reka, but now Of Goodrich, this state,
IS visiting friends in Linton. She
came here Tuesday from Eureka.
where She has been visiting, and will
remain here week or so.
The latter part OF last week the
school district officers OF Emmons
county were in session in Linton.
There was considerable attendance.
ana many matters OF interest to the
people OF the various school districts
were discussed.
John Postle and the big bunch Of
little Postles visited relatives in Lin
ton Saturday. and incidentally took
IN the circus. OF course there was .
visit to the Record office by the boys,
who are greatly interested In the

Pollock Progress, July 10th: Mrs.
Blesheuval, who lives with her son
John Biesheuval on their farm about
Sin miles northeast of Pollock. died
suddenly Monday night, July Is, 1905.
She has been quite feeble for long
time, and nothing was thought of it
Tuesday morning when she did not
arise for breakfast. Later, when she
did not arise, her son knocked on her
door and found her dead in her bed.
There were two or three extremely
hot days last week The heat undoubt-
eddy did some damage to fields Of
grain that were late and thin, al
though the early grain that had st ooled
we'll and covered the ground does
not seem to be much injured. There
was rain in most parts Of the county
the fore part of the week, although it
was far from being uniform in volume.
At Linton there was a light rain Sum
day night.
The Records engine went sudden
ly out of commission Tuesday fore.
noon. From some mysterious cause
probably the escape valve failing to
open-the confined gas threw the
plunger backward with sufficient force
to break three of the castings of the
machine, badly wrecking the outfit.
Luckily. Gus. Datfinrud had a three
horsepower Fairbanks engine in stock.
This was purchased and set up in time
TO work the paper. Repairs will be
procured for the wrecked engine, and
the two engines will be put in place
so that, if one bucks. the other will
probably be in running order while the
other is being doctOred.
Yankee Robinson's circus gave two
performances in Linton Saturday.
There was a big crowd in attendance
probably the largest gathering ever
seen in Linton. The show gave a very
good program, and there was an alb
sence of the graft that accompanied
the social wan Amburg show seen
here a few years ago. There is one
''ny in the ointment, however. Why
show of good reputation should ad.
vertise leading feature that they did
not perform, and had no means of per-
forming, is something hard 10 account
for, as it tends to make people skep-
teal when the circus again comes to
town. On the bill-boards were big
pictures of a monkey "looping the
loop With an auto. There was no
such act performed. The show is good
enough to draw a crowd without mis-
leading the public by advertising acts
that there is no intention OF perform
ing.
One of the most scientific games Of
base ball ever played in these parts
will take place next Sunday afterno n
OH the local diamond. At that time
the Fat Men and the Lean Men of the
town will engage in desperate combat
with the tanning stick. AS Shaks-
peare says that lean men .are tit for
stra,agems and spOils.' and pins his
faith to those whose bay windows ''are
with good capon lined, or words to
that effect. it goes without saying
that the sympathy Of the populace is
or ought to be with the players
who are blessed with what the French
call "embon(g) point. The game is
for a purse of 100000. 1t will be called
promptly at ; p. M, and. II it does not
break up in row, will continue until
it is finished. Following is the lineup
And it is we'll TO say right here that
no excuses will be taken, as Marshal
pagel has been ordered by the village
! board TO forthwith seize and "dray
to the grounds any person who has
been detailed to play in the game and
is seeking to escape. John Reamer Is
captain OF the Fats and Charlie Cow
entry OF the Leans. Following are the
names of those who will take part In
the disturbance: Fats-Aug. Ober-
