A New Mining Machine.

One of the most interesting of the
new features connected with the
Platteville Lead and Zinc district a
the porta BILE compressor and pros
pect rig being constructed by the
Galena Iron Works company for w.
A. Jones and associates of Mineral
Point. With this outfit it is possible
to do away with hand labor in sink
ing shafts and prospecting without
going to the expense of laying
foundations for machinery, etc,
it simply being necessary to draw
the rig to the place at which it is
intended to sink the shaft and go
to work. The new steamer ham
mer which was recently installed
at the Iron Works, has proved to
be quite a boon to the drill owners
in the Platteville and Lead and
Zinc district. The saying in time
in obtaining new work and of hav-
ing repair work done without send
ing it away and being subject to
the delays in shipment is of inestim-
able value to them.

To Face a Second Charge.

Fred Noble, who is serving sent
ence of ninety days in the county
jail for carrying concealed weapons
will have to face a charge Of bur-
glary when he is released on Oct.
81. Marshal Lindner has strong
case against him. The guns which
he carried were today identified by
CITY Clerk Evans as the ones stolen
from his residence some time ago.
One being a revolver taken from
the notorious bank robbers captur-
ed by number of farmers in a
school house near Steuben two years
ago, and the other one he had
purchased from a local officer.
The sheriff and marshal believe
he is one of gang of robbers and a
guard will be placed at the Jail to
prevent possible escape.

The Only Difference.

Tennyson and Longfellow could
take a worthless sheet of paper,
write a poem on it and make it
worth $65, 000-that's genius. Rock
Teller can write a few words on a
sheet of paper and make it worth
$5,0O0.000 that's capital. The Unit
Ell States can take an ounce and a
quarter of gold and stamp on it an
'eagle bird" and make it worth 500
that's money. A mechanic can
take raw material worth S. and
make it into watch springs worth
$100O-that's skill. A woman can
purchase Is cent hat, but prefers
one that costs $27-that's foolish
ness. A ditch digger works ten
hours a day and handles several
tons of earth for 25-that's labor.
The printer Of this can write a check
for 800, 900 but it wouldn't be worth
a dime that's rough. When a man
does his trading, he wants to do it
in Lancaster that's Good Common
Sense.

Good tor Goose and Gander.

When the question of trading at
home instead of with the mail order
house of the large city is boiled
to it's real substance we find that if
the home community is to survive
the boiling process it will be be-
cause what the merchant advise S
the consumer to do he does him
self. In other words if the con-
sumner buys at home the merchant
must do likewise. At present there
is much agitation IN Wisconsin for
the consumption of Wisconsin made
goods. Ii the merchant buys goods
made near home he is helping sup
port that many more laborers near
home to make a market for the
farmers produce. Then IN turn
the merchant can buy Of the former
because he has market for the
produce. And the farmer will buy
of the merchant because he can sell
him what he raises. Out OF the
agitation started by the retailers to
get the people to buy their supplies
at home has resulted an awakening
among the retailers themselves
that they must do likewise and use
home made goods. Lancaster peo-
pie and The people of the surround
ing territory can help the manu-
featuring and productive interest Of
this community by using their pro-
ducts.

Yesterday was the first circus
day of the season in Davenport and
the streets of the city during the
morning were crowded by the
many residents of the city and out
side visitors who came in to see
the parade which was very at
tractive, being composed of open
dens of wild beasts, beautiful circus
wagons, horseback riders, Shetland
ponies, camels, dromedaries and
stately elephants, not forgetting
the steam calliope, which is present
IN every first class street parade.
The parade was pleasing to every
body from the small street urchin
to his more sedate elderly parent.
In the afternoon the entire popula-
ton of the city seemed to travel
toward the canvass city and the
big tent was GRAINED to it's full
capacity at both performances. The
show was fine. There were curbed
or wooden rings and elevated stages.
Everything about the show looked
bright and wholesome. The mena-
gerie proved big attraction, the
principal features Of which are the
Vlack Vark from Africa and only
living hippopotamus from the
River Nile. Althogether circus day
was voted grand success. Gollmar
Bros. pride themselves on keeping
their show entirely free from faklrs
and gamblers. Democrat and Lead

