BIGGEST DAY IN HISTORY OF
BOONE COUNTY FAIR.
TWELVE THOUSAND ATTENDED,
Gate Receipts Exceeded all Previous
Days by $375-soolety Ia Twenty.
one Years Old and Yesterday Was
BIguest Day In It's History.

Albion, Mob, Sept. Especial to
yesterday outdd all former records
and the people of Boone county and
Albion especially are rejoicing over
the wonderful success OF the same.
The attendance reached tho marvel.
Gus number OF twelve thousand pco.
pie and the gate receipts exceeded nll
former days by three hundred md
sCvnty.nvc dollars. There were three
thousand children under eighteen
years of age who were admitted free.
Tho balloon ascension was n sue.
cess, the ball gnmo was fne and In
favor of Albion against Cedar Rapids.
The best races that have over been
run on the Albion race course came
off in the best possible manner and ns
the weather was simply ideal the day
was one that will long be remembered
in the history OF the Albion fair asso-
citation.
This Is the twcnty-nrst annual fair
that has been held here and there has
never been n year passed without n
good fair and the association has made
a small fortune which they have In.
vested in property for the annual agri.
cultural exhibits which will be held
for years to come.
Special trains were run on both the
C.. g. N. w. and the U. =. railroads
and many people came on each arrlv.
ing train. There were no accidents
during the day and the crowd was cx.
ccedingly peacoable and orderly. All
the concessions on the grounds and
up town made money and every one
had good word for Albion and the
Boone county fair. The town has a
gala day appearance and the programs
out at the grounds consisting of high
diving dogs, aerial performances. slack
wire and other numerous attractions
were exceedingly good Many visit
ors of the state fair remarked that Al
bion was more than n close second to
the Lincoln show
The only disappointment Of the day
was the fact that the Euidelcss won
der mare Chute was lame and unable
to make her exhibit, but the crowd
cheered the appearance of the animal
on the track.

The Omaha Horse Show.

Ever since Omaha secured a place
on the "Big Four" horse show circuit
with Louisville, Kansas City and Chi
cago the success of the second annual
horse show has been assured. No
first year hGrse show in the United
States was ever as successful or at
tracted as much national attention as
did the initial horse show which was
held in Omaha last fall Last year the
directors gave $4,000 in prizes, con-
siderable of the amount being in the
shape of silver cups and trophies, but
this year the $4,000 is to be in cold
coin of the realm and the consequence
is that the secretary is securing en-
tries from the best stables in the
country, the prizes in themselves be-
ing sufficient to attract the best.
The fact that Omaha holds it's show
October 8, which date is the week be
tween the Louisville and Kansas City
shows, is also proving to its great ad
vantage. A special express train will
run from Louisville to Omaha to carry
the crack horses which are always at
! tracted by the Louisville show.

in Fremont.
The Fremont Tribune says:
Enough cigarette papers to make
100000 cigarettes were distributed in
Fremont Yesterday and today through
the United States mails.
They were mailed by New York
tobacco house to every man and boy
in Fremont whose name appears in
the city directory There were about
1000 separate packages Of the papers,
each package containing seven rolls
and each roll twenty-five papers. The
consignment filled two large mail
sacks.
Employees Of the postofice say scat
tering packages Of the kind have been
received through the mails at inter
walls during the past week. The big
| lot for general distribution, however,
did not come till Saturday. They were
sorted and distributed at the boxes
Sunday and by delivery today. Each
| package bore two-cent stamp.
Local tobacco dealers declare that
the new Nebraska law prohibiting the
selling or giving away Of the coffin
nail papers has had the effect of re-
ducing the sale of certain brands OF
tobacco manufactured especially foI
cigarette use. It is presumed that the
manufacturers have become aware oi
the situation and have taken the
course of general free distribution Of
the papers in order to restore theiI
sales in the state.

TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT.

Where He is From

Sign on the Crown Of Headgear Tells
Where He is From.
An eccentric being with a peculiar
little sign on the crown of his black
army hat, and another little badge at
the rear Of the headgear, paraded the
streets of Norfolk this morning. The
sign on the front of the hat, made of
paper enclosed in a wire ring, reads
George Keller from Sully at Lake
Baden, Germany, Norfolk, Neb., North
America"
He says that if the city of Norfolk
will donate an acre of ground to him
he will establish a plant here for the
manufacture Of signs similar to the
one that he wears on his hat
Most of the people who saw him
don't believe in signs, anyway, and
the others concluded that Keller is
talking through his hat.

