the STATE FAIR.

AS September rolls around each yeal
and the annual State Fair becomes the
topic in agricultural and industrial
circles, the oft repeated phrase this
| years State Fair will be greater thar
any ofits predecessors" sounds familiar
to those interested, to certain eX-
tent this statement has been true each
year, but in lettering some depart
mems or some features of the
states big educational and agricultur-
al institution in the past, other features
and departments have been neglected.
The 1911 State Fair has been organiz-
ed to the point when the "greater than
ever" phrase becomes permissible.
The State Board of Agriculture has
gone at this years fair more deliberate
ly and on broader principles thsa here
tofore and as a result the grain grow
ing farmer, the dairy farmer &ad the
beef breeding farmer will find some
thing in every minutes time sp Mt at
the fair in Milwaukee, September II
to l6, that will compensate him many
fold for the time and expense indulged
in during visit to the states agri-
cultural show.
The State Horticultural Society will
demonstrate to the landseeker that
Wisconsin offers better apple grow
ing field than any of the western
states. In tent separate from the
regular horticultural exhibits, Secre-
tary Cranefeld of the State Horticul-
tural Society will make an exhibit OF
apples grown in Wisconsin for the
commercial market. In this apple
show, the first of its kind to be held in
Wisconsin, there will be more than
300 exhibits of bushel or barrel of
apples of every variety grown in the
state.
The State Fair Board, through its
special attraction committee, will pro-
vide a variety of entertainment for the
visitor to the Fair. One of the at
tractive features for every day of the
Fair will be an exhibition of the pro-
gress of aeronautics. There will be
shown at one time in the air the
familiar hot air balloon with it's para
chute jumper; the dirigible balloon,
steered 10y its engineer into and across
the winds, and the aeroplane, the latest
and most sensational "heavier than
air" device invented for aerial navi-
cation. These aerial devices will be
in operation in front of the grand
stand at the same time every afternoon
and evening.
TheSwomUn Of Wisconsin are 10 cone
into their own during State Fair and
one of the days of Fair week will be
turned over to them, during which a
programme, in which man can only be
a listener and onlooker, will be rem
dered.
Another event that will be new will
be Military Day, Saturday, Septem-
ber l6, when as many of the state
troops as can be mobilized on the Fair
grounds will be gathered there. 1t is
the intention of the Military Day COM
mttee to have the three arms of the
state militia, the infantry, cavalry and
artillery represented in the maneuvers
and to enhance the Importance of the
military undertaking the State Board of
Agriculture has petitioned the Secre-
tary of War to assign detachments of
the three branches of the regular army
from FIT. Smelling and FIT. Sheridan to
cooperate with the state troops in en-
acting sham battle.

A TRIBUTE FOR JUDGE BAENSCH.

In "The Lake Michigan Breeze"
published for the State Press Associa-
tion by the Evening Wisconsin, Gill
Vandercook tells few things about
newspaper men of the state. lie pays
the following tribute to Judge Baensch
of this city:
"It took Governor Baensch many
years to find the true philosophy o. life,
and having found it, he is just the
same sort of man to us of the Associ-
alton. Do any of US know how really
rich he is? We have no reference to
the fact that he is president of trust
company. That achievement is possi-
bic to dozens of men of wealth and con-
nections. The Governors wealth is
something beyond all this, something
that money can't buy. The love and
respect of his community and of his
state. The measure of this is content
ment in place of strife; the complacen-
cy of conscious well being and of doing
well. Some day history will be writ
ten about the Germapic influence upon
Wisconsin and in its pages will be
found great glowing, illuminated
chapter with Governor Baensch as its
subject. Have any of you ever gone
into the sacred precincts of his libraryi
If you have not, you don't know the
man and to know the man is to know
er view of Baensch through his books,
for in this, he has been one of the rob
ber barons, taking much of what is
best from all time and reducing it to {
modernized philosophy of every da,
life and good and true citizenship"

county were blown down.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

SHABBY CoNDUCT-By letters from
some of the Manitowoc Guards, now
in Madison, we learn that the soldiers
of the Fifth Regiment feel great dis
satisfaction at the food furnished them
by the authorities, and that rumpus
in camp few days since on this ac-
count had the effect to improve the
state fodder. 1t is also reported that
on the occasion of the parade on the
4th, they were obliged to pay citizens
of Madison for the water they wanted
to drink.

THE CROPS-Farmers from all parts
OF the county inform us that the grow

BATTLE NEAR CARTHAGE, MISSOURI
just as we were going to press last
week we received and published an ac-
count of battle near Carthage, Mis-
souri,, between the L. S. forces and the
confederate troops under Gov. Jackson.
The report of the conflict was so blind
that it was impossible for us to desig-
nate the victors or vanquished, and we
regret that up to the present time we
have not been enlightened in any
further particulars, except that the
rebel forces numbered only 800 in
stead of 10000 as was stated by the
very reliable telegraph.
Col. Solomon, who reigned conspic-
uousiy in the battle, as Z. S. officer,
is brother of Fred Solomon, Esq, a
former resident of this village, and
Chief Engineer of the Manitowoc and
Mississippi railroad. Fred Solomon
was also present as captain OF com
pany in his brothers. regiment, and we
doubt not acquitted himself with
credit. He has hundreds of friends
here who will always rojoice in his
success.
The colonel and captain are broth
ers-in-law of our fellow citizens, Messrs
Chas. Hottelman and Fred Rudolph
and both are relatives of Mr.. Charles
keuhn. Mr.. Hottelman bas five rela-
tives holding distinguished positions in
the army.

turned south at the Methodist church,
ran west two blocks, north to Third

The wheat market struck a new
low point Monday when May options
sold at 90l cents, 22S cents below a
year ago. In face of the grt at decline
of the last two months, there Is at
this time nothing in the Legitimate
| situation to induce Spectators &c
take hold of the bull side. The May
price is the lowest it has been for four
years. A temporary reaction may
take place at any time, but it will be
good for only a few cents, and vii
not last long. The Missouri state
report places the estimate for their
crop at 100000 bushels, a good
crop. Reports generally from the
winter wheat districts are to the effect
that crop conditions are the best in
years, which fact, coupled with an in
creased acreage, gives the bulls nc
hope at all. There is nothing par leu
larly strange about the present leve
of prices; it is practically the first time
in four years that there has been NJ
speculation in the wheat market
