 There has more or less complaint for the last month with reference to the promiscuous shooting of firearms in the vicinity of Bakersviile and Warren, several of the residents mar rowly escaping being riddled with shot.
 Last evening a numDer of the cot tagers waited upon Judge Grier and expressed themselves quite foreibly in regard to the reckless manner in which these sportsmen discharge their guns, one of them stating his little daughter was grazed by shot while standing near a window.
 The officers have been notified to be on the lookout for these offenders, and it will go hard with them if they are caught in the act.

STATE PRISON FOR LIFE
Herbert Spring Sentenced for KILL
ling Mrs. Edna Rumelhagen
in FreeDOrt.

Monroe Times, July 4: Life I'M
prisonment at hard labor is the pun
ishment of Herbert Spring, of Rock
ford, for the murder of Mrs. Edna
Rumelhagen on the streets Of Freeport,
on Saturday, June l. Spring pleaded
guilty, and yesterday afternoon Judge
Farrand pronounced sentence.
Spring shot down his victim in the
main street of the city without warn
ing. He had never seen her before
and said he had mistaken Mrs. Rum
melhagen for a Rockford woman with
whom he had quarrled. Springs plea
of intoxication was in vain, Judge
Farrand, in passing sentence, saying:
"During the past five years seven
men have been before me charged with
murder; four have pleaded guilty,
three have been tried by jury. In
each case the defendant was under the
Influence Of Intoxicating liquor at the
time the offense charged was commit
ted, as you were when you commit
ted the crime to which you have en-
tered the plea of guilty.
"Intoxication can not be considered
as a defense in this case. The young
man who at your age has become a
frequenter of saloons and an habitual
drinker of intoxicating liquors is al
most certain of moral death before he
reaches mature manhood. Oh, could
I speak to the young men of this na-
tion [ would beg of them to shun the
saloon: let not its shadows fall upon
you; they will blight and finally des-
stroy your young manhood, bring
unutterable sorrow to those who love
you, and hasten you prematurely to
the grave or to a home within the
prison walls"

met in the office of the superintendent
of the Iowa county asylum, July 3,
1907.
The society were most royalty enter
tanned by Supt. Perkins, who showed
the members through the different
apartments of the buildings. 1t gave
the members of the society great pleas
ure to inspect the institution and its
management which has no equal in
the state. The discipline is simply
perfect, and every part of the institu-
ton is kept in perfect condition, show
ing that a master hand superintends
the institution. After inspecting the
buildings and grounds, the members
met in the Office of Supt. Perkins and
listened to papers on "When to oper-
ate in cases of appendicitis" by DR..
Parmley, and "TyphOid fever" by DR..
Lawler. Both papers elected warm
and spirited discussion. The meeting
proved to be one of the most successful
in the history of the society. Surely no

A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING
Convenier y Arranged for Count
ing House and Offices.
THE FIRST FLOOR.

The First National Bank of Min
eral Point occupied it's new building

with three conveniently located vaults
besides the burglar proof money chest.
The vault in the basement is for the safe
keeping Of all bulky documents. One
of the vaults on the first floor is for
the daily record books of the bank,
and the other is for safety-deposit
boxes to be rented to patrons. There
are two rooms, s,-One for ladies and
the other for men. These rooms are
supplied with tables and chairs, where
the safety boxes can be taken, their
contents examined, and then placed
back in the vault. These rooms are
specially designed for the convenience
of patrons who desire to transact bus
mess between themselves or with Off
GERS of the bank. Another room-a
large one, is the directors room, with
large mahogany table and chairs.
The appointments of the building are
modern in every particular, and in
clude all up to date cOnveniences.
In the rear of the buiIding-on the
first foor-are rooms specially ar
ranged for a permanent home for the
Mineral Point Telephone company.
THE SECOND FLOOR.

'veniently arranged Office rooms.

gon and Fl. G.. Jackson, real estate

is a suite of three rooms. These
rooms have not yet been taken, but
they are arranged for Office purposes,
and are we'll lighted by windows on
the north, east and west.
THE BASEMENT.
The building is to be heated from
the central heating plant, with which
it is connected; but the Bank has in
stalled its own independent heating
plant in a large room in the south
part of the basement. In the base
ment are also two we'll lighted rooms
suitable for shops and offices.
The building with it's modern APP

outlook is now improving each day.
