MADISON, Wis, Aug. ia w. j.

afternoon elected president of the
Platteville Normal School by the

been in charge of the Platteville
school for the past five years and
previous to that time was for num-
Der of years. institute conductor at
the Stevens Point Normal. Before
that time he was superintendent of
schools at Sparta, Wis. and also at
Dodgeville. He displayed personal
interest in every student in the
school and for this reason all re-
GREETED the fact that he was forced
to give up his position.
w. j. Sutherland, the new presi-
dent, is we'll known In the education
al world, his word being quoted as
authoritative on Observation-Disclosures.
His energy and ability have brought

NAL school.

Fennimore's big Days. -

The drawing cards of the Fenni-
more Big Days were baseball games
between the Logan Squares and the
st. Paul Colored Gophers.
Before these games most of the
fans had figured that they would be
close and exciting but after the teams
had played an inning or two all
realized that the Gophers were far
out of their class, The Logans need
ed to exert themselves but little to
win both games
Thursdays game resulted in
score of to 1. The negroes were
unable to connect advantageously
with "Chick" Fraser shoots at any
time. Fraser is the we'll known
pitcher who was released by the Chi
cago Cubs this spring.
The Gophers, by no means put
up poor game but their playing was
not the kind that wins against such
an aggregation as the Logan Squares
The score of the first game PILLOWS:
r Fl E
Logan Squares O231OOO OO-16 10 l
Batteries: Fraser and McEnry' j.
Taylor and McMurray.
The second game was more inter
esting perhaps than the first. Manager
Callahan, formerly of the Chicago
White Sox pitched part of the game
for the Logan, Squares and did ex-
cellent work He also nit IN magni-
fcent style Barton, the centerfie lder
for the Gophers, did some spectac ular
playing in centerfeld.
Bobby Marshal was another of
the athletic world celebrities who
took part in these games. Marshall
was for several years an end on the
University of Minnesota football
team During his career on the grid
iron he was chosen several times by
football critics as member of diff
ferent ALL Western elevens. He is a

Obituary--Hannum.

Mr.. Rufus Hannum was born in
Cattaragus County, N. Y, on March
2nd 1920, and departed this life at the
home of his son-in-law. Mr.. John
IS. Williams, Westfeld. ILL.,, on
Thursday, Aug. 9Th. aged 80 years. 5
months and 3 days.
He was d representative of one OF
he oldest pioneer families in Grant
county, having resided there in
this county from 1887 until 1901,
when he removed to South Dakota. in
consequence of some real estate deals.
There were nine children in his
fathers family, eight of whom at
tanned mature years, and four of
whom survive him, viz: Mr.. Warren
Hannum, aged SO. Mrs Laura Kill
bourne aged 81, Mrs. Sophia Kill
bourne, aged n years. all of Lancas-
ter, Wis. and Mrs. Mary Howard, of
Mountain Home, Arkansas, aged rs
years.
In 1852 Mr.. Hannum was married
to Miss Louisa M. Powers, to whom
seven children we're born, four of
whom survive, viz: George and Frank,
of South Dakota. Mrs. ]. wilkins,
Westfield. ILL.,, and Mrs. Flora
Bonham of Champaign, Ill.
Mr.. Harnurn was always regarded
a successful farmer, for he took a
keen interest in agricultural purs uits.
He was the first man to import a
draft horse to Grant county, and was
the breeder of other blooded stock.
He loved horse, and if one wished
to incur his displeasure or forfeit his
right to a favorable opinion in the
mind of Mr.. Hannum. he had but to
treat horse unkindly and it was
accomplished.
He was industrious and never per-
mitted his hours to be spent in
idleness, but working with his
hands, he exercised his brain to wrest
from Mother Nature competence for
the future, and he was pre-eminently
successful.
A man of few words, of kindly
disposition, he never sought TO gain
foothold in the community by under
mining the character of another, or
to aggrandize himself at the expense
of another. In his tongue was the
law of kindness, and no one ever
heard him speak in derogatory terms
of another
He was ever economical, but never
parsimonious. His hand was extend
ed in friendly acts and liberal in con
tribution to meritorious enterprises.
His honesty was never questioned,
and although not of Scotch ancestry
he had the Scotch characteristics,
viz, that his word was as valuable as
his note. Once given, it was sure to
be redeemed. For those sterling
qualities of character, viz, honesty,
industry, conscientiousness. incor-
ruptibility, and fidelity to frie nds, he
won a host of friends, who will

True's Estimate Of State Crop.

In his August report Secretary
John NJ True says it is very difficult
to make close estimate of the con-
dition of crops, as whole, in the
state at the present time.
A sharp drought has prevailed over
most of the state during the last half
of July. but its severity and damag-
ing effects vary most decidedly, even
in approximately the same localities.
The most serious loss has occurred up
on light sandy soils, where the ex-
cessive heat has withered growing
crops and prematurely ripened grains.
Seldom has hay crop been secured
in such fine condition as during the
past season. Little damage was done
by rain, and most of the crops season
ably harvested.
Winter grains. spring wheat and
rye have been harvested, and ap-
parently maintain the estimate of
conditions made last month.
Barley and oats wese hurried in
ripening in many locations. and as
result both the quantity and quality
of this crop is more or less affected.
In most locations corn has made
rapid growth. and will make good
showing. Where the crop was not
we'll worked, or planted upon light
sandy soils, it has been badly
damaged. Early potatoes are not
large crop.
Tobacco is not making satisfactory
growth. Early set plants are blossom
ing without the usual development of
leaf, and late plants are at a stand
still. Sugar beets have maintained a
fair growth.
The excellent pastures of month
ago are gone, and in many parts of
the state farmers are feeding their
stock.
There is no occasion for despond
ency on the part of the farmer. Good
crops of hay. wheat and rye, fair
crops of barley and oats, with
chance. through timely RAIN, of saw
ing the late crops, do not represent
the worst conditions.
No crop report will be issued in
September on account of the state
fair.
Washington, August II. The
crop conditions of the United States
August 1, were in the aggregate
slightly higher than August l., 1908,
and moderately higher than the ten
year average of all crops on August 1.
In addition to the higher condition
the acreage of cultivated crops was
about 1.6 per cent greater then last
year. So says the general review of
the crop conditions issued yesterday.
Winter wheat, spring wheat, corn,
oats, rye, flax and grapes are better
then last year AMI the ten year aver
age; barley and potatoes better than
last year and the ten year average
barley and potatoes better than the
condition on August 1, last year but
slightly below the average condition.
Tobacco and sweet potatoes are better
than the average and lower than last
year The important crops below
both last year and the average condi-
tions are cotton, rice. hay, buckwheat
and apples,
