An interesting race at the fair last
week, of which no mention was made in
our account, was the peg race. In this
race the drivers were obliged to harness
their horses after the word was given TO
start, and an exciting bucking contest
was included. There were three en-
tries, and the summary of heats follows
James II. Grace of Leice 3 3 |
vi. Powers of Burlington.........2 ,
Henry Peck of New Haven. ........4 , 3
Gusta Miller OF Cornwalln..........3 4
Time, II, 4 30, 10, 4 %
The winner of the bicycle race was
julius Sanctuary of Hinesburg and his
time for the mile heats was , "a and
2:3S3. Charles Liberty Of Vergennes
was the plucky little rider who pushed
Sanctuary so hard at the finish.
The success of the fair is in very large
part due to the hustling officers who had
it in charge, and of these the one on
whose shoulders the burden of prepare
ton fell most heavily was Secretary G..
5. Dana of New Haven. The secretary
is usually ex-officio manager. and Mr.
Dana acquitted himself handsomely in
the discharge of the onerous duties
placed upon him. When fair days came
around it was General Superintendent
c. NJ. Remele who had to assume much
of the burden, and he certainly "toted
it to the satisfaction of all who had to
do with him.

PETERS IN THE RACE.
He is Still After That Federal Judge
ship.

Sam Peters, now postmaster at New
ton, has not given up his aspiration to
be United States district judge.
Word comes from Mr. Peters home
that he will enter the race as soon as
the bill retiring Judge Foster is passed.
That is the position upon which Mr.
Peters has had his eye for a long time
Cy Leland tried to have new district
created especially for Mr.. Peters but it
wouldn't work Then he started the
scheme to have Judge Foster retired
but the war crowded it out until now.
Meanwhile Mr.. Peters was taken care
of by being given the place of postmas-
ter at Newton which he accepted with
out any effort on his part. But if he
can be made federal judge he will will
lingly surrender his present position for
that.
George ]. Barker, one of the attor-
neys in the dillmon case, is also an as
pirant for the position.

STACEY'S NEW TACTICS.
Charged With Issuing Circulars De-
flaming Divorced Wife.

Newton, June 29.-Several hundred
printed circulars, each in a separate,
sealed, stamped envelope, signed "A. G..
Stacey" and mailed from Topeka, ap-
peared in the Newton mail yesterday
morning. They contained defamatory
statements against Mrs. Louise Helm,
Stacey's divorced wife, duplicating sun
dry prominent men, and clothed in such
obscene language that the bulk of the
circulars are held for instructions from
the postal department. The carrier de-
livery was suppressed, but the box de-
livery got out before the contents were
discovered. They are directed to per-
sons of all classes, many young girls
being included.
At the time of his trouble with. his
wife Stacey made charges against her
similar to these now contained in the
circulars Later, after divorce had
been granted to Mrs. Stacey, he issued
most remarkable statement, in the
course of which he declared that every
charge he had made against his wife
was wholly false and that all had been
prompted by insane jealousy. He de-
nOunced himself as a villain of the
blacklist type for having dared to
breathe word against his divorced
wife, who, he declared, was one of the
pureSt, nObleSt women that ever lived

UNION PACIFIC SELLS.
Bismarck Grove Purchased by Law
renee Fair Associ alton.

Lawrence, Kan, June 29.-The Union
Pacific railroad accepted the offer made
by the Kaw Valley Fair association for
Bismarck grove, and as soon as the
papers are made out this famous park
will pass out of the railroad company
hands to the possession of the fair as
ISOLATION. This fair association was or
ganiZed this spring to succeed the
Douglas County Fair association, which
last year conducted a successful exhi-
bition at the Driving park, south of the
city. 1t Is the intention of the fair as
ISOLATION to make Bismarck a public
park for the people of Lawrence and
Douglas county, and to that end the
park will be kept open every day of
the week for such as desire to spend
the day within its boundaries. Efforts
will also be put forth to bring outside
gatherings and attractions to the grove
so that there will be something there
for the people to go to, and the grounds
will be kept in shape for the enjoyment
of the public.
