Forced to Resign from Ministry.

Rev. George Mortified who has been
a terrible sufferer from eczema for
some time, has an attack Of pleurisy
added as complication to his physical
illnesses, and is quite sick at his home
in Dodgeville.
Rev. Merrifeld's term as superintend-

includes four churches near Dodgeyille.

Public School Notes.

The second semester's work is well
under way. Contest work is beginning
to interest large number Of pupils.
The Misses Mildred and Alice Reese
of Dodgeville spent the day with us
last Tuesday.
Although Dodgeville had the good
fortune to win basket ball victory over
our boys last Friday evening, they know
that we play a good game, and we
know that we are four points ahead on
the two games.
1t is next to impossible to secure a
hall of regulation size and it is very
difficult TO play in one hall after prac-
ticing in another Of different dimensions.
Our boys were at disadvantage in
Dodgeville because, while their hall was
the best obtainable, and was, perhaps, in
some respects, better than ours, it was
far from regulation hall. The floor
was that Of a dance hall and not that
Of gymnasium.
THE Tribune holds as all right the
insertion of a wedge here to the effect
that the question of hall disadvantage
is a standoff.
/ In every respect except being beaten
