Lose Their Home

AT half past one on Friday morning
last, Viroqua was roused from slumber
by the dreaded fire alarm In short
time the town was astir and the fire
company was at the scene of the con.
flagration which proved to be the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Oswald in Second
ward Flames had already obtained
such headwav that efforts TO save the
building or los contents were of no avail
Everything was burned with the excep-
ton of q few articles previously dragged
out. Even the most of the clothing of
the family was lost The origin of the
fire remains mystery, but is supposed
to have been from a defective chimney.
There was small insurance on the
building and also on its contents The
family have the sympathy of Viroqua
people which took a practical form on
Friday, and resulted in many useful and
timely contributions from every source.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oswald have taken up
their residence in the Suttle house
A small blaze occurred at the residence
Of Mrs. M. A. Sweger in the First ward,
about eleven o'clock on Saturday morn
ing, resulting in some damage 10 the
building caused by the work Of extiu-
guishing the fire. The blaze started
from pipe which passed through a
partition.

The Bachelors, Dance

The grand ball of the season was that
held at Opera hall last Wednesday even
ing under auspices of Viroqua bachelors.
The hall was tastefnlly decorated ia
Oriental designs, and provided with
sofas, settees and quiet and comfortable
corners where the weary might rest F."
The arrangements of the hall were
changed in order that the stage might
he used as a refreshment stand and the
orchestra was placed at the north end
Themusic furnished by Hackett's or
chestra of Baraboo, was superb We
understand that fifty numbers were sold
at this ball. The bachelors are to be
congratulated, but if, rs was remarked
at the late banquet, the bachelors of our
city are loath to throw any obstacles in
the path of progressive womanhood, they
should be cautious. A few entertain
ments with such enchanting environ
ments might play disasterous havoc in
the ranks of bachelordom.

Inke On Rlrny Saleanists.

One night last week. FIVE men thor
oughly disguised as women and armed
with hatchets went to play the celebrat-
ed Mrs. Nations game. They made the
rounds of the saloons frightening owners
by their threats Of destruction unless
they immediately closed The request
was at most places promptly complied
with, even though it was before the
hour for closing. The saloon element
was very much excited until it appears
that the whole affair WAS a practical
joke and the supposed women wanted a
a little fun and found it.

THE BEST ON THE MARKET.
Avalanche Copper Ore Reported Of the Best Quality
and Satisfactory 10 Projectors.

Mr.. d. c. Dillon, manager of the Ava
lanche copper mines, writes the La Fargo
Enterprise regarding affairs there He
says: The load of copper was all right
and is the best grade of copper they have
had in Chicago for sometime 1t is a
great deal better than the Lake Superior
ore, or any that comes from Missouri.
1t contains both gold and silver in small
amounts and lots of copper for which we
receive let's per lb, for the metallic con-
tents ala the smelters want 1000 tons
at once for which they will pay cash.
We think the farmers had all better
hunt for copper as there is lots in the
Kickapoo country We will ship some
ore next week from Jeff Perkins farm,
upper Clinton township. The mines on
the Allen farm are good and we will
soon send some ore from here. This is
an east and west vein that runs through
the Allen farm and will soon be very
productive, and without doubt will be a
good mineral country; all we ws,;s is
lots of miners to work and deve,ope the
ranges The ore seems TO lag the same
as the bed ore on the south of the Wis
cOnsin river. The ranges seem TO follow
the east aud west spurs and then the
big ridges; the ore lays in the trap rock
b nd magnesia limestone"
