Obituary-Mrs. c. w. Knapp.
OUR FRIEND SLEEPETH. .

OUR FRIEND SLEEPETH."
w: For am weary. and am over-wrought,
With too much pain. with too much woe
diStraught
Lay thy soft hand upon my brow and
Cheek.
Oh. peaceful sleep"
Into another of Lancaster's beauti-
full homes has come that silent, in
visible, irresistible, understandable pres
ence whose icy sadness makes ach-
ing hearts.
The relentless waves of the deep,
dark river which separate Time
from the eternal shores has silenced
the mothers voice. A great vacancy
is where the heart of home was.
The chord that binds all other home
ties strongest is severed. The life
beloved has ebbed away into that
mystic sea over whose waters no
sail has ever come back. For her
the curtain between life and death
has been lifted.
She has found the key to the great
mystery.
Mrs. Immogene Walker Knapp
was born July 81, 1871, at North
Boston, Erie Co., N. Y. She was
married to c. w. Knapp, Sept. 49,
1860. A little daughter came te
them and was the JOY of their hearts
for seven and a half months. Their
she went back to live among the
angels. But the sweet memory re
manned fresh in the mother heart
and after the lapse of all these years
she yearned over the tiny grave II
that far eastern state and in hel
dreams could feel again the cling
ing touch of the tiny hands and The
warm nesting of the little form
Her one baby girl oh, the unend
ing, infinite tenderness of a mothers
love, keeping the heart warm ever
unto the end, and does it ever die2
Only one other child, Arthur
came to bless the home. In 1866
the family came to Wisconsin
settling on a farm six miles from
Potosl, where they remained until
1881, when they removed to the city
of Lancaster, where they have since
resided. A lovely home was built
and furnished, the mothers every
wish and desire being complied

Efforts are being put forth to-
ward organizing company for the
purpose of investigating the mineral
resources of the Bailie prairie south
of Lancaster. This land has been
proven to be rich IN mineral, but so
far only primitive methods have
been employed in investigating,
and inability to cope with the sur
face water has discouraged all eff
forts. More improved methods will
be employed this time, and hopes
are running high that the land will
give up treasure that will boom
Lancaster even more than Platte
vile has been doomed. This coun-
try is very much of the character
of that in which the most prolific
mines of Platteville are located
and development may bring forth
even greater yield.

DON'T YOU KNOW
What the Grant County Fair Means
To You and Everyone Else?

Don't you remember what feel
ings were rampant in your youth
full breast when fair-time drew
near? For fifty years the Grant
County Fair has been an epoch
MARKER in the lives of Grant Coun-
ty people-as much so as Christmas
or New Years. The boys on the
farm begin early in the spring get
ting the pet colts and calves ready
for the Fair. The girls sew all
summer on little bits of fancy work
or toast their faces over hot fires
learning to make pies and cakes
Ito take to the Fair" The older
people delve in their gardens and
fields and lavish every possible at
tention upon their fine stock to
make it ready to get the prem
ium.'
And when the time comes every
body goes. For three days the
whole country side takes a vaca-
ton, and all get together for gen.
eral good time. The father of the
family in his .commodious surrey,
the young man with his shining
top-buggy and more resplendent
best girl, and the boy as he sits
besides his father and watches his
big brother spin by-each feels
within his breast futter of excite
ment when the gay pennons, the
Haunting flags, the tent tops, and
the crowds before the entrance come
in sight and the neighing of horses,
the low of cattle and the music of
the bands reach his ears.
For fifty years the Grant County
Fair has been in existence. Each
succeeding year has seen it, rain or
shine, when the sun beat unmerci-
fully down and when the grass was
crisp with frost. The boys that
were valued patrons of the side
show, merry -go-round, ballon men
and lemonade stands at the Fair in
days gone by now stand by the
stalls and pen talking sagely of
breeds and strains and crosses, of
pedigrees and points, and the Grant
County Fair has been by no means
aD unimportant factor in making
them the substantial farmers and
stock producers that they are.
The Grant County Fair will be
held next week for the fiftieth time,
bigger, better than ever. The old
high-wheeled racing carts which
followed German Boy and Com
mander to victory have been sup
planted by more modern racing
sulkies, the old track record has
been broken until it is but tract
ion of It's original self, and the ex-
ponents of all that is modern in rae
ing will be on hand this year. The
booths, shows, clowns, freaks,
novelties, doll babies, cane racks
and the big wild west show will all
be there, and for the greater part of
next week the few acres will be
transformed into carnival of in
structive and interesting amuse-
ments. And will you miss it?

NOT THE TRUTH.
RumOrS AfiOat that Admission Price
to Fair Is Raised Are False

1t has been reported throughout
various portions of the county that
the regular admission price to the
Lancaster fair next week has been
raised to 35c.
The rumors are absolutely with
out foundation. Platteville charged
35c but at Lancaster the prices OF
admission will be the same as ever
before -25c for adults and 15c fol-
children.
Do not be deceived by statements
to the contrary.

You can always tell young
husband from an old one by the
way he acts IN the garden. Three
months married he digs, whistles,
smiles and casts covert chances at
the house as though someone was
looking at him from the window.
One year married he digs, smiles by
turns and seems to be annoyed at
breakfast being SO late. Two years
married he digs little, looks sour
aud glum, kicks the dog or cat, and
looks toward the house as though
he would like to choke somebody.
Three years married he sits on the
doorstep and smokes while his wife
does the digging.
