recently whereby passengers

also come out with an order
which takes different direction.

more pleasant for travellers who
appreciate neatness. The new
order provides that conductors

He will Open the Minnesota
state Fair on Sept. 2. Great
National Livestock En-
hibitiOn to be Held
this Year.

The vice president of the
United States is to open the
Minnesota State Fair this year.
Teddy, the idol alike of the
New York reformers and the
western plains and one of
the most loved men in the coun-
try without respect to party, has
accepted an invitation to make
the opening address at the
Gopher state fair. In addition
the management has arranged
COR national live stock displays
by the Shorthorn and Hereford
associations, is offering $4,000
in premiums and purses, has
erected a new building costing
S25, 900, to increase the exhibi-
tion capacity Of the fair, an
nounces evening racing and spec
tacular fireworks for each night,
and, altogether, promises to make
the week Of September End
PARTICULARLY hot time in the towns
of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Up to 1900 the great Canadian
fair at Toronto was the largest
fair in America. Last year the
Cannncks were rather surprised
to find that the Minnesota fair
had exceeded their largest gate
receipts and was putting up
better exhibi ion in many ways.
The Minnesota fair managers
have established a reputation for
fulfilling their promises to ex-
hibitors and visitors. People
who go there are certain of see
ing big show, while St. Paul
and Minneapolis are interesting
cities to visit ION the'side. Low
rates are being made by the rail.
roads for the first week of
September.

Two unfortunate accidents
happened however that we1 very
much regretted, and were due
to the use of old guns that should
have been condemned years ago.
The first one happened when the
governor and his staff were
in the city to review the
troops. A salute was being
fired, by Battery A Of Clark,
when one load being rammed
into the cannon exploded pre-
maturely and took the thumb
and three fingers from the hand
of Sergeant Hunt, and at the
same time took off the thumb of
Private Wright. Later, on
Saturday afternoon, salute was
fired at the time of the parade,
and another cannon that was be-
ing used had a charge prema-
turely touched off by some
means. and the right hand Of
Private Mackey was blown off
and Private Smith had his thumb
split open.

The Aberdeen Races and
Carnival.

The City of Aberdeen is keep
ing up it's former reputation in
the line OF furnishing fall at
traction, and from all accounts
this carnival bids fair to eclipse
all former records. The princi-
pal attraction will be the races,
$4,000 being hung up in purses,
which will insure the lovers Of
horse flesh a rare treat, the
purses being such that the best
horses in the circuit will be on
the ground. In addition to the
races, the officers have taken
further step out of the ordinary
in securing first-class side attrac-
tions, among which will be a
brass band tournament in which
five Of the best bands in
the northwest will participate,
automobile races, high divers,
balloon races, balloon ascen-
sions, parachute leaps, grand
Midway Plaisance, and mill
tary contest by the best com
panies in the state. Excursion
trains will be run with reduced
fares on all the railroads. The
Carnival begins September 18th

Cheaper Fuel.

The people of the northwest
and especially here in South Da
kota where hard coal is $40 per
ton, will be pleased to learn of
the present outlook for cheaper
fuel. The Argus Leader OF re
cent date says:
''It begins to look as if there
would be some relief for the fuel
users Of the country. The latest
indications are that the big coal
trust and the oil people are about
to join battle. The wonderful
production of Oil in California
and Texas has commanded the
attention Of inventors and al
ready hundreds Of bright me-
chanics are at work on devices
for the use of fuel oil. This oil
which appears to be lying in al
most unlimited quantities is ex-
ceedingly cheap. All that is
needed to revolutionize the fnel
market is the invention of fur.
naces to safely and conveniently
burn it. Beyond question these
furnaces will soon be found.
When they are either the burn.
ing of coal will be largely aban
doned or the price must come
done. Vast capital is going into
the oil fields. 1t is not so great
as that behind the production Of
coal, but the lower cost of pro
ducing and the cheaper transpor.
tatlon give it an immense ad.
vantage in the contest. There
is strong hope that within a few
years coal will be largely sup
planted and oil will be the fuel OF
the people,"

Clara Bell Brown Says Anti suffraa
Women Work Quietly.

