st. Johns. N. F., Sept. 1. = A coal
famine now threatens the colony Of
Newfoundland. The establishment Of
a large smelling enterprise at Sydney
absorbs the greater part Of the Cape
Breton output, and the failure of Reds
mines leaves the colony without any
local product. Sydney coal has ad-
vanced 80 per cent and there is prob
ably not enough to supply the winters
demand. Mr.. Reid. the railway con-
tractor. is likely to be most affected,
his trains and steamers absorbing fully
a third Of the entire colonial import.
