sides numerous large and small flags
were waving all around it.
at eleven a. m. the citizens and
guests formed into procession and
marched to Ross grove, where thev
listened to mastery and well !eliv-
cred oration, untainted with the
spread eagle Infection, by 7. S. Ans
ley. AT three p. IN. the Ancient or
der of 1901 made grand parade on
the street, headed by a fine specimen
of Siamese elephants led by two
keepers, who seemed to have but lit
tie control over him, for in some way
they let him get "wet, which de-
moralized his front half. Following
in order came a coach mixed up with
politics, horse racing and fishing
party next Il two wheeled vehicle,
representing n one-horSe railroad
which fairly illustrated the dog
goneness of such behind-time insti-
tutions. Next a wild beast caravan,
then the minstrels car, made funny
by ludicrous wit and hce-downs !;
next the big gun that killed the
Britishers, followed by the vessel
and crew Of Christopher Colum bus
and last, but not least, the temper
ance saloon on wheels. The whole
procession was enlivened with nu-
merous cquestrians, fastideous'y
garbed, on horses and mules. The
order halted in front Of the post Of
fee, when their grand worthy deliv-
cred them an grafton.
In the evening the pleasure seek
ers witnessed the grandest display
of fire works ever seen in this coun-
ty, put Off under the direction Of
Dr. Vivian, which completed the
days programme.
4 Jolly procession came down the broad street,
Preceded by banners and music so sweet
That the marching and tr0mping Of the usands
of feet,
Was drown'd in the merrimcnt you'd every
where meet.
The flag at the head was the "red, white and
blue
And marching behind it was funny crew,
All intent on trying what each one coul3 do,
In the line Of iroicand "hua- ba loo"
The people they run in terror and haste,
To get out of the way Of the man and beast,
While the jolly crew Of the "Ship Of State,
Obcys the orders Of its gallant Mate.
Hard ahclm and hoist the sails,
Steady her, boys, steady before the gales.
There is now no storm upon the seas,
But the clouds portcnd coming breeze.
Now comes the dorkcy minstrel car,
Witt imp, besmearcd with pitch and tar,
Among the troup there was one bigger
\ curly headed blatant niggcr
lie dauccd and sung and took his ewicecr,
This funny, witty "Greeubach' nigger
It is thus the good old day was spent
IN mood patriotic and menimcut.

! 10 SatleF US III. "A large portion OF
these counties have long been neg
lected for many years without out
let, except by the Mineral Point r,
r., we were tributary to Illinois
aud our commercial and financial
relations confined to Chicago. Al
though rich in live stock. butter,
cheese, ond all farm products, be-
sides valuable lead and zinc ores,
with an intelligent and enterprising
people, Wisconsin, as a State, really
knows less of us than any other
three counties of equal population
and breadth in the State. But soon
this condition of affairs will be
changed. The Northwestern prom
ises at no distant day to afford di-
rect communications With the State
Capital and with Milwaukee. The
enterprise of this company is great,
and its ability never has been fully
tested. The road from Madison to
Milwaukee will be built perhaps
this year.
The Milwaukee X st, Paul are
likely to build their long proposed
extension from Monroe to Gratiot.
They have lately purchased the mar.
! row guage from Lone Rock to Rich
land Center, hence we have faith in
the rumor that the Mineral Point
L. Il. will be compelled to pool It's
issues with one Of those roads. If
the N orthwestern should be extend
ed to Mineral Point from the North,
it would have tho power TO materi-
ally iniure the business of the Min
eral Point road, aud practically COM
pei this road to be extended or sell
out to more enterprising parties.
Two roads competing for business
would be great advantage to our
/ place; 40 ground of complaint could
then exist either in freight or fares,
and the people would be benefited.
Now is the time to move TO secure
. these roads. and direct these elements
Of business and wealth that are about
to take shape in our community.
Every citizen Of Mineral Point
should take a lively interest in
bringing about both these results.
1t is true we are now paying heavy
taxes, but these increased adyantag-
es will open new lines Of business,
new channels Of commerce, aud
bring new growth and attending
prosperity. These additional ad-
vantages will make this and adjacent
counties more desirable for residen-
ces, and will attract men who desire
an opportunity to invest to examine
our situation No new villages are
likely to spring up, and if the bus
mess men of Mineral Point and
Dodgeviile exhibit due enterprise
these places will continue to be the
leading towns Of this county, and
have before them a future that is
full Of promise.
p. S.-Since the foregoing was
put ia type we have been reliably
informed that the Mineral Point
road has been purchased outright
by the Milwaukee 4 St. Paul Co.,
and that it viii Immediately be eX-
tended to Dodgeville, and that the
Monroe branch is to be extquded to
Graiiot. Both extensions are likely
to be completed by the first Of Sep
tcmber Thus the Mineral Point
railroad Is no more.

Another innovation was made at the
close of the last term 10y holding
the examination for admission to the
| High School ut that time, instead Of
| delerling it 10 the beginning Of the
next year, This was done Tor three
reasons: first, because the pupils are
in better condition to pass a success
/ full examination at the end of term
than after the lapse of a long yaca-
ton in which much may 5C forgot
ten; second, because any little deIi-
ciencics may be discovered in time
to be made up by those who wish TO
study during vacation; and third,
because the opening of the year IN
the High School involves much mis-
celantq qus work on the part OF teach
ers, thus rendering the examination
OF n large number Of papers very
inconyenient, and causing delay in
the proper classification, and the be-
| ginning OF the years work.
The candidates at this eXamiua-
ton consisted OF the preparatory
class that had occupied seats in the

pose at the beginning OF the fall
term by studying a short time each
day Of the vacation on the subject
or subjects in which there was a de-
lcieucy. 1t is possible that still
others will accomplish as good re
suits If they choose TO devote some
considerable part Of the vacation TO
study; though in case Of the younger
candidates it is doubtful whether
this course will be wise. The ques
