FAIR WAS "PUNK. !"
That is the Opinion of Visitors From
This City to the State Fair
Yesterday.
"A Yellow Ball Game, and Horse Rae
ing Which Was Much Follower
Still.
The Fair Got a Bad Start and
the Events Appear to be
Hoodooed.
(From SATURDAYS Dahl,

From Saturdays Daily.)
Inc Mandan fair yesterday is tersely
described by those who attended from
this city as punk"
The special train last night brought
back a number of visitors who had had
enough.
Bismarck and Washburn contributed
TO the days horrors in a ball game in
which the score was several hundred
to a few hundred less TALES. The
scorekeeper's record showed 10 to IL.
The base ball boys could not state how
the game resulted in the way Of tallies.
The figures were so large they could
not be kept in the head and nobody
had enough paper to write them down.
The ball field was like a COW pasture
and as an exhibition. Of the national
game it was ludicrous and horrible.
Two half demented individuals who
had been secured to act as clowns for
the day contributed to the general SUI
fering of the crowd of people in the
grand stand. At a late hour last night
they had not been executed yet.
Two or three spiritless horses were
trotted about the track several times,
in an imitation race. They called it a
race because it was not so.
The time was caught in a basket
the most accurate reports we can get
place it at about 1919.
Joshing aside it was a Door dav,
Possibly it was the fault of nobody but
the weather nan who held up the
events for two days. They would not
keep in the hot weather and there was
no ice.
The fair got a bad start and it hasn't
caught up yet.
The officers in charge of the events
did the best they could but the spirit
OF old time fairs did not seem to be
there. Over in Mandan yesterday it
wa stated that this fair would be the
last one. 1t ought to be the last one
of the kind.
The agricultural displays and the
other exhibits were good-but the
sports were melancholy.
The Indians and wild west features
Oh former fairs were not the same.
1t Is to be regretted that the standard
OF former years could not be main
tanned but possibly circumstances be-
yond the control of the officials con-
spired against the success of the fair.
Anyhow, let's say no more about it. in
memory Of former years when every
body got the worth of his money.

FORMER RESIDENT OF MAYVILLE
HAS A NARROW ESCAPE AT GAIL

FORMER RESIDENT OF MAYVILLE
HAS A NARROW ESCAPE AT GAIL
WESTON.
Mayville, N. D., Sept. 23.-Banker
Julius Rosholt, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Mayville, has received
a letter from Robert S. Albee, detailing
his experience at Galveston during the
hurricane. The letter in part as fol-
lows:
Dear MI. Rosholt:-I write to. let
you know that l am among the 3.3,OD0
living and not one of the 5000 dead at
this city. The storm did not become
serious until the afternoon of the Sth.
At 3:a5 p. m. salt water from the bay
began to run through the gutter in:
front of the Office. AT $40 p. m. the
government thermometer after having
registered a wind velocity Of 100 miles
an hour for two minutes. blew away.
At 3:2O p. m. determined to make my
way to the club and walked the five
blocks through water half way up to-
my thighs. After reaching the club
the water rose to a height of four feet
in the basement, and at times it seemed!
as though the wind would blow the
building down.. But a lull came after
II o'clock and l was able to- sleep,
through the rest of the night.
Sunday morning it was; thought
that 100 would cover the number of the
dead; that afternoon it became 500.
Now 2,117 have been listed as dead and
1t is expected the list will amount to
approximately 5000. There is no
doubt but that the city is to be rebuilt.
One-third of its houses were swept
away, but they were located for the
most part near the beach and in the
eastern and western extremities of the
city. The property loss is immense.
IL is placed at present at about $780,
100000. This does not include de-
creased value of realty and at present
lots can be bought for a song. 1t will
be probably years before people gen.
orally can be persuaded to build in the
storm-swept section"
Mr.. Albee is a son of the former
president Of lie First National Bank
of Mayville and was supposed to have
persisted in the cyclone. Mr.. Rosholt
is we'll known throughout the north
west as a banker of high standing.

MAN SENT TO THE ASYLUM FROM
THE STATE PENITENTIARY IS
DEAD.
jamestown, Sept. 24.-Friday at the
asylum occurred the death of Joe Mon
ray, an Italian patient who was COM
mitted many years ago to the asylum
from the state penitentiary and re-
committed from Stark county. Mon
ray is the man on whom the defense in
the manslaughter case against ]. A.
Coad, tried at the July term of court,
attempted to fix the crime Of causing
the death of Mike Gleason. 1t will
probably never be known whether Mon
ray was guilty of the act or not. He
was vicious enough according to the
testimony of many : witnesses and
needed but an opportunity to do such a
deed. The members of the jury in the
case against Coad were, it is said, of
the opinion that Monray was the one
who kicked and abused Mike Gleason
Monray died of tuberculosis.

