OLD SETTLERS MEET

The meeting of the St. Croix Val
ley Old Settlers Association was
held this year at Hudson on Thurs
day last. A goodly number went
out on the train from River Falls.
The Hudson people met the delega-
ton with large committee and es-
corted them to the Armory, where
the exercises were held.
At ten o clock Hon. S. ]. Bradford,
the president, called the meeting to
order. At this time the hall was
filled, and to fully two hundred the
right to the title of "Old Settlers"
came from having been residents of
the St. Croix Valley prior to 1862
The program was an excellent one.
Addresses of welcome were given
by Mr.. Utman, mayor of the city,
and Mr.. F. ]. Carr, president of the
Board of Trade. The response was
given by Judge Weld of Pierce
county. The musical part of the
exercises was exceptionally fine and
appropriate. The principal address
was given by Prof. Sumner Farms
worth, formerly of Pierce county,
but now residing in St. Paul, Mimi.
A large number of the visitors
were invited to lunch by the hos
pitable citizens of Hudson.
In the afternoon the business
meeting was held, at which the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Pres
ident, o. ]. Williams of New Rich
mond; LIST Vice-Pres., A. P. Weld of
River Falls; End Vice-Pres., D. ].
Dill of Prescott; 3rd Vice-Pres., c.
G. Knowles of River Falls; Secre-
tary, Robert Dinsmore of Hudson;
Treasurer, Grin Lord of Ellsworth.
A camp fire was held after the
regular business had been trans
acted and speeches were made by
several of the Old Settlers.
At about five p. m. the meeting
adjourned. All had enjoyed the
occasion immensely.
While the gathering was not as
large as at some former times, it
seemed to carry out the idea of the
formation of the Association, viz: to
bring old friends together to renew
the recollecsions of their more
youthful days.
The organization of the gather
ing was remarkably successful in
all its details. Everything went
off smoothly and nothing occurred
to mar the pleasure of the day. We
understand that the burden of the
work was taken up by the Board of
Trade, and certainly its committee
deserve much praise for the able
manner in which the work was done.
Resolutions thanking the citizens
of Hudson for their hospitality and
commendatory of the occasion were
passed at the meeting. The fixing
of the date of meeting for next year
was left with the committee on ar
rangements.

Mother Goose and Red Riding
Hood

With the Greater Norris and Rowe
circus, museum, menagerie, hippo
drome and congress of nations
which will exhibit in this city Satur-
day, July s, afternoon and night,
are the greatest number of clowns,
testers, pantaloons, buffoons,
zaneys, Yorick's and funny fellows
in general, ever assembled with any
tented organization in the history of
the amusement business. One will
encounter big, fat clown made up
to resemble Little Red Riding
Hood, another to represent,
Simple Simon" and so on
through the long list OF nursery
rhymes. AEsop's fables have been
called upon to furnish material for
these funny fellows. Little plays
are enacted everywhere around the
large hippodrome track constantly.
" Foxy Grandpa" the "Katzeniam-
mers," Happy Hooligan, /" Merry
Nat" the fat policeman, and all Of
the familiar, funny characters will
be seen in tifty-seven varieties.
These clowns are clever lot of fell
lows, too. They receive large sal
aries for the display of foolishness
that they are constantly engaged in.
Take that funny pantomine clown
for instance, Toto Ducro, who re-
presents "Old Mother Goose"
astride of property horse, Ducro
receives a salary Of $500 per week
for his part of the fun. His latest
creation, entitled the Rabbit Hunt"
in which little dog is made up to
resemble rabbit, is one of the most
deliciously funny creations ever pre-
sented to the public. 1t is intense
ly clever and artistic too, and Ducro
does some of the cleverest pantomine
work seen in many day in this
little sketch. There are thirty-eight
clowns with the Greater Norris and
Rowe circus this season. Among
them being men who have appeared
in every land making people laugh.
This Glowing BUSINESS with a big
circus is funny, yet never coarse.
1t is harmless fun, and the old enjoy
it as we'll as the young. Where is
the child that will not remember the
clown of the circus, always? Dur
ing the run of the Greater Norris
and Rowe circus in San Francisco
this spring 279, 1873 persons paid adj
mission to the big show This is
the greatest number of people that
ever assembled in a period of thirty
days to a circus performance in the
west. The press of the city were
unanimous in their praises of the
new big show and the clowns were
especially commended for their
cleverneSS.

LIME RoCK-MILLERToN

The spell of the hoodoo having been broken by Lakeyills, Millsrton repeated the trick last Saturday by defeating Lime Rock by the score of 2-1. It was one of the best games of the season, the pitching being of high order, especially that of Hughes for Millerton who pitched a no-hit game. The only SCOT ing was done in the third and fourth innings. In the third the Hyhens scored on errors. A batted ball to oen- ter field was caught and thrown to first to catch a man who had gone on to second. The throw went wild and the first bassman, when he got it, throw to third, wild again, and the runner went home, although the decision at home was a close one. Nillerton made their two runs in the foarth. Casey was first to bat and singled, Brown thsn hit to left and the ball being lost in the long grass he made home run and brought in Casey. Traver then made a triple over center field but was caught between third and home. The next two men went out and this ended the scoring for the game. The feature was the pitch ing of Hughes. In one inning he struck out three men on 10 pitched balls and no called strikes. He struck out the last seven men to bat and, as mentioned above, did not allow single hit. The only possible hit was one made to third ] Al I.,.n .s and struck Traver in the eye. This, however, is properly called an error, not a hit

OILING THE ROADS

Highways so Treated are Dustless,
 Mudless and Noiseess.
 In every state there is annually spent millions of dollars in building new roads. In few cases is any considerable sum spent on the roads to preserve them. Oiled roads are not only dustless, mud less and noiseless, but they are practi- cally self healing is, they im- prove with use. The dirt and oil roads give horses good footing, while the tires of the vehicles iron out the hoof marks.
 Experiments made on Kansas City boulevards and on roads in Jackson county, which were coated with oil, have been watched by men and Organi- cations interested in good roads. The use of oil on boulevards and roads in Jackson county was among the earlier experiments in it's use. Adopted for use to prevent dust, it was found that oil also is preservative. In his report to the board of park commissioners on the use of oils on Kansas City boulevards, W, H. Dunn, superintendent of parks, said the results were remarkable.
 Good roads naturally are a rural pro- blem. In the cities no progress can be made unless the thoroughfares used for business and pleasure are paved and maintained in good condition. Country towns are concerned as much with good roads as are the farmers who use them In country towns business practically is at 8 standstill in rainy seasons. Bad roads keep the farmers at home. If the farmers had fit thoroughfare to the village he could do his trading on days when he could do no task in the fields. It Is far more desirable that the farmer should visit his nearest town in the rainy season than at any other time, as the commodities he has to sell command the highest prices when rain keeps hlm at home.
 With proper construction and the use of oil as a binder for dirt and macadam roads the farmers virtually may have asphalt roads past their homes, declare advocates of this method of road con- struction.
