Miss Lynn's Recital.

The following encouraging press
notice concerning a former Grand
Rapids sweet singer was taken from the
Boston Herald of June IS. The Herald
says:
"Miss Charlotte Lynn's song recital
in Association Hall on Tuesday evening
attracted an excellent audience. The
young lady came to Boston last fall from
Chicago, where for some time she was
soprano soloist at the Pilgrim Congre
gational Church. She has a high
soprano voice Of much brilliancY and
power, and her selections were made
with the view of displaying its best
powers. Beginning with ELSA S
Dream" from, "Lohengrin, u she gave a
group of songs, consisting of Margaret
at the Spinning Wheel" by Schubert;
My Heart" and "GlorY to God" by
Rotoh, and "Spring," bv Guonod.
But Miss Lynn's most ambitious effort
was rendering "Ah, fOrse lui," from
"La Traviata," of which she rendered
the ford vocalizatjon smoothly and
fiexibly, taking the high D with perfect
ease. Miss Lynn was assisted by Mr..
W. D. Strong, who gave "Nalse
Caprice" by Raft, and The Cascade, -
by Bendel, and by Mr.. Clifford Sprunt,
who met with much success in his play
ing Of NieuXtemps' ''Tarantelle" for
violin, and a Romance" by Mrs.
Beach. Sig. RotoIi played Miss Lynn's
accompaniment in his usual artistic
manner -

converse, taking their leave with wishes
that the life of the young couple might

THE STATE BICYCLE MEET.
All the Star Riders to Compete at
Appleton for Gold and Diamonds.

The Wisconsin state bicycle meet and
National circuit races to be given at
Appleton, July and 9, promise to be
the greatest event in bicycle racing
ever seen IN the state. Ten races are
to be run each day, four for profess
SIGNALS and rix for amateurs, including
the state championships. The prize list
for the two days aggregates nearly
50, 800, and is the most liberal ever
offered for any similar event in the
state The prizes are in every case up
to the limit allowed by the rules Of the
L. A. w, namely, 500 for professionals
and $50 for amateurs, and consist
mostly of gold coin and diamonds, from
which circumstance the meet has been
christened "the Gold Coin and Diamond
Meet" The prizes in the state
championships are as usual beautiful
gold medals provided by the League.
\ feature that will be introduced at
this meet for the first time in Wisconsin
is the giving of ''lap-prizes' that is,
extra prizes for the first man across
the tape in each lap of the races Of
over half mile. By this means every
lap is a race, and there are as many
finishes as there are laps in the main
race. This insures hot races and fast
time in all events where such prizes are
offered.
Besides the races each day there will
be exhibitions Of trick and fancy riding
by Lee Richardson, the greatest Of all
trick bicycle riders in America, who
will be seen on the track during the
new and difficult feats, as we'll as in an
attempt to break his own worlds re-
cord riding backward. The races are to
be held at the track of the Fox River
Fair and Driving association, which is
one of the fastest half-mile tracks in
the west and affords accommodations
for thousands Of spectators. The track
is conveniently located and is reached
from the center of the city by BUSES,
cars and the first and finest bicycle
path ever built in the state.
Ample arrangements have been
made for the accommodation of larger
crowd Of visitors than ever before
attended Wisconsin state meet, and
special reduced rates will be given on
all railroads. Appleton is hot-bed of
bicycle enthusiasm, and the state meet
seems destined to justify the promise Of
its promoters that it will be "the biggest
thing that ever happened"

Condition of Trade.

There are continued signs that gain
IN business has begun. Stocks have
gone higher than they were before the
artificial break ten days ago, wheat and
cotton are in better demand, there is
more confidence in monetary circles,
and the tendancy toward shrinkage in
great industries seemsin some measure,
at least, to be checked While the
outcome of the Democratic convention
is uncertain, and the great crops are
not yet wholly beyond danger, a sure
and strong Improvement could hardly
be expected, but the tone in business
circles has grown distinctly more hope
full. Clearing house exchanges for the
past week are 3.4 per cent. less than
last years, and only 81 per cent less
than in 1898. June failures have been
neither as numerous nor as large as last
year or in 1894.

