THE COUNTY FAIR SCORES
BIG HIT IN OAKLAND
Home Talent Gave the Most Enjoyable
Entertainment in Many Years.

The Opera House was crowded Tues
day night to witness ''The County Fair"
as presented by Ninety of Oakland's
young people. 1t was a pronounced
success and was given without jar or
hitch from beginning to end, and more
over, was easily one of The best render
i and most enjoyable entert ailments
n the theatrical line ever attempted
here by home talent. This is The more
remarkable when it is remembered that
those taking part in the play were not
only amateurs, but had only one full re-
hearsal. The admirable manner of the
entire presentation, therefore, reflects
the highest credit on our home talent
and on the skill of those directing it.
The familiar scenes at county fair
were given with fidelity TO detail that
was much appreciated by the audience
and many Of them were very laughable;
and if the balloon ascension and horse
racing could not be seen, they could
easily be imagined.
The Widow Smithers," who has
! burr / four husbands and is willing, if
not anxious, to make fifth matrimonial
venture, is the central figure, so to
speak, in the play. This chal acter was
taken by Miss Mary Miller and was as
clever a piece of work as one would ex-
pect from professional.
The specialties were most enjoyable
and nearly all Of them were encored.
The music was beautiful and exception
ally well sung, while the drills and vari-
Gus movements Of the young people
were given with much grace and pre-
cision. Undoubtedly the musical fea-
lures of the play were the most appre-
ciat d, judging from the volume of APP
plause with which they were received.
In such large cas- as This was, and
where all did so admirably, individual
mention is impossible in limited space;
bit suffice it to say that Oakland dem
onstratC1 Tuesday night that she has
plenty of the best sort of amateur talent
and not all of it was on the stage
Tuesday night, either-and the wonder
is that we don't have more entertain
ments along this line. If a County
Fair" can be gotten up in less than a
week what might be done in a month
by the talented young people of town?
The play concluded with catchy song
and very pretty drill entitled Grand
Old Flag" with Mr. Max Jarboe as
soloist.
The cast Of characters and those TAX

being most valuable antiSeptic and anti

cent.
Glycerine plays an important part in
DIR. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of Indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach, attended by sour risingS,
heartburn. foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom-
ach, biliousness and kindred dcrange-
mentS of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments, the" Golden Medical Discovery"
is specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, whether of tho
nasal passages or OF the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in its lucrative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem

Catarrh of the Nasal passages. it Is well,
while taking the Golden Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times day with DR.. Sage'S
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron-
Chial. throat and lung affections except con-
sumption in its advanced stages, the Golden
Medical Discovery" is a most efficient rem
edy, especially in those obstinate, hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion of
the bronchial mucous membranes. The "DtS"
covery Is not so good for acute coughs ariS-

pected to cure consumption In its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that-but for all
the obstinate. chronic coughs which. If neg
lected. or badly treated. lead up to consump-
tion it is the best medicine that can be taken.

HORIZON MARSH IS LOST
JUDGE DICK DECIDES THAT IT
SHALL BE DRAINED.
Case Will Be Appealed, but Work of
Retaining $4,000 Acres Is AL
ready Under Way.

BEAVER DAM, Wis, March .
Especial. Judge James j. Dick of This
city has handed down his decision in the
famous Horizon marsh drainage case.
lie has accepted and approved the pre-
liminary report of the commission, ana
made at order directing that the work
proceed with all reasonable dispatch.
lhc findings of Judge Dick are
That Rock river IS not and never has
been declared navigable stream for
commercial purposes in that portion of
it included III the drainage district;
namely, from the north line Of Dodge
county to IiustisfOrd; also that there
IS not now and never was Il natural lake
in the said district; that the drainage
will promote the public welfare; that
the drainage will not effect the pubhc
health.
Pursuant to the order, the Horizon
Drainage commission has organized and
engaged Prof. l.. ). Smith Of the Wis
consin university TO superintehd the
work. The commissioners and survey
ors are already at work, as IT can be
done at less expense while the river and
water in the marsh is frozen The dis
trict to be drained comprises $4,000 acres
of land. The preliminary report OF the
commission, which has been approved by
the court, claimed that the land which
is now practically worthless will be made
tillable land. Land surrounding the
marsh has been selling at from 500 to
Sl25 an acre. The cost to drain the land
will be about 81 per acre.
The case will undoubtedly be appealed
10 the supreme court as the citizens OF
HuStisford will never consent to lose
their water power without testing the
law to the tul extent. Sportsmen I'll
over the country decry the loss OF the
famous duck hunting place.

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
cold Indiana" Holds the Ribbon.

'Ulu lnuiana' HOfds the hhbDoh'
Dundurn, Sask.. Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr.. w. II. Rogers, Canadian Govern
ment Agent, indianapolis, Ind:
Ny Dear Sir-Wnen you were at our
place in July l promised to write you
what my North quarter made per acre.
You will remember 1t was all sown to
wheat. Well, finished threshing yes
terday, and received from 1t an aver
age Of 43A bushels per acrc-testing
64h pounds per stroked bushel. The
wheat IS the best sample l have ever
raised-so uniform and even in size.
You may know it was good sample
when l tell you that l have already
sold 1000 bushels of it for seed to my
neighbors. This year has been my best
effort in farming during my life. My
wheat totalled $3.50 bushels and my
oats nearly 5000.
If you remember | pointed out to
you Il half-section lying just west Of
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which ! said | should
have In order to make one Of the best
farms in Western Canaua. ! am very
glad to be able to tell Won that | now
own that halfsection. Ny ambition
now is to be able to market 10000
bushels Of wheat next year. If some
of those good honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it In
great piles in my granaries, | feel sure
they would have been forced to aC-
knowledge there is no better farming
country in the world than this. ! may
just say that have done all my farm
ing with eight head of horses and one
hired man except during harvest and
threshing This year | proved to my
neighbor that the IIoosiers when once
woke up" can raise grain equal to the
best Minnesota farmers. His best yield
was 1917 bushels per acre, so you see
"Old Indiana" is holding the ribbon
this year.
Yours very truly,
n T.. BAI'MlNk
