The County Fair.

The twenty-ninth annual fair Of
the Iowa county agricultural society
held at Dodgeville last week was,
considering the unfavorable weather,
decided success. The fair was ad-
vertised to be held on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday; but on
account of the wet weather on Tues
day, it was decided to hold the fair
on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day. Notwithstanding the weather
was still unfavorable, on Wednes-
day there was good attendance and
large number of entries in the
several departments. John M. Els
worth. of Dodgeville, and others, en-
tered some fine horses. ]. j. Ross
& Sons, of this city, entered num-
Der of animals from their fine herd
of short horns, and the Holstein and
Jersey breeds were also represented.
The exhibit in the hall was un-
sually large and fine-the display of
fruits, vegetables and cereals being
unprecedented. On Thursday the
weather was pleasant, and large
crowd was in attendance. On Fri
day the attendance was not so large,
on account of the postponement of
the fair not being generally known.

At Ones Wits End.

From early childhood until old
age is succeeded by the grave one
is often at ones wits end to know
what to do under a given set of cir
cumstances, and those circumstances
are invariably pulling. The whin-
ing schoolboy with his satchel and
shining morning face, creeping like
snail unwillingly to school, is at his
wits end to know how to master his
lesson. The youth is at his wits,
end to know what business or ayo-
cation to follow. The lover is at his
wits end to know whether the lady
OF his love returns his ardent attach
ment or not. The husband is often
at his wits end to know how he is
going to make both ends meet. The
father IS constantly at his wits end
to know how to train up his children
in the way they should 60. The
wife and mother is often at her wits
end to know which is the best soap
to use for general household pur-
poses. Let her try n. X. Fairbank
Il Cos famous Lakeside and
!" White Star" brands and she will
use no Others and will never be at
her wits end on this point again.
These highly perfumed soaps are
especially adapted for the toilet, the
bath and the laundry, and are for
sale at all groceries stores.

Pure Teas

Pan-FiIei Uncolored Japan Tea.
No poisonous mixture for false
coloring-Prussian blue. Clay, Indi-
go, Blacklead, etc.
The prevalence of adulterated
food prompts honorable dealers to
exercise great care in serving their
patrons.
Pure Natural-Leaf Japan Tea.
As it was when introduced here in
1860 and its purity gave it popular
ity.
ADULTERATED TEAS
That a large percentage of the
entire importion of Japan Tea is
adulterated is fact well understood
by tea importers. Very little, if
any, of that which is known as
basket-fredn and sun-dried y
escapes " manipulation . and doc
toring" in the process of retiring
previous to packing at the Japan
outports. This operation is called
facing" the object being to i'm
prove the appearance by giving
greater uniformity of color to a
variety of shades of leaves and i'm
parting more gloss than if prepared
as natural tea; trick or deception
to increase the salable quality, max
ing poor grades appear good; also
making weight and saving in the
shrinkage consequent to a thorough
ly prepared natural tea.
Formerly, when the green or
grayish-blue color and other similar
shades prevailed, the paint or COM
pound consisted variously of Prus-
sian blue, gypsum, indigo, tumeric,
clay powder, soapstone, sulphate OF
lime, etc, made into a stiff paste
and applied while in the firing-pan.
This coloring was then carried to
a great excess, become very apparent
to consumers and retailers, who pro-
tested against it, influencing a
change from the conspicuous gray
green to modified shade, produced
by a compound of which the chief
substance is plumbago (black lead

is thereby attained, but the decep-

usually subjected to the black lead
process, and claimed to be the same
as the Tycoon brand.
The original and only importers
of The Tycoon Tea " guarantee it
an absolutely-pure tea; also, it is
selected from the districts which
produce the finest and best teas,
early spring growth, and it is the
best Japan Tea imported in all re-
spects.
The undersigned, having di1ect
arrangements with the importers for
a constant supply, confidently recon-
mend this PAN-FIRED UNCoLoRED, or
natural leaf tea, as the best and
purest Japan tea ever offered.
