We believe we ha.Te made the most cf our many years experience Max M. Habekman THE SIIOEMAN Judge Lamoreux.

S. W. one of the most prominent residents of Dodge county and in former years one of the best known democratic politicians in the state4 died last Thursday evening at his home In Beaver Dam, blood poisoning being the cause of his death. Mr. Lamoreux was born March 8, 1843 in Lenox, New York, but came with his parents to Mayville when but ten years of age and has since been a resi dent of Dodge county.

During the latter part of the civil war he served in the Fifth Wisconsin Inf. and after the close of the war he practiced as attorney in Mayville. In 1877 he was elected county judge and held the office until 1893 when he was appointed general land commissioner by Pres. Cleveland. Soon after his return from Washington at the close of the second Cleveland administration in 1897 he moved to Beaver Dam, where at the time of his death he was president of the German National Bank and also principal stockholder of the Beaver Dam Malleable Iron Works.

His widow, three sons and one daughter survive. Judge Lamoreux had many friends and acquaintances in Fox Lake, where he at one time owned a cottage on Elm wood. The funeral was held at Beaver Dam Sunday under Masonic auspices and was largely attended. Rev. Ferdinand Gilhartr father of Silas Gilhart of this village died at MarKesan Sunday of the infirmities of old age, aged 84 years.

He had been in feeble health for a year or so and the end was not unexpected. He was a man of strong constitution, excellent habits and fine moral character, and had been active in his accustomed pursuits until long past the age. at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers. The funeral was held Wednesday at Markesan where he had made his home for the past, few years, the remains being brought across country for burial here. The Grand Army, of which he was an honored member, met the remains here and escorted them to the cemetery.

RIVERVIEWEXPOSiTI0N Chicago's Big Show Breaks All World' Fair Records in Attendance and Splendor.

Regards toj Fox Lake people Sorry to hear tha the Peerless Hotel was burned. I was certainly Fox Lake's most beaut ful snot.

I shall regret very much fo find that block ever built nn with Residences. If the Peerless will afot rebjiild that should be parked. I hope to spend some time this fall fishing at Fox Lake, I suppose there are a few dog fish left still for me to catch. You mayremember that this was my specialty while fishing in Fox Lake but pickerel occasionally took hold too. One of the boys from here caught a 12 pound pickerel out at -JJruces lake just 12 miles west of here Sunday.

When such a catch is so rare we. keep talking of them for about a year afterwards. Our colony is doing very well, has purchased fifteen acres of land most beautifully situated and are now building cottages thereon as part of the permanent equipment. Our capacity is almost filled to the limit all times. We never have had less an 12 patients since way last fall and run irom that up to 21.

The Chicago Tvberculosis Institute is now nding us a good many patients, in fact at the present time we have eight atients with us. Hope you can drop in and see us if you ever get to this part of the country. Mrs. W. joins in sending regards.

Yours truly, II. Watterson. Hampton Roads, Aug. 8, 1909. Dear Friend I wish to thank you for the bundle of papers received from you a while ago.

I have a ship mate on here who hails from Fox Lake. His name is Grady. I didn't know him when Hived there, but all the same it seemed good to talk of home with him. Yesterday we dropped anchor here after our cruise to New England. We spent the 4th of July in Portland, and had a nice time- Then we went to Cape Cod Bay and put in a month of good hard work drilling.

Next Wednesday we go out on the range for target practice, then next month we go to New York for the big carnival There is some talk of our going to the Pacific coast next winter. About Oct. there will be a furlough granted and I'm going to try very hard to get home again. Give my Fox Lake friends my regards and let us hear from you soon. Truly jourr, A.

Knew Who Used It, Charles H. Hoyt, New England's great playwright, once visited a small lown In Pennsylvania, where there Is a hotel they say George Washington, the father of his country, used to stop at when he passed through. In it they have a room he Is said to have occupied at times. Hoyt came through there once with one of his atractions. He arrived at the hotel after all the members of the company had been assigned rooms.

One of the company was given -the Washington room; and Hoyt received a very poor room en the top floor, the proprietor not knowing who he was. When he came down stairs later, the gentleman who had got the good room said: "Mr. Hoyt, they have given me he room that they used to give George Washington when he came here." "Well." 'said Hoyt, "the one they have given: me must be the one they gave Benedict Arnold -when he came." Patronize our advertisers. The. pngnc comeoy with music, Heinie Schlitz from Fatherland, willj be at the Opera House on Saturday! evening, August 21st.

This company comes highly recomj mended and one different from those you see every day. It is amusing and interesting and if you want to have a good laugh, you can't afford to mips it. The cast has been carefully selec ted, the scenery special and the critics are unanimous in giving It high praise. During the performance there are ten nig song nits introduced and the comedy in the play will be one continuous laugh from start to finish. This is one of the season's big successes.

