Nh and Tuck.

No year in the past, at this or any
other fair in Southwestern Wisconsin,
have there been such nip and tuck, ex-
citing ball games as the three played
here during the fair last week. The
first game, that On Wednesday, be-
tween Dodgeyille and Linden, required
twelve innings to decide. Dodgeville
won, s to 4. Second game, on Thurs
day, Darlington VS.. MontHort, was cali
ed off after five innings had been play
ed, on account of rain, the score
standing A to 3 in favor of Montfort.
Fridays game between Highland and
Mineral Point was dandy. Spectators
were numerous and all on tiptoe. High
land won, but not until the last man
was out; score 2 to !, all three runs
being secured through errors.

That Caiena Game.

tested with the local team in this city
Tuesday afternoon. Galena onquered,
after hard struggle, mainly through
nervousness of their opponents. This is
evinced by the error column and the
fact that there were no earned runs.
Knight was effective in the box as us

batters would raise high in the air be-

Grand Lesd sns zinc orr Display

About three weeks before the open
ing of the Mineral Point Fair the direc-
tors sent out request to the several
mine owners of this district to bring
samples Of their ore to the fair, so that
all visitors would have an opportunity
to witness the product of our far famed
ore district.
The result was wonderful, and far
surpassed the expectations Of the most
sanguine. Although the association Of
fered no premium for such display, fif-
teen companies responded and showed
the public one of the finest ore displays
ever witnessed in southwestern Wis
consin. This was not display Of what
are usually called ore specimens, con-
sisting eff selected cubes and fossils. but
was the general and natural product Of
our mines. Solid sheets of ore were
displayed, varying from four to twenty
inches in thickness, and some Of them
weighing from six to eight hundred
pounds, and disseminated ore from one
to four feet in thickness. One of the
mines ep-esented showed a natural
formation OF cube lead, which was the
admiration of every beholder. Some Of
the pieces weighing from twenty to
twenty-five pounds, contained hundreds
of cubes Of artistic design which would
tax any artist to reproduce, and which
are placed at value of twenty dollars
each. 1t was estimated that about ten
tons of ore were on exhibition.
The following are the names of the
mines represented: John Ross, Liver
pool, Homesite, Lilly. Merry Xmas,
Hazel Patch, Peacock, Hoare, Temby,
Chief Of Police, Great Eastern, Parmley
4 Willis, Rabbit Foot and Lucky Seven.
The first five named are located within
the limits Of the city Of Mineral poinc
and as many more within mile of the
city. :
1t was the general opinion that this
display would be credit to the district
and an honor to our State fair, 50 let US
get together and sent It to Milwaukee.
The party in charge Of the display re-
cehed many compliments and the As
socis;ion is very thankful to the mine

HELD IN MINERAL POINT
LAST WEEK.

It's motto, First and Best" wa.
well maintained by the fair society oil
this city last week. OF the many mer.
itorious and successful annual exhibi.
lions which have been held in Minera
Point during the past thirty seven
years, not one has proven superior, all
features considered, to that of 1906.
In all stock departments were as fine
exhibits as will be seen anywhere this
year. The Improvement in horses, cat
tie, sheep, swine and poultry is simply
wonderful as here shown.
The display of the thousand and one
things in the fair house made that place
a wonderland. There could be seen
paintings, drawings, etc., that captured
the praise and admiration of old and
young. The same is strictly true of the
displays made in the household and do
mestic and culinary departments. Here
the ladies fingered regardless of time,
there being so much to see and some
thing to learn.
House plants and flowers were in
abundance and beautiful to behold,
while their sweet fragrance permeated
all quarters of the building.
1t was little early for fruit, yet the
display was creditable, one display be-
ing that of ripe peaches grown at the
home of Mr.. Geo. kirkpatrick in this
city. A half bushel was gathered from
carefully cultivated tree.
In the eastern wing of the building
were grain and vegetables. grand in
deed, proving that this has been an ex-
ceptionally good year for such products.
In this department, as in all others, the
Judge found it difficult to decide on the
best out of half dozen or more.
Much interest was taken by Fair Wis
itors in the butter, cheese and honey
division. Here it was clearly demon
strated that this is rich dairy section
and that those engaged therein are in
telligent and breast of the times. w.
E. Prisk's exhibit of honey in the vari-
Gus forms, together with his working
bees, was excellent, maintaining the
great reputation gained at the state
fair last year.
Another splendid and entertaining de-
partment was the magnificent displays
made by different merchants of this
city, as follows:
LAS. Brewer, Groceries.
Toay Grocery Co., Groceries, China.
w. j. Penhallegon, Dry Goods, Furs.
J. P. Frieden, Shoes.
J. Gorgen & Sons, Meats.
S. Jenkin, Hardware.
J. J. Penhallegon & Co., Plumbing.
Amy Masten, Millinery.
Miller & Dancey, Furniture.
J. c. Martin & Co., Stock Food, etc.
An entirely new feature was the ex-
hibit Of ores taken from mines in this
vicinity. This created special attention
and discussion. Particulars concerning
same are given in another column.

