The Citizens of All Mesa Coun-
ty Unite in a Wish for the
Success of Our An
nua/ Festd/ Day.
HELP PUSH 1T ALONG
Help Financially and Personally
to Make this the Brightest
Carnival Event Ever
Held in the State.

1t was too late yesterday afternoon to
give any extended notice Of the action OF
the board OF county commissioners, in
relation to the appropriation OF money
for the celebration OF Peach day. The
mere announcement was made that they
would appropriate e4OO toward the fund.
This now makes the fund available, with
out any other subscriptions, 5000.
At meeting, yesterday afternoon, OF
the committee having the work in
charge, it was decided that to properly
celebrate the event It would require
sum aggregatiny S2,sOO.
or this sum $500 has been pledged by
the city and county leaving the sum OF
81 800 yet to be raised by personal sub
scriptions.
1t should not be a herculean task to
secure this sum from the business men
of the city when it is considered the re-
sultng benefits to the city and county,
not only in the amount Of money which
is annually spent during the continu-
ance of the festival, but the resulting ad-
vertisment OF the resources Of the city
and county which will come with the
celebration OF tho event.
1t 10 we'll known that there are certain
lines of business that benefit more than
others by the celebration OF the day. To
these merchants Or persons it will be =
matter Of pleasure to respond to the call
for funds by the committee.
It will require the most active work to
secure the fund. 30 that there is suffi-
cient pledged to begin the necessary ad-
vertising of the event and to secure such
attractions as will create desire upon
the part OF these who formerly attended
the event yearly, to come again.
An entertainment committee, thor
oughly up to the times should be ap-
pointed and they should not be restrict
cd to mere pittanco for their work.
The committee to secure subscriptions
is right at work today and there should
be liberal response to their appeal. 1t
should be remembered that this commit
tee is doing the work for the public and
not for themselves and that every NOM
ent spent by them 10 loss. therefore
there fhould be no temporizing upon
the part OF those solicited but a hearty
response given to their first appeal.
This committee has no time to come
around half dozen times to see what
you propose to do. Their time, like
your own, has value and their work is
pro bono publico and without any eonsid
Grafton whatever.
Give liberally and with good spirit
and we will surely have one Of the old
time celebrs tions Of the event which will
stir the blood and quicken the industrial
pulse and shake US out of the lethargic
state into which we are periodically apt
to drop. il we do not guard carefully.
Here's to Peach Day. May she be a

On invitation of the Bloomington
Corps fourteen Lancaster ladies and a
man drove over to the pretty Blakes'
Prairie village last Saturday for
good time, and had it, They were
formally received at the Horsfall res
taurant and from there escorted bv
ones, twos, and threes to hospitable
Bloomington homes and royalty en-
tertained. Corps exercises were held
in the afternoon. Pat BARLEY and
Mr. Hurlburt, the man from Lancas-
ter were the only two males admit
ted BARLEY made speech giving
Lancaster ladies high praise but
claiming for Bloomington ladies Just
a little superiority over all others
The visiting corps ladies on account
Of their splendid treatment were will
ing to admit Pats claims for the
Bloomingtonites so long as it applied
only to women, but when you come
to talk about men, why, that's differ
ent.
Later in the afternoon refreshments
were served consisting of all season
able delicacies. The visiting party
returned home in the evening well
pleased with their days outing. Fol
lowing is the list:

For improved GOuntru Roads.

Chairman Otto Dorner of the High
way Improvement Committee of the
League of American Wheelman, makes
the following interesting remarks on
the good roads movement; "The
country road is the neglected step
child OF the legislatures. Railroads,
canals, rivers and harbors and steam
ship lines have been encouraged and
lavishly subsidized with bonuses but
practically nothing is done to the
farmer in building his country roads.
Yet these are equally important with
railroads.
eve are pre-eminently an export
ing agricultural nation, and whatever
benefits the farmer benefits the whole
country. Our grain products must
compete in European markets with
the crops of Russia, South America
and India, raised on cheap lands with
cheap labor. We can meet this COM
petition only with invention and en-
terprise, the liberal use of machinery
and the reduction of the cost of trans
portation to minimum.
The cost of shipping grain from
Chicago to New York has dropped to
one fifth of what it was at the close of
the Civil war; we can ship it from
there to Liverpool for four cents,
where we formerly paid ten and one
half cents. But the cost, in time and
effort, of man and beast in hauling
wheat from the farm to the railroad
can still be reduced by two-thirds
through good roads. That this should
be done is as essential to the contn-
ued success of American agriculture
as the reduction in railroad rates.

