To-Day. the Second Day, a Record
Breaker.
The weather this morning
was not very propitious for the
fair, but it did not keep the
people from coming in. Every
train was loaded down with peo-
pie coming to the fair, and un-
til 2 o'clock this afternoon there
was a steady stream of carriages
and wagons loaded down with
people passing through the fair
ground gates. The weather
cleared about 10 o'clock and
everybody felt happy. The paid
admissions at the gate was 251O
at IL o'clock, and at least that
many more were sold by 3
o'clock. The crowd on the
grounds was estimated at 5000,
and all seemed to enjoy the day
to the fullest extent.
The races were the best ever
seen in the county and gave
general satisfaction. The di-
rectors of the fair feel that the
fair of 1904 will be a record
breaker.
THE FLORAL HALL.
Never before in the history
Of the Harrison county fair has
the floral hall presented such a
ine appearance both in artistic
and substantial products. On
the west side as you enter the
hall the first thing that attracts
the eyeis the very artistic booth
Of Goodrich Brothers. A mant-
lie is built of lincruta Walton.
On both sides of the mantle ar
tistic tapestry paper is hung in
such a manner as to give the
booth a very cozy appearance.
A large number Of pictures are
hung, making it a very attract
i've booth. The next booth is
occupied by j B Lyons display.
His name is made of pieces Of
corn on a mat made of oat meal,
which is very clever work. His
booth presents a very fine APP
pearance.
The farmers clubs helped
make the floral hall artistic.
The two clubs, Union Farmers
Club" and "Harris Grove Farm
ers Club" each have fine dis
plays. The Union Farmers
club booth occupied part of the
west side. The name made in
the club colors, red, white and
blue, occupied a very prominent
position in front of the booth.
The name is made out of corn
and is a very pretty design.
This booth is occupied by fruit,
pictures, embroidery and flow
ers. Mrs. Wilson Doty, Mrs.
Freely Myers and Mrs. VIM. Nc
Gavren are in charge Of this
booth.
Next to this is the Harris
Grove Farmers club booth. The
name, H. G. F. c., is made of
red apples and is placed right
in front of the booth. Both
sides of the arch are covered
with bitter sweet and german
ivy, making a very pretty APP
pearance. In this booth is
found many things of interest,
among which are a spinning
wheel from Denmark, several
curiosities from Japan, two

School Notes.

The per cent OF attendance
in the Public Schools of this
city for the month closing Sept.
Both was almost 95. This is not
an unfavorablc report when we
take into account the circus and
other attractions we have had
during the month.
The punctuality has, however,
been more encouraging than
the attendance. The hool
made a record of over SO per
cent in punctuality. We hope
that this high standard may be
maintained. Will all who read
this do their part? The Third
Ward lead in punctuality for
the month.

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

The victory OF Roosevelt in the
recent national election is of such
character as to stagger the coun-
try. The Republicans themselves
are surprised at the enormity of
their victory. There is no use try
ing to account for it. In every
election one side wins and the 9th
er losses.
There are great many people
who would have preferred the de-
feat of Roosevelt, but when we
come right down to the plain facts
in the case it is a matter of little
concern to the ordinary individual
as to who occupies the chief ex-
ecutive's chair.
We do not derive the comforts

journal would like to see a route
established from Newark out to

first and greatest obstacle to over

of rural free delivery route Is

such route would cover TO the
points named are all good, there

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Sailor
men will watch the career of the new
gunboat Dubuque, for many of them
believe that this newest of Uncle
Sans floating fighting machines is
predestined to be unlucky.
The whole trouble was anent the
fair hand that should break the bot
tie of champagne over the vessel
bows at the launching which occurred
at Morris heights. The contractors
declare that the gunboat is as near
perfect as any boat in her class in
the United States navy, but sailor
men have their fears.
Mayor Berg of Dubuque was re-
quested by the navy department at
Washington to select a sponsor for
the boat which has been named for
the Iowa city. After a long time
the mayor replied that he could not
find young woman who was willing
to make the long trip to Morris
Heights.
The contractors then invited the
daughter of the congressman from
Iowa, Miss Annette Hull, to accept
the honor, and she did At the same
time a letter was received from Miss
Elizabeth Treadwell. addressed to
Mayor Berg, and she, too, consented
to act. The contractors, and all the
others concerned were in a fine pre-
dicament.
The whole question was laid be-
