FAIR CROWD WAS
CLOSE TO 100000
THE FIGURES FOR SATURDAY ARE
PLACED AT $4,000.
Number Of Railway Tickets Was Less
Than Year Ago, Showing That
Farmers Were Kept Away by the
Rain = Friday and Saturday Saved
the Week. E

Nearly 100000 people attended the
Minnesota fair last week. The exact
figures were not available at noon to-
day, but with Saturdays attendance
estimated at about $4,000. which is con-
sentative, for the turnstile record shows
better than 10000, the grand total is
far from the indicated figure. What
the attendance would have been but
for the rains and the cold weather not
even the astute managers OF the fair
could estimate Under the conditions
that prevailed they think that the fair
was splendid success and they Ere
considerably elated.
The attendance on railway tickets
was smaller than for last year AMI this
was plainly due to the rain and threat
ening weather, for the farmers are lot
buying tickets to the twin cities when
tho indications are that they will be
compelled to splash around il 80 mud
and rain. The number Of railway tick,
cts received was 22,627, as S compared re
with 26,623 for the fair of 1908. The
daily reports show big decreases except
for Friday and Saturday, which are
largely in excess of the. corresponding
days of last year and which go to prove
that if the days earlier in tho weeh
had been more promising the country
attendance would have been larger.
This year the country attendance
was more than one-fourth of the at
tendance for the whole week, wherea
Friday is ordinarily only On avcrng'
| day as regards the number of visitor
| from out Of town.

COUNTY SATURDAY WITH
MEETING AT ALEXANDER
HALL. ~. T.,

R. G. Dunn, republican candidate for
governor, opened his campaign in Hen
nepin county Saturday evening, with an
address under auspices of the Union
Veterans and Sons league, at Alexan-
der hall.
Mr.. Dunn gave a history Of railroad
gross earnings legislation. He spoke
about the defeat of a measure two years
ago, which had in view an increase from
3 to per cent.
Unfortunately" said he. 1.-THE
voters Of the state voted. against this
it is not yet downed and will not be:
The increase from 3 to per cent will
mean an increase of about $65O,00 in
the taxes paid into the state by the rail
roads, and I believe that they are
abundantly able to pay it and should be
made to. Unfortunately, this issue was
not introduced into the party platform
is nevertheless live issue. While l
am governor of the state Of Minnesota
I shall see to it, however, that this law
is brought up at every meeting Of the
legislature, and I shall work for it unit
| it finally is passed.
| Mr.. Dunn stated he was in favor Of
the primary election law, but not in 1T
present form. Under it's present form
| too often the man who secures minor
ity Of the votes cast gets the nomina
ton. The law should not be EXTENDED
to state offices until it is amended. H
believed the state should invest NOR
money in the draining Of swamp lands
There are thousands Of flooded acres il
northern Minnesota, the draining Q
which would we'll reimburse the stat
for the necessary outlay.
He asserted that the levy for supper
of the soldiers home could be double
without being burden to the tar
payers. The state is we'll able to car
we'll for it's old soldiers and those dc
pendent upSa them. Mr.. Dunn pledge,
himself to as far as possible give oil
soldiers the preference in appointments
Mr.. Dunn predicted $4,000 to 10000

FOUR ARE FAITHFUL TO AGREE
MENT TO MEET.
No Notices Were Required to Bring
Quartet of Former Minneapolis School
Boys Together Yesterday Afternoon
at the Public Library According to
Written Pledge.

An agreement made five years ago by
four young men Of Minneapolis was
kept in an interesting manner in this
city yesterday afternoon.
The four young men, Wilt. Brodd,
William G. King, George Pommer and
Joseph r. Roche, were once all pupils Of
the Whittier school. They, formed a
left Whittier and after Messrs. Brodd
and Roche had left the high school. One
day, during meeting of the four,
Brodd was singing "College Chums,' y
and the idea in the song appealed to
those present, and forthwith an agree
ment was drawn up, copy of which
the effect that FIVE years later, Sept. 4,
1904, at 8 pm, they would all meet
in the readingroom Of the Minneapolis
public library. No trivial excuses would
count; nothing but reasons Of vital i'm
portance. The agreements were signed
and the party broke. up.
Time went by. The men heard from
each other indirectly. now and then, but
minds Of the others the promised meet
ing. No notices were sent out. But as
the hour drew near, one by one the
members Of the quartet dropped in tc
grasp the hands Of the other three. Oh
course there was good cheer after sucl

WILL BUILD WALKS
State Fair Management Plans at Least
One Improvement.

Many of the plans for the improve
mcnt Of the state fair grounds. will have
to be postponed on account OF, the d.
minishsd receipts due to the bad Weat n
clear more than $4,000 above the ex.
penses the net surplus for the week will
probably not exceed $4,000.
This sum is not large enough. for any
big improvement work, as the board of
managers, needs at least $4,000: &C.
What the people would have done, in
the rain Of "Wednesday and Thursday
without the stone sidewalks is hard to
tell. The greatest need for walks is
in the livestock district, where there
should be wide walks. not only along
the barn streets, but across the streets
from one barn to the other. There
should also be cross walks at frequent
intervals and additional walks in the
machinery district.
The cement walks with new engine
house for the St. Paul fire department
to correspond with the one for the Min
neapolis department, will comprise al
the improvements for the fair Of 1905.

No business enterprise is entitled to
greater moral support than the one that

habit; What can be accomplished in this
direction by a little effort is being
demonstrated by the State Institutio p
for Savings, SIT First avenue s, which
recently placed two thousand of it's lit.
tie steel savings banks in that many
homes in the city, and as result is now
placing on it's boo ks from two, to three
hundred new savings accounts every

never have been saved otherwise. The
institution is entitled to much credit
for it's aggressive methods and is to be
congratulated upon. it's success. The
benefit Of it's plan is within the reach
of all, as one dollar starts an account
and secures bank. Every person am
bilious to get ahead should procu1r,t
