NJ RS. ANNA MoFFETT, widow OF the
late DR.. J. b. Moffett, formerly OF
this city, but for some time past a
resident of Minneapolis, was married
a short time ago at Lacrosse to Mr..
J. O. Paddock, manager Of the La
Crosse Mutual Aid Association.
The bride and groom were lovers 30
years ago. The bride had been mar
ried twice and Mr.. Paddock was a
widower. He has five children and
she has family of two children and
five step children. The meeting OF
the couple was quite accidental, as
Mr.. Paddock had not known OF her
whereabouts until they saw each
other after more than thirty years.
The wedding was happily celebrated
and Mr.. Paddock will introduce his
bride to beautiful home.

Various Departments.

Races and Bah Games Each Day of the Fair
One of the Best Race Tracks in wiscon-
sin.
Extensive preparations are being
Fair to be held in Mineral Point on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, Aug. Il, Is, 10 and 20
The grounds are being put in fine
condition
The amphitheatre has been rebuilt
and will comfortably seat from 1000 to
1900 people. 1t is to be arranged with
raising doors, so that in case of rain
the entire front of the building can be
closed. In the new building the en-
trance will be from the southeast cor
ner, instead of from the north. or rear
of the building. as it was arranged
last year. Wide steps lead from the
grounds to the ticket Office of the ann
phitheatre. just north of the entrance
The centertield or ground inside of
the race track has been improved, and
at the west are as fine ball grounds as
can be found anywhere.
The race track is being put in first
class condition and water tables ar
ranged so as to properly drain it.
Twelve horses are already in the
stables and are in daily training for
the races. Eight men are given con.
stant employment in the care of these
horses. OF the horses Dodgeyille fur
nishes six-R. J. Owens four, and c.
+. Ellingen two, Joe Palmer, trainer,
of Darlington, has four horses, and
among his string is Smock w. that

1898, and holds the track record of
Darlington, Mineral Point, Boscobel
and Richland Centre. Time, at latter
place, 2:l94.
\ new steam pump has been put in
so as to secure an increased water
supply for stock
The improvements are in charge of
the committee appointed for the pur
pose, namely: Messrs. n. II. Snow,
John Knight and John Francis. The
work is being carefully done, so that
the beautiful grounds may be in per-
feet readiness for the reception of all
who may visit our fair which begins
on Tuesday, Aug. H..
Games of base ball viii be played
on the grounds each day of the fair,
and lovers of the national game are
already looking forward with interest
to the coming contests between cham
pion clubs of this section of the state.
From the number of inquiries re-
ceived from abroad in regard to the
running and trotting races, it is evi-
dent that horsemen win be here in
large numbers, and that during our
1897 fair will be seen a finer field of
horses than ever before brought to-
gether in the northwest.
Industrial hall will be fitted up and
in readiness before the fair for articles
for exhibition, and if the people of
Mineral Point and surrounding
country do their parts towards filling
it with the products of their industry,
the exhibition will surpass all previous
ones.

Mrs Hattie Felitz the wife Of Frederick
