ANOTHER GOOD FAIR
SIND Annual of the Mineral Point Fair Association on
Par with its superintendent Predecessors.
LIVE STOCK DISTINCTLY SUPERIOR
Display of Great Merit from Field and Garden-Fowers
Fine Art, Culinary Richness Never Better.
SpeciaI Attraction Good, Base Ball Bum, Racing Fair

The fifty-second annual Mineral Point
fair, held in the city last week, goes
down in history as superior in some
ways to its sparkling predecessors
that of live stock in particular.
As usual the premiums offered in all
departments were liberal, which was a
prime reason for the large number of
exhibits, but the fact that consider
ate Providence played helpful part
should not be overlooked.
1t is the unanimous verdict that the
live stock of all kinds was superior to
that exhibited at any previous fair
that no section Of this great nation can
show any better. For this steady adj
vancement in the quality of livestock
in this section our liberal and "old re-
/ liza ble" fair association is entitled to
| the bulk of credit.

new COUNCIL IN
VIRGIN ISLANDS
Old Colonial Council of St
Thomas Is Dissolved by
Admiral Kittelle.

CHARLOTTE AMALIA, S. THOM-
AS, " l., Nov. 8.-Differences OF
opinion arising over a council com
mittee report on a new judiciary
bill have caused political situation
in the Virgin Islands which is caus-
ing considerable amount of local
comment.
The situation became SO acute
early last month that Rear Admiral
Sumner E. w. Kittelle, retiring
Governor of the Islands and per-
scnal representative OF the Presi-
dent of the United States, issued a
proclamation dissolving the Colonial
Council of ST. Thomas and st. John
and announcing that elections would
be held for the selection OF new
council members. Admiral Kittelle,
who had been ordered back to sea
duty as commander of the destroyer
division of the Atlantic Fleet before
the differences arose, will be sue
ceeded in the Virgin Islands by
Captain II. H. Hough, U. s. N.
The chief cause of the misunder-
standing seems to have arisen over
a paragraph in the council COM
mittee report concerning the judi
ciary, which was submitted late IN
August. The section to which Gov
ernor Kettelle took exception was
as follows:
We do not deem it advisable for
one judge to sit and determine ap-
peal cases passed upon by CO.
ordinate Judge. 1t is to be expected,
and we know it is the practice for
judges OF coordinate rank to sus-
tain each other. and especially
would this be true here where each
Judge would be sitting on the
others cases. We are afraid 1t
would resolve itself into demon
stration of the old adage-'You
scratch my back and l will scratch
yours
Commenting upon this paragraph
in his proclamation. Governor Kit
telle said that it reflected upon the
honesty of judges and inferred that
they would sustain each others de-
cisions without regard to law or
justice or their oaths of Office
The porclamation dissolving the
council was based on refusal of
the councilmen to meet. it is stated,
and on the ground that no quorum
could be obtained.
