1t may interest readers to know
that this society was organized at
Mineral Point July 10Th, 1851, after
the Tribune had agitated the subject
through several issues. The first
president elected at the time of or
ganization was II. l.. Leffingwell, and
the first secretary was Gen. VIM. X.
Smith, father of Hon. }. M. Smith.
Articles of incorporation provide d
that fairs should be held semi-an-
nually in May and Obtober. A prem
ium list was arranged and published
at the same time. The first fair held
by the society was in this city on Oct
10th of that year. The principal fea-
lures of the fair seem to have been
addresses by G. c. Washburn and f.
j. Dunn. M. M. Cothren was Judge
of horses and awarded seven prem
iums. J. j. Ross, as judge of cattle,
awarded twelve premiums. There
was but ne premium awarded on
swine.
These facts are gathered from file
of the Tribune for that year.

NUMBER 2S
The Storm Of the Ath.

When trees began to fall, small
sheds to topple, and debris to darken
the sky before the terrible wind
from the west, n little after 4 O'Clock
on the afternoon OF the ith n repeti-
tion of the devastation Of the lorna
do of 1878, was feared by those who
remembered that terrible event in
this city. There was rushing for
cellars and othyr places offering
safety, and many hardy cheeks
blanched. But happily only n fierce
straight gale OF 20 miles an hour
came, and no appalling disaster re-
suited. The storm subsidized within
an hour, murcury in thermometers
dropped 20 degrees in rs many min
utes-from 81 to 6S.'
While rejoicing that their fears
had not been realized, people found
that considerable damage had been
done. Scores OF valuable trees In the
city and vicinity were uprooted or

demolished, Among these were
Louis Gratz, Il. Gollener, Mont

Jacka was probably the heaviest
loser in the city. He had SIX or
eight tons of tine hay in cocks. OF
which not over one ton could be
gathered up after the storm, Twelve
horse stalls on the fair grounds were
demolished, u loss Of Sl25 to the
society. In the aggregate, the dam

MISS DIR. LEYoLA ADAMS,
Nurse and Physician.

s...sss....
The proverbial hospitality of min
ing camp was not long in manifest
ing itself. Dr. Adams soon had a
stream of social visitors. Everyone
went to see her from the marshal to
the saloon loafer. All the women
and girls called, and much ado was
made over her. The men assured her
that they would turn their trade
her way. and the superintendent of
several Of the mines invited her to
become the mfnes'o physician, from
motives of western gallantry.
From the interest she so quickly
and spontaneously created it would
not have taken much additional en-
thusiasm to have had it ,decreed that
the men doctors, should go. Some
one did suggest this, upon the ground
that one doctor and two undertakes
were enough for Monarch. but an
other retorted that meant the SCAN
ming" of DR.. Basil Cuthbert, "the poor
mans friend" The recollection Of
his many acts of kindness settled
that vagrant idea decisively.- Fur
thermore, when the proposition came
to DIR. Adams ears she forcefully dis
couraged it. She also protested
against the zeal of the populace in
continuing TIM reception to her day
after day, as if she were there merely
as tourist instead of as a business
woman. Not only that, but some of
those whose enthusiasm would not
down went so far as to have them
selves examined for some imagined
ailments. They were willing to pay
for their amusement, but she would
not accept it and had to content her
self with Diminishing them. with q
good-natured scolding.
But all this was far nom the pur-
pose of her migration to Monarch.
She had left the crowded east he
cause Their advancement and even
the attaining of a foothold in her
profession was too difficult and prob
lematical. Hers was a retiring nature.
For the practicing Of her profession
she preferred town to a city, and a
camp to town. The opportunities.
socially and professionally, were bet
ter. For these reasons she had set
tied in Monarch.
It was q subject of common re-
mark that DIR. Adams only apparent
enemy was Mrs. Gerson, who con-
Quoted millinery store Mrs. Ger

not assisted in the reception to DR..
