Are Planning a Big Excursion
For Thursday,
THEY CAN TAKE" THE TOWN
Biackfoot viii Furnish the Keys and
Shut Its Own Eyes on What Is
Doing.

| George Robethan was down from
Blackfoet yesterday and spent the day
here with friends. He says the Elks at
Blackfoot are doing everything to make
it pleasant for the Elks of Pocatello and
the southeast when they 60 up there On
Thursday. He says it will be the big
day OF the fair and some OF the choicest
things in the horse racing line have
been saved out for the day the Pocatelle
people arrive.
Elks' Purple Day will be the only day
set apart for Pocatello this year and to
give all Pocatello people an opportunity
to take in the fair and to leave and re-
turn at a reasonable hour, the Elks'
Purple Day. committee met yesterday
and decided to add some coaches to it's
special chartered train, and to invite the
public to use this train for trip to the
fair. The train will leave here at 10
o'clock, and all who desire to 90 to
Blackfoot on this train may purchase
tickets at the Blyth & Fargo Co, Geo.
North's or at the Fair store.
This action is the generous thing on
Che part of the Elks, but the committee
decided that as long as the fair manage
mcnt had set apart no other day for the
people Of Pocatello generally, it was due
the public that they be offered every ia
cility for getting to and from the fair on
that day. The tickets will be sold at
the regular fare for the round trip made
for the occasion, SLIGO for the round trip,
They will be good on the special train
only going, but the tickets will be good
for returning up to and including the
23rd.
Now that the Elks have decided 60 H..
NV NV .lo p''''' W 10 to Blackfoot on the
,~.n, they are anxious that every
body 90 on this train, in order that 81
Pocatello people may arrive at Black 4
foot together and help make it big day \
at the fair, The fellow feeling that has,
always e2istti between the two towns
ought to urge everyone who can get
away for a day to go to Blackfo0t on
Thursday. The Grove City always re.
spends generously whenever any special
occasion is arranged for in Pocatello,
even ball game some time has brought
down small trainload to the Gate City.
Lay off day and 60 up and see the fair
and you will be pleased with the trip.
It will encourage closer bond of friend
hip between the two communities.

Matched Race Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon there was q
matched race at the fair grounds be-
tween Dobbins and Cowboy. 1t was a
quarter dash, with Orion Andrus
in charge of Dobbins. All the local
sports were there with their valuable
opinions and legal tender. The Presto
sports put up $50 just to show they were
good fellows, and after the race they put
it back in their mink skins with the
Dltchman's l per cent. added.
Cowboy belongs to Frank Dekay and
may show the boys trick with hole
IN it before the fair is over, but up to-
date laurels belong to Dobbins.

A Good Attendance With Brighter
Prospects Than Ever
FINE COLLECTION OF EXHIBITS
Tho Paid Admissions Today Were 700.
Indian War Dance a Great Hit
The Balloon Ascension Followed at
the Close Of the Races.

The Big Fair opened today with
bright prospects. The weather clerk
who had been flirting with storm Of
rain and wind, got settled down to
business and ushered in the brightest
day that Idaho is capable of. The
backbone of summer being broken, it
was not too hot nor yet too cool. The
days work commenced early in the
morning with heavy travel on the
roads leading to the fairgrounds, and
all vehicles were loaded with people or
products or both. The stalls at the
training stables have been filling up
for several days, and the stalls inten-
ded for the use of hogs, sheep, cattle
and swine are well filed, while more
stock is being brought in as fast as it
can be unloaded or brought from the
stock yards.
rty-eight entries of fowls were
made early in the day, and they are
the admiration of all who visit the
poultry building.
Things in the Exhibit Hall have been
re-arranged and look nicer than they
ever did before. All the west end of the
hall is decked with works of art, under
direction of Mrs. Woodin, and affords a
very interesting spot.
The south side is taken up largely
with fruits and vegetables, the center is
filed with fruits, and the educational
exhibit is in the north east corner. The
latter is a very good display, being
neater and more compact than such dis
plays usually are, and containing some
excellent work.
Henesh Bros. the harness makers,
have an exhibit of their harness near
the west door and Richard Stevens with
the wireless telegraphy occupied a pos
ition near the east door. =.
The Indians in their war dance were
the leading feature Of the afternoon.
Dressed in all the toggery of feathers
and horns, leggings and breech clouts
they did their figures nicely and won al
hearty applause from the crowds in the
grand stand.
Tomorrow is Militia Day, Thursday
is Elks' Day and Friday is to be given
over to the Eagles.

