not made here

BOOSTERS VISIT LADYSMITH
About Two Hundred olive Wires
From Chippewa Falls Here
Wednesday

A booster excursion" from Chip
pewa Falls brought about two hun
dred of the Give wires" of that city
here Wednesday in special train
furnished by the 500 Line.
The excursionists marched up town
from their train headed by their own
fine band and after the latter had
played few selections on the
streets the parade broke up for din
ner, half of the party being accom-
modated at the Baker Hotel and the
other half at the Gerard.
The excursionists remained here for
about an hour after dinner which
time was spent in visiting the vari-
Gus business establishments of the
city and in getting acquainted.
Such an excursion provides fine
outing for the business men of a
city and is a most effective form of
advertising.
Come again, gentlemen!

SPARKS CIRCUS PLEASES

Sparks "Worlds Famous Shows
Pleased large crowds here Monday
in spite of the stormy weather that
deferred many from coming.
AS usual, all were pleased with the
fine performance given by this pop
ular organization and the show fully
lived up to it's previous reputation
FOR being one Of the cleanest and
best shows on the road.
The show is somewhat larger this
year than last, carrying more ami
mails and using larger tents.
A new main top" was used here
for the first time. Their previous
main tent was recently destroyed in
& bad wind-storm in Minnesota and
a new one was ordered which was
shipped to them at Ladysmith. Fol
lowing the destruction of the old one
the circus showed in a canvas en-
closure without top for four days
and rented tent was then used
until the show reached Ladysmith.

Patmont Says He is Well

Patmont, the much missing man
who escaped from 500 Line train
last week, has been heard from. His
parents, who live in Milwaukee, have
received a letter from him, in which
he says he is we'll and tells them
not to worry. The postmark on the
letter, however, was SO blurred that
neither the date nor the place at
which it was mailed can be dis
cerned. The postal authorities have
been asked if they can ascertain at
what place the letter was mailed
Stevens Point Journal.
Patmont was seen and recognized
at Minneapolis recently, according to
reports from reliable source.

A Runaway

Two sons of Poland much the
worse for liquor, on their way home
from Sparks circus Monday evening
attempted to pass teams with their
horse and buggy while on the run.
The dangerous feat was accomplished
several times before they collided
with the farm wagon of w. S. Kutt,
which was loaded with cream cans
and small boys on their way home
from the show. The result was the
two men were thrown under their
buggy and somewhat bruised and
narrowly escaped the wheels of the
heavy farm wagon. Their horse ran
several miles and was caught by
Frank Ryall at his home.

Workmen of a 500 bridge crew en-
gagged in dismantling an old bridge
and putting in piles across creek
near Colfax, says the Chippewa Falls
Herald, discovered a bottle contain
ing an ounce and a half of nitro
glycerine Saturday morning. 1t was
a lucky discovery for if one of the
heavy piles had dropped on it, there
probably would have been serious
explosion. Part of the pile driving
equipment was on the bridge when
the discovery was made. The bottle
was hidden under one of the ap-
proaches of the bridge. 1t perhaps
may have been hidden there by
bank robbers From appearances of
the bottle it had been there for some
time and the one who had left it
had never gotten back to use it. The
bottle and it's contents were carefully
disposed of. One of the men who first
saw it had a notion to strike it with
his shovel. But when he found out
what it contained he thanked his
lucky stars that he hadn't.

Lightning struck the residence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. o. G.. Adams early
Monday morning, going down the
chimney and entering a room in
which one of their boys was sleeping.
No one was injured, but the boy was
covered with SCOT, and the room
looked more like a coal mine than a
bedroom. The only damage done to
the building was the knocking off of
a portion of the chimney.
Frank Gay left today for Devils
Lake, N D., where he expects to
spend a coeuple of months.
Flunker Bros. have started the
erection of a fine residence on their
farm three and one-half miles north
west of this city.

The boys with whom he was bathing
were Curtis Tate, o. c. Jordan and
Paul Parnow, and as young Jordan
could not swim he followed around
the other boys in shallow water. For
some reason he went down, and his
companions soon located him by
UuUUlGS Ou tuG WdLCl WucIC uC Acu
sunk. They brought ihm to the suf
face after he had been in the water
but short time, but efforts to re-
vive him were of no avail.

son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Jordan
was born at Valley, Vernon county
Wisconsin on October 10, 1892. He
died at Thornapple, Rusk county

From all indications, the State
Fair at Milwaukee September IA to
18th, is going to be Of new interest
to upper Wisconsin counties. The
Committee of the upper wisconsin
counties headed by R. H. Beebe,
chairman, of Ashland, are planning
on county display that will be a
further demonstration of the supre-
macy of the clover country.
If, as now planned, twenty-five to
thirty of the upper Wisconsin coun-
ties exhibit at the State Fair, and
among these Rusk County, it is
very necessary that We be up and
doing if we are to retain the posi-
ton as we now have, at the top of
the agricultural counties of the
group. Last year we had no trouble
in securing the Blue Ribbon at the
North Wisconsin State Fair on our
county display; it will be well tc
remember though that we had in
competition but four northern coun
ties, where we will have possibly
thirty this year.
So far as the southern Wisconsin
counties are concerned, we need have
no worry, this may also be said tc
apply to our near competitors Of the
north if we but give the matter due
consideration. Every town in thu
county should have a town displa.
at the county fair, every farme
should have an individual display AM
each and every citizen in thte coun
ty should join in making himself
Committee of one to provide suitabl
, agricultural exhibits for this purpose
The Rusk County Fair is to b.
held September Sth, 9th, 10th AM

this year and ask the citizens Q

To Theo. Spiegelberg belongs the
distinction of bringing in the first
cucumbers to the new picking sta
tion established here by d. J. Wittig

to bring in cucumbers this week.
Some of the farmers are making the
mistake of letting their crop get too
large. The larger they are the small
er is the price paid for them and
when they commence to turn yellow
in ripening or get too large they are
rejected.
