CERTAIN PAPERS
which he had left il her possession,
and these papers United States
detective, who had been on Traves'
track for some time, and who ar
rived in Winslow the day after his
arrest, demanded of that lady. She
declined to give them up, but the
detective got search-warrant,when
Mrs. Gaylord drew them from their
hiding-place, under the back porch
of Mrs. Howe's residence. They
were found to consist of a
draft for S15O,O00, some mining
shares, and other less interesting
documents. Since his arrest it has
appeared that Traves had not con-
fined his operations to Winslow,
but had also visited Darlington and
Mineral Point, at which places he
made his ability as Sunday-school
orator the prelude to real-estate
transactions. When ut Darlington
he also gave an exhibition at pistol
shooting, which quite astonished
the natives, his accuracy of aim,
shooting with either the right or
left hand, being marvellous. Alto
gether, Traves is wonderful man,
and why he remained in Winslow,
with the larger field of Chicago so
near at hand, will bc II matter Of
disappointment to Nick Geary and
the rest when they read of his do
ings, not to mention the real-estate
dealers, the Sunday. school superin-
tendents, and the shooting-gallery
men. And the great question in
Winslow now is, "Whot is Mrs.
Gaylord going to do about itl'
THE FAIR! THE FAIR.-Befcre
another issue of the TRIBUNE the
fair in this city will be in full blast.
AS the time approaches evidence in
creases that the attendance and
competition for the liberal premiums
in all departments will exceed any-
thing ever before known in Wiscoii-
sin except at the State Fair. Horses
to compete for the Citizens Pures
are coming from Illinois, Iowa and
all parts of Wisconsin. This de-
partment is sure to exceed anything
Of the kind ever had in the State.
Our hotels and barns are already
assured all the guests they can ac-
commodate. Applications for stalls
for fine stock are pouring in upon
the officers Of the Association daily.
The Grounds and Track have been
put in better order than ever before,
and everything else done possible
to insure satisfaction to all who at
tend. Those who fail to attend the
fair next week will miss the best
ever held in this section OF the
northwest.
WHILE other candidates are ac-
lively engaged in soliciting and
wire-pulling for the nomination for
Congress, Senator Little is entirely
inactive. This produces the inn
preston abroad that his friends
have no special interest in him;
which is mistake, as we are con-
vinced that the first choice of
large majority Of the Republicans
of Iowa county is Little, and that
he will receive the vote of the
county in the convention OF the 18th.
THE Secretary of the Iowa County
Fair, John Ralph, informs us that
the citizens of DodgevilIe are sub
scribing quite literally to the purse
for races at the coming fair, and
that the premiums for racing will
probably amount in the aggregate
to from $500 to 1000.
TIE greatest invention of the ago
is the Walking Motion Treadle for
sewing machines. This sanitary in
vention is recommended by all dis
physicians. 1t prevents
aches and pains that usually follow
the constant use OF the machine
with the old treadle. Can be at
tached to any machine. Price So,
put on. Cartwright q James are
agents for Iowa county.
The GOLDEN MEADOW Mills have
finished the new dam and now are pre-.
pared to do Custom Work on short
notice. A warranted be satisfactory
