TO BOOM THE FAIR
ANOTHER EEETING OF SToCKHOLD-
ERS CALLED. FOB DECEMBER.
Yesterdays Meeting was Not Largely At
tended but Those who were Present Not
Only Spoke but Acted Enoouragingly-
They Resolved to Make an Assessment
to Pay on Ali tho Debts-ChArles g.
Cohn Named. a. Trustee for the EuDds
to be Put Up-secretary Hewey Saysthe
Fair will be Go.

The called meeting Of the stockhold-
ers of the Fair association was held
yesterday in the city building.
The attendance while very good was
not as large as it should have been. con-
sidering the importance OF the meet
ing, and AN adjournment was taken I'M
til Dec a. at which time ii is essential
that every stakeholder be present.
Before adjournment yesterday a reso-
luton was passed levying 40 per cent
assessment on each stockholder for the
purpose OF paying off the Indebtedness
Of the association which at present is
about 81. 500.
The members who were present ex-
pressed entire willingness TO put UP the
assessment but the question was raised
whether it would not be judicious for
only a. part of the stock holders to pay
UP. 1T might be that others would not
he willing 10 pay their assessments and
hence injustice would be done to those
who did.
To avoid any trouble OF this kind and
at the same time secure the completion
of the assessments II was resolved and
so ordered that Charles Cohn Of the
Boston store he made trustee for the
funds raised by the assessment. The
gentlemen who have already promised
the assessments made have paid him or
ARIA nged to do 60 and every other stock
holder is requested and expected 10 do
the same thing IF all pay the inderbt
edness Of the association will be wiped
out: If not the money will be refunded
to those who may have paid, by the
trustee.
Every stakeholder seen yesterday by
a reporter for the Eagle approved of
what had been done and regarded it as
the wisest thing That it VIII prove to
be success there 1t no doubt.
At the December meeting a full atten-
dance is requested. The election of Of
fcrs has also ben postpond until that
date

County Clerk Carvin reports that the
candidates at the recent election are
very slow in making the returns Of their
expenses and the indication now is that
many Of them will neglect the matter
entirely. There is liable TO be trouble Il
they do and some fines paid.
Up 10 O'Clock yesterday only few
candidates had made returns and these
were comparatively dull from a news
paper .staondpoint, there being no hot
stuff there.
II was not necessary 10 examine the
paper to tell whether they were made
out by Republicans or Pops. One OF
them charged up liver higher" for liv-
cry hire and in two instances there were
items OF railroad fair" and hotel

addition he paid for one meal during

Rufe Cone was hit the hardest on the
Pop ticket. Rufe does not go into de-
tails but puts nearly all what he says
he spent under the items of assessment

He paid 1915 for printing extra copies

but now in the statements they show
themselves how they did business

head of printing extra copies"
Cones expenses altogether amounted
to nearly 500 and the statements do not
include any cigars or refreshmeniS
Rufe probably did not set EN- up 10 any
