the Brattleboro Phoenix disposes of
Mr.. Clement and his leadership OF
the local option movement for good

John II. Mortified for governor in
1904. And all this before the count

completed. The Phoenix is a bit
hasty. Where does Proctor, its pet

GEN. w. W. CIRCUIT DEAD

Gen. VIM. w. Grout died at his
home at East St. Johnsbury Tues.
day morning after an illness of sin
weeks. He had been in ill health
in Boston only six weeks ago and
since that time he had been able to
take hardly any nourishment in il
natural way. The cause of Gen.
CIRCUITS death was prostate disease
of the bladder which incidentally
affected the stomach.
VIM. w. Grout was born at
Compton, Que, May "a, 1896, of
American parents, both father and
mother having been born in Caledo-
mia county, Vermont, whence they
returned when William was but ten
years of age. He received COM
mon school academic education and
was graduated at the Poughkeepsie
law school, New York, in 1857 with
the degree of LII. D. He was ad
mitted to the bar the same year, and
began the practice Of law at Barton,
IN 1883.
He was made captain Of a COM
pany raised in Barton for the war
and later lieutenant-colonel of the
18TH regiment which was assigned
to STANDARDS brigade. In August,
1864, Colonel Grout was mustered
out with his regiment on account of
expiration of term of service.
In 1877 he was nominated tor
congress by the Republicans of the
third district, but was beaten by
Bradley Barlow, greenbacker. In
1850 he was elected to the forty-sev-
enth congress from the third dis
trict, and was candidate for nomi-
nation in the second district in 1882,
but was defeated by Judge Luke P.
Poland, of St. Johnsbury. In 1854,
Gen. Grout was nominated by the
Republicans of the second district,
and was elected to the forty-ninth
congress by majority of over 49,
900, and was since reelected to the
tittieth, fifty-first, tifty-second, fifty
third, fifty-fourth and fifty fifth con-
crosses, invariably running ahead of
his ticket.
The great disappointment of Gen.
Grout's life was his defeat in the
election for United States senator
before the general assembly in 1900,
ex-Gov. w. p. Dillingham; being
elected.
In 1860 Gen. Grout married Lo-
raine M. Smith, who died in 1868.
Two children were born to them,
but both died in infancy.

HICKS FORECAST.

A good many of the readers of the
PILOT have much faith in the weather
prophet, ri r. Hicks Indeed, he has
been very correct in his predictions in
the past. The points of interest in
Prof. Hicks predictions for the month
of August are as follows:
"a reactiOnary storm period will be
center on August 3 and A, ana while
storm conditions will appear in their
usual progressive way there may be
no actual storms, but at this time they
will sink to . minimum. 81 o adic thun
der gusts are always probable with the
moon on the equator in summer; hence
the Vulcan storm period on the 9TH to
the l1th, may be fastened by the
moons passage over the equator on the
sixth
"An astronomic fact to be considered
at this time is that the opposition of
the planet Jupiter falls on the 5th
This increases the changes for cleo
trical storms and seismic disturbances,
all attended with great heat, from the
new moon on the 81 until the close Of
the Vulcan period about the 18th. 1t
will be cooler from the 18th, to the l4th,
Nutn lut VIII
bring return to very warm, falling
barometer and general storm condi-
tons.
There will be cloudiness with scat
tering light rains across the country
during the 14th, 18Th and 10Th. Fair
and cooler nights will follow these
reactionary disturbances
The storm period beginning at the
full moon on the 18th, and holding un-
til the 24th, is within the Mars, earth,
Mercury and Vulcan braces, and the
best outlook for rains over the interior
in this month is during this Vulcan
period Heavy gulf disturbances are
not improbable and thunder gusts will
be natural on and touching the 2lst,
I'D, and the 23d The temperature
will be excessive during the early por-
ton of this period, but will break for
cooler later on, with rising barometer.
"More rain storms may be looked
for on the 26th and 9th People living
on the south coasts of our country
should keep their eyes open for the
West India storms that are likely to
come the latter part Of the mouth.

POINTS TO SUCCESS.

Louis X Wright, secretary of the
Marathon County Agricultural Associa-
ton, has spent the past few days in the
city in the interests of the fair to be
held Sept 2, 3, and 5. In converse
ton with him we have gained enough
points to warrant the assertion that
this will be the greatest fair ever held
in Marathon county, and the weather
man alone can only interfere in max
ing it such. While here, MIR. Wright
interviewed several dealers in farm
machin ry, and these agreed to this
year make displays on an extensive
plan. 1t may be possible that belts
will be run from each piece of machin-
cry to a main shaft, and the whole
operated by small steam engine, as is
done at fairs in some of the older coun-
ties. This, besides making nice dis
play, gives the farmer an opportunity of
seeing the workings of new and i'm
proved farm machinery.
Mr.. Wright has also arranged for a
ploughing contest to be participated in
by number of farmers, and competent
Judges will be selected and this feature
will be very interesting, especially so to
the agriculturalist.
OF the cattle exhibit we have hereto
fore mentioned it in detail, and can only
add that it will be the finest display OF
pure blooded cattle ever shown in
Northern Wisconsin. Yesterday work
was begun on the new cattle shed
which will be built near the two now
on the grounds, which il is thought will
furnish enough room for the increased
number of cattle that will be shown
this fall The new building will be
36x9O feet in size, and of substantial
construction.
The exhibit of swine promises to sur
pass that of last year, which competent
Judges say was the best of any shown
at any county fair in this section.
Ia the speed department the horses
entered for this falls races are among
the speediest in the state, besides some
from neighboring states, and those who
admire the sport will get their money S
worth
Several deals are now on for other
attractions, w ich are of promised in
terest, and if we were to go into detail
we could mention many other features
that will bear out our statement that
this will be the greatest of all fairs.
The Athens band will furnish music
and the county is now being billed by Q
crew of bill posters.

A THIRTY FOUNDER.

C. w. Harger, the popular Vice
President of the Marathon County
Bank, went up last Saturday, to that
most beautiful of all lakes of Northern
Wisconsin-PIum Lake-to spend Sun
day with his family who are at the
Seholfeld Harger Manson cottages.
w. B. Scholfield, always energetic and
one who knows every ''musky' bar in
the big lake, proposed boat ride and
while he handled the oars, Mrs. Schol-
field took front seat and Mr.. Harger
and daughter, Constance, aged seven
years, took the rear seat.
They went over near where Star Lake
creek empties into Plum and where
there are many water lilies; picking a
few they started out into the lake, and
as they cleared the weeds, Constance
dropped the trolling hook into the water
and when it was out about thirty feet
from the boat, she received strike
which made her think that she had the
whole bottom of the lake on her hook
and she had to call on her father for
assistance. Mr.. Scholfield, who had
had lots of experience in landing large
''muskys," pulled for deep water, and
then commenced great fight, such as
only the gamey muskallonge can put
up. No one in the boat had shooting
iron" of any kind and the boat was
taken as rapidly as possible over to the
McCrossen cottage.
Henry McCrossen happened to be
there and he heard the eommotion and
the cries for gun, and he grabbed a
revolver and went out in his boat and
put bullet through the fish's head
1t proved to be a thirty pound muscal
longe, and the largest one that has been
ttken out of Plum Lake this season. 1t
was great sport and Mr.. Harger says
that it took half an hour to get the fish
J into the boat after it took the hook
Mr.. Harger brought the fish home with
him and it was on exhibition all day
yesterday at the Crystal Cafe, where il
was seen by many of our citizens. Five
or six "muskys" day are being now
taken out of Plum Lake, weighing
from ten to thirty pounds.
