An in1ovsfios At Hotei Royal

On last Sunday the Hotel Royal was
the scene Of very pleasant and citi
fed event. While many of the towns
people and outside guests were seateC
in the spacious and attractive dining
room enjoying an elaborate dinner, such
as would have done credit to Hotel Pts
ter, the Twilight orchestra, consisting
of eight pieces, rendered sweet strains
Of music that pleased beyond measure.
1t was even suggested by some of the
guests, that were it not for its being
the Sabbath there might be strong
probability of tripping the light far
tastic."
That the Hotel Royal is up-to-date in
every respect is conceded. Its beautiful
and commodious Office and dining room.
with all it's other apartments to har-
monize, its unexcelled culinary depart
ment together with it's congenial host
and hostess all contribute to making it
a modern hotel of which Mineral Point
may well be proud.
Obituary Charles n. Hosking.
Charles H. Hosking was born in the
town of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, Jan.
81, 1874, and died at St. Anthony's
Hospital in Rockford, ILL., Jan. z, 1907.
He was married to Miss Mary Murrish
March rs, 1896. Most of his life was
spent in farming in the town of Miner
al Point, though on account of failing
health in recent years he found it nee
essary to leave the farm and lived for
sometime in Rockford, Ill. He is sur
vived by his wife, his father, Mr.. Will
liam Hosking of Dodgeyille, three sis
tiers, Mrs. Chas. Phillips, Dodgeville,
Mrs. Robert Williams, Rockford, and
Miss Kate Hosking, Dodgeyille, and by
one brother, Mr.. William Hosking of
Rockford. These were all present at the
| time OF his death.
| The iuntimely death of this noble
young man brings genuine mourning.
In his home he was kindness itself. He
never left place Of employment where
he might not have gone back at any
time he saw fit. Recently he passed
through series of misfortunes, but he
was always hopeful, making the best Of
everything. For some days before hia
death he realized that his end was near,
and his friends find great comfort in
the faef that he expressed his readiness
for that great change. Over and over
he said he was going home and going to
mother Often he would smile and point
upward with his hands. Though his life
here was short, not few lives are r;en-
err in the treasures of the heart, not a
few have truer and nobler ideals, be-
cause he lived.
The funeral took place Thursday af-
ternoon at the home Of his father in
Dodgewlle, and was conducted by Rev.
w. F. Tomlinson, pastor of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. The remains
were laid to rest in the East Side GEM
etery al Dodgeville.

PROXIES STILL UNFINISHED
Illinois Central stockholders Adj
iourn Until This
Afternoon.

CHICAGO oct. ls.-The meeting OF the,
stockholders Of the Illinois Central rail-
road was today again postponed, this time
until 2:SO O'Clock Saturday afternoon. No
action OF any kind was taken
The delay was caused by the inability
OF the committee on proxies to present Its
report. When the stockholders met today
the committee had only reached the letter
III and at that, had considered merely
the domestic proxies. None Of these re-
ceived from abroad had been touched.
The delay had become very irksome to
Mr.. Hartman, who said today that II was
necessary for him to be in New York on
Monday. but he did not see how he could
leave Chicago before the conclusion Of the
stockholders meeting.
It was officially announced today by Pres
ident Harahan that John j. Mitchell,
president of the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings bank Of this city, WIN be Mr.. Harrl-
mans candidate for the directorship now
held by Mr.. Fish. Both Mr.. Hartman and
Mr.. Fish were at the bank TO confer with
Mr.. Mitchell who is a personal friend Of
both men. They were at the bank at the
same time but they did not meet.
The delay in reaching q vote on directors
has caused many of the small stockhold-
ers to abandon the meetings. Not over
fifty were present at the meeting today
and large numbers OF those who attended
the opening session have already left for
their homes.

NATIONAL GIN BANK PLANS
Will Enter Into Possession of ola
Customs House in the rail-
of zoos,

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S--The plans Of the
National City bank for remodeling the old
custom house at wall and William streets,
in the heart Of the financial district into
gigantic banking house, have been outlined
by Vice President Frank A. Vanderlip.
The bank expects to gain possession from
the government not later than November l
and the work OF remodeling will begin inn
mediately thereafter. The building ready
for occupancy, will probably be turned
over TO its new owners early in the fall of
1908.
The architects drawings, now in em-
bryonio FORM provide for a main entrance
Of imposing proportions. The great col
umns Of granite that have given tone to
the street for more than generation, are
to be kept intact and no other changes are
to be made In the exterior which would in
any way change the general architectural
features Of the structure
However, the top story, which is twenty
years younger than the other parts of the
building, is to be removed and four new
stories added in its place.
These will be constructed in exact con-
formity with the plans OF the original archi-
lecture
The distinctive feature Of the new home
of the National City bank is to be the
main banking room, OCCUPYING the center
space formerly used by custom house clerks
and brokers for the entry OF merchandise,
and in addition practically all Of the block
wide remodelled ground floor OF the build
ing. No ornate fixtures arc to to installed
but instead every detail is to be worked out
in marble in harmony with the tone OF the
building When completed no other bank
room in the world will approach this one
I'm size and convenience and location
It is a matter Of common knowledge that
the ambition of the National City bank is
for closer relations with the United States
government and that for fruition of the
hopes of its officers and directors depen-
dence is placed in the sentiment for cur
rency reform legislation which might re-
suit in the establishment Of a great central
bank on the lines of the banks of England
and France.
