Races at State Fair.

The racing events of the Wiscon-
SIN State Fair to be held at Milwau-
kee from Sept. to Is, will attract
thousands of men and women who
never cease in their enthusiasm
over the achievements Of high bred
racing horses.
The automobile can never displace
the horse when it comes to racing
For many weeks entries for various
big races have been received and
they are of the kind that indicate
records broken. The Board Of Agr1-
culture has appropriated total of
$27, 900 in prizes for the speed de-
partment which is an amount
larger than that offered by other
state fairs and sufficient to attract
the best strings Of horses from all
circuits. In addition to the regular
trotting and pacing events, the
exciting Ladies' Relay Running
races will be repeated, five miles
being run each afternoon, tho final
award to be made on Friday, the
closing day Of the fair. Then, too,
there will be running races IN the
evening under the search-light.
These races are spectacular in the
extreme and always attract large
attendance. In anticipation Of i'm
mense crowds the grand stand has
been enlarged and for the accom-
mediation of those who want them,
many boxes have been erected along
the lower level of the grand stand,
an unusually fine view OF
the race track.
The regular racing programme
will begin Monday afternoon, Sept.
9, and continue each afternoon,
with great big events for Wednes-
day, State Day, and Thursday, Mil
waukee Day.

Very respectfully
Mrs

that would not be seen with her in
daylight. She told her mother she
was going and whom she was 60
ing with when she went away from
home. She tried to be as modest
and refined as possible and would
have been Mortified to think that
any OF her future daughters would
act and talk the way they do. Now,
girls, do you think it pays to act
and talk brazenly, to CAD the streets
to stay out of school, to let your
mother do all the work, to lie to
your parents, to pick up with every
chap Shat drops into town and play
tough generally? Honest now,
would you rather be what you are
than a nice, modest girl whom every
man in town would be proud to lift
his hat to? Would you not be a
girl whom the whole community
would respect, and love and bless,
and not sheer and crack coarse
jokes about when she gets marriedi
OF course, you would, and you can
be as good as any girl, If you will
only try"

The Mineral Point Fair.

Fair season is now on, as Mineral
Point fair opened up the season as
usual last Tuesday with the First
and Best" Darlington this week
and Platteville next.
The weather on Wednesday morn
ing looked rather bad, but 1t soon
cleared oft and the people started
early to form a continuous stream
toward the fair grounds. An aver
age Wednesdays attendance was
present.
Thursday dawned bright and clear
and by o'clock the streets were
crowded. At about 1920 o'clock
the first excursion train pulled in,
and It wasIloaded down with visitors
from Platteville, Lancaster, OAR
lington and Shullsburg, and not a
few drove over from Dodgeville.
The races were good on Wednes-
day but on Thursday they broke all
previous records; the Free for alp
trot or pace being run in 2.12, the
record for q half mile track in Wis
consin.
The attractions were of the best.
The acrobatic work was very good
and the 10 foot high dive into a
tank of fire was a great feature.
There was a slight mar to the races
on Thursday when horse stumbled
in the third heat of the Free for all"
causing the sulky to swing around
and collide with the next horse in
the rear. Both drivers were thrown
from their seats and one had the
heel OF his shoe entirely torn off by
being caught in the wreckage. One
of the horses was stopped almost at
once but the other ran around the
track five times pulling his wrecked
cart after him. He was finally
stopped by man catching hold of
the cart and others soon joined in
and brought him to a halt. Neither
of the two horses started in the last
heat.
Friday morning it again looked
like rain but it soon cleared off and
uIeSethe crowds came and went.
It was one of the most successful
in the history of the Mineral Point
fair association.
Everyone goes to Darlington to
the big White Fair" this week.

How to Escape Taxes.

Owners of land in the state of
Wisconsin now have inducements
to plant a portion of their holdings
to forest trees. In consideration
of the public benefit to be derived
from the planting and cultivation
of timber or forest trees, law was
recently enacted that permits the
owner of any tract of land in the
state to set apart portion. not ex-
ceeding forty acres, for forest
culture, and to be exempted from
taxation on that portion of land for
a period of thirty years from the
time of planting. This privilege
extends to corporations and CO
partnerships as we'll as TO individ-
uals.

''Girls, why don't you be good? If
you can't be good all at once, why
not try to be good little at a time
until you get to be really good?
Now let us reason together for a
few moments. Your mother is a
good woman and when a girl she
believed that it was wrong to make
the acquaintance of a man without
the formality of an introduction.
She did not go out on the street be-
fore the supper dishes were washed
to "catch on" to some lout who had
nothing in the world but a package
of cigarette papers. She did not
stay out half the night with some
scrub of fellow who had no more
regard for girlish innocence or
womanly virtue than a rattlesnake
has for the feelings of his victim.
She did not go to the depot to see
every train come in or to make a
show of herself by flirting with
every man that stuck his head out
of a car window. She went to church

to walk home with some swell head

KILLING DANDELI0NS.
How Lancaster May Rid Itself OF
This Pest Next Year.

