OF acrobats who performed at their
TAR and will be one Of the numerous
special attractions of the county

Okabe Japanese troupe far DER
Swallowed the others classed under
the head of special attra ctions.
! They won the admiration Of all IN
their wonderful feats of balancing,

The number Of drowning &C
cldents has been unusually large IN
this country this season. The list
already stands at something lil 9

season is over it is safe to say it will
exceed 500. OF course many Of the

Out of the fullness Of its ex-
perience an exchange gives the fol-
lowing advice to patrons of print
ing offices. When you want good
job Of printing done just take your
copy to printer and tell him to do
good Job, and he will. If you
think you know more. about the
business than he does and select
your paper and instruct him what
type to use and all the little de-
tails, you Will get a botch job. A
printer working under instructions
from one who knows nothing about
the business, no matter If he is an
expert, cannot get out neat job.

The open season for hunting
, small game in Wisconsin opened
Saturday and hundreds Of hunters
shOuldered their guns and took a
tramp to the woods to shoot and be
shot at. That the best hunter is
not protected from the bullets from
the gun OF the reckless amateur is
the worst feature of the season, and
a great many fatalities occur each
year. Already there have been
deaths and accidents and more will
occur as soon as more men and boys
enter the woods The hunter should
remem' er the danger of mistaking
a man moving in the brush for
game and should withhold his
charge until assurance becomes a
certainty. He may lose some game
by this method, but he will save
, himself lasting remorse and some
! others much pain and suffering.
