ONE HUNDRED AND
TWO YEARS OLD
MRS. della WAINWRIGHT CELE-
DRAFTED HER BIRTHDAY AN
NIVERSARY FRIDAY.
Has Lived in two Centuries and
" itneSSed Wonderful Changes.
Reads Much and Takes an Inter-
est in Current Events. Health
Good.

Mrs. Della Wainright celebrated
her one hundred and second birthday
anniversary last Friday, September
20. Born at the very dawn of the
last century, she has lived to be fam
liar with the history of this country,
Including the war of 1912, the war
with Mexico, the Civil war ana .our re-
cent conflict with Spain. She has
seen the country developed from a
sparsely populated territory with
few organized states into a rich and
populous country. She has witnessed
the coming of palatial steamship which
oftimes required months for trip fine
ly equipped railroads, the telephone
communication and the flag dotted with
stars indicating the admission of new
states and all integral parts of the one
grand union or confedeacy.
One can hardly realize the wonder
fnl, yea marvellous changes that she
has witnessed during her life spanning
over into two century pregnant with
stirring and exciting events, resulting
in the great good of the eighty mil
lions of souls now enjoying the bene-
fits of liberty and the priceless boon
of being an American citizen.
Mrs. wainwright still retains all of
her faculties. and if it was not for
deafness, would be in the enjoyment
of all that makes life pleasant except
the weakness incident to old age. She
is still interested in current events and
we'll posted as to what is transpiring
at home and abroad.

Better Service Demanded.

BROTHER P. H. SWIFT of the Water
town Republican in his last issue won
ders why Watertown is not given the
prominence in the railroad time tables
to which it is entitled, and takes a shot
at the railroad companies. We should
like to join with him in a campaign
for an improvement in the service at
the Junction. There is no such thing
as service" rendered here, and if
there is any reason for the exasperat-
ing situation wehave hever had it ex-
planned.
The Fond du Lac and Janesville
trains which do not make connections
at either end of the line are so timed as
to prevent any connection with the St.
Paul passenger trains. One wishing to
GO north in the morning finds that the
train for Fond du Lac has left forty
minutes befone the St. Paul train gets
in. Coming south in the evening he
reaches the Junction twenty minutes
after the Madison train has departed,
making it necessary to spend fourteen
hours before he can get train west.
That the canse is nothing but pnre
deviltry may be seen at Burnett juno
tiOn in the evening, when the North
western train leaves one minute before
the st. Paul passenger pulls in. and
gets out in a special hurry if the St.
Paul train is near at hand. A study of
the time tables shows that neither road
has any reason for trying to dodge the
other, for neither train makes impor-
tant connections at eitheI end OF the
run that could not be made an hour
later or earlier as the case may be.

JEFFERSON
COUNTY FAIR
1T WAS A r1ARKED SUCCESS,

ATTENDANCE LARGE.

Ball Games Spirited, the At

The fair held at jefferson last week
was success as to exhibits and financ-

estimated that at least 10000 were in
attendance and ou Thursday their was

fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, broth
ers sisters ard cousins for miles around
being on hand to swell the crowd
Watertown sending a large contingent,
which the jefferson people should not
forget and reciprocate when they have
opportunity.
The exhibits in the art building
were verv good and attracted much
attention especially from the lady
visitors who crowded the building dur
ing the day passing judgment upon
the various articles on exhibition.
There was large collection of preserved
fruits which the good housewives had
brought for comparison with those OF
the other exhibitors with the hope of
securing premiums.
There were large number of
horses, cattle sheep swine, poultry and
doves on exhibition, some of the finest
the writer ever saw and demonstrated
the possibilities of jefferson county
in all the lines mentioned, in which
there is mine Of wealth for the farm
err. The grain and vegetable display
was not as large as in some of the
counties in the state for the reason
that this county is largely given to
dairying which has proven more re
munera i've than grain raising.
The races, especially Thursday were
very good, but the day being exces-
sively hot it was cruel in the extreme
to force the poor animals to their linn

$4,000 dying on the track from exhaus-

While on the grounds, the Republi-
can man called at the ticket Office and
found Frank Kispert sitting in pool
of sweat counting money. and so busy
that he could only say, tell the public
that it beats 'em all and that there is
any where from 10000 to so, 900 peo-
on the grounds, and from the pile of
gilt he saw, he was willing to believe
half of it and give Frank credit for the
balance.
