Base ball at fair grounds in this
city Saturday afternoon, between
our high school nine and that of
Cobb. 1t should prove n closely con-
tested game, as the Cobb boys have
been practicing diligently, while our
boys show respectable ability.
Mr.. 0. G. Rewey was in our city
Saturday. He reports his father, the

quite sick, but slightly better at that
time. 1t is the hope of numerous
friends here that his recovery will
be rapid.
-EX-Assemblyman b. Holland
paid the Tribune short but very
pleasant call Saturday. He's bust
ling stock buyer these days. Hollan-
dale, he says, is keeping up with the
times in every particular.
}. b. Tregilgus, formerly of this
place, has favored this office with a
copy of the Tribune, paper publish
ed at Greedy, Colo. 1t is well print
ed sheet and shows that the people
of that section are abreast of the
times in every particular.
--Seibel Bros. pony and dog show
which appeared here last Saturday
was of more than ordinary merit.
The weather was unfavorable for IA
large attendance, but everyone who
did attend pronounce it the best show
of any kind that has visited Mineral
Point this year.
Real estate has changed owners
to a considerable extent in this city
within the last week. Joseph Deller

ward to w. J. Penhallegon; Mr.. PEN
hallegon sold his former residence
in fourth ward to George Thomas !;
Mr.. Thomas sold his home in second
ward to Ed. Jones; and Mr.. Jones
disposed of his home in fourth ward

On the Tribune table is copy of
the Lodi Enterprise. In it is found
over a column devoted to the high
school Of that place, of which S.
Miles Thomas of this city has recent
ly assumed the principalship. Aside
from Mr.. Thomas, Iowa county Is
represented on the corps of teachers
by Miss Frances Elgar, of Rewey,
who is an assistant in the high school
department, having charge of litera-
ture and also has supervision of mus
ic and drawing in the grades, and
Miss Joan Jacka, of this city, who
has charge of the 3rd aud 4th grades.
There are enrolled 1856 pupils, 1903 be-
ing in the high schol, of which num-
Der 80 are tuitioners. Lodi's school
is rated as one of the best in the
state for town of that size, and we
are confident that the teachers en-
ployed from this section will do well
their part in maintaining for the
school its proud distinction.
Accounts of fall strawberries in
the east and also near Madison have
appeared in the papers within the
past week. Now it is the Tribune's
turn to report: Monday morning
Mrs. Calvin Baxter, residing about
four miles southeast of this city, ex-
hibited in this Office quart or more

which bore abundantly last June.
They are of the Enchance variety
and are salf-fertilizing. Mr.. Ba xter

the briaring forth of this second
crop. The mess brought in was pre-
scented by Mrs. Baxter to her agec
