A. Void and Henry Arneson had an
experience fighting prairie fires on Sun

they had proceeded few miles home
ward when they came up to the fire then
under considerable Roadway and fast
closing around the home and farm build
ings of one of the rev settlers in Mos
COW township. They found that the
man and his wife we're away spending
the afternoon with one of their neighbors
and fourteen year old girl together
with her little brother were alone on
the place. The children bad already
Cotton team out and plowed four long
burrows between the approaching fire
and the hay stacks, though as the build
ings had only thatched and straw roofs
the fire breaks were insufficient to stop
its progress. The arrival of Void and
| Arneson came just in time to save the
home which the little children we're
fighting for so bravely and in less than
half an hour the danger was past and
the boys on their way home just as if
nothing had happened.

Mckinley and Bryan Carried
Their Home States With
Good Maj0rities.
KENTUCKY IN DOUBT.
Republican Majorities Greatly
Reduced in Such States
as Ohio and Iowa.

The returns from the various
states that held elections on Tues
day show that the closing of the
polls and counting Of ballots had
surprises in store for the supports
of both democratic and republican
tickets. In Ohio, the home state
of Mckinley it was apparently
close enough to keep the republi-
cans on the move although they
carried the state by $4,000 votes,
which decreases their plurality of
1898 by 1000. Bryan IN turn
was endorsed by Nebraska. his
home state, by lead of $4,000
votes, and instead of a falling off
on the result of 1898, shows gain
of over 10000 votes.
In Kentucky the complexion is
changed and the $1,000 majority
the Blue grass state gave the
democrats at the last election has
been rolled over to the repub-
lican column.
Massachusetts went republican
by nearly 10000, but the demo-
Gratis carried Boston by a heavy
majority, which considering that
the city has gone republican at
every election for three years past
is of itself faltteriDg.
Maryland shows substantial
democratic gains and turned in a
majority of $1,000 as evidence that
she has returned to the democratic
column for keeps.
Mississippi is credited with
polling only a light vote but is
democratic as usual-electing the
entire state ticket by a 10000
majority.
The republicans roll up their
biggest majority in Iowa this year
and have conceded lead there
of 10000.
Kansas is state in which re.
publicans console themselves with
a gain of 10 per cent in a fusion
strong hold, which is being ap-
piled by them as balm for the
falling off of their strength in
Ohio.
Pennsylvania elected state re-
publican ticket and democratic
congressman, most all in one
breath-not bad days work of
itself. The old state however is
as rottenly republican as it eyer
was.
New York city rolled up its
usual democratic majority though
the state assembly will contain 80
republican members and So demo
cratic.
Down in old Virginia there is
democracy galore. the election
showing that both Legislative
houses will have representatives
of that party almost to the exclu.
sion of republicans. In the senate
there is a lone republican with
two solitary sympathizers in the
| house.
In South Dakota the republi.
cans elected their judicial ticket
with a lead of 10000 and leave
Senator Pettlgrew in wonderment
as to how it all all happened.

The first evening Session" of the
Fair was inaugurated promptly at
seven o'clock last night. and from that
hour on to midnight was a big sue
cess for the opening Gay. AS a mat
ter OF course. the first day of such an
event is more or less devoted to
breaking the ice,' finding out the Law
of the land, taking preliminary view
of things, in social meetings, etc., and
yesterday was no exception. To-day
and hereafter affairs will move along
more smoothly, and things will "cut
loose" a little in the sense that there
will be less hesitancy into venturing
into the various hooks and corners
where attractions are located. The at
tendance last evening was in excess of
the afternoon, and ladies and gentle
men were alike satisfied with the en-
tire Fair and with the particular at
fractions presented. Many, who rath-
er expected some sore of cheap show.
were astonished at the exhibits, and
those who have not yet visited the
grounds can rest assured that there
are a lot of things we'll worth seeing.
Among these can be enumerated the
Streets of Cairo, the Japs, Hagenbacks.
the trained animal show. the Indian vii
lage, the living pictures, and a num-
Der of others. Hagenback's is pafticul-
arly good. No finer lot of animals,
lions, tigers, etc., was ever seen here
The entire series of shows are of the
uniform price of ten cents, and are so
divided that the visitor can pick and
chose, seeing but one or two or all,
just as he pleases or as his time will
allow.
The spectacle along South Broad
way last evening after dark was one
never before seen in Wheeling, and
alone is we'll worth a visit to the
grounds. Hundreds upon hundreds of
electric lights, overhead as well as in
the booths, make the view one to be
studied, and the displays are far and
away beyond any similar showing in
the history of this city. The business
men have responded grandly to the op-
portunity offered, and will be
the gamers thereby. All last
evening. until midnight. the
space between Ohio and Fink
streets was thronged with ladies, gem
tlemen and children, and it appeared
as though social Wheeling had turned
out en- masse to greet each other and
to take first, view Of the completed
Fair. 1t was merry throng. bent

