THE COUNTY FAIR.

The large posters announcing the coun
ty fair furnish some idea of the new fea-
lures added this year. They cannot be
much more than suggestive, however
While every effort possible to furnish
amusement has been made, the chief
object Of the fair has not been forgotten.
The bountiful harvest of this year will
assist greatly in making the agricultur
al exhibit the finest ever shown in Mani
towoc. Farming is now done on lines
somewhat different from what We're fol-
lowed years ago when the competition
of the prairies of the Great West was
not felt 1t is becoming specialized in
the older sections The county fair
should reflect this change as an object
lesson and tits the purpose to dose. The
industrial feature of the fair should new
be lost sight of by farmers. The induce
ment this year to competitors for premi-
ums is greater than ever before. The
Fair is more in the interests of agricul
tulC tuhli Va teuy othVl Iva III VI iiiuuStiy
and this fact has been made prominent
in the preparatory work, Those engag
ed in agricultural pursuits should do their
share and thus fix the character of the
society
But there must be amusement as well
as business, particularly for large assem-
blages. The fair is more or less holi
day Friends meet and talk gossip as
well as business, It is period of re-
Taxation, a resti1 g time after the fruits
of the years labor have been gathered.
The management has not been unmindful
of the need Of furnishing enjoyment and
has outdone all former efforts in this
direction. 1t is not simply horse racing
this time. There are trapeze perform
ances, balloon ascensions and parachute
leaps, Slide for Life ON steel wire,
the operator being suspended by the hair,
Indian jugglers and knife throwers and
the celebrated Oneida Indian band whose
services are sought throughout the state.
If duty will not attract you, will not
pleasure?

| The weather and crop report for the
week says that in some sections oats are
falling short of expectations. The re-
verse is true in this county.
Sam Hall last week threshed 475 bush,
els of rye from 10 acres sown. 1t is said
to have been as beautiful a field of rye as
ever grew in this county.
The State Department is in receipt of
information which confirms the report OF
the failure of crops i'll Russia. Unless
the unusually large crops in this country
lower the price, the prospects of farmers
here doing well are excellent.
Potatoes will not be worth much this
year if all reports be true. The crop
will be an immense one and they are
selling in the southern part of the state
now at zoe. per bushel. The large yield
is partially due to the absence of pota-
to bugs.
| People were inclined to pooh-pooh at
the work of the Agricultural Department
/
in the matter of sending samples of
American butter to Europe. But con
siderable good is coming from the ex-
pertinent and orr dairy products are be-
ing received with much more favor across
the sea.
To show the change that has taken
place in this county in the character OF
crops grown the following is mentioned:
Charles Hall of the town of Manitowoc,
one of the most successful farmers in the
county, did not this year SOW any grain
of any kind. One thing may be regard
ed as certain his farm was not allowed
to remain idle or nonproductive.
Thomas Watt of Maple Grove was a
caller at The Pilot office ON Friday. He
says threshing was in progress through.
out his section and the yield ~ much ex-
ceeding expectations. Wheat is averag
ing 20 bushels to the acre. Dan Lori
gan thrcshed the produce of 10 acres and
it brought $50 bushels machine meas
urement. This was an unusually fine
field of grain, though. Barley in many
instances is yielding % bushels per acre
Early barley is discolored somewhat
but the grain is plump. Mr.. Watt says
the oat crop this year is the best evei
raised in the county. 1t is yielding u
| bushels to the acre and the quality is ex
ceptionally good Wheat is only fail
in quality.

THE HENIPTON CASE.

District Attorney Schnitz and G. G..
Sedgwick returned last Thursday from
Chicago where they had been TO take the
deposition of Albright, the travelling man
whose affidavit as to improper liberties
allowed the jury created such comino-
ton. The district attorney by his ques-
tons aroused the ire of Mr.. Albright to
such an extent that he expressed a prefer
ence for Marquis of Queensbury's rules
to legal procedure. The district attorney
stated his readiness to suspend the rules
if Mr.. Albright so requested, but this
seemed to have quieting influence and
the legal part of the machine was again
set in motion and worked on undistur-
bed until the deposition was taken
Monday morning Mr.. Sedgwick opened
his argument on the motion for a new
trial He first dewitt upon the judge 5
charge, citing portions of it which he
claimed were errors. The whole fore
noon was occupied by him in discussing
the charge. In the afternoon he took up
the affidavits and the reading of those
and discussion took up the remainder of
the day. The affidavits We're numerous.
Their tenor has been mentioned before
in these columns
A number of attorneys We're present to
hear the presentation of the case, but as
the case dragged ON interest ceased
The court adjourned over Tuesday and
the case was again taken up Wednesday
which was fully occupied by arguments
and presentation of affidavits. 1t is on
again to-day but there is a prospect of
its being finished by noon. 1t is only a
prospect however

BAD ROADS.

There were "a people present at the
mass meeting last night. Not a promi.
nent business house but one was repre-
sented Not hotelkeeper but one. Not
an alderman but one. Ne'er a manu-
facturer at all-not even member of
Pea Canning Companies which use the
country roads so much Not livery
stable keeper. Not brewer Not a
farmer. Hardly person having di-
rect interest in good roads. 1t was a
chilly reception of IA movement which
every one says ought to be encouraged,
but at the expense of the other fellows
A. Torrison, John Schmidtman. Arthur
Zander and F. Wade felt the credit of
the place had suffered by practically in
viting Miss Harder here and then almost
studiously ignoring her presence, and re-
quested her to remain over today and
they would convass the city and learn
what could be done. She agreed to do so.
Some businessmen had called at the court
house about 8 o'clock but found it not
lighted and went home

Manitowoc won from Appleton on the

number go on the excursion from this
city though there was every indication
that the game would be what it proved,
a good one
Manitowoc scored in the first inning

Daniel Watts, AN old resident of Maple
Grove committed suicide on Wednesday
of last week The body was not discov-
cred until the following morning A
light rope had been fastened by the old
man about his neck and then attached
to an old corn marker which was leaning
against a f nee. When found, only the
head and neck We're supported by the
rope, the rest of the body resting on the
ground Death probably resulted from
strangling. The appearance of the corpse
indicated a struggle before death came
The old man was arather eccentric char
acter and was always considered little
simple" by his friends He had consid-
able money, the possession and deposition
of which seemed to worry him of late.
When the body was found a large sum
of money was discovered, concealed in
his clothes He was quite old and the
mental infirmity which in his younger
DAYS made him rather odd, grew with
age into a virtual insanity. This was
generally recognized by his friends yet
no one thought he contemplated SO tragic
AN end. nor did he ever intimate such
was his intention,
"Old Dan" was known by all who at
tend Maple Grove church. He had a
great fondness for children and the little
ones, awed at first by his eccentric ways,
soon learned to know him as friend.
He had no family, living for long periods
with different persons. One OF his pc
culiarities was to consider and speak of
everything belonging to the family with
whom he stopped as mine and he took
an interest in it betting the legitimate
possessor He was religious and attend
cd strictly to his church duties. The
funeral took place at Maple Grove on
Friday. Our pastors decision on the
ouestion of interment, we believe meets
the unanimous approval of those who
knew the mental condition OF the de-
