When the Minnesota State Fair of
1902 closed it's gates after the most
successful week in it's history, it
seemed impossible that such a record
of success could ever again be
'equalled. Unparalleled in attendance,
receipts, premiums offered and paid.
livestock exhibited. farm machinery
displayed, agricultural products ex-
hibited, race entries, amusement fea-
lures, manufacturing exhibits-the
fair of 1902 eclipsed all other state
fairs either in Minnesota or in any
part of the country.
But notwithstanding the remark

within the bounds of probability that
the Minnesota State Fair of 1903,
which opens on August 31st, will far

The races are the main part of the
afternoon program each day OF the
fair. and the enormous entry list in
sures a very satisfactory amusement
program during the afternoon. For
the evening, the principal feature each
night will be Pains Fire Works Spec
tacle, the Destruction of Rome. This
is the largest and most complete open
air spectacle ever put on at any place
at any time in the world.
To accommodate this show q special
train is used and it travels from place
to place exactly as does a circus.
Many carloads of scenery will be
brought to the State Fair and the
properties, animals and people come
with the train to produce the great
spectacle. : This feature occupies a
large part of each evening during the
fair week but will be supplemented by
other attractions such as racing by
electric light, Schreyer's sensational
bicycle performance and other vaude-
Vile attractions.

An evidence of the popularity and
reputation of the Minnesota State Fair
is in the enormous entry list made
this year for the races during fair
week. Last year when the race entry
list for the fair of 1902 was made pub
lie, it was pronounced by the highest
sporting authorities the largest list
and the best collection of horses ever
made up for western racing meet
and quite the equal Of the eastern
grand circuit lists of that year. It
was generally thought that such a list
could not be again gotten together.

Wheat Estimates.

H. V. Jones, of Minneapolis, who is
an acknowledged authority upon crop
reports, makes the following esti-
mates:
The wheat production of Minnesota
and the two Dalzotas for 1903 is 49,
100000 bushels less than in 1902. This
reduction is in part due to a decrease
of acreage and in part to a decrease
of average yield. The acreage decrease
is about 100000, which, on the basis
of the computed average. yield this.
year, is equal to 100000 bushels;
the decrease in average of yield is
equivalent to 1.35 bushels an acre, or
about 100000 bushels, a total Of
100000 bushels. d.. ~. -.-
The amount of old wheat carried
over to the new crop is estimated at
10000 less than for the previous
year, or 10000 thus reducing the
available northwest supply to 3O,O0O,-
900 less than last year. zassss ssss.
= The feature of interest in the north
west crop this year is the loss of
wheat acreage. The total is comput-
ed here at SOC, 900 acres less than last
year The difficulty of arriving at a
satisfactory conclusion on this point
is admitted, but these figures are be-
lieved to be conservative and safe. The
reduction of 100000 acres last year
is fully sustained by the distribution.
The area, condition, average yield
and total yields promised are, as fol-

Cattle at the Fair.


Livestock exhibitions of National
importance have come to be a regular
part of the Minnesota State Fair. For
three years there have been successful
shows of this class. II this years show
did no more than merely duplicate
that of last no more would need be said
of it to induce multiudes to go and see
it. But everything indicates that the
Forthcoming show will excel all pre-
decessors. The National Shorthorn
and Hereford Associations will again
make the Minnesota fair the only state
fair for the exhibition of the choicest
animals of these breeds under the di-
rect auspices Of the associations And
it is possible that other breeds will be
represented in similarly conspicuous
manner At all events, it is known
that all breeds will be represented by
many and most excellent herds and in
dividuals. Public sales of cattle will
be held, as last year, giving prospec-
tive buyers SPLENDID opportunity to
combine business with pleasure; pro-
fitable business with wholesome, in
structive pleasure. This fair has now
become too prominent, too much of a
national affair, tomake the showing
of ordinary specimens of cattle. or
offering them for sale, desirable or
profitable to their owners, hence a
very high class exhibit may be expect
ed. The fair opens this year Monday,
Aug. 31st and closes Sept. 5th.

KISHINEY'S HORROR
TOLD IN PLAIN WORDS
Jewish Resident Writes to Brother
in Washington.

Elias Dezoff. living at 225 Four-and- a
Half Street southwest, has received from
his brother. resident of Kishinev, the
scene of the recent massacre of Jews.
a letter wherein the horrors of that
fearful outbreak of british fanaticism
are described. Mr.. Dezoff's brother
writes:
My Dear Brother: Your dear letter
We have received 1 can assure you that
what you have written me as to reports
OF the massacre here is not exagger-
ated; on the contrary, the whole truth
has not been told. That which we have
experienced mere is just like the perse-
cution the Jews suffered in Spain.
Imagine, my dear brother, that on
the first day of the Passover, the riot
began with the breaking of show win
dows in the Jewish houses. We thought
that would be the end of 1t, but the Sec
ond day the mob began to destroy prop
erty. plumber houses, and kill people. At
least fifty persons were killed. $50 had
broken heads. and of these some have
died every day. Besides these about 500
sustained minor injuries.
Many families have been broken up
and have no place where TO lay their
heads; and there are others who have
nothing to eat. nor is there way for
them to earn a livelihood. It is impossi-.
BILE to describe the situation. Only those
can realize 1t that are on the spot. Ten
days we slept without removing our
clothing. Every noise aroused the fear
that the mob again had began to murder
people. Even now we sit with our hearts
in our throats, consumed with agony and
fear. We hide either in the garrett or in
the cellar. Many of The synagogues are
demolished, and all prayer books torn
into scraps.
ooh. brotherl we have passed through
a terrible time. 1 beg you to remember
that we both were born of the same
mother, and that there is but one God.
Send US steamer ticket for the whole
family.
Your uncle Leon has been killed;
little children were torn in twain and
thrown into cesspoools before their par
ents' eyes. Dear brother. help us and
take us to you"

THE ADAMS MILL ROAD
UNDER AMUSEMENT
Colonel Biddle Receives Letter From
Mr.. Olmsted.

| Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Com
missioner. has received from Frederick
Law Olmsted. of the Senate Park Com
/ mission. letter relating to the i'm
provement of the Adams Mill Road en-
trance TO the Geological Park. The
| Park Commissioners have under consid-
Grafton the construction of a roadway
| down into the park, around the hills.
from the present terminus of the Adams
Mill Road, and Mr.. Olmsted's letter has
reference to that carriage way.
Mr.. Olmsted explains that the matter
was referred TO him by DR.. Frank Ba-
ker. Superintendent of the Geological
Park, and that his letter to the Com
missioner is unofficial.
The question under discussion is the
course which the proposed driveway is
to take. Mr.. Olmsted advises that IL
take the course of the so-called Boun-
dairy Avenue on plan No. 1875 OF the Park
Commission from Adams Mil Road to
kenesaw Avenue. He said the land for
the roadway had been virtually promised
to tho commission on condition that the
road take that course, and he thought 1t
the rest under all considerations.
Mr.. Olmsted argues that this road
would make a more attractive frontage
for residences; would provide a desira-
bic line of communication along the
east side of the park, and would COM
mand the best view of the park itself
He said the difficulties to be overcome
would practically be only the cost of
construction.
The letter was referred to Engineer
Richards with view to estimating the
cost of construction. and after receiving
his report the commission in charge of
the park will take 1t under Amusement

denied the story. but railroad men are
still inclired to believe that something
is going on which will develop later.
In the meantime the Pennsylvania is
