fortune to hear a male quartette com

more perfectly balanced in modula-
tion and power than your own. 1t is

THE Ottumwas' were the favorites

high praise, for Cedar Rapids audi
ences have heard the most famous
quartettes that visit the west.
Baltimore Sun: The opening con-

good, if not better, than in former
years. The Ottumwa Male Quartette
captured the audience.

merit. The audience showed the eX-

ANNUAL FAIR MEETING.

About 80 of the 30 members of the
Southwestern Wisconsin Fair Com
pany attended the annual meeting of
stockholders yesterday, representing
about ST. 900 of stock. The number
was sufficient, however, to transact
business under the bylaws, and con-
siderable business was done. The
secretary and treasurer submitted re-
ports, which will be published next
week. From those reports it appears
that the profits of the fair for 1898,
including 800 invested in amphitheatre
stock are about $3.50. and that after
paying about 1925 of floating debts
outstanding year ago, and liabil'
tiles incurred at present, there will bo
a small balance with which to begir
business for 1899. The gain is not
large, but decided Improvement ovel
deficits heretofore usually reported al
annual meetings.
After considerable discussion it was
voted to pay the claims of Ludden &
Co. and Hurlbut x Co., amounting tC

Death of Grace Wells Harrington.

(From Oshkosh Daily Northwestern, Oct, FL
Mrs. Geo. Harrington, formerly
Miss Grace Wells, passed away ut 10
minutes past four O'Clock this morn
ing. at the home of her mother, Mrs.
Emily j. Wells, 1879 Division street.
Since last February she had been i'll
with diabetes, gradually growing
weaker and wasting away, until last
Tuesday noon, when the disease took
the form of diabetes coma. From
that time until the last, she remain
ed unconscious.
Mrs. Harrington was born in Brit
ish Hollow, Grant county, WiScon-
sin, March IL, 1862. Her father, the
late Rev. &. w. Wells, was for sew
eral years pastor of the First Metho-
dist church in this city, and later was
presiding elder of the Oshkosh dis
trict. Deceased came to this city
seventeen years ago with her par
ents. Since then she has resided in
this city continuously. Previous TO
her marriage to George Harrsngton,
of the Globe Printing company,
which occurred March So 1896, she
was engaged in the millinery bust
ness.
Mrs. Harrington has very large
circle of friends in this city, to whom
the announcement of her demise
will be sad shock. She was an
earnest member of the First Metho-
dist church and was held in high es-
TEEN for her cheerful and self sacrl-
ticing character and ever readiness
to help those in need of assistance.
70 the very last she was brave and
hopeful OF recovery. Besides the be-
reaved husband and mother, de-
ceased is survived by Il brother, Geo.
Nj. Wells, of this city. Relatives in
Portage, Mineral Point and Wauke-
sha have been notified and II num-
Der of them are expected to join the
afflicted family.
Only two and half years ago the
deceased visited Mineral Point on
her bridal tour, seeming in the most
vigorous health, and bright pros
poets of long life of happiness with
a noble husband. Since the develop
ment of the terrible disease terml-
mating in death, she gradually failed
despite all that medical skill and her
devoted husband, mother and other
friends could do, but the end came
much sooner than was expected, and
with crushing weight upon these
wounded hearts.
The funeral was held on Sunday
with services ut the First NJ. +.
church of Oshkosh, the large audi
ence room being crowded. Among
the mourners from distance were
Mr.. and Mrs. J. +. Wells, Mr.. r. NJ.

Connecticut's Tribute to Our

account of the trip to the Arkan-

are properly eulogized. Rocky
Ford gets the following honorable
mention.
ASpeaking of melons, Colorado
certainly beats the world as Litch-
field people who have enjoyed
this fall the famous Rocky Ford
cantaloupes can testify. Good as
these are here they are poor stuff
compared with the fresh fruit out
there. If cantaloupes are as brain
producing as fish what brilliant eff
fusions will the rerders of humid
reds of papers all over the country
be treated to, there days! Melon
Day is a great institution in east
ern Colorado. It is held early in
September add special trains be-
sides vehicular conveyances bring
thousands of people to Rocky
Ford. Fifteen thousand melons
in one pile is pretty good supply
and yet that is what this Same
town does for its annual free festi-
val. Thirty-eight car loads of
melons, chiefly cantaloupes, were
shipped from Rocky Ford in one
day this past season. That was
high water mark though other
days nearly touched this record.
/ The total shipment of melons
from all points in the Arkansas
valley, reached this year the enor-
nous amount of 1925 cars! Re-
member that only a few years ago
this entire region was an arid des-
ert.
