giving as his reason that he had
not yet attained the age required
for qualifying for that office.
w. II. Stufflebeam, nominee

tne nost cases, bnfce Times as large as
the first years premiums, and twice
large as those of a year ago, and com
pare very favorably with the premiums
of the state fair at Boise.
To assume that fair would be any
thing without racing program is
simply idfotic. Does anyone suppose
that Pocatello would have come with a
special train and the crowd that turned
out on July 18th to anything but a
good racing program Cut out the rae
ing from the association meeting and
the gate receipts would only pay the
gatekeeper's salary. Besides this, the
racing feature is bringing better horses
into the country. The fellow who
knocks the racing feature of the fair
should be made to drive over these
dusty roads the rest Of his natural life
with mile an hour team.
As to the article being heavily
padded, if we had not had some
padding to ~offer some sugges-
tons and warnings for considera-
ton, we should have held our
peace. Bestowing better premi-
ums on the ''apple and pumpkin, 7
or directing more attention to
them through the press is precise
ly what this locality needs to make
the fair and many other things
prosper. Up to the present time,
within short time of the fair.
representative farmers are express
ing indifference about bringing
products to the fair, because, as
they say, no product of the soil,
no matter how staple crop it is,
has been given a premium suffic-
iently valuable to waken an inter
est among competitors. The man
agement of the fair has a very diff
ficult task to perform in this
matter because there is such a
great diversity of products to be
considered, and this makes it all
the more necessary that the press
use its influence to direct attention
to our resources and thus aid the
work. The press has some duties
to perform in awakening interest
in the fair, and 1t is Sinking its
duty if it remains silent. THE
REPUBLICAN did not suggest omit
ing the race program as the DEM
ocrat intimated that it did, but
suggested "that care be exercised
to secure the cooperation of those
who are engaged in agricultural
pursuits;' and this suggestion was
intended for press representatives
as well as for officers of the fair.
Had the suggestion been taken
kindly by our contemporary, and
acted upon in the spirit of fairness
with the good of the community
in view, had he not arraigned us
unfairly and added ridicule to mis-
leading statements, we could haye
refrained from asking what The
paper around the corner has done
to arouse interest in the planting
of better seeds and clops, the up
building of public institutions ane
the cultivation of the spirit O.

BRICKMAKERS WOULD
SETTLE THEIR STRIKE
Trades and Labor Board to Send Let
ter to Officers of Company

The brickmal1ers in the employ of
the st. Paul Brick company have been
out for week, with the result that the
union men claim thatthey will be sue
cessful, and the officers of the company
respond with the assertion that the
yards are in operation and will be con-
tinued without the assistance of the
men who left the employ of the firm
when refused the right to be members
of the union.
1t is claimed by strikers that they
have induced most of the men who
haye7been engaged to take their places
to leave, with the result that those
that are left are kept within the yards
night and day, their meals being brought
to them. The strikers claim that they
have induced more than forty new en-
ployes to quit and that the firm will
be compelled to either take them back
or close the yards.
The advisory board of the Trades
and Labor assembly met with the
strikers yesterday and decided to send
to the officers of the brick company
a letter urging that the strike be set
tied. The letter points out to the firm
that if it should succeed in securing
an entirely new set of competent men
it will be but short time until they
will also form a union and the same
situation that now exists will again be
confronted.

POLICE ARE BAFFLED
Minneapolis Detectives Work
in Vain on Murder Case

The action of the MinneapoIi man
whose name has been connected with
the mysterious death of the Teachout
girl, VINO was murdered in a. glen near
M1nnehaha falls Saturday, June 25. are
now being investigated by the police.
The officers detailed on the case are
endeavoring to ascertain where the
man spent the time between II o'clock
that Saturday morning and o'clock
IN the afternoon, when he was again
seen.
That he left his office at the time
mentioned above has been ascertainet1
through interviews with different men
working in the same office, but not a
single one Of the men seen knows
where he went.
AS soon as the body of the dead girl
had been identified in the st. Paul
morgue by her sister. the man, it is
SAID, consistently expressed the opin-
ion that the girl committed suicide.
AT the office of the chief of police
last night there was a noted uneasiness
among the men working on the MUIR
der case, and while nothing definite
was given out. the impression left
would lead to the belief that important
developments would follow shortly.
The tramp theory is secuted by the
police, and while it was at first thought
that the girl might have left her es-
cort in the falls park and journeyed
alone to the spot where she was MUIR
dered, they now believe that the man
who left the city with her after the
letter had been written at the business
college is the man who was the perpe-
traitor of the crime

Thinks Burglars Are at Work
and Calls Police

Charles w. sWEendt, BAG East, Mag
nol1a street, and his, family had a bur
giar scare yesterday morning at 2 /: 80
o'clock. Hearing mysterious noises on
the second floor of theresidence, Wendt
suspected that burglars were in the
mouse and sent a call for the police.
When an officer arrived search of the
premises failed to reveal the burglars
or any sign of their having been in the
house.
Wendt said his attention was at
tracted by noise on the stair shortly
after o'clock, but that he waited half
an hour before he gave an alarm The
family residing on the second floor was
away from home, and Wendt said he
thought that some one was ransacking
their apartments. Wendt said he heard
the noisesoverhead several times, and
finally concluded that a burglar was
upstairs and calleds for the'apoliee.ha An
officer arrived from the Margaret street
station shortly after, and search was
made of the premises, but no burglar
was discovered. 80
There were no marks on the doors Or
windows indicating that force had been
used on them, and the furniture and
articles in the rooms on the second
floor did not appear TO have. been dis

Wabasha streets. The Minneapolis
contingent, being a full battery of
e1ghty-elght men, arrived shortly after

that Minneapolis had gone some ten
miles before the st. Paul men started.

When the tickets had been printed

that it was likely that the person guilty
of having previously taken the tickets
would again try to work the same game.
