Geo. NJ. Cox who came here for
the purpose of attending our fair and
meeting with friends and neighbors
of years gone by, left for his home at
Mason City, Iowa, Monday afternoon
of this week. Mr. Cox will be re-
membered by most of our older citi-
zens as one who trained trotting
horses and successfully broke in
young colts to drive nicely, and it
was he who brought here from Penn
sylvania the popular horse Stanley.
1t is 10 years since Mr.. Cox moved
from here, and this was the first
visit in that time. He comments
favorably on the improvements the
city has undergone since his depart
ure, and how well the Mineral Point
fair society maintains its reputation
for being IA leader, as was the case
when he was active in its affairs.

."took day OFF, Friday and attend
ed the Mineral Point fair. The regu-
lar agricultural show (including the
races and ball gametw was fully up to
standard, but the special and new
features made the fair far better than
usual, the diving horses and elks,
and the wonderful shooting of DR..
Carver being a show in themselves,
and the educational exhibit by the
children of the public schools being
a new department which we opine
will hereafter be one of the most in

tigation, declared that Charles W. Shiles
Is Of unsound mind and Incompetent to
take care of his person or property. The
matter was taken up on the petition OF Mrs.
Mamie c. Shiles. the wife Of the subject
Of the enquiry. The proceedings were con-
Quoted by Assistant United States Marshal

brance of .S3,0 900 upon it.

ouainted with him the witness said that

A BROOM CORN TRUST.
The Product COrnered and Prices
Greatly Raised.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The Broom Corn
Trust is at last known quantity, 1t hav-
ing been incorporated under the laws of
the State of Indiana. as the Union Broom
Supply Company, with headquarters at the
corner of State and Kinzie Streets. Chi

as filed with the secretary Of state at In
dianapolis: G. s. Tarbox. Thomas Lyons.
W. L. Roseboom, Oscar /. Merkle, A. ].
Kline, F. F. Myer, William F. Lang. Au-
gustus Rosenberger, George L. Mesker, and

citation has been to corner the broom corn
market, and 1t is claimed they have sue
ceeded, having over s2,000.0 900 invested in
a quantity estimated between 5000 and
10000 tons, or seven-eighths Of the total
crop of 1899.
Prices of broom corn have been advanc-
ed over 150 per cent already, and If the
promises of the syndicate are realized
these prices will be very much further in

q heavy advance in the price OF brooms,

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
Good Medicine.

Prevents Many People From Trying
Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any REM
edy claiming to be radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion Many
such pride themselves on their aeuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be car
ried too far, so far, in fact, that many peo-
Pile suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk a little time and money in
faithfully testing the claims made of a
preparation so reliable and universally used
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vast
ly different in one important respect from
ordinary proprietary medicines, for the rea-
son that they are not a secret patent medi-
cine; no secret is made of their ingredients
but analysis shows them to contain the nat
ural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep
sin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal bis
muth, hydrastis, and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on
any organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common-sense plan Of digesting the food
eaten thoroughly before 1t has time to
ferment, sour, and cause the mischief. This
is the only secret Of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure Indigestion and stomach troubles. be-
cause they act entirely on the bowels.
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison, as II creates gas, acidity, head
aches. palpitation of the heart. loss OF hesh
and appetite, and many other troubles
which are often called by some other rams.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 80 cents per package. Address F. A.

FOR ATHLETIC REFORM.
Plans to Localise Coliegians' Men,
bership in Clubs.

Plans to Localfse ColIegians' Men,
bership in Clubs.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-Oliver Shiras, Of
Cornell. the delegate of the intercollegiate
Amateur Athletic Association to the ANA
teur Athletic Union. expressed his views
freely yesterday regarding the proposed
amendments to the constitution OF the A.
A. u. framed to deprive college athletes
of the privilege they have hitherto enjoyed
Of representing any club they might select.
whether they resided in the A. A. U. dis
trict of the club or not. With regard to
the general idea of the amendment, Shiras
emphatically declared in its favor, and in
timated that in case the A. A. U. failed to
adopt the main features of the proposed
amendments. it is probable that the Inter-
collegiate Association will be asked to give
the matter attention at its annual meeting,
when even more drastic restrictions might
result.
There Is a very strong feeling among
many of the leaders OF college athletics
against undergraduates representing ath-
letic clubs under any circumstances" said
Mr. Shiras. Many of the abuses, which
I regret to say have been noticeable in our
athletics, have been directly traceabie to
the dominating influence of the athletic
clubs. l consider the proposed amendments
Just as healthful and necessary for the
maintenance Of a proper standard in gen.
eral athletics as for the colleges; in fact,
the matter appears to me Of vital impor-
tance and concerns the very life Of athletic
sport throughout the Union. One club for
which have personally the highest e6eem.
has a monopoly Of all the crack athletes,
and the local pride which the success Of
man like Kraenzlein should inspire among
residents of Wisconsin is entirely submerg-
ed by the fact that he represents New
York organization.
when il is made compulsory for an ath-
lete to represent the district in which he
lives 1t will only be a matter Of time be-
fore teams will be developed in the West
and New England that will be able to COM
pete with a fair chance of success against
the New York Athletic Club. 1t may be
two or three years before the change will
bear fruit, but there is little doubt that
the more competitors are localized the
greater will be the interest aroused. The
establishment of a mileage limit would, in
my opinion, be desirable addition to the
conditions of competition. and Of particular
benefit to the Metropolitan Association by
encouraging the clubs in towns up the
State, such as Albany, Rochester, Buffalo,
and Syracuse, whose athletes now labor for
the glorifcation of New York city clubs

Unbecoming an Officer.

Constable Gould Accused of Conduct
Unbecoming an Officer.
Samuel R. Church, justice Of the
peace for the District. yesterday filed COM
plant against his constable, w. H. H.
Gould. charging him with conduct unbe-
coming an officer, in that he refused to
serve a writ placed in his hands for exc
cution. Upon the matter being called to
the attention of the justices of the Supreme
Court Of the District an order was issued
requiring Constable Gould to appear on
November II and answer the charges
against him.
It is explained in the complaint made by
Justice of the Peace Church that Con-
stable Gould was given a certain writ Of
replevin to serve in the case Of George w.
Longdon against W. F. Salter and that he
refused to execute the writ.
