The Fair at Dodgevilie.

The county fair held at Dodgeville
last week was one of the best in the
history Of the society, for which
special credit is due the untiring, en-
rgetic efforts of the officials, who
labored under somewhat unfavor-
able circumstances. The attendance
the last two days was good, and the
sociability of the gathering was a
conspicuous feature, brought about
by the hospitality and "glad hand"
extended by the citizens of Dodge
vile in general.
Referring to the fair proper, there
was shortage in some of the stock
departments in point of number, but
not in merit. The displays il the
field, garden, floral, fine art, and
other departments compared favor
ably with any other fair of like pre-
tentions. While there was a scarcity
in race horses, such as other fairs in
this section have had to contend
with this season, what racing took
place held closely the attention OF
all who enjoy the sport. The ball
games proved hot contests, and un-
doubtedly entertained the people as
mnch as any one feature. Each of
the three games was decided by one
tally, thus the winner could not be
named until the last out decided it.
Many good players participated !;
some from Milwaukee, Jefferson and
Freeport. But one player from Min
eral Point was enlisted in any of the
contests, and that was Chas. Bam-
brough, who pitched for Highland
on Friday in the game of winners VS..
winners, and came out victorious by
the score of to 5, Notwithstanding
he faced the strongest aggregation
of batters that lined up OH one side
at either of the three game played.
The special attractions, which by the
way ale getting to be very expensive
and seemingly unnecessary features
with all fairs, were somewhat differ
ent yet equal in skill and daring to
those seen at other county fairs this
year. With an improved race course
and grand stand the society ought
easily to hold it's own with any other
county fair association in the state.
And why not?

WOODS FULL OF FOXES.
Hunt Club Looking Ahead to a
Lively Season.


The next season of the Chatham
Hunt Club, promises to be a lively one.
More foxes are in the woods now than
in years and the best part OF 1t, is that
they are old foxes. This insures fine
chases. Last season was an enjoyable
one. but not as many foxes were caught
as in the season of 1900.
The sly old, reynards which escaped
the Hunt Club hounds last year will
give all the better chase when the sea-
son opens two months hence. 1t is
doubted If there is a club in the coun-
try which can show a finer pack OF
hounds or a pack which is faster and
runs closer. The pack numbers now
about rs dogs and they are in splendid
condition.
Several applications for membership
have been received and when the sea-
son opens this year many new riders
will be found among those who ride.
An invitation has been received from
a fox hunter who maintains pack of
hounds in Effingham county 10 join
him in a chase in that county when
the weather gets cooler and il is not
unlikely the club will accept the invi-
tation.
1T has been suggested that the club
train some of its dogs for deer as
members of the club may prefer to
hunt deer. and the master of KENNEL
will probably ask that the rules of the
club be changed so as to provide for
this.
The fire side hunt which opens the
season will be held as usual at the
De Soto the latter part of September.

Florist Had Money in His Pockets
and Thought Thief Was After 1t.
AS Mr.. A. C. Oelschig walked down
Bay street yesterday with his hand
on a bag of silver dollars in the
coat pocket a fellow pedestrian on
West Broad hailed him and gesticu-
lated wildly. The florist did not know
the man who was across the street but
presumed he had his eye on the bag of
money which bulged from his pocket.
He only smiled at the man and passed
on. But the pedestrian would not stop
shouting and ran across the street to-
ward Mr.. Oelschig. Before, however,
he overlook the florist blaze of ire
reached up from under Mr.. Oelschigs
arm.

CURED the florist of himself.
AS he raised his arm a second time
another flame shot upward. The flo
rist began to suspect something was
wrong and with some show of haste
pulled off his coat. 1t was speedy
work. With one hand Mr.. Oelschig
held the money bag while he used the
other to stamp out the fire and rescue
the coat. not, however, before one
side of it had gone up in smoke.
II remember seeing a cigar which
someone threw out a store into the
street, I supposed, along about Bar
nard and Bay as 1 passed down, but
thought the cigar fell to the ground.
l did not dream that it fell into my
pocket. And when the man called TO
me 1 had no other idea but he had
seen the money in my pocket and was

A LIFE OF UPS AND DOWNS.
How John Lasche Lost His Fortune
Through the Two Sans.

through the Two sans.
''Old man Lasche, who died the
other day, was a rather remarkable
character" said an acquaintance of
Lasche yesterday. "He came here
from South America and established a
delicatessen on Barnard street and
seemed to know his business. He
prospered for more than a year and
brought to Savannah many kinds of
meats and game which had not been
seen here before. Finally he went
around on Bay. street and started a
saloon and failed. This seemed to dis
courage him and he went from bad to
worse financially, until he was unable
TO establish himself in business at ALL"
Those who knew the old mans his
tory were sorry for him. He had seen
better days. He was well educated
and came from France many years
ago TO this country and settled in
Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He
launched out as a brewer and in a
short time anassed a fortune. He
bought real estate, drove fine horses,
owned a stock farm and had fine cows.
When he was in his prime SaR Jones
and Sam Small went through that
country and were the movers in
crusade against the brewery and
at last, after a hard fought
battle, liquor was embargoed in
state. Lasche had to sell his farm and
his real estate and he used to say that
he received for property which cost
him $4,000 only $4,000. He went to
South America and with other men of
South Dakota secured a concession
fIom the government to deliver the
mails for which the company was to
receive large tracts of land.
Lasche went to Europe and
bought a steamer, but before
he returned the government per-
mitted others to-. secure the land.
Lasche and his associates abandoned
the project and sold the steamer and
bought coffee plantation in Vene-
zuela, which the old man owned at
the time of his death. The insurrection
drove him from that part of the world
and he launched out as a superintend-
ent of reformatory in Minnesota, and
is said to have conducted the best re-
formatory was talked of in Chatham
county Lasche was deeply interested
in it. In Minnesota the prisoners were
principally whites and made toys. For
many years Lasche managed the
school and it was wonderfully success
| full
firing of this after awhile he went
| hack to South America and was again
| forced to leave owing to the insurrec-
| tons and at last came to Savannah.
He was bitter against Sam Jones and
Sam Small, and predicted they would
| ruin Savannah.

SELECTION OF CARRIERS.
Examinations to Fill Positions Will
Be Held on Aug. Z.

DE On aug
An examination for appointment to
the position of carriers for the rural
free delivery routes to be established
in Chatham county will be held at
the postoffice building on the morning
of Aug. I. The examination will be
conducted by T. P. Calhoun, special
agent Of the free delivery bureau of
the Postoff1ce Department.
There are two carriers to be named
at once, one for each of the routes that
have been laid out. One of these routes
will run out the Thunderbolt road to
Thunderbolt, Isle of Hope Beaulieu,
Montgomery and intermediate points,
while the other will be out the White
Bluff road to White Bluff, Nieolsonville
and other places in that section of the
county.
While there are only two positions
to be filed at once, the examination
will serve also to supply list Nf ELI
gibles, from which future appoint
ments will be made in the event va
cancies should occur, as they probably
will.
The examination will consist of
eighteen practical questions. designed
to test the applicants fitness for the
discharge of the not very difficult du
ties of the position. The rules require
that applicants shall be between the
ages of II and So years, though the
maximum age limit is disregarded in
the case of applicants who were Union
soldiers during the Civil War or the
Spanish-American war.
Mr.. Calhoun will leave to-day for
Halcyondale, from which point a ru-
raj free delivery route is to be estab-
lished. He will be at oliver for a sim
liar purpose on Friday and Saturday
and at Ogeechee on Aug. 3. At all of
these places examinations to fill the
position of carrier will be held as soon
as the routes have been mapped out
and sufficient notice given.
