COUNTY FAIR THIS WEEK.
Fine Weather Yesterday. A Great Ball Game
and Exhibits Coming Rapidly.

This is the week of the Winneshiek
County Fair, the annual gathering of
the people of Winneshiek county to
enjoy rest and recreation, visit
with friends and neighbors. an / to see
what has been provided for their
amusement.
The fair opened yesterday after
noon with children's day, and there
We're lots of them there. They had a
big time and went home at night
tired out, but happy.
The main attraction for the after
noon was the base ball game between
Burr Oak and Postville, and it was
dandy. Burr Oak had heard of the
prowess CT the famous first" and
laid plans to "do" them, and they
did. With battery from Caledonia
they came down prepared to put up
the real article, and were mean enough
not to let Postville cross the plate.
The score to 0 tells the story, a
fine, snappy game from beginning to
end, in which both sides played every
minute. Tomorrow DEBORAH and
Calmar will play. Thursday the win
ners of the first two days, and Friday
the losers.
Today will be the big day of the
fair. Hundreds are coming to hear
Senator Tillman, the great South
Carolinian orator, see the races, the
ball game, the balloon ascension and
the many other attractions provided.
Thursday will also be a big day, for
a program has been arranged to amuse
the people from right after dinner
until six O'Clock.
1t is useless for US to attempt to
describe the exhibits, for as we write
they are just being placed. Floral
hall, Agricultural hall and the
machinery exhibits will be extensive
as usual. There is also fine show
ing of hogs, one of the best in
years, and this is equally true Of
cattle.
Everyone should take one or two
days off and come to the fair. All the
money spent by the people of Decor
all and vicinity and the utmost efforts
of the officers to have a good fair
will be useless unless there is large
crowd. Come in and have fine time
meet your friends, and see the fun,
and you will feel better and be better.
DIR. Il. Stabo and wife were plea
sanity surprised Monday evening by a
large circle of friends at the opera
hall, who mad gathered there to SHOW
respect to one who has lived among
us for years. The evening was spent
in social way, and about twelve
O'Clock refreshments of different kinds
were served to all, after which all
repaired to their respective homes.
All report as having very pleasant
time. Mr.. Staabo and wife leave
today for their new home at DEBORAH,

BoYIsH MIND WAS WORKING.
Youngster on His First Sail Over the
"Raging MAN,"

None of us ever quite forget those
days-when our years were few-of
dreaming about life on the raging
main, when the imagination reveled
in pirates and plumber from state
ly galleons and valorous deeds done
on storm-swept decks, says writer
in the New York Times. Recollection
of this period is, at any rate, sufli-
GENTLY vivid, so that the remark of
a small boy could contribute MAG
rally to the "gayety of nations"
among the passengers on one of the
excursion steamers running from
Manhattan across the harbor to
Coney Island.
The steamer made her way across
the bay, lodging tugs and ferryboats
fortunately meeting no pirate craft
The passengers, escaping gladly from
the city's heat, nibbled their sand
witches and enjoyed the breeze. The
walters moved about the deck with
their trays. The boy, just from the
inland town, where his life so far
had been spent, sat rapt and wide
eyed. If one could but know fully
the mental content" from which
sprang his words at last!

which one of 'em is the skipper!"