rather uncertain, much being washed
out and that standing is getting foul.
the ground being too wet to cultivate.
Capitalists from Lancaster mostly
are expanding money and labor in eff
forts to develope new mines in this
! vicinity. Blackjack is particularly
sought after on account of the high
price ii commands and it is TO be
hoped that success will reward their
enterprise. Charley Knapp seems to
be the king bee among the promoters
He is right on deck all the time; his
hands have the appearance of a labor
ing man and he is said to have a re-
markable appetite.
Decoration day was observed here as
usual. Three old soldiers visited the
quiet resting places in The city of the
dead and placed over each Of them the
stars and stripes, for which they
fought together side by side a long
generation ago. And although sad
memories must have come to them
they were softened by the thought
that the last year has proven that
new generation OF young soldiers has
arisen to take their places, rs patri-
otto, as brave and as sclf-sacrilicing
as their fathers were in their day and
generation. SO with all confidence we
leave the colors in their hands.

Patch Grove.

A telegram from Portland, Oregon,
announcing the marriage of Mr.. Chas.
Potter and Miss Lizzie Robertson was
received on Thursday, the 18th, by
Mrs. Rachel Robertson, mother of the
bride. Lizzie was well known in this
part of West Grant having been en-
gagged for number of years in the oc-
cupation of teaching. Mr.. Potter was
formerly of this place but went west
to seek his fortune. He was in the
employ of the X. Il. for a time at
Denver, COL; went into business at
Salt Lake City, Utah; afterwards in
Butte City. Mont. His present home
is not far from Spokane, Wash. where
he is in the mercantile business. We
highly esteem both of the contract
ing parties; they have clean records
and we are proud to say once belonged
to Patch Grove. Charley was one of
the Platteyille Potter family.
Mrs. Lib Brodt of Wyalusing spent
part of last week in Patch Grove max
ing farewell calls on old friends pre-
vious to a visit TO Genesee county, n.
Y, the home of her childhood. She
expects to start on her journey the
present week.
Mr.. Charles Alexander is in very
critical condition of health with NO
sign of improvement. The grippe Of
last winter is the cause of his trouble

GREENWOOD GRADUATES.
Typical Grant County Rural
School, and it's History
Past and Present.

We were not aware that sweet girl
graduates could bray so tremendously
before. We have heard the college
yell but what may we not expect o.
the advancing new woman.
Dora Cushman rendered an instru
mental Polka in five parts, very ac-
ceptably for an amateur.
The parting song to Dear Old
Greenwood" by the graduates, joined
in chorus by the school was very feel
ingly sung.
The graduates were Nettie H. Cush.
man, Theodore M. Cushman, Frank
l.. Carpenter and Eva +. Beers, who
received her diploma in 1898 but APP.
peared with the class and rendered
efficient service in their songs.
Miss Robinson in the presentation
of diplomas spoke very touchingly
and gave good advice for their future,
imprising them to ever keep in mind
their class motto edward and Up
ward.''
Prof Hardy of the Platteville Normal
was present and gave short but full
address on the relation of education
to citizenship which was highly en-
joyed by the entire house and received
with rapturous applause. The Prof.
is a very pleasant unassumlng gentle
man and an easy lluen. talker. A
portion of his remarks was a revela-
ton to the many farmers present and
they voted it and all exercises a grand
success and we all bid Greenwood a
happy good bye hoping to meet agsin
under as favorable conditions ere long.
Success to Greenwood and like insti-
tutions.

To Preserve 6QQS.

A friend of mine well known as q
poultry man gets over the difficulty
in this way. He writes: Il put
down eggs in lime-freshly Stacked
lime, in crock-about the consist
ency of thick cream, seven OF eight
dozen in a crock My housekeepeI
says she never has IA bad egg. She
has them now in use put down in july
and August. 1t is better than selling
when they are so cheap, and if more
people did so there would be fewer on
the market when eggs are cheap and
plentiful, and more for kitchen pur-
poses when new laid eggs are scarce
and fetching high prices. There is a
system OF wrapping eggs in butter
makers paper, packing in a box, and
turning daily to prevent the yolk ad-
herring. believe it answers but some
say not. There is a revolving box
Jansen's process-patented. Some
people rub with olive oil, some with
butter, some with olive oil and bees
waX-all are effective. Others use
dry salt but salt absorbs the liquid in
the egg and it is not so good as the
wet lime process.
Preserved eggs will not poach, so
they say-the yolk sac breaks. 1t is
important to have fresh lines Stake
it; pound Of lime to a gallon of water
will do. Some add little cream of
tartar and some boil the lime and
water but do not find it necessary to
do either. All eggs put down by any
of the processes should be quite fresh
i. G.. put down as soon as laid"
Any Of the plans mentioned in this
interesting letter would help poultry
keepers over the great difficulty in
disposing of eggs during the early
summer months when renumerative
price is obtainable Lime-water, OF
course, kills all the microbes, but the
Dutch preserve in soluble glass only
this makes :he shell 50 hard that a
small hammer is needed at the break
fast table. But the great object is to
get the egg to market in first rate
condition when they are profitable,
and here we must take lesson from
the foreigner. Looking over a case
newly arrived from abroad every egg
was full-it is, of course, well known
that rs an egg grows stale it begins
TO shrink and leaves hollow space a

Hot, hotter. hottest!

