STATE FAIR BREAKS
ITS RECORD

pupils viii will give exhibitions in but
termaking every day throughout fair
week. The young women occupy a
pretty yellow booth to which the crowd
has not access, though it can look at
the buttermaking through the big win
dowS.
The Milton Dairy company has the
most unique exhibit in this building.
In the center of its exhibit is a piece
of statuary carved out of butter. The
piece represents a mother handing to
her son a print of butter and is enti-
tied His First Errand" The group
stands on a pedestal of butter
Beyond this unique piece is bust Of
the late Alexander Ramsey done in
butter. Both of these pieces rest on
packed ice and are practically inclos-
ed in refrigerators so that there is no
danger of the butter melting. John
Daniels, of ST. Paul, a molder in clay,
was the sculptor of both the group and
the bust.
There are 22S creamery entries, so
dairy entries and 100 cheese entries
this year, large gain over that of last
year. The cheese booth is especially
attractive. Indeed, filed as 1T is with
big, fat cheese. it might easily repre-
sent a rats dream of paradise. In one
corner Of the dairy building is exhib
tied a number of medals which have
been won by different exhibitors. This
exhibit includes loving cup, won by
John Sollie, of New Sweden, and sew
eral medals won by Sam Haugdahl, the
champion buttermaker of the world.

SH0ELACE CRAZE
POSSESSES A TOWN
PIainfieId, NJ: J., Is in Its Grasp-citi-
zens Think of Nothing Else.

PLAINFIELD, N. j., Aug. 30.-This
town is stricken to the center by new
epidemic. The mosquitoes came early
in the season, but they have passed
away, and are no longer plague.
These and other evils have at times
been grossly exaggerated by the news
papers and gossips of the town. But
the epidemic now present has been
raging for the past three weeks, and is
beyond the chance of ever being ex-
aggerated. 1t is the epidemic of the
pendent shoelace.
The shoe latch of history has always
been lowly creature, typifying hui
mility. Today in Plainfield it is a
triumphant article of industry occupy
ing the father, mother, sister, brother
and baby of the family. 1t has stimu-
lated household activities and indus
trial enterprise. 1t has made employ
ment for thousands of hands, and has

LOG CABIN HANGS
ITS LATCHSTRING OUT

A. L. Larpenteur and E. w. Durant,
two of Minnesota's most prominent
pioneers, were among the earliest arri-
walls at the Log Cabin yesterday. Mr..
Durant is chairman of the executive
committee which will look after the
comfort of visitors to the Log Cabin
this week. Others who serve with him
are: Enoch Berrisford, John Cooper,

to the tune of Red, White and Blue"
The Ladies of the G.. A. r. are serv-
ing lunches on the grounds adjoining
the Log Cabin, The Ladies, Auxiliary

served these lunches, but this year
they have. allowed the Ladies of the G..
A. r. to use their dishes and their
stand.
Rest cottage, the state fair head
quarters for the white ribboners of
Minnesota, kept open house yesterday
and will continue to do so during the
fair. A very coy rest room has been
fitted up in the rear of the cottage
and tired women We're glad to take
advantage of this yesterday. This year
a comfortable couch, a rocking chair and
lounging chair have been added to
the furniture of the cottage and these
add to the little cottage the attraction
its name suggests. Mrs. Bessie Laythe

Kept busy yesterday distributing the mail
that came to the grounds. The postoffice
was opened on Saturday this year. a day
earlier than last year, for the benefit of
those who brought in exhibits or who
were otherwise employed about the fair
grounds
The institute building has been freshly
decorated and presents a very neat ap-
pearance. Yesterday it was empty. but
tomorrow the legislators will meet there
and during the rest of the week a num-
Der of meetings will be held in the hall.
The walls have been tinted green and the
hall is decorated with tiny flags and
Japanese lanterns. The platform which
occupied the north end of the hall now
stands half way down directly between
the two entrances, and is canopied with
white and decorated with flags.

standing that Mother Jones was here
recently. 1t came originally from the
Southern states, the home of the hook
worm, but it is the exact opposite of
that enervating disease.
The form the epidemic takes is that
of making, out of common shoeIaces,
an unlimited series of useful articles,
such as watch fobS, neckWear, baby
rattles, women's belts and a hundred
other utilities. Watch fObs are made
in nearly fifty designs, long and short,
square and round, with charms in the
center and end, and also with loose
ends of lace, frayed out carefully,
making an ornamental fringe. For the
modest they are made of black laces,
but the colors cover every shade Of
the rainbow to meet a variety OF
tastes.
Ladies' belts are made in many
styles-plaited fiat with eight or ten
long laces, and variously finished
These are better than the ordinary rib
bon belt and inspire a feeling of great
security in the work performed.
Other articles are made in great
profusion. Shoe dealers have practi-
cally gone out of the business and are
now selling shoe laces. Some dealers
have employed extra clerks to handle
the business and have to open earlier

almost break the rules of the Clerks
association, which provide that all
Plainfield stores shall close at o'clock.
Each day brings forth some new de-
sign requiring a new supply.
The future in this trade cannot be
estimated. The epidemic breaks out in
spots. Bankers, merchants, laborers
and professional men make these PEN
dents, not only at home, but also dur
ing business hours. Studied from an
economic standpoint the epidemic has
made great changes in the cotton in
dustry, and the whole textile trade is

