to their store during the sale.
The student body got out and
went into the store and many of
them took advantage of the splendid
bargains offered, making useful pur-
chases. Louis Fox G. Co., not only
demonstrated their wisdom in dis
playing valuable and pretty dry
goods, but they also demonstrated
their discriminating judgment for
beauty in having a picture made of
the wagonload of young ladies', which
was the prettiest feature of delega-
ton, and the handsome and manly
looking young men did not detract so
very much from the beauty scene.
The crowd was "chaperoned" by
Rev. A. L. O'Briant. 1t is understood
that If the young ladies succeed in
capturing the prize they will donate
the same to the Emmanuel Baptist
church.
No man has a better eye for
beauty Tor land values) than Mr.
Thos. NJ. Ferguson and as soon as he
saw the pretty college girls he de-
cided to stand a treat to the prettiest
young lady in the bunch. But when
he saw them, he gave up the task Of
making the decision-there were too
many pretty girls for him to pick out
winner. In fact, Mr.. Ferguson de-
clared that they were all pretty and
that al should receive a treat, so he
generously went and bought enough
oranges to supply the entire student
body, including the boys.
The sale goes on through Saturday
and the contest is open until then.
So far the students are ahead and it
is very probable that they will come
out winners.
The young ladies of the college as
the wagon passed along waved pretty
banners, IS. NJ. c." being the emblem
on them.

BEAUTIFUL TRUCK FARMS

Soil Of Forrest County is Unsurpassed for Truck
Farming as Splendid Growing Crops Show.

tons are superior to that along the
Illinois Central Railroad where the
industry is worked on a grand and
magnificent scale and then, too, our
truck is earlier by several days than
the Crystal Springs product.
Another evidence that our farmers
are doing well and anticipate good
times is the fact that so many i'm
provements are being made in the
fences, dwellings and out houses.
Everywhere these improvements are
under way and it speaks well for our
farmers.
The diversified character of the
planting is such that it must bring
handsome returns and as We continue
to encourage and increase this indus

yond our most sanguine expecta-
tions.
Take a ride around and be con-
WINGED If you are a doubter.
The evidence is plentiful that We
have the best soil in the state.

A highly profitable investment on
one of these beautiful days would be
in the employment of a team and
drive around the suburbs of our city
and see to what extent the farming
interests are being developed.
Across the river and extending along
the road from Petal down to the
River avenue bridge and then back
to the city is one unbroken chain of
beautiful truck farms. Everything is
growing under the warm sun that has
been so kind to the farmers thus far
and, coupled with the sunshine, the
rains of the past few days has helped
wonderfully.
Especial mention must be made of
the farm of Messrs. Pritchard and
John Burkett, where everything Is on
the large scale that characterizes this
industry at other places in the state
and elsewhere.
No better REPUTATION of the errone-
GUS forestry export report can be
found than these actual demonstra-
lions.

The rip-roaring noise that found
vent in the above college yell brought
large number of business men and
clerks to their doors yesterday after
noon.
What does it mean?" What is all
that noise about?' These and other
queries were hastily made as people
rushed to their doors to find out what
kind of an invasion of the city had
been made.
The invasion was a peaceful one,
and part of it was beautiful-the fem
mime part, of course!
1t was the students of the South
Mississippi college who came in an
immense wagon, which was necessary,
not only to haul the students, but to
bring the college yell as well.
in the great wagon that had been
especially prepared for the occasion,
there were 120 students, fully half oil
whom were young ladies', as lovely
as the prettiest spring flower. The
others were the young men students
of the college and the whole party
were light-hearted and free. 1t was
a happy event in their college ca
reers.
Where were they going?

SURPRISES IN
CIRCUIT COURT
Criminals Plead Guilsy.-only One
Jury Case Tried.-The Longest
Calendar, but Short Session

