B. Carretto, in speaking Of the pro, posed bond issue, said:
 T am very much in favor of a sew. craze system for Bisbee. but am not m favor of any extra tax being laid on the people for that purpose My req son is that do not believe that a sew. CT could be installed that would be ac. | ceptable to all parts of town It would not be such a bad matter for a sewer to be put ir Tombstone canyon, Brew cry Gulch and on o. K street, but when 1t comes to putthy it in accept ably on the hills it would be a very different matter.
 T am nfavor of private ownership. One reason is because I don't believe the council could legally raise the tax able value of property, and another reason is that the tax rate is high enough al present
 q believe, however. that a good closed sewer would kill off disease to a great extent. The only thing I would suggest. if the sewer were not installed by the city, would be that a private company should build a sewer. and that they should charge a certain rate for tapping it, and a moderate monthly fee for it's use.

PROFITS OF FAIR ABOUT $4,000.
State Board of Agriculture Holds Ses-
sion at Beaver Dam.

All the members of the state board
Of agriculture were in attendance at
the meeting held at Beaver Dam with
the exception of George Klein Of Fort
Atkinson and L. E. Scott of Stanley.
The board went into session at the Of
fee of Secretary Harvey, and during
the forenoon audited bills and re-
ceived reports from department heads.
The most important work OF the
board was the authorization of the
building of a new bridge on the main
drive leading to the main entrance.
This work was found to be necessary.
The board also took steps to hasten
the completion of the amphitheater.
The matter of unpaid premiums was
also considered, but figuring the out
standing indebtedness, Secretary True
estimates that the profits of this sea
sons fair will reach $4,000 approx
mately.
Secretary True was instructed to
draw up resolutions of thanks and ap-
probation of the work of the Miwau-
kee press, the Merchants and Manu-.
facturers' association, the Citizens
Business league, and the advisory
committee for their cooperation and
efforts in making the fair a success.
The board also decided to appropriate
$500 to extend the water mains from
West Allis to the fair grounds pro-
vided eight-inch mains were used. Gold
medals were voted to Miss Blanche
Cook of Oconto, Miss Georgia Maxon
of West Bend, Miss Leta Zero of Pine
River and Miss Emma Huehlstedt of
Menasha for their work in the relay
running race.

NEWS OF THE STATE.
RECORD BROKEN AT BEAVER DAM
No Such Crowd in One Day Before In
Eiqhteen Years.

No Such Crowd in One Day Before In
Eighteen Years.
In the eighteen years of the exis-
tence of the present Dodge County
Fair association Thursdays attend
ance, as claimed by the officers, ex-
ceeds by many thousands any previous
record.
AS a record day it is estimated by
Secretary Harvey that there were be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 admissions to
the grounds, and while this may ap-
pear large, the crowd completely filled
the grounds around the stand and ev-
cry available space where the track
events could be witnessed. The in
terest here is remarkable and is
shared not alone by the citizens of
Beaver Dam, but as deep an interest
is manifested by the business men OF
other towns and cities of the county
as well as the farmers generally.
juneau, MayYille, WATERFOWL, Wau-
pun, Hartford, Horizon, sent big dele
cations, and practically all the towns
of Columbia, Washington and Fond du
Lac counties had their representation
on the grounds. AS the one big Dodge
county event of the year, in which
business men and farmers join, the
fair this year was distinctly success
full.
For some reason not explained there
was a conflict in the dates between
the Beaver Dam and the Jefferson
fair. This was the first conflict in the
history of the two associations, and it
was believed the arrangement would
work disadvantageously to both asso-
Citations. The crowd at Beaver Dam
and the one at Jefferson shows that
two fairs having a drawing capacity
in a limited geographical area far in
excess Of any one days attendance
at the state fair.
Distinctively the Dodge county fair,
in the quality and arrangement of it's
exhibits, the care taken to properly
display the excellent showing made in
the various departments, is in advance
of any other held in the state, whether
district, county or state. System is
used and the superintendent of the
various departments are entitled to
highest commentator for their work.

Murdered With a Hammer.

The jury in the Smart murder case
at Ashland acquitted John Smith, but
found his wife, Charlotte, guilty of
manslaughter in the second degree,
the penalty for which is from four to
seven years in states prison.
The evidence plainly showed that
Tom Smart was killed by repeated
blows on the head, struck by Charlotte
Smart with hammer. There was
no generalization. The killing was the
outcome of a drunken quarrel over
trivial matters. The quarrel origina-
ted in a suggestion by Charlotte that
she and another woman go to a road
house, which excited the wrath of
Tom. All the persons concerned were
Indians living on the Odanah reserva-
ton.
