He's TItat Kind Himself.

"The lawyer is merely sort of intel
ectual strumpst He is prepared to se-
eeive big fees and make the best of
either side of any case. He is a sort of
burglar in the realm of mentality. It
is fortunate thing for the lawyers that
whenever a man is created who has the
peculiar faculty for legal requirements
and controversy that at the same time
enough fools spring into existence to
give him a coed living. 1t is illustrat-
ed in the story of the man who studied
for the ministry, and occupied the pull
pit for number of years without sac
cess, and them studied medicine and
practiced this profession for number
of years without success, and then
studied law, and entering upon its nrac-
tice made fortune at it. He declared
he had found men more willing to paw
for having their own way than to be
guaranteed their souls or to keep sheir
bodies whole My ideal of great law
yer is that great English attorney who
accumulated fortune of FL, OOas 900,
and left it all in will to make home
for idiots, declaring that he wanted to
give it back to the people from whom
he took it. Bob Ingersou.

LOST AN ARM.-The Bloomington
Record reports that John Morrow, Jr.,
who was tor years resident of the
vicinity of Bloomington, but of late re-
siding at SibleY. Iowa, lost his right
arm in threshing machine cylinder a
few days ago. The machine was
stopped for moment and he stepped
to the platform for the purpose of ar
ranging it, but by some accident he
slipped, his hand becoming caught in
the cylinder which had not then stopped
revolving, and the teeth stripped it bare
of flesh and crushed the bones so ter
ribly that amputation at the elbow was
necessary. He has since recovered.

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.
CHICAGo. September %, 1SsG.

Firmer foreign markets and an in
crease in the amount of wheat on pas
sage to Europe, has caused better
market here. General business is &C
tive, but by one of those sudden chang
es often witnessed, the feeling on the
whole list of grains has turned suddenly
bearish, and the improvement in prices
in the first part of the week is lost.
Wheat opened rather strong to-day, but
through lack of outside orders, it closed
weak, with the recent advance lost.
Corn is weaker and lower, despite small
receipts and good cash demand. Small
grain is quiet. Dairy products are firm
and in better demand. Cattle are in
large supply, but there is an improved
demand, and the best are firm, as
prime beeves are scarce. Hogs are to
10c. lower; excepting the assorted best,
the supply is again excessive. Prime
sheep remain steady at good prices,
but common lots are lower.

ACCIDENTS. Holloway, while
driving "Helen," mare entered in the
three-minute race Friday at the fair,
met with an accident. In the second
heat, when approaching the home
stretch, the horse, which was running,
gave sudden turn, landing Holloway
in the dust, breaking one shaft off the
sulky and decorating one of the hind
legs of the mare. Holloway had his
left foot and leg hurt considerably. A
horse belonging to Harry Russell, of
Ellenboro, took to kicking and ran with
the driver and Miss Ida Clemens. Rus
sell steered the horse for the fence, and
he went right through, leaving the bug
gy and occupants inside the grounds.
No serious damage was done.

/ Miss Louisa Club went to Platteyilie
Thursday evening to attend the Scham-
bo-Keitler wedding, an account OF
which will appear in our next issue.
As long as the present officers of the
Grant County Agricultural Society
manage its fairs and its affairs, the So
ciety will be prosperous. All that is
necessary 20 bring large crowd is the
announcement of the dates and, good
weather.
Mr.. John Simison returned Saturday
night from a three-weeks' trip in the
northwest. He visited his brother who
is grazing flock of 5000 sheep in
Mauger County, Montana. John also

duced return rates on all the railroads.
Persons who propose to attend should
send their names to E. r. Sidell, Bara-
boo, on or before the 10th of October,

The impression seems to be pretty
general that there is considerable game
in the vicinity of the court house to be
bagged this fall. A pheasant was found
in one of the trees in the square Friday
morning, and was shot by Walt. Bel
lows. But the bellows of that windy
Democratic candidate for county treas
urer, though blowing strong all that
day, did not. so far as heard from, ruff
file a feather.
VIM. j. Dyer was not at our fair as
usual. He was away campaigning with
Mambrino Swigert and Dave johnson
Betsey Ann. He has been handling
the mare since her driver was injured
at Mineral Point. At Monroe Swig
took second money in the stallion race,
Herod (2:243) taking first. Swigert
took one heat in 81. AT GAINESVILLE he
took first money in the 2:30 class and
lowered his record to that time in the
third heat, which was actually trotted
in 2:28. In the fourth heat he went to
the first quarter in 50, half in 1:13 and
logged home in 2:34. At Shullsburg
he won the stallion race and took Sec
ond money in the free-for-all. Dyer
goes to Boscobel this morning for the
fair there this week and will 90 to

CARELESS DR1NING Last Monday
morning Will Shuttleworth, young
man of Mt. Ida, about IS years old,
hired out to j. w. lockwood, a farmer
residing in the northwestern part of
town. The next day in driving one of
Mr. Tuckwood's horses he ran into

Wednesday he was sent TO take bor-
rowed horse home and rode Mr.. Tuck
woods other horse valuable animal
for which he recently paid 1925. After
delivering the neighbours horse, on re-
turning home he ran through a wire
fence the second ttRae, cutting three of
the horses legs terribly. Both horses
are now in Mr.. TEckwood's barn, Grip
pied and MANNED, and he has not been
able to get either efT them out of the
barn since, and t2ere is hardly posi-
bility of their ever being worth a copper
again.

Too WET.-Louis Fierce's Octagon
Comedy Co. advertised to give our
Band boys benefit last Saturday night,
but dreary storm prevailed during
the evening and prevented turnout
on the part of the people, SO the troupe
did not play. The company went from

for this week. Mr.. Fierce, the gentle
manly proprietor is fine actor and
mis- amiable wife pleasing actress.

every bill. We hope the citizens of
Boscobel will patronizo them literally.