lin AUGUST,

In this day of government crop
statistics with leak into the
pockets Of the grafters it is refresh
ing to get hold of weather and
crop forecast that can be depended
upon. We give space therefore to
the following from the pen OF
{ harles Bliss of Hillboro Illinois
who has for years written month
ly forecast that is warranted to be
leakless:
The summer days go swiftly by.
the busy bee and festive fly improve
the shining hours each day and
spend but little time in play. ct he
bee puts honey in its hive, the ants
and other insects thrive, the locust
sounds it's strident gong, the crickets
sing their merry song. At night the
gentle summer breeze in whispered
converse with the trees, awakes the
katydids and they dispute until the
break of day. The whip-poor-will
down IN the glen repeats its
querulous refrain, and on the moon
lit air is heard the sweet song of
the hooking bird.
The corn lifts up its regal head
above the pumpkins lowly bed,
and all the rustling tassels sing I'M
to the world that corn is king. The
lusty blades defy their foes and
clash across the narrow rows, but
through the fence the cow and calf
peer eagerly and gaily laugh, fer
we'll they know that autumn's cold
will turn the green leaves into
gold, and ere there comes another
spring they'll eat this proud and
boastful king" The thought of
such royal diet will make the
pumpkin vines run riotl
In August when the skies are
fair and heat and dust are in the
air, it's nice to seek some shady
nook with pipe, tobacco and book,
and read and smoke and loaf and
doze, and let the flies crawl up your
nose, or rest down in some shady
dell where the mosquitoes bite like
blazes! It's nice to take your hook
and line, and then pretend the
fishing's fine, and down beside
some forest stream, lie lazily and
rest and dream. This lying by
some stream, you'll find, is 4of a
safe and harmless kind beside the
lying you will hatch about the fish
you didn't catch?
In August succotash is ripe, and
apples give the boys the grippe,
young chickens simmer IN the pot,
they brown best when the grease is
hot. | fain would leave the city's
dim and visit with my country kin,
where scores of chickens can be
found that don't cost fourteen cents
a pound! | fain would leave the
town and go where corn and beans
and chickens grow, where water
melons on the vine in emeraldic

BANANA PRICES Up.
Yellow Fever Causes Delay in Get
ting Fruit; Prices Higher.

The effects of yellow fever in the
south are being felt in this vicinity.
The quarantine at New Orleans has
prevented the landing of large ship
ments of green bananas and the
fruit is beginning to be scarce in
the northwest. With the decrease
in the supply the price is taking an
upward soar. Scores of heavily
loaded ships from Central and
South America are idly lying off
the coast of Luisiana, with big con-
signments of bananas rotting in
their hulls. The quarantine is
r1gidly enforced by the government
authorities. AS reports indicate,
the fever will not be eradicated
until the first frost makes it's ap-
pearance in Louisiana. This means
that no bananas or other tropical
fruit will be shipped into the
United States until winter makes
it's debut. It will take about two
weeks to exhaust the entire supply
of bananas in the United States. A
marked tendency to discourage the
purchase of bananas has been not
iced about the retail markets the
past few days, although some of
the merchants claim that they will
refrain from taking advantage of
the coming banana famine and will
sell to the public at the usual price
as long as the supply of fruit lasts.

Wisconsin will have an I'M
usually large crop of cranberries il
they succeed in escaping early
frosts. The growers say the CROP
looks unusually fine this year and
the indications are for a big yield.
The total yield of cranberries in the
country is more than 1,OOO,OO
bushels yearly and the value is
about $1.25 a bushel on the marsh.
Massachusetts, produces 80 per cent,
and New Jersey nearly Is per cent.
The total acreage is more than 90.

beauty shine, where harvest apples
one can see like globes of gold upon
the tree, and where the cows, if
they are wise, stand in the pond to
fight the flies!
| do not care to shoot the chutes
or rubber at the bathing suits, or
rather where the suits should be to
hide ones bare anatomy. I do not
care to go abroad, to me the old
world IS a fraud. I want to go
where there's more room, out where
the yellow pumpkins bloom, where
corn fields wide reflect their sheen
and billow like a sea of green; out
where the quails protect their hatch
and hide them in the brier patch
and where the rabbits scurry hence
and chipmunks run along the fence,
and in the straw stacks and tight
the crickets chirrup all the night.
/ care not for the swell resorts,
the sea, with its aquatic sports, the
northern lakes where anglers throng
for wall-eyed perch and muskal-
longe. I care not for the mountain
haunts, they fail to satisfy my
wants. AS for the Springs, they
tempt me not; their healing waters,
cold or hot, will never have the
wholesome charm found in the
spring out on the farm. Then let
me on it's messy brink stretch out
full length and drink and drink,

In August nineteen hundred five
John Rockefeller still will thrive.
Just watch the bald old vulture foil
his foes and corner linseed oil! OBJ
serve him as he upward sends the
price and takes his dividends! The
packers too, will operate just as
they have for years of late. They'll
send the price Of hogs up higher or
lower still as they desire. The
grafters will not cease to graft or
thrive by artifice and craft and
politicians still will steal and when
they're caught they'll still appeal,
while in Missouri SO they say the
lid is down but will not stay.
August will be dry and hot I'm
pretty sure, but If it's not it may be
wet and cool, you see, or both, just
as the case may be. The moon will
full the fourteenth day, but reader
don't you get that way. A slight
eclipse on that same date can first
be seen that night at eight. On
August thirtieth, | hear, the sun
will wholly disappear just as it
rises in the morn and peeps above
the waving corn The month will
close the same old way unless
things bust before that day. I'd
tell lots more if | had time, then
too. I've run clear out of rhyme.
