Welded at Early Morn.

Yesterday morning. Sept. rs, 1907, at
6 o'clock, VIM. Vickerman, Jr., and
Miss Zoe Harker were united in mar
rage by Rev. nj. Chase at the home of
the BRIDES father, Mr.. Jas. Harker.
Notwithstanding there was reason for
anticipating this in the course Of human
events, it was so quietly planned that
there was the charm of surprise to the
community after all.
The bride and groom have been resi-
dents of Mineral Point from early
youth. They are highly esteemed, and
most worthily so, because of their many
excellent qualities. The Tribune speaks
for one and all when it wishes Mr.. and
Mrs. Vickerman long, happy and pros
porous life.
They left by train an hour after the
knot tying on brief tour after which
they will be at home in this city.

city owned said farm she could dam the
Pecatonica river running through the
same in such way as t. form a large
lake, lay out park in connection
herewith, and thereby create one of
the finest summer resorts in the entire
country. The grand and romantic
scenery surrounding the whole would
enhance the attractiveness. People of
wealth would be enticed hither from all
quarters and eagerly invest in small
tracts of ground on which to build sum
mer cottages. The balance OF the
farm would, as natural consequence,
sell at very high figure.
In addition to all this said citizen
points out the advantages, in the way
of power, of having such large body
of water adjacent to the city.

Mining Convention.

There has been very prompt and
gratifying response to the call for the

will issue some substantial and placti-
cal beneficial results for all interested
in lead and zinc ore production and its
conversion into manufactured products.
At the meeting there will be brief,
practical talks by well informed mining
men, on the present condition of the in
dustry and the best way out. Causes
and results are the two vital points,
and these will be discussed fully aud
freely. Ore producers. ore buyers and
smelter men will alternately state their
cases.
Among those who are expected to
attend and offer information or suggest
ions are representative men from every
city and town in the whole Illinois
Wisconsin Iowa region, including Con-
gresham Murphy, Senator Whitehead,
Hon. W. A. Jones, w. F. Strasser, A.

rounding towns.

Missouri Miners.

There arrived in this city on Mon
days 20 p. m. train twenty or more
miners from Missouri. After due at
tention to the demands of the inner
man, they proceeded to the Tripoli
mine where they have engaged to work.
1t is understood they are of Russian
nationality.
The local conditions which brought
about this importation of labor might
possibly result in cause for regret.

MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2s 1907

j. H. Tyack and the writer are good
friends but they hopelessly differ on lrl
Hicks as weather prophet, and never
meet but what they argue the matter.
The writer believes Irl is dead and that
when alive his prophecies, like any 9TH
err long rangers, were guess work. Mr..
Tyack believes Irl to be alive and able
to foretell with reasonable accuracy and
by real scientific principles what the
weather will be, twelve months in adj
vance. Hicks, dead, or alive by proxy,
hit the storm we had in the past week,
but the fact remains that he is simply
guesser, bound to strike it sometime,
and on this occasion he did.
In commenting on the excellence of
Mineral Point S fair this year the Tri-
bune dwelt on the quality and merit of
the exhibits, rating them as equal of
any to be seen in the middle west. One
result at the late state fair bears out
this claim. Henry Chapman's two-year-
old Clydesdale that captured the blue
ribbon at Mineral Point, came away
from the state fair bedecked in the
same colors, notwithstanding its COM
petitors were regarded as the best the
country could produce. Any article or
animal taking first premium at Mineral
Point captured first honors wherever
else exhibited, so far as heard from.
