one large room most artistically
decorated with Idaho grains and

is such as to make an Idahoan

thing in their lines we saw in

The editor who was robbed of
$40 on the editorial excursion has
set people wondering how an editor
became possessed of SO much wealth.
It is explained by the fact that he
had not been long in the publish

PORTLAND AND THE FAIR.

Nugget is not an expert by
any means in worlds fair mat
ters, but after a visit to the
Lewis and Clark fair at Portland
he feels that anyone must have
been sadly surfeited with sight
seeing or very dull and wanting
in appreciation who will not feel
that he has been more than re.
paid the time and expense of his
visit. The exposition is not so
grand in its proportions or as
elaborate in design as several Of
its predecessors are claimed to
have been, but nevertheless it is
big enough to require more than
an ordinary mind to take in all
that is to be seen.
In beauty Of location and ar
rangement Of the many massive
buildings, and adornment of the
grounds, it certainly is very com
plete and altogether forms a
picture so beautiful that it must
leave a lasting impression on
every mind not too dull or blase
to be impressed by the beautiful.
Portland itself is a most pictur-
esque and beautiful city. The
compactly built and busy bust
ness section near the river, with
it's warehouses and docks and
drawbridges and shipping on the
river, will not strike one as being
different from that of other SINH
larry situated cities, but once get
away from this business section
and one cannot help being most
favorably impressed. The resi-
dences, chiefly constructed of
wood, surrounded by ample and
well kept lawns, shrubbery and
shade, are certainly very attrac-
tive, in this city where roses and
other flowers grow in the open
nearly all the year. Then there are
many primeval forests of pine
crowding down close to the
homes, and from the nights sur
rounding the city, the sight is a
grand one, taking in as it does,
the junction OF the willamette
and Columbia rivers, and rural
and forest scenery and the lofty
snow capped mountain peaks in
the distance.
The fair grounds are located
near the river at the lower end of
the city, with a forest clad hill
for background and an island
in the river, upon which are the
buildings with the Governments
portion of the display. The
are beautifully laid off
and the buildings admirably ar
ranged. Both by day light, and
at night, when lighted by thous-
ands OF electric lamps, they form
a picture worth going far to see.
But, let US walk around to the
Idaho building. Unique among
It's fellows, not to be called either
grand or beautiful, shut out from
view from most of its fellows, but
commanding fine view OF the
sland and government buildings,
he Trail, terraced river front
and much OF the grounds. En-

INSTITUTE NEXT WEEK.
Everything Now Ready for One of the
Greatest Educational Gatherings Ev.
er Held in the County.

Are you coming to the Insti-
tute next week ? 1t promises to
be the best ever held in Fulton

treat if you are not here.
The programs indicate that
both day and evening sessions
will be much above the ordinary.
Monday nights lecture will be
a feast. DR.. King has never been

Fl. M. Griffith, of Wells Tannery,
says of King, CDR, King can run
the entire institute and make it
success without another instruct
or or lecturer present."
There is no doubt either as to
the success of Tuesday nights

Rachel Peck of this city, and Miss
Mamie Waters, daughter of Mr..
md Mrs. Chas. Waters of Blevins
street, were to be married Wednes
day and Friday evenings. Inves
tigation proved that license had
been secured some time during
the middle of the week, but the
time for the ceremony was kept
pretty well in the back ground,
save with the near relatives and
most intimate friends.
Sunday evening at six o'clock
the twain was made one by Rev
Lawrence at the homo of tne
brides parents on Blevlns street
none but the immediate families
and near friend or two being
present. The ceremony was q
pretty one and after congratula
tons the company sat down to 8
sumptuous wedding supper.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peck are both
popular and among the best young
people of the city, each beng well
connected and each belonging to
and moving IN the best social and
religious circles. Mrs. Peck has
been a trusted clerk and book
keeper atLlppincott's long time
and Mr. Peck has been connect
ed with the clothing department
of S. P. Curtis & Co.'S, store foi

IMPURE GROCERIES.
Harrisburg Dealers Again In Trouble
Over Bad Food.

The Harrisburg egraph of
Wednesday says:
Harrisburg grocers and meat
sellers are worried almost to the
point of distraction by the activl-
ty of the Pure Food Department.
They say they can no longer rely
on the word of manufacturers or
packers and that they are in con-
slant danger of beng arrested
and fined for the sale of goods
which the manufacturers have
guaranteed to be pure.
The latest blow came when two
well-known brands of catchup
and one widely advertised brand
of meat sauce were ordered off
the market under penalty of fines
for the further sales thereof.
Hundreds of bottles which local
dealers had on hand were i'm ned
lately boxed up and shipped back
to the makers.
These goods were bought with
the distinct understanding that
they were pure and contained no
preservatives unlawful IN this
State. The same can be said of
a numb Der of brands Ct sausages
and bacon which the grocers are
now at a loss from whom to buy
and are IN constant fear lest the
discovery be made that others of
the "old standards" are adulter-
ated and unfit for food.

DANNIE LOGAN KILLED.
Meets Death at Narberth Station While
Waiting for His Sister.
FELL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF TRAIN.

The many friends of the faml-
ly in this place were greatly
shocked to learn that Daniel To-
gan, son of the late Judge Daniel
Logan, OF Ayr township, met a
terrible death at Narberth station
on the Pennsylvania railroad a
few miles west of Philadelphia, on
Monday evening.
After the death of Judge Logan
a few years ago, his family pur-
chased ahomeln Narberth, a pret.
ty suburban town of Philadelphia.
and removed to it, where they
have since lived.
Daniel has been in i'll health TO,
some time and has been at
home. On Monday evening he
walked to the railroad station to
wait for his sister Eleanor, whom
he expected on the incoming
train, and was standing on the
platform as the tram came in.
It's supposed that he stood too
near the tracks, and fell directly
IN front of the train. The engln-
eer saw the young man when 1t
was too late, and after he had
made every effort to stop his train
he jumped to the platform, leav
ing the fireman to stop the tram,
and lifted the unconscious form
from the tracks. The wheels had
not passed over the young man,
but he was crushed between the
cars and the platform.
The station agent telephoned
the hospital, and the same train
which had struck Logan, took
him to Bryn Mawr, where he died
without regaining consciousness.
On account of the weakened
condition of Mr.. Logan, 1t is be
lieved he had an attack of vertigo
and fell forward under the train.
While the surgeons in the hos
pital said every bone in his anat-
omy had been broken, strange to
say his body was not mangled as
he was crushed between the plat.
form and the trucks and rolled
along, the wheels not passing over
his body. HIS mother who has
been IN very i'll health for some
time and the rest of the family
have the sincerest sympathy OF
their fulton county friends.
