EVERYTHING
IN READINESS.
What Promises TO Be the Biggest
and Best Fair Ever Held in the
County Mill Be Opened TO the
Public T0ddu.
Grounds Present a Most animated fiD-
p6aranGe. Extensive DISPLAYS in EvGry
Department. Good Weather and BIG
Crowd Assured.

This Thursday morning another
city will open for business in Grant
county, the show city known as the
Grant county fair. 1t is city in
miniature, an evanescent citvcontinu
ing but two days, but in that time
expects TO count its population by the
thousand. The work of preparation
Tuesday and Wednesday is well adj
vanced and this morning will usher
in the fair with every department in
readiness. Not only viii there be
strong competition in all departments
but one section of the show will vie
with another in the excellence of its
attractions, in the way they are dis
played and in their beauty or utility.
The agricultural section will be
particularly strong this year. The
fair has been an educator, and much
of the success and progress of farm
life and the excellence of its products
are due to the fall exhibition where
each exhibitor can see his own defects
or weakness and learn from his rivals
the arr OF being winner himself.
l. LlC OuAAul al c. HIOlL Will attest
this fact in many ways. There will
be large variety, more farmers will
make exhibits and ii is said that the
quality is SO good that the Judges will
find greater difficulty than ever in
making decisions.
The exhibit of live stock Will SUI
pass that OF any previous wear in
point OF quality and quantity and
some finely bred individuals may be
seen. A number of herds of cattle
were on the grounds as early as We'd
nesday morning and they continued
TO roll in all day.
Agriculture and farm implements,
carriages, wagons and vehicles of
every description will be especially
attractive to the very large class OF
people directly interested in the farm.
But the men are not to absorb all the
glory and prises, for the department
allotted to women's work is not only
attractively filled, but the display
leaves the common place and prosaic
and enters the realm of art. 1t is safe
to promise, from the points of beauty,
neatness taste and artistic perfection
that the art hall will be unqualitiedly
one of the best on the grounds. \
capable committee of ladies is in
charge and their efforts have trans
formed the general mberness of the
building
Then there's the domestic display
where the bread, cakes. canned goods
and jeilies and pickles made by our
mothers and sisters will be the tempt
ing and savory attraction.
The turf contests will be exciting
as usual and the chances are good for
for some broken records. \ number
of fast ones are down on the program
and those wishing to see 4 good horse
race will be amply repaid.

John Lam bert, driver of Barney

and would do credit to hair raising

rubber tire on the pneumatic sulky
became loosened and Topped about
the axle. Lam bert pushed his horse
around the first half with one wheel
running upon its felly. This hazard
Gus course was pursued around to the
last quarter with the PAGER still lead
ing the bunch, when suddenly the
sulky collapsed. The slack on the
rein and the crash of the vehicle
frightened Barney and he made a
sudden spring forward. Consterna-
ton reigned in the grand stand and
everyone expected TO see Lambert
thrown TO the ground, runaway with
dire consequences, etc. With cat
like spring however, the plucky
driver leaped from the broken, falling
vehicle to the back of the PAGER,
seated himself and soon checked his
mad career. He rode the spirited
animal down under the wire and got

assemblage ahd indeed it was merited.
At every instance IN heats that

recipients of applause whenever they

Atty. L. Philipson had charge of
the various athletic events and had
them pulled off in plain view of the

was holly contested for.

The Crime With Which he Is CHARGED
Committed Two Years Ago. Other Jail
Notes.

On the 11th day Of Septembe Der in
the year 1898 two watches-one gold
and the other silver-a sum of money
and few articles Of jewelry were
stolen from the residence of John
White, farmer residing in the town
of Mt. Ida. Authorities were notified
and worked diligently in search of
clue to determine the identity of the
thief, but their efforts were fruitless.
No trace could be unearthed. Within
short time however suspicious were
directed toward ALI. Hayes. young
man employed about the neighbor-
hood, whose reputation previously
had been anything but spotless. He
disappeared before being accused and
as time went on proofs were estab-
lished of his guilt, and warrant
issued for his arrest. Not long after
his departure one OF the watch chains
was found in a bayfield, on the Car
mody farm near by and later develop
ments furnished additional light. 1t
was learned by investigation that
Hayes sold the works of the watch to
Weber, the Fennimore iewelryman,
not long after its theft from the White
homestead. Well. TO make a long
story short, Hayes has been a much
sought individual and Sheriff Fawcett
displayed considerable sagacity last
week in effecting his capture at Aus
tin. MINI. The young man was also
being pursued by Cresco, Qa.) officials
who were hot on his trail for depre-
dations committed near there, and
when disposed of here it is likely that
he will fall into their hands.
The Grant county officer returned
with his catch Wednesday of last
week At Fennimore the prisoner
was taken before Justice Weaver and
waived examination, being bound
over to trial at circuit court. Bonds
were fixed at $500 but were not pro-
cured and the young man is Ian
gushing behind the bars of the coun-
" jail.
There are at this writing five pris-
oners in the county Jail awaiting trial
at the regular term of circuit court
next month. The four besides ALI
HAYES mentioned above are:
