Among the freaks of the recent cy-

The Southwestern Wisconsin Indus
trial Association will hold their fair at
Mineral Point, Sept. ?. 5. and 5th.
The management are making special
efforts to make this one of the most at
tractive fairs this fall New features
viii be introduced and everything done
for the comfort and amusement of pa
irons.
New houses are on the builders pro-
gram this fall for Harry BROKER, Mrs.
BlalsdelI. and JAS. Wenzel. Harry
Brooker has purchased portion of S.
H. Taylor's property and begun the
foundation; Mrs. Blaisdell will build on
her property east of the NJ. E. church;
and Jas. Wenzel has purchased piece
of Chas. Orton's property near the depot
with the view of erecting residence
thereon.
As Arson Linn and daughter of Mt.
Hope. were coming into town Thursday
morning, their team became frightened
at the freight train which was switching
in the yards, and became unmanage-
able, running down an embankment at
the road side, and overturning the
buggy. The buggy was badly smashed
and good many bruises were sustained
by the occupants. The injuries received
were not, however, serious.
Lancaster's small man, Sam'l Draper
came near meeting with a serious acci-
dent at the Fair Grounds, Thursday af-
ternoon. He was sitting in buggy, and
the band beginning to play frightened
the horse, which gave sudden start.
Sammy attempted to jump out, catch
ing his foot in the spring which held hin,
fast for minute. The buggy wheel ran
over his high silk hat crushing it, but
further than that no damage was done.
At the Standard Theatre last evening
the Royce & Lansing Musical Comedy
Company began three nights engage
ment presenting their play of musical
numbers and bright sketches. A very
pleasing entertainment was given and
the efforts of Ray L. Royce and the
other members of the company were
warmly greeted. During the evening
Charles Horwitz, member of the com.
pany and an old Milwaukee boy, was
presented with diamond studded
medal by his Milwaukee friends. The

Lancaster's growth in the past ten
years is not one to be ashamed of, even
if little more enterprise might have
doubled it. The census of 1880 was
1.069, while that of this year, foots up
1,542, a gain of AS. One drawback
our city had to contend with was the
lack of houses, That want has been
largely relieved the past eighteen
months and under all probability her
population dur 'g the next year or two
will closely crowd two thousand. Es-
pecially will this be so if the Burlington
can be induced to make this the termin-
al of their Bloomington branch.

The Work Required of the Telegra pliers
Who Get Foreign News.
There is something extremely weird about
the lives of the men who work in the tele-
graph cable offices on the Eastern coast.
they are the most successful of all tele-
graphers, for even the slightest errors In
Transmission would cause great trouble.
Nearly all of the cable dispatches are in
cipher and as the operators cannot possibly
understand the nature of the messages that
pass through their hands, they must work in
the dark, as IL were. The cipher code is TO
them equivalent to an unknown language it
has no sense or meaning to guide the opera
tor Alright, and every letter, as it is formed
by the instrument, must be transcribed upon
paper with mechanical eXactneSs. The
words are disconnected jargOn, and the
memory cannot be trusted to the extent of
even single word.
Ordinarily operators receiving commercial
or press dispatches copy the commercial
characters and words some distance behind
the transmltter, the sense of the dispatch
being the grade to correctness in TRANSCRIPT
ing. There are telegraphers who in recsiv-
ing press news copy from four to twenty
words behind the sender. This is impossible
with those who handle the cable messages.
Every letter must 90 on paper the instant it
is formed by the armature. To do this re-
quireS a directness of attention. concentra-
ton of thought that is scarcely less than
painful. As a rule cables laid at out-of-the-
way places and those employed on the work

the ocean must spend their lives in what
amounts almost to Seclusion.-N. Y. Tribune.

1t is Not True That He Works in Dress
Suit and by Wax Tapers.
Alexander Dumas fills is the most interest
ing of contemporary Frenchmen of letters; he
is so brilliant paradox in himself and in his
environment He inherited his brains from
his father, yet he is his fathers opposite. The
great. large-hearted giant, bourgeois some
times, and even Philistine yet never indel-
icate or immoral. full of humor, but
with inventions, with plots, incl
together pell nell with little art or method
who enjoyed life with sort of grandios Sc
grossness, who was as healthy and hearty
contrast to Dumas fills. the literary exquisite,
table lighted by wax tapers, who has a bril-
liant aud cutting wit but no humor, who
breaches morality in terms that might often
make vice blush, whose plots are put to-
gether with nice mathematical precision,
with tireless art, and whose inventive re-
sources are extremely limited.
We have repeated the old fable about the
dress suit and the wax tapers rather as
metaphor than as fact. 1t has indeed
been asserted as fact But at present
Dumas has discarded this affectation if he
ever assumed 1t. He appears in his studio
in what looks like compromise between
bathing robe and suit of overalls. He is
surrounded by elegancies, for he loves the
little things that make life great, the lux
uries that are more indispensable than the
cesSities.-Philadelpha Press.
