The County Fair.

Things have been humming at
the fair grounds this week. A
large force of men have been at
work getting everything in shape
to entertain the big crowd which
will be on hand when the gates
open next Tuesday. If the weather
is favorable the fair will undoubted-
ly prove the most successful in the
history of the association. The ex-
hlbit OF live stock will be a feature
Last year the stable was ENLARGED
but additional sheds are being buiIt
to make room for animals already
entered. Metsker & Klemgard of
Evansville, will exhibit eight an
imals from their herd which are
good enough to win prizes anywhere,
but there are other entries which
will crowd them close. There will
be an unusually large number of
draft and driving horses entered fer
prizes which will add interest TO the
live stock department,
Accommodations have already been
asked for 40 running horses, includ-
ing some of the best in the north
west, and good string of trotters
will also be on hand. The races
this year will be a feature of the
fair and Manager Mackenzie pre-
poses to see that they are on the
square.
Between the races there will be
continuous program of amusements
on a stage i'll front of the grand
stand. The trick bicycle rider, who
made so many friends by his clever
riding, will be OH hand again with
MS friendly advice that You'll
have to hurry" There will he
ballon ascensions on Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, weather permit
ting. The Colfax band will furnish
music every day and there will be
big free dance in the Armory every
night, with music by the orchestra.
The O. R. & n. has granted ex-
cursion rates for two days of the
