trot for two-year-olds there were
seven starters, five being Swigerts.
A product of the famous Nutwood
won this race, but in each heat his
lead at the start was twice as great
as at the finish, over Swigert colt
named Senator.
WE announce the Alba Haywood
company at the City Hall next Tues
day evening, Sept. 9th. Mr.. Hey
woods company will be remembered
as the one that opened the lecture
course last season and gave the best
satisfaction of any company in the
course. He returns this season with
much larger company and fine
band and orchestra. Entire new
programme of character songs, solos
and duets. scots secures seat.
The Grand Rapids, Mich, Iele-
graph says: We have been favor
ed for the past two nights with a
grand entertainment by the Alba
Haywood concert company. They
furnish refined programme of cos
tuned impersonations, character
songs, solos, duets, and fine orches-
tral selections. They played to
good houses, and we bespeak for
them good business wherever they
may 60. They are deserving of
liberal patronage.
SUITS FOR PEARLs.-That there
are pearls of some value being
found in the raging Pecatonica is
proved by the fact that suits on ac-
count of the same are in the courts.
One of our law firms is retained in
suit in which Thomas Bracken,
of Willow Springs, and John
Meehan, of Darlington, are con-
testants. 1t is said that Bracken
left with Meehan pearl to be sold,
which Meehan lost, and Bracken
now sues Meehan for the value
thereof. Some hundreds of dollars
"more or less"
THURSDAY night of the county
fair two gamblers, strangers to
Dodgeville, got into wrangle in
one of the saloons of that place and
stepped outside to settle matters in
what to them was chivalrous style.
One fellow was quickly disposed of,
receiving an ugly stab in the short
ribs of the right side, and cutting
into the intestines. Last reports are
to the effect that the fellows case is
critical. Here is sign board
which says "turn back" to all young
men who have any desire to gamble.
LENA, ILL.,, has had private recount
of her population which increases the
census count about 200. There are
those who strongly believe that
recount in Mineral Point would
have like effect, and they are will
ing to contribute money for the
purpose. This city polled over six
hundred votes at the last presiden-
tial election, and the school census
shows up over eight hundred be-
tween the ages of four and twenty
one. According to these figures
ard the customary calcu ulation of
five inhabitants for every voter our
population ought to be fully 5000.
FROM the Alpena, Mich, Journal,
Aug. 3Oth: The Haywood company
is without exception the best that
has appeared in Alpena this season.
Every member is musician. Their
orchestra work is something we
don't hear every day, and their solos
are all good. Alba Haywood, the
impersonator, is without any excep-
tion the best we have ever seen.
His impersonations alone are worth
the price of admission, and his work
in "Searching for the Slain" in last
nights programme VAS the funniest
piece of stage work ever seen in
this city. He reaches from the sub
lime to the ridiculous.
