Applied Truth.

There is q story told by an army chaplain
of a time when his brigade bivouacked
upon an open field. each soldier wrapped in
his blanket. and nothing above but the
cold, cloudy sky. During the night two
or three inches of snow fell, and IN the
morning he arose and looked about him.
All over that field were little mounds like
new-made graves each covered with a
dra perry of Snow, and every sleeping soldier
lay as if in "a winding sheet of death. While
he was gazing upon the strange sight here
and there a man began to stir, rise, shake
himself and stand forth in momentary
amazement at the sight. 1t was a symbol
of the resurrection. and failed not to make
its impression upon the beholder.

Obifuary-JOhn Stephenson.

AS briefly stated in last weeks
Tribune, the death of Mr.. John
Stephenson occurred in Milwaukee
March 90, 1905, resulting from com
plicated causes following severe
attack of the grip. His illness was of
such short duration that the news of
his death came as II shock to the
whole community. He was in the
sixty first year Of his age.
Deceased was born in Skipsea, in
the county of Yorkshire, England,
Oct. 4 1874. He came to America in
the fall of 1868, coming direct to
Mineral Point and making this place
his home from that date up to the
time of his death. He was united in
marriage to Miss Susan Matthews on
Nov. s. 1870 To them were born
twelve children, three of whom died
in infancy, and one daughter, Mrs.
Annie Kitto, died March 4th of the
present year. His wife, three sons
and five daughters, and one brother,
William. of Galena, ILL.,, survive to
mourn his death, all of whom were
present at the funeral with the ex-
ception of one son, Wesley, who is in
Arizona.
Joseph Stephenson, son of the
deceased, went in to Milwaukee on
Thursday morning and arrived home
with the remains on Friday Moons
train. The funeral was held on Sun
day afternoon at two O'Clock from
the home. The services were con-
Quoted by the Revs. Hardcastle and
Walker.

The Primary Election Test.

The new primary election law had
its first test last week, but in such IA
mild way that it would be unfair to
pass judgment. OF course those who
opposed the system from its incep-
tion are criticizing it to an unreason-
able degree. A fair opportunity for
testing the law is all its advocates
ask. 1t should be remembered that
large number, quite likely II ma
jority, of the cities OF the state elect
only ward officers this spring. as is
the case in Mineral Point. Few in
deed are the nspirants for these
hankless positions, and therefore
the circulating OF primary homina
ton papers was left entirely to those
who might voluntarily go about II in
the interest of someone not anxious
for the favor. In several instances
no papers were circulated.
officials are to be elected, and in the
large cities where interest and rival
ry in ward affairs are intense, the
law worked charmingly, and re
ceives highly favorable comment
from the press of those places. Even
some papers that fought the law
during last seasons campaign have
admitted that the law has merit.
When the greater campaign for
the nomination Of c. unity, legislative
and state offices comes on there will
be interest enough to give the law a
test. It's friends are conf
dent it will then prove a success, and
the people will get what they want.
