Some people dread the number 13. They
believe that it is a mathematical product,
composed entirely of bad luck, desolation, and
woe. Some people would sooner starve than
cit down to table where thirteen plates were
set, but to use fgurative and lisping pun
such people are thirteenly silly. Last night
was the thirteenth night of the fair, and the
crowd was simply immense, spent lots of
money, and completely knocked the number
thirteen theory in the head.
The real excitement of the fair began last
night, as the voting on nine articles were
closed and the names of the popular lucky
ones heralded from the band stand. Secret
voting began at 8 o'clock and between that
time and 10 o'clock, when the balloting
ceased, numerous envelopes, containing mys-
terious sums of money were passed over to
the judges. A few minutes after 10 the re-
suit was blackboarded as follows:
The billiard cue donated for the most popu-
lar billiard parlor was won by Mike Scanlon,
with 1876 votes, Miller g. Jones having 8 and
G. w. Holl T.

Noble, with 341 votes, William Hoover hav-
ing Is, J. r. Kelly II, and M. Homiller IL.

OF course there were a number of disap-
pointed candidates. but the corresponding
elation on the part of the lucky ones entirely
overshadowed the blasted hopes of those de-
feated. The ballotting for the other articles
will close as follows:
To-night-Printer's apprentice composing
stick, pen and pencil for bank clerk,
newspaper mans desk, oil stove for letter car
rier, set Of buggy harness, violin for musi-

ness, Auerbach sewing machine, sideboard for
lady, and gas stove for letter carrier.
The fair managers are endeavoring to dis
cover the whereabouts of a man who went to
several booths and carried off articles that
had been won by gentleman named Trimble.
The real winner came to the fair last night
after the articles and then the deception was
first discovered.
The fight for the diamond Elk pin is very
active and has received a new impetus by the
temperance of Mr.. John Ellinger as a candi-
date, he having withdrawn on account of O
misunderstanding, which happily was AMIGA
bly, arranged.
