was received here by relatives Mon
day, Sept. %. Mrs Roesch, who was
previous to her marriage, Miss Nellie
Osborne, was a beautiful and talented
young lady that passed many years of
life in Potosi. She graduated from the
Potosi high school with the class of
1912, and her many friends here are
grieved to hear of her death. She is
survived by her husband, one son,
Phillip, her mother, Mrs. Frank Morris

brother, Harold Osborne, half sis
ter, Miss Anna Morris, and a half

The bazaar and banquet of the Al
tar Society of st. Thomas church last
Wednesday was a success beyond all
question. The Woodman hall was
packed to the doors and hundreds of
others were unable to gain admission.
People came from Platteville, Lancas-
ter, Dubuque, Cuba City, and many
other nearby towns to help swell the
crowd. Many beautiful articles were
on sale and everything offered went to
eagers buyers at coed prices. Some
other fine things such as quilts were
ratified off and won by parties whose
names we did not get at the tine.
The supper that started at about five
o'clock drew immense crowds to tie
tables that were spread with 1nnllm-
cradle good things to eat, and the
ladies in charge of this department
were workers and deserve great cred
it for the manner in which they kept
the tables replenished until every
thing was exhausted. The proceeds of
the bazaar and supper approximate
$500 and had the hall been large
enough to accommodate the people who
came this sum would have been sew
eral hundred dollars more. Protes-
tants, Catholics, Jews and all denOm-
nations except he "klux khan" joined
together to make this eventful occas-
ion the browning success it proved to
be. What Potosi needs is a larger
hall than any now there. Something
like the Muller nall on the ridge, 30
x80 feet.
