Mercer Fair.

The cattle show and fair at Mercer
was holden Oct. 4. The day was fair
Standing in the streets and watching
the people as they wended their way to
the grounds one might fancy himself a
spectator at some Roman festival, so
great seemed their desire to make the
fair grand success. Right nobly did
they labor and right grandly did they
succeed. The display of cattle and
horses was good. The fair was the best
Mercer has ever known. Entering the
hall one WAS amazed at the beautiful
paintings which adorned the walls, at
the artistically designed mats and the
fine display Of fruit. Taken all in all.
Mercer may well be proud of the fact
that her show was among the best in
the State.
Music was furnished during the day
by Mr.. Harris and daughter. He used a
violin of his own make and executed
selections of his own composition The
full list of awards will be published in

n Mayors once Turned Int . Picture
Gallery by the Photographers Who
Want Specimens OF Their
Art Sent to Omaha.

The mayors Office at the city hall is
stocked with several hundred photo
graphs, and members of the council and
others spent much time yesterday in
examining them. They are the con-
tributions of three local photographers
and are desired for exhibition at the
Omaha fair IL they meet the approval
Of the committee on photographs ap-
pointed by the mayor.
One set Of views were taken on the
day that the Montana soldiers depart
ed for Helena and there are a numbe
of very fine street scenes. Several views
of the gaily decorated court house and
the soldiers and crowds in front of it
were particularly good. Other good
views showed the crowds at the depot
as the train bearing the soldiers was
about to leave. Others showed the SOL
diers marching down Main street. n
gave some OF the best decorated build
ings.
Another set of views aimed to show
the mining industries of the city. A
number of these were taken from the
top of the Garrison house. There was
one good photograph giving a bird's-eye
of the mines and shelters to the
north. Others gave the Parrot mine,
the Heinze smelter, the Rarus mine, the
Butte Reduction Works and the Colo
ado smelter. One view looked to the
northwest, showing the Big Butte loom
ing up in the distance. There was a
bird's-eye view of the entire city taken
from the fiat south of town. In spite of
a few clouds of smoke the picture gives
a very good dea Of the city OF Butte
as seen from a distance.
Then there is a collection OF several
hundred small photographs. The pub
lie library, the fire department.. the city
hall, the court house. the Owsley block.
the depots, the Hennessy and Connell
buildings, the futile building and the
hotels are shown. All the churches are
shown in separate photographs. Most
of the school buildings are given. One
view shows the High school cadets
drawn up in line in front or the new
High school. There is al interior view
of CIark's bank. There are views or
scores of the finest residences,
those of w. A. Clark, DIR. Campbell, j.
w. Newton, A. j. Darch, John Il. pa
yies, A. j. Davies, Il. f.. Calklns,
Thomas Lavelle, etc. There Is a view
of the Butte hotel AT the time Bryan
made his speech from in front OF IL.
There is a very stirring view OF
Northern Pacific railroad yards. Al
most every street i'm the business part
Of town is shown. .
IL seemed to be the opinion OF those
who examined the photographs that
they would make a very good represeh-
tation of the city at the Omaha eXpos.-
ton. Several aldermen Were in ave
Of aking all of the pictures. The spe-
ciaI committee on photographs will meet
Friday evening tn examine the photo-
graphs more carefully and select those
thought most suitable.
