WISCONSIN STATE FAIR.

The Wisconsin State Fair will be held
at Milwaukee Sept. Ills, opening on
Monday and closing the following Satur-
day. 1t is safe to say that it will be the
greatest fair ever held in the State of
Wisconsin. The State Board of Agricul-
ture has been exerting it's utmost efforts
to make the fair Of 1905 superior to any
fair that has been held, and with the
strong list of attractions, they have rea-
son to believe that all previous fairs in
this state or in this part of the country
will be excelled.
The racing purses are larger than ever
before, aggregating S28 900, and includ-
ing two purses of S., 600 each and two of
$1,000 each Many improvements are
being made to the grounds, including
the erection of a mammoth stock judg-
ing amphitheater, which is to be used in
the day time Tor stock judging events
and in the evening for enter 5anment
features. The building will bt formally
dedicated on the opening day OF the fair.
Besides the educational features of the
fair, which will be greater in number
and more complete than ever before.
there will be a great variety Of enter
tainment features, all of which have
been secured at a large expense and with
the greatest possible care. 1t fact, the
Wisconsin State Fair this year will be
one of the most important educational
events from an agricultural point of view
and also an event full of entertainment
for the hundreds of thousands of visitors
who will attend.
There will be special rates on all the
railroads and everyone should make his
plans ahead to attend the fair the week
of September Ills.

The comments of the Milwaukee press
seem to indicate that McGovern' grand
jury set out to land two men Charlie
Pfster and Dave Rose. 1t was foregone
that Charlie Ptister would be indicted
for something-dog stealing if not no
other offense. Foxy Dave has so far es-
capped but he may be yet asked what he
did with his last years salary.