Judge Parish opened circuit court
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock. The
most of that day was given to hearing
motions and fixing time for trial of the
different cases on the calendar. The
criminal cases were disposed of as fol-
lows: That Of JOS. j. Haasl charged
with arson, was taken to Barron county
on a change of venue. John Gremnes,
charged with getting goods on false
pretenses, had been held in Jail for sew
eral months. The judge thought he
was sufficiently punished and dismissed
the action. The case of John p. Carny
resulted in the defendant being sent to
the Green Bay reformatory for Is
months. He stole trunk from the
500 depot at Bruce. The action against
Angus Mcdonnell was nolled. H. r.
Karstens had his case continued over
the term. In Mettie Noll's case they
gave her fine Of $3.50 and six months
in the county jail. The action of the
city against Otto Schroeder was dis
missed on the ground that the ordi-
nances had not been properly recorded
I by the clerk. This means that all ordi-
nances effecting the peace and conduct
of the city are invalid, and if a man
commits a crime today he must be
charged under the statutes and the city
loses the fines. In the case of VIM.
! Francklin and Ed. Buerman for rob-
bing the 500 depot, Francklin was
sent to Waupaun for one year and
Beurman was discharged, Francklin
having plead guilty.
The gambling cases against Baker
and Decker were put on the calendar
and continued over the term.
Under the head of Jury civil"
action of Ladd against the 500 Railway
company, was taken to Barron county
on change of venue That of w. S.
Sergeant VS.. Board of School Directors
of the town of Marshall, judgement
was rendered in favor of plaintiff in the
sum of 500 90 and interest. The judge
ordered the jury to give verdict with
out leaving their seats. The other
actions were either settled or not
reached.
Under the headof "court facts" di-
vorce was granted to plaintiff in the
action Of Elizabeth Crandall VS.. David
Crandell, also to plaintiff in the case of
Harriet Miller VS.. David F. Miller.
The town of Flambeau VS.. Menasha
Wooden Ware Co., change of venue to
Barron county. The other cases were
either settled or not reached.
The judge will try to get through
tomorrow.

CANNING COMPANY
IMPROVEMENTS
Waukesha People Begin Work on
Their New Possessions in
2usk County

The Waukesha Canning Co., which
has bought the ranch formerly owned
by the Wisconsin Sheep and Develop
ment Co., intends to improve the same
rapidly. In addition to the twenty
five teams and men sent down there
last week, an additional number was
sent down this week. 1t is stated to be
the intention of the company to
clear and plow all the land possible and
and plant it to peas, using it at present
as seed farm.
While this company has number of
canning factories, they also have a
number Of ranches where they fatten
cattle and sheep for market. 1t is not
likely the company will establish can
ming factory in connection with this
ranch for years to come, but if they use
it for a seed farm ard raising cattle and
sheep for the market, it will be a large
factor in the busineus of Rusk county.
1t is a company with large capital
and has had an experience of several
years, and the fact that it's agents for
more than year past had been looking
for a tract of land large enough for
their business before purchasing this
ranch, is evidence they look upon con-
ditions in Rusk county as being proper
for starting Of seed and feeding farm.
One feature in connection with the
farming operations of this company is
the fact that large number Of men
employed in the canning factories at
Barron and Rice Lake will be employed
on the Rusk county land when the fac
tories are shut down. This will give
employment to a considerable number a
good part of the year.
There are now about IS men work
ing on the ranch and it is their inten-
tion to make it a hundred. A steam
stump pnller has been secured and
they will proceed to make rapid
progress in clearing the land. Mr..
Frank Stair, the president of the
company, is here, accompanied by
his wife. They will remain a month
and he will supervise the work.
Another carload Of horses was
shipped in from Waukeaha Tuesday.
1t can be seen that this company
means business and will add cOnsid-
cradle to the business of that part
| of the county from now on.

M. e. Church Dedication.

uc ueW MeGuOulSD CHuICu, IOcdle
on the corner of WOrden Ave. and
Second street was dedicated last
Sunday. Rev. Joseph Hardness
OF ST. Paul was present and preached
three times, morning, afternoon and
evening. His sermons were we'll re-
ceived and highly spoken OF by those
hearing them.
The church is not entirely finished,
but the amount of funds required
was easily raised. 1t was $52S.51 on
the building. There was q very good
congregation present. who cOntrihu-
ted towards the indebtedness the
sum of $370.S9. The church extension
society donated $2j0.00, making a
total Of S620S8, which is $97.3S more
than the Indebtedness. This surplus
is not sufficient to cover the cost OF
finishing, but the outlook is said to
be very favorable for securing the
difference. The pastor says it will be
taken care Of.
Rev. Haight. district superinten-
dant, and Rev. j. l. Carter of the
Christian church took part in the eX-
ercises.
During the past year the member
ship Of the Church has increased
largely, while more interest is eXhi-
