For the first time an election in
Germany has been held up by a woman.
A baroness in WestphaIia was entitled
to cast a proxy vote at a municipal
election. Finding that her name had
been left off the register, the baroness
protested. The election was held and
she appealed to the law. The courts
ordered that the election be held over
again so that the baroness could vote.

Monday morning our townsman, Mr.
Chas, Nj. Cox. received the sad new:
by telegram that his son William hac
been accidentally killed in Milwaukee.
Mr.. Cox and his son Fred departed for
the scene of death on the afternoon
train without further particulars. In
the Free Press of Tuesday appeared
the following;
The body of VIM. Cox, an employe
of the Allis-Chalmers company, Mil
waukee, was found along the tracks of
the c. M. & st. p. near the state fair
part Monday morning by his wife's rel
atives, also employees of the Allis-Chal-
mers company. Cox had left his home
as usual that morning to SO to WORK
1t is supposed that he was struck by a

Later particulars by letter state that
Mr.. Cox had registered at the works at
about 8 O'Clock Sunday evening before

THE FIRST" AND THE BEST" FAIR
Held in Mineral Point as Usual. This
Year August l7-1S-l9-20.

Look at your calendar and you'll find
that in two weeks from the time you
read this the first" and "best" fair
for 1909 will be among the past events.
First, because it is the first held of
all leading fairs of the northwest.
Best, because that for fully thirty
years Mineral Point)has held the thirty
best fairs 81 any ASSOCIATION in the
state, with ths possible exception of
the state fair. Fair history justifes the
application of "best, not only from
the excellence of the elaborate pro-
gram and fullfillment thereof to the let
ter, but from financial standpoint,
both as to liberality and the payment of
every obligation to the cent.
With such a grand record has not the
Mineral Point fair association won the
title best, especially when there is
not another similar association in the
northwest that equals its record for
merit and stability?
Every effort is being put forth to
have this years fair equal at least to
the best ever held in Mineral Point.
All are welcome. Those who attend
will have no occasion for regret through
any shortcoming of the management.
