day. Honestly the drys did not ex-
pect the licking they got, nearly TO-

to their complaint regarding fraudu-
lent voting. But that they were
distanced is certain and as the days
grow the truth is coming out. AS the

fearful that st. Paul, with its known
wet following, would get the best of
the argument and the old jealousy

worked overtime by the wet leaders
and it prevailed. Had Minneapolis
voted dry St. Paul, even as wet as il
is, would have been tackled by the op'

thing of the past. AS to Minneapolis

Stockton, Cal, Sept. %, 1915.
Mr., b. j. Bennett. Publisher Tribune
As native of Mineral Point, and be-
ing interested in those of the old town
who are visiting our beautiful state,
and thinking that you no doubt will be
I interested in their movements. take
the liberty to report some of the move
ments Of Mr.. A. A. Wallace, whom we
were glad to entertain for a few days
recently.
After showing Mr.. Wallace around
our city | took him for ride through
! some of the historic parts of the state.
Leaving here at 5 a. IN. we motored 20
Single Springs, Diamond Springs,
Placerville. Coloma, Folsom, and then
returned home, finishing a li5-mile trip
over the very best of improved highway
although it led us through some of the
toughest country in the state.
We saw great many of the old
landmarks and visited at some of the
oldest homes in those section. At
Coloma we visited the spot on which
stood the old mill where Marshall dis
covered gold, saw the monument erect
ed in honor of him, and picked peaches,
pears and plums from some of the first
trees that were planted there in the
early days by Joseph Thomas of Dodge
vile. At Folsom we watched some of
the largest dry land dredgers ever built
scoop the earth to depth of six feet
into the washing machine where the
gold was taken from it, simple process
and one which is being used great
deal at the present time.
! assure you we were glad to have
Mr.. Wallace with us and trust that any
one from the dear old town who comes

who for many years previous to thirty

Death of a Life Time Citizen.

John Ross was born in Mineral Point
June 26, l849, and passed from this life
September 30, 1915.
Deceased was the son of Dr. David
Ross and Margaret Sproule Ross. Dur
ing the cholera epidemic when he was
but three months old, both parents died
and were buried the same day, and he
was reared by his grandparents.
John Ross always lived in this COM
munity where he engaged in mining,
and was known to all as quiet, hard
working, home-loving man, a kindly
and generous neighbor and friend. He
possessed a splendid intellectual mind
but his unrestricted taciturnity deprived
the community more or less Of the ben
efits thereof. Few Of our. citizens read
more or kept better posted on events
of the day than be, and very few reached
more clear or more just conclusions.
He was married in 1863 to Miss Mar
garet Brown, who remains to mourn
his departure. He is also survived by
two sons David Of New York City and
John Of Chicago both of whom are
high in rank 10 the business circles Of
those stirring and world renowned cities.
They we're present for the funeral
which took place from the home Sun
day afternoon, Oct 3, Rev. CIV. Emery
officiating. Interment in Graceland
