Colored Physicians.

The colored physicians who re-
Gently met in Baltimore had no
grievance. Not being political agi-
tators they were actuated only by a
desire to advance the cause of a
common humanity SO far as this
might be done by an interchange Of
knowledge and ideas bearing upon
medicine and surgery by skilled
members of the medical profession,
who are not in it for politics. The
educated colored people who are
making a study of economic condi-
tions and intelligently applying
themselves to the Improvement of
their race along these lines are do
ing far more for the material bene-
fit of their people than can ever be
done by the social equality cranks
who are looking for legislation as
an uplifting power.

The Pierce County Fair.

The twenty-fourth annual exhibit
ton of the Pierce County Fair Asso-
citation was held on schedule time,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
of last week, at Ellsworth. The
weather was all right, with the ex-
ception of being a little too cool for
summer clothing exclusively.
We exceedingly regret to say that,
taken as a whole, the Fair was "a
number of points" less attractive
than it's predecessor of 1906.
There was a good display of ex-
cellent stock, but not as large as
that of last year. Floral Hall was
not filled TO its capacity, but the ex-
hibits seen there were fully up to
the standard of former years. The
educational display was promi-
nent feature and did credit to the
schools of the county.
Both balloon ascensions were pro-
nounced the best ever witnessed in
Ellsworth.
The base ball games excited much
interest, the one between Ellsworth
and Red Wing resulting in score
Of to l in favor Of the former, and
the other between River Falls and
Hudson being to in favor Of the
latter.
The races were not swift enough
to arouse a great deal of enthusiasm.
The Ellsworth Cornet Band, the
only one present, received the we'll
merited admiration of all.
Attractions in the line of amuse-
ments, except as above noted, were
conspicuous for their absence. The
merry-go-round, trapeze performers,
more or less moral shows" etc.,
failed to put in an appearance, to
the great disappointment Of chill
dren and young people, and the
farmers were also disappointed at
the failure of the A. S. of E. repre-
sentative to meet his engagement.
This was evidently an off year"
in the Fair line at Ellsworth, the re-
suit being attributed by different
persons to different causes.
The gate receipts were satisfact-
DRY, and lack of amusements gave
people an excellent opportunity to
visit with one another, which SEEM
ed to be we'll improved.

Important Change In Feeding
Stuff Law.

1.-The New Wisconsin Feeding
Stuff Law" is the title of a special
bulletin just issued by the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. This pamph-
let gives the text of the present law
affecting the sale of commercial
feeds in this state, together with a
summary of its requirements, and
suggestions to those engaged in the
manufacture or sale of such feeds.
Section l of the law defining what
shall be included under the term
concentrated commercial feeding
stuffs" is the only one amended;
but in this very important change
is made, in that all kinds of bran
and middlings are brought within
the meaning of this term and pure
grains ground together" are no
longer exempted. Thus practically
all mixed feeds used for feeding
purposes will therefore have to be
registered ct the Experiment Sta
ton before they can be legally sold
in Wisconsin. Since the feeds now
added are the most common feeding
stuffs on the market, the Importance
of the amendment subjecting them
to inspection and analysis can be
readily appreciated. An exception
is made in the case of persons en-
gagged within the state in the manu-
facture of fours or malt, whereby
they are allowed to sell their own
make of mill feed at the place where
made without having them regis
tered. Copies of the bulletin will
be sent, SO long as the limited
supply lasts, to all interested upon
request. Inquiries and correspond
ence should be addressed to F. w.

tural Experiment Station, Madison,

One of the interesting exhibits in
the agricultural department at the
last Wisconsin State Fair was a
booth gotten up under the auspices
of the Wisconsin Agricultural Elk
pertinent Association. The display
was supplied by different members
and was arranged in a very tasty
manner, and offered an unusual op-
portunity for studying the different
varieties of crops raised by the
members. Just a trifle less than a
thousand are enrolled and the prin-
cipal idea of the body is to form a
more perfect union between students
of the college and carry on investi-
cations and experiments that shall
be beneficial to all parties interest
ed in progressive farming. Mr.. R.
A. Moore, of Madison, Wis, is sec

sesouIIs Attack q Man.

A Danish sailor has had narrow
escape from meeting death from a
flock Of seagulls. His ship, the Flan-
dria, from Cronstadt to Copenhagen,
was within so miles Of her destina-
tion when he was washed overheard
by heavy sea. He was powerful
swimmer, and divesting himself Of his
clothing, prepared to make stout
battle for life. No sooner, however,
had the man got clear Of his gar
ments than great flock Of seagullT
gathered around and began a fierce
attack upon the intruder into their
quiet domain, whom they pecked at
remorselessly with their beaks. For
six hours the man contrived to keep
himself afioat, warding on his perse-
cutors as best he could, one or two
ships passing without noticing him.
When at last Russian steamer, the
Elisa, took him on board his strength
was utterly exhausted.

Falcon az Ships Mascot.

Ohio Fred is large falcon with a
curved and wicked looking beak and
claws which command respect from
all. He was captured by Chief Oficer
F. G. Mills when the vessel was about
100 miles inside of Unimak Pass, on
the voyage north.
Mr.. Mills only secured Fred after
a hard struggle. The bird alighted
on the foretop of the steamship one
afternoon. There was a heavy wind
and the big bird was tired out. Mr..
Mills climbed aloft and after strug-
gle succeeded in bringing Fred to
the deck. Fred, however, almost took
them both overheard on the way down
from the foretop. He struggled with
his large wings and nearly took the
Oficer from the rigging.
Mr.. Mills, however, clung to his
prize, and the result was that Fred
became the pet and mascot of the
ship. It was only with his captor
that he would become friendly. To
anyone else approaching he shows his
beak and threatens them with his
claws and they keep their distance

WHEN ysfFE ,soM WAS HOST.


Jefferson was a methodical man

tures, and the yellowed accounts kept
while he was in the White House
sh(~ that he spent $4,000 for liquors
aloLe during his term of eight years.
says a writer III the Home Magazine.
When we take into consideration the
fact that glasses clinked merrily
around the cabinet table as well as
the dining table. and that an open
buffet was kept for all callers. this
amount is not surprising. Notwith'
standing the low prices, Jefferson
often spent as high as $50 on his
small dinners, wine list not, included
and he was most particular about his
wines and brandies.
Jefferson's state dinners were usual.
ly limited to about 40 guests. The
large dining room was not considered

HUNT FOR a HANeMAN.
Difficulty in Finding Some One 70 ex'

The British army was once in diffi-

Murder was committed by soldier
in the Crimea, but nobody could be
found to carry out the sentence Of tho
cOurtmartial.
Il was announced that &2e and q
free discharge would be granted TO
the man undertaking the task. At
last man volunteered. He was .
newcomer to the army.
On the night prior to the date fixed
for the execution they locked up the
hangman in a stable to keep him safe.
In the morning the party at the gal
lows waited, but there was no hang
man. He had gone mad during the
night, or else he was now Stimulating
madness.
The officer in command turned to
one of his captains with: Captain.
you will have the goodness to hang
the prisoner!" The captain changed
countenance, but he pulled himself to-
gether, and appealed to the sergeants
with: Which Of you will hang this
man."
And to spare his captain, one Of
the men volunteered. He afterward
had the satisfaction of fogging the
man who had volunteered and failed.
