Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1901-07-11

she has been engaged In teaching |
near Eau Claire. After July 18th her
home will be at Augusta, Wis where
her husband is q leading farmer.
The Fennimore Times has decid-
ed from henceforth to exclude patent
medicine reading notices from It's
columns. A rule to have such no
tees grouped together in the paper
would be better, in our judgment.
On the expiration Of existing con-
tracts The Tribune expects to IN
augurate such rule and hopes the
papers in Grant, Iowa and Lafayette
county will do the same.
Mrs. Annie Treweek Jones ar
rived here from Arizona on the 3rd
with her baby, for II visit with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. n. Treweek.
This is Mrs. Jones first visit to her
girlhood home since she left us as II
bride more than a year ago. 1t Is
gratifying to learn that both herself
and her husband have found health
and worldly prosperity in their new
home.
Capt. II. l.. Farr, soldier, politi-
clan and hnstling citizen OF Madison,
spent the first days of this week IN
this vicinity in the interest OF the
Mccormick Machine Co. He was
ouartered at the L. $. Hotel, and
found the rations ample ana GOOD.
He found time to call on his old
acquaintance, the Tribune senior,
and recount some incidents OF war
and politics of which he has Il rich
store, much to our pleasure.
Miss Elsie Grafton, dauhgter OF Mr..
VIM Grafton, was struck by the 1ail-
ing limb az tree at the Gribble
Grove celebration during the storm
on the afternoon of the 4th. The
limb struck her on the head, neck
and chest. For time she was UNI
conscious and serious results were
feared, but she soon rallied ana II
phvsician called on Friday found her
injuries to be only IA scalp wound and
Commissions. from which she Is now
about recovered. Reports that other
persons were injured at the same
time and place are incorrect.
American people generally agree
with the Dodgeville Chronicle in
commencing the tendency to IN
troduce the study of various Ian
guages. such as French. Spanish,
Dutch, Norwegian, Sweed, Italian,
Comanche, Gypsy and Nolapuk' for
it is highly important that our
young men and Misses, on meeting
any of those peoples be able to con-
verse with them tluently." Further,
as the Dodgeville editor suggests, it
is to be hoped that soon the teaching
Of English will be added to our
school curriculum, that high school
graduates may attain Il degree OF
proficiency enabling them to write
English intelligently.

The base ball game between Min
eral Point and Cobb at Rewey on the
4th was somewhat disappointing
affair. In the 9th inning the game
was interrupted by the storm and the
teams left the field with the under
standing that the game was to be
continued after the storm. AT the
end of the 3rd inning the score was :
to in favor of our boys, but by one
or two wild throws on their part the
score was : and when the storm
came. Later in the afternoon, when
the weather permitted the game to
be finished, the umpire had gone
home and the Cobb nine could not be
persuaded to go on the field again
at any price; not because they didn't
want the money. for they offered TO
take first money and stay oil the
field
After failing to get the Cobb nine
out. the management Of the celeora-
ton decided 10 leave the decision to
