Poison Develops From Burn.

Saturday afternoon last Mr.. and Mrs.
C. P. Blankenhorn left for Milwaukee,
where Mr.. Blankenhorn went for treat
ment for blood poisoning which had de-
veloped in his hand.
It appears that about week or ten
days previous he burned his hand and
since that time, despite treatment, the
injury grew rapidly worse, developing
blood poisoning. Last week it was
deemed most advisable for him to go to
hospital, whereupon both he and his
wife left for Milwaukee.
Thursday word was received that his
condition was quite serious. and that it
would be necessary to amputate at
least one of his fingers, if not more.
Fear was entertained concerning the
operation, owing to the weak condition
of his heart. Later reports state that
his condition is generally improved.

The Big Fair Of 1909.
Many Are Preparing TO Take In the
Event which Offers Pleasure
for Everyone.

Despite the fact that the old ex-
PRECISION Meet me at the Fair" and
the like are pretty well worn out,
nevertheless, it is being used to great
extent among the people Of this vicinity.
Nearly everyone is banking, from all
appearances, on attending the big church
Fair Of 1909 which is to take place in
the lOpera House next Thursday
evening. 1t is the most talked Of subject
in the home and social circles, and well
it may be, for everything so far points
to its being the greatest event of its
kind ever held in L'Anse.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Ladies' Aid society are few in number,
the work which has been accomplished
by them is wonderful and the amount
of material produced will have a
tendency to make the various booths
groan under their weight.
That there is to be big attendance
is assured from the numerous letters
received by the different ones interested,
from friends from outside towns, and
this coupled with the large number Of
local people will certainly tax the floor
space to its capacity.
The work of getting the building into
shape for the event, will be commenced
Tuesday and by Thursday noon every
thing will be ready for action.
New ideas in booth designs will be
developed, an entirely different arrange
ment of them will greatly enhance the
pleasure of the evening, as the society
has aimed throughout to get as far
away from the old time customs as
possible and give those who attend
something entirely new.
Daily rehearsals are being conducted
by those who take part in the various
special attractions and all promise great
enjoyment for the people.
Don't forget the date or place and
make sure that you are not counted
among the absent.

to be given Monday evening next.
The various committees report that
everything in connection with the event
is well in hand and that nothing has
been left undone to make the affair a
banner attraction.
The decorating committee has con-
ceived many new and novel ideas in this
part of the event and will begin their
work early. The supper committee re-
ports very favorably as to its doings
and promises many features in this line
which will be of great pleasure to those
who attend. The arrangement commit
tee has wasted no time in getting ev-
erything in such shape that no bitches
will occur in any part of the function,
and the music and floor committee
promises some great delights from this
source.
A number of invitations have been
extended to other departments and
their friends, and one of the biggest
crowds which has ever graced the
Opera House floor upon occasions Of
this kind is expected to be present.