The dandelion nuisance can now
be abated by applying solution Of
sulphate of IRON, the same as has
recently been discovered in connec
ton with wild mustard. Professor
Bailey, OF the North Dakota ag-
ricultural school, tried the solution
on the dandelions on his lawn. He
used a pound of iron sulphate to
four gallons of water, put on with a
spray. DO the work in the morn
ing, he says, when 1t is not liable
to rain. The leaves will die G-teF
the second or third day. It does
not injure the grass" This will be
good news to those whose lawns
have been infested with dandelions
and no doubt many will try it
another year.

Trl-State FAIR.

This is the week Of DubuQue's
fourth annual Tri-State fair. The
preceding events have been uni
formly and increasingly successful
and it is confidently expected that
if weather fav0rs past successes will
be repeated this week. The speed
contests, will be the main feature,
but there will also be exhibitions
Of live stock, farm products and
farm machinery, a show in the art
hall and vaudeville performances.
There will be three races every dey
except Friday, Dubuque day when
the number will be increased to
fonr. Dan Patch, the worlds cham
pion, will pace a mile on Wednes-
day against his record of 1:55. The
business men, recognizing the value
OF the fair TO retail interests,
have made practice Of suspendipg
business on the afternoon Of Du-
buque and this practice will be fol
lowed the present week. Wednes.
day, however, will be the big
day for the visitors from the neigh
boring towns and from the country.
There will be no mineral exhibit of
this year, but it is hoped
that in course of time the mineral
exposition will become a conspic-
uous feature of the fair.

The startling news was conveyed
to relatives in Lancaster Saturday
of the awful death which befell Mrs.
Katherine Coombs of this city, while
visiting at the home of her nephew,
who resides near East Dubuque.
The Dubuque Times of Sunday
contained an authentic account of
the fatality which we reproduce
herewith:
To have her body ehurned under
a passenger train running at a fifty
mile an hour clip, for distance of
four hundred feet and to have her
remains picked up along the track
in tub, was the tragic fate of Mrs.
Katherine Coombs, of Ian caster.
She was crushed and cut into
bits under a Burlington train at
Rutledge, four miles north of Eaat
Dubuque, Saturday afternoon at
1:15 o'clock and two hours later an
inquest was held.
The fragments Of the body were
brought to East Dubuque on a hand
car Saturday evening at $50 o'clock
and taken charge of by a Dubuque
undertaken.
Mrs. COombS was one of Grant
county, Wisconsin's. pioneer resi-
dents and recently celebrated her
seventy eighth birthday. She wentitO
her home from Lancaster TO Rut-
ledge to visit her nephew, T. @.
Pace, section foreman for the
Burlington at that place.
The Pace home is situated near
the track and 1t was while the aged
woman was passing between the
rails, en- route to the river edge to
get some wood, that she was struck
and mangled to death under The
wheels. Her death was instantane-
Gus and there was not piece Of her
body larger than foot square
found in any one place.
The train which struck the
woman was moving at the rate of
fifty miles an hour and came to a
stop 400 feet after the accident.
The mangled portions of the body
were picked up for distance Of 400
| feet a2d placed in g tub with other
receptacles. The clothing was torn
from the body and pieces Of the flesh

SHOCKING DEATH

gravel along the track Coroner
Gundeman, of Grant county, hello
an inquest and a verdict of acci-
dental death was the result. The
remains were shipped from Dubuque
to Lancaster, where the interment
will be made.
T. @. Pace, a nephew of the de-
ceased, was at East Dubuque Satur>
day evening and said of the &C
cident:
MRS. COOmbs way visiting at my
house at Rutledge and it was while
she was crossing the track to get
some fire wood that she was struck.
The engineer of the train was In nc
manner responsible for the accidents
and gave frequent blasts of alarm.
The body was not thrown from
the right of way but rolled
under the train. It was cut into.
small bits and I don't think we
have found it all yet. The old lady
must have. become excited. She
could hear well and seen good for
one of her age and cannot see how
she was run down.
my two children saw her struck
by the engine and both of them
have been sick since. They were
standing on the porch of the house
watching her cross the track and
hollered to her that the train was
coming. She did not hear them
and was directly in the center of
the rails when she was struck. A
high gravel bank on either side of
the track prevented the body from.
leaving the track and it was from
this cause that it was rolled under
the wheels. The entire tram passed
over it. Mrs. Coombs has two sons.
Thomas. residing at Lancaster, and
George at North Andoyer."
Such are the sad details of this
shocking death.
Rev. Morgans oficiated at the
last sad rites held Monday. SerY--
ices were conducted at the home of
ThOs. Coombs in this city, and in
torment was made IN the cemetery.

ceased will appear in the Herald
