PETITION
For Paving of Part of Mechanic Street
Is Being Signed and VIII Go
to Council.

The property owners on Mechanic
street from Third to Second viii likely
ask the city council to pave that section
of the street on the two-thirds plan. It
is stated that all except one has signed
the petition, and it is likely he will do
SO, rs the cost to him will not be, it is
said, more than s35 or $40, and he can
well afford to do so, as he has property
for rent at that point. That is a very
pretty section of the city and ought to
be paved.

Mrs. Hannah Nicholson,

another of the old settlers in Mifilin
township, passed away last Thursday.
Her maiden name was Hannah
Brown. She was born in the county
of Westmorelond, England, on the
9th day OF December, 1915. She
crossed the Atlantic in 1910 and re-
sided six years in Pennsylvania. In
1916 she moved to Mifiin, Wisconsin,
in which village she lived for nine
years, and then moved to farm about
two miles east of that town, where she
lived until death summoned her away
on December II, 1903, at the ripe old
age of So years, months and 7 days.
The interment took place on Saturday
last in Miffiin cemetery, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev. w.
7. Walker. She was married to Geo.
Nicholson in 1897, and OF this mar
riage there were nine children, four
girls and five boys. Her husband
died thirteen years ago, ond three OF
her children have also died. She
leaves to mourn their loss six child
ren-three boys and three girls,
twenty-nine grandchildren, and thirty
nine great-grandchildren. The de-
ceased is exceedingly we'll spoken OF
as good neighbor and consistent
Christian. For seventy years she was
a member of the church. During her
residence in Mifiiin she was member
OF the Primitive Methodist Church.
For several years she had been una
BILE to leave her home, but to the very
last retained the use of all her facul-
ties, and was affectionately interested
not only in her descendants, OF which
there are seventy-four, but in every
thing that pcrtained to the well-being
OF the community. She has left be-
hind beautiful testimony, emphasiz-
ed by a consistent Christian life. We
are quite sure We express the feeling
OF the community when we say that to
the bereft ones all extend their heart
felt sympathies.

Proves OF Great service.
At about 7:30 O'Clock on Saturday
morning, December l9, fire broke out
in what is known as the bread room,
situated in the center building of the
Iowa County Asylum, The room was
used some years ago for flour
room and for that purposed was lined
with boards. The fire was discovered
by some of the women who were
washing dishes, and one OF them
rushed out of the room and gave the
alarm, supposing her clothing was on
fire. Superintendent Perkins and
others beat back the flames with
"blaze killers until streams of
water from the water works could
be brought to play on the flames.
Persons living in the neighbor-
hood of the Asylum promptly re-
sponded to the call for assist
auce. Dodgeville was notified by
telephone of the fire, and the fire com
pany of that city asked to be in
readiness to come If wanted. The
two streams of water thrown upon the
fire proved etfectual in extinguishing
it, and half an hour from the time
the alarm was given all danger was
was over. Mr.. +. j. Perkins, was
was in Mineral Point on Monday.
He said that the fire is supposed
to have originated where the steam
pipes enter the wall of the cen
ter building. He regards it as for
tunate escape from big fire, and
feels grateful to all who rendered
prompt assistance. The charred con-
dition af the room to which the fire
was fortunately confined, shows that
only few moments delay in dealing
with the fire would have resulted
disastrouslv to the buildings.
