Views and Interviews.

Anton Howell: I was down at
Mccartney Station fishing a couple
of days ago, and | never saw fishing
so poor. The natives down there
seem to take delight in sending up
baloon-like rumors of fine fishing
that haven't any inside to them.
TIE government now licenses seines,
nets and even trot-lines. Anything
but trammel net goes if 1t has a
tag. If the government would put
two or three good men down with
seines to save the lives of the spawn
that die in the sloughs when the
water goes down they would do
more good than all the game
wardens up and down the banks.
Then there would be plenty of fish
ing for every body in year or so.

Good Stationery.

The stationery printed at this
Office last month is giving the best
of satisfaction. Last week we print
ed a thousand statements for a man
and by their aid he collected a small
fortune. Two months ago a man
bought of us some fine paper and
envelopes to use when writing to
his sweetheart and now he is mar
ried. Another young man forged a
name on a check printed at this
Office; he's in the penitentiary.
Another man stole one of our
papers to make cigarettes with; he
is dead. A young lady bought some
of our paper to curl her hair on;
now she has beau. 1--WE have only
few packages of this kind in

Sold Doctored Meats.

Four butchers at Madison were
arrested and heavily fined last
week for selling a chopped meat
compound containing artificial pre-
servatives, contrary to law.
The sulphite substance used by
some of the butchers gives the meat
an extra red and fresh appearance.
1t is used particularly for the
preservation of meats that have
been chopped, and sausagos. Meats
that have been on ice long time
when taken from the ice box de-
compose more rapidly than meats
that have never been on ice. J. G..
Moore, assistant dairy and food
commissioner, who is making the
prosecutions, says that it is the
common practice among some
butchers to sprinkle meats that
have just started to faint with this
matter which Immediately kills the
smell and gives the meat reddish
color. Inc danger is that the de-
composing germs still act in the
meat and it might become almost
putrid and still be red and look
inviting. Ordinary people, he says,
have no way to discover the pres
ence of this substance unless they
leave dish of meat outside of the
ice box for period of time and
notice whether it retains it's red
color. If it does and gives off no
offensive smell it is quite certain
that the meat contains this in
furious substance.
A meat that does not contain
this substance, when left outside
the ice box soon assumes a rather
gray appearance and becomes mad
seating to the smell.

A Corn Story.

Here's corn story that beats 'em
all: A boy out in Little Grant
climbed a cornstalk to see how the
corn was getting along and now the
stalk is growing up faster than the
boy can climb down. He's the only
son of fond parents and they are
nearly beside themselves with
grief over his predicament
The boy was clear out of sight at
last reports and still going up.
Three men have undertaken to cut
the stalk down with axes and save
the boy from starvation, but it
grows so fast that they cant ha tx
twice in the same place. The b. y
is living on nothing but raw corn,
and already has thrown down four
bushels of cObs.

Caught BY Balloon Rope.

Spectators in attendance upon
the carnival at Stoughton Saturday
evening were treated to some
features not on the program and
which were sufficiently exciting to
be interesting Harry Wright made
a balloon ascension about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon but at z he Sc
cured as substitute Walter Denny,
another member of the Chicago
Amusement enterprise. Denny
knew his business and was not to
blame for what occurred. 1t re-
quires about twenty minutes to fill
the balloon. When ready Denny
seated in the trapeze, shouted ''let
CO." Up sailed the balloon and took
a southwesterly direction passing a
few hundred feet above the house
tops. AS it swiftly rose people were
Mortified to see a man, with a foot
caught in a rope, hanging head
downward from the netting and
directly above the parachute. Men
Historically shouted ''come down.
and women and children screamed,
but the aeronaut called out: Catch
hold of the rope, man, and hang
on" which that surprised and
astonished person proceeded to do,
wriggling himself into per-
pendicular position. While prepar-
ing for the performance a great
hole had in some way been torn IN
the balloon, from which the gas
rapidly escaped. 1t passed over the
mill dam and caught in an oak tree
on the west bank, gradually settling
on one side while the parachute
hung on the other, and neither men
were injured. From the .trapeze
there came some warm expressions
to which James Crow, up in tree
top replied that ne couldn't avoid
going along as the rope had got
wound around his ankle. The
danger was greater to the one in
the parachute. Had it been dis
connected Mr.. Denny would have
fallen to the ground and been
crushed, as 300 feet or more Of
space IS required to check the
velocity of its descent.

The circus will be here in few
days. The usual crowd of small
boys, and big boys too, will be Oh
hand to witness the arrival of the
circus trains and watch the unload
ing. When town ostracizes the
circus It's sad day for that town.
When the great public which in
cludes the small boy and the big
ones too, turns its back on the
circus, there is a screw loose some
where. When town gets beyond
considerations for the clowns and
looks bitterly upon the acrobats,
gymnasts and dashing riders in the
rings and pays passing glance to
the elephants, turns mp his nose at
the monkeys and mocks the roar of
the lion, it is really for the finishing
touch. It's lots OF pleasure to go to
circus, there you will see the bal e
headed old fellows sitting with their
grandsons living over their youth
full days. Circus day is big day
and will be observed bp the teeming
thousands. So welcome Gollmar

Royal Roman hippodrome, mi Ii N

BLOOMINGTON NEWS
Gathered by Our HuStling West
Grant Correspondent.

For thirty-nine years have the
public-spir1ted farmers and town
people Of West Grant maintained a
very creditable fair. True, at times
continuous rainy weather and
mountains Of debt made the
management look blue in the face
and forced them to cut down on
expenses all along the line. But
now the society is nearly out of
debt, with a fine new track, built
last year, and many new improve
ments on grounds and buildings.
The premiums in all classes are as
good as those given by any other
fair in this vicinity; and as fol
sport, the following program pub
lished in these last week speaks out
loud to the credit of our forthcom-
