Yesterday was farmers day at the state
fair and the unpropitious weather proved
unfortunate, both for the management and
for those in attendance, though the farmers
were less to be effected by rain than any
other class of people, being accustomed to
rainy days. The much laughed-at predlc-
ton of the signal service, local rams
proved wet blanket for the fair. About
o'clock it began to rain and the quiet ana
ease with which the water fell was marvel
Gus. But after three quarters OF an hour
the clouds broke away. which
people had evidently expected, and
trains from the union depot to the grounds
contained hardly an empty seat. The
crowd was much smaller about the trains
than on Wednesday. but there were enough
people to make things lively, and during
the two hours of only cloudy weather Which

a sample of the whole. Standing at the
posteffice and looking west an almost i'm

The building of the chamber of con-

south and east wall having been thrown
down by the violence of the shock, and the
buildings of Walker. Evans & BOSWELL

slabs which formed the parapet of the
News and Courier building lie upon the
sidewalk, leaving the slat roof and por-
ton of the attic floor exposed Almost
the entire front of the building oc-
cupied by Meyers cigar store
and the Smith stencil establishment
is torn out, leaving the upper floor exposed.
The Plenge building, at the corner of
Church street, was badly damaged. Most
of the buildings on the street are more or
less damaged, but the violence of theearth-
quake is most perceptible at the intersec-
zion of Broad and Meeting streets. The
police station is almost complete wreck.
The upper edge of the wall has been torn
and the north wall has fallen ON the roof
of the porch. carrying it away and leaving
only the large futed pillars standing. The
city hall apparently escaped serious dam

rather late, but little showers every twenty

The DnnleSIic.

The fact is demonstrated that the Do
nestle Sewing Machine company has
placed before the visitors at the fair a dis
play of more than ordinary merit, for all
day yesterday throng of ladies, gentlemen
and children blocked the space in front of
this exhibit. One source of admiration
was the great variety OF work. the appre
citation of which gave rise to EXPLANATIONS
such as: Il have seen a great many dis
plays of art needlework, but never before
have 1 seen one which seemed to embrace
such a complete variety of work" ''Why,
they have every kind of work herew 1.-The
other exhibits of art work don't begin to
compare with this." why, there isn't
any display in the Minneapolis exposition
that can compare with this" etc. The Do
mestic machine seems to have the happy
faculty of speaking for itself in way that
impreSses every one with its eminent SUI
periority. 1t stands squarely on its merits,
and asks for only what it deserves. 1t I'M
questionably occupies the position of
leader 1t was the first high-arm sewing
machine, the first to use drop leaf, the
first to use cylinder shuttle in family
machine. the first to use hardened adjuSta-
bic bearings the first to introduce new and
elegant styles of woodwork, the first
to perfect and simplify the range and adap-
tation of attachments to popular require
ments 1t is significant fact that all other
machines now claim some, if not all of
these points. This is without doubt the
highest recognition of the standing of this
machine that it could receive. The history
of the twenty-eighth annual exhibition of
the Minnesota state fair will show the
Domestic exhibit as leading attraction,
and the many thousands of people from all
parts of the Northwest who have attended
it. will never forget the brilliant and at
tractive display Of the products of this Justly
famous and leading sewing machine Its
dealers are scattered everywhere, so that de-
mands for the machine can be readily sup
piled at the homes of all. We will not
attempt detailed description Of their ex-
hiblt; no words could do it adequate justice.
The St. Paul and Minneapolis representa-
tives have taken large number of orders
OIL the grounds for machines for immediate
delivery.
