FIRST AND BEST.
A Meeting of the Mineral Point
Advancement Association Held
in the Interest OF South
western Wisconsin
Fair.
EXCURSION TO FENNIMORE
To Be Largely Attended and All
Our Neighbor Invited to
Attend the Fair.
OTHER IMPORTANT MATTERS,

\ meeting OF the Mineral Point
Advancement association was held on
Monday evening, w, j Penhallegon,
president, presiding. There was n
large attendance and the meeting was
an enthusiastic one.
The President first called on Calvert
Spensley, who responded by saying
he understood the main question to be
discussed was the excursion over the
Mineral Point & Northern to Feuui.
more. He believed every citiveu who
could possibly go to Fennimore
should do so, get better acquainted
along the line, and boom the Mineral
Point Fair.
C. W, McIlhon was afterwards
called on, and stated that the excur-
sion was planned to advertise the
First and Best Fair aud to boom the
city in general. 1t was not money
making scheme on the part of the
managers of the M. p. & N, and If
the company came out even in the
matter, they would be we'll satisfied.
President Penhallegon endorsed
what had been said. and emphasized
the necessity for carrying out the
objects of the association by advanc-
ing the interests of the city in general,
DR.. w. G. Hales, who with other
officers of the Fair association, had
visited places along the line of the
| Mineral Point & Northern, said that
they found everywhere very friendly
feeling towards Mineral Point, and
many people told them that they were
going to attend the big fair this year.
Other members expressed their
views, and all favored the excursion
and booming the fair.
On motion of H. S. We'll, a commit
tee was appointed to have banners
painted to decorate the cars to go to
Fennimore. II. S. We'll, w. H.,
Correll and w. G. Hales were APP
pointed as such committee.
A general discussion in regard to
streets and sidewalks followed. The
question was asked why there has
been no work done on the streets this
year. 1t was the opinion of all pres
ent that more money should be raised
if necessary to provide better streets
and walks. John II. Toay said he
was sorry to say that Mineral Point
was far behind the times in the matter
of good streets. We are not up to
small villages surrounding us. Others
seconded what Mr., Toay had said
and hoped there would be change in
our system of street making.
A most important matter was brought
to the attention of the meeting by Presi'
dent Penhallegon, and that was re-
garding the danger of going over the
tracks at the Mineral Point depot while
cars and engines are almost constant
| ly moving back and forth over the
crossings. The question of having a
hagman for the crossings was consid'
cred, as was also that of changing
streets, so as to avoid the railway
crossings. On motion committee
consisting of T. M. Priestley, James
Brewer and w. Fl. Correll, was ap
pointed to investigate in regard to the
matter and report at the next meeting
of the meeting of the association in
September.

Hon. Thos. j. Wood, editor of

recent visitor in Columbus, has
the following to say about the
city in the last issue of bis paper:
We visited Columbus last week
and was very much gratified to
find our old native home pros
pering on all sides and there
seems to be no stopping. Colum-
bus is now very important city
and is destined to be one Of the
largest within the State. She is

are organized thoroughly and
work harmoniously in concert. It

Yellow Fever News
Practically the Same.
Increase Number Of Cases in
Mississippi But Death
Rate Low.

The news from the yellow fever
infected districts yesterday was
practically the same as has been
for several days except that IN
several Mississippi towns t h g
number of new cases is greater.
Port Gibson was the only new
focus; two cases having devel-
oped there Tuesday. and several
suspicious cases are now under
observation.
A suspicious case was reported
at Hattiesburg but that was de-
clared by the expert, not yellow
fever.
Natchez, Vicksburg, Hamburg
and Gulfport develop several
new cases every day but the
death rate is very light.

EXTENSION FOR
SOUTHERN ROAD.
Itta Bena-BeIzOni Branch to Be Constructed
When Quaraniines Permit.


