lasting sameness about her duties, and
the confinement necessary TO carry
them out Is very trying 10 the nervous

ATTEND
THE STATE
FAIR
To Be Held At Salem Septem-
ber l5-20th 1902

Take a few days after haying and
harvesting, and go away for a change
of scene and air. Too few farmers
and farmers wives take any vacation
during the year There is nothing so
good as a change of living, and a few
days rest to brace one up both phys.
lcally and mentally Most of the large
city business houses give their EN-.
ployes one or two weeks vacation dur.
ing the year, and they find 1t pays well
In the better health of their men and
greater interest taken by them in
their duties. A weeks rest attending
the state fair is both educational and
recuperative.
The exposition building will be filled
with the finest exhibits of the farm,
field and orchard The live stock
show will surpass anything of the kind
ever given on the coast, and no pro-
gressive farmer can afford to miss see
ing the possibilities of improved
breeds and breeding.
Good racing every afternoon be-
tween the fleetest footed racers on the
coast
Good music and high class enter.
tainment in the evening.
Reduced rates will be made by the
Southern Pacific on this occasion.

is little chance for the negro. Strother
himself was on the stand for a time yester-
day afternoon, while the jury was with
drawn, and he repudiated the confession
which he signed in Chief Desmond's office
Crittenden Clark, Strother's attorney. did
not want to admit the confession in evil
dence on the ground that it was extorted
from Strother by threats and promises OF
reward. and Strother was placed on the
stand to prove this point. but after the ne
gro's statement Judge Ryan ruled that the
statement would go to the jury. This was
a decided victory for the, State and as de-
cisive blow to the defense.
