John Fleming, a convict serv-
ing life term at Michigan City,

in order that he may visit his
father who is dying. This is the

FROM IOWA TO CALIFORNIA ON FOOT.
Fred Coubert, a New York
pedestrian, left Waterloo, Iowa,
last week to tramp to San Fran
cisco. He is under contract to
walk the entire 1000 miles for a
purse of $1,000. This will be the
second trip across the continent
on foot for Coubert, and he be-
lieves he will beat his record.
TWO JUSTICES IN ONE.
Lake township, Iowa, bids fair
to have two justices in one for the
coming year. At the republican
caucus held there last week d. B.
Rerreman was nominated for JUS
tice, and after the caucus it be-
came known that he was elected to
that position last fall to serve two
years. The township is entitled
to two justices, and a newspaper
correspondent suggests that the
following condition may result if
the republicans land their man
this fall: Herreman may fine a
criminal before himself, as JUS
tice Herreman, and assess charges
for the fine. The defendant may
take change of venue to Squire
Herreman, who can again fine
him and collect charges, and in
each case collect for the change.
The justice will have a corner on
Lake township courts and may
dictate terms at will.
THROUGH THE RAPIDS IN A BARREL.
Miss Maude Willard of Canton,
Ohio, expects to be the next per-
son to make trip through the
rapids and whirlpool of Niagara.
Miss Willard will make the at
tempt in barrel invented by
Carlisle D. Graham, which he
claims to be very safe craft.
Graham will give the signal for
setting the barrel adrift at the
entrance to the rapids, and will
then hasten to the whirlpool on
the American side. There he
will watch to see if Miss Willard
and the barrel are landed. If she
goes out of the whirlpool he will
jump into the river and swim to
Lewiston, protected by life pre-
server. Ii MISS Willard lands al
the whirlpool Graham promises to
swim to Lewiston alone. In this
trip he will pass through the
nastiest bit of water between the
two lakes. In making this swim
James Scott of Lewiston was
drowned Aug. l9, 1886, and Cap
tain johnson failed to make il
Aug. II last. Miss Willard is q
years old, and has been doing
vaudeville turns. She will wear
a dark blue bathing suit trimmed
with white braid. The trip will
be made before the end of August.

Fair Exhibit The prison exhibit
All Complete for the state fair is
completed and will be shipped to

the figures described in The MIR

clude a collection of models of
school supplies manufactured in
shop 81" and a full line of hemp
in the process of manufacture into
binding Irvine. When Governor
Van SAINT was here on Monday he
viewed the exhibit and expressed
himself as being much pleased
with it. The idea of having lay
figures to represent convicts OF
the different grades has been
abandoned, as the false faces made
the things caricatures. The grade
uniforms will be exhibited but
will simply be hung on models.

 which has made these suppers in former years such a Splended success.
 The collection taken at the visit of

The dOwnpOur of rain on WedneS.
 day morning was anything but favor
 able prospect for the holdinglof the an
 nual sale on the afternoon of that day.
 But the partial clearing of the
 weather about noon, with the sun shin ing at intervals, made things look much more encouraging to the faithful work CTS in the parish, and even the sudden showers in the early evening did not prevent good attendance at the Par ish Room.
 The sale opened at o'clock. The l spacious room was arranged attractive. The large booth in the center was ar ranged in the form of hollow square for the sale of the fancy work. Through the efforts of the women of Trinity parish large collection of the results of their industry in the line of needle. work was gathered to- gether and very soon this table was shorn of most of its beauty and attrac- | tiveneSS.
 This department was in charge of Mrs Harry s. Nichols and the Misses Dikeman.
 F On the left of the door the candy booth was very tastefully decorated by | those in charge, being trimmed with fancy crepe paper.
 The favOrite homemade candy was sold out, although there was larger quantity than usual this. year. This booth was in charge of MrsJ. s. Miner, Miss Todd, Miss Healy, and Miss Young.
 On the right of the entrance Mrs s. c. Glover, assisted by Miss Josephine Glover, had charge of the cake table, the contents of which met with the usual favor, being nearly all disposed 0'; The most attractive thing for the children was the "Magic Bird'-the the ''Goose of 1900" reappearing again after it's fight, having in the mean | time visited Bridgeport and town in New Hampshire. Miss Agnes Platt had charge of this booth and the chil- dren were delighted.
 The usual tables for ice cream and cake were laid out and found plenty of patronage during the afternoon and evening. Miss Emma Terrill was as- sisted in this department by Miss Mar ion Peck, Miss May Hoyt, Miss Emily Jones, Miss Lottie Blackman, Miss Eva Blackman, Misses Bessie and Florence Glover.
 All who attended had very enjoy able social time and counted it one of the pleasant features of Newtown's summers.
