Madison, Wis. Sept. 24.-The

western Wisconsin state fair this year
amounts to abolt $1,000 generous
incentive to- put Up a good show. The
fair last week was the fifth and i'll
it twenty-nine counties joined, most of
them in earnest. The state fair and
the Walworth county are the most
ambitious efforts of the sort, and the
Chippewa Falls show aspires to be in
this class. The cold weather and de-
preston attendant on the death OF
President Mckinley tended to dimln'
ish interest. For instance, ON Thurs
DAY of last year the gate receipts Were
$4,000; this year but 81 800. Neverthe-
less, it was a creditable show and
most enjoyable, however viewed. A,
the same time the city ran a down.
town carnival with the familiar fakir
and booth attachments. The
streets were gay with banners and
flags, and in the evening people lis
tened to free music from platforms and
saw jugglery, etc. and threw colored
paper over each other. To this down.
town celebration the business men con-
tributed $1,000.

About eleven o'clock Thursday
night as one OF the boarderS OF the
Exchange Hotel was going o. iIis
room, he noticed man lying on the
bed In one OF the rooms with anecktie
tied i'm moose about mis- neck and the
other end fastened 10 the bed post.
Slight investigation showed that the
man was dead and that he had
suicided. The bOarder gave the alarm
and soon a crowd was gathered about
the place. The dead man proved to
be Louis Larson, woodsman who had
been out Of the woods but a few days
and who had been acting strangely
ever since he struck town. The cor.
oner was summoned and an inyeStiga-
tion was had with the conclusion
reached that Larson came to his

A number OF conflicting stories have

believing that the surrounding cir.

and an adjournment of the hearing
has been had until next Tuesday.

Paris Exposition Prizes.

The United States received more prizes at the Paris Exposition than any other nation, except France. The total being 1,96l. It is also a remark able fact, that though the inhabitants of every country suffer from digestive troubles, and though every cline offers some alleviative tberefrom, it remains for America to produce an absolutely reliable remedy for such common diseases. This remedy is Hostetter' s Stomach Bitters. Half century ago, it was placed upon the market, and from that day to this, it has never been equalled. It has an almost unparal- leled record for the cure of dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, sick head ache, sour stomach, belchirg, heart. burn, nervousness, fatigue, insomnia or any other disturbance of the stom'
 ach. Be sure to give it.a trial.

Sheriff w. c. Truman and Fletcher Doan, youngest son of Judge Doan, were bitten recently by dog which is supposed to have been mad, and on Tuesday last they left over the South ern Pacific for Chicago, where they will take the Pasteur treatment. Dis torted accounts of the affair have app peared in the Phoenix papers, so this plain statement of facts is made. Each was bitten on the hand, and not horri- bly, mangled as stated. The dog, was small fox terrier recently presented to MT. Truman by Chief Sullivan, of the San Francisco fire department, and the animal has since died with symp- toms of hydrophobia. At the Pasteur Institute the treatment is considered an absolute specific, so friends and relatives of the Sheriff and little Fletcher need give themselves no uu- easiness.

Thursday afternoon the pupils of Mrs. Colton's room pleased parents and friends by their programme of closing exercises for the year. The marches, songs and .'pieces" were all good and well given. Learning how to Whistle' by one small boy was very funny and well whistled Ten little Soldiers" were brave as brave could be with their gallant little captain, and the doll drill by number of tiny girls was "cute" indeed, and indeed the whole affair was far above the aver age. Friday at ? p. ln. large number of our people gathered again to hear the last day exercises of the scholars of Mrs. Summers and Principal Wilson's rooms. The whole programme was more than excellent; it was fine The concert reading and singing by Mrs. Summers pupils were far above the average and very pleasing to the audience. The TRIBUNE regrets that at so late an hour the names of so many who did themselves and their teachers honor cannot be given. There had been hard work and faithful train ing, and it showed plainly in the way all was done. The school year is ended most pleasantly and Florence is proud of its public school, it's scholars and its teachers.

The programme of the graduating exercises of the Phoenix Indian school which were given during this week, in appearance and contents might have been issued by many an eastern college of standing with credit to itself. From the baccalaureate sermon preached by Rev. Lapslev McAfee, Monday evening, to the commencement exercises, Fri day evening, the week was full of good things, prize speaking, music, exposi- ton of work and olass-day exercises. The school motto, "Work and Thou Shalt Have" has evidently been carried out successfully by the class of 1901.

The body WAS kept in state for over week to give time for friends to attend the funeral. Many were there, coming from different localities. Undoubtedly some were drawn by curiosity, but as surely there were others who came to pay loving trio- ute and to mourn the loss of friend. May he sleep in peace.

What might almost be called an ideal trip is being taken by Mr, Gunsaulus and family of Richford, H., who passed through Florence this week on their way to Salt Lake. The three wagons used by the party were models of comfort and convenience. Beds and cooking appliances were all that could be desired, aud the exten- sion of the wagon beds covered with white canvas made dwelling of three rooms which might be far from being despised by any tourist. A summer vacation taken in this way through our territory would be healthful, in teresting and economical and joyous memory for years after.

The inhabitants of Hanover object to paying highly for the fire brigade, which seldom has to extinguish a fire, so they now require that the wearers of the regulation helmet and ax shall attend to accidents and sudden illness in the public streets. For instance, says a Hanover correspondent, if an old lady, feels faint under the burdens of her winter finery she has but to attract the. attention of the nearest policeman, who in his turn telephones for the fire brigade, which promptly turns up in carriage and four.
