Petition for Pardon.
State of Mississippi,

State of Mississippi,
Lee County.
To His Excellency Jas. K. Vardaman,
Governor:
Your petitioner, Mack Kimbal, would
respectfully show that at the August
term, 1905, in the Circuit Court of Lee
county. Miss, he was convicted OF an
unnamable crime and sentenced to serve
a term of six months in the pe%nitentiary;
that he is not guilty of said charge and
has been confined in the county Jail since
his trial, not being allowed to give a
supersedeas bond; that the Supreme
Court has affirmed the decision of the
lower court; that the jury in rendering
a verdict of guilty, recommended him to
the fullest mercy of the court; that
after his trial his attorneys procured
and filed in court on a motion for a new
trail, the afidavits of five members of
the grand jury which indicted him to
the effect that the only witness against
him on whose testimony he was convict
ed, swore entirely different before said
grand jury to what he swore On the
trial of said cause; and also the affida-
Wit of other witnesses who are reputa-
BILE men, to facts which would show
that it would have been absolutely i'm
possible for him to have committed the
offense charged All of affidavits are
on file in the Office of the Circuit Clerk
in Lee county and copies of which are
on file in the Supreme Court of the
state, all of which you are earnestly re-
quested to examine fully, and petitioner
therefore asks that you grant him a
pardon.

Great Interest in the Fair.

Robt. II. Cosgrove, secretary and
manager of the Spokane Interstate
fair, which Is held this year from Oc-
tober 9 to Is. has been travelling IN
various parts of the country about Spo-
kane. and reports that there is an un-
expected interest everywhere manifest
nj the Spokane fair this year. People
who are interested in developing the
country and in bringing new corners
from the east are especially disposed
to help the fair this year. because it is
to be visited by so many people from
the east. Many people who were seen
on the recent chamber OF commerce
annual excursion to the Occur d'Alenos
inquired about the fair and were as
sured 1t is to be given this year as
usual and that 1t is the intention 20
make 1t better than ever before in or
der to make good impression on trav-
elers from the eastern states.
Many people asked me about the
fair" said Mr.. Cosgrove on his return
from the recent excursion There Is
every reason to believe the attendance
from outside of Spokane will be very
large. I was surprised and pleased ut
the interest shown"

LIGHT FRUIT CROP.
p...h.. Scarce at Walla WaIla, but
Vegetables Are Plentiful.

walla walla, Wash, July 29.-Fruit
On the walla Walla market is almost
an unknown quantity, as 1t Is between
seasons. Peach plums in very small
lots are being purchased and packed
for shipment by the produce houses;
also a few apples although the latter
are very scarce Vegetables are more
plentiful than fruit Potatoes and on
ions constitute the greater part OF the
shipments. The first home grown
muskmelons are coming in, and are
quoted at about So box. Tomatoes
have fallen from the opening price or
sl,2O a box to an even dollar, with quite
a few coming into the market. Gu
cumbers are selling for so and 60 cents
a box. and summer squash about the
same.
The usual shipments are being made
through the express offices to the Mon
tana and Inland Empire markets as
usual The scarcity OF fruit is made
up greatly by the good vegetable
crops, and the produce growers are
not suffering for stuff to market.
