A LARGE SHEEP RANCH.
Montana Syndicate Finally De-
cides to Make Wisconsin
It8 HeaGouarterS.

Trempealeau, Wis, Aug. 14.-Jacob
Sieben of Cascade. Mont, has been here
all the week, and the deal has been closed
for the purchase and leasing of bottom
lands below the city, for the great sheep
ranch. Mr.. Sieben would have closed
the deal before this, but was unable to
come to an understanding with Mr..
Marsh for the purchase of his lands, Mr..
Marsh refusing the offer of $4,000 made
him by the Montana sheep syndicate,
which Mr.. Sieben represents. The mat
ter has now been compromised by the
leasing of the lands in question.
Work will at once be commenced IN
erecting buildings and putting the ranch
in first-class condition. and next week
5000 sheep will be brought here as the
first to occupy the new ranch. The
ranch will be great benefit to Trem-
pealeau, furnishing a big market for
produce and feed, and it will require
a large force of men to handle the thou
sands of sheep that will be brought here
from Montana. 1t is thought that but
little time will elapse before $4,000 sheep
will be seen in Trempealeau' ranch.

There was aLother jail delivery this

two men had escaped.
1t is supposed that the prisoners made

trace of them.

USES OF BANANAS.
The Cultivation of the Favorite Fruit
Still in Its Infancy.

1t is hardly necessary to state that
well-matured bananas that have not be-
gun to decay are very wholesome and
nutritious food. No more than that the
biggest apples or pears are always the
best, are the biggest bananas the finest
favored; on the contrary, the larger they
are the more mealy they taste. The cul-
tivatiOn of bananas, although 1T has IL
the last ten years assumed gigantic pro-
portions, may still be said to be in its in
fancy. Almost every part of the plant
can be used for some useful purpose:
the stalks form an excellent material for
the manufacture of paper, or the fiber
might be extracted; the peel of the fruit
will make excellent indelible ink; the
green fruit dried can be converted into
wholesome flour. The fruit, when ripe,
consists of "A per cent. of water; of the
remaining 70 parts. 20 are sugar and ?
gluten or fiesh-fOrming food. Hence, like
rice, though exceedingly nutritious, it re-
quires the addition of some more nitro
gen0us material. Green bananas. boiled
tender, if given to the hens, will make
them lay more eggs than any other food.
Dried bananas, or banana figs, as they
are called, are now III the market. and
will undoubtedly soon be a great article
of trade as soon as found by the school
boy. They are sweet, wholesome and
n0uriShing-TTIe Sanitaran.

Morrison, came near escaping the neces-

an attempt to escape from the jail yester-
day. He had planned to set the building
on fire III the hope that during the excite

baffied ana came near being a victim of
the flames.
He had been allowed the use of tobac-
co and Il pipe and during the morning he
made threats of setting the Jail on fire.
He is confined in steel cell and little at
tention was paid to him. Later in the
day, however, smoke was seen issuing
from the cell in which Bons is confined
and an alarm was at once turned in. 1t
was some time before the firemen could
get a stream into the corridor of the Jail

been saffocated, but when the water was
forced into the place Bons called out that
he was all right He was none the
worse for the experience, except that he
received a washing.
The sheriff has decided that hereafter

RED HAIR IN HISTORY.

Unhappy Mary's.

WAUKESHA'S PROGRAMME.
Preparations Under Way for the
Holding Of the Annual
County Fair.

Waukesha, Wis, Aug. 13.-TSpecial.1
Great preparations are being made for
the annual county fair which will open
one week from Tuesday and last until
the following Friday night. 1t is thought
that the coming fair will be the most
brilliant in the history of the associa-
TONS gatherings in the fall, and as it is
to be given early, the visitors who are
spending the season here will probably
have a chance to see a real old time
county fair, with the striking machines.
cane racks, doll babies, and in fact
everything that pleases the rural mem
bers or gladdens the hearts of the young
ruStlcs and their maidens. Secretary
Harland has been hard at work for the
past two months getting things into
shape for the coming event, and has
managed to secure some excellent attrac-
lions. A programme of very enjoyable
events lasting through the entire four
days has been prepared, and there will
be hardly any preference to the days as
far as entertainment goes
For the week, the programme at pres
ent contains the following events: On
Wednesday there will be farmers in
stitute with object lessons and the horse,
COW, sheep, and horticulture will be dis
cussed by the leading Wisconsin workers
IN these lines. On Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday forenoons there will be
baseball games between mines of good
standing, the local Park hotel team, to
take prominent part.
A new feature in tuG-of-War will be in
troduced in the forenoon programme of
those days. The teams that have been
secured for the display of strength in that
line, are one from Waterford, one from
Caldwell, an aggregation from Duplain-
vile and the giants from the Waukesha
6re department. 1t is understood that the
department team has won all the contests
already.
Thursday and Friday afternoons there
will be field day exercises under the direc-
ton and by members of the local Y. NJ.
t. A. athletic team, except on Thursday,
when q professional competition will be
held, open to all the athletes in the coun-
ty, who wish to enter. Entries may be
made up to the preceding Wednesday.
The programme of races will be ar
ranged so to equalize the important and
less important features of the fair, and
the events as have been arranged are as
follows, though the particular time has
not yet been set: $50 trot, $500; 2:35
trot, 5000; 2:26 trot, $3.50; free-foran
trot, $3.50: 2:50 pace, 5000; 2:36 pace,

that ex-CongresSman Robert La Toilette
