RECOVERED HER HEALTH.
Baby Carried to Monmouth by Special
Train Now a Young Lady.

Mr.. and Mrs. Seth Stewart, with
their children, Master Steele and Miss
Anna, were guests with their kinsfolk
at the Rev. Gilmore home, on the 9th
and 10th inst. Mr.. Stewart was for
merly merchant in Des Moines, but
for some years his home has been at
Redlands, California. The daughter,
Anna, has the distinction of being
sent from this city to Monmouth, ILL.,,
on a special train. The mother was
sick at the parental home in Gales
burg. Anna, the babe, was thought
to be at deaths door in this city. The
father was anxious to place her under
the care of the regent, DR.. Campbell,
of Monmouth. There was no train
going east that Sabbath morning; but
for the consideration of $125.0O one
was fitted out, and the transfer of the
small piece of humanity was made.
Anna was at the home of Dr. Wallace
for one year and is now robust girl
with a promise of long life before her.

topic of family conversation until the
idea becomes so firmly grounded in
the minds OF the community that the
people actually dream Of the fair and
the races
The last meeting, beyond question,
suffered on account of lack of suitable
advertising. The management itself
is largely to blame for the failure of
the attendance. Granted that the
meeting was advertised few weeks
beforehand in the press. by means of
bills and other means to a limited ex-
tent There were people in the city
of Oskaloosa who did not know of the
fact of the meeting until the talk in
cident to the races reached their ears.
There were thousands of people in
the county and in the towns of the
county who had not heard of the
meeting dates. The fair management
failed to adopt means of spreading
the news to these people To make
an event generally known about it
must be talked about. What makes
a choice bit of news spread so rapid
ly? 1t is because everyone talks
about it and tells of it. The oska-
loosa fair is no longer talked about
and because the means of advertising
and the circulation of the same have
been deficient for number of years.
1t is understood that the associa-
tion has been made offers for the
property as whole, and that several
other offers are possible. 1t is
scarcely possible that the ground will
be disposed of as town lots, but the
fact remains that the city will be
called upon to meet "a condition, not
theory" if the race meetings and
the fair are to be continued.

TURKISH BATH ROOMS.
A New Metropolitan Establishment
For OskaIoosa.

Oskaloosa has new institution
that is worthy of attention and pat
ronage. 1t is the Oskaloosa Turkish
Bath company, under management of
A. j. st. Clair, located in the Harbach
building on First avenue west. The
establishment is the first of the kind
to be attempted in the city and the
enterprise certainly merits the en-
enlargement of patrons.
The room has been nicely fitted up
with all that such an institution re.
quires and the appointment is equal
to any bath house Of the larger cities
and they are prepared to care for any
amount of trade. The front part of
the room has been nicely fitted up
and will be occupied by a tonsorial
department in the near future.
The department of Turkish baths
is cared for by Prof. Van Valen, who
is an expert in the business. The
bath is equipped with a large six-foot
porcelain tub, the only one of the
kind in the city. The bath proper is
at the rear of the building, and the
cooling rooms are in front at either
side. A pantatorium and tailoring
room is atsapAA cior6 eye NAV be X

mo FAIR NOR RACES.
Fairs and Race Meetings Thing
ofthe Past in Oskaloosa.

| Y
oskaloosa will have no county fair
and race meeting this fall. The Ma
fiaska County Agricultural Associa.
ton had arranged for the dates Of the
fall meeting to be September 6, z, 8
and 8. The meeting has been declar-
ed off. In addition to this the asso-
citation has determined to give no
more race meetings and no more en-
tertainments of any kind until present
conditions are made otherwise. Steps
have been taken looking toward the
final disposition of the fair grounds
and race track, plating the grounds
into town lots and disposing Of them
at sufficient price to take up the in
debtedness of the association.
The board of directors and the Off
GERS of the fair association held a
meeting Thursday afternoon in the Of
fees of Secretary Patterson. The
problems presented by the recent
July race meeting in the city were
brought up and discussed plainly. The
association sustained loss Of several
hundred dollars at the meeting de-
spite the fact that the races were the
best ever seen on the local track, the
field of horses entered the finest ever
brought together in the state, and the
entertainment one of the best held on
any circuit in the west.
The association solicited the bust
ness houses of the city to close up
one afternoon during the races to per
nit greater attendance at the meet.
ing. This the business houses did
not do. The attendance at the races
was shamefully small. 1t would seem
that from a town of twelve thousand
inhabitants a couple of thousand pa
irons could be drawn daily to an en-
tertainment of this character, and yet
it is a fact that only 1,416 total attend
ance was recorded at the July meet
ing.
The first day had only 230 paid ad-
missions, second day only 624, and
last day only 562, total of 1,416 paId
admissions, netting $708O0.
Not only did the Oskaloosa mer-
chants turn the cold shoulder on the
meeting, but the public in general re-
fused to patronize the entertainment.
In the face of these facts the associa-
ton by unanimous vote adopted the
following resolution:
"Oskaloosa, Ia, August 11,1904.-
Whereas, the citizens and business
men of the city of Oskaloosa have
refused to lend necessary support
to the giving of the annual county
fair and race meeting, and where
as, without such support such meet

financial loss, which this associa-

Therefore, be it resolved by the
Board Of Directors of the Mahaska
County Fair Association, that the
annual county fair and race meet
of September 6, z, s and 8, 1904, be,
and the same is hereby declared off.
And be it further resolved that no
more fairs, race meetings or exhib-
itions of any sort whatsoever be
held by the association on it's
grounds until more interest shall be
shown in, and more support lent to
the same by the citizens and bust
ness men of Oskaloosa."
The association went further than
the above resolution would indicate.
A committee was appointed to enter
into negotiations for the surveying of
the ground occupied by the fair
grounds and race track, plating the
same and placing it on the market for
disposition as city lots. The commit
tee is ordered to proceed at once to-
ward ascertaining the cost Of the ne.
cessary work; to report to the asso-
citation as soon as the desired infor-
nation can be obtained.
The property of the association con-
tains about 371s acres and is encum-
bered by mortgage of about $4,000.
A grave mistake will be made by
the city or by someone if this institu-
ton is permitted to go by default
The city will be a great loser in the
end and neither city nor county can
afford to dispense with the fair. Time
was when thousands of people crowd
ed the grounds at fair time and the
event was the talk Of the state. Next
to the State fair, Oskaloosa's fair was
the biggest event of the kind in Iowa.
Everybody talked of the fair, and ev-
erybody and his relatives were daily
in attendance. 1t was the great an
nual festival and hundreds of strang-
ers crowded into the little city.
Conditions have changed. Patron
age has dropped off to such an extent
that the fair is now burden upon the
people and a fixed expense upon the
association. Such a state Of affairs
can not endure.
Whatever the cause of the decline
OF the popularity of the fair may
have been. it is not at all unlikely
that a portion of the same lies with
the management itself. With the ap-
proach of adverse conditions the man |
agement adopted policy of retrench.
