There is on exhibition at the coun-
ty fair few articles, in the form OF
relics OF the old time county fair when
held at Clarks Mills early in tie sew
enties. Mr.. VIM. Morgan is In posses
sion Of premium book Of fair held
In 1880. The premium book Is about
three inches by five inches and about
one-eighth of an inch thick. The otfic-
ers at that time were:
Il. S. O'Connell, President, Cato.
b. S. Lorigan, Vice President, Grimms.
W. II. Nelson, Secretary, Cato.
Christ Larson, Treasurer Cato.
w. II. Noble, Gen. Supt, Reedsville.
Hugh Morrison, Marshal, Manitowoc.
OF the Glove officers Mr.. Nelson so,
far as known, is the only man living
today.
The booklet contains the premiums
very similar to that OF the present day.
The premiums on stock ranging from
$3.50 to $500 and S4 90. Premiums on
oxen, fat cattle and others found in the
old list are not found Ia the present
list, showing that we have made the
great move from OK to the automobile
within the comparatively short time Of
about thirty years.
From the book it is also evident that
in those days there were but few pure
bred cattle or horses. All breeds of
cattle and horses were entered in the
same class. To-day we have pure bred
Guernsu-s, Holsteins, Jerseys, Short
Horns, etc.
In those days 1t was more customary
TO have an annual address, custom
highly commendable, but not general
ly followed today. The annual address
was delivered by Gen. +. S. Bragg,
Mr.. Morgan also exhibited in the cd
ucatlonal department OF the fair dip

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Last Thursday evening while at
tempting to board a rapidly moving
street car opposite the north side fire
station, Frank Chloupek, son of
County Judge Cbloupek of this city,
was thrown to the pavement and sus-
tanned three broken ribs, bruised
shoulder and other minor injuries
which will keep him confined to his
home FOR some weeks. Chloupek, who
is nineteen yeas of age, has for some
weeks been working for the street
railway company in the capacity OF
conductor on it's Two Rivers car.
Thursday evening he was off duty and
intended going to Two Rivers to at
tend 1he carnival which was on there.
When he reached the fire station on
his way down town the Two Rivers car
came along and the attempt to get on
it while it was in motion was the cause
OF the accident. Mr.. Chloupek was re-
moved to the home of his parents on
Michigan avenue and his condition has
been improving steadily.

HOMESTEAQING 40 ACRES.

William Meyer, Cato farmer, will
pay the United States Sl.25 per acre for
forty acres Of land which he thought
he owned for years. Not only that but
he will have to spend fourteen months
in shack on the land in order to Sc
cure title to it.
Meyer recently sold his farm CON
sisting of l20 acres to Reinhardt Rusch
who demanded an abstract. In making
the abstract Mgr. A. e. Schulze of the
Abstract company found that there
was no deed of the 40 referred to above
and that Meyer had no legal title.
Tracing the matter the Abstract Co.
found that the property had at one
time beer returned to the county de-
linqnent but it developed that at this
time, forty years ago, the land was in
the name of the United States govern
ment and that consequently the report
ing of the land as delinquent was ille-
gal, as government lands are not taxed.
AS result of the discovery, Meyer
was told that he had no title and that
the property was still government
land.
Atty. Isaac Cratic was retained by
Meyer and a ruling has just been re-
ceived from Washington holding that
Meyer to gain title to the forty acres
must homestead the property and pay
the governments price for the land,
Sl.2o per acre. Meyer started in last
week as homesteader.

DIAMOND PLEADS GUILTY.

Earle F. Diam ond, formerly secre-
tary of the loca! Boys Club, who was
arrested several weeks ago charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
tense and with forgery, pleaded guilty
in municipal court Friday and was CIV
en- sentence of two years at Waupun
by Judge Schmidt. Diamond had been
arraigned in court some weeks ago and
at that time asked for an adjournment
TO give him time to get together the
money with which to meet the obliga-
tions over which the trouble arose.
He succeeded in raising this
pmoney and hoped after the payment of
it that the charges against him would
be withdrawn, or at least modified. but
in this he was disappointed, for the
sentence meted out covers the charges
as originally made.
When Diamond came to court Friday
he was accompanied by A. P. Schenian
as his attorney and Mr.. Schenian made
a strong plea for clemency for his
client. He stated among other things
that he believed much of Diamond s
misfortune came through his marriage
to a woman in better circumstances
than he was financially, and his effort
to supply her With the luxuries to
which she had been accustomed before
her marriage. This situation caused
such drain On his finances that he
couldn't keep up the pace, and finally
resorted to illegal methods to get
money.
His wife has left here and is reported
to be with her parents in California.
Diamond was taken to Waupun to
begin his sentence Tuesday.

ARMY NEWS The reports from
Lees army are contradictory. One
statement is, that the advance towards
Fredericksburg was feint, and that
his forces have gone towards Rich.

statement is that Lee is advancing
along the Rappahnannock to Freder-
icksburg. Our scouts report that no
is making preparations for an early
campaign, and that an attack by him
is expected within short time, for
which emergency preparations are be-
ing made. A third statement places
strength of Lees army at less than
$4,000. The probability is, that moth
ing is known relative to his force or
his movements. Burnside's forces are
