Story-telers are born and not made. It is possible for a writer to progress and improve but no one can tell a story like "Markhelm" unless he has been favored at birth. P c.

WORLDS FAIR OF 1904.

The Exposition Transportation com
pany, of St. Paul, have appointed
Capt. e. C. Anthony, an old.time and
well-known Mississippi river steam
boatman, their general manager, and
p. D. Chandler general passenger
agent. Mr.. Chandler has been identi-
fed with shipping interests on the great
lakes for some time. The insignia,
Take your hotel with you" signifies
the nature of the company's project,
which in addition to operating line
of palatial steamboats, on the Missis-
sippi next summer. contemplates the
care of its patrons during their So
iourn in st. Louis by docking their
boats near the fair grounds for sew
eral days. The people Of the North
west generally know that the ideal way
to travei to ST. Louis is via the grand
and picturesque " Father Of Waters, ;"
and when there is added the advantage
of securing their hotel accommoda-
tions prior to their departure, it would
appear the new company will have
more applicants than they can accom-

DAIRY BOARD OF TRADE.

As will be seen by a call for a meet
ing, printed elsewhere in this paper, n
Dairy Board of Trade is to be organ
ized in Mineral Point. 1t Will be COM
posed of the patrons of the various
cheese factories of this section and
others interested in the dairy busi-
ness. Since the Mineral Point Board
of Trade went out of existence matters
have not been satisfactory TO the sell
ers of cheese in this vicinity, and the
present movement to organize a Dairy
Board of Trade is timely. The under
taking can be made success by a
union of effort on the part of those
specially interested. Southwest Wis
consin is naturally adapted to stock
raising and dairying. These indus
tries have made marvellous progress
here during the last few years, Any
thing that will further these industries
should receive prompt and hearty
support from the people of Mineral
Point and surrounding country. To
sell protitably cheese must be shipped
to Chicago and other large cities in
carload lots, hence the necessity for
organization on the part of sellers.
The factories in this vicinity manufac-
ture sufficient quantities of cheese to
guarantee the shipment from the start
of carload each week from this

A call is issued for a meeting of the
citizens of Mineral Point for the pur-
pose of organizing an association
whose special object will be. to advance
the material interests of our city. The
sentiment is general that we ought to
have an organization empowered by
the citizens to act in their behalf in
the encouragement of enterprises which
will tend to the upbuilding of the com
munity. We believe that Mineral
Point is about to take on new life, and
the prospects are that in the near fu-
ture the city will have railroad con-
Meeting us with the villages of Linden,
Highland and other western points.
Organized effort resulted some years
ago in the establishment of the Min
eral Point Zinc works, now one of the
great manufacturing plants of the
West. The lesson should be needed
and every possible effort put forth to
secure advancement in the future.
Mineral Point is the leading city of
Southwest Wisconsin. The surround
ing country is rich in agricultural and
mineral wealth, and the city will in
crease as a trade center if wise course
is pursued by our citizens. Let us
meet and organize for work. Let an
association be formed. with active
business men for officers. Remember

whether It is picked or not. Last night n
wagon loaded with negroes was driven
10 within short distance OF Mr.. Ben
nctt.s home. The negroes dismounted
and fired several volleys at the house.
The shots were returned by those in the
