No small part Of the fair occnred
in town. While during the day the
town had practically deserted np
pearance, yet in the evening it was
crowded with visitors from all parts
of the county and many from ont
side. The electric light company
had prepared sign of "Welcome'
composed of 122 lights of various
colors with switch which caused it
to be continually appearing and dis
appearing. This was strung across
the street in front of the Union Hotel
and was admired by all. Many Of
the visitors declaring that they could
not understand how town tho size
of Lamar could support an electric
plant capable of making such dis
play.
The opera house and vnri,ns
places of resort in the town furnish
ed amusement for the visitors daring

A Success beyond the Expectation Of Anybody Attendance
about $1,000 Fine Exhibits in all Lines Plenty OF

and General Good Time.

The first fair of the Prowers Coun-
ty Fair Association is now thing OF
the past, and 1t is safe to say that Its
success has far surpassed the hopes
of its most enthusiastic promoters.
There has never been fair in the
state which started off its first year
with such brilliant record. There
were a number of causes which made
this possible. In the first place as
one farmer told us Nature did large
part of the work in giving us the
most beautiful fair grounds in the
state already made, better than we
could possibly have ordered it. In
the second place there was the as
sistance of the many farmers, who
have been begging the town people
to take hold of this enterprise for II
number of years, and we're all happy
that it was at last an assured fact,
and then above all else was the
systematic and thorough manner in
which the promoters aud officers of
the association did the arduous work
which was entrusted to them. All
are deserving of the greatest praise.
The officers of the association were
A. N. Parrish, president; w. j..
Johnston, vice president; Granny
Hillyer, treasurer; A. E. Downer,
secretary; G. M. Lee, assistant secre-
tary. .-is'<

ex officio.
During the three days of the fair
it is estimated that fully 5000 peo
pie attended, half of whom were
present on Frontier Day, Friday.
The gate receipts were far above ex
pectations, and it is probable that
even then they were reduced con
siderably by the necessity of making
postponement over THURSDAY, which
was originally intended to be the
Frontier Day.
The grounds, which are densely
shaded throughout except where the
race track is, have been put in excel
lent condition by those in charge,
and the race track was pronounced
by the visiting horsemen to be the
best in the valley. A large water

the operator succeed in making a
success of this part Of the entertain
ment and it was the only failure of
the whole fair.
The races of course attracted the
| greatest attention and the grand
stand and all the space near the
home stretch was crowded through
out the three days. All the events
were interesting and we'll contested,
but the two cowboy races were more
attractive to the people than any of
the others. The time on the second
day was 1852, within 2 seconds of the
record in the valley, and the record
if the tact that all race horses were
barred is taken into consideration.
The boys all rode we'll and made
their changes with remarkable quick
ness. Starter W. M. Wiley did good
work in getting the races promptly
started and preventing as far as pos
sible the tiresome habit of jockeying.
The summary or the races is as fol-

CROP GETS A BOOST
Excellent Weather Of the Past
Week Has Proved Very
Beneficial.
MUCH OF 1T IN "R0As1ING EAR 9
Rains Have Somewhat Retarded the Pros
zress of Stacking and Threshing-
Pasturage Is Good Again and
the Ranges Greer.

-iuron, S. D., Aug. 16-The weather
and crop bulletin for the week ending
August -, issued from the Huron sta
tion is as follows:
The temperature during the week
averaged about the normal, with mod
| erately cool nights. Good to copious.
and in some localities heavy rains oc-
CURED generally, and reports Indicate
that there was no appreciable portion
OF the state, except possibly in the
range region west of the Missouri river
whence no reports are received, that did
not receive beneficial ram some time
during the week
The harvesting of wheat, oats, bar
ley, rye and speltz is practically COM
pleted, reports indicating that only In
some extreme northern and Black
Hills localities is there some wheat and
oats yet to be harvested. Stacking and
shock threshing are far advanced in
southern counties, although slightly re-
tarded by rains, and thresher returns
snow that some yields of all the grains
are exceeding what was expected at
harvest time. Practically the entire
crop of small grain has been nicely Sc
cured, and there is as yet no report OF
damage to grain in shock or stack by
the recent rains.
-oiil, pdTllculdriE lne late, winch
comprises much of the crop, has been
considerably improved by the :oountiful
rains of this week, in addition to the
fairly distributed showers of the pre-
cedlng week, and a large majority of
reports indicate healthy appearance and
very evident Improvement. Some of
the best early corn is in roasting ear
stage.
The condition Of pastures, millet.
more particularly the late, late and
medium late flax, and late potatoes.
has improved, and in some middle and
northern localities the improvement
in lax and millet is marked. Some
early flax has been harvested in south
ern localities, and some is just blossom
ing IN northern counties. The prospect
tor potatoes continues poor, except
owe" limited areas.
Hay, although interrupted to some
extent by the rains, made rapid adj
Vancement. The work is far advanced.
Notwithstanding unusual acreage is be
Ing cut and the indications are on the
whole, for good crop. Pasturage is
good again, and range grass is reported
in some localities as green as it was
early in the season.
A hail storm over part of the west
ern portion of Beadle county did con-
siderable damage to some fields of corn.

The prospect for apples in the sec

PROTECTED FROM COLLECTORS.
sisneton Indians Draw Their Money in
Undisturbed Peace.

Sisseton, s. D., Aug. 15.-The $15o,OO0
payment to the Sisseton Indians is
progressing rapidly under the new Sis
seton agent, Earl Macarthur, who is as
sisted by Special Agent McComus. One
hundred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars has been paid to these Indians
in one weeks time, which surpasses all
previous records for fast work
Last week, when the payment began,
the Sissetons held a council and de-
cided to ask for more strict regulations
against the large number of collectors
who gather about the agency and seek
to make their collections both night
and day. The demands of the Sis
setons were granted by the Indian de-
partment. Special police were station
ed at short distances along 1.-The red
flag line" which encircles the agency,
and which at all points is about half
mile from the place Of payment.
Across this line no persons except In
dams We're allowed. Thus the collec-
tors were required to remain in tents
on the outside, and when the Indian
wished to see them he could come out,
or If not he could remain within the
line as long as he desired.
