1t is a Thriving Feature OF GAINESVILLE
Business Life.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, July Gainesville
has new industry that is providing
hundreds Of men, women and children
with employment. it is the collection
Of clam shells from the bed of Rock
river. A few days ago q representative
Of a New \ OK firm that manufactures
pearl buttons, came to this city and.
learning that the river contained many
clam smells, he appointed a receiving
ascent with instructions to secure 400
tons if possible, ard if that amount
could be obtained a factory would be
started here. Two young men started
few days ago to rake the river for

So Ids OF pounds of shells are being
fished up daily. Between this city and
Alton, a point five miles down the
river, there are at least fifty camps OF
fishing parties. They have their cooks
and tents and live near their work.
The CLAIMS are put into boats, then
taken to shore and placed in a kettle
of boiling water, which causes them to
open. he meat is scraped out and the
shells assorted. Only the white ones
are marketable. They are then
placed in racks and hauled to the
warehouse, where they are sampled
and the weight taken. The hunters

About 100 tons have been secured.
There are millions of them in the
river and the supply will not diminish
for a long time.
Large quantities of shells have been
brought from Brodhead, Albany and
Shirland, ILL., The clam beds are
practically inexhaustible and it will
be no trouble to secure 400 tons. The
health officer has served notice on 4.

must remove bis warehouse, located On

New York, July 6.-Independence

sent letters Of regret we're David b.

WATCHED THE RACES.
Big Event at Hartford, Conn, Draws
Large Crowd.

Hartford, July 6.-The largest crowd
that ever assembled at Charter CaK
park and the largest attendance at any
light harness racing eIt mt in New Eng
land was present Monday at the re
opening OF this famous track. Esti-
mates placed the attendance at 5000
to 10000. The chief feature of the
card was the free-for-all. 1t was
hoped that the two-mirute mark wOul1
be reached, but Gentry AGs killed in
his effort to lower the high sulky mile
record, and it was plainly evident that
instead of pushing McClay held back
Star Pointer in both heats, as Gentry
colld not force him and Frank Agen

MAYBURY TO LEAVE.
University's Wonderful Splinter to
Finish at Minnesota.

James H. Maybury, the fastest anna
teur Splinter in the west and possibly
in the country, and whose wonderful
feats have contributed so much to Wis
cOnsin's easy supremacy among west
ern colleges in track athletics, an
nouncos his intention of completing his
law studies at the University of Min
nesOta. Mr.. Maybury entered the Uni
versity of Wisconsin as a junior three
years ago, am was graduated with the
class of go, after which he studied law
for year. Mr.. Maybury's decision in
regard to change in his place of study
is undoubtedly to a large extent due to
a failure of recognition of his abilities
on the part of the athletic association
of Wisconsin. 1t was the opinion Of
a large body of the students that the
track team, instead of the crew, should
have been sent east last spring, and tn.
cardinals overwhelming victory at thu
Chicago rect showed what its speedy
champions might have accomplished
had they also gone. Maybury's de-
parture will be a distinct loss to the
university, and not alone from the
standpoint of athletics, as he is a very
free and open-hearted young man
whom all are pleased to call friend.
