EDITORS NEED
THE MONEY
Will Boycott State Fair Tn.
less Management Hands
Them Each $500.

A boycott on the state fair has
been declared by the Minnesota
Home Print Press association,
comprising 90 Of the leading
home print papers in the state.
The editors Of the these papers
at a meeting Of the association at
the Winsor hotel, St. Paul, yes.
terday decided not to give the
state fair any publicity unless
the board of managers agrees to
give each paper at least $15.
"We are not going to mention
the fair this year unless we are
paid for it," said a member of
theassociationy yesterday. Every
body in connection with the fair
makes money, and the@country
editors who are expected to do
this work get nothing. The man.
ayers of the fair get good salaries,
and the association under whose
auspices the fair is held make a
big profit each year. Why should
not we, who doas much as any
one else to advertise the fair, get
small share of the profits?"

Wau-eyed pike and thousands of
large Whitefsh have been washed
on the shores Of the Gull and
Round lakes, dead from the eff
fects of the parasite. "A box con.

SPOILS MUSIC
Band Concert Last Night
Was lnterfered With by
Beating Of Army Drum.

The band concert given last
night at the corner Of Third
street and Minnesota avenue was
a disappointment to Prof. Sym
lngton and a large number of
citizens who turned out to hear
the music on account of the beat
ing Of the Salvation army drum
at the corner of Third street and
Beltrami avenue. While the
band played the army contingent
rendered it's usual evening con
cert and the com bination did not
tend to harmonic with any de-
gree OF accuracy. Both organiza-
tlons have a perfect right to ap-
pear upon the street at any time,
however, and the occurrence is
likely to be repeated unless the
band and Salvationists get to-
gether and make arrangements
SO that both will not appear in so
close proximity at the same time.
