The Republican City Caucus will assemble in Saturday evening, Aug. at 7:30 o'clock, for the choice of choosing delegates to the county convention, to be held on the 15th inst. A full attendance desired. The City Com. Dr. Carson offers his residence in the city caucus Saturday. The meeting is about completed, and the threshing is in order. The Elkhorn camp meeting is postponed to the last week this month. The hall boys of this city have been at the Shullsburg club to play a game in Monroe for $100. A new bass horn has been added to the city band. The instrument is to be given on Tuesday, October. Sharp is to be in charge of the fruit gatherers are forbidden to trespass on lands owned by the county without permission. The Lancaster Drive Association will be held on August 1st. They also have a chance to get a higher time of the year than the chickens will in the winter. The weather is now favorable for the upcoming elections. The Tribune appreciates the importance of the campaign, but as they occur, we can't well see why we can't see the democratic party in the upcoming election.

Harris was kicked by a horse on Tuesday. The horse and threw the animal's neck for it. The horse kicked at him in doing so. A cork of the shoe made an ugly gash in the lower part of the chin, while one side of his face was badly bruised and two teeth were knocked out, but miraculously the boy escaped a fatal result. All members of the W. V. T. U. are requested to be present at the next weekly meeting, Tuesday, Aug. 14, at 3 o’clock, as business of importance will come before the society. The C. M. & St. P. R. R. Co. will sell land excursion tickets at a fare one way, for the round trip to all land points in Northern Iowa, Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska on the following dates: Aug. 21, Sept. 11, and 25th, Oct. 9th, and 23rd. N. H. Snow, Agt. Six cars of stone from the Red Rock quarry, near Gratiot, were shipped last week to Chicago to be used for building purposes. This stone is similar to the Lake Superior sandstone and is considered very valuable for building purposes. The Chicago & St. Paul company have put a side track in the quarry and given Mr. Sinclair, the proprietor, all the facilities for shipping. There are ten men employed in the quarry. Over in Oregon, Dane County, this state, is said to be a fellow named Dennis Donahue, who last Saturday amused himself and friends by swallowing several bottles of beer. Cigars, taking for desert a small bottle containing a stick of fused caustic potassa. Emetics were promptly given and his life saved. His stomach now contains several jackknives, lead pencils, and other choice articles of food swallowed last spring. The P. M. Sunday School of this city will have its annual basket picnic, in Jewell’s grove next Wednesday, Aug. 16th. Procession will form at the church, at 9:30 a.m. City band will be in attendance all day. Friends from the farms are invited to bring their vehicles with as much seating capacity as possible. Your kindness in previous years has been greatly appreciated and has contributed largely to our success. Come again and enjoy a much needed day of rest and recreation. If weather is unfavorable on the day named, picnic will be held on Thursday the 16th. Com. The Dodgeville Chronicle is disposed to handle our base ball club rather sneeringly. It says our boys were badly beaten at Shullsburg and Warren, and advises them to abandon the game and play three-corner cat, etc. While the boys were defeated on their trip, the score does not prove that they were badly beaten. They rode in a bus from this city to Shullsburg (20 miles in the morning and on the afternoon of the same day held the Shullsburg boys down to seven runs, and made four thereby. Is that bad playing under the circumstances? Since then the Shullsburg club came to this city one evening and met our boys on the diamond the next day, and the game resulted 11 to 4 in favor of Mineral Point. And is that bad playing? We claim to have the best club in the county, Mr. Chronicle, and the boys are ready. To defend that claim. Tippecanoe Men. —Mr. Win. Baiabridge of Mifflin voted for Gen. W. H. Harrison in 1840 at Galena, Ill., Thomas Conroy, of Highland, voted the same ticket in St. Louis, Mo., likewise Amos Hayes, of this city, he voting at Springfield, Ill. All rejoice at the prospect of living to vote for Ben Harrison in 1888, “A Shining Man.”—The many Iowa county friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Waggoner are pained to learn of the death of their daughter Nellie, aged about 19 years. Added to the loveliness of from and feature, was a beauty of heart and intellect that secured to her the love and admiration of all who came within the circle of her acquaintance. The loss to her parents and home is irreparable. Words of sympathy are powerless to help or comfort in an affliction such as theirs. Death lies on her like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower in all the field. Congressional Delegates. The Tribune suggests that at the Republican county convention, to be held next Wednesday, it would be well enough to elect delegates to the Congressional Convention. Personal Points. Prof. Cabauis and family are off for about a month’s camping and fishing. Alex Bennett who left last fall for the Evanston, Ill., school, and to make that place his home, spent last Sunday among old associates and friends in this city. He was accompanied by Bert Martin, of Belmont. Miss None James is home again after a few weeks’ vacation. Weeks visit in Milwaukee. —Hon. J. W. Rewey and wife spent the whole of Saturday in our city. —Richard Tennet is here from Omaha for a short visit. Dr. R. D. Pulford left Tuesday morning to attend the annual session of the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association now being held at Palmyra. The Doctor is the honored president of the association, an honor well bestowed, as he is about the oldest druggist in the state. —John Strachan is home from his visit in Galena. —Prof. Eden, formerly principal of the Mineral Point High School, has been elected to the