ENTERED INTO REST
Mr.. Martin Barry.


The Angel of good council has en-
tered our midst and has taken from us
one of Garrison Groves honored and
most highly respected citizens, Martin
Barry, who died Tuesday, Aug. 81, at
1890 D. M, on the farm home five
miles southeast of Dodgeville, Wis. At
the time of his death he was surrounded
by his kind brothers and sisters and
Miss Emma Pirie, the faithful nurse.
who was at his bedside for over three
months, since the operation occurred in
the ST. Bernard Hospital, Chicago, by
DR.. J. M. Hurley for tumor of the
stomach.
Martin Barry was born on the farm
at Garrison Grove in 1851, which makes
him "a years of age. He spent his en-
tire life on the farm at Garrison Grove,
attended the country schools, and is
still remembered and fondly cherished
by some of his old schoolmates who
still remain. Among them we find the
and the we'll know families of Blotzes
and Cutters whose boyhood days were
spent in childlike play around the beau
tiful scenes Of the old rock school house
in Garrison Grove. Mr.. Barry was a
successful farmer and at the time of
his death he and his sisters owned one
of the best farms in Iowa county, coll
sisting Of 240 acres.
The deceased never married, but
spent his life happily with his sisters
on the farm, who always made the
home pleasant and cheerful for their
only brother at home. Mr.. Barry's
friends were numbered by his acquaint-
ances, as he was always held in the
highest esteem by his neighbors and
felIowmen.
The funeral took place from ST.
PauPs Catholic Church, Mineral Point,
Thur. day, September 2. The pail
bearers were Sam Martin, William
Williams, Elmer Blotz, David Walsh,
Louis Girardin and Henry Demuth.

deceased, was celebrant of the mass,
Rev. M. H. McNulty of Argyle was
deacon and Rev. Mark P. O'Connor of
Highland was subdeacon. The pastor,
Rev. L. P. O'Reilly was master of
ceremonies, and at the conclusion OF
the services spoke briefly on death,
and mentioned some of the good
qualities which were uniquely char
acteristic of the deceased. Rev. Father
Hishen Of Chicago was present in the
sanctuary. The funeral services at the
church were very imposing, while the
large church edifce was filled with |
sympathizing friends of all creeds. The /
remains were laid to rest in the family |
lot in st. Paups cemetery, Mineral |

THE MARRIAGE RECORD
PhilIips-McNeIII.

From The Beloit Daily News: Sat
urday afternoon, Sept. 4th, at 4 O'Clock
in the Blue Tea Room occurred the mar
riage of Miss Bessie Irene Phillips,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph A.
Phillips, 1868 Vine street, to Frank
McNeill, son of Mr. and Mrs. William
McNeill, of Mineral Point. The Rev.
Ill. M. Bannen of Rockford performed
the ceremony, which was witnessed by
only the immediate relatives of the bride.
A three course luncheon followed in
the Tea room, which was beautifully
decorated in cosmos against a back
ground of palms. Covers were laid for
eight.
Mr. McNeill and bride left Saturday
on a trip of two weeks through Wis
consin and into northern Michigan.
They will visit at the home of the groom
in Mineral Point, before returning to
Beloit. They will be at home at l1O36
Union street after October 1.
Both the bride and groom have a
wide circle of friends. Miss Phillips
has been a stenographer in the general
office of the Fairbanks Morse company
for several years.
Mr.. McNeill is a teller of the second
National bank, an institution he has
been identified with for the past seven

to the naval wireless station at Key
West, Fla Then the wireless sparks
begin to jump, and out over the gulf,
the Caribbean and the south Atlantic
flashes the news from home"
Captain w. II. G. Bullard, superin-
tendent of the naval radio service, is
the man who conceived the idea, and
through his suggestion Secretary Dan
iels obtained the cooperation of the
news agency and the telegraph compa-
n.y. Only officers and sailors who are
thousands of miles from home, in
strange waters by strange shores, can
fully appreciate the value of a service
of this kind.
The men are more interested in the
baseball scores of the National and
American leagues than in any other
point Of the days news. The latest
boiler explosion west of Pittsburgh,
however, gets their avid interest.
The naval radio service looks upon
the idea as a great development of its
resources. For several years the serV-
ice has been sending out the official
Washington time through the Airing
ton (Va.) station and the radio station
at Darien, in the canal zone. This
time flash has been sent broadcast over
the continental United States, neigh
borhood waters and distant American
dependencies
Not long ago some 800 jewelers. in
formed Secretary Daniels that they
had equipped themselves with radio
apparatus just to catch this twice daily
time flash from Washington. Time
signals are said to be Of immense ben
eft to vessels on the high seas, which
now possess for the first time an ac-
curate means of checking their chro-
nometers, which is of the greatest help
in fixing longitude
AS soon as the new wireless section
in the Philippines is completed it is be-
lieved that IN Interchange of messages
between the Philippines and the Unit
ed States can be made in thirty min
utes.
The news bulletin service is regarded
as Of still greater Importance as an
advance in the naval radio service. 1t
contrasts strongly. old officers say,
with the methods of only thirty years
ago, when naval vessels on distant
duty never got news from home except
when the relief vessel arrived and
freshen up on events.

Visitors From Bloomington.

Friday afternoon three representative
citizens of Bloomington, who were out
on an automobile trip, paid Mineral
Point a visit. The trio were: A. G.
Bishop, postmaster and publisher of
The Record, Emery Bray, principal of
the Bloomington high school; and Rob-
ert N. Hoskins. dealer in furniture.
They called on friends and visited the
public library and the city hall; but
were unable to get into the Municipal

in the pockets of Mineral Point visitors
to the Platteville fair.

VIA The NAVAL WIRELESS.


Warships In West Indies-Captain
Bullard, Superintendent of Naval
Radio Service, Conceived the Idea.
Washington.-Even the oldest inhab-
itant of Port-au Prince, Haiti, can't re-
member the time before now when the
Haitian tropics received the baseball
scores every evening.
Somehow one doesn't associate the
thought of the blue Caribbean and
scorching semi equatorial sunshine
with the thought Of New York, 4;
Pittsburgh, G' But it's an actual fact,
just the same.
Not only baseball scores, but the
latest word about the kaiser and the
war and William Jennings Bryans
latest opinion penetrate the tropical
evenings. The officers and men Of
Uncle Sans warships in West Indian
waters are now able to learn Of the
things going on at home and abroad.
Secretary Daniels worked the scheme
through the innate patriotism of a
telegraph company and big press as
sociatiOn. Let there be no more talk
of sOulless corporations, says the navy.
Every night the days news is boiled
down to 200 words-just as it should
be, some one says-and is telegraphed

The silo experience of Theodore
Cegelski of Oneida county is similar to
that of a very great number of other
Wisconsin farmers. A year ago he bor
rowed money to build silo and paid
for it with the extra cream which his
COWS produced as result of the i'm
provement of their feed. His herd went
to pasture this spring in the very best
of condition.

Crawford Brothers are getting out an
excellent paper and editorially it is the
strongest of the fifty or more weekly
newspapers that come to our exchange
table.

attain that age it will be a source of
pride for us if we can look back on as
good a record as the Crawford Brothers
have.
