Madison Matters.

From Our Regular Correspondent
Considering the fact that the Stale
Fair will not be held at Madison this
year, a movement has been set on foot
by several leading MadisonianS to get
the Interstate Fair located here. 1t is
necessary to raise $1,000 for that pur-
pose, and many citizens have already
expressed their desire to raise the sum.
MIR. 5. l.. Sheldon, Madison's famous
machinery man, has taken hold of the
matter in earnest, and the outlook for
success Is favorable.
The Monona Lakeside Association
are making preparations for an excel
lent program at their encampment this
summer. &. A. r. day will be a new
feature this year.
The University boys are organizing a
boating company for the purpose of
getting a boat house and set of boats
so that the excellent advantages of
Lake Mendoza will no longer be wasted.
1t is the desire of the students to i'm
prove in rowing as an athletic sport,
and bring our University in thi. respect
up to the standard of Eastern colleges.
With all the advantages offered by
our lakes. boating has been very much
sighted TO give opportunity for base
ball and other games. The first game
OF the Northwestern college baseball
league. composed of the Northwestern
University, Racine and Boloit Colleges
and the University of Wisconsin will be
played Saturday. May s, at Beloit, be-
tween the University and Beloit mines.
Politics are running in undercurrents
just now, talk about the state ticket
being the most important topic which
comes up.
The Sixth Battery boys will hold their
reunion aud encampment at Lone
Rock, June 22-24. A lively time may
be looked for. as the boys are energetic
in their antioipations.
Work at Science Hall is pushing
along rapidly and the number of work
men is being increased as rapidly as
possible.

Jay Geuld's Little Plan.

An interesting little railroad episode
is shortly expected in Wall Street. Jay
Gould, who has of late been shielding
himself behind Vice. President Hoxie, of
the Missouri Pacific and his son, George
Gould, and caused it to be reported that
he is anxious to retire from active rail-
road business as well as from Wall
Street speculation, is probably as deep
in the mischief as he ever was before.
The Philadelphia Reorganization Com
mittee of Texas & Pacific appear really
to represent but one interest out of the
five involved, and is absolutely con-
trolled by Gould THIS interest is that
of the Eastern Division of the road
alone, the other four being the Rio
Grande Division, the New Orleans &
Pacific Division, the income bonds, and
the stock. Goud's plan, brought for
ward by the Philadelphia committee, is
to scale all the bonds in favor of the
Eastern Division, and to force the stock
holders to give up three shares of the
old stock for one share of the reorgan-
lied company. BY that means the pres
ent holders of both bonds and stock
would be most successfully frozen out.
Gould and his associates first bought
the Texas d Pacific from Tom Scott. 1t
consisted then of the Eastern Division
solely. Gould began at once TO build
the other branches through construction
companies organized and managed by
himself. Stocks and bonds were issued
on the branches to the greatest possible
extent, and, after having marketed these
securities and pocketed from them enor-
nous profits, Gould declared the
lines utterly valueless, and now tries to
squeeze out the securities for the issue
of which he and his associates are alone
responsible. The stock of the reorgan-
lied company. which will be secured if
this squeezing process is successful is
in all probability intended ultimately to
lind its way into the Missouri Pacific
treasury, which, of course. means Gould's
pocket. The road is the most import
ant feeder of the Missouri Pacific, in
which all the Southwestern interests of
Gould are concentrated. The security
holders, however, intend making n hard
fight for their rights, and they seem to
be likely to receive the assistance of
Mr.. Russell Sage. Old Sage has a
large interest both in the Missouri and
in the Texas and Pacific, but it does not
seems to fit his books to have one of his
tin boxes cleaned out with the distant
prospect of something being added to
the contents of another. The fight
promises to be lively one, and if The
average Wall Street broker does not
gain anything by it he will at least have
some fun.

The favorable and pleasant weather
of the last week has been fully improved
by the farmers, who are generally
through seeding, and are now preparing
their corn ground, of which there will
be larger area planted than usual.
Mr.. John Hendricks, of Montgomery
City, Mo-, is visiting his uncle, Elijah
Maiden, and will probably remain dur
ing the summer.
Frank Holloway, a former resident,
paid us short visit on Friday.
Sam Birmingham and Frank Burns
left for St. Paul last Saturday.
Some sneak thief entered the shop
OF John A. Jamison last Saturday night
and stole about SO worth of tools. Mr..
j. will give the value of the tools for
the detection of the thief.
The fine farmhouse of George r.
Blackburn came near becoming a prey
to the devouring element one day last
week. The fire originated in one of the
chimneys, and it was only an early dis
covcry Of the fire that enabled Mr.. b.
and some passers-by to save the house.
Hen fruit is about the only circulat-
ing medium with us at present, and of
that there is plenty. On April "a Mr..
Jas. Anderson received rising 600 doz-
ems, and on the first three days of last
week shipped over 1000 dozens, be-
sides which he kept wagon load that
he could not ship for lack of cases.
While hen-sets are therefore more plen-
tiful than desirable to the thrifty poultry
raiser just now, onion-scts are unattain-
able in this and adjoining towns.
Our saloons both closed on the first
of May, one proprietor going out of the
business entirely, and the other con-
sidering the license too high, and prob
ably desiring little rest anyway.
On Saturday night great clouds of
gloom and darkness hung over that
part of the east side of Main street
bounded by the two blacksmith shops.
and also over the spirits of those of us
who have been used to stimulate our
tagging energies there. On Sunday
morning Grape on the doorknobs and a
thin pine monument expressed how
deeply the mourners felt their great
loss. 1t is to be hoped that the perish
able pine is a fitting emblem of their
grief. 1t was suitably cheap, at least,
for cts hard times.
Mr.. A. Ishmael will Immediately com
mence thoroughly repairing his build

skating rink.
Persons from the Hub wishing to
visit Cassville. can now pass Mrouqh
our supremely quiet village with perfect
safety, and will be allowed to stop at
Ions pump and water their teams
only this and nothing more.
John W. Bracket gave us short
call on his way home from Madison last
Saturday.
In referring to the lumber firm of
Stevens d Co. last week, the printer

A son of Mr.. George Mapcs, II years
years old, living about three miles from
the village, was kicked by a horse last
Friday evening, resulting in compound
fracture of the right leg, and other bad
bruises. DIR. Hartford attended upon
him and thinks he will get along all
right if there are no internal injuries.

The County now ranks sixth in population
and twelfth in wealth. The principal products
are Corn, Oats, Cattle and Hogs, of the latter
immense quantities are shipped every year.

tages equal If not superior TO any County in the
State, and is destinedto grow in the future as in
the past
