PROVIDE FOR THE WOMEN
State Fair Offers Many Premiums for
Moman's Handikork.

K Women who visit the Minnesota
State Fair this year will find much of
special interest to them. Not only are
the great partmentsth agricultur-
al, horticultural, livestock, dairy,
poultry, and exposition building Of
great interest to them, but the women
department proper, has this year TAX
en- on special Importance and will be
visited by many thousands of women
during fair week.
Owing to the rapid growth Of this
department, the State Fair manage
ment has this year assigned to the
women the building occupied last year
as carriage building and formerly
by the horticultural and agricultural
departments: such has been the growth
of the Minnesota State Fair. The
Woman's building has been entirely
overhauled and painted and will be
beautifully decorated under the super

MERRY MUSICAL MONARCH
Celebrated POtentate Will WELD
Sceptre in New Ulm.
Manager F. w. Johnson Bills Fam
Gus Opera, "King Dodo." -
of Fine Opening At
traction For Turner Theatre.

"King Dodo," one of the three lead
ing comedy operas in the United States,
will visit New Ulm during the coming
season. After almost endless CORE
spondence Manager Fred W. Johnson
has succeeded in billing the celebrated
play and he has arranged to put it on
as the opening attraction for the
Turner Theatre. .5~
This troupe is handled by Henry W.
Savage, the ulti-millionaire theatric-
al manager of Boston, a fact which in
itself is guarantee of excellence. Mr..
Savage directs it's sister successes,
'The Sultan of Sulu'' and ''The
Prince of Pilzen," and in addition
does the billing for the Castle Square
Opera company, peggy From Paris
and other shows whose titles have be-
come household words and which
occupy exalted positions in the the
atrical world. His companies are all
conducted on scale which is I'M
approached, and his lavish staging
and cOstuming have practically driven
his competitors from the comic opera
field.
Last year Manager Johnson made a
determined effortto land ''King Dodo'
but the management ofthe organization
was compelled to change it's plans and
accordingly cancelled all western
dates. This time, however, there will
be no such disappointment Positive
assurances have been given that the
troupe will be here on the evening of
Saturday, September 26th, and that
date will mark the formal opening of
the theatrical season of l903-l904.
AS means of illustrating what is
in store for New Ulm playhouse
habitues it may be stated that ''King
Dodo" has seventy-fve people in his
court, including an immense ballet.
During the season of 1902 two COM
panies presented the play but this
year there will be but one and Mr..
Savage writes that it is larger and
more expensive than either of it's pre-
decessors. Richard w. Golden will
probably appear in the title roll and he
will be supported by comedians of
established reputation.
Very few cities in this state will be
visited by the troupe and it Is not IN
likely that New Ulm will be the only
| one outside Of ST. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth and Winona. 70 obtain the
attraction very large guarantee has
been required but this will be raised
by citizens.

Small Grain Being Threshed.

Early threshing returns indicate that
the oat crop will prove far superior
to wheat. On the Crone farm last week
the yield of oats was about SO bushels
to the acre and wheat made a show
ing of Is or 20 bushels. The wheat
average on the Christ Filzen place
was practically the same but oats
threshed 80 or35 bushels. These yields,
however, cannot be taken as basis
for estimating the crop in this vicinity.
Outside the Minnesota valley and away
from the sandy soil the grain is not
so well filed and millers and elevator
men do not look for more than II to IA
bushels of wheat to the acre.

HOLD FAIR WITHIN DOORS
County Agricultural Show to Be Given
in Opera House.

Instead of holding the county fair
at the driving park north of the city,
the exhibition will take place in the
New Ulm opera house on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, September 10th,
18th and 18th. The decision to give the
show within doors was reached at a
meeting of the directors of the Brown
County Agricultural society held last
week and was influenced largely by
the condition of the fair grounds.
Had the original plan been adhered
to and the fair held on the society pro-
perty, extensive and costly repairs
would have been necessary. The grand
stand is not in good shape, consider
able money would have to be spent in
fixing up the stables and fences and it
would be absolutely impossible to
carry out racing program without
grading the track.
In view of all these things it was
deemed advisable by the directors to
'relinquishthe plan of listing attractions
and simply give an agricultural exhi-
bition in the opera house. A year ago
this method proved successful. Better
displays of fruit and vegetables we're
secured than at any time in the history
OF the association and in spite of the
most dismal sort of rainy weather the
attendance was large enough to more
than cover expenses.
This fall more farm products will be
shown than in 1902 and next year the
society will able to give a large fair.
Before that time arrangements will be.
made to enter the racing circuit COM
posed of Redwood, Renville and several
other counties and the officers will be
able to present a good program of
trotting and running events. After the
coming exhibition what remains of the
debt will be cleared away and the as
ISOLATION will be on better footing
than for many years. 8

neapolis, the assistant uperintendent
in charge. For the first time in the
history of the department. there will be
sufficient room to display the products
of woman's handiwork.
Another interesting feature of the
work for the women at the fair will be
the headquarters of the State Fedora
ton of WOmen's Clubs which will be
maintained as during recent fairs in
the club house building near the grand
stand. A committee of the State Fed
Grafton will be in charge and there
will be rest rooms and all convenience
es and facilities for the comfort of
women visitors, all of whom are urged
to visit the building. In addition
there will be programs during the
week of an interesting character.

