giraffe, cages and animals and all other
features were reproduced in miniature

credit to older heads.
w. I. Coad, native son of Miner
al Point, now prominent lawyer OF
Chicago, having business in Linden last
Friday spent that evening shaking
hands with old acquaintance in this
city. The signs of prosperity hover
around VIII, as he is known here. He
reports Mrs. Coad, nee Miss Whittlesey,
also a native of this city, and two
daughters as well and happy.
The next big event scheduled for
Mineral Point is the Southwestern Wis
consin fair, The management of this in
stitution is exerting every effort to
make the fair of 1907 equal to any in
the history of the association, and bet
ter if possibl, The city and surround
ing country can well afford to give their
most loyal support to this end. Every
citizen of Mineral Point should be long
and persist on the boost. 1t will help
the city.
Miss Vandervort, former Warren
young lady, is one of the star attractions
with Barnum & Bailey's circus this sea-
son. Her particular stunt is to do the
dip of death" in an automobile. Her
act is the sensational feature of the
performance. She left Warren about
two years ago and joined the circus in
New York as rider of high school
horses. 1T is said that she receives big
salary for her act, as she courts death
on every trip.
Between fifty and sixty of our cti-
zens boarded the early special train out
of here Tuesday morning on a trip to
the Dells of Wisconsin. Platteville and
Belmont contributed largely, and it is

aboard 1t was simply great train of

Memory of SIeepWalkers.

The memory OF sleepwalkers is &C.
casionally prodigious under the infiu-
ence OF the dominating impulse that
moves them There is an instance Of
a poor and illiterate basket maker,
who was unable to read or write. yet
in a state Of sleep he would preach
fluent sermons, which were afterward
recognized as having formed portions
of discourses he was accustomed to
hear in the parish church as a child
more than forty years before. Quite
as strange case of unconscious
memory" Is referred to by DR.. Aber-
crombie. 4 girl given to sleepwalking
was in the habit of initiating the violin
with her lips. giving the preliminary
tuning and scraping and flourishing
with the utmosl fidelity. 1t puzzled
the physician q good deal, until he
ascertained that when Il child she
lived in room adjoining a fiddler who
often performed on his violin In her
hearing Pearson Weekly.

the initials correspond with w. r..
Owen, the Randolph cattle buyer, he
was shown the turtle and asked if the

didn't know the name of the lady for

wandered around the streets in this city

They went down the principal street,
with the young gentleman S arm thrown
around the shoulders of his bride. There
were demonstrations of affection at

the futile attempts OF Logan to
work the hit and run game, re-
suited that we could not get run
across the pan, SO we were handed
the first shut.out of the season
aud the first defeat in six games.
The feature OF the game was
Williams pitching who let the Wis
itors down with eight hits, struck
out men and did not make a
battery mistake of any kind.
Fields did as good as could he ex
pected out of his position but his
throws to bases were costly; he

All toRged up in their new uni

field of battle on the Fourth of

fans who have appreciated their
recent victories, and it was tie
sentiment of all that they had
earned their new "Rags' by play

with three runs In the second on
two hits a stolen base an error
and a felders choice, they scored
one more in the fourth on another
hit stolen base Il an error, but
were then helpless until the ninth
inning when they looked real
dangerous and came very near tie
ing the score. Green first up
singled aud then Buntz erred on
chances offered by Dunnigan and
Newton filling the bases with no
one out. Stiers then famed
Chrisman but Perkins drove hot
one between first and second, and
Geeen scored, while he was being
thrown out by Beck at first base,
Dunnigan Thought he could also
score on the play but shannon 9
good throw to- the late doubled
him thus ending their chances for
victory.
Logan could do nothing with
Perkins until the fourth irning
when Beck single and stolen base
followed by Shannon single and
one of Canty's long triples were
good for two runs. The Logan
rooters got busy and ratified Per-
kins so much in the next round
that he passed Fields first man up,
the rest of the team also went to
pieces for a short time and errors
by Dunnigan and Green followed
by Bunt2's double, Webb's triple
and singles by Beck and Shannon
were good for three runs, giving
Logan lead of one run, Webb
decided that was not enough so he
sent liner to center for base in
the seventh and took third on two
passed balls by Dunnigan and
scored what proved to be the win
ming run on Beck out from 8 c.
ond to first. 1t has already been
told how the visitors tried so hard
to tie the score in the last inning
but were stopped b. fast double
play, so once more Logan came
from behind, helped out by "noisy
roofing" and won the fifth
straight game.
Features of the game were the
batting and base running Of Beck
and Webb and the battery work of
Stiers and CaEty. Webb besides
scoring two runs himself, one the
winner, drove in another with his
three base hit. Stiers seemed to
be in his old form, he allowed
nine scattered hits and struck out
8 men and would have had pitched
a shut out game except for errors.
