BIG GATHERING OF FARMERS.
A Farmers Good Roads Convention
Called For State air.

The state good roads convention to
be held on the state fair grounds Sept.
II, is very timely thing in view of
the present widespread interest in
good roads. People are awakening to
the fact that there is something radi-
cally wrong with our roads when it
costs the farmer as much to haul his
crops from the farm to town as it costs
the buyer to ship those same crops a
couple hundred miles by rail to the
large markets. While farmers are not
by any means the only ones interested
in better roads, they are the most
directly concerned and it is proper
that they should meet and form an
organization to look after their inter
ests.
Some of the best road experts in the
United States will attend this cOnVen-
ton and a number ,Of prominent far
mers will be on the program. The
Geological Survey, the Governor, and
the State Board of Agriculture will
appoint delegates on nomination of
the town chairman. The State GeolOgi-
cal Survey is going to build short
stretch of model road on the fair
grounds.

Injured at KiIbourn Some Days Ago
BY Serious Fall.

DR.. G.. w. Jenkins of Kilbourn who
suffered serious internal injuries from
a fall several days ago is reported as
gaining, and prospects for his recovery
are good.
1t seems that last week he was stand
on the sidewalk adjoining the new
Stroud bank building, around which
there was quantity of building ma
terial. AS he was viewing the new
structure some ladies came along the
walk. The doctor stepped back to let
them pass and in doingso fell from the
walk into 7-foot basement which was
filled with pieces of stone and posts.
Mr.. Jenkins was carried to his home
and was soon after up and on his feet
again, but Monday grew worse. On
account of his extreme age and the
nature of the injuries it was thought
for time that the consequences would
be fatal. Late reports however con-
firm the hope that he will recover.
DR.. Jenkins is 81 years Of age and
has practiced medicine in Kilbourn
since 1851 and has always been a very
popular and capable physician

GREAT EVENT At
SAUK CO. FAIR
MOST SPECTACULARGYMNASTlC
PERFORMANCE EVER-EXHlBiT-
ED WILL TAKE PLACE.
FIRST REGIMENT BAND TO PLAY
Purses Amounting To $4,000 And
Premiums To The Amount Of
$25OO To Be Paid.

The Sauk county fair, the catalogs
for which will be out in the course of a
week, promises some unique features
and novel entertainments this year.
1t will open September "A at Baraboo
and will last for four days, during
which time S2500 will be distributed
as premiums and $4,000 in purses.
Probably the most spectacular gym
nastic performance ever exhibited will
take place every day Of the fair, hav-
ing been secured with much difficulty
and no little cost. That is the spiral
tower event in which the performer
rolls himself up spiral tower 10 feet
high, while standing on a ball 20 inches
in diameter. When he arrives at the
top he stands on his head on the ball
after which he gradually rolls down
the spiral again. He will invite all
young ladies present to hold baskets,
any and all kinds, and stand around
to catch him if he should fall. This
exhibition is worth alone many times
the cost of admission and will be a
rare treat to those attending the fair.
Another feature with which all are
familiar, but of which none seem to
tire, is the First Regiment band which
will play all day Thursday of the fair.
Other bands from the county will be
present to furnish music the rest of the
time. Base ball games will be played
every day of the fair. These together
with the regular agricultural and
otherwise exhibits, and the other very
numerous features, promise one of the
most interesting fairs in this part of
the state.
