The ST. LOUIS ANNUAL FAIR
An Event Always Looked Forward
to with Pleasure.
The Forty-Third Annual st. Louis
Fair Will be Held the Week CT
October 9Th to 10th.

The forty-third annual fair at st.
Losis will be held this year during the
week of October to 10, and prepara-
tions have been made to make it a
notable one. AS live stock show the
st, Louis fair will excel anything held
in the west this fall. Favorable dates
will have much to do witt the success
of the show from an artistic stand
point. All the big state fairs will have
been held by the time the st. Louis fair
opens, and prize-winners from the cir
cult are expected to compete for the
fine sweepstake premiums offered. The
Missouri state fair has already been
held. Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and In
diana will have their state fairs this
month. The great Illinois state fair is
scheduled to be held at Springfield the
week previous to the opening OF the
st. Louis fair, and the lists of entries
will show the wisdom of the selection
of the later date.
Supt. Dement, of the farm machinery
department is delighted with the out
look in his lines. The applications for
space in this department already ex-
ceed the total number of exhibitors last
year, and the management, in antici-
patton of big overflow, has made ar
rangements to accommodate late arriv-
ais in large tents.
Supt. Ayres of the agricultural hall
has the same story to tell. St. Louis
county truck farmers and Missouri
fruit growers have generally monopo-
lized all the premiums in this depart
ment heretofore, but there is every rea-
son to believe that competition will be
keener this year.
The horse show department of the
St. Louis fair is entitled to it's share
of credit for developing the saddle
horse breeding industry in Missouri.
Kentucky and Tennessee are famous
for their thoroughbreds. Missouri, on
the other hand, eXcels as producer
of fine saddle horses and mules. Ken
lucky also breeds irst-class saddle
| horses, but she has to come to Mis-
souri, for her champions. The best OF
them will be seen at the fair this fall.
Secretary Hachmeister announces
that he has secured some of the most
sensational acts in the United States,
These special free attractions will all
take place in the amphitneater, giving
two performances on each day of the
fair There will be thrilling cut-away
balloon ascensions andparachute leaps;
startling trapeze acts; wild animal
shows, and a man and woman diving
from tower 80 feet high in a lock dive
into tank of four feet of water, flood
ed with gasonne and set on fire. This
sensational act has never been seen in
the western country Six high class
running races each day on mile track
grand horse show, trotting and pacing
races, funny mule and hurdle races,
and all live stock exhibitions will also
be held in the big arena which seats
| $4,000 people. People throughout the
western country will visit this city
during the week of the fair and wit
ness the Yelled Prophets parade and
attend the grand ball, which takes
place on Tuesday night, October 4.

Panama, Colombia, Sept. 21.-Sena'
tor Obaldia, Sunday, took over the
functions of governor of Panama. The
event was the occasion for great popu-
lar demonstrations by all parties. 1t is
thought that appointment of Gov. Obal-
dia may perhaps exert influence against
secessionist ideas, not only because he
is native of Panama, which fact en-
cages for him the sympathies of all
but because the appointment is a part
of a general plan, the result OF which
will be the election of Gen. Reyes to
the presidency and the approval OF a
canal treaty satisfactory to the United
States
All the speeches delivered at Sun
days function, not only by isthmians
but by natives of the rest of the re-
public, demonstrated that the inhabi'
tants of Panama are in favor of the

My Dear Sir: Sheriff H. H. Whit
lock of Vermilion county, in a state
ment to me says: 81 can not say that
have any particular recommendation
Or suggestion to offer, except that pub
lie sentiment, through the press and
the expressions of the good citizens o1
the country, should so far sustain an
officer in the performance of painful
duty of this kind, as TO fully cove the
criminal class. And, further that the
boards of supervisors of the different
counties be warned that they must not
be so criminally niggardly in the fu-
ture as they have been in the past, in
supplying the sheriff's office with prop
er material for such an emergency, as
the only gun which l had on hand,
useful on such an occasion, was bought
out of my own private purse, after the
board had refused to pay for the same. ;"
In consequence of this statement, /
am apprehensive lest many sherlHs
throughout the state may not be prop
erly prepared to cope with mob riot
If such be the case in your county, then
let me request that you, without delay,
lay the matter before your county
board, to the end that you may at once
be provided with sufficient means OF
defense of yourself and all prisoners in
your custody. l can not conceive that
any county board will fail to furnish
adequate means, after having it's at
tention called to the matter. But IL
such should be the case, request that
you will then notify me, in order that
may communicate with the board.
This letter is written under the au-
thority conferred on me by section e.
article 5, of the constitution, which
reads as follows The supreme execu-
tive power shall be vested in the gov.
ernor, who shall take care that the
laws be faithfully executed
Very truly yours.

Another Notch Ahead.

Z. NJ. Shannon reports having q prai
rie chicken at his ranch that has evil
IDENTIFY tired OF wild life and developed
aspirations for a higher degree OF civili-
zation than that into which she was
hatched. About two weeks ago Mr..
Shannon's children drst noticed the
stranger among the fock Of PIymonth
Rocks around the barnyard and they al
first supposed her presence there was
due 10 some sort Of mistake. At frst
she was rather coy about adopting civil.
ized ways and steadiastly refused TO en-
ter the henhouse vt night, preferring 10
foOst on the roof under the broad cano-
py OF heaven. Later. however, the pro-
cess OF evolution from wild TO tame
fowl has so far progressed--presumably
under the instruction OF some motherly
old biddy-that she now roosts In the
hen honse with the other fowls and is
apparently as gentle" and well behay-
ed AS any chicken on the ranch. This
puts grand old Gillian stil another
notch ahead. No other county in the
great Northwest, so far reported, where
the game birds are so progressive and
up to.date "a to voluntarily seek the
benefits and blessings Of Goth. century
civilization.