Shooting Season Approaches. The display of shells and other hunting implements in the windows of the dealers indicate the approach of the hunting season, which opens Sept. 1st. A few young ducks have been seen flying about the lakes and marshes of late and the probabilities are that there will be the usual number of birds on hand, providing the "sooners" do not clean them up be- lore time, iraine cnicKens may shot in this county Sept. 10th.

be Si Fea Canning Finished: The canning factory has finished their season on peas and have put up about 800,000 cans or fine stock, a little larger pack than last year. They have a few acres of seed peas to thresh out and will also put up a few string beans and carrots, but the main work nf tho cauenn lo cvav uiiMi T'hino'O went along pretty smoothly this year, the plant meeting with but littl iroq Die any wnere. Catholic mission. Rev. Father Copus, S.

of Marquette University, Milwaukee, has been conducting a Children's Mission at St. Mary's Church here this week Monday to Thursday, which has been quite largely attended and full of interest. Several sessions were held each day for the children, and in the evening a sort of a lecture talk to the older people was given by the reverend gentleman. V. J.

North, agent for the American Casualty Baltimore, has been assigned to California and will move to Los Angeles which will be his headquarters. His wife and her sister, Miss Amanda Bloedel, will move there with him this fall. They have sold their place here to W. JI. Murphy, the consideration being $2,200.

TtieTittle eight year old son 'of Frank Zastrow was badly hurt Monday by being kicked in the face by a colt in the JTcl. The kick struck him square in the face on the cheek and 'tore a big hole in his face. The young ster isfrettinff on niftp.lv. hnwp.vpr. and will come out'of it without much of scr, probably.

H. G. Miller left Saturday for North Dakota to see about the harvest on his big farm out there. Herman has some 200 acres of oats that looked good to him and some other farm crops that will help a lot. He expects to be absent a month or so.

Editor Ludtke of The Herald won the cow.

One fellow there had over 1,000 tickets on her. -N Senator North had about 1,000" young bass from the state hatchery sent him here Wednesday evening and they were planted in the lake where they will be heard from later. They were the small mouth bass about two and three inches long. L. Nourse sends us a copy of toneville, S.

Star, published in! at town 70 miles from a railroad. It is a creditable looking sheet, most all patentrout enterprising at that. tWul says he has a claim ten miles there. Snm nf nnr farmoro nro thlnb-innr renting Dode Fisk's elephant to turn loose on their farms and clean up the' thistles. Good scheme, and; We believe Dode would be glad to rent' the old fellow out after the circus sea son.

The clever little sketch at the end of the entertainment tonight at the Opera House is one big scream from start to finish. The program is full of fine selections and it promises to be a gala event. A yonng boy was drowned at Green Lake Saturday by falling down an enbankment into four inches of water. He was probably hurt by the fall and drowned in the water while unconscious. A Beaver Dam girl, Martha Stroh-busch, is missing from her boarding place at Milwaukee where she has been working and the police are searching for her.

Foul play is sus-pected. About the cleverest advertising scheme of Jate years is the Dolly Dimples of the Evening Wisconsin. It was worked up in great shape and was cohsidered as good news stuff and took well. About a dozen more girls joined Mrs. McCloud's party Saturday night and 4 they have quite a crowd there now.

Paakinson has made some very pretty ictriilo of the.party. the usual crowd and cely.

wm CLOTKiER JONES iDS, Col. William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill" and Pawnee Bill, with their "Congress of Nations," recently celebrated the birthday anniversary of the veteran scout on the Exposition grounds. The accompanying picture of the renowned plainsman was caught by a staff photographer. The two pretty "trompeters," mounted on elephants also got within range of the camera.

These and six other young women with silver-toned trumpets and their intelligent big mount's which blew great blasts on bell-like trombones were an octette that rang rare melody throughout the Expo' forests. The grandeur and spectacular beauty of the Exposition is typified by a night scene of the entrance of "Creation" building. The beautiful facade of "Creation," with its Titanic "Guardian Angel" gleams with thousands of vari-colored Vf 6 lights. Over the main arch is an iridescent glow of rainbow brilliance, the -source of which the uninitiated cannot discover. The marbled edifice with its opalescent festoons, flashes and falls of illuminant beauty is reflected in a crystal lake, out of which spouts prismatic sprays and fountains of cooling mists.

Cascades rush downward from aerial heights above the angel into the foaming waters. The reverential dramas, "Creation;" "Doomsday" or the "End of the World," another great exhibit; "The Passion Play" or "Life of Christ," and "The Temptation of Anthony," produced on a grand scale, are but three of the thousands of extraordinary attractions in the buildings of this wonderful exposition.
