Philip Visits Our City.

Emano, l.. Philip. Republican can
didate for governor of Wisconsin. was
in our city for brief period last Sat
urday. He arrived here from Platte
vile about the noon hour and was
Dodgeville bound by 100 p. m.
Because of Mr.. Philipp's short stay
but few of our citizens had an oppor-
tunity to shake his hand or size him up
Ii being his first visit to Mineral Point,
there's general regret that he didn't
remain in our midst longer. Our peo-
Pile would like to have met him. The
Tribune was favored with a call from
him. II was our first privilege Co be in
his presence He's big fellow but
didn't scare us, as it wasn't meeting
for wrestling or punching match.
Mr.. Philip is a man of pleasant adj
dress. intelligent, especially along bus
mess lines, and man of set pur-
pose In days gone by, when Stalwarts
and Halfbreeds held the political stage
in this state, MIR. Philip took sides
with the Stalwarts. natural eonse-
quence, as he had been reared more or
less in railroad circles. Halfbreed, A."
be it understood, is what the Progress
sive party was dubbed in its infancy
a party which sprang from public de-
sire to down goutsh, domineering
faction that had the state by the
throat. However. from Mr.. Philipp's
expressions in this office and from what
we have read of him, we conclude that
he is inclined to be free and fair. His
expressions are equivalent TO admitting
that the eating of Halfbreed pudding
has convinced him that they were right
in some things, that the people and
state profted thereby. He says, 81

ceiving that is beneficial and worth
what it costs.

the good of the two factions of the
party, both Of which seems to be hand
icapped by domineering forces polit-
zeal disease which likewise harnesses and
disgraces the Democratic party then
Mr.. Philip is surely the man Of the
hour.

sure substantially against heavy rains,
etc., as well as against travel, and IN
addition every well-built road should
be oiled occasionally to bind the top
dressing and cause water to run off
readily without damage into properly
provided channels. 1t is believed that
this system judiciously and economical
ly carried out by competent and indus
trious parties would cost but very lit
tie, if any more than the present way
of lavishly spending the taxpayers
money for something which does not
by any means insure permanency.

the Parish House, under auspices Of the
Girls Friendly society The Bachel-

Hull House and by leading dramatic
clubs. In pantomine, it tells charm
ing story Of an old bachelors dream of
former sweethearts and its tender pa
thos and quiet humor make it most
idyllic. The other playlet is in sharp
contrast, as it is an episode Of the Lon

success by Maude Adams. Both plays

hand of death touched her and she
sleeps. Never before has death caus.

felt an expression of sorrow, and
there is mourning, genuine and unaf-

loving heart, and with purest hands

daughter, sister, wife and mother
She was pure of soul, kind of heart,
generous disposition, devoted and
faithful to all public trust This
brave and tender woman, this oak and
rock, this vine and flower has passed
to silence and pathetic dust, to that
glorious world, where there is no more
night, and where the sunbeam Of
love is eternal.
