attend to business Of routine nature
that has been collecting there.

The directors Of the state fair have
decided to use the old poultry build
ing on the fair grounds for a part OF
the surplus cattle exhibit which is be-
yond the capacity of the regular barns.
This will, 1t has been figured. give
space to forty eight stalls. ItAts pro-
posed to buiid onto each end OF the
building somewhat to give the building
this capacity. Negotiations are under
way with the Des Moines Tent and
Awning Company for mammoth tent
which will give space for sometime
over sixty more stalls and this will
give housing to all the cattle exhibit.
Last year there were more cattle than
the cattle barns would hold, but the
horse exhibit was small and some of
the horse barns were used for the cat
tie. The directors Of the fair thought
Of building more barns this year but
would have had time for only temper
ary structures and believed 1t would be
better to delay the matter till another
year when it is expected that the prof.
its Of this years business will give the
treasury sufficient money to put up
another barn or two Of the type OF the
large modern style barn that fs already
on the grounds in the cattle section.
1t is the hope Of the directors that the
next legislature will make an appro-
priation for steel amphitheater and
large hog barn. The present amphi-
theater holds but 5000 people and
there have been crowds Of 10000 that
wanted to get into 1t. It Is the desire
Of the directors to get the legislature
to erect a modern steel structure am
phitheater with capacity of about
10000 set back. from the track piece
and built so that additional sections
can be added to 1t in case the attend
ance is such that there Is a demand
for greater seating capacity. Missouri
which has been holding state fairs for
only about four years has such an am
phitheater which was erected a little
each year.

ARREST ELoPING PAIR
A Boone Constable spoils a Young

Groom Now Faces Charge Of Kid

ndpln9.
Special to Times-Republican.
Boone, Aug. S.-Constable Shade
this morning spoiled very romantic
marriage by arresting Guy Stone, u
young man of this city, and his sweet
heart. Jessie Griffith, young girl also
residing in the south part of town, who
had planned on eloping and getting
married in Nevada.
The apparently happy couple, Bliss
fully ignorant of the fact that war
rant had been issued for the arrest Of
the young man, went to the North
western depot at o'clock this morn
ing and were ready to board the casts
bound way freight which leaves this
city shortly after 6 o'clock. Constable
Shade, however. appeared or the
scene and took the young man to--..e
city Jail and sent the young lady home.
The warrant charged the defendant
with the crime of "wilfully, unlaw-
fully and felonously and without law
full authority, seize, kidnap and carry
away one Jessie Griffith, a female child
under the age of eighteen against her
will and the will of her mother and
guardian, with the intent to keep and
confine her away from her said home
and guardian"
The young lady in the case is well
known in this city. She is a sister of
the young man who died so myster-
iously a short time ago at his home
after taking some medicine for. a cold.
He was insured, the amount being
$1,000, and was left to his sister. No
settlement has as yet been effected, but
it is understood that the adjustors are
here now trying to get the matter set
tied. The death of the young man
was Investigated at the time, but noth-
ing could be learned which would lead
the officers to believe foul play.
The seriousness of the crime charg-
ed, that of kidnapping, causes an un-
usual interest to be taken in the case
The parties to the proposed elopement
are we'll known in this city, both re-
siding on South Division street. The
couple stated that they would have Sc
cured a license in Nevada and gotten
married and returned home probably
this evening. However, fate had an
other card to play and the young low
ers were not given the opportunity to
leave the city. 1t is said that the girls

who swore out the warrant are stren-
uously opposed to the young girl get
ting married while so young.