in the city day or two ago, read
something in the Sun in regard 70
the electrical wire Inspector for Padu-
cab:
Palmer House
Paducah, Ky, May 2.
Editor Evening Sun:
In view of the suggestion made
that the appointment of a city cleo
trical inspector be deferred until as
surance is given by the insurance
companies that this officials inspec-
tions will be recognized, u may in
terest the business men to know that
the wiring rules (known as the Ma
tional Electrical Code) is not the
work of insurance men alone.
quote from its preface; THE Nation
al Electrical Code Is the result of the
united efforts of the various insur-
ance, electrical, architectural and al
lied interests which have, through
the National Conference on stand
ard electrical rules composed of del
egates from various national associa-
tions. unanimously voted to recon-
mend II to their respective associa-
tions for approval or adoption
The following Is list of the asso-
Citations represented in the confer
ence, all of which have approved of
the code:
American Institute of Architects.
American Institute of Electrical
Engineers.
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers.
American Street Railway Associa-
tion.
Associated Factory Mutual Fire
Insurance Companies.
National Association of Fire En-
ginoers.
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers.
National Electric Light Associa-
ton.
National Electrical Contractors
Association.
Underwriters National Electric
Association.
Not only can the city inspector OBJ
tain a copy of these rules, but every
up-to-date electrical contractor has a
copy and knows the requirements,
and knows. too. when he has finished
a piece of work whether or not IL
will stand inspection.
Poor material is sometimes put in
to cut down the expense; sometimes
because the owner doesn't know the
difference. INSPECTOR.

MIR. 4. B. Teachout, travelling
freight agent for the ~, G. and 81
L.. road west of Nashville. with the
exception of Memphis. died yesterday
at Nashville from appendicitis. lie
was operated on last Saturday.
Mr.. Teachout was one of the most
popular travelling men who came to
Paducah. and was here last about
two weeks ago. lie was we'll known
here, brother having several years
ago been passenger agent for the N.
G. and st. l.. here.
Mr.. Teachout lived in Huntingdon.
where he made his home for many
years, Up until week ago he very
seldom felt at all Ill, until he was ta-
ken sick for the last time and hur-
ried to Nashville on special train
placed at his disposal by the COM
pany.
For forty-three years Mr.. Teach
out had been connected with the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St.Louis
railway in varying capacities. He was
first telegraph operator. later local
agent at several points and finally
travelling freight agent. During his
connection with the road he became
probably the best known and best
liked agent in the south. The officials
in the traffic department of the road
feel deeply the loss of Mr.. Teachout
from their stan, not only for the very
valuable services rendered the road,
but for his personality as well. He
was, according TO those who knew
him. as courageous ans he was jo-
vial and kind. A story is told OF an
instance when he was telegraph
operator at Cantallon. There is moth
.ng but an operators Office at the
place. and late one night, when Mr.
Tcachout was at the key. during his
early days of railroading. a wildcat
entered the building and jumped up
on Mr.. Teachout's back. Quick as q
flash Mr.. Teachout had seized the
beast, and after struggle, killed 1t
with his bare hands.
The deceased was 80 years OF age
and leaves a wife, four sons and one
daughter. All of his children are
crown. One of his sons is now local
agent at Huntingdon. Three OF his
sons were with him at the time OF
his death.
The remains were taken to Hunt
,ngdon. where the funeral took place
today. Mr.. Z. s Burnham, local NJ
C. and st. l.. agent, attended from
