Big Hospital Compaisn.

Aurora, Illinois, is elated over the
success of her citizens in their active
eleven-day campaign to raise 100000
for new hospital The exact amount
raised was $1l3, 474
This would be matter of little or no
Importance to Tribune readers but for
the fact that the silent yet strong man
behind the movement is a native of
Mineral Point - Miller Hutchinson, broth
err of our townsmen, Jas. w. and Il. Y.
Hutchinson. The Daily Beacon of that
city comments thus
There is always the man behind In
this case it was N. Nj. Hutchinson. He
has been the silent worker and the
largest contribution was obtained by
him as were the pledges for the first
$22, 600. He has been working on this
for more than year.

Fed ra RY;lding for Mineral Point.

=
IND N.fe or Washington, d. c.,
Dec. ~, it is learned that Of the Wis
consin cities scheduled to receive new
federal buildings, per appropriation bill
of the house, Mineral Point is among
the list. This was brought about
through the efforts Of Congressman
Kopp, for whom the citizens Of this
place win lastingly entertain a feeling
Of gratitude.
A federal building means a postoffice
building, as most people understand.
Judging from the age, size and stabili-
ty of Mineral Point and the recognition
by the government of towns of less
importance in every way, this appro-
priation is long past due, for all that
the elstion of our people is none the
less.
When and where will the building be
erected are subjects for discussion in
the various business and social circles
of our city. One thing certain, there
should be united and vigorous effort
for prompt action toward getting it
erected.

CHATTER OF THE FIRE BELL.
The Fiend Made Its Appearance in the
Heart of City, but was Quickly
Smothered.

| About o'clock last Thursday eve
ming IRE was discovered in the three
story GRADER building. corner of High
and Chestnut streets. The gathering
of the fire bell followed and quicker
than it takes to tell of it firemen and
citizens were out in full blast.
The fire was located in the second
floor and in a closet on the east side of
the rear workroom of the Dresden tail
oring establishment.
BY the hose process heavy stream
of water was forced in and about the
closet and the fire was readily smoth-
cred before it succeeded in doing dam
age Of any note. The volume of water
thrown on was so large however, that
it broke through in streams to the fur
niture store Of j fl. Stephenson on the
first Or floor below and his stock of
furniture was damaged to some extent,
but not so much as was at first antici-
pated 1t is understood that insurance
will take care of his lcas Mr.. Dresden
also suffered more loss from water than
fire. But the fact should not be over-
looked that without water the loss
might have been ten times as great to
these gentlemen and possibly large
portion of the business section of our
city destroyed, as the building is in the
heart thereof.
The origin of the fire is not certain,
but it is surmised that a mouse might
have been the cause as a charred box
of matches was found on a shelf in the
closet.
Colen 0ke, one of the prompt and
nervy dremen. was among the first to
get into action in the closet He soon
became Frustrated by smoke and gas
and hs-d to be carried out, and did not
fully recover for hours
1t certainly is fortunate for our city
that the fire broke out when it did.
Had it been midnight or after there
surely would be far more disastrous
and saddening report to make.

Somewhat Premature.

The Tribune's notice last week to
the effect that better mail service had
been inaugurated was Of the premature
kind. The arrangement as outlined was
given us by one whom twas thought
knew what he was talking about, as he
is in a sense connected with the service.
The 'better service" hasn't materi-
allied thus far, but service even better
than that is what the Commercial
Clubs committee is demanding through
the state railroad commission.

Last Friday Chicago's club women
became egg merchants with a result Of
knocking down prices to % cents per
dozen. They planned to sell a million
eggs at "a cents dozen in their cam
paign against the high cost of that
product
Thirty stations were opened through
out the city where eggs could be pur-
chased from to 10 cents cheaper than
the same product had been sold by the
retail grocers. They were sold in three,
six and nine dozen lots.
The womens bargain day" sale is
being conducted under the auspices OF
the Chicago Clean Food league, which
bought ten car loads Of eggs. 1t was
said that if the experiment proved q
success, sales of butter. meat and veg,
etables would be held
AS soon as the women opened Their
sale, retail grocers plastered the from
Of their stores with signs offering eggs
at p cents dozen, cents less thar
the prices asked by the women. The
grocers advertised their product al
guaranteed April storage eggs, tn,
