prohibited list. Last Saturday Joe
Greer, constable, went to Bridge
port and arrested Jack WEIGH, on
charge of procuring liquor for James
Aud. He was brought before
Justice Schreiner and paid fine of
$50, and 81 additional for costs.
Persons on the list have been able
to secure liquor almost without
effort and these prosecutions will be
continued until the practice is dis
continued. These people are placed
on the list for their own good-and
for business. Those who get them

STRIKES LEAD Mr.. Wilcox,
the miner working on the Meysen-
burg and John Krantz lands on the
Mississippi bluffs west of this place,
has taken out one thousand pounds
of mineral from short drift at the
bottom of 4O-foot shaft, and the
prospect grows better each day. 1t
is a fine specimen of cube lead, in
dicating large body in close proxi-
nifty to the shaft. This lends color
to the oft-repeated assertions OF
some that there are ore bodies along
the Mississippi bluffs and on the
BARLEY and Hickok farms near this
village, where the New Lisbon
Mining company recently did some
prospecting. In the New Lisbon
mine shaft are some very promising
out groupings of lead ore, which
somebody should develop. Form
company.

lola Proctor, children of the late
Bertha Proctor, were last week
committed TO the school for home

LEAVING THE TowN.-The closing
out of business interests and break
ing up of a long established home is
an important event to the II, E.
Taylor family and to the village.
Mr.. Taylor sold all of his real estate
but one building, and on Saturday
closed out his household goods at
auction. During the week friends
and the several lodges to which Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor belong have enter
tanned in their honor. They expect
to start this week for their new
home near Spokane, Wash. They
will take with them the good will
of many friends.
NAGLE SALE.-The sale of Nagle
Bros. last Wednesday was one OF
the best of the season. There was
a large crowd, about 400 being IN
attendance. Auctioneer HOskins Sc
cured about $500 more for the
property than the owners thought
they would receive. None of the
articles brought phenomenal prices,
but every thing sold at good full
value. The Maggie boys have made
a success of farming, and now they
will try the state of Washington
for the same occupation. They
have many friends here in Bloom
ington and West Grant who wish
them good luck.

DR.. Hancock, the noted Dubuque
physician, was a professional caller
in town last Wednesday.
One of our business men, in an
endeavor to lower the high water
mark along his store front, threw
some high life" upon a low-lived
yellow dog-one of the immense
multitude of canine nuisances in
Testing our streets. But the owner
of said dog thinks as much of him
as if he were pedigreed, ticketed,
groomed and decorated for a bench
show-more, in fact, for has it not
always been the case that the
