Fourth of July and Fair.

There was a good attendance at
the Fair Directors meeting last
Saturday, and very satisfactory prog
ress was shown to be making. The
committee on Celebration and Field
Day, July 5th, reported everythi""
encouraging for the greatest gather
ing on that day ever known in South
west Wisconsin, and arrangements
being perfected to make it an occa-
sion To be remembered as the event
in the lives of all who attend.
For the fair, the committee on
premium list reported, suggesting
several changes which it is believed
will be satisfactory to exhibitors and
insure better exhibits. A list of races,
substantially the same as that of last
year, was submitted by the sporting
committee and approved by the
board. Enquiries already received
give assurance that the best field of
horses ever gathered in Iowa county
will compete for the purses to be
offered. At no corresponding date
in the history of the association has
the prospect of "A successful season
been better than now, as appeared by
information presented to the Board.
Several subscribers to the capital
stock have not yet paid the first in
stalment due, which impedes settle

to call on the treasurer and make
payment.

Head of Indian Bureau.

Hon. VIM A. JONES retired on
! Thursday last from the position of
! member of the Wisconsin assembly,
which he has occupied with rare
credit to himself, honor to his inn
mediate constituents and profit to
the state. Friday noon he returned
to his home in this city, Saturday
morning departed for Washington,
and there on Tuesday took up the
important public trust of Commits
siOner of Indian Affairs of the Unit
ed States. The preferment came to
him wholly unsought and unexpec-
ted and when it was rendered to him
he hesitated to say he would accept
it, and did not do so until after con-
sultation with friends and careful
of the position. Having less doubts
than he had himself of his qualificl-
tions for the duties of the office,
his closest friends advised him to ac-
cept, and more from respect for their
judgment than from any inclination
he had for the place or life in Wash
ington, he assumes the trust. In this
community, where Mr.. Jones career
is known from his early youth, there
is perfect confidence that he will ac-
quit himself well, and render valu-
able service to the country. He has
been tried in many capacities, and
never failed to more than meet eX-
pectations. Literally educated, of
large andvaried business experience,
and with purpose ito do the right"
in every case, he will be found equal
to the task he assumes. In advance
it is safe to predict that under his
administration the Indian Bureau
will not be the easy prey of boodlers
and corruptionists that it is thought
sometimes TO have been.
While his lifetime neighbors in
Iowa county will miss him from
their business and social circles, they
rejoice to see him take such promi-
nence in governmental affairs ,antici-
pating the time when he shall lay off
the official toga and they may well
come him home with the acclaim,
"well done, good and faithful SER
want Mrs. Jones and the children
will continue to occupy the family
home here in the summer, at least,
from the Commissioner of Indian
A fairs.

MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY. APRIL %, 1897

THE Beloit Free Press notices a
mechanical triumph by Mr.. j, II.
Saris, formerly of this city, and
whose parents, brothers and sisters
still reside here. The machine con-
sists of tiny bicycle built for Mr.
Saris' little son, less than four years
old. The Free Press says: at is a
perfect bike in every particular,with
ball bearings and every up-to-date
appliance, all neatly proportioned.
Master Ralph has commenced to
practice riding, and will soon be in
the push The bicycle is one of the
smallest servicable wheels ever seen.
There were few, if any so small and
cute shown at the Chicago Cycle ex-
hibit.n
INQUIRIES as to whether it is sure
that LaFollette will be here to give
an address on July 5th show how
pleasing the expectation is to the
people of Southwest Wisconsin, and
indicate that his coming will draw
an immense audience To see and hear
him. We have the positive assur-
ance that Mr.. LaFollette will be here
unless prevented by sickness or
other "unsurmountabl obstacle
1t is unnecessary to say that he will
give us an address worthy of the oc-
casion, as the people know he never
fails to do that.

Mineral Point Boy Drowned.