Is the exenln tie Opera
0use M and orcsaestra discoursed
careful1y 9elected programme, partly
brass and partly for strings, and
here was an abundance Of other music
besides. Inside the Midway there was
strange admixture of sounds, musical
and otherwise, Indian tom-tom answer
ing the Turks clash of sword upon
shield, and the shrill cry of the ex-
horter to visit this or that entertain
ment, while above all could be heard
the gay laughter of ladies and the buzz
and hum OF conversation as the crowd
surged to and fro. The order pre-
served was perfection, and ladies and
children can venture anywhere with
the utmost degree of safety.
The pie-eating contest was one of
the initial features of the evening, and
an astonishing amount Of first class
pastry was put out of sight in short
time, the winner devouring three and
one-half pies in about two minutes and
half. The balloon ascension was
scheduled for ten o'clock, and was
awaited with much interest. The
ascension took place about quarter of
eleven O'Clock, and was witnessed by
large number of people, not only in
the grounds but outside on the Island.
The young lady who made the ascent
came down safely in the parachute
after reasonably long fight The
fire works display, which took place
about the time of the balloon ascension
was also very successful and was
greatly enjoyed.
For to-day and tonight there is
varied programme offered, and large
ly increased attendance is looked for,
as many strangers will have arrived
in the city by this morning.

harvest.
In front of the Oriental theatre,
which occupies the east end of the
street, an excellent performance is Civ

rage ceremony, performed by Sheik

aft. Then comes an Arabian speech,
sports and games of natives, Ali Baba
brothers, gun spinners, four sword
fighters, Alexander the fire-eater and
Egyptian magician.
In the theatre, the Oriental daece
is given. The dancers are four in num-
Der, Asia, Zueleka, La Belle Sultana,

the feature of the show She is a re-
markedly beautiful woman, and Is said
to be the only living dancer who comes
from the Sultan's harem.

BENNETT VS.. MATTHEWS
The Bout Will Take Place Before the M.
A. e. Tonight


A. e. Tonight.
Visitors to the Oriental Fair who are
lovers of the manly art, will be af-
forded an opportunity to witness a
strictly first-class contest between top
notchers at the Fulton club house to-
night. There has been a heavy de-
mand for seats, and every indication
points to a crowded house. The en-
tertainment certainly merits it.
Matty Matthews has been finishing
his work at Rudler's place out the Ma
tional Road, under the watchful eye of
his manager, Fred Fox, and he will
step into the ring in shape to put up
the bout of his life The promise of a
match with George Lavigne, condition
ed upon his defeat Of Bennett, will be
an additional incentive.
On the other hand, Jack Bennett is
equally confident, has good reputa-
ton at stake and is equally determin-
ed to win. In Pittsburg the sports
think he will have no trouble although
they do not underestimate the ability
of his opponent Those who witness
the bout will find prompt takers for
any Bennett money they may display
in this city.
On account of the Elks' Carnival the
bout will not take place until 1920
o'clock. This will enable visitors to
see the show on the Island, and then
take in the boxing contest in Fulton.
