Woodmen UnveiI Monuments.

Upwards of 100 Woodmen of the World
of this city and Black Hawk, marched
to the cemetaries of the Odd Fellows,
Catholics and the city Sunday morning
and unveiled monuments which had been
erected to the memory of VIM. H. Kirts,
Martin Noonan, John H. Tierney and
John Tabb, members of the order who
had died within the past two years.
Each member of the lodge carried a
beautiful bouquet of flowers and these
were strewn about the graves after the
monuments were unveiled. The cere-
mony at the graves of the departed
neighbors was simple but impressive,
the services being conducted by the
officers of Central and Black Hawk
lodges. Flowers were also placed upon
the graves ofJ. A. VanAucken, Richard
Griffith, Isaac Johns and F. Mclaughlin
to whom monuments had been erected
some time ago. AS the Woodmen
marched to the various cemeteries the
Central City band played sacred and ap-
propriate music. A number of citizens
went to the graveyards to witness the
ceremonies.

Veru Favorable Report from Old Property.

The Four Mile Gulch Gold Mining
company, operating group of 26 claims
in Enterprise district, is making good
progress in the development of the pro-
perties. The tunnel is now in 100 feet
and a cross-cut has been driven 243 feet
to the Democrat shaft, which has been
sunk from the top of the mountain.
This shaft is down 500 feet and the tun-
mel connection will be made at this point
when the bottom levels will be driven
east and west. All work is being done
through the tunnel at the present time
but as soon as the shaft is repaired and
placed in the proper condition the waste
rock will be hoisted to the surface and
the ore run out through the tunnel.
The ore in the levels of the Democrat
exists in good-sized veins, in the bottom
levels the vein being 2 l-2 feet in width,
east and west of the shaft. This ore is
of a concentrating variety and runs be-
tween $500 and $1,000 to the ton.
South Omaha people are interested in
the Four Mile Gulch Gold Mining COM
pany and have been working the pro-
perty steadily since last fall. The group
has always had good record and doubt
less this record will be maintained with
the course of development now being
pursued under the efficient management
of John Brohl, an old and experienced
mining man.

WORKING West Perrin Mine.

Jones & Jones have abandoned the
old shaft on the Perrin mine and are
now fixing up the west shaft prepara-
tory to working the vein through this.
This shaft does not make rs much
water as the other two they have been
working and can be sunk easier, and
besides the good ore in this vein seems
to lie to the west of the main shaft.
Good shipments have been made for the
past six months from this property and
there is every reason to believe that
this will continue. In the new work.
ings. A whim will be erected and the
shaft cleaned out Immediately.

ANOTHER SAD
NINE ACCIDENT

Sherman Poole, well known miner of
this city, was killed in the West Not
taway mine yesterday morning. He
had gone to work and was climbing
down the ladder way, when at the 100
foot point the landing gave way as he
stepped upon it and he was precipitated
down the shaft distance of IT'S feet.
Death from all appearances of the
body was instantaneous. He was badly
bruised and crushed about the head and
face.
He must have been dead ten or
twelve hours when discovered in the
shaft. He was working in the mine
alone. When he did not come home to
supper at five o'clock yesterday after
noon and failed to show up by seven,
it was suspected that something was
wrong and Frank Poole, brother of the
dead man and his son, Roy, went to the
mine to Investigate. They went down
the ladder way to where the body was
lying and, strange as it may seem, pas
sed the point where the unfortunate
man went through the plat, without
falling through as would naturally be
supposed. They did not know how
Sherman Poole met his death until they
were climbing back and noticed the
broken boards at the landing. The
body was brought to this city and was
received at the undertaking parlors of
E. L. Harris.
Sherman Poole was 81 years of age.
He was born in Illinois and came to this
county about ten years ago. About two
years ago he buried his wife. Besides a
little daughter about four years of age
a father and brother, Frank, residing in
this city, and two or three brothers re-
siding in the east survive him. Deceas-
ed was very popular in lodge circles, be-
ing member of the Knights of Pyth-
las, A. o. U. W., and the w. F. of M.
He was a man who was we'll thought of
in the community and had large circle
of friends who will mourn his sad and
untimely death.
The funeral will be held Sunday after
noon from the late residence of the de-
ceased at 1 O'Clock. Services will be
held at the house. Rev. R. H. Forres-
ter will officiate.

Nine Graduates.