Tariff Posers for "UncIe Joe."

Kansas City Star: The people of
Missouri know now that the agricul-
tural prosperity of their state is due
entirely to the protective tariff. They
know this because Speaker Cannon
said so in his Kansas City speech. But
what they do not understand is why
the blessings of the republican stand
pat doctrine have worked so unequally
in the several counties. What the Mis-
souri, farmers would like to know is
why the protective tariff has brought
bountiful harveStS to the rich alluvial
counties along the Missouri river and
to those of the midland prairies, while
it has done little or nothing for the
rocky, billy counties of the OzarkS. A
point which adds to the confusin is
that the rich counties of good crops
are almost all democratic, while the
poor counties that cannot raise any
thing better than Ben Davis apples are
almost without exception republican
If there had to be discrimination, it
would seem that the republicans would
be the beneficiaries.
OF course, before Mr.. Cannon made
his speech in Kansas City it would
have been argued that the rich alluvial
farms produced good crops just because
they were fertile, and the mountainous
counties were distinguished for nothing
in particular-nOt even, in many in
stances, for Ben Davis apples-for the
very reason that they were hilly and
rocky But Uncle Joe" says that the
tariff makes the farmers prosperous,
and so, since soil and rain and sun and
climate have nothing to do with it, the
problem must remain forever unsolved
unless it is explained as being an
other instance of the way the protec-
tive policy confers benefits on some
and imposes burdens ON others.

Pensions Remain Stationary.

The chief fact regarding the national
pension roll, discussed in the annual
report of Commissioner Warner, is that,
although there has been decrease of
more than 10000 in the number of actu-
al pensioners in the past fiscal year, the
payments required remain virtually at
the same figure.
The million mark, after having been
passed, is now receded from. More than
$4,000 pensioners died in the II months
ending with June so, and the removals
from other causes made total diminu-
ton of 47,444. This was partially coun-
terbalanced by the addition of prac-
tically $4,000 names, of which 1860
were new. Thus convincing evidence
of the durability OF the Est is again af-
forded- Comparatively unimportant,
from historical standpoint as was the
fighting in the Spanish war, one of the

Gabriel D'Annunzio has erected a
monument over the grave of his dog.
The inscription on it is a lengthy one,
beginning with the words, Sacred TO

est and most faithful friend" The dog
was killed by a peasant some months
ago. The novelist prosecuted the man,
who at trial in Florence, said that he
killed the dog because it worried his
hens. The author had engaged the
services of two notable counselors at
an expense of $1,000 to prosecute. He
won. and the peasant was sentenced to
10 days Imprisonment.

results of that conflict is sure to be the
granting of numerous pensions.
In view of the relatively steady main
ltenance of expenditures, it is necessary
to take into account the effort of Order
rs, issued by President Roosevelt. max
ing the attainment of specified age by
civil war veterans presumptive proof of
lpensionable disability. Under this clause
%, 62S claims were allowed last year.
The country is not inclined to protest
against this, for the prevailing feeling
is that the old soldiers should be gen.
erously dealt with. But it is well that
the facts should be thoroughly under
stood. The fallacy of the theory that
pension payments are likely to dwindle
to a small amount within the next few
years is sufficiently revealed by the Of
fetal statistics. There are still four
pensions paid on account of the revo-
luton and upwards of II, 900 pensions
are regularly transmitted to survivors
of the little Mexican war and their
