GLAD HOME COMING
1t Can Be Made Such By Putting
Our Homes and the City
in Order.
MANY GUESTS EXPECTED
Streets and Alleys Should be Kept
Free from Stones, High Grass
and Weeds.
WORK FOR ALL.

| The managers Of the Southwestern
Wisconsin Fair are putting forth COM
mendable efforts to draw hither during
| fair week hundreds of former residents
of Mineral Point. That very many OF
them will come is beyond a doubt.
And first ard foremost, every resident
of Mineral Point should assist in the
work of putting the town in order for
the reception Of our guests, so that
the home coming may be a glad one
to citizens as well as to those who re-
turn to the home of their youth. All
ordinances relating to the keeping of
premises in a cleanly condition should
be cheerfully complied with by res
idents of the city, as should also the
ordinance relating to keeping the
streets and alleys free from high
grass and weeds. Section of ordi-
nance No. 10 reads as follows:
"Section 4. 1t shall likewise be the
duty Of such owner or occupant to
keep the street or streets, alley or al
leys upon which his premises abut,
upon his own side thereof clear and
free from high grass and weeds, and
to remove such grass and weeds when
cut
1t is the intention of the ordinance
that the burden Of keeping the streets
and alleys clean shall not fall upon
the city, but upon the owners or oc-
cupants of abutting property, who,
should they fail to perform their duty
in the premises, are to have the eX-
pense of clearing the streets and al
leys abutting on their property taxed
against them. Civic pride should
prompt every resident of Mineral
Point to do his or her part towards
putting the city in a clean, present
able condition. Such a condition will
not only give pleasure to all who may
may come within our borders during
home coming week, but will tend to
improve the health and appearance of
the city and be an incentive for fur
ther efforts in the same direction. And
there is other work to be done which
should not be neglected. In many of
the streets and alleys are stones lying
loose, which give discomfort to trav-
elers. Where such stones are raked
together by householders the city au-
thorities, when notified, will see to it
that they are hauled away. A little
tboughtfulness and care in this regard
on the part of residents will greatly
improve the city. Nature has sur
rounded Mineral Point with beautiful
scenery, and ours may be made city
beautiful if all work together in ef-
forts to make it so.

PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
Mrs. Catherine Ford.

died at her home in Dodgeville, on
Wednesday, June 10, 1907, at the age
of 81 years, 10 months and 27 days.
She was in fairly good health until
about two weeks ago, when she fell,
probably from the effects of a para
lytic stroke, and sustained injuries
from which she failed to rally. Mrs.
Ford was kind and loving mother, a
true friend and good neighbor, and
her death will be mourned by large
circle of friends.

POSTAL CLERKS HOURS.
Effort to Make Their Days Averag,

aim Of the department to make the aver.
eight hours. but that fluctuations IN the
volume Of business from day to day made
1t Impossible to TX a hard and fast sched-

the very nature Of the service it was nee

longer than on other days. and that this
would always be the case: but he recom-
mended that when longer hours were
caused by an insufficient force the num-

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

An Improvement In the condition Of the

week. At any rate an improvement II IN

Of any large proportions. still the fact
that a start has been made on the ROAD
toward better things is a source Of real
and genuine encouragement.
Such a diagnosis Of the situation refers
primarily to the New York stock
market, but when things are better on
Is something similar going on in other
centers Of activity. It Is supposed that
during the present week the premium on
currency will disappear in New York, ana
when that happens 1t Is expected thai
currency payments Will be resumed gen,
orally throughout the country. The moral
effect of this is looked upon as Of tho
greatest Importance. and will no doubt be
influential In checking In some degree the
business contraction noticeable as going
on in the large centers.

RuMORS CONFLICT
THE PREMIER DENIES THAT
CROWN PRINCE Is BAN1sHED.
Censorship Is still In Force-Paris
Receives All Reports With
Suspicion.

LONDON. November 25.-The Daily
Mail prints telegram from Premier
Franco Of Portugal denying absolutely
the rumors of the Punishment of Crown
Prince Louis and Of disaftecsion in the
navy.
Looks for Revolution.
PARIS. November 25.-Reports repre-
senting that Portugal is on the eve Of q
revolution are received here with caution.
az dispatches coming directly from that
country have been censored and those
coming indirectly across the frontier are
held more or less under suspicion.
Both the reports of the Punishment Of
the crown prince and the mutiny Of the
neet are denied by the Portuguese en-
oassy here. Nevertheless the making Of
arrests, the suspension of at least one
newspaper. and other repressive measures
Of which Paris has knowledge. taken by
what Premier Franco terms IAN admin
istrative Dictatorship" seem conclusive
that matters in Portugal have entered
upon a critical phase.
This condition undoubtedly was precipi-
tated by the interview with King Carlos.
which was published last week, in which
he announced his absolute faith in Pre-
the premier to choose the time for the
holding Of the election Of the cortes.
The parliamentary opposition. which has
been stirring up the country for months
past, expected by a gigantic demonstra-
ton planned for January next to force
the king to dismiss Premier Franco. but
his majesty's bold Endorsement of the die
tatorship removed this hope abruptly and
caused the consolidation Of the entire OPP
position in the direction of republicanism.
Senior Lima, the proprietor of the
newspaper Vanguardia of Lisbon, which
was suppressed, Is now in Paris, and con-
siders that a republic Is inevitable and
that the issue will be decided before jan
uary L He declares that the people are
hostile to a dynasty and that the army
Ii disaffected.
IF the king cedes." he said, there will
be peaceful republic. as in the case OF
Brazil. If he does not there will be a
revolution, with all its violent conse-
quences."
A correspondent Of the Temps, who has
just returned after IN investigation OF
affairs In Portugal. and who has had in
terviews with King Carlos. Premier
Franco, and ex-Premier Castro. ex-Min-
lister Of Justice and Worship dAlpoim,
and Senior Vilhena, councillor Of state.
and other opposition leaders. makes clear
that the situation is the outgrowth of
scandalous political conditions and affairs
which have been endured for years.