principalship of the Glenders Academy, California. —Harry Crow and Dick Waukee came up from Darlington last Thursday evening to hear our band concert. —The Misses Mary and Carrie Kessler have gone to Barneveld for a visit with their sister. —From the Ft. Smith, Ark., Daily Times we learn that Win. Osborne, formerly of this city, but more recently of Pittsburg, Kan., has accepted a position of cashier and bookkeeper in one of the leading establishments of Ft. Smith. A Ridgeway writer to the Chronicle's last issue furnishes the following sad item of news; George Kahl, living south of Blue Mounds, was struck and instantly killed by lightning on Tuesday afternoon. His clothes were literally torn off his body, one of his horses was also killed, and his brother that was with him was very severely burned around the face and other parts of the body. It seems that they were out setting a binder and were about to return to the house out of the rain when the bolt struck them, the man that was with them was badly shocked. Mr. Kahl’s sudden and unexpected death will cast a gloom. Over the whole community, he leaves a wife and six children surviving him who will have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. 11 hue's some railroad news sent from Dodgeville to the Milwaukee Sentinel under date of August 5. Weigh it in the scales of your own judgment: “There are ominous signs here of recent development of a genuine boom for Dodgeville. Since the Illinois Central has taken such a firm grasp on all the Dodgeville eastern business, especially Milwaukee and Chicago freight, the Northwestern company has become thoroughly awakened to the importance of taking some immediate steps to counteract this drain on its business, and will bring its road right down as near the business center of the town as practicable, and after which it is supposed the boom will commence by perhaps an extension of the Northwestern to Mineral Point and Highland, which will nerve the Milwaukee St. Paul to an extension of its line from Mineral Point to Lone Rock, and from Richland Center to Viroqua, making a through line to St. Paul. Everything is pointing to Dodgeville as a railroad battlefield for some time to come.” “THE FIRST, THE WORLD AFTERWARDS.” Mineral Point Protectionists, The establishment and maintenance for the first few years of its existence of the Mineral Point Zinc Works was on the basis of protection to home interests and home labor. In this good work all our people rejoiced, including the free trade editor of the Democrat. Mr. David U. Jones was not then, we believe, a resident here, and had no part in the matter, so he cannot feel that what we say is in the least personal to him. As we all know the organization of the company and the establishment of the works was the outgrowth of a conviction that something should be done to revive the prosperity of our city and furnish employment for a portion of our surplus labor. With this view, citizens put their capital in, without hope of even moderate dividends on their stock; content if only a return of the principal could be realized, and the works kept in operation. To encourage and protect the industry the legislature was asked to enact that the works he exempted from taxation for the space of three years. All our people approved. The people of the city cheerfully paid the state, county and local taxes called for, none complaining that his taxes would be less if $50,000 of property comprising the zinc works was assessed and paid its pro-rate share —say 7 or 8 percent of the whole. Why were all glad to do this? Because we believed it was to our interest as a community that we should do so, and we are now convinced that the belief was well founded. The zinc works thus established and protected have more than repaid us the amount of tariff we contributed to it, and rather than see its cheerful fires die out, and allow “the dull spider to weave his web across the throat of its furnaces,” would we not all continue indefinitely the same course of protection? And would we not all, democrats and republicans, free traders and protectionists, rejoice at an opportunity to secure other manufacturing in our city, to furnish employment for other scores or hundreds of laborers and mechanics, by extending to such establishments even greater protection? The principle of protection as maintained by import duties, or tariffs, is the same in effect. The difference only being that the one is a local application while the other is national. Sealed bids for the delivering of 80 tons Cross Creek Lehigh coal for city schools will be received on or before Aug. 13, 1888, at my office. I W. L. Tallman, School Supt. LINDEN LOCALS Mrs. Inghram and her son Tommy, Maude and Ida Smith and Hurt Smith took in Barnum’s circus at Madison on the 1st inst. Charlie Inghram, from Iron Ml., made a flying visit here last Friday. Tom Batten and John V. Rule bought a carload of stock steers in Chicago last week. Tom bought two ponies also. Mrs. Wallace, of Darlington, is the guest. Mrs. I.M. Goldsworthy. Our public school is to commence on the 10th of September with the following corps of teachers: W. H. Detrich, principal; Miss Fannie Goobsell, assistant; W. H. Arthur, intermediate; and Miss Mary E. Jones, primary. Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Jacobs were called to Hazel Green on Saturday by a dispatch to attend the funeral of Mrs. John Dolphin, late of Nebraska, a sister of Mrs. Jacobs. Rev. M. Dinsdale accompanied his daughter, Mrs. Swinson, to her home at Ottawa, Kansas, this week; she having been visiting with her parents the past two months. Z. Dinsdale is determined to go out of business and he therefore offers his stock of dry goods at cost prices. A good chance to buy goods cheap. Upon being asked for an opinion concerning the outlook in this, the third congressional district, a Milwaukee man refilled: “Mr. LaFollette will be unanimously renominated, and probably by acclamation. He deserves this distinction. He has done Wisconsin honor, as well as the third district during the two terms he has been in congress. Mr. LaFollette already ranks high as a statesman, and I say to you, and I believe it as much as I ever believed anything, that if his life is spared, he will, within ten or fifteen years, rank among the first of American statesmen. I have a particular regard for men who have come up as LaFollette did. His father died when he was a boy he had to work his way through college, and besides that did much for the support of others of the family. He has made good use of every minute of his life.” He has devoted himself to untiring and practical efforts in representing his district. Of course, he will be renominated and he ought to remain in congress as long as he is willing to serve, for he is a first-class congressman and the state and nation need such congressmen. No farmer can afford to have his boys work hard all summer without acknowledging it. You cannot do it better than by buying a new buggy to take his best girl to the Mineral Point Fair. We have a nice line to select from and are selling cheaper during next 4 weeks. W. Martin A. Toay. I WONDER Why the man who patronizes the photographer or the barber generally wants his own mug? If a person is bruised by falling into soft water? If a physician who is always treating his patients can be a consistent temperance man? If it is not easier for the office to find the man than it is for the man to find the office? Do those parties who furnish us by mail and otherwise items for this department, think we are so imprudent as to publish them without knowing any of the particulars concerning the same? If those who complain of so many physical troubles should not be thankful for having such a splendid fund of health to resist so many attacks? Who can’t afford a dollar political hat? If the big stocking displayed on High Street this week is regarded as an argument in favor of putting wool on the free list? How many would be glad to give their white plugs away? If the lady who went fishing last week expected to catch a cured herring? It's the first catch of the kind ever made, so far as history discloses. . Why the “four-forty-five” plaster was not pasted onto the city official guilty of disturbing the peace? Full SALE. A desirable residence in the city of Mineral Point.

The young ladies of Viroqua have organized a Republican club, "The preamble of their constitution is as follows: “We, the young women of Viroqua, believing that the first concern of all good government is the virtue and sobriety of the people and the purity of their homes, and believing that the Republican party cordially sympathizes with all wise and well-directed efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality, do, in order to form an effective organization, by which we may give to the Republican party our heartfelt sympathy and earnest support, agree to this constitution for the Young Women’s Republican Club of Viroqua.” The officers are: President, Lucy Dawson; vice-president, Meda Harper; secretary, Helen Neff; treasurer, Libbie Spellburn; executive committee, “Jim” Smith, Edith Blake, Laura McCullock, Annie Nichols, Alberta Pulver, and the president and secretary.

From the flurine Fishing through the ice has been very dull here this week on account of the exuberant condition of the mercurial fluid. An nice carriage marc belonging to P. Smelker of this village, and valued at over $600, died of inflammation very suddenly a few days ago. Mr. John M. Dale, of this village, while in Freeport last Saturday on the circus grounds, met with an accident which sprained his foot very severely, by his crutch which he uses, dropping into a tent gate hole. Capt. Win. W. Likens, of Company 11, lad Wisconsin Infantry, or any soldier of that company or regiment now living, will confer a favor by writing to Mrs. Emma Fry, Eureka Humboldt Co., California, who is the widow of C.W. Fry. It is estimated there are over 100,000 cubic yards of rock in the first cut on military ridge near Dodgeville, which will have to be removed for the construction of the line of the Milwaukee Central road when it is extended from here, and then there will be another large cut under the track of the Northwestern road. While at Milwaukee last week we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. F.C. Elliott, formerly of Dodgeville, and now doing a thriving business at Waukesha, the Saratoga of the west. The Dr. has purchased a fine residence lot on Madison way, near the depots of the Wisconsin Central. and Chi. & Northwestern, and has placed himself in the direct line of financial promotion. Hon. D. Carter, of Lancaster, is here holding a special session of the Iowa county court for Judge Jones, who has been somewhat indisposed for several weeks. The principal case being considered by the court is the petition of the estate of the late Capt. I. Terry, of Mineral Point, for an accounting by the executors of the will of Hon. Alex. Wilson, lately deceased, being one of the executors of the last will and Testament of Capt. Terry. The case will probably occupy several days. We were informed this week by Mr. Thus. Ellwood, of the firm of Ellwood Bros., proprietors of the Dodgeville nursery and vineyard, that the prospect for the grape crop this year is most excellent. The vines are well laden with fruit, the bunches large and well filled, the fruit large and healthy and well advanced toward maturity. The conclusion reached from the present state of development is, that the crop will be unusually large if no blight befall it in the future. All persons to whom premiums were awarded last year by the Iowa county agricultural society, will receive one-half the amount to which they are entitled by applying to F. W. Stratman, treasurer, in Dodgeville. On account of the unfavorable weather during the fair last year, the net receipts were not sufficient to pay one-half the premiums, but the executive committee at a meeting held since the fair, decided to appropriate another fund to the payment of premiums, and by so doing the society is enabled to pay to each person one-half. Half the amount due, the remainder to be paid as soon as the society, has sufficient funds.
