CRAFTEIRS WERE SHY
Pickpockets Stunned Hamllne
Grounds During Fair Week

81 -.
Pocket picking. and other crimes
were scarce at the state fair this year,
as compared with a year ago. To some
extent. this was doubtless due to the
severe treatment Of the grafters a year;
ago.. but. it is more generally accredit-
ed to a sstricter policing of. the grounds.
. In one. day a year ago 1876 losses and;
thefts. We're reported to the police in
one day. while during the entire week
this year there were thirty-two such
reports. of these the articles and
purses of fifteen Of the losers were;
found and returned. Besides the re-
ported losses eight purses, all contain
ing money, were, found and turned over
to Secretary Randall. In nearly all in
stances the identity of the losers was
established by something in the purses
and it willbean easy matter to restore
the property.
Grating. at the fair this year did
not amount to much, although it was
impossible to stop the practice entire
ly," said Franklin w. Griggs, the GRIM
inal prosecutor for the association.
''The worst instance that came to my
attention was handkerchief graft that
was something new to this section of
the country. The fellow claimed to be
a representative of the manufacturer,
and was strictly instructed not to sell
more than three for fifty cents BY a
plausible tale he aroused the curiosity
of his auditors, when he would an
nounce that he had the power to make
purchasers of three Of the handker-
chiefs a present Of as many more as
he saw fit. He would pile up quite
bundle, some twenty-five or thirty, and,
| taking the so cents Of the purchaser,
would extract all but two or three by
sleight- of-hand trick. One day the
/ fellow sold 400 dozen of the handker-
chiefs and in every instance received
an exorbitant price. The graft was
stopped as soon as it was discovered"
The police did other work than
| watching the grafters. Twenty-Five
| lost children were cared for and restor-
| ed to their parents, fifty-four boys
| were arrested for getting into the
| grounds by climbing the fence, seven
ty-seven arrests We're made for bring
| ing liquor onto the grounds and seven
arrests We're. made for drunkenness
Fifteen horses that strayed away from
their owners were cared for and hun
dreds of suspects compelled to leave
| the grounds.

WRITE TO JOHNSON
Republicans Pledge Support
to Democratic Candidate

An incident in connection with the
me-coming of John 0. Johnson,
Democratic nominee for governor,
shows his popularity among Mime
sofa Republicans.
Awaiting Mr.. Johnsons return was
several days accumulation of mail and
kilograms. The letters were stacked
up in a pile on Mr.. Johnson's desk and
the task of reading them was no small
one Finally, however. it was finished
and Mr.. Johnson leaned back in his
chair.
"Wen!' he calculated ..There are
twenty-five letters in that pile and
eighteen of them are from Republicans.
Every one offers me congratulations
and promises me support"
The letters We're of private nature,
and Mr.. Johnson refused to diyulge the
names of the writers, though he said
that several were from men holding
high political office by grace of the
Republican party.

KEEPS GROWING
Coffee Drinkers Want 1t Stronger and

large mouthfuls of bitter, yellow stuff
and would have sharp pains in my
chest and feel dizzy and water would

mother kept telling me it was because

her, for 1 thought I could not eat
meal without my coffee.
FINALLY I got so bad I had to lay
off working entirely. One day saw
Postum article in the paper that made
me think and told mother to get a
package and we would try it. At first
it was not boiled enough and tasted

and 1 got to liking it better and better,
and in few days 1 told mother not to
make any more coffee, that Postum
was better. oh, how glad I am found

FAIR SOCIETY BOUND
Association of Managers Fix
the Opening Date

The date of the state fair next year
will not be fixed until there is meet
ing of the representatives Of the diff
ferent state associations in Chicago in
December. but the officers of the Min
nesota association will doubtless ask
that they be given the week beginning
Sept. 4.
There is an impression that the
date for the Minnesota fair is fixed
directly, by the officers of the asso-
citation, but such is not the case" ex-
planned Secretary Randall. I'm De-
cember of every year there is meet
ing in Chicago between representa-
tives OF the different state organiza-
tons, and the dates for the different
fairs are fixed at that time Although
there is nothing binding in this ar
rangement, it's necessity is apparent
when it is considered that otherwise
it would be likely that state fairs of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, the Da-
kotas and other states might be sched-
uled for the same week. 1t would not
require a, man with knowledge of state
fairs to predict the result if all the
associations in this part of the country
should choose the same week.
Many of the exhibits are taken from
one fair to another, this being par
ticuIarly true Of live stock. The own
ers of fancy stock wish to have all pos
sibie opportunity to display it, and if
it We're possible to make only one fair
the showing at all of the state exhibits
would be greatly reduced The same
is true of other kinds of exhibitors
and race horse owners. The necessity
of being party to the Chicago agree
ment is therefore apparent. Although
it is a mere guess to state when the
fair will open next year, I would pre-
dict that it will be on Sept. 4, which
would be a week later than was the
case this year."

of Rumford Corner, shot himself through
the temple and killed himself instantly.
Mr.. Virgin was found, by his wife, dead,
in his bedroom about 5 o'clock. For
some weeks he had been in poor health
and the cause of the deed is supposed to
have been insanity. Thirteen years ago,
Mr.. Virgin while temporarily insane, as
was supposed, jumped into the river
intending to drown himself. He was
rescued and could give no reason for
attempting to take his life. He leaves a
wife and four children, the oldest being
boy twenty years of age.

The Democrat is in receipt OF a re-

where summer boarders are taken. 1t
looks like simple request to answer,
and yet the number of such known places

Democrat was able to make only an i'm
perfect and rather indefinite reply.
There must be quite number OF farm
houses where good accommodations can
be furnished to people desiring to come
into the country in the summer, and II
the owners of such will let themselves
be known to the Democrat, we will for
ward their addresses. This line OF bust
ness Is capable still of much develop
ment, and opportunities to secure it
should be improved.
