To-day is Commercial Travellers
Day at the Fair.
Tomorrow, Admission Day, will
be Native Sons Day at the Fair.

Last night was the most wonderful
in the history of the Pavilion, and the
success of the State Fair was so pro-
nounced as to send enthusiasm to the
heart and brain of even the dullest.
Thousands were there, and every part
of the space UP stairs and down was
crowded.
1t was Odd Fellows Night, but
everybody else was there as we'll. The
great crowd came until the gatekeep-
ers' arms ached, and pay gates and
pass gates were jammed like an old
time day at New Orleans Mardi Gras
Carnival.
Secretary Shields rested a few min
utes to see the show for the first time.
The Willards thrilled him with sweet
music, the Banvards filled him with
wonder in their high leaping, and the

he thought he was back for the mo-
ment in the charmed days of knights
and ladies.
The only grumblers were the exhib-
itors, who claimed that the show was
stealing the crowd Forgetting that
the music and acting have done more
than anything under the roof to draw
the great throng, they insisted on cut
ting the program, and cut was made.
1t was a good idea to run the vaude-
valea musical features without long
intermissions, but the directors have
decided not to cater to any further
cutting lest they lose the crowds that
have begun to come.

Wholesale aRocERs
Protest Against Action of the Gu
cnnasTr1,st.

coBeSTrust.
CHICAGO. Dec. PA special meet
ing of the wholesale grocers association,
called by President H. D. Lee, was held
here to-day to take action on the al
legged hostile position. toward jobbers,
assumed by the Glucose Syrup Refining
Company, known as the Glucose Trust.
Representatives OF many of the largest
wholesale grocery houses in the west
and south were present when the meet
Ing was called to order. The cause of
the action on the, part of the whole-
salers was a circular issued by the glu-
cose company year ago notifying the
jobbers that the cash discount would be
abolished and the guarantee OF goods
withdrawn after January /. 1900. The
wholesalers declare they hold them
selves responsible to the retailers for
the condition OF the syrup and other
goods sold and they expect the same
consideration from the manufacturers.
A vigorous protest against the action
of the glucose company Will be made
before the wholesalers submit to the
order.