WILSON'S RANCH.
E. H. WILSON ESTABLISHES 4
RANCH IN KIDDER COUNTY
GOOD LAND AND GOOD BUILD

lNGS.
Steele Ozone: The Ozone is pleased
to record the opening of all new enter
prises by old or new settlers, whenever
it can get the data. This week we are
able to announce the starting of work
in an entirely new ranch establish
ment in Kidder county-that of ex-
Warden E. H. Wilson, Of Bismarck,
who has a section and a half of superb
meadow land slightly east of a point
% miles north of Steele.
This summer Messrs. E. H. C. Smith
and T. w. Allshouse put up by contract
about 300 tons of hay on the Wilson
land, and the owner has now COM
pleted arrangements for erecting build
ings there. Work is to begin at once,
if the weather keeps good it's promise
OF clearing up, upon the buildings.
They will consist mainly of a comfort
able house 1Sx24, and a we'll built barn
and shed 2Sx112 feet. Mr.. Beaver has
the job of putting up the buildings,
and lumber is to be on the way at once.
Mr.. Wilson has a lot of stock to win
ter at the ranch.
This is the sort of development that
goes to show the confidence people who
have lived here and near here for years
have in North Dakota, and in this part
OF the state.

QUIET PREVAILS.
QUIET is UNCHANGED IN THE RE-
GION OF THE COAL STRIKE.

Hazelton,, Pa, Sept. 2G-Perfect
quiet prevails in this region this morn
ing. The statement that soldiers
would soon be here has had the effect
of stopping the marching and parading
Of strikers. 1t is thought the per-
ators will concentrate their efforts.
This county is giving Coke, Markle
and Paradee all possible support. The
Markle mines closed today. Meetings
will be held both by employees and
union miners. Markle probably will
try to reopen today or tomorrow but
the miners say the mines will be kept
closed now.

A CALL TO DUTY.

"A CALL 10 DUTY.
Sing me a nobler song, my Muse, that
breathes
in its grim meter, Duty to my soul,
That lulls me not with cadences that
Like honey from the tongue. A song
that wreathes
For me a crown of thorns, whose end
less sting
Spurs me to Doing. Muse, thus shalt
thou sing.
Strike me another harp, my Muse, that
sounds
\ diapason deep, that wakes my life
From slothful sleeping to the din and
strife
Of the great soul, that, leaping, bursts
its bounds,
Swells from its shore to shore, like a
vast sea,
And in the grandeur of it's breadth is
Free.
Sing me a Song of Life, my Muse, that
tells
Not lulling love or drowsy sentiment,
A grander song, into my being sent
To wake my soul to fullness, and that
sWells
To greatest flood of Good my little
tides
And brings to Being what in me
abides!

A Texarkana Man in South Africa,

A Texarkana Man in South Africa.
Dan 7. Long, who will be remem-
bered here as a clerk in Charlie
Reeves undertaking establishment,
has drifted off to South Africa and
writes back the following letter to
his old employer, which is quite
democratic document for one to
write while in the employ of Eng
land:
CAPE Town, May 8, 1900,
CAPE COLONY, SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear friend, c. M. Reeyes:-Since
I saw you in old Texarkana in 1898 I
have seen quite a lot of this world.
I lived In Shreveport, La, for about
8 months, then went to Alexandria,
La, stayed there 3 weeks, but in
that time l saw an ad for men to go
to South Africa with mules, so l
answered the ad, got a place as
foreman on the steamship Motezuma
at fair wages. She carried 1876
mules, 85 men (muleateers), besides
everything necessary for the voy'
age, also ships crew of 30 to 60 men.
The mules" were for the British
army in "the war" against the two
little republics, Orange Free State
and the Transvaal. l will start out
by saying England has never owned
or claimed to have owned any part
of the two republics, and its almost
wholly Englands fault that "this"
most unholy war is forced upon
"the two little REPUBLIC" as Eng
land absolutely refused to arbltrate
"the so-called" Uitlander (foreigner)
franchise. The little republics tried
every way to keep out of war, know
ing the history of Great Britain.
So when all else failed, Paul Kruger,
declared or began war in self,de-
fence and have more than held
their own on many fieldssof battle.
But we all know a few thousand
farmers can not hold out much
longer against the British empire,
and unless "the powers intervene.
England will annex the two repub,
lies who have fought as no people
have ever before. Speaking of the
franchise, / have yet to see one man
who has lived among the Boer peo-
Pile that wanted the franchise.
Euglishmen we're willing to take the
franchise, provided however, they
did not have to bear arms in "the
defense" of their adopted country.
The whole thing in a nut shell, there
are few Gentle capitalist and
lot of Observation-Disclosures that con-
cocted the scheme to kick up row,
pull England into it, and these fel-
lows had it figured out that it would
just take England 60 days to be in
Pretoria, and before "the other
powers" would know anything about
it they would be in possession. In
stead, the thing (war) has lasted 7
months and the British are not in
Pretoria yet. do hope Uncle Sam
will be at the head of the list for
intervention speedily" All true
Americans here are of the same
opinion. TEXAN.