LEAVES DYNAMITE
IN A CHURCH BOOTH

One of the occasions of minor excite
ment at the fair yesterday was when
some absent-minded individual, after
eating a lunch at the booth of the
Hamline M. E. church, paid his check
and walked away leaving half-pound
stick of dynamite lying beside the
cashiers desk.
At first no one noticed the innocent
cylinder, but when the cashier took no
tlce of the label Dynamite on it, a
panic was narrowly averted.
No one cared to experiment with
the deadly explosive until Richard
Clymer volunteered to turn it over to
the police. Capt. Hart accepted it with
his desk at police HEADQUARTERS. No
clew to the identity of the careless
owner of the dynamite has been found

ALL STEEL PASSENGER
COACH is BEING BUILT
Will Be Used in Tunnel Under East
River to Avert Paris Horror.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. Cocoon
siderable local interest attaches to the
experiment that is to be tried by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company with an
an-steel passenger coach that is now
building at the Altoona shops of the COM
pany, in which not a single piece of wood
is used. The sides panels, doors, win
doW-frameS and sash. and every part of
the coach is to be of steel and other non
combustible material The purpose is to
provide a car that will insure safety from
such destruction of life as that which
recently occurred in the subway of Paris
The new car is to be used in the tunnel
that is now being bored under the East
river to New York
Local men are interested in the out
come of the experimental use of steel for
such cars, because they see in it a wide
expansion for steel in various forms if the
experiment proves satisfactory. 1t is
maintained that all steel coaches could be
made as ornamental and comfortable as
those low in use. and that it would con-
tribute to greater safety for the passen-
gers and greater economy for the roads,
as the steel car would last longer and
require less extensive repairs than the
wooden coach.
The car now being constructed is fifty
feet long, and is in all essential respects
similar to the vestibule coaches in use
on frst-class trains. 1t will be equipped
with rattan seats in steel or cast-iron
framing.

CROWDS ADMIRE THE
GAME AND FISH EXHIBIT

1t is no exaggeration to say that the
building devoted to the display of the
fish and game commission is one of the
most attractive on the grounds. The
heads of deer and moose, finely mount
ed and excellent specimens of their
kind, are most attractively hung from
the rafterS that cross the hall and on
the shelves that extend all about the
room are displayed mounted game that
includes prairie chickens, cartridges,
quail, pelican and wild swan.
But the exhibit which attracts the
most attention is the fish These are
arranged in large glass cases on either
side of the hall, and include some beau
tiful specimens of the fish found in
Minnesota as we'll as some imported
specimens. The largest fish exhibited,
the Buffalo fish, resembles a small hip
popotamus in shape and the big glass
cage in which it is exhibited. was sur
rounded all day yesterday by won
dering crowd.
But homely as it is, the Buffalo fish
is not so homely as the bullhead,
though the former has the advantage
so far as size is concerned. The bull
head is unfortunate in this that on one
side of him is the handsome yellow
perch and on the other the~dainty sun
fish.
While it is not probable that prize
for beauty will be awarded by the
judges of this building, the steel-head-
ed salmon deserves such prize. More
beautiful even that the proud goldfish
or the rainbow trout, the beautiful sill
ver-lake fish has the additional adj
vantage of being more graceful than
any other fish exhibited, 1t held court
yesterday in the fish building. Other
specimens exhibited thereeare the gold
en- eyes, the Japanese fish, Scotch trout
minnows, white trout, native brook
trout, brown trout, pickerel, wall-eyed
pike, yellow perch, sturgeon, bass, carp.
crappies, eels, dogfish and garfish. But

CROWD ORDERLY AND
POLICE HAVE EASY TIME

Notwithstanding the large crowd last
evening and the added opportunity
which comes with darkness for disor-
Ger and crookedness, there was prac-
tically nothing for the police to do.
Four boys, Willard Jenkins and FL
mer Hovda, of Minneapolis, and AL

also aware that all eyes would be turned

after the vehicle as it rolled along. 1t was
a positive relief from the familiar rolling
