Glen, from its mother at Auburn H.,

Auburn This spring they removed to
Springfield, but Williams became dis

to a hospital here and a month ago,
taken home by her fatner. Yesterday
afternoon Williams appeared at the
Harvey residence and asked his wife
to take the child and leave with him.
She refused when he threatened his

law, caught the horses reinS and
tried to prevent his leaving and he

let go. He then drove towards Loami.

STATE FAIR PROFIT
SECRETARY TRUE FIGURES THE
SHOW EARNED sa,7s4.2a.
MUCH MONEY FOR NEXT
Board of Managers Has Some $4,000
Already Available for 1903 Badger
Pumpkin Exhibition-Drafts for
$4,000 in Premiums Have All
Been Mailed to Winners.

The state fair netted a profit of
SS,7S4.2S, as computed yesterday by
John M. True, secretary of the board
OF managers, after all the premiums
had been sent out by draft and the
expenses and receipts finally checked
up. The fair cost total of S31,619.25.
which includes some $4,000 in pre-
mlums, all the labor, printing and adj
vertising and incidental expenses. The
total receipts were S35,403.4S, of
which S2S,596 was taken in at the
gates and grandstand and S6,SO7.4S
was received from privileges, entries
in the speed department, stall rent.
etc.
There was balance in the treasury
of the fair at the close OF the show a
year ago Of S4,022.91, which with the
amount cleared in the enterprise this
year leaves a balance now on hand OF
S,S17.14. The association receives
from the state a little over $4,000,
thus the managers have available for
the 1908 fair almost $4,000. The as
ISOLATION has outstanding an indebt-
edness of perhaps $1,000, which will
diminish this sum by that amount.

Shaw Opposes Revision.

Chicago, Sept. 23-Secretary Shaw
last night spoke at North side Turner
hall on Commerce. He considered
especially the democratic demand for
free raw material and defined from
his point of view what is raw ma
terial. He presented statistics to
prove that the cancelling of the tariff
would not benefit American working
men and said the policy of protection
had built up industries in all lines. He
also quoted figures to show that our
commerce was largely due to the
workings of a protective policy and
that the balance of trade is in our
favor.
