NEW GROUNDS.
Will be the Best Fair Grounds in
the State.

The plans for the race track, the
lake, the park and the buildings on
the new fair grounds have been made
by Major Brooks and will be submit
ted to the Board of Directors at their
next meeting. If the plans are adopt
ed as laid off we will have the finest,
prettiest and most convenient fair
grounds in the State.
The race track is half mile course,
made in the shape of figure eight,
with lake in one circle and a park
ground in the other. A large avenue
or driveway from the jackson gravel
road is laid off to the north corner of
the grounds where is set aside seven
or eight acres of ground for wagon
yards. Along the north fence of the
grounds are to be located the stalls.
about one hundred in number. Near
the center or starting point of the race
track Will be the grand stand on one
side and the judges stand on the
other. Nice locations are marked on
the plans for the floral hall and other
buildings.
If the grcunds are arranged accord
ing to these plans We will surely have
the finest park and fair grounds west
of the Mississippi river.

something Remarkable.

The Springfield Republican tells the
following prosperity story, which is
remarkable when it is considered that
Springfield has one of the largest
wagon factories in the country:
A. Sipple of Pro Tenn arrived in the
city Saturday to purchase farm wa
gon, and it was not until late Monday
afternoon that he was able to procure
one, and it was then only after one of
the big wholesale wagon concerns con-
Germs consented to sell their sample
wagon. This was not the only firm
that he tried to buy wagon from, but
he visited every farm wagon dealer in
the city and at each place when he
made his wants known, he was met
with the answer, "We have not a wa
gon in stock. We cannot supply orr
the demand is so great"
This goes to show that there is gen.
uine prosperity in Southwest Mis-
souri,.

The BIacksmiths & ct Together.

. The blacksmiths of this city held a
meeting last night and organized
themselves into an association, to be
known as the Cape Girardeau Black
smith Association. The organization
is formed for the purpose of adopting
a schedule OF prices. A schedule was
agreed upon with raise of twenty
per cent. on all blacksmith work, the
raise to 60 into effect on the 10Th day
of November. \ member of the as
sociation informs US that they were
forced to raise prices on their work
on account of the increase in the
price of iron and other material used
in blacksmithing.

How the Soldier Profits.

a group of guests in the Grunewald
lobby we're discussing the situation in
Cuba. ''I'm heartily in favor of that

party. 'iIf they can't find patriots
enough let them cut up the money and
divide it among 'em anyhow, espe-
cially among the officers. 1t is exact
ly what is needed by our gallant boys.
Why some of them-'''.Our gallant

lean soldiers who have been on duty
down there on that war-stricken, dis
ease-smitten island, risking their lives
and health and making every conceiv-

Why, hundreds of those noble fellows
are sutfsring-yes, actually suffering
for the little comforts of life. They
send their pay home to their families
and now" ''But hold on there" said
the other man, chow the dickens are
they going to be benefited by the dis
