WHISTLE FOR The FAIR.

Every kid in town has been blow
ing wooden whistle since yesterday
morning. The source of supply was at
M. H. Duncan's harness shop. He
secured lot numbering 800 as an adj
vertisement for the fair and then gave
out the information that the whistles
would be ready for distribution Mon
day morning. The word was passed
from one youngster TO another and soon
the news spread to the most remote
parts of the city. When the shop was
opened up yesterday morning at seven
O'Clock string of forty-two boys were
in line waiting for whistles. From that
time until the supper hour it kept one
man busy handing out whistles. Some
of the little fellows tried to work graft
game by coming back second time,
thinking no doubt that where there
were so many kids their faces could not
be remembered. Each whistle had a
piece of blue paper pasted on it bearing
the words 81 whistle for the Marathon
county fair" You can depend upon it
that every one of the whistlrrs will be
al the fair. This idea of the secretary's
will no doubt prove II good advertise
ment. The giving of these whistles was
not confined to boys alone, but every
girl who called at the shop, and there
were many of them, was given whistle.

TO MANUFACTURE POSTS

F. A. Hecker, manager of the Con-
crete Block Il Supply Co., has recently
returned from a trip covering the
southern part of the state and in the
interests of his company. He states
that the cement block industry has
gained very firm footing in all the
southern counties of the state and that
many large residences and factory
buildings are being erected from this
product
In Milwaukee there is large auto
mobile factory being erected exclusively
of concrete block construction, the
dimensions of which are 100 feet long,
Log feet wide and two stories high, and
the blocks of which were made from
the same hydraulic two piece system
which the company are furnishing
from their factory in this city.
In Waukesha there is being erected
large concrete block residence occupy
ing two entire city lots and modelled
after the style of some of the old Spanish
buildings in Mexico. The owner of the
building having taken an architect from
the north and made trip to Mexico for
the express purpose of studying the
building which he had in mind. This
residence is also made from the two
piece hydraulic system blocks.
At GAINESVILLE, Wis, there is an
establishment for the manufacture of
cement fence posts, corner posts, r. r..
mile posts and everything in the post
line even down to markers for ceme-
teries. The factory in which these
posts are made is solid brick con-
struction, about $50 feet long, 200 feet
wide and representing an outlay of
about $4,000 and the capacity is 5000
posts per day.
These posts have been shipped to the
states of Maine and California and our
promising candidate for the next demo-
cratic nomination for president, Will
lam j. Bryan, recently purchased car
load for his Nebraska farm.
The Concrete Block Il Supply Co.,
will also enter into the manufacture of
concrete posts next year. They seemed
very well pleased over the outlook of
the concrete block business in this state
and if the plans of the company are
carried out there will be some very
artistic, durable and cheap residences
erected in this city during the coming
year.

FAIR ATTRACTIONS

When you visit the fair next week
don't miss seeing everything on the
grounds. Remember the attractions
will be many and varied. The shows
furnished by the Metropolitan Carnival
Co. and Signor Arnoldo will be well
worth going to see. The former COM
pany carries no people. Don't miss
seeing the huge boa-constrictor, there
is the society circus, featuring Prof.
Leon's world famous dogs, IA in num-
Der, Of various kinds and breeds which
perform the most wonderful feats and
show rare intelligence and prove a
delight to the children. Another
attraction is in the long striped tent
where one can witness the entire life of
Christ as portrayed in Ben Hur, through
the agency of moving pictures. Much
curiosity has been manifested by cards
and posters regarding 'she." 1t is well
worth your time to go and see this per-
Torrance which is both unusual and
exceedingly spectacular. The program
is diversified and shows the strange
uses to which electricity can be turned.
The fire fighting alone is worth the
price of admission. As variety you
hear some good singing by Prof. Hull,
songs being illustrated by moving
pictures.
There is the Gypsy camp where you
can look into the future by means of a
scientific fortune teller. At another
tent eight negroes entertain one with
real southern plantation songs. dances
and cake walks. If you like general
show of the vaudeville style you can
hear and see something excellent in
that line.

WILL CLOSE AFTERNOONS OF
THE FAIR.

Fred w. Burt has announced that he
will close his barber shop during the
afternoons of the county fair, on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; he
further wishes to announce that he will
keep his place open until O'Clock each
evening of those days. Mr.. Burt was
the pioneer in the movement to close
his business at 8 o'clock each evening,
except Saturdays, thereby giving his
help less hours of work and more time
for recreation. His motive for closing on
the afternoons of the fair is the same,
and it will be appreciated by those
who patronize this popular Scott street
barber shop.

of which makes the clubs book of 1907

very complimentary things concerning
Miss Hudson's work as an artist but
suffice it to say at this time that she has
received many h0nors in the Art Insti-

she was one of forty who received hon
orable mention at the institute at the

New York, Feb. 13. The Thaw trial
today was limited to an afternoon SEES
sion of less than two hours, the morn
ing sitting Of court having been
abandoned because Of the Illness of
one Of the jurors, Jos. B. Bolton, No.
IL. Mr.. Bolton was allowed to visit his
home in company with two other
jurors and court officers. He found
his wife suffering from double pneu-
monia, and two physicians certified to
District Attorney Jerome that her con-
dition was very serious. Bolton re.
turned to the jury panel in time for
the afternoon session which began at
2:10 p. M, and adjourned at 4:05
O'clock. A stipulation Of counsel was
made whereby the juror might, again
stop at his home accompanied by
bailiffs. It is hoped the trial will go
on tomorrow, although Juror Bolton
