Along tho Midway.

Lionel Legare's speral tower, one OF
the main attractions of the street, is
located at the west end of midway"
at the intersection of Fifth street and
Litchdeld avenue. Upon this huge
corkscrew Signor Legare performs
twice day the daring and peri;ous
feat of ascending and defending by
treading wooden ball.
Turning about and entering the fair
ground proper from the west, the
visitor passes beneath high arch ex-
tending from Spicer's land Office to
Wold's photograph gallery. On the
top of this gaudily decorated archway
is an array of yellow pumpkins, con-
tributed by Kandiyohi county farmers.
At each end is a sheaf of wheat.
At the other end of the ground is
another archway of the same design
and similarly decorated, extending
from Bonde's block to Peterson &
Qvale's lumber Office. On it's top,
woven in large letters of wheat straw

is the word WELCOME.

A third arch, not as high as the
others, but more deliberately decor
ated, and in its design resembling a
bridge, crosses the street in the middle
of the fair district. A high pole,
wound about from top to ground with
red, white and blue bunting, here at
tracts the eye of the visitor. The top
of this arch or bridge serves as band
stand, and here the Willmar Citizens
band discourses music to the multitude
each afternoon and evening.
Renix Brothers, Carolinians, colored
comedians, entertain the crowds with
music and special les at frequent in
tervals during the day and evening:

Many people will be surprised at
the extensive display of fine apples
raised in Kandiyohi county. The
home grown grapes are also encour-
ing to prospective fruit raisers. An
inspection of the numerous varieties
of corn convinces the observer that
this is a corn country. A pumpkin
weighing 80 pounds attracts q good
deal of attention. The showing of
giant water-melons, turnips, potatoes,
rutabagas, squashes and other vege-
tables is surprise even to our own
people.
The poultry exhibit is very credit
able and the numerous varieties of
rabbits are source of interest to the
small boys.

Columns could be written up on the
exhibition in the different departments,
but space and time forbid at this writ.
Notes Of tho Fair.

The rummage sale conducted by the
Presbyterian ladies is we'll patronized.
Gov. Rice did not look any the less
dignified for throwing confetti at the
girls.
The entrance to the Bank of Will
mar looks pretty enough to be the
palace of governor.
! Mechanics are all admiring Lars
Halvorson's exhibit of Gasoline en-
gines and accessories.
Discordant sounds on the street last
evening suggested that the snake eater
was having trouble with his digestion.
Old and young mingle in the fun at
the merry-gO.rOund. 1t is proving
very popular with the country visitors.
The stereoptican entertainment, the
war show, the fat lady and the vari-
Gus tent exhibitions are drawing good
crowds.
Disappointed politicians mingling
in the crowds could not help but smile,
so merry is the throng. Sober faces
are at discount.
Everybody said the Illuminated
tower last evening was a grand sight.
The lighting of the Midway district
was also very fine.
Had any of the republican candi-
dates for congress lived in the city
the merry-go-round might have be-
come a political issue at the pri-
maries.

Tho Ladies' Exhibits.

The ladies have done exceptionally
we'll in bringing exhibits to this fair
All departments are we'll represented.
A space has been reserved in the John
son Cash Supply house for the exhi-
bition, which is considered by all
spectators as the finest ever seen here.
In Class F-bread, cakes and pies
there are many proofs of what Kandi-
yohi county women can do in baking.
The pastry exhibit is larger than at
the previous fair and of an excellent
quality. Five lemon, three pumpkin,
five apple and one green tomato pie,
besides several varieties of cakes look
quite tempting to the hungry man.

Every train brings in new arrivals
at the fair and the crowd is rapidly
increasing. The attendance from the
country by Friday will be very large.
The city is flooded with confetti and
the good-natured crowd is using all
kinds of means to make merry. Car
nival sports are INDUCED in by the
oldest as we'll as the youngest.
A young peaceful, passing down the
gay midway, became offended because
a friend in sportive mood threw rub
Der ball in his face. Marshall Engle-
stad appeared in time to prevent
bloodshed.
Fakers opened up for business on
various streets yesterday morning
and began thriving business. When
informed that no gambling devises
were allowed they came to the con-
clusion that this was cruel, heart
less world.
During the evening when everybody
was throwing confetti a farmer, being
angered, opened his snuff box and
threw the contents into the faces of
several young ladies. There was
enough sneezing and splitting to fur
nish amusement for the crowd.
The TRIBUNE deeply regrets that a
picture of Governor Van SAINT can not
be secured for this issue. There is
not cut of the Governor in this city.
We telephoned rush order to St.
Paul, but up to the time of going to
press no cut has arrived. Our pur:
pose was to treat all gubernatoria al
candidates alike, inasmuch as they are
all distinguished visitors at our fair.
The street fair committee had ar.
ranged for speech tomorrow by the
successful republican candidate for
congress. The result of the primaries
is still in doubt and it can not be an.
nounced at this time whv will address
the street fair crowds. Perhaps the
committee may induce both Bowling
and Volstead to deliver addresses.
The principle of the primary elec-
ton is in accord with popular gov
eminent, and we believe the system
has come to stay. The law needs to
be amended in certain particulars.
Aman should begiven the ballot of the
party he claims to belong to at the
time of voting at the primary, without
any reference to past party aff1liati ons
There should be blank spaces for writ
ing in names whenever the voter is
not in favor of any candidate on the
ticket for some Office. Other changes
may suggest themselves. But the
politician who uses the small defects
IN the law as an argument for repeal
ing the whole thing will speedily find
that he is treading on dangerous
ground.
