Dampness Causes Serious DiSap-
pOintment at Grand Forks.
Special to the Globeo
GRAND FORKS, OAK, Sept. 20.-This
was gloomy Thursday-the third day
of the fair. The early morning looked
favorable for a clear day, but at 9
o'clock rain began to fall and con-
tinued nearly all day. 1t being
Children'S day many youngsters sought
the grounds regardless of the rain.
Three excursion trains came in this
morning bearing crowds of people.
Some stopped at the grounds and
thrOnged the main building, but by
noon nearly every one went
down town, and the hotels and
restaurants were taxed to the
utmost to satisfy the hungry throng. 1t
was great day for the merchants and a
greater for the saloons, which were run
wide open. The Hillsboro band and
Grafton drum corps were here and as
sisted the Cadet band in rendering good
music. The corps will remain here
for the encampment, The races
and all the attractions at the fair
grounds were postponed on account of
rain. Many g. a. r. people are in the
city for the encampment. Tents were
pitched to-day and the sham battle
occurs on Saturday. The opposing
forces will be commanded by
Gen. S. F. Hammond and
Gen. j. II. Eye. Tonight the local post
gave the visiting comrades a reception
at the court house. which was largely
attended by the citizens and visitors.

Flour-Market Record: The general do
nestle demand for the higher grades of flour
was good. Many buyers got left waiting for
decline, that are now taking hold very lib
orally. Foreign markets are dull and the
trade there ask concessions. These they do
not get and business with them is at stand
still. Millers are selling they say all they
care to contract at current selling figures,
contract literally. TIE distribution is very
wide in this country. Bids from abroad are
as low as before the recent rise.
Bran and Shorts-The demand was good,
with business at 81 mainly, though a few
cars went below that and others above.
Some millers asked $11.5O and others
$11.75; shorts, SI2013.25.

prices very weak at 36@4Oc for samples.

Rain Gives the Crowds Gathered
at Preston a Set Back.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
PRESTON, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-This was
the third and best day of the Fillmore
county fair, the attendance being the
largest in the history of the society.
Rain, which set in about $50 p. M,
caused the postpOnement of the greater
part of the programme. The exhibit of
live stock is quite large, and shows
marked improvement in the different
grades. The fair, as a whole, is a sue
cess. One of the most interesting arti-
cles on exhibition is perfect steam
engine and boiler, manufactured by h.
S. Hopple, of this place, and having a
capacity of one-half horse power. Mr..
HOpple had no other tools than those
found in blacksmith and wagon shop,
and did the work at odd moments. A
horse, belonging to J.O'Brien, hitched to
road cart, ran away in the fair ground
to-day, knocking down and seriously in
juring son of Jacob Rhiel, who lives
in the eastern part of the county. The
fair closes tomorrow.