We were favored with another heavy
thunder shower Saturday night.
Lightning struck the nearly completed
new residence OF Chas. Spangler stu
ated in lower town and damaged the
building to the amount OF fifty to a
hundred dollars. 1t struck the chin
ney in the main part, ran down part
way and scattered, tearing the plast
ering. breaking the windows and cut
ting the studding clear through in
other places 1t also burnt the wires
at the depot and the telephone out at
j. Il. Walkers, the central of the
| Wisconsin line.
Mrs. A. Funk and daughter of Pet
erson, Iowa. are visiting their many
relatives and friends in this city and
vicinity.
Business in Boscobel is quite lively.
Farmers are bringing in their wool
and hogs at lively rate. Twenty
loads of hogs passed over the river
bridge one day last week and that is
only one days trade.
We attended the Children's day ex-
ercises Sunday at the new Maple
Ridge church, Crawford CO., and en-
JOY ed it very much. The people of
Marietta have very nice little church
and beautifully located. The day was
warm but good sized audience was
there to welcome the little folks and
enjoy the exercises as rendered by
them.
The Commencement exercises Of
our high school came off last Thurs
day and Friday nights. The gradu-
ating class of nineteen gave their
parting adIeux to Boscobel school Fri
day evening at Hurd's opera house.
The hall was crowded as usual and
each graduate did himself and his
teachers credit Kind friends had
decorated the building beautifully in
the class colors, green and white. The
program was necessarily long, there
being so large class. Each gradu-
ate was limited to time in order to
give each chance to display his ora
torical ability which everyone knows
is not small in this town.
Mrs. Bessie narrower of Fennimore
was an over Sunday visitor IN town.
Quite a number of our citizens are
making calculations on attending the
reunion at Platteville the middle of
this week. 1t is to be hoped that
they will not come in contact with
one of our usual heavy storms.
Too warm to write and the heat has
left only a grease spot of b. +. n.

and Leans of Lancaster was all right
Enough rivalry had been developed to
give interest to the contest and every
player did his best But few errors
were made and considerable brilliant
playing was done. The Leans were
victorious by score Of eleven to nine
and consequently feel much better
than they did the week before. Fol

PILGRIM FATHERS.

The breaking waves dashed high
On stern and rock-bound coast
And the woods against stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed
And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters 'er
When band of exiles moor'd their bark
On the wild New England shore
Not as yet the conqueror
They the true-hearted came;
Not with the roll of the stirring drums
Or the trumpet that sings of fame
Not as the flying come.
In silence and in fear;
They shook the depths of the desert gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer
Amidst the storm they sang
And the stars heard and the seal
And the sounding aisles Of the dim wood rang
With the anthem Of the freel
The ocean eagle scared
From his nest by the white waves foam
And the rocking pines of the forest roard
This was their welcome home
What sougth they thus afar?
Bright Jewels, of the mine
The wealth Of seas, the spoils Of war?
They sought faiths pure shrine
Aye. call il holy ground
The spot where first they trod
They have left unstained what there they found
Freedom TO worship God

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.

Oh say can you see by the dawns early light
What SO proudly hail'd at the wghs last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright through the perilous
fight,
Der the ramparts watched CALAMITY streaming?
An the rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thro the night that the flag still there
OH saw does the star-spanged banner yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dmly thro' the mist of the deep
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence reposes
What is that which the breeze DER the towering steep
As it itfuly blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now ii catches the CLEAN Of the mornings first beam
In full glory reflected shines in the stream
lis the star-spanged banner. OH long may it
Ger the land Of the free and the home Of the brave
And where is that band who 50 vauntingy
Mid the havoc OF and the battles confusion
A home and a country they'd leave more?
Their blood has washd their foul footsteps pollution;
No refuge could save the hreling and slave
From the terror of flight the gloom Of the grave
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
Der the land of the free and the home Of the brave.
OH thus be il ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the wars desoation;
Bcst with victory and peace may the eavenrescued land
Praise the power that made and preserved nation
Then conquer must when cause it is just
And this be motto In God is trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall
Ger the land of the free and the home Of the brave
