Mission at st. Paul's Church
Grand Success.

The Mission conducted by the
Fathers Hagerty and Logan at ST.
Paul's church closed on Sunday even
ing. The largest attendance of any
time being present to participate in
the closing and to receive the Papal
blessing.
During the week the attendance
grew so rapidly that many were turn
ed away every evening. The Fathers
had their work well in hand and con-
Quoted the Mission in a manner that
attracted all to them.
During the week more than eigh-
teen hundred communions were dis
tributed. AT the close on Sunday
evening a branch of the Holy Name
Society was established with more
than one hundred members.
The Holy Name Society is a purely
church society for men only, and has
for it's purpose the maintaining of
reverence and respect for the name
of God and repression of obscene and
filthy talking.
The week was one of spiritual
profit for the congregation and for
all who had the privilege of hearing
the instructions can not help but
profit by them.
The exercises closing Sunday even
| ing were both impressive and solemn
| The last admonition to the congrega-
| tion was that they must continue to
| be guided by their spiritual director,
the pastor, in order to persevere in
| their good resolutions.

u. S. ARMS DELEGATES
HOLD FIRST POWW0W
Hold Conference in Preparation for
Americas Part in the Arrna-
ment Parley.

Washington, Oct. 13.-A month of
careful preparation for the American
governments part in the armament
conference began with the first meet
ing here of the four delegates selected
by President Harding to speak for
the United States.
Diplomatic, military and naval data
Of specific nature already had been
compiled for the guidance of the dele
cations, but the real task of fitting the
whole mass of information together
and building upon it constructive
program remained to be done by the
delegates themselves.
The first meeting was designed to
do no more than scratch the surface
Of the problem ahead of the American
representatives. It was called by Sec
retary Hughes, head Of the delegation,
to permit of a preliminary survey of
the situation and of general outline
of the things to be done.
President Harding had communicat-
ed his ideas through Mr.. Hughes, and
memoranda were available covering
various points of technical informa-
tion, but personal interviews with the
President and with military and naval
experts were part of the delegations s
plan during it's period of preparation.

Power from the Wisconsin River
Plant.

1t is announced by the Wisconsin
River Power Company that the new
transmission line carrying power
from the Prairie du Sac Hydro Elec-
trio Plant to supply the City of Min
eral Point is practically completed
and Mineral Point will be getting it's
power from the Prairie du Sac plant
within very short time.
The Company wishes to caution
the users of current that it is pos
sible that Interruptions may occur on
the new line, because of the fact that
it is new line. The material going
into the construction of this line has
been selected and inspected with
great care and yet it has been the
experience of the Company that
faulty material sometimes creeps in,
thereby causing Interruptions to
service. The faulty material may lay
in a weak insulator, faulty construc-
ton of a switch, or insufficient clear
ance between the 33, 900 volt line and
trees. These points cannot always
be determined until after the current
has actually flowed through the wires
and therefore it is quite probable
that Interruptions will occur on this
line the same as they would on any
other nnw machinery aDDaratuS
Delay in the shipping of the auto
matte switches, etc., has been ex-
perienced and until this material is
received and installed-the Company
hopes this will be within a very few
days-some trouble is liable to occur
because the line is not thoroughly
automatic, as it will be later on.
The Company wishes to assure the
people of Mineral Point that they are
anxious to serve them at the earliest
possible moment, but wish them to
realize that a new transmission line
is about the same as new mill being
put into operation: that is, until it
has operated a time, all the weak
points cannot be located. The pa
irons may rest assured, however that
Interruptions will be cut to a mini
mum; that the line will be carefully
watched and inspected for weak
points.

MOTHER OF RULER A SUICIDE
Parent of Ousted Ruler of China
Dies After Quarrel With
DoWaqer.

