FRIDAY AT THE FAIR.

The Race Winners and to Whom Premiums
Were Awarded.
Fridays proceedings were not marked by
any incident of unusual note. The attendance
was estimated at about twelve thousand, being
much larger than the Friday crowd of last year.
A majority of the visitors. perhaps, were coun-
try people, it appearing that great many had
sensibly concluded to wait until Friday and
avoid the crush on Thursday. The races were
interesting, and the day passed pleasantly for
most of the spectators who came upon the
grounds.

entries OF Billy G. and Bulwer for a special
purse There was no time lost by scoring, and
both went off with rush, with Billy q. quite
a favorite. Whenever pushed by Bulwer, Billy
G. would lunge and jump for lead, and then
recover quickly. On the home-stretch Billy
G. ran nearly to the finish, but recovered his
feet before passing under the wire. The heat
was given to Bulwer. The second and third
heats were regular picnic for Billy G., and,
whenever pushed, he would jump for the lead

ASLEEP MANY YEARS,
Prolonged StupOr of Minnesota
Man-Strange Effects of Ague.

In the little village of Utica, Mimi, lives
Herman Harms, who has been sleeping
soundly most of the time for the last twelve
years. Thousands of people have been
to visit the man. Doctors have come long
his long sleep is no one has been able to dis.
cover. The story is not legend neither &
the sleeper myth. He is sleeping STILL The
doctors say that he may live and sleep twenty
years to come.
Harms is German about fifty-one years
old. Twelve years ago he was seized with
fever and ague. he had long spells of fe-
vered sleep for four years, Then the mysteriou.
spell seemed to leave him, and for three years
he was almost well man. May IL, 1884,
Harms ate his morning meal as usual Sud
denly he felt Stupor coming over him. He
put down the cup that he held in his hand,
rose and cast himself heavily upon the bed.
Almost before he touched the bed he was
asleep For three years he slumbered. He
did not even dream. He lived, but it was q
living death. Many remedies were tried, but
they did no good
The strangest thing about this mysterious
man is that in this period of three years
Harms woke every night of his own accord
about 12 o'clock, rose famished. ate his sun
per and went back to bed Once every dav
he emerged from oblivion and talked with his
friends, entered for few moments into the
old family life and then slipped away again.
At the end of three years he again rose from
his bed, but his limbs had grown weak from
long disuse. He was able to totter about the
house in feeble way, in constant fear that
sleep would again overtake him.
For few days he walked out in the sunlight.
For few months he kept awake Then he
felt the stupor come upon him. His eyes
grew heavy, his limbs leaden, and he sank
down under the weight of sleep. This time
he has been asleep for nearly two years. but
he does not awake in the way he formerly
did He cannot rise in bed, and it is plain
that he is gradually sinking. Now he wakes
only when he is awakened 1t has been sug-
gested that he is in hypnotic condition;
that while his body sleeps his mind is living

a Woman Confesses to Murder
After Being Strung Up.

"A lew days since farmer named Dudley,
hvlng near El Dorado, Kan, engaged Mr..
and Mrs. Edwards to assist him in gathering
ms crops. While walking to the farm that
afternoon they were joined by Mr.. and Mrs.
Bloomer, who were on the way home from
Rosalie, accompanied by their three-year-old
child. Arriving at the Dudley farm, Mrs.
Bloomer placed her child in Mrs Edwards's
charge, while she accompanied her husband
to the field to see Mr. Dudley.
When they returned to the house the child
was missing. The neighbors were summoned
to institute search, but the child could not
be found. Mrs. Edwards's strange actions
aroused suspicion, and she was finally charged
with having murdered the child She denied
the charge Indignantly. and the search was
continued. The child could not be found
Mr.. and Mrs. Bloomer were satisfied that
Mrs. Edwards had made away with it, and
to test their suspicious they proposed to ex-
tract confession from her. Accordingly
she was told that she was to be hanged, and
had better confess the crime. She obstinate
ly maintained that she knew nothing
of the cause of the child's disap-
pearance. A rope was found, one
end placed about her neck, and the other
thrown over the limb Of tree Just as her
body was about to leave the ground she broke
down, and confessed that owing to her ex-
treme annoyance at the child's disobedience
of her commands, she had killed 1T, and given
the body to her husband to dispose of it. He
carried it to the creek near by and threw it
into the water
Her husband denied any completely in the
crime and the same means were resorted to
to force a confession from him. He was
strung up for minute or two and then cut
down. He then confessed that he had seen
his wife carry the body of the child to the
creek and dispose of it there. He, himself,
he said, had nothing to do with the crime ex-
cept to witness the disposal of the body.
The neighbors then began a systematic
search of the premises and creek. If Mrs.
Edwards story is verified both she and her
husband will doubtless be lynched. as great
excitement prevails over the affair.
