Visit Appreciated.

Livingston Cor. Lancaster Herald :;
Livingston S two Big Days are over
and Pins is happy; everything passed off
nicely. Thursday was the main day,
two good ball games were played and
resulted in a tie between Galena and
Dubuque, and ? in favor of Miffiin
against our home team. The Cuba City
band furnished excellent music. In the
afternoon a number of the business
men of Mineral Point in the interest of
the NJ. P. fair and accompanied by the
M. P. Band and Apollo Quartette,
spent an hour or more on the grounds
and furnished some excellent music;
this visit was appreciated very much,
and will no doubt be returned fair time
by a goodly number Of our people
1t is proper 10 add that Livingston
kindly received the visitors and the ad-
dress of welcome by Prof. John Watson
was pleasing feature of the occasion.

GoIImar Bros. This Season.

The Greatest Of American Shows 4.
Always an event Of more than passing
interest in that form Of entertainment
which appeals most generally to the
public, The Circus, and the Gollmar
Bros. this year bring it to its highest
expression. 1t is an accepted fact that
the exceptional and most artistic in act
and features has always held the ascen
dancy in their exhibitions and whatever
of novelty has been procurable has been
found in the program Of the Greatest
of American Shows from season to
season. And in 1906 this fact will be
most clearly noted for 'thrillers, new
enough, novel enough and sufficiently
daring to engender the highest emOtiO-
nal excitement has been secured. In
the arena new European families will
thrill, dazzle and delight the audience
in what is far and away the most sen
sationaI DANCE defying and expert
aerial act ever shown in America, close
ly calling the world renowned Flying
Nelson's, in their new casting, and re-
turn exercises in which those stocial
people gamble with destiny and dare
death in the performance Of deeds
which make the hazardous loop the
loop and loop gaps, with which
most readers are familiar, look by con
trast like parlor game Of ten pins.
There are over 100 new ring acts and
in feature and exercises the new Grand
Entrees will present magnificent
spectacle The hippodrOme will intro
duce scores Of new races and stunts
and 80 Of the most celebrated clowns,
jester and comiques will furnish side
splitting diversements for the entertain
ment of the audience. A magnificent
collection Of wild animals viii be on

PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
Dr.. IOhn e. Curry

died at the home of his parents in this
city at four o'clock on Wednesday
morning, Aug. II. He had been in
failing health for some time and his
death, although very sad, was not I'M
expected.
The deCedent was born in Mineral
Point on April 10, 1869. He attended
the public schools of the city. He
afterwards graduated from the North
western Dental College and had the
honor of being valedictorian of his
class. On October 3, 1896 he was united
in marriage to Miss Daisy Lynn, and
soon afterwards they removed to Cass-
vile. DR.. Curry established himself in
the practice of dentistry, and remained
in Cassville until January last, when
his rapidly declining health compelled
him to give up his work. In the hope
of being benefited by a milder climate
he went to New Mexico, his wife ac-
cOmpanying him. His hopes were not
to be realized, and they returned to the
home of his parents in May last.
The decedent was a man of high
character and citizen of whom any
place might be proud. He held the
offices of Junior and Senior warden in
Cassville Masonic Lodge, and was for
two years Patron of the Eastern Star of
that place. He had wide acquaint
ance, and all who knew him were his
friends. He leaves to mourn their great
loss, his wife, his parents (Mr. and
Mrs. w. N. Curry, and his only sister
(Mrs. Cameron Dancey.)
The funeral will take place tomorrow
at $50 o'clock under the auspices of
Mineral Point Lodge No. 1, F. & A. M
The religious services at the home will
be conducted by Rev. w. j. G. Bond.

Great Alteration Sale of Pianos

Hundreds of fine new pianos, forming
a part of Lyon & Healy's magnificent
stock, have got to be removed from the
third floor of their building at the cor
ner of Wabash Avenue and Adams
Street, Chicago, because of putting in
new flooring. In order to dispose of the
pianos with greater facility, extraOrdin-
arily low prices have been affixed.
These figures are phenomenally low.
Lyon & Healy are making determined
effort to close out this great stock Of
instruments within the next few weeks
50 that the carpenters may pursue their
work unhampered, and the prices have
been reduced with this abject in view.
Send for copy of list of bargains. If
you do not wish to pay all cash for a
piano you can arrange for monthly pay
ments. Or make visit of inspection
some day soon.
Lyon & Healy exhibit the largest
and most varied stock of pianos in the
world-over ZOO instruments. (2)

The team attached to the United
States Hotel bus had an exciting runa-
way down High street about noon
on Monday. The tongue, which is a
loose one and bolts into a groove, slip
ped backward and shortened up 50 that
the team could not hold back the bus
which was headed down hill. This
frightened the horses and they ran away
down the street. The boy who was
driving finding out that he could do
nothing towards holding the horses
jumped and saved himself. The hind
wheels Of the rig became detached at
the corner Of High and Vine streets
but the front wheels and top stuck to
the team until they were stopped near
the depot.
The west bound freight on the G. M.
& St. P railway was ditched about two
miles east Of Darlington on Saturday
morning. A burned out culvert caused
the wreck When the engineer saw the
danger it was to late to stop the train
so he did not check the speed but shot
the engine forward over the culvert.
The tender broke off and fell into the
culvert and the freight cars piled up on
top of it, No one was seriously in
jured; but there was large loss in
wrecked cars and in perishable freight.

depend not merely upon its reservoir. and

the forest service does its duty. The preser-
walton of the national forests is vital to the
fulf1llment Of the national irrigation policy.
In the conservation of water used for the
development Of power through electricity, az
well as for irrigation. lies another great func-
tion of the national forests, whose importance
Is only beginning to be generally realized. In
the regulation of the development of this
power within national forests, through the
Willmar tribune., 1909-10-27

leasing Of power sites without passage Of title
to the user, through charge for the occu.
pancy and use Of these sites ana through rigid
provisions against combination and monopoly,
the forest service is effectively safeguarding,
within national forests, the interests of the
American people, whose property these water
powers are. Herein lies the greatest public
service which the forest service is rendering.
The standing timber in the national forests,
which is alone sufficient If it were cut clean
to meet all the needs of the nation for 10
years, is of less value than the sites for the
development of water power, whose useful
ness these forests conserve. The complete
destruction of this timber by fire would be far
less grave than for the power sites within ma
tional forests to pass into unregulated corpo>
rate ownership or control
The power of the immediate future is wa
ter power. The trust Of the immediate future
is the power trust, if nation, state and citizen
fail to do their utmost. In some regions this
trust is already firmly intrenched. In others
