Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1904-01-07
NUMBER j
New {. NJ. & st. Paul Time Table.

|
The following side-winder was
taken from last weeks Darlington
Democrat: "Our readers will please
note that we publish this week new
time table for the railroad trains run
ming through Darlington. This table
is the latest issued by the st. Paul
folks, and we hope II will reach our
readers before another change Is
made. People on the Mineral Point
division will want to know when
trains leave, so they can get out OF
this darned country and go where
there is u railroad service worthy the
name. This table, however, is not
much of IA guide to the time when
trains run, for they run when they
happen to come along. II they do
not get here on time they get here as
soon thereafter rs may be, and the
people who want dead sure thing
OF getting away will do well to come
to town as soon ms they can, bring
food with them, and sit down at the
depot and wait till u train comes
along, 1t is unsafe to buy tickets
good for one day only, because there
may be no train that day. It's safer
to get on when the train comes and
hand the price OF n ride to the con-
ductor. The system of time tables
now in vogue on this division are
made up each day. The train dis
patcher learns in the morning about
the time trains will be likely to run
sends word ahead in tho form of
new and revised time table, made up
to suit, good for that day only Then
the freight agent here must hustle
out and post notices"
1904 leap year! But, says the Re-
public, County Clerk Thomas and
the preachers Of DodgeviIle can't ex-
pect any great rush as far ns that
city is concerned, her girls being
pronounced finer than silk and not
in need Of any leap year at all to en-
able them to escape the old maid
circle. In view OF this conclusion
the Republic suggests that u nice
ribbon be tied around the whole OF
leap year aud sent to Mineral Point.
Don't do 1t. 1t would rob you Of all
your nice young men, who are now,
and have been for a long time, wear
ing out horses rigs, aud risk ing the':
necks by dark midnight rides, goad-
ed on with the hope Of making them
selves solid with young ladies Of this
city. II the suggestion were carried
out, these wild PUSHES would become
more furious, aud the consequences
might be terrible-broken constitu-
tons, suicides and what not.
Married. Mt ST. Paul's Catholic
church In this city, Wednesday
morning, Jan, G, 1894, Mr.. Charles
Carroll, OF Benton, and Miss Nina
Tonkin, daughter OF MIR. and Mrs.
Ben Tonkin, of this city, Rev. Father
O'Keefe officiating. OF this young
couple 1t can be truthfully said; they
are numbered among our most re-
spectacle young people, endowed
with intelligence, industry and in
tegrity, That each has done well Ii
the prevailing opinion, and that they
may partake Of "a long, happy, sue
cessful life is the hope Of the Tribune
and all other friends.

the near future, providing orr citi-
