Success Assured.

Even at this early date there is
assurance that the State Fair to be
held at Pueblo, in September-23,
"a, 25, 28 and 27-will be the most
attractive exposition ever held by
any association in Colorado. The
grounds are finely located and we'll
supplied with conveniences for the
comfort and pleasure Of both the ex-
hibitor and visitor.
The Public Comfort committees
are working like beavers, and moth
ing will be left undone to afford first
class accommodation at reasonable
prices for the sight-seers. This will
be no half.spirited, halr-hesrted at
tempt which is so common through
out the country on similar occasions,
but the State Fair committees will
spare neither time nor pains in max
ing strangers feel at home. The
State Fair is q permanent institu.
ton and will make warm friends and
staunch supporters in every county

Dislocated Jaw in Talking.

BINGnAMToN, April 26.-Mrs. Mary
Everett, Of this city, nearly died from
talking as tho result of peculiar ac-
cident. She was ON her way to visit
her brother in tho village Of Windsor,
and had been laughing and chattering
on tho train. She is q woman of viva
CiOns temperament, and, while in tho
omnibus on the way from the sta
ton, her mouth suddenly refused to
close. In this predicament she was
unable to speak plainly, but suffered
no pain except the inconvenience of
being unable to close her mouth.
The strain told on her, however, and
tho omnibus was driven rapidly to the
homo of her brother, j. E. Bennett.
Tho family were waiting on the porch
to welcome her. They wore shocked
Mt her peculiar plight, and the strain
had thrown her into nervous con6i-
ton bordering on hysterical exhaustion.
DIR. j. L. Smith was called. and an
examination disclosed that Mrs.
Everett had dislocated her jaw in open
ing her mouth. 1t required a strong
eifDrt to slip tho bones again into place.
