Successful and Deservedly So.

There was a grand and novel musical
feast served to the people of Mineral
Point last Friday evening. 1t was the
result of the careful and untiring eff
forts of the Primitive Methodist church
choir and painstaking leader, Mr.. Geo.
S. Huxtable, in their preparation for a
genuine eye Olde Folkes Concert. "
Nothing in the nature of an entertain
ment ever took place in this city which
pleased our people more.
About fifty were enrolled as perform
ers, mostly all "tcgged'' ip We old time
style, and the scene as they appeared
on the platform was well worth che
price of admission. The program con-
sisted of orchestral selections, choruses,
quartettes, trios, Duets, solos, read
ings, etc. The quaint and grotesque
were judiciously interspersed with the
pathetic and sublime. Each number
was rendered in a manner that reflected
credit on the performer, worthy OF
personal commentator in fact, and 1t is
regretted that space and ability on the
writer's part cause the exclusion there
of. AT the eleventh hour Prof. S. T.
Osborne of Dodgeville, formerly of
this city, was secured for bass solo
This was in addition to the regular pro-
gram. "Sol'' was at his best, ana his
singing and presence rounded out the
whole as monumental success.
The attendance was exceptionally
large such as the er tertainment merited.

RIDGEwAYs DISASTROUS FIRE.
Loss $4,000; Seventeen Buildings Burn
in Heart of the Village.

The village of Ridgeway was visited
Thursday afternoon, May LIST, by the
most disastrous fire known in its his
tory when property valued between
800 600 and 500, 600 was destroyed.
This is the second disastrous fire suf-
fered by this village within three years.
The fire originated from an unknown
cause in barn in the rear of John
Hammerli's saloon at about two O'Clock
and when Dissolved the barn was in
mass of flames. An alarm was sounded
and the entire populace was soon on
the scene
The saloon of John Hammerli on the
north caught fire and the fire fighters
were unable to stop its Roadway and
this structure soon was claimed by the
| flames. The fire then continued its de
struction up the main street of the viii
lage and every building up to George
| McCann's store was reduced 70 ashes
inside of less than an hour. The fire
was stopped at the McCann store after
the stock of goods had been removed to
the street. From the Hammerli and
O'Neil buildings the blaze jumped over
| the street to the north and soon had
the lumber yards and buildings of Col
Inns Eeos. in its grasp which was eaten
up like kindling wood. The Northwest
ern depot was next to go down and
during the burning of this building the
heat was so intense that the two pas
senger trains were delayed nearly two
hours. Cinders were carried to the res
idence of George Post which was set on
fire and destroyed, together with all
the furniture. The fire finally was
brought under control after two barns
of Bert Strut, together with six head
of horses, were burnt up. Mr.. Strut
also lost large silo.
The Ridgeway people, together with
the help of many people from Dodge
vile. Barneveld and the surrounding
country, worked without ceasing and If
it was not for their untiring labor the
catastrophe would have been great
deal worse than it is. 1t is almost inn
possible to get a correct figure of the
losses but the following is a good

DIMENSIONS REMAIN SAME,
The dimensions of parcels still will
have to come within the extreme cir
cumference of seventy-two inches, it is
stated.
The problem of weighing the heavier
parcels that will be handled under the
new limits is serious one, Postmaster
Stanley indicated. Enlargement Of
the force handling parcel post business
probably will be increased at many
points. Extension Of the plan of parcel
post depots, to remove handling of this
business from the regular postoffices,
is contemplated.
Heretofore, in spite Of general agita-
tion for acceptance Of books as fourth
class shipments, the department has
refused to transport books at parcel
post rates. The rate axed on books to
go into effect on March 16, is l cent
for each two ounces or fraction thereof,
up to eight ounces. Books weighing
more than eight ounces will be trans
ported at regular zone rates.

pain. DR.. Jennings visited him again
on Tuesday but found him in dying
condition and he finally sucoumbed

He has been engaged in the practice
OF law In this city for the past twenty.
seven years and tried the first case at
the first term Of court ever held in
Hot Springs. It was only at the
earnest solicitation Of friends over the
entire district that he decided to
become candidate for congress at
this time and would not have been q
candidate had Mr.. Martin decided to
remain in the field. There is little
doubt but that he will be the majority
candidate at the proposal committee
meeting at Pierre in January.
Mr.. Wilson was born and raised on q
farm in Bureau county, Illinois, and
obtained bis common school education
there. AS q young man he moved to
Clarinda, Iowa, and was for six years
superintendent Of the Fremont county
schools. 1t was during this time that
he entered the law offices of Colonel
Pete Hepburn, one of the ablest con.
gressmen Iowa ever had. He was ad.
mitted to the bar in 'S4 and moved to
Hot Springs in 's6 and has since made
this his residence.
Since coming here he has served in
the State Senate, winning out in one
OF the hardest fought contests In
the state over Major Anderson, who at
that time was an aspirant for the
United States Senate. Mr.. Wilson was
elected president pro tenn Of the senate
during his term, an honor seldom CON.
ferred on new member. He was
chairman on the committee on state
affairs besides serving on several of
the most important committees. He
served for ten years as statee attorney
of this county and was one of its very
best prosecutors.
Now that he is in the race, Mr.. vii.
son and his friends will use every hon.
orable means to secure the nomina-
tion and election. In the community in
which he lives he enjoys the confidence
of all GLASSES to an extent which has al
ways made him q formidable candidate
whenever his name was on the ticket
He is q hard worker and q keen and
impartial observer, who will devote his
time to the faithful, conscientious dis.
chesge Of the duties of the office and
with his we'll known ability will obtain
results for his constituents.

reason his impaired health and also
his increased business which needs his
undivided attention. After fourteen
years continuous service in the lower

that is full Of good works and with the
knowledge that should he have desired, !,
the people Of the third district would

announcement for the vacancy caused
by the retirement of Mr.. Martin. Sew

aside from local pride, we feel that
Mr.. Wilson is better qualified for the
office than any Of those who have been
mentioned. He is a progressive" both
politically and in business way and

be given opportunity to make tests
upon them In so far as such can be
done without interfering with the usual
work of the institution. The lsbora.
tories are sufficiently large to aocomo-

the main distinct from each other.
These include the chemical lsborator.
ies. assay laboratories, metallurRical
laboratories and mineralogioal labora.
tories. The geological museum and the
mining and metallurgical mueeum are

also the library which contains q con.
siderable share of the best technical
literature available.
The course begins January 5th and
ends February 14th. The cost is mere
~ nominal, the tuition being $500 plus
the cost of such materials as may be
used up In the laboratories.
Not only mining men and prospec-
tors but men. young and old men, en-
gagged In other pursuits having time to
take the course will be welcome.