A dispatch received here Monday
morning bore the sad news that
Fred jenkins bad been drowned in u
stream near Falls City, Nebraska.
Deceased was the youngest son of
Mrs. John Jenkins, nephew Of Mr..
samuel jenkins, and a brother Of
Mrs. Chas NJ. Cox, of this city. All
Of his boyhood was spent in Mineral
Point, and he graduated from the
high school here in 1883. A young
man of excellent character and ex-
emplary habits, good ability, indus
try and energy, there was everything
to make him a favorite among ac-
quaintances, and give promise of an
honorable and useful career. The
young people Of this community viii
be especiallyigreived to learn Of his
untimely death, and the widowed
mother, to whom he was a staff and
comfort. has the sympathy Of many
old neighbors and friends in the
great loss she sustains.

not depart, was our sweet singer, l..

glad to hear Of his former teachers
good fortune and lived over again
his school days in a reminiscent
mood. Several "lickings' he received
from the Commissioners Of Indian

Welded al Waldwick.

On Wednesday, April 2lst, was one
of the most joyous and promising
weddings ever celebrated in this Sec
| ton. The contracting parties were
Mr. VIM. Tomlin and Miss Lena
| league. Rev. John Harris, of Fay
cite, officiating, at the home of the
brides father, Mr.. Alfred league, in
the village of Waldwick, with a
large company of relatives and
friends of the bride and groom as
witnesses.
Immediately following the cere-
mony boupteous wedding dinner
was served, and the company united
in an evening of social enjoyment.
About forty unlimited guests came
to offer congratulations, and were
made heartily welcome, receiving
the same recognition as those who
had served in the vineyard from
early in the day.
The young people are both long
time residents of Waldwick and very
popular in the community, and there
| is sure foundation for the hopes en-
| tertained that their welded life will
be happy and prosperous. They Will
continue to reside in the village,
where the groom is established in
mercantile business. Congratula-
tions We're accompanied by many
nice bridal presents, giving empha-
sis to the general wishes that the
| new household may be favored with
the rarest of earth's blessings.
THE entertainment for the benefit
| Of the High School Athletic Associ-
| alton. last Saturday evening, was
well patronized, netting about $50
| for the association, which will ma
! terally aid in procuring athletic
equipments for the boys, and paying
their expenses at the meet in Dodge
vile next month. The performance
was all that could reasonably be eX-
pected from the youth of the per-
| formers and the limited time devot-
ed to preparation. 1t was the first
appearance for most of them before
an audience in any capacity. A few
years hence some of these youngsters
give promise of becoming orators,
actors and musicians to draw APP
from the most critical audi
enCes.

direct to ports In China other than
Hongkong is comparatively small, the
largest yearly export to these ports
ever recorded, that for 1895, being re-
turned at only 1924 barrels. There
has been large increase since 1887,
however, the shipments during that
year amounting to only 7,7l4 barrels.
Although our exports Of -four to
Japan are considerably smaller than
those to HonRkong and China, they
show an increase during the last few
years that is proportionately even
greater, having advanced from 30,377
barrels in the fiscal year 1887 to lO3,
582 barrels in the fiscal year 1896. The
growth in this export trade, which was
particularly rapid during the last two
or three years, continues to an even
greater degree in the present fiscal
year, our exports to Japan during the
six months ended December 81 reach
ing no less a figure than l5l ,S49 bar
rels, or more than was ever before
exported in an entire year. According
to the returns for the nine months
ended March 81, placing the shipments
for that period at III ,434 barrels, it
may be estimated that the total ex-
ports of wheat flour from this country
to Japan during the year ending June
30, 1897, will amount to about 100000
barrels.
These Oriental countries are we'll
worth the attention of the American
wheat grower, especially now that
Russia, Argentina and other great
wheat.producing countries are compet-
ing with us so strongly for the Euro
pean market. 1t may be that in the
future eastern Asia will afford field
enough for the disposal of our surplus
wheat to offset all possible losses in the
markets of Europe.
