Tho First Monthly Fair Day.

There was fair attendance of farm
ers in the city last Saturday on the
occasion of the first monthly fair day.
No auction sales were held, but q
number of articles were SOLD at private
sales. Some live stock was brought
in and disposed of and altogether the
affair was as much of a success as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. The next fair day comes on
July 4th, so it is probable that moth

WANTS TO FIGHT.
Russia Thinks She Can Lick Little
Japan If No One Helps
sa& 5f O. %ha Nr;ar$ e

5s Pekin. July 21.-According to diplo-
mats here h greatest factor in the
eastern situation is the increasing dan
ger Of war between Russia and Japan.
They believe It is becoming plain that.
Russia is willing to fight Japan IL con-
WINGED that no other powers win assist
her.
The Russians are confident Of their
ability to easily defeat Japan, and are
said to be anxious to settle definitely
her position in eastern politics and to
end her ambitions to oppose Russia's
progress in Manchuria. The belief is
attributed to the Japanese that the
Russian policy is to attempt to placatei
Great Britain and America and to pro-
woke Japan into beginning hostilities.
They regard Russia's consent to open-
ing ports in Manchuria, the czar's
promised visit to England and the oc-
Lupation OF the Corean border as part
Of that policy. Russia's activity on the
Yalu river Is more irritating to Japan
than the occupation OF Manchuria, and
all the Japanese oficials& In China speak
Of war as q probability"

Quietest and most tranquil spot IN the
vatican. The pontiff lay on the bed,
the pillows OF which were not winter
than his face, which has a strange as
pect, owing to his not having been
shaved for SO long. His hands were
folded over a rosary, which he had used
for over fifty years. The famous arm
chair stood invitingly near. with his
stick beside 1t. While Contra, his valet.
prayed and wept before the huge ivory
crucinx. DR.. Lapponi sat beside the bed
ready for any emergency.
Took Some Food.
The doctor from time to time rose
noiselessly to administer nourtshment.
Of which this morning the pontifr took
some. Indeed, DR.. Lappcni succeeded
in having him swallow several tea
spoonfuls OF coffee, milk and brandy,
mixed.
The silence of the sickroom was oc-
c%asionally broken by a hacking cough,
due to the gathering Of phlegm in the
pope's throat. These coughing spells
had the effect of rousing the pontiff
and causing him to open his eyes and
revive slightly. While the doctors
were examining their patient this
morning. believing him to be in a
stupor, his holiness suddenly fixed his
eyes,, even now bright and by no means
|lifeless, on them, saying:
This time, doctors, you will not win
in your brave fight with death
ut is your holiness who is brave"
replied Lapponi; but before the remark
was uttered the pope had again be-
come unable to understand what was
said.

A MINNESOTA MURDER.
Young Woman Probably Slain by q
Burglar, Who Is Believed to
Be a NEGRO.

st. Paul, July PA special to the
Dispatch from Montevideo says:
Helen Olson, aged 25, the pretty
daughter of Thomas Olson, was as
saulted early this morning by a man
supposed to be a negro, and although
alive at noon she will probably die.
Helen Olson was living alone in her
fathers home at Watson during the
latter's absence in Minneapolis, and
had Miss Julia Torgenson with her last
night. Early today the girls We're
awakened by a man who demanded
their valuables. The man ordered her
to get her money, then dragged her
downstairs, where he struck her on the
forehead with ar ak or Ratchet. Miss
Torgenson was ordered to remain in
bed and not move; but on hearing the
noise downstairs she stepped out of a
window to the roof, where her screams
aroused the neighbors and a search was
begun for the murderer. Great excite
ment prevails and there is liable to be
a lynching should the man be caught.

Gradually the shadow Of death spread
over the pontiff, his extremities became
cold. the features assumed the fixed
5r1gtdlty Of death, and DR.. Lapponi
noted HIS last fiuttering heart-beats,
which gradually became slower and
slower until they finally stopped.
News of the pope's death spread rap
Poly throughout Rome and caused the
most profound sensation. The whole
1clty Is in mourning.
Crowds at Vatican.
A large crowd is gathered about the
vatican, but perfect order prevails
there and elsewhere in Rome. The
Epope's death agony was short and ter
minated by a paroxysm OF choking.
After a short interval Cardinal Sera-

amidst the weeping Of those present.
