Milwaukee, Sept. every per-
son who attends the great State Fair
in this city next week, at o'clock
each afternoon, will see just how the
bird men fight each other up in the
clouds in the great European war.
Each afternoon, at the hour named,
biplane will be seen approaching
the fair grounds. The aviator hand
ling this machine IN due time will
spot" another biplane on the fair
grounds protected by artillery and
soldiers. AS soon as he gets the
range on the biplane located on the
fair grounds, he will begin to drop
bombs at this machine Artillery and
rifles will respond and notify him
that he will have to fight.
Then, the huge motor of the BIZ
plane on the fair grounds will begin
to hum, and up in the air will soar
the machine which the attacking ayi-
ator is attempting to destroy.
When the two biplanes are in the
air will be seen the battle in the sky,
the two aviators hurting bombs at
each other and using automatic guns

ing maneuvers.
While the fighting is going on
1000 feet above the crowds, soldiers
and artillery on the ground will con-
tinue to try to disable the attacking
aviator
Suddenly the thousands looking on
will be shocked as they see the mill
tary observer in the attacking biplane

earth. Soon after the attacking avi-
ator will be compelled to escape with
his disabled biplane, and the battle
Will be at an end.

Circus Business Poor.

Ringing Bros. and the Barnum &
Bailey circuses will close their sum-
mer season nearly three months ear
lier this year than ever before No
dates in the southern states will be
played by either of the two big cir
cuSeS.
According to reports the circus
business has been poorer this year
than in many years and business does
not warrant d continuance of the sea-
son. Aside from this fact the states
in the south are still under the foot
and mouth disease quarantine and no
animals can be taken into the states.
The two big circuses will close in the
state of Illinois on September 16 and
the other about week later

MILFORD DOINGS.

On Monday, September 6, this COM
nouncement of the death of Mabel Jes-
sic Gallup, which occurred at the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs G.
E. Gallup. The deceased was born in
the town of Milford on June II, 1889,
and was the youngest of five children.
She grew to young womanhOOd, TAX
ing great interest in church and Sun
day school work and took an active
part in the choir of the M. E. church,
of which she was organist for several
years.
The departed was of a mild, lovable,
unassuming disposition and was a
great favorite among her associates
Although she had been in delicate
health for some years, yet she was
comparatively we'll until few days
reconciled when death takes our loved
ones SO sudden and so young. 1t is
impossible to understand why they
should be called thus early to forsake
all their cherished hopes. But
Gods plans like lilies pure and
white unfold.
We must not tear the close shut
leaves apart
Time will reveal the chalices of gold
When tired feet with sandals
loosed may rest
Thus we shall clearly know and
understand,
Then we will truly say: God knew
the best"
The funeral services were held at
the home on Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock, the Rev. E. c. Potter of
Lake Mills, officiating. Words of COM
fort were based on John IA, 1-3. Mrs.
Walls of Lake Mills, sang a number
of beautiful selections. The floral Of
ferings were indeed beautiful and in
abundance. Interment was in Alta
Ian cemetery. The bereaved mour-
ners are assured of the heartfelt SYM
pathy Of all their acquaintance in
their grief, the pain of which only
time can soothe.

County Fair a Big Success.

tDeuuoCTdt, FOTL AtklHSOH.)
Good weather is always an essential
for a successful fair, and in this re-
spect the 1915 exhibition of the Jeffer-
son County and Rock River Valley
Agricultural Society was especially
fortunate. Every day was ideal, and
the great crowds that assembled gave
joy to the hearts of the officers of the
association.
Thursdays attendance was unques-
tionably one of the best in recent
years. Fully 1000 visitors took the
train from the local station, and many
hundreds made the trip via the auto
route. The crowd was estimated at
about $4,000
The exhibits in nearly all the de-
partments were large and varied, and
the list of attractions scheduled by
Secretary r. B. HELEN gave good sat-
isfaction, the star event being the
aeroplane flights.
A unique and new feature this year
was the fine exhibition of the products
manufactured by Jefferson county in
dustries, some of which showed ma
chinery in operation and the various
processes Of manufacture
The 1915 officers are as follows: A.
r. Hoard, president; VIM. Higgins,
vice president; r. B. HELEN, secre-
tary; Mrs. Chas. Troeger, assistant
secretary; w. S. Henry, treasurer;
j. H Winterling, marshal

Beaver Dam had arranged a game
with the lKosciuskos for the 18th of

has arranged no games whatever with
any teams in this state or any other
state and will not until the 1915 play

Duck Hunting is Poor.

The hundreds of hunters who sur
rounded Lake Koshkonong and ada

of the duck hunting, season were as
disappointed lot of nimrods as could
be imagined. While there appeared
plenty of game about up to Tuesday,
there was a noticeable absence of the
birds the day it was lawful to bag
them. Some are of the opinion that
the warm weather has sent the ducks