EXAMINED FOUR PRISONS
Commissioners Return From Tour
Around State.
Obtained Many Valuable Hints Re-
garding County Jails.
Visit to St. Paul Causes Daily Pa
per to Print Fake Story.

Jails of various sorts and cOndi-
tions were inspected last week by the
Brown county committee which went on
junketing trip about the state. Four
prisons were visited and number of
valuable pointers were acquired by
Chairman Eckstein and his colleagues.
Incidentally, the jaunt of the commits
sioners was utilized by the St. Paul
Globe as the basis for a story of
phantom county seat fight.
The personnel of the Brown county
party consisted of Chairman Andrew
j. Eckstein, Commissioners Andrew
Holman, P. j. Miller and Hans
Fredrickson and Sheriff VIM. j. Juli-
US. They left New Ulm last Monday
noon and did not return until Wednes-
day night, their journey taking them
to Jackson, Austin, Owatonna and ST..
Paul. While absent the local officials
managed to combine a certain amount
of pleasure with their business, as they
were received everywhere most hospi-
tably and we're accorded the greatest
courtesy in all the cities.
After leaving here the party went to
Sherburn and were driven overland
from that place to Jackson, where a
new jail was erected several years
ago. They found that the structure
was modern and very nicely arranged,
the sheriff's residence being in the
same building with the cells. It's total
cost was $4,000 and in many respects
it is model bastile.
Enroute to Owatonna the party
stopped at Austin and visited the jail
there, being royalty entertained by
Sheriff John Johnson. That gentle
man informed the local men that their
visit was premature; that Mower coun-
ty intended to replace their present
jail with fine $4,000 building, and
that the improvement would be made
within a few years. Col. A. W.
Wright, Majors F. B. Wood and Mic
NicolsOn and other officers of the Sec
ond regiment also took Capt. Ecksteir
and his friends in charge and the lat.
ter are authority for the statement
that they will always have pleasant
recollectiOns of their Austin visit.

Redwood Man In Contempt.

Because John G. Smith refused to
pay the sum OF 50, 200 on Judgment,
he was declared in contempt Of court
by Judge B. r. Weber last week and
placed in the Redwood county Jail. At
the last term of court in Redwood Falls
suit was brought against Smith by
Fred Hauert, who claimed that the
former had alienated his Wife's af-
fections. The jury awarded Hauert a
verdict OF 81 900 and Smith is now in
trouble for trying to avoid payment,
he having mortgaged his farm for
So, 200 and then handed the money to a
third party

cost of boiler and other fixtures is
eliminated. ...::.
At ST. Paul the splendid 100000
edifce in which Ramsey county pris-
oners are confined was inspected
closely. Sheriff Justus went to con-
siderable trouble to show his guests
the appointments of the spacious
building, conceded to be the best of
it's kind in Minnesota. AS at Ovation
ma steam heat is procured from a plant
outside the jail and the arrangement
is very fine, separate cells being pro-
vided for the sexes and every precau-
ton being taken against the escape of
the inmates. The interior is hand
somely finished with enameled brick
and iron and the general plan could
scarcely be improved upon.
AS result of their Investigations
the commissioners are we'll posted
upon the requirements of a jail. Off
Gals with whom they consulted were
able to inform them of many things
which should be avoided and it would
seem that their trip has been highly
profitable.
During their stay in St. Paul the
party encountered II. G. Hays, form
erly of Sleepy Eye, in the corridor of
one of the hotels. He greeted his
acquaintance warmly and then scam
pered over to the St. Paul Globe Office
with the following bundle of hot air:
"The proposed erection of new
jail in Brown county may reopen the
county seat fight between New Ulm
and Sleepy Eye, which has remained
in allegiance for several years. -..
''The old Brown county jail at New
Ulm has stood condemned structure
for several years. Recently the grand
jury placed it's seal of disapproval
upon the old building and warned the
commissioners to bestir themselves in
preparing new prison.
yesterday the Brown county COM
missioners consulted with state Off
Gals as to the state requirements for
their proposed jail, and then visited
the new Ramsey county Jail, which
they may take as model. The his
tory of the Ramsey jail controversy.
they think, will enable them to avoid
expensive errors they might otherwise
stumble into. ~
''The new jail agitation is consid-
cred likely to renew the old county
seat fight. Sleepy Eye has long had
an envious eye on the seat of the coun-
ty's business, but in former years the
voting strength of the western part OF
the county has not been sufficient to
effect the change. Now Sleepy Eye
has a population Of 5000, and it's poll

extended to the Missouri river"
