r~ouramme

Is n Special Attraction which Will
Prove More Than Pleasing 20 h
Patrons of the Fatr-DiversiHed
Programme.
The Kemp Sisters Hippodrome and
| Wild West is beyond question the best
special attraction of the character
which has ever been provided by the
State Fair management. 1t Is unus-
| ual, and the programme Is diversified.
There was first a Roman chariot
| race, in which the drivers we're Frank.
and Miss Kemp. Then a pony chariot
| race, in which the drivers were
little Misses Ida and Mida Kemp.
| Both were interesting. Col. V. #,
Cody and May Cody gave a very cred
liable exhibition of fancy rifle shoot
Ing on the half mile track In front OF
the grand stand, and won the applause
of the crowd.
w. p. Creswell gave an exhibition Of
fancy and trick bicycle riding. His
| feats of balancing and juggling on his
| wheel, and his use of the lasso while
| riding were at once novel and enter
tanning.
Frank Kemp and Ida Kemp rode a
| half mile against a riderless horse.
and little Miss Kemp rod a diminu-
tive pony which did some excellent
jumping. There was a cowboy race
for a bride, once around the track, tho
winner taking the girl from the back
Of the broncho which she was riding
at full speed.
Perhaps the most interesting M
we'll as the most amusing feature OF
the Wild West programme was the IL
lustration of the method employed by
the western cowboys in melting out
summary vengeance upon the pest OF
the plains, the horse thief. The sleep
ing cowboy held his horse by a halter.
The thief, a negro, crept up on all
fours, stole the horse, mounted II, and
the owner awoke and fired several
shots after him. The thief was pur-
sued by a band of cowboys, lassoed
and pulled from the horse. Then he
was dragged for q hundred yards
along the track at the end of the las
so. to a point where a halter awaited
him. He was promptly strung up, and
all the cowboys fired shots into his
dangling body. 1t was very realistic.
This programme will be. repeated
each day.

Tuesday is really the opening day of
the Fair, and yesterday the weather
was not propitious. but notwithstand-
ing the attendance was away above the
average. In the morning there was a
shower, which settled the dust, but I'M
fortunately cooled an atmosphere
which was already sufhciently cool.
The rain fell at an opportune time,
however. as IL left the grounds and
the track in excellent shape for the re-
mainder OF the week. During the az
ternoon the sky was heavy. and no
doubt the probability of a storm had
some effect upon the attendance.

ment has been fulfilled. The fair Is

But They started Late in the After
noon, and But One Was Finished.
Postponed Until To-day.
The races on the first day were
above the average. II was three
O'Clock before the first heat Of the 2:16
pace was contested, and as there were
five heats in that race and four in an
other, the speed programme was not
carried out.
The 2:40 trot brought out some prom
Using horses, and several Of the heats
easy for Jim Fenton, however.
The PIG pace was a great race. The
track was a trife heavy from the ear
ly morning rains. and but for this fact
would probably have been about two
seconds faster. , The race was unfin-
ished, and will be the special card for
one o'clock this afternoon, with all the
horses that have won heats as the con-
testants, namely: Hal Stockings, Joan,
Version and Dakota. One or two more
heats will be necessary. The final heat
of yesterday afternoon was very pretty,
the finish being one of the prettiest and
most exciting ever witnessed on the
track.
The 2s18 Pace.
Version was the favorite with the
talent, but Star Onward was backed
heavily to win TIE heat. The field Of

something Everybody should see.

The greatest attraction to be seen at
the State Fair is the Statue Turning
to Life" This wonderful exhibition
needs no comment. Thousands OF
people saw it recently at the Carnival.
Mr.. Morris has brought here this Time
as an extra attraction. something that
is far more mystifying than the above,
entitled 1.-The Flying Lady. The
most beautiful exhibition of this char
acter and the most puzzling ever seen
in America for two consecutive years.
Mr.. Morris exhibited it at the Egyp-
tan hall in London. Remember this
is part OF your visit to the State Fair.
Vice President Roosevelt and party at
tended this exhibition last week at the
Minnesota State Fair.

RAILROADS AND THE CORN CROP.

In connection with the estimates that are being
made with respect TO the probable or possible
damage to the corn crop from the drouth and the
heat the following figures, showing the percentage
OF gross earnings represented by corn of several
of the principal corn carrying roads will be of in
terest: Last year the corn carried by the Atchson
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was a little less
than per of the total gross earnings; for St
Paul ii was 3SC per cent and for Rock Island 1t
11S4 per cent. In the case of Missouri Pa
clic the grains of all kinds amounted to 1903 per
cent. OF which about per cent represented by
corn If there should be a loss. therefore, of so
per cent in the crop 1t would affect the gross
earnings of the various roads named about
follows: Atchison 319 per cent: st. Paul. per
cent Rock Island, 5s4 per cent; Missouri Pacific
S14 per cent AS the general business of the coun-
try good and as the traffic of these roads is be-
coming diversified each year. the increase in
the earnings from other should more than
offset this loss in corn

BONDS.
THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Weather influences were again the paramount
features OF the stock and grain markets. The
grain market was up and the stock market was
down although the fluctuations were not i'm
portant in either. The trustworthy advices from
the corn belt were not encouraging, and 1t was
generally admitted that the probability OF even
an average yield of corn this year was TOO re-
mote to deserve active consideration inns iact'
however did not cause any genuine investment
louidatfon of stocks. Holders OF securltleS
are pretty well informed regarding the position
or the country's business and the intrinsic
zvorth Of investments and they therefore see
IN q corn crop failure this year no sound reason
for selling their stocks and bonds. Naturally.
light corn crop will affect railway earnings but
1t is hardly likely that the loss will be sufhclent
TO teopardize any dividends The railroads OF
the United States have been prosperous in the
last few years. They have been reorganlzed Oh
+. a basis that will carry them through periods OF
business depression. and their securities nave
been placed on a plane Of value that VIII not
he damaged intrinsically by the present weather
troubles in the West. The volume OF business
is tremendous. and there is little prospect that

year
The demand for breadstuffs this year for home
and foreign consumption is likely TO be heavy.
Higher prices for wheat and corn as compared
with last wears quotations are likely, although
n should be borne in mind that the wheat crops
are large and that there is an enormous supply
NJ corn left over from last summers harvest
While corn IS the first of the domestic crops IN
,otal value it's place in the foreign export move
ynent is under that of wheat and cotton. the
average export value of corn being for number
of wears S66 600 000 against S221 100000 for cot
ton. and s14S.Oo0,000 for wheat Foreign crops
have not Jared well this year, and the chances
are that the outward movement Of wheat from
this country will be enormous in the regular ac-
five exporting season that will soon begin. Many
small farmers may be badly embarrassed, but 1t
appears safe to say that the present run of
weather will not cause general bankruptcy in
the agricultural community. The farmers are.
as rule, in better financial condition than ever
before in the history Of the country.
There was little commission house business in
stocks and there were no noteworthy operations.
A midday rally carried values well above the
low level of the morning. but in the rest Of the
afternoon the tendency again toward cheap

during the first half of the year is yet 70 be
learned. The firm stand taken in establishing a
monthly scale of prices has changed the order or
the buying movement, and how this Will result In
the fall is uncertain. Consumers whose storage
bins full will not begin to come into the mar
ket until their stock is nearly exhausted as no ad
vantage will be gained in prices. There is possi-
bility, of course that the entire situation may be
affected by the labor disturbance which. If it