LODGES SLAYER HELD; NO BAIL
Drunken Deputy Marshal Who Killed
Son of Norfolk People.

son OF NOTIOlR fSOplC'
The slayer of John Lodge at Sacra-
mento, Cal, has been held to district
court without bail. An account of the
preliminary hearing of the murderer
is given as follows in the Sacramento
Union:
The preliminary examination of
Philip James, charged with the mur.
der of John Lodge in the betting ring
during the state fair, was held before
Township Justice Clarken yesterday
and resulted in the prisoner being held
to answer before the superior court
without bonds.
James still showed the effect of the
terrific beating and kicking he re.
ceived at the hands of the crowd after
he had fired the fatal shot. The crowd
beat and kicked him until he was left
for dead, and he was only just regain
ing consciousness when the Sheriff ar
rived and hustled him off to the cOun-
ty iail. 1t is believed that the prompt
appearance of the sheriff saved James
life.
The testimony at the preliminary eX-
animation closely followed that taken
at the coroner's inquest. An incident
of the examination was when Miss
Maggie Cunningham, an aunt OF the
deceased, was asked if she remem-
bered the date of the shooting at the
race track, replied: "No; Pm losing
track of the time since John was muir
dered," and she looked straight at
James. who WINGED perceptibly.
Other witnesses testified to having
seen James fire the fatal shot and
DR.. G. l.. Stevenson, who conducted
the autopsy, testified as to the nature
of the wound that caused death.
James counsel, G. B. Harris and
James L. Copeland, declined to place
the defendant upon the stand and
Judge Clarken held him to answer to
the superior court on the murder
charge, without bonds.

The real reason why Japan made

rect In letter to his brother, DR.. ].
II. Mackay Of this city, the tourist,
who Is now at Honolulu, declares that
Japan was forced to back down and
out of the struggle because of the
great loss Of life from the soldier
ranks due to the black plague.
One man in every three OF the Jap
soldiers has succumbed to this dread
ed disease before the war came to an
end. The death rate was daily In
creasing and the Japanese saw that
with this deadly epidemic constantly
tearing down their soldiers, It was
useless to continue the struggle when
they had already won everything In
sight and had terms very nearly their
own way.
All news Of the plague. declares Mr.
Mackay, is strenuously suppressed be
cause of the injury which It's publica

There is a plan on foot for the

ing their meetings in the Old
Masonic building. These orders
are generally strong in member
ship and in good, growing con-
dition, and it is conceded that
they deserve, and can have if
they choose, such well-equipped
quarters, thoroughly adapted to
lodge users as would be a credit
both TO themselves and to Earl
ington. The officers and mem
bers of these orders are asked to
consider the question and to
take official action by appoint
ing committees with power to
act so that cooperation may be
had in a way TO make the ex,

A few personal friends, who
are members Of the different or
ders, were consulted by Mr.,
Moore before any announcement
was made and these endorsed
the movement in an unqualified

The concensus of opinion was
that the project was wholly prac
tical and one on which all could

MOORE ACQUITTED.
Evidence in the Case Proved That He
Acted in Self Defense

Upon examing trial before
Judge Bradley at Madisonville
Monday Rowland Moore was ac-
quilted for the killing M. MUIR
rah at Chesley Sunday, August
9th.
The testimony given at the
time of the trial proved that
Murrah was advancing on Moore
with drawn knife and that
Moore did all he possibly could
to avoid MIN, but when cornered
stabbed him twice, once in the
wrist and again over the Iheart
the latter wound proving fatal.
The killing created no little
excitement at the time it was
done. Murrah was a hard work
ing man of good reputation and
very quiet when sober, but when
drinking as the evidence in the
case showed he was dangerous
man.
After all the evidence had
been heard Judge Bradley was
of the opinion that the killing
was done in self defense and SO
instructed.

Kentucky Crop Report.

The month of August was
very seasonable. Some locaIi-
ties complain of most too much
rain, and some of not enough.
But, as a whole, crops have not
suffered materially by either
drouth or excess of rain.
The corn cropis a good one.
The only complaints are, that on
low, wet lands it suffered for
want of proper cultivation and
some of it drowning out. But
taking the State over, the crop
is full average.
The yield of wheat per acre is
little below the average for
the State. Oats and rye are
above the average.
The tobacco crop is also a good
one, and an unusual amount has
been housed for the time of year.
There was some damage done by
worms, and in some localities it
suffered for cultivation. There is
also some complaint of house
burn of the early cutting. There
seems to be quite a good deal OF
the 1904 crop still in hands of the
farmers. Fourteen per cent OF
the hurley and 25 per cent Of
dark remains unsold September
1st. Prices of tobacco of the
1904 crop, compared with prices
of the previous crop, were for
hurley IA per cent less, while
that OF dark was is per cent
more.
The hay crop is full average
i'll quantity, but large per cent
of it is more or less damaged by
excessive moisture at the time of
harvesting.
Live stock of all kinds are re-
ported IN good condition. No di-
sease of any kind is reported
from any county in the State.
About the usual number of
young colts and mules are re-
ported. Breeding cattle and
sheep are about an average,
while breeding sows are little
below. On the whole, the farm
ers seem to be in good shape so
far as an abundant harvest is
concerned.
