TFs5lSSTS;INNESOTA'S fair, tho largest
)W " Wl and most successful exhibition
,YA "A vi Of the kind in America, has be-
IEA "A vi come an annual event. Of vast
ESSSA Importance in the industrial af-
fairs Of the west. The products Of the
farm, Of the factory and Of all branches
of industry at 1t are gathered for display.
1t was a wise choice on the part OF the
managers that the fair was placed where
it is. Minnea polls has become the loglcal
state fair center. Recognition or the fu-
ture greatness of Minneapolis led to the
fairs being placed between the two cities,
in days when Minneapolis was just a
growing city and no more. But Mime
apolis grew and has opened her arms 80
wide that now people OF nearly the whole
of the state on their way to the fair are
caught by them. People from the north,
came to Minneapolis first on their way
to the fair. Even If they came to
it by way Of the capital city, ac-
cess to the flour city has been made SO
easy that they come on to the greater
CITY, The railroads have made 1t easy.
Minneapolis greatness could not be 1g-
nored by the roads and this recognition has
been associated with general recognition
by the people Of the fact that Minneapolis
Is "the state fair" city.
AS the products of the farm from all
directions meet in this market, 80 the peo-
pie from all parts or the northwest ana
from the southwest meet here to view the
industrial results Of the year.
In the successful handling Of big fair,
1t Is necessary not only that the location
should be central but there should be
facilities for housing and handling the
people The state fair visitor wants
comfort as we'll as a good time. Mime
apolis is exceptionally well equipped with
hotel facilities and means Of transit. The
state fair furnishes thousands Of north
western people an annual outing which
they are always willing to repeat.
AS a rule, agricultural fairs are not a
success. Many reasons have been as
signed for failures and one always to be
remembered Is the poor management.
The Minnesota state fair has had the
advantage of good business management.
But with this, If the fair were not SO To-
Gated as to command good patronage, the
result might be different. Minneapolis Is
the largest city by long margin in the
state and the patronage Of its people is
a big item In the fairs financial results.

MINNESOTA IS FIRST
Her State Fair EcIpses All Others In
Country.


Country.
The Minnesota state fair has occupied
first place among the state fairs Of Ameri-
ca for a number of years. This means
that it not only has the most numerous
exhibits, but that it pays more and larger
premiums and has a larger attendance
than any other fair. 1t has even sur
passed the great Canadian fair at Tor
onto, until recently the largest in Ameri-
Conspicuous among the reasons for the
marvellous success Of the Minnesota fair
has been it's conservative, yet most prog
ressive and business-like management.
Most of the members of it's official family
have been interested In the fair GoE
many years, and have taken a personal
pride in building it up on broad lines
for the good Of the state Self-nterest
has been waived and the interests Of the
people Of a great commonwealth con-
suited. This has made the Minnesota fair
not political stepladder-as Is the case
in some states-but a. business institu-
tion managed on business principles and
with g. large degree Of practical common
sense.
One of the most notable undertakings
which the fair has put under way has
been the establishment of national live
stock exhibits. These exhibits have now
become a permanent part Of the fair and
have already done much towards develop
ing the stock growing industry In this
part Of the country. Their future inf1u-
ence on the success Of farmers and the
progress Of the dairyin@ industry cannot
be estimated.
"Forty- third" is the numeral applied to
the state fair which will open next Mon
day, Sept. I. That is the announcement
On the bills, and by the system Of num-
bering, long since adopted the numeral Is
correct, but the state fairs such such
stormy times in the early days-there
were so many breaks and intermissions
that it would puzzle a. "Philadelphta law
YER to state just when the first state fair
was held, and to give an accurate reason
why this is the forty third.
First Fair In 1857.
The earliest territorial agricultural fair
held in Minnesota was by the Hennepin
, County Agricultural society, at Minneap-
oils, in October, 1854. Colonel John H.
Stevens was president Of the society, Joel
B. Bassett, Alexander Moore, Warren
Bristol, H. Fletcher, A. E. Arnes, John

Welding Aluminium.

In the Herans process of welding
aluminium the operation consists of
cleaning the surfaces of the metal to
be joined, laying them together and
heating them carefully to the tempera-
ture at which the metal commences to
soften, keeping at that temperature, and
meanwhile hammering together to a
perfect weld. 1t is important that the
temperature be kept constant. If it
rises too high the metal becomes
short or granular and commences to
oxidize, a condition which renders the
weld useless.

MYSTERIOUS
OMAHA DEATHS
MINISTER AND YOUNG WOMAN
FOUND DEAD.
IN CHURCH AUDITORIUM
Bodies Locked in. Embrace and Gas
Turned On-At First Believed to
Be Case of Double Suicide-Min-
lister Parted from His Wife-Dead
Woman Missionary.

Omaa, Neb., Nov. 6.-The Rev. Viii
liam G. Rabe, pastor of the German
Baptist church, and Miss Augusta
Rush, young woman living il that
neighborhood, were found dead yes
terday in a vestibule in the rear OF the
church auditorium. The two todies
were locked in embrace and the gas
jets were turned on but not burning.
The coroner was notified and took
charge Of the bodies. 1t was at first
believed to be a case of double suicide.
Miss Busch spent all Tuesday sew
ing at the residence of Henry Dirkson
where Rabe lived. In the evening she
left her home at the residence Of
JanitOr Berndes. 1t is thought prob
able she met Rev. Mr.. Rabe returning
home and that the two went to his
study in the rear Of the church where
the tragedy occurred They had al
ways been goodfriends, but NJ stronger
feeling is said to have made itself ap-
parent by those who knew them.
Mrs. Berndes supposed the dead
woman was in her room until Mrs.
Schalkau, hOusekeper for habe, mott
fed her that Rabe had not been at
home during the night. Then it was
discovered that Miss Busch had not
occupied her room. A search was
made for them. The janitOr went to
the pastors study and found the door
locked and the key on the inside.
From the crack beneath the door he
smelled gas. He summoned the police
and the door was broken. In the
center Of the study the bodies lay, the
heads just a few feet from the door
One gas jet above the pastors table
was partly turned off and from the
stove gas was escaping. The door from

suicide, for On the table was the open

The letter was found to be an answer
to another letter which Rabe had re-
ceived and there was nothing to 1ndi-
cate they had intended taking their
lives. Rabe was 81 years of age and
came to Omaha from Buffalo, n. Y,
where he was chosen pastor of the
German Baptist church. In that state
he left his wife, who is attending a
