That's the Banner Our Fair Society
Threw to the Breeze. and Last Week
Exposition Royalty Upheld the Claim.

| Mineral Point has held many fairs
| in her history. AS far back as 1851
the Tribune files tell of one held De-
tcber 10th and llth. This was a
frontier mining camp at that time
while farming and stock raising were
but very meagerly prosecuted, and
there being no racing on sports of any
nature, it is to be supposed that the
promoters met with encouragement
as we read Of no othor fair unit! 1858
when the Mineral Point Industrial
Art Union held its first annual fair
Oct. 18th and 18th.
Since that time our city has been
noted for grand, successful fairs, but
as n whole, every department, wealth
er, etc, duly considered, not one of
them surpassed the fair held in Min
eral Point this year 1t was the first
Of the year and will unquestionably
prove equal to the best of the year.
Nowhere will be seen superior horses,
cattle, sheep, swine, grain. vegeta-
bles, etc. than were on exhibition
here last week, and the best of all. ev-
cry animal and article was the pro-
duct of this immediate vicinity, than
for the producing of which no better
spot can be found under heavens
dome. In the household, floral and
fine art departments, the success Of
which depend largely on the intelli-
gence and skill of women, the eX-
hibits were such as to command the
unstinted praise of the many thou
sands who carefully viewed them
To enhance the excellence of the fair
our business men, manufacturers and
mechanics placed some very attrac-
tive displays in she hall, which spoke
in no uncertain Kramer ftheir pro-
gressive, enterprising spirit,
Possibly the sHecal attractions did
not please as thoroughly as those of
some former years, bnt the whole
was in reality what it is designated
to be--A FAIR, and not circus, to
which many agricultural societies
are inclined to lean with an idea of
drawing the people. 1t is the opinion
of the Tribune that the sooner fair
managers confine themselves strictly
to that for which the societies were
organized the better for one and all.
The races were spirited and inter-
esting, giving better satisfaction than
usual, See detailed results else
where.
1t will prove one of the most profit
able meetings in the history of the
society, as the receipts were large
and expenses moderate. Exact fig
ures were not obtainable at the hour
of going to press.

Rank Misrepresentation.

In the last issue of the Republic, a
paper published at Dodgeville, APP
peared the following:
THE Dodgeville band has been engaged to
play at the pattevile fair, and will receive
s264 90. which is S6i.0O more than any of the
other bands which have been hired TO play
there will receive. This compares very cred
itably with Mineral Points munihcent offer
of 5000 and pay their own expenses
This is a rank Misrepresentation
OF facts, wherein the author displayed
loss discression than might reason
ably be expected from one in swad-
ding clothes. The following letter
from Professor Bray, director of the
Dodgeville band, is sufficient con-
tradicsion of the senseless SOUP, and
further comment is unnecessary, 9TH
er than to say that instead of getting
$26400 for playing at Platteville the
compensation is fixed at sl0S, and
pay their own expenses:

of husband who, on his return from a

portrait of mother that stood on the floor
for six weeks because you hadn't brought
me any picture-hooks-"
"WelI, I intended to, but"
"Oh, it doesn't make any difference now.
I made hook myself out of hairpin."
"No!"

He leaned forward, touching tie division

medicine like man, and don't imagine
it was altogether without bitterness.
'Tisn't an ordinary man that can do it"
Cider and Reagan never knew why 1t
was that they were chosen from among
their fellows and given places in the con-
struction department at wages double
what they had been receiving. 1t is prob
able they would not have comprehended
the reason had the division superintend-
emit or even the general manager givenit
to them, for neither the mind of the
division superintendent nor that Of the
general manager was entirely clear upon
the subject. Something deeper than rea-
son had called the turn.
Five years have passed SINCE the fight
at Shell Bend took place. Cider Is now

man in charge of the work was Reagan.

he grasped elders hand. 'Tis the

'.My woman borrowed the bread she
put into my dinner pail this morning
from the folks over at your boarding
place." said Jim gently, ''and twas good
bread. You'll get great woman when
you marry Bridget, Tim"
"Huh?" Tim stopped, staring into
Jim's face.
jim nodded, his eyes twinkling.
"Well then, IL" Tins usually
ready tongue refused to perform its Of
Ace, '1-well then-'twas good bread,
Jim, and that's the truth"
Then, laughing, the two men shook
hands cordially.
The story Of the fight CHANGED to travel
far. An assistant roadmaster Of the
Great Eastern, walking over the track
from Shell Bend station that morning,
arrived in season to witness the some
what extraordinary spectacle and to join
in the shout that went up when Tim told
the joke to the gang as being something
altogether too good to keep. And the
assistant roadmaster told the roadmas-
ter of it, and the roadmaster told con-
ductor, and the conductor told friend
in the general offices, and so it went on
until it came to the ears of the general
manager himself. 1t was a division
superintendent who told the general
manager, and he coupled the recountal
with references to the trouble that al
ways came to Shell Bend when the wa
ters were high.
''They tell me-" said he, smiling slight
ly, that whenever the track goes out at
that point, and so far this year it has
gone out twice-the men mix curses with
their bread because the line wasn't cut
through the hill above. Had it been cut
through the hill nasty reverse cut
would have been avoided and the track
would have been beyond the reach OF
high water. The men recognize the fact
it is so manifest they can't avoid
recognition of it, they say-and for some
reason it frets them. think can I'M
derstand it. They feel certain pride in
their work, as do the rest of us; they
have keen eye for good track; they
dislike to see good track destroyed.

the core of all mankind; think there is.

The general manager was a broad
man, and he listened seriously. The
moral aspects of the Shell Bend PROPOSE
ton had never been presented to him
before. The story of the fight between
Tim Reagan and Jim Cider touched
him in new spot. Perhaps he, too, had
felt that way.