Never before have the eyes of Gen.
tral City audience feasted upon SO en-
trancing bevy of feminine beauty as
held the gaze of the several hundred
people who gathered at the opera house
last Thursday evening to enjoy the ex-
erclses Of the graduating class of 1907.
There were seated upon the stage, sur
rounded by beautiful decorations taste
fully arranged, seven girls and two boys
who had completed their school work
here and were waiting for theirdiplomas.
These, were Gertrude M. Carbis, Emma
L. Cheatley, Mary B. Slattery, Fannie
F. Comfort, Robertann Barbee, Cert
rude 9. Flaherty, Grace @. Pascoe, Roy
d. McCallister and Wilson Todd.
Each number of the program while
brief was well delivered and entertain
ing to the highest degree. No attempt
was made by the graduates (for which
well deserved credit must be given) to
change the present system of govern
ment in any way, outline a policy to be
pursued in case the nation should declare
war against Japan, nor were weighty
papers read upon the solution of the
race problem or advice given as to what
methods to adopt in the completion of
the Panama canal. The graduates in
their various numbers seeming willing
toilet older heads attend to these matters
Aside from the addresses of salutator-
ian and valedictorian, the graduates
read papers upon subjects pertaining to
their class that teemed with wit and
humor. A well trained High school
chorus sang two songs that brought loud
applause. Rev. R. H. Forester made
one of the best and most timely talks an
audience would care to listen to. Rev.
Mr.. Forester always has something to
say when he gets up to address gather
ing and moreover possesses the faculty
OF Knowing how to say it. His remarks
were indeed interesting and to the point.
Ben p. Thomas, president of the school
board presented the graduates with their
diplomas and as each member of the
class stepped forward to receive the
document he or she was greeted with
hearty applause from the audience.

Ipava 200 Feet Deep.

The 1pava mine situated in the
Russell mining district, is now zoo feet
deep and sinking is going on rapidly.
The shaft is of good, large size and
when operations commence in earnest
the mine will be in good shape for a
continuous production. During the
sinking some very good looking ore has
been encountered and every once in a
while another pocket is found. After
the regular distance is sunk levels will
be driven little ways and with the
levels above will furnish ample ground
for large operations.

Boosters Defeat Fratefnal Union.

Sunday afternoon at the city park the
opening ball game of the season was
played between the Fraternal Union of
Denver and the Central City Boosters.
At the outset it looked as though the
visitors would be shining mark for the
home team. The Fraternal Union were
the first at bat and famed out as fast as
the batters stepped up to the home
plate. In the last half of the first in
ming the Centrals had an easy time hit
ting the pitcher of the Denver team and
succeeded in making three runs. Some
good double plays were made by the
local players and the work of the fielders
was very creditable. The Fraternal
Union play fairly good game but it
was apparent to everyone Sunday that
the city nine was no match for the Cen
trails. The attendance at the game was
very good and the spectators remained
to the finish notwithstanding the windy
and disagreeable weather. Robert Lew
is acted as umpire and gave such gene
raj satisfaction he doubtless will be re-
tanned to act in that capacity through
out the season. Louis Rachofsky in his
characteristic style addressed the specta-
tors outside of the grand stand and made
an urgent appeal for liberal shower of
silver. .t4s-.

NORMAL FINISH.
Bid Farewell to the Old-Time House
of Learning.

Over 200 graduates of the Platte
vile Normal from almost all of the
classes from the first too the last
sang Aud Lang Syne" together
Friday night before they left the
banquet hall of the old Platteville
normal. It was the last reunion
ever to be held in the old normal
building and tears came to the eyes
OF many of the old graduates of '69
and 10, and the younger alumni of
1906 and 1902. AS the last of the ban
queters left the old gray stone home
OF the first Wisconsin normal school,
the school bell that has called to the
children of two generations to be-
come teachers, called forth it's fare
we'll. Over 5000 young men and
women of the state have attended
the school and it numbers /, 900 men
AID women of all professors and
all lands among it's graduates.
1t was a reunion of the graduates
and farewell banquet held in the
assembly room of the school. After
the banquet, d. j. Murphy of Wauk-
on, Ia, acted as POSTMASTER and
several excellent toasts were re-
spondtd to. The first was toast
to the sentiment, Looking Back
ward" responded to by Prof. A. j.
Hutton Of Waukesha, graduate Of
the class of 80. Miss Clara Grind
ell Of Milwaukee responded to the
toast to the class which graduated
just twenty-one years ago. w. w.
Jones responded to ''Reminis-
cences,' and Miss VelVa Bradbury
of the class of 1907 gave the response
to Looking Forward. Then the
alumni went to the gymnasium
where there were some informal
talks by President J. w. Livingston
and Doctor Duncan McGregor, and
solo by Mrs. Hiestand of Madison.
The octet OF the Milwaukee Mer-
chants association later favored
them with several selections.
Earlier in the day President j. w.
Livingston presented diplomas to
fifty-five graduates from the full
course of the Platteville normal.
Four others received elementary
certificates.
DIR. Duncan McGregor delivered
the graduating address. The title
was. Retrospect and Prospect.
In it he spoke of the evolution of the
normal school idea in Wisconsin
from the time of the draft of the
first rejected constitution of 1916 to
the present day.
