Plucking of Human Blossom.

In the death of little Eulalia Gene
We've, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Z. w.
Sinex, which occurred Monday evening
Oct. 26, charming and precious bud
was plucked for the celestial flower
garden. Brain fever was the agency
and required only four days to perform
its task.
Genevieve, as she was called, was
3 years, Z months and Is days old, and
an especially bright and interesting
child for one Of such tender years. Less
than month ago Mr.. and Mrs. Sinex
were called upon by the Supreme power
to yield up their only son, an infant
nigh unto year old. Such cups of sor-
row are indeed bitter and beyond the
comprehension of ALL excepting those
having had to pass through a like or
deal. For the bereaved parents the COM
sympathy is unlimited.

oSsIN. THURSDAY. OCTOBER %, 1905.
Corn Contest a Success.

The corn contest arranged for by the
Iowa County Bank and which took
place in this city last Saturday, was a
success in various ways.
AS stated last week there were about
$50 entries. Per announcement Prof.
Moore of the state agricultural college
was present, passed judgment and
awarded prizes. First prize went to
Gordon Bros. residing seven miles
southeast of this city, on an exhibit of
what is known as Wisconsin No. Z, a
white corn; second prize to Joseph
Eagels, residing near Belmont. on a
yellow dent corn; third prize to j. Peter
Ley, of Linden township, on a white
corn The merit of every exhibit was
of such high order that it was no
easy task to decide where to place the
awards. Prof. Moore not only compli-
mented each exhibit, but pronounced
the display as whole one of the best
in his experience, and expressed sur
prise at the progress in corn growing
in southwestern Wisconsin.
The lecture on corn by the professor
at the city hall, after dinner. was nee
essarily short in order to permit him to
get away on the afternoon train, but was
full of good points. He clearly showed
the benefits of the state agricultural
college to farmers in general by the
persistent efforts being put forth there
in to bring forth higher point of ex-
cellence and to improve all such grains
as can be raised in this state The re-
suit is that no state can boast Of pro-
ducing superior live stock or better
yields of grain than Wisconsin.
Briefly told, this contest served as
an awakening of interest among the
tillers of the soil and raisers of stock,
and is therefore bound to prove bene-
fetal in time to come.

Hollandale Home Sadly Bereft.

Knowledge of the affection which
overlook Mr.. and Mrs. Joshua Robin
son of Hollandale on the 10th and 18th
insts. reached the Tribune too late for
any reference thereto in our last issue.
1t numbers among the saddest events
in the history Of Hollandale, and was
occasioned by mysterious visitations OF
the angel Of death.
On Friday, the 18th, their bright and
only daughter, Alice, aged Z years,
2 months and 8 days, was taken from
them by death, and the following day
their youngest and promising son, Mar
vim, aged years, 2 months and 70
days, was likewise summoned.
The illness of both little ones was Of
brief duration, battling the skill of five
physicians, and mystery surrounds the
edict of Him who doeth all things
well. 1" The grief of the bereft parents
is of great intensity, measurable only
by those who have passed through a
like ordeal. In every quarter of the
country are numerous friends Of Mr..
and Mrs. Robinson who join the Tribune
in expressions of heartfelt sympathy.

BABY SHOW AT
HOSPITAL Bazaar

The st. vincent's hospital bazaar
scored its greatest success yesterday
when 1t afforded an opportunity to the
world to form an estimate of what the
coming generation will be like. The
Elks were completely put in the shade
by the little dears" and the concensus
of opinion was to the effect that no
matter who is president the country
is safe, so long as Birmingham pro-
duces such boys and girls as were in
the show yesterday.
The baby show was the event of
the day and as the hour of o'clock
approached the excitement rose higher
and higher. Babies, babies every
where every age, every seize and not
cry was heard. At the last moment
1t was learned by wireless message
that the three expert judges could
not arrive on time and in their stead
the Rev. DR.. Wells, Wallace c. Johns
and F. /. Monks were appointed to
fill the vacancies. Miss WEIGH was in
charge of the arrangements and she
quickly proceeded to classify the con-
testants according to age, each baby
being tagged with a card showing its
age "Girls on the right, boys on the
left" said the judges, "and form in
line.' The judging was done rapidly
and on the whole satisfactorily with
the following results:
Glass 1. Babies six months old and
under. First prize: boys, Charles De
Porch girls, Lora Rose oliver.
Glass 2. Babies to IL months. First
prize boys Fred Scott, Jr. girls, Eliz-
abeth Ridley.
Glass 8. Children one to three years
First prize: boys, Laurence Bramlage,
Jr.; girls, Catherine Grub.
Glass 4. Children three to five years
First prize boys, Wentworth Dillon;
girls, Nora Anna Herman.
There were about 100 entries in all
and in several cases the judges had
considerable difficulty in deciding but
they considered themselves amply re-
warded by the congratulations of all
present.
The contest for the most popular
nurse closed at 8 O'Clock and resulted
in the victory of Miss Marie Brant-
ly with $50 votes, Miss Denman run
ming a very close second.
The special feature today will be
the Thanksgiving dinner from IL to 2
o'clock and this evening the contest
for the most popular undertaken will
close. Tomorrow at 8 o'clock there
will be euchre party.
