Obituary William Belmont.

Two weeks ago The Tribune published
an announcement of the death of VIM.
Belmont at Caldwell, Kan. The fol-
lowing particulars we take from the
Caldwell Advance of Sept oath
William Belmont was born in Dew
vonshire, Eng. Dec. /, 1853, and died
at Caldwell, Kas., Sept. Ia, 1909; aged
90 years, 8 months and Is days
His father moved to Canada when
he was but one year old and after a
years residence there, moved to Miner
al Point, Wis. There he spent the
years of his youth until he was nineteen
years old, when in 1872 they moved to
Taylor county, Iowa. Here he was
married to Mary Jane Clayton in 1878.
Together they lived on one farm near
Conway, Iowa, for thirty-seven consec-
utive years. To them We're born one
daughter and seven sons, two of whom
died in infancy.
'On account of failing health, Mr..
Belmont moved with his family to Cald-
we'll, Kansas, in March, 1900, thinking
that the change in climate would be
beneficial, but he gradually grew worse
until death came to relieve him of his
suffering
"Mr. Belmont was kind and loving
husband and father, and he left, as an
inheritance, an example of an exem-
plary life. He made many friends here
who deeply sympathize with the sor-
rowing family. He was member of
the Masonic lodge and also of the
Woodman order. "

Forty Years Ago.

At the suggestion of number of the
most active, enterprising and influential
citizens of this city and adjoining
towns, we announce a meeting t. be
held at the City Hall in Mineral Point,
on Saturday afternoon, Oct 9th, at
O'Clock, for the purpose of taking the
preliminary steps toward securing the
organization of some sort of society
for the development of the agricultural,
horticultural, mineral and other re-
sources Of the vicinity adjoining Miner
al Point 1t is believed that the inter-
ests of this section can be greatly Gi-
vanced by an organization of this kind,
to be fostered by annual exhibitions or
fairs.

load of flour from mill. When going
down the hill this side Of Jas. Bennett s
some part of the harness broke, letting
the loaded wagon run upon the horse,
which became unmanageable and ran
over an embankment, throwing out Mr..
Short and the boy. Mr. S. escaped I'M
hurt but the boy was seriously injured
bruised about the head and perhaps
some ribs broken.
| Considering the extremely unfavor-
able weather, the county fair held at
Dodgeville last week was good one.
The rain Of Friday prevented many
articles from being brought in that had
been entered and made the display APP
pear meagre in some respects. In the
stock department there was scarcely
any show. The Art Hall was very well
filled. Among the most prominent
features were two carriages manufac-
tured by Spang & Stratman Of Dodge
vile, furniture exhibited by Ellingen
Brothers and Theophihs George Of this
city and the fine display Of photographs
by r. A. Kendall. No fast
horses we're on the ground. John
Spensley Of this city easily won the
purse of $40 with his gray mare.

BIG COMPANY IN
 RECEIVERS HANDS
Birmingham Coal 6 Iron Com
 pany Embarrassed
THOUGHT TO BE TEMPORARY
A. w. Smith and James Bonnyman Ap- pointed Receivers By Judge Jones. Properties Are Valued at
 Nearly $s,ooo, 1000.

Unsecured creditors of the Birmingham Coal and Iron company yesterday after noon filed petition with the federal court placing the company in involuntary bank ruptcy. A. ". Smith, president of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company, and James Bornyman, former general manager of the concern, were appointed receivers by Judge Jones.
 It is stated by the attorneys for the company that they believe the receiver ship will be only temporary and that the indebtedness will soon be liqudated. This is the company of which H. M. Atkinson was president and it was acquired by him from the Tutwilers in connection with the project which brought the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad which is also in the hands of re- ceiver.
 The mines and furnaces of the company will remain in operation under the direc- ton of the receivers. The company has property valued at from $6,000,0O0 to $S,0OO- 900. including two blast furnaces at Van- derbilt, coke ovens, new mine at Mulga said to be the best equipped in the dis trct, mine at Short Creek where the explosion occurred several days ago, and mines near Adamsvllle and Blossburg, ore mines at Songa, 4S,0O0 acres of val uable coal land and extensive ore proper ties
 The petition is brought by the Aetna Powder company of New Jersey for S2669. AS, the Standard Oil company of Ken lucky for $S4.37 the Birmingham Arms and Cycle company for $13.2S, Flies and Sons for 80, the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company,( for $32.4 AT, the Grasselli Chemical company for $3S. The petition sets forth the expressed willingness of the company to be ad- judged a bankrupt and ayers that it Is absolutely necessary for the preserva- tion of the said estates that a receiver be appointed in that the iron furnaces, mines and plants represent large amount of money and if closed down would result in large loss and scatter the skilled labor so that it would be hard to start up again.
 The company is quite large one and the people of Birmingham will be greatly interested in the news. While it came as surprise there is general confidence in the ability of the company to rehabilitate itself.
