bitcd at the fair an Australian bas.
ket sun flower Of his own cultivation
which attracted the attention of
nearly every one. 1t is rightly
named being as large around at the
top as an ordinary bushel basket.
As the drilling progres.e. to test
the water supply for the pulp mills
the outlook is favorable to the ex.
tent of the most sanguine. II
water can be secured in abundance
now when springs and wells are at
their lowest ebb, there need be no
fear of its ever failing.

IT is not likely that the thrifty
housewife who finds that the re-
markable opportunity to get cheap
fruit, which she now enjoys, is ac-
companied with the privilege of
getting cheap sugar, Will complain
greatly about the workings of the
new tariff law.
WITH the first days of cool
weather many people are reminded
that they had the grip last winter or
the winter before. The effects of
that strange disease are wonderfully
lasting and appear with the first
slight cold or any ailment incident
to the change of temperature. A
very persistent thing is the grip.
TnE exhibit of standard bred
horses, mares aud colts made by
Mr.. A. w. Cobb at the fair,
eaptivated every one who was for.
tunate to gaze thereon. Every
breed of horses, unless it be the
thoroughbred runner, is as well to
the front in Mineral Point now AZ
any where in the United States.
This can also be said Of all kinds of
stock including fowls.
EVERY night this week Choate's
Dramatic company has held forth
at the City Hall. No troupe ever
visited Mineral Point and gave
better and more satisfactory enter
tainments. Matte Choate is Justly
entitled to the designation of a star;
she captivates the audience upon
every appearance. Aside from their
ability on the stage they are gentle
men and ladies of the first order
SOME business men (but we are
glad to say that in our experience
they are few) raise the objection
that everything is now sold at so
low a margin of profit that they
cannot afford to advertise. This is
just why they should advertise.
Where is the advantage of select
ing particularly cheap goods or hav-
ing especially great bargains if the
people are not made aware of them?
THAT the runaway down High
street on Thursday morning, when
there were so many teams and
pedestrians on the street, did not
cause any serious results, is strange
indeed. The horses turned north
on Chestnut street, dumping two
little boys out on the corner, but
the rig did not tip over and the
animals we're soon stopped. The
boys were scratched some, but
more scared than hurt. II was a
farm team and in the vehicle were a
woman, little girl aud the tw o
boys. The traces coming unhitched d
was the cause
AN amusing conversation was
overheard on the fair grounds
Thursday. Two farmers Of opposite
political faith we're commenting on
the great crowd, fine exhibits, etc,
when one concluded that the pres
ence Of GOV. Peck was the cause Of
all these good things; and the
otL fellow thinks he got even by
claiming that ex-Gov. Ra-k, who il
