Two, While Last Nights

When the matter OF holding Q
city election was taken up and sub
mitted to Judge Townsend, he
made an order of court deciding
that we must elect TWO aldermen
from each ward at the city election
this spring. The exact language
OF the court is ae follows:
1t Is ordered, adjudged and con-
sidered by the Court that h. +.
Scotfarn, as Mayor of the City OF
Obickasha, order an election in said
City in manner and form required
by law, on the first Tuesday in

TWO ALDERMEN FROM EACH WARD,
and that the clerk of the court is

This looks like the court meant
business, but several days ago q
letter was written Judge Town

the election of aldermen for the
city OF Chickasha ct the annual
election next Tuesday. The fol
lowing answer was received BY

EXIT THE FAIR
Directors VStG t. Abandon Fair
For This Year

|
Recognizing the fact that at
tempts to carry out the origin
al programme for the Harrison
County Fair under such as the
existing weather conditions,
would result in a tremendous
financial loss for the Associa-
ton, the Board of Directors of
the Harrison County Agricul-
tural Society met at II o'clock
this morning and by almost a
unanimous vote decided to
abandon the Fair for 1903.
During the entire time the Fair
was in progress there were just
three hours of what might be
termed decent weather, and
that being from noon until 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The merchants of Missouri
Valley and surrounding towns
have expended a large sum of
money to say nothing of the
time and trouble in preparing
an exhibit for the fair, but
their loss is a bagatelle when
compared to the losses sustained
by the llorsemen who have
|shipped their racing stock here
and have been at the expense
of quartering them here for
several days.
Before adjournment this fore
noon the Board of Directors of
the Association elected the fol-
lowing to succeed the members
of the Board whose terms ex-
pired this fall:
George Brown, Union twp,
Harvey johnson, Jefferson,
a. G. Dupree, Washington,
c. Huff, Little Sioux,
