"Mutt & jeff in Mexico

You will remember that Our
Heroes Mutt & jeff" succeed
ed in properly opening the new
canal at Panama last season.
None too soon, however, as our
esteemed President has enlisted
the services Of Mutt & Jeff" to
aid in settling the Mexican con-
troversy. Mediation is what the
President desired. While our
eccentric friends are not quite
clear in their minds as to what
it is, jeff kindly offers to cook
it if jeff" will get some. Mutt
& Jeff in Mexico" is the vehicle
upon which they will ride to an
other tremendous success the
current season.
Gus Hill has made a lavish
production, even more elaborate
than any of his former offerings
under the same title. Fun a
plenty is promised, and Mr.. Hill
always keeps his promises. Each
successive season will find an
entirely new play, which will
include book, music, scenery,
costumes and last but not least,
new faces. Mutt & Jeff" will
never grow old. One never gets
tired of laughing. The first act
is laid on the American battle
ship Psychology" The final
act is at Vera Cruz, during the
fall of that famous old fort. 1t
is one round of hilarious laugh
ter, tempered with an unusually
pretty bunch of choristers who
can both sing and dance. The
plot tinges a little of the melo-
drama, with enough love inter-
est to be pretty without being
'mushy." Mutt & Jeff in
Mexico" will be at the Comus
Theatre next Friday, January
18TH
Don't get the idea that Mutt
& Jeff" is old or that it il dete-
Rotating. It is the one musical
comedy that weathered all theat-
rical storms, and will live for
years innumerable. 1t is a play
for the entire family, without a
line or a situation that will bring
a blush to the cheeks of young
or old. Secure seats early and
thereby get the best.

The angel of good council has entered
our midst and taken from us an hon
ored and most highly esteemed citizen
Martin Barry. who died Tuesday,

him sixty-four years Of age. He spent
his entire life on this farm, attended
the country schools and is remembered
and fondly cherished by some of his
old schoolmates who are still living,
among them the distinguished Lieuten-
ant Eveans and the well known Blotz
and Cutter families whose boyhood days
were spent in childlike play around the
old Garrison Grove rock school house.
Martin 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, consisting of two hun
dred and forty acres.
Deceased never married but spent
his life happily on the farm with his
sisters. His friends were numbered by
his acquaintances as he was always
held in the highest esteem by his neigh.
bors and fellowmen.

Friday from months trip which af-
forded them the opportunity Of seeing
things worth while at Seattle, Salt

as equal to any section he had visited
in point of luxurious growth, prosperity
and happiness, and that there was no

PASSING OF A PIONEER OF 1886.

Mrs. John Pearce, who was born in
Clearwater. Cornwall, England, on the
Oath of July, 1926. died in Mineral Point,
Wisconsin, September Srd, 1915. Her
maiden name was Ann Whitford. and
she was scarcely ten years of age when
| she with her parents came to America.
Her family almost Immediately settled
In the then small mining camp of Min
eral Point.
In October, 1913. Miss Whitford be-
came the wife of MIR. George kisling-
bury, who died in November, 1871.
Seven children we're born of this union,
only one OF whom remains to witness
the placing of the mortal form of a
/ Gender, loving mother in its last earthly
resting place Mrs. ida White of Ra-
cine, Wis. besides whom one sister,
Mrs. Christiana Lanksbury of Omaha,
Neb., eleven grandchildren and one
great-grandchild constitute the surviv-
ing family. On March II, 1873, deceased
became the wife of MIR. John Pearce,
who passed away May rs. 1897.
For seventy-nine Mrs, Pearce has
been resident of Mineral Point and
has Witnessed the development of the
place from its very primitive state to
its present proud position among the
smaller cities OF Wisconsin. At the
time of her death she was doubtless
the oldest continuous resident of Min
eral Point. 1t was extremely interest
ing to listen to her remarkable CONVEX
sations, as she drew from the archives
of her memory facts relating to the
persons and deeds of those early days
Often has she been called on TO anthem
ticate transactions which written his
tory mad failed to verify. 1t is pleas
ing thought to her friends that her
mental faculties were not impaired by
multiplied years, and that she retained
an intelligent relation to the passing
affairs of life up to almost the end
Her friends were numerous among old
and young. She clearly exemplitied the
proverb, "He that would have friends
must show himself friendly" Her dis
position was strongly social. Perhaps
no lady of our city was more faithful
in calling upon friends than Mrs. Pearce
and no one enjoyed their return visits
meis than she. She was charter
member of the Alpha society of the
Congregational church and one of its
most faithful workers during the more
than thirty years of its activity.
Three days after her seth birthday
Mrs. Pearce fell and broke her hip.
TIE sad accident was the beginning of
the end, and after almost six weeks
of discomfort and of pain, during which
she received the constant ministries of
he1 family, she passed on to be with
those who had preceded her to the bet
ter life with God.
The funeral, which occurred on Sun
day afternoon, was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. w. j. C.. Bond, and was
very largely attended.

A Good Fair.

Platteville's annual fair was held
last week. 1t was good; better thar
the average and compared fayorably
with any. The decorated auto parade,
about twenty-five participating, was a
grand sight and the better babies con-
test proved a super-grand feature.
Like at all Wisconsin fairs the display
of live stock, field and garden products,
flowers and woman's handiwork can
not be improved on anywhere under
the sun.
AS with all fairs, the fraudulent pest
erept in on Platteville The case in
mind was a stand where lunch and
meals were supposed to be served. 1t
was that nearest the race tract and adj
jacent to the shady rest quarters.
Here so cents was grabbed off for a
