CAMP oRDwAY FLEAs.

CAMP ORDWAY FLEAS.
1t has been charged by some Of the ardent
supporters of independent military companies
that the national guard boys brought the fieas
up with them from their camp at Fort Wash
ington. 1t is not improbable that some of
the militiamen introduced new varieties of the
flea tribe when they returned from Camp Ord
way. but the plague was in thorough working
order before the men left for the Maryland
summer resort The feas down there are ex-
tremely plentiful; in fact there is no better
crop on the reservation. The soil is poor and
the ordinary agriculturist secures but little in
return for the expenditure of muscular effort
and profanity. But the flea he has with him
always. The Camp Ordway flea has, however,
but little to do with the visitation under dis
cussion. He is a stolid, slow-moving sort of
fellow, and is not up to the ways of his educated
brethren. He really is not in this affair; he
cannot keep up with the procession.

One Of the easiest methods Of finding the

to walk barefooted across the floor some time
during the night. That experiment invariably
results in dotting your ankles with at least a
dozen OF The lively ones, and if you are real
smart you may catch one of them. They are

The State Fair,

The 31st annual state fair of the
Minnesota Agricultural Society opens
at Hamline September 9th and con-
tinues through the 14th. The list OF
attractions being secured by Presi-
dent Bushnell and Secretary Denny
far outrank those of previous years,
and make it doubly necessary for the
farmers, mechanics and artIzans OF
the whole state to have an interest in
it. The management has particular
ly developed the idea that the fair is
for the entire state and not one Sec
ton of it. The premium list is ar
ranged to bring out the products OF
the humblest tiller of the soil as well
as those of the great manufactures
and merchant. 1t will repay the en-
tire community to send to Ell. r.,
Denny, HamlIne, Mimi, for pre-
MUM list which will be mailed free
at once. Bear in mind that Minneso-
tais state fair is the largest institu-
ton of its kind in the United States
and that it's programme for 1889 is
halt again as large as i'll 1888. The
list of attractions will appear In our
columns next week but we can al
ready announce the National Guard
drill; the Montana cowboys exhibit
ton, and the grandest electrical and
pyhrotechnical illumination OF st.
Paul ever witnessed. The state fair
this year with 10000 active workers
already in the field will eclipse all
previous efforts. For information adj
