Family Pedierees.

Speaking to the students in an Eng
lishwomen's college, an educator said:
"Dig out all your family skeletons.
Your relatives will probably be annoy
ed, but dig them out and face them.
Make out your pedigree. tracing your
family back to your great-grandpar-
ents and their brothers and sisters.
By this means you can learn what
traits to avoid and what diseases to
guard against. 1t takes time, tact and
temper to hunt back to the record OF
ones family, but it is worth it. Two
men may seem the same, yet one man
may hand down disease and crime to
his descendants, while the other may
hand down only those qualities that
are good"

FORTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 49.
A GREAT FAIR
In Many Respects the Best Fair
Ever Held in Mineral Point.
A FINANCIAL SUCCESS
And Splendid Exhibition of Live
Stock, Art, Skill, and
Industry.

That the people of Southwestern Wis
consin are still deeply interested in in
dustrial exhibitions was attested last
week by the large attendance at the
fair in this city. In many respects it
was great fair Notwithstanding that
the past season has been very unfav-
orable one for farm crops. Industrial
hall was filled with exhibits which re-
fected credit upon those making them.
The fact that number of sheds had to
be built shows that the stock entries
were larger than ever before.
On the whole the management have
reason to be proud of the result of their
efforts to make the fair a success. The
orderly manner in which the program
was carried out was favorably COM
mented on by many visitors.
There were however some things con-
nected with the fair-but not Of it-that
can not be too severly condemned. It
is unnecessary to particulariZe in this
regard. Inc purposes or the talr are to
encourage things which make for good
citizenship; to furnish rightful enter
tainment for those who attend, and in
everyway to promote good fellowship.
Some entertainments were allowed on
the grounds which ought not to have
been there. 1t is to be hoped that in
the future stricter surveillance Of side
shows will be exercised.
Many old settlers say that the fair of
1910 was the biggest and best fair ever
held in Mineral Point, and good fairs
have been held here for over fifty
years.
The weather was providential The
rains fell and settled the dust and made
everything pleasant but did not inter
rupt the fair in the daytime,

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Frank Hentgen Instantly Killed
by Fall of Bridge Material.

We are in receipt of the Ambridge
Pa. Citizen of August II, in which is
given report of the instant death of
Frank Hentgen, formerly of this place.
He was foreman of one of the depart
ments of the shop which had in charge
some bridge work. The paper says:
"a small lift of channels was being
carried across the receiving yard on one
of the huge cranes, when without any
apparent cause or accident, or anything
happening to upset the load, it slipped
from the chains directly over the point
where Hentgen and Smith were stand
ing. The channels were pieces about 80
inches in length. Eight Of them struck
Hentgen, cutting and crushing so SER
iOusly as to cause instant death.
Mr.. Hentgen was 80 years of age, was
born at Mineral Point Wisconsin, came
here from the eastern part of the state
to work for the American Bridge Com
pany several years ago and resided in
Baden until about two months ago,
when he moved to Fair Oaks.
He was charter member of Am
bridge Aerie No. 365, F. o. E., also
member of the Knights of Saint George.
Knights of Columbus, Catholic Forest
ers and G.. M. B. A.
Another newspaper of Ambridge in
reporting the accident said:
Frank Hentgen was one Of the most
popular foreman in the bridge works
and was generally liked by all who
knew him. He is survived by a wife
and four children, one girl and three
boys, the eldest not yet seven years.
He was born at Mineral Point, Wis.
A father and two brothers and two
sisters reside at Milwaukee. The de-
ceased was consistent member of
st. Veronica's Catholic church, being
active in it's various societies holding
membership in the G. M. B. A., Knights
of St. George, Knights of Columbus,
the FOresters, and also member of
Ambridge Aerie, No. 1865, Fraternal
Order of Eagles.
Funeral services of the unfortunate
man were held at st. Veronica $ church.
Rev Father Thomas Walsh officiating
and burial made in the new Economy
cemetery. 1t was first intended to ship
the body to his old home in Wisconsin,
but brother who started for here was
hurt so badly in railroad wreck near
Chicago that he was unable to continue
the journey. A telegram was then
sent to bury here and another brother
came through on the flyer to attend the
funeral and assist the widow to look
after his affairs.

Early English Umbrellas.

Two centuries ago the umbrella was
known and used as a sunshade. Ben
Jonson and Beaumont and Fletcher al
luded to it. In 1912 it was used as a

which was recorded as a kind of SOU
wester material more serviceable than
gingham or silk, which was used in its
construction at that period.

DARLINGTON Business Men


to the number of about thirty came by
automobiles to Mineral Point on Wed
nesday evening of last week in the in
terest of their Big White Fair. Their
coming was expected the week before;
but the date was postponed on account
of the then very dusty condition of the
roads. But preparations had been made
for their reception. Numerous festoons
of electric lights were hung across the
street. On Wednesday representatives
of the Commercial club met them with
the band and escorted them up High
street; and speeches were made from
the band wagon in front of the club
rooms. Frank III. Fallon heartily well
coined the visitors and Robert Orton
spoke in behalf of Darlington.
Wednesday evening Mineral Point
was in the midst of activities on account
of the fair; but our citizens gladly laid
aside other duties and pleasures and
united in a proper welcome to the Wis
itors-a welcome which they highly
deserved, having with others at their
home in Darlington most Hospitality en-

business men tend to cement the bonds
of good fellowship. They are good.