A JACKSON, special says: The
Southern Railway is now perfect
ing its plans for the construction
of its new branch line from Itta
Bena to Bslzona, distance of
about % miles. The final survey
has been made, orders placed for
the steel rails and grading con-
tracts will be awarded as soon as
the guarantees are raised.
The statement has been made
from official sources that this new
line is only link in the general
plan of the Southern Railway to
establish rail connections between
Jackson and Memphis, and that
work will be pushed southwark
from Belzoni and northward from
Webb within the next year, and
probably sooner. There have
been many evidences lately #
keen rivalry between the South
ern Railway and the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley road for the
control of the Delta trade, and
section of the Delta lying north
of the main line of the Alabama
&c Vicksburg road, between Jack
son and Vicksburg and extending
to the line OF the Southern Rail-
way between Leland and More
head, is one of the largest por-
tions of the State at present with
out railroad facilities.
This section is shaped very
much like the leg of boot, and
is about SO miles in length and
from 20 to 36 miles in width, Fur
thermore, it is one of the most
fertile portions Of the far famed
Delta, and is all lowlands with the
exception of the long chain of
low hills extending from Vicks-
burg to Yazoo City. In order to
avoid this chain of hills the Yazoo
C Mississippi Valley road is plan

WOES OF DANCING MAsTERs.

The professors of dancing are
lamenting the decadence of the
waltz, which they say has be-
come q t art in the United
States. They do not attempt to
explain the lack of interest in
dancing, which has become go
general that men have to be hired
TO serve as partners, but there
are others who have noted the
tendency who say that the Amer
lean has adopted the Turkish idea
and prefers that some one else
should dance for him. The theory
is confirmed by the growing pop
ularity of vaudeville, the chief
feature of which ia the good dane

Chances For Young Men.

Somebody recently wrote to
the railway magnate, James j.
Hill, asking him if there were as
many opportunities for the ad-
vancement of young men Begin
ming life without capital as for
merly says the New Orleans Plea
yune.
Mr.. Hill is stated to have ap-
piled in the affirmative, and to
have declared that h @ r is q
great demand for intelligent, re-
liable, capable and faithful young
men.
Mr.. Hill is entirely right. In
this age of enormous business
operations organized under the
control of great combinations,
corporations n d syndicates,
there is the greatest need for the
right sort of men to operate the
details, as we'll as to superintend
h departments. Sometimes
men without education, com.
mencing at the bottom and work.
ing through the various grades,
rise to the top, but an educated
man with the same energy, deve-
ton and attention to business is
far more likely to get there first.
Fhe greatest fault with our
young men is that they 90 not
know how TO save. They tall in
to extravagant habits and be-
come reckless in spending money
Extravaganza often leads to cost
ly vices and finally to crime.
The young .employe who Sights
his work and thinks only of pay
day is worth but little; so, too,
is he who is only willing to work
in his particular department, and
will not 90 out of it in an emer-
gency to serve the interests OF
his country. The man who is
able to make himself useful in
any branch of the work not only
learns more and becomes more
ualuable, but his value ia going
to be recognized. The t q is
that although the world is full of
men, there are not enough good
and faithful and capable men to
do the worlds work, and the en-
ployer who t il | to recognize
merit among h employees is
blinG to his own interests.
Returning again to the impor-
tauce of saving money, the pos
session of even small sum may
lead to investments of the great
est Importance when the oppor-
tunity arrives. Opportunities
come to all some time, and, more
over, habits of economy are nee
essary to success. The spend
thrift, the speculator n d the
gambler usually come to misfor-
tune which the right minded
man who has proper idea of the
value and use OF money would
not encounter. S m of the
most successful men in the coun-
try have made it a rule from the
very beginning of their careers
to save something from b Q
earnings.
But not the least important
consideration to the young man
who is starting a career, AS to the
older one who succeeded, is to
main tain an honest, upright char
acter, faithful to every trust and
true TO every pledge. Whenever
an employer congratulates him
self that he has got smart fellows
who know how to cheat his GUS
tom ers, he may be sure that these
Gun ming rascals will not hesitate
to cheat him. Honesty is not only
the right principle which should
govern every man, but, as mat
ter of business policy, it is the
best. 1t is worth great deal to
have men around you whom you
can trust in matters of Importance.