The Burberry Business.

Black River Falls Banner: Blue
berries have the business sway here al
present. The buyers tell us that the
first two weeks recei pts Of the season
have proved bigger than the same
period in any previous season. Some
think that this season is going to sur
pass the famous big one of 1898, but
there are many sincere doubts on this
score. On the bluffs the berries are
said to be better than ever before, but
on the flats in the section east of the
river they are not up to the highest
standard and these flats are what pro-
Ionged the season and took 1t into
September in 1898. The daily ship
ments have been increasing from day
to day, and yesterdays shipment
reached 1872 cases, besides upwards OF
$50 cases being held back until today
The prices started in at Is cents pei
quart, but has been going down until
they have today dropped to cents
Yesterdays price started in at 10 cents
and closed at s. To give the best
possible accommodations to the business
express shipments are being made OF
the night and day trains-two trains {
day south and three north.

Walked Eight Miles.

Miss Ethel Ollie and Miss Pearl
Starks, of Stevens Point, started for
Grand Rapids Saturday evening upon
their wheels. When within eight miles
of this city they meet with an accident
in when the tire Of their wheels were
punctured and they were obliged to
walk to this city. They reached the
Lyon House, Centralia, at about 1920
o'clock p. M, where they spent the
Sabbath as guests of Miss Mollie
Williams. On their arrival here they
were foot-sore and exhausted, and were
not in love with counting ties on the
Green Bay railroad track. Moral
Young ladies never leave home on a
bicycle trip without the company of
young men.

A Generous Deed.

Following in the footsteps of Senator
j. H. Stout, of Minnesota, Mr.. J. D.
Witter, Of Grand Rapids, has deter
mined to donate free travelling library
to Wood County. The city of Grand
Rapids already has fine public library
donated by the late Hon. Thos B. Scott,
and Mr.. Witter now purposes to donate
sum large enough to purchase a
stock of books which can be divided up
into a number of small libraries, and
which can be shipped from place to
place following one another, and
remaining long enough to give the
community an opportunity to read all
the books.
Mr.. Witter thus becomes one of the
men who are entitled to be considered
public benefactors. Ashland, Merrill,
Grand Rapids, Menominee, and many
other Wisconsin cities have been
supplied with public libraries by the
generosity of citizens who could afford
to be generous, and if the travelling
library plan should increase in popu-
larity, many counties will also receive
donations like the one now rendered to
Wood county.
Mr.. J. D. Witter, the gentleman who
offers this donation, is a brother of w.
G. Witter, of Wausau.-Record.
Milwaukee Telegraph: Add to list
of generous souls whose deeds for the
benefit of the people are splendid, the
name of the Banker J. D. Witter, of

originator of the move, SO far as Wis
consin is concerned, is Senator J. H.
Stout, Of Menomonie.

Baseball at BabcoCk

The towns of DextervilIe and BabCock
are great rivals on the ball field and
Sunday last one of their good natured
clashes occurred, in which baskerville
was worsted by two points. It is re-
ported to have been very hot game
and was played at Babcock. The
batteries were Kennedy and Niles
for Babcock, and Miller and Robinson
for Baskerville. The latter team held
the lead until the ninth inning when
Babcock came to bat and by clever work
made eight runs and won the contest.
Score at close, Is to IS, in favor of Bah
cock.

A BIG FISH

4 sturgeon weighing IS lbs. and
measuring five feet long was caught at
Biron Monday afternoon. The slash
boards were put up on the dam

Prompt Paymen

The old reliable Federal Life
Association, of Davenport, Iowa,
in this state by our towns
man c. J. Carman has drawn another
credit mark for the prompt payment of
its death losses. Hans Berg of Cen
traIia, held life policy in this company
for $1,000. He was killed by lightning
two weeks ago, proof of his death left
this city for the home office last
Monday and one week from that date
Mrs. Hans Berg had her check from
the company in payment thereof.
This makes SIS, 900 that the Federal
Life Association has paid in death
losses in the Twin Cities in the past
ten years. Probably no other company
doing business In these cities have any
better record than this company.
