big Crowd ut State Fair.

HELENA, Oct. 3.-The second day of
the fair opened today under peculiarly
suspicious conditions. 1t was North
Montana day % the program, but it
might have been "All Montana" day,
it seemed from the attend ance. which
included prominent residents from
every section OF the state.
Fire threatened to cause consider.
able loss this morning at the fair
grounds. A haystack in the west emo
of the grounds caught on fire, presum-
ably from sparks from q Great North
ern engine, and was soon a mass of
flames. The fire communicated to the
grass in that part of the grounds, and
was driven by a high wind east to-.
ward the livestock stables. Several
hundred men ran to the place and
managed to check the spread of the
fire. In this they were assisted by
men who drove a sprinkling cart over
the threatened area. A steam pillow on
exhibition at the grounds was also
used with good effect, and after half
an hour OF fierce fighting the fire al
put out.
Practically all of the exhibits are
NOW in place, and a splendid showing
they make of Montana's resources and
industries. Never before have so
many exhibits from the farms, gard
ems, orchards, range, mines and for
ests of the state been assembled at one
place. While most conspicuous among
the exhibits are those from the farm
and orchard, every other line of in.
dustry and endeavor is we'll represent

complete in every department.. AS an
advertisement to Montana the State
fair must accomplish wonderful things.

ance at the fair is materially greater
than that of the second day, and If no
larger crowds should visit the fair
grounds during the remainder of the
week than Is on hand today, the at

NAN PATTERSON AT HOME.
Chorus Girls Arrival at Washington
Was Pathetic.

Nan Patterson, accompanied by her

train the party at once proceeded to
the Patterson home on Columbia
heights, modest two story cottage,
where they arrived in time for break

When the carriage conveying the
party reached the corner of the street
adjacent to the Patterson residence,
the impatient girl could restrain her
self no LANCER. She sprang from the
vehicle and ran down the block, stop

she came to them on their way to
meet her. She hesitated only long
enough to give a brief greeting to

LOAN SHARKS IN BAD WAY.
Governor Deneen of Illinois Signs a
Drastic Measure

Springfield, Ill.-GoVernor Deneen
has signed the anti-loan shark bill.
The bill provides that no assignment
of wages or salary shall be valid un-
less the assignment is acknowledged
before a justice of the peace and en-
tered upon his docket, and a true
copy is served upon the person, firm
or corporation from whom the wages
or salary is to become due. The as
signment by a married person is in
valid unless acknowledged by the as
signor's wife or husband.
An assignment given as security for
loan tainted with usury is absolute
ly void, as is every assignment of
wages to be earned more than six
months after the making of the as
signment. Firms and corporations
threatened win suit to enforce an
assignment of wages not properly ex-
ecuted can apply to a court of equity
for perpetual Injunction.

Blows Down Walls.

Paris-The siege of the house in the
village of Usseau, department of
Deux Sevres, which an outlaw, heav-
lily armed, held in defiance of the au-
thorities, was brought to conclusion
Sunday morning, when a lieutenant of
engineers placed a charge of nell
mite against the wall. The soldiers,
forming a Gordon, withdrew to a safe
distance, the bugles were sounded and
the melinite was exploded, destroying
half the building. Then the gen.
darmes rushed in, only to find the out
law had escaped. In the meantime
a commotion among the enormous
crowd assembled near the house had
been occasioned by the outlaws ap-
pearance among them. The prisoner
was formerly a gamekeeper, and is
charged with shooting and wounding
his late employer. During the siege
he wounded four gendarmes.

Electric Road Makes Dirt FIy-Blocks
NJ. p. Plans.

Lewiston, Idaho, May 15.-The
Lewiston & Southern Electric railway
Sunday countered upon the Northern
Pacific by putting SO men, with teams
and scrapers, to work upon the right
Of way three miles south of this city,
at the mouth of Tammany hollow, the
gateway from Lewiston to the prairie
country. The men are divided into
two crews, one working toward the
city and the other working in the op-
posite direction. This force will prob
ably be doubled tomorrow.
This move was wholly unexpected,
even by many citizens who have been
leaders in the subscription campaign,
as it was only last night at midnight
that Colonel Judson Spofford closed
the contract with Naylor & Norlin for
six miles of grading.
The men were at work at o'clock
Sunday morning, and at 8 o'clock
some of the promoters of the project
gathered at the mouth of the gulch
and drank toasts to the success of
the enterprise. Toasts were given by
Colonel Spofford, j. A. Crom, w. H
