County Fair Notes.

At recent meeting of the committee
on premiums, Messrs. j. III. McLees,
j. M. Allen. and f. w. Alexander, il
was decided to give third premium il
Glasses 8, 10 and 13, which include
fruit, canned goods and pastry and flow
crs. BY adding the third premium the
awards are practically double of those
of last year and should hold out sufficient
attraction to warrant liberal showing.
A contract has been closed with one
of the best japanese Acrobatic troupes
in the business to give free show in
front of the grand stand daily.
Secretary ]. M. Allen was in atten-
dance at a meeting Of county fair Off
GERS which was held at Madison last
week by the secretary of state. The
officers were given information as to
the best methods TO follow in carrying
out a successful county fair. The state
is being more strict than ever, as il has
been learned that some secretaries
have been padding" their reports in
order to secure more assistance.

SYSTEM OF MARKETING WRONG.
Reporter Says Farmers Should not AL
low Bayers 10 "Pineh."

Regarding the complaints of growers
on the low price situation of the tobacco
market, the Edgerton Reporter has the
FLOWING to say:
The nr--a:iing complaint of growers
regsrding the low prices of tobacco this
se4son has prompted the inquiry as to
where the blame lies. 1t cannot be
charged that those growers who were
not adverse to putting labor to their
crop in preparing to case, pack and hold
it if necessary have been able to obtain
reasonably fair figures for their tobacco.
One reason why so large per cent of
the crop was disposed of at bargain
prices was that growers held their to-
baeco in bundle until well into spring
when they had no time left to prepare
it for market and accepted the best
offer that came to them. An advant-
age of the situation was taken by the
buyers and after the ice was once broken
and the low price established the crop
was lifted before the farmer had an
opportunity to calmly think over where
his mistake lay. In our opinion this
system of marketing the crop is all
wrong. The successful tobacco grower
is one who, if he cannot sell advant-
ageously in the bundle, will put his
crop in cases and await better condi-
tions. He will not allow himself to be
pinched or needlessly sacrifice his pro-
fits. The tobacco farmers themselves
cannot escape good part of the blame
for the sacrifices made this season,
however much they would like to shift
the responsibility. They viii be more
to blame if they let it occur again.

ROSE WILSON IS ALIVE.
Sheriff Silbsush Finds Traces Of Mis-
sing Girl at La Crosse.

Mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of Rose Wilson of La Fargo has
been cleared up in SO far as it is GER
tain that the girl is alive Sheriff Sill
baugh learned at La Crosse that she
registered at a hotel IN that city on the
night of the same day she disappeared.
She left call with the clerk for the
early morning passenger train going
west.
Reports that she vent to Minneapolis
in company with travelling man, and
dozens of other ridiculous stories con-
cccted by penny-lners on La Crosse
papers are entirely without foundation
and originated entirely within the fer
tile brains of tie reporters. 1t is be-
lieved. the girl lett Viroqua without
much premeditation owing to the fact
that her clothing was left at the Henry
home unpacked, but where she went
after reaching La Crosse still remains
a matter of speculation.

Gophers Defeat white Sex.

The Gophers of st. Paul won over the
White Sox in the game Sunday by a
score of a to 3, in one of the best ex.
hibitions of bali playing seen on the To-
cal grounds for some time. The colored
men got lead in the first three innings
which the Viroqua boys were unable to
overcome, but If it had not been for
two costly errors on the part of the Sox
the game might have been won.
Unthinkingly, some one on the side
lines made remark in roofing that in
jured the feelings of the visitors, and
from that time they hardly conducted
themselves as gentlemen. The CEr.sok
believes that it would be better in the
future for the management to pass up
organizations of this kind, if the un-
pleasantness of Sunday is to be re-
heated.

little city. Have been out to Caledonia,

from seven saloons, but the citizens

and not for the best interests of public

TRAVEL NOW CHEAP.

the exhibition rooms are crowded
with gay throngs of local sight

What THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Uneeasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part Of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tisn, govt. gravel, disorders of the
hearing and eyesight, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine. etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kidneys.
Capt. J. T. Baldwin, living on
iberia Ave-, Franklin, La, says: II
heartily recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills as their use in my case proved
them to be genuine kidney remedy
On account of the lameness and pains
in my back, especially through the
region of the kidneys, had great diff
ficulty in arising after lying down.
1t brought the least strain On the
muscles of my loins, l would suffer
intensely as result. The kidney
secretions showed signs of disorder
being highly colored and very irregu-
lar in action. Coming to the con-
clusion that my kidneys were at fault,
and the cause of all my trouble. l re-
solved to try Doan's Kidney Pills as
l had heared them highly spoken of l
procured them at S. J. Gates & Co. s
drug store, and they gave entire
satisfaction. Doan's Kidney Pills
not only rid me of all distress caused
from my kidneys but seemed to act as
tonic to my system, and improved
my general health"