Clara Boil Brown Says Anti Suffrage
Women Work Quietly.
Des Moines. Nov. 29.-Mrs. Clara Bell
Brown. the anti sufragist, believes that
the suffrage OF women of the state have
made great mistake by claiming that
they have pledged q majority Of the
members in the legislature. She does
not particularly care to debate the suf-
frage question, but will not refuse If
challenged. Speaking Of the matter, she
said:
Il did not expect summons to de-
bate with Mrs. Belden when I said l
would accept, If challenged. There are
too many weak points in their armor for
armed with facts all over the country
and debating wastes time.
THE most foolish thing the Iowa
State Equal Rights Association can do
is to boast in advance Of having OBJ
tanned pledges from newly elected mem
bers Of the legislature.
Never halloa till you are out of the
woods is good plan. It would now
be In order for the names of men who
are under pledge to vote certain way
to be given to the public. lis unsafe
to boast of pledged politicians. They
have been known to change. AT any
rate. nearly all men hate to be publish
ed as having pledged themselves to vote
q certain way. A man who is most
conversant with state conditions told
me there was no danger OF Iowa going
for suffrage.
The idea that the anti-sufrage wom-
en- are rabid fighters and eager for bat
tile is very erroneous one. Person
ally. am rather an aggressive woman,
but the great mass OF women who do
not wish to vote prefer to use the quiet
influence which Is woman's most eff
fectiye weapon If the legislature should
see fit to let the people vote on the
question. I am convinced that II the
men OF Iowa consult their womenkind
before voting the measure will be de-
feated"

Judge Mcpherson Enters Order in the
CenterviIIe Case.

Judge Mcpherson Enters Order in the
CentervilIe Case.
| Des Moines, Nov. 29.-Judge McPher-
son has ordered the Centerville water
works to be sold, and has appointed Ed
ward r. Mason special master in chan
! Gerry to make the sale. This decree was
mailed Thursday to the attorneys In the
case. and is on file in the office of the
clerk of the circuit court. The case is a
complicated one, and is entitled the
Fidelity Trust and Security Company
against the Centerville Water Company
and the City Of Centerville. 1t came up
in the October term of the federal court
at Creston upon the report of William C.
Howell, master in chanceSy. This re-
port was objected to by the defendants,
and the form Of decree was argued be-
fore Judge Mcpherson at some length
last week. In ordering the property sold
the judge declares that 1t must be dis
posed of in its entirety. and the pro-
ceeds are to be used to liquidate all Of
the claims against 1t.
The Centerville Water Company in
August, 1895, issued bonds to the amount
of $4,000, giving trust deed to the
Fidelity Trust and Security Company as
security for these bonds. During the
same year 1t was authorized by the city
to construct plant, and the city agreed
to pay to the company an annual rental
of $500 per year for seventy public hy-
6rants. This rental was to be turned
over to the bondholders and was not to
come under control OF the company. The
next year the water works were turned
over to the city in consideration of q
cash payment of $4,000. The city re-
ceived the property subject to the in
cumbrance, but did not become respon-
sible for it's payment. 1t merely oper-
ated the plant and sold water to pri-
vate consumers. 1t still continued to
pay rental to the bondholders for the
public hydrants according to its previ-
GUS contract, which was for twenty-five
years. In February, 1900, the company
failed to make its payments on its
bonds, and in February of the next year
receiver was appointed. He took
charge Of the property. which had been
operated by the city.
The city is found to owe So $50 on rem
tai for hydrants, and this amount is adj
judged an asset of the company. Since
the property has been in the hands of
receiver 1t has contracted debt of 81
a25 on the same contract. The total
amount due on the bonds, with the in
terest which has accrued, is $53,4I3.75,
and 1t Is to pay this and other small
claims that the property is to be sold,
in case the defendant company does not
pay them

Work.
Lake City, Nov. 29.-Af Brainard's
grading outfit, consisting of crew of
men and 100 horses, scrapers. dirt wag-
ons, ETC.. were shipped in here yesterday
on nine cars from North Dakota, where
they have been working the past sum-
mer on the Northern Pacific. The outfit
is being unloaded and taken to point
eight miles south to work on the grade
of the Great Westerns Omaha extern
sion. Brainard has two-mile contract.
Macarthur Bros outfit is expected to-
day and other grading crews next week.
Dirt will soon be flying all along the line
from Fort Dodge to Omaha. Substantial
buildings are being erected for the men
and horses, and the intention is to con-
tinue work all winter.
Right-of-way is being rapidly secured
and options on land suitable for town
sites has been purchased in several To-
calities.
The plan Of the Great Western seems
to be to avoid all old established towns
and put in new towns OF its own. For
instance, the line will run few miles
north Of Lohrville and cross the North
western at point five miles east Of
here.
