MUCH INTEREST IN
 THE STREET FAIR EIkS Are Hard at Work on the
 Arrangements. BIG MEETING LAST NIGHT One of the Managers Pointed Out the Advantages to Accrue to the
 City-Better Than
 An Exposition
BIG MEETING LAST NIGHT

The Elks held a large and enthusiastic meeting last night to complete the details of the arrangements for the grand street fair to be given here during the week be- ginning May II, under the auspices of the local lodge.
 The several committees appointed at the last meeting reported that much encour- agement had been given them. and every indication points to a grand success.
 The committee on booths and privileges, which will call on the merchants, was ap- pointed as follows: pr. Ed Drennen, chair man; A. J. Hall, S. Solomon, Simon Klotz, J. J. Laughran, John Leedy, Tom Shields, II. A. Adams, J. J. Altman, Ed Cornwall, Erwin Schillinger.
 Much interest has been aroused in the movement, and questions are being asked on all hands as to the nature of the en- tertainment.
 Advantages of Street Fair One of the managers of the enterprise, who has had much experience, in discuss ing the event, said:
 "A street fair and midway like the one to be provided here, a combination that will attract larger crowds than an
 
 tain and please better. It will take city out of rut and shake it up, advertising the city it's merchants, its resources and it's advantages. There is no doubt that a street fair and midway produces more inn mediate results with less capital than any other form of public entertainment. A street fair costs less money to organize, employs more people, and gives larger financial returns to everybody. The cheap ness of admission Is a strong factor in the argument in favor of them. A man can take his entire family for very small sum of money, the admission being only 10 cents.
 There is big money for a city in a street fair and midway, in many and vari- ous ways It gives immediate results to manufacturers who exhibit, and as an ad- vertising medium they know the good it does them. All Glasses Mingle
 It is the biggest and best of modern ideas used to reach the consumer and thus is found in the exhibitor a supporter behind the throne. The poor citizen, who is housed up in the mills, factories, and foundries is more given to fun and frolc at street fair and midway than is his country cousin. The size of the city cuts no figure, for Paris, the greatest city in the world, holds it's street fair and mid way annually, giving the right of way to miles of it's grand boulevards and half of its sidewalks as well, through the center of the city, for the purpose of erecting booths and shows. And the swell ningles with the populace, and rubs shoulders with his poorest neighbor, and they all become one big family. It is one grand frolic. everybody being in good humor, and the results are always satisfactory"

had discovered. Also he desired the ad-

despite Arthur's promise he did not trust
him altogether The young man had de-

arise might do so again. SO Gebb deter

How the Deed Was Done.

Gebb quite agreed with Parge regard
ing the guilt of Alder, and on looking
back over the collective evidence he won
dered that he had not suspected him
before. No wonder he had come forward
TO defend Ferris, for. bad as he was, the
man had some conscience, and did not
wish to see a guiltless person hanged for
his crime. even though that person was
his rival in love. What Gebb could not
understand was why Alder had been so
kind TO Dean. and IL was TO ascertain
this among other things that he left
Parge as soon as he was able and went
off to Alder's rooms. The man was
dying. and for the clearance of all per-
