AN EXHIBIT DENOUNCED,
The California" Exposition in
New York Unfavorably
Received.
A. D. Montague Warns the State Board
of Trade That Its Name is
Improperly Used.

For several months past circulars have
been floating around the State advertising
a California State exhibit" in Madison
Square, New York. The promoters of the
scheme claimed that the exhibit was in
dorsed by the California State Board of
Trade, and that this body was to exhibit
its big wheel that attracted so much atten-
ton at Atlanta. Also that the railroad
had promised to give free transportation
OF all goods sent 10 the New York exhibit.
All of these statements have been denied
by the secretary of the State Board of
Trade and by W. H. Mills on behalf of the
railroad company. Secretary ]. A. Filcher
yesterday received an interesting letter
from A. D. Montague, formerly OF Mon
terey and lately the correspondent at At
lanta for several Los Angeles newspapers.
Mr.. Montague made an investigation of
the Madison-square Garden scheme and
upon this subject he writes the following:
California had better guard her repu tation
in time, and you all would be WISE to keep an
eye on the Madison-square Garden fake. l am

fine notice of the slick little money-making
scheme, both in the news and editorial
columns. The upshot Of it was, l wrote the
following:

Sun was scathing denunciation of the
Madison-square Garden scheme, so far as
Its alleged connection with any California
organization or body of responsible men

to the promoters endeavor to secure the
Endorsement OF the Southern Pacific, Mr..
Montague writes:

the southern Pacific Company regards the
scheme as wildcat proposition and very un-
trustworthy.

The Cresco Fair.

Nearly 100 Decorahians took the
train Wednesday for the Cresco fair.
Just as the train arrived at that place
it began to rain and for an hour or
more there wasn't person OF the
crowd who did not wish he had re-
mained at home. But about 2 o'clock
the clouds broke away, and although
the sun shone but little while it did
not rain any more until after supper.
Nearly if not quite as many drove over
to our sister town by teams or went on
bicycles, so that our friends up there
cannot complain that Winneshejk
county did not give hearty encourage
ment to the enterprise. And the fair
was certainly worthy of the support it
received, both from citizens and from
abroad. Without exageration the
writer can say that it was beyond any
doubt the best fair he has attended in
Is years. The farmers and merchants
all took lively interest in its success,
judging from the exhibits. The dis
play of fruits and vegetables in agri-
cultural hall was exceeding fine. The
diving man and woman and horses
took place just as advertised, and was
a thrilling sight. The rifle shooting
of the famous DR.. Carver was truly
wonderful. .-Decorah journal.
