A SUCCESSFUL FIELD DAY

The fifth annual Mineral Point Field Day held in
this city on Thursday, June II, was largely at
tended, and under perfect weather conditions
good program was carried out. Two ball games
and five races entertained the crowd.
In the first ball game Dodgeville won out
Waldwick and Mineral Point triumphed over Lin
den IN the second game.
In the first inning of the Mineral Point Linden
game the local team gathered in six scores. From
that time the contest almost ar-tight, the
final score being to 2. The contest was spirited,
and of the customary features of Linden
Mineral Point contests were lacking.
The racing program not featured by any
startling performances. The best exhibition of
the day was the race between the two local horses
Maxwell and Mrs. Bozwell who raced in remark
ably good form for this time of the year, and made
good time, covering the the last half mile of the
final heat at 2:16 rate
Thomas Gugerty of Belmont gave satisfactory
service in the capacity of starting Judge at the
races while James Knight umpired the baseball
games with enthusiasm, Judgment and discretion
The Mineral Point Band played upon the
streets and at the fair grounds throughout the day
and gave the usual satisfaction.
The Field Day has become fixed institution
here and always affords day of good clean sport
and chance for meeting old friends and making
financial success.

Deep Pit Torn in Earth by Gas
Eru pfIon

Quite remarkable earth eruption
occurred near Sinton, Texas, recently,
after gas had been struck at depth of
1900 #. at new we'll which was being
sunk. When the stratum holding the
gas was reached by the drill, the casing
that lined the bore was blown for a
considerable distance into the air by
the terrific force of the flow. For ap-
proximately three weeks the we'll re-
mained uncapped and the gas shot out
in great volumes. Then without warn
ing, hole rs ft. in diameter and ex-
tending presumably to the bottom of
the original we'll, was blown in the
earth. Almost Immediately this fssure
was filed, to within 100 feet of the
surface, with boiling water. ALI the
well drilling machinery disappeared in
the great pit.-From the July Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

A Warninu to Girls.

The Milwaukee road is posting large
signs of warning in their stations ad :
vlsing young girls not to 70 west to the
San Francisco fair with the expectation
OF securing work there. They point
out that every good position is taken
and that there are now a half dozen
applicants on file for every position in
the est. They refer to the pitfalls
that await the young and unaccom-
panied girl and earnestly advise none
to go west alone. This is in line with
the warning of some months ago issued
by a woman's organization of San
Francisco to the same effect but along
much more detailed and convincing
manner.

ENTERED INTO REST


Mrs. Eliza Wefer Martin was born
February II, 1848, and yielded up her
spirit to God June II, 1915; being 81
years, 4 months and 6 days of age. In
the month of November, 1880, she was
united in marriage to Mr.. John Martin
in Idaho City, Idaho; and three years
afterwards, in 1883, they came here
and settled ON their present farm home,
on the Linden road, within sight of
this city.
With the husband and father a
son and daughter mourn their loss,
namely, Mr.. Arthur Martin of Mineral
Point, and Mrs. Clarence Wetter of
Tiffin, Ohio.
Mrs. Martin was woman of retiring
nature and found her most inviting
field of activity in the home with her
family. The comfort and we'll being of
her husband and children was the dom
inant ambition of her daily life.
Though of a frail constitution, which
in the later years of her life became
more manifest. her ministeries in the
home were wrought unremittingly
under the inspiration of quenchless
love. For some time it had been evil
dent to her friends that natures forces
were lessening in their strength; and
her increasing weakness became
source of anxious thought to her family.
Several weeks ago her daughter came
from her home in Tiffin to tenderly
care for her mother. But despite all
that could be done by her friends and
her physician, the vital spark gradually
faded and at last expired as her spirit
passed on to God who gave it. She
was true Christian and died in the
blessed hope of everlasting life.
The funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon, with services at the family
home and interment in Graceland.
Rev. w. j. G. Bond, pastor OF the First
Congregational Church. officiated.
Among those present at the funeral
were Mrs. George Miller, Massilon,
Ohio; Mrs. Rebecca Miller, Chicago;
and Mr.. and Mrs. William Penberthy,
Beloit.

NEWS FROM NORTH DAKOTA
Fast Becoming State of Diversified
Agriculture; Crop Conditions Are
Coed; Fine School Buildings.
BY r. III. BECKERLEG

Richard H. Beckerleg, a good citizen
whom the town of Mineral Point lost
to Edgely, North Dakota, few years
ago, writes The Democrat the follow.
ing interesting letter:
Dear Editors Democrat: After long
time l am going to write you few
lines, just to let you know that we are
still on top of the ground, and expect
to stay here the rest of the year, and
longer if we can.
We are all well, (that is the best
thing on earth, is good healthy and
have plenty to eat, with good
prospect for great crop this year,
which bope will mature without harm
to it. The weather was ideal for planting
small grain, then we had lots of rain,
and it was colder not being the best
for corn but we cannot have the best
kind of weather for small grain, and
corn at the same time; and as this is
principally a wheat country, perhaps
it will be best as it is. Yet there is
lots Of time for corn now, as there is
enough sand in the soil for the sun to
warm it up and force the corn to grow
fast.
There is an abundance of moisture irf
the soil, and shower or two little
later on, and everything will come out
right side up. Many of the farmers are
planting corn and raising hogs that
never did before. They are planting
alfalfa on nearly every farm; and if
properly treated it seems to do well.
Lots of silos are going up and the
country is rapidly changing from
grain raising to a general farming
state. L do not think there is any
place where hogs or poultry can be
grown any cheaper, or more easily,
than right here in North Dakota; and
stock raising is bound to help the
farmers out.
Since wrote you last we have built
a nice consolidated school in our town
ship, at a cost of about $500 with
steam heat and full basement. 1t is
32x64 with three rooms beside the
basement. 1t is a very fine building,
and is arranged so we can throw all
three rooms together, by the use of
roller partitions. l am one of the school
directors, only my time will be out
next month, did not want it longer.
The old Mineral Pointers here are all
well as far as know. Perhaps some
of you rich people back there that do
not go to Europe this year will take an
automobile trip through the west,-to
Yellowstone Park, perhaps. If so, and
you go by way of the Yellow trail to
Aberdeen, take the branch trail there
and go to Jamestown, N. D., and
strike the Red Trail. as I hear that is a
better road than west from Aberdeen,
and stop in and get drink on the way,
as the trail runs right in front of our
door. We would like to see any old
and you can take rest.
Inclosed find check for $3.50 for the
Democrat. With regards to all old
friends, remain,
Yours very truly,
r. 81. BEcKERLEG.
