At the regular service yesterday af-

The speaker called attention TO the
fact that every creature had at the
beginning received a divine gift Of
power which was intended to supply
it for a successful accomplishment Of
it's mission In the world While this
was true OF every bit of Gods handi-
work. II was especially apparent in
man, with the superior equipment that
had been given him for the domina-
tion Of all things created by God
AS the next step In his argument
Mr. Havermale referred 10 the fact
that man, by his wflfuliness, had mar
red this great power, and had made
himself subject to failure and disaster
ny weakening himself by his DISC
bedience 10 God. The effect Of sin, in
depriving man Of bis full hirthright

Serious Collision With Auto.

1t happened between and O'Clock
last Saturday evening, on Hoard street,
in the vicinity of Ed. Milliard's resi-
dence.
Frank Quier, who works for Peter
Collins, was in the city with horse and
buggy belonging to Leo Collins and
stopping at the home of his sister who
lives on Hoard, took up his little niece,
Dorothy Sieger, aged II, who begged
for a ride. They proceeded toward the
brewery but had not gone far before
an auto under full sail came toward
them Mr.. Quier asserts that he turn
ed out so that the auto might have the
road, but nevertheless the auto struck
on the inside Of the front wheel of the
buggy. Result, Frank and his little
niece were dumped out of the rig with
force sufficient to break his right hip
and the girls nose and to badly shake
up both, while the buggy was wrecked.
The impact damaged the auto to some
extent. 1t was being run by Mr.. Jas,
Pengelly of Dodgeville.
Marshal Thrasher and others were
soon on hand, and gently carried Mr.
Quier and little girl to the latter
home. Both are in fair condition under
surgical care.

Big Day, Big Night.

Dodgeville enjoyed big day last
Friday. 1t was heralded in advance as
Prosperity Day" Gov Philip was
the honored guest. 1t is estimated
that five hundred autos together with
other conveyances frought as large a
crowd to the county seat as ever as
sembled there in one day.
And Mineral Point had big night
on Monday of this week. The plaster
that drew the crowds hither was Fiske
O'Hara, the world renowned sympa-
thetic tenor singer and comedian. Peo-
pie came from Wyota, Shullsburg,
Darlington, Blanchardville, Hollandale,
Belmont, Platteville, Livingston, Rich
land Center, Galena, Benton, Highland.
Miffiin, Dodgeville, Linden, Cobb,
Spring Green and one or two other
points. 1t is estimated that all of five
hundred autos were necessary to bring
them
BY the way, the Fiske O'Hara show
proved the equal to anything OF its
kind ever appearing in Mineral Point.
There were enchanting singing and
side-splitting mirth with every minute,
and those who attended are still bub-
bling over with praise.
What members of the troupe. ihclud.
ing Mr.. O'Hara, had to say Of our new
opera house was very complimentary.

as quite satisfactory to the merchants.

everyone who invested went home
