GALEsRURo pIsoUsTED
With LIS STREET EAR

Inc IollOWlnR - from the GaleSDurR
publican-Register:
THE street fair is at an end and.
there is time for retrospection. Much
that will be said about the fair should
have been said beforehand. The Re
publican-Register has been free to
discriminate between what was good
and what was bad in the fair. It has
neither praised nor ceusured indis-
criminately. 1t has pointed out what
was good and has exposed what was
low and demoralizlng. To review the
case.
"In the main the free street shows
were unobiectionable and entertain
ing. The parades by the Khorn rsan
and travelling men were humorous,
amusing and really meritorious The
animal shows were good. A few of
the sideshows were good. Thus far
there is no criticism.
1.-The orien al shows that were
allowed to run were disgrace The
character of these was known in a
general way before the shows came
here The first night it was evident
that their performances were of a
vulgar type. They should have been
shut of at once One local affair was
prohibited. but the two outside ones
were permitted to run under
full Roadway The statement was
given out that they were tanned down,
but the last night their announce
menIs were holder and more sug-
gestive than ever. They were in sug-
gestion too vile to print. Thee
creatures made money by appeal
ing to prurient curiosity and
they were suffered to do it
all the week They threw
stigma upon the week that is hard
to wipe out. Respectable people who
came here from outside towns at
least had a right to ask why Gales
burg should haunt such sNows in
their faces. They might a. ( with

"a tide from this ano her hig Nly

Main street was most anything but a
court of honor. 1t was a boulevard
of roughness and rudeness. Young
people of both sexes surged back and
forth taking liberties with one an
other that they would never indulge
in on ordinary occasions 1t was i'm
possible to stop these actions in so
large and dense a crowd.
"'In consequence of the fact that I \

thing that the fair authorities could
not prevent. They were natural ac-
compartments. as proved by the &C
counts of street fairs in other cities.

Seasons Fashions In Furs,

From transparent gowns tC furS is a
far cry seemingly. but the season of
the one is the season of the other. and
the wise woman does not wait until
the snow flies to settle the question of
her winter wraps. Fur garments of ev
cry conceivable length will be worn
next winter. A little chinchilla coat is
made in the popular blouse shape. The
blouse is held in at the waist by a belt
OF suede leather. The full bishop sleeves
are also terminated by band of suede
at the wrists. The use of the suede is
an excellent idea. since it does away
with the clumsy effect of the fur blouse
as ordinarily made. A long paletot of
sealskin which reaches quite to the bot
tom Of the skirt and is worth king
ransom is the other extreme in the
length Of fur garments. The cloak is
faced with beautiful sables. and with
II is carried an immense 'grannie"
mum. Between these two extremes is
three-Quarter length coat of sable.
The revers are very large, and the
sleeves are in bishop shape.

Salad Eating Good Sense.

Even men are progressing gastronom-
ically. Scientific dietetics has at last
revealed TO US the fact that the woman
who eats salad on a hot day in July.
August or September is displaying

Eat. The long haired dreamer in the
restaurant may have been nineteen diff
ferent kinds Of a fool upon every other
proposition in life. but he knew what
TO eat on a hot day. The human ami
NAL needs grass or its equivalent In
summer. With their oil the salads sup
ply everything a man physically needs
in hot weather. All the civilized races
of the world are salad eaters. but Amer
leans eat less than do any other people.
1t Is not sign of mental decay or NOR
al degeneracy for man to eat salad; il
is gastrolomic sense.

RAILWAY RUMBUES.

Ireland claims the honor of the first
electric railway in the United King
dom.
1t is said that the cheapest railv ay
fares in the world are to he found in
Hungary.
Denmark has government railroad
system of 1.161 miles and 525 miles of
private railroads.
The Servian. Roumanian and Bulga-
rian railroads are owned exclusively
by the respective governments.
Travellers on Prussian railways whose
baggage, through no fault of their
own, fails to arrive with them can now
have it sent on request free to their
houses.
The difficulty of railway construction
in some parts of Africa is illustrated
by the fact that on the Freetown- Mat
tru line. in Sierra Leone. eleven steel
bridges had to be built in a distance of
only thirty kilometers.
A representative of the Paris Temps
has been examining railway stations in
Germany. and he declares that those of
Dresden. Cologne. Hanover. Frankfort,
Bremen. etc. are far superior to any
of the French except the Partisan.