Peking, China, Oct. 1S.-Princess
Chin, mother of the boy emperor,
Hsuan-tung, who was ousted from
power February II, 1912, died on Octo-
Der 1, and it is reported she COM
lnitted suicide by taking opium. The
reason for her suicide is attributed by
reports from the imperial court to a
quarrel between Pincess Chin and the
empress dowager, Princess Chun. 1t
is declared that the empress dowager
desired that the boy should marry a
daughter of President su-Shi-Chang,
but the princess supported the erst-
while monarch's wishes to marry an
other lady.

BLUE GRASS TELLS.

A stock buying firm of Chicago
makes the following statement which
will be of interest to stock raisers
here:
"The extreme top of the market at
1915 for cattle of their weight were
sold this morning for Mr.. Edward
Gribble of Mineral Point, Wis
This was a very choice load of
branded Hereford steers weighing
1441 pounds, and while they were
very fat when they went up there
last spring yet they show net gain
of 10 pounds per head on the fam
Gus blue grass of that country, hav-
ing had no corn since they went up,
except little just lately to harden
them up little. This we believe, is
the highest any cattle have brought
from Iowa county this season."

SENATOR P. C. KNOX
is TAKEN BY DEATH
Pennsylvania Statesman Is Stricken
With ApopIexy in His Home at
Washington.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Philander
Chase Knox, United States senator
from Pennsylvania, former attorney
general and secretary Of state and
dominant figure in the last four Re-
publican administrations, died sudden
ly in the library of his home here.
He was in his sixty-ninth year.
A stroke of apoplexy as he was
walking from the library to the din
ing room caused his death. He had
spent a short time in the library prior
to preparing for dinner with Mrs.
Knox and his secretary, Warren f.
Martin.
Senator Knox returned to the
United States on Saturday aboard the
Celtic after several weeks spent in
England. Accompanied by Mrs. Knox
he had brief vacation, refraining
studiously from political discussions
and public appearance, although
numerous invitations were extended
by British leaders.
On his arrival in New York Senator
Knox had complained of feeling tired.
In spite of that he insisted on coming
to Washington for day or two be-
fore going to his home at Valley
Forge, Pa. He was in the senate on
Tuesday and Wednesday. He told Mr..
Martin he felt much better.
When Mrs. Knox came to call him
to dinner the senator rose from his
desk and started to follow her from
the room. He had taken but few
steps when he collapsed suddenly and
sank to the floor.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2O,1921.
JUSTICE FOR MINERAL
POINT.

A recent edition of the Dodgeville
Chronicle opposed the construction
of the Mineral Point-Dodgeville road
on the ground that the road was
good enough for the present and
ought not to be constructed until
taxes were reduced.
The Chronicles concern over the
burden of the tax payer is entirely
proper, but it is tardy. 1t did not
manifest itself during the spring and
summer when every other main trav-
elled road leading into the county
seat was being either repaired, relo-
Gated or resurfaced.
Mineral Point has been sadly dis
criminated against in the matter of
decent roads and another year has
gone by with no relief. The Platte
ville-Mineral Point road has become
so bad that many people desiring to
come to Mineral Point from Platte
Vile travel forty-four miles by way
of Montfort and Dodgeville to avoid
the twenty miles between Mineral
Point and Plattevile. Practically
all of the Dubuque Madison traffic
goes by way of Montfort and Dodge
vile and when some unfortunate
takes the regular road from Platte
Vile to Mineral Point he bitterly re-
grets it.
The Dodgeville-Mineral Point road
used by more Iowa county citizens
than any other road in the county
with the exception of "19" is in a
dangerous condition for travel after
every rain.
The same may be truthfully said
of every other highway leading into
the city.
The Dodgeyille Chronicle pow
erful newspaper-with heavy sup
port in Mineral Point and vicinity is
ungracious when it seeks to block
the attempt of Mineral Point to have
one decent road connecting it with
the outside world.
The Chronicle claims that it's great
editorial purpose is to build up Iowa
county-Mineral Point is part of
Iowa county with over one-tenth of
it's population. Iowa County cannot
be built up by maintaining a barrier
of bad roads around it's largest city.
We believe the Chronicle to be big
enough and broad enough to reverse
itself on this proposition and support
the road.
