Manager Jessup of This City
And Manager Hunt of the
Portland Team Are Work
ing on the Plans at Present.
SEVERAL FAST TEAMS
COULD BE INCLUDED.
1t Is Believed That Money
Could Be Made---Manager
Jessup Hopes to Strengthen
The Local Team This Week.

It is quite probable that before the
close of this week Richmond will be
included in a fast baseball league I'M
der the protection of the National AS
ISOLATION of minor leagues. Manager
Jessup. OF the Richmond team. and
Manager Lewis Hunt, of the Portland
team. have been quietly working to
form this league for the past week and
their efforts have proven successful.
Manager Hunt for few days past has
Leen rounding up desirable clubs for
the proposed league.
Manager Jessup has received letter
from Hunt in which he stated that
there is every prospect for the early
formation of the league and suggested
that the managers hold meeting in
Portland some time this week. Hunt
stated that besides the Richmond and
Portland clubs the managers of the
Button, Van Vert. o.. and Decatur
teams had expressed a willingness to
enter the league This would give
five teams and Hunt stated that the
sixth club could be selected from
Dunkirk, Hartford City and the FIT.
Wayne Shamrocks. Manager Hunt
stated that he thought Hartford City
would be the best town to take in, as
the people there would support a team.
Next season. Hunt stated, an eight
club league would be formed. He said
that prompt action should be taken SO
that ;hG league could be launched the
first OF next week.
Should Make Money.
The proposed league would be a COM
pact one. and if the salary limit were
placed at a reasonable figure there is
no reason why the teams should not
make money. Richmond, Bluffton.
Portland, Van Vert and Hartford
City are supporting their teams well.
Decatur is the doubtful member and
some local fans think Dunkirk would
make better town. That town, how
ever, is practically eliminated because
Sunday ball cannot be played there.
With the interest a good league race
would incite. there is no reason why
baseball in Decatur should not support
its team well.
The local team will be strengthened
this week. Probably by Tuesday Man
ager Jessup will be ready to announce
that he has secured two new infielders
and a pitcher. The infielders he is
angling for are both clever players and
good batters. The fielding of the
Quakers has been good of late, but
there has been a woefu1 slump in bat
ting An additional outfielder may
also be secured.

War on Mall Order EvH.

AS brother publisher says, "Cata-
logue House VS.. Home Merchant is get
ting to be well-worn subject with it's
patience trying, disgusting features,
but we should not let up in the warfare
until the evil is overcome.
While the Tribune readers may be
getting tired of hearing so much about
the catalogue house, we can assure
them that no one is so tired as the cat
alogue men themselves. The war is on
and there has been check in the pro-
gress of the mail order house. 1t is
hoped there will be no cooling off, as
nothing is more deadly to the prosper
ity of our country districts than the
mail order business. 1t is fully as dan
gerous as the trust evil. If left un-
checked, it will crowd out innumerable
merchants in all lines of business. Such
result would simply be terrible. Any
one can realize that on second thought.
With country merchants out of busi-
ness, towns deteriorate, churches and
schools collapse. Not a pleasant con-
dition to contemplate. 1t takes money
to keep town prosperous, maintain
churches and schools. This is done by
taxation, and if merchants of towns are
| forced into poverty row and possibly
out of business altogether, where is the
money coming from? Catalogue estab-
lishments don't pay into this fund. In
stead, they take the money out of the
community and forever Gov. Folk Of
Missouri has said: Every man should
be proud of his state and his town.
do not believe in the mail order citizen.
1t is better that we should have thou
sand towns than large city. If place is
good enough for man to make his
money in, it certainly should be gooc
enough for him to spend his money in
The merchants have just right to al
the business of town in which they
have their stores, and every good citi
zen will help them 10 get it. !"

are said to have formed league for
self-protection against the obnoxious
mail order horses mammoth institu-
lions, spending no money in the COM
munities whence they derive annually
millions of dollars of patronage, and
making commercial graveyards of
once prosperous towns. " The move is
a good one and should meet with help
full encouragement from every commun-
ity. The backbone of the leagues is
formed of commercial associations, ma
tional, state and local in character, in
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
Kansas and Minnesota.
Here is another opportunity for the
Mineral Point Commercial Club to make
another good move for the benefit of
our city.
1t is hoped that those of this com
munity who are patronizing mail order
houses will stop and deliberate on
facts and possible results herein cited.
Whatever you do, don't retard the pro-
gress of your own community.

As announced in last week S Tribune
Mrs. Cnas. cambridge passed away sud-
denly at the home of her son in Mifflin
July "a. 1907.
Deceased was born at Linden Feb. rs,
1857, and was married to Mr.. Charles
cambridge on the 18th of January, 1877.
Four children were born unto them,
Ethel, May and William surviving her
and her beloved husband with whom
she spent very happy life.
Mrs. cambridge was numbered among
the best known and most popular wo-
men in this part Of the state, and en-
joyed the highest esteem of all who
knew her. She was woman of genial
disposition and kindly spirit, and her
home was always open to the entertain
ment of friends and those who needed
help and encouragement.
Burial services were held Friday af-
ternoon, July 26, when very large
concourse of relatives and friends as
scinbled at the home and the church to
pay loving tribute to her memory. The
services, conducted by Revs. j. Hard

THE Old RELIABLE
FIRST AND BEST FAIR
August 20, ~, 22, 23, 1907.

Three weeks from today the great
Mineral Point Fair will be at its height
in this city The premiums offered for
| this year in the various departments
are very liberal and embrace all the
principal breeds of live stock and poul-
try, as well as the products of the
farm, garden and orchard. The plans
for this years fair are very extensive
and will bring out very high class ex-
hibition in all respects, including fine
mining exhibit from all the mines in
this vicinity.
There will be red-hot harness and
running races throughout the fair.
Mineral Point holds the first racing
meet of the Southwestern Wisconsin
Fair Racing Circuit, which includes the
fairs of Darlington, Platteville. Mon
roe and Madison. These horses will
meet in this city for their first eneoun-
tiers and some exciting contests may be
looked for.
There will be baseball games every
day. Sharp rivalry exists between the
teams of southwestern Wisconsin, hence
each e6ntest is bound to prove of special
interest.
The special free attractions for this
years fair are the Laurent Trio and
Diavolo. the death-defying high diver
The Laurent Trio are known through
out the world for their wonderful skill
as acrobats and equilibrists, They are
the feature attraction at this year
Wisconsin State Fair at Milwaukee.
Diavolo is the king of high divers.
His act is one of stupendous daring and
marvellous skill. A backward dive and
somersault into blazing furnace from
a dizzy height of ITO feet briefly de-
scribes this matchless sensational feat
ure.
Every citizen of Mineral Point si.culd
do all in his power to make this years
fair a large success. There will be
hundreds of old-time residents back for
the Hcpe-C Coming at the Fair. All cit
liens SHOULD join in their entertainment
and help to make it memorable oc-
casion. The Fair belongs tous all.
