Old Time Social Success.


The Old Time social given by the
Dorcas society of the M Il, church
Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs.
s. E. Shepard was a complete success
A large number of members and
friends of the society were present,
many dressed in the costumes Of boys
and girls under twelve years Of age
making a most humorous and fantastic
contrast.
Games of long ago were freely in
dulged in and "old fashioned" refresh
ments were served, after which was
trial of two unruly members. The jury
was made up Of women who acted with
becoming dignity in this high Office
The case went against the accused but
sentence was withheld pending the de-
cision of the judge upon the request
for nov, trial.
In this meeting the Dorcas society
have added another success to their
many successful evenings of pleasure
for all.

Emmitt Thrasher was born in thi:
city Oct. Is, 1891, and died at the home
of his mother on the south side Feb.
10, 1912, being 20 years, four months
and one day of age.
He became afflicted with the illness,
that produced dissolution, about year
ago, but Notwithstanding its debilitat-
ing nature he was bright and cheerful
about the home and among his friends,
and sought employment when his
strength had almost gone.
The suddenness of the call is indeed
a shock to his family and associates.
He is spoken of as a young man of
sterling worth
He leaves to mourn his departure
widowed mother, three brothers and
one sister.
The funeral took place on Thursday
afternoon of last week and was con

The Winters Severest Storm.

What proved to be the severest storm
of this winter for this section set in
about O'Clock Monday morning and
continued for upwards of twelve hours.
1t was of the blizzard form. Snow
fell, or rather tried to fall, almost in
cessantly The whirling wind played
with and banged about "the beautiful"
most shamefully, and during the while
travel of any kind was next to impossi-
bic When calm prevailed snow banks
Of all shapes and sizes predominated
something pretty to look at but not to
contend with. 1t is estimated that the
fall of snow amounted to ten inches on
the level. Trains were delayed and
mail carriers eheckmated.

How AL. Goldsw orthy Met Death.

Last week the Tribune chronicled the
death of AL. Goldsworthy out in Wash.
lngton by railway train on the 10th,
put could not give particulars, Since
then the Tacoma Ledger of the Goth
giving the following account has
reached here:
AL. Goldsworthy, a rancher, raced
with Great Northern passenger train
at 4;S0 yesterday afternoon, lost the
race, was struck by the engine and in
stantly killed. He had left his resi-
dence about 1890 o'clock to go 10 Sum-
ner for the mail. After visiting around
town short while he started for his
ranch, distance of about one mile
northeast of Sumner. He was walking
along the tracks when the Great North
ern passenger approached behind him,
while another train was approaching
from the opposite direction on a par
allel track The engineer blew his
thinking that Goldsworthy
would step aside. Instead, however, he
glanced around with look of horror
and, waving his hands in the air and
with fear, Goldsworthy ran
like mad in the center of the track be-
fore the onrushing train. The brakes
Of the train We're applied, but it was
moving with such momentum that il

NUMBER 8
Wiseonsin's First Protestant Church.

Il denizens Of Mineral Point are
not the most God-fearing and Christ
loving people in Wisconsin it is no fault
of the pioneer settlers of this place.
for Mineral Point enjoys the distinction
of having had the first Protestant
church built in the state.
Quoting from historical writer will
say. this may be regarded by many as
an event of no particular significance
IN connection with the present, but in
significant as it may seem, it is never
theless so, and withal, exhibits the fact
that, although a majority of the early
corners are pictured as rough and des
perate characters, yet there were
enough of God-fearing and humanity
loving people here to take an early
start in the right direction. In an
effort TO measure development and pro
gress since that time the mind is very
much bewildered. How wonderful. in
deed, is the march of civilization and
how grand and allpreyailng The power
of Deity.
The following graphic description of
the said first church and the first work
done therein by the pioneer preacher,
Rev. A. Bronson, is deemed worthy of
republishing and should prove of more
than passing interest to Tribune read
ers:
The first Methodist Episcopal
church, and the first Protestant church
built in Wisconsin, was erected in
Mineral Point in 1884 II was of logs
entirely ! think there was not a
sawed board in it, except what was
worked into the window-sash and doors.
The logs were notched together at the
corners, chinked inside, and daubed
or plastered outside with clay mortar.
The floor was of puncheons split out Of
logs, and smoothed with broad-ax on
the flat side. the round side being
spotted to fit the sleepers. The roof
was made of clapbtards. split out of
large oak trees, and the ceiling and
pulpit We're made from the same ma

DEATH BY PRESSING.
One of the Horrible Modes of Torture
In the Middle Aces.

One of the Horrible Modes of Torture
In the Middle Ages.
One of the judicial penalties in the
middle ages was death by pressing.
Strictly speaking. this manner of
death was not penalty, but an avoid.
ance of penalty. In the penal practice
of the time it was not enough that the
person accused Of crime for which
capital punishment was provided
should be convicted by the testimony
of witnesses. His own acknowledge
ment of guilt was necessary. If the
crime was fastened upon the accused
by witnesses and be confessed then
only was a true conviction obtained.
In this case the goods of the criminal
as well as his life were forfeit to the
law. The pressing. the ''peine forte ct
dure' of the old penal law, was de-
signed as means of extorting con-
fession. The sufferer Of this exercise
administered by the sworn tormentors
was stripped and laid upon the dun
geon floor with a jagged stone under
him. Over him was laid a door. and
upon this platform was laid mass of
stones up to and past the weight which
the human frame could endure. On
the first day he was fed with three
morsels of moldy bread. on the second
with three sips of water and thus in
alienation so long Us life remained
During all this suffering the torment
OTIS awaited his confession.
1t Is of record that as late as 1850 in
England a Mrs. Clitheroe died silent
under the pressure rather than allow
her property to be taken from her fam
lily.
In the older accounts of the Salem
witcbcraft it is said that Giles Corey in
1862 was pressed to death. but that
whole episode Is involved in obscure
ties.-Eew York Sun
