FERGUS FAIR
TO BE GREAT
Directors Are to Hold Their Initial
Meeting Saturday and Take Up
Work In Earnest.
IT PROMISES TO BE A HUMMER
Many New Features Will be Added
Agricultural Exhibit to Go to
State Fair.

The directors of the Fergus County
Fair association are to hold their first
meeting Saturday afternoon to take
the initial steps in arranging for the
fair to be held here in the fall. F. E.
Wright is the chairman of the board,
and in his absence, Vice President
David Hilger is acting, with o. w.
Belden as secretary, the other men,
bers of the board being L. w. Eld-
ridge, r. Won Tobel, Samuel Phillips,
D. M. Crowley, J. NJ. Weaver and G.
w. Cook. All are enthusiastic over
the outlook, and unanimous in the
belief that the fair this year will far
eclipse anything of the kind ever wit
messed in the Judith basin.
People Are Interested.
Secretary Belden believes the peo-
pie are going to have a 1air this year
that will really reflect great credit
on the county, and his chief reason
for this lies in the fact that the people
themselves are deeply interested in
the project. Although it is early yet,
they are looking forward to the event.
and in travelling through the country,
he finds that the people are eager to
see high standard reached.
Il was in Moore the orner day." said
Mr.. Belden to the Argus today, "and
everyone l met there was interested
in the fair. 1t is the same wherever
l have been lately, and when the peo'
pie are back of a project in that way,
it is going to be success"
Will Have New Features.
Acting Chairman David Hilger Is
giving a good deal of his time to fair
matters just now, and he has no doubt
in the world that it will be regular
record breaker.
1--WE are going to have some new
failures this year." said Mr.. Hilger to
day. ''In the first place, our exhibits
are going to be more extensive and
varied than ever before. This is very
important, because we intend to senG
the cream of our exhibit to the state
fair at Helena. That exhibit will moi
be confined this year, as 1t was last
to minerals. We want to show the
people of the state, as far as we can
by this method, what we are doing
and can do in an agricultural way
Our resources are really unknown te
teh state at large, and we want tt
make an end of some of the ancien
ideas held abroad. Outside of thai
feature, we are going to have some
fine races this year. The indications
are that some of the best horses tt
be found in the state will come in fol
this meet. There are number o
other attractions that we do not carr
to announce yet, but altogether th'
fair will be hummer.
Special Rates Expected.
It is proposed to make the fair al
extraordinary attraction for three day
during the third week in September
and it is confidently expected tina
| special rates will be given by the rail
road for the big event. This will brinl
large crowd to the city and Will
the fair is on Lewistown will be abou
t the liveliest spot in Montana.

Time cannot be given for the re-
pair Of the injuries received in battle.
Therefore the vessels cannot be re-
paired unless interned until the end
Of hostilities.''
Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly.
1t was stated by Secretary Taft that
If the Russian vessels agreed to leave
Manila they were welcome to do so,
but as it did not appear that they suf.
fered from any damage caused by the
sea or storm this government will be
obliged to take the position above out

Toxic, June .. noon.-The cardinal
causes of Rojestvensky's defeat have
been the subject of discussion here.
One Japanese expert gives the follow
ing analysis: First, an imperfect
reconnaissance and incompetent,
faulty and misleading intelligence;
second an imperfect battle formation.

WANT JAPS EXCLUDED.
Their Presence in California Is Greatly
Feared.

Danger from an industrial invasion OF
the United States by the japanese mas
assumed such real proportions on the
western coast that the Legislature OF
California has taken official cognlzance
of the situation. The California Senate
has passed a resolution urging the lmme-
date action by treaty to limit turtner
Japanese immigration into the united
States. The matter of restricting Jap
anese immigration is attracting VIDE at
tention throughout the West. 1nVestlSa-
ton of the subject is bringing to light
the fact that the existing exclusion laws
are being broken by japanese lmmlgra-
ton. in some instances through the con-
niyance of the courts. japanese trade
unionism and the padrOne system III
vogue among the japanese are part OF
the many grievances which are alarming
the white population and occasionlng the
declaration that there is more to be
| feared from the japanese than there
| ever was to have been feared from CHI
| nese immigration before the passage or
the Geary exclusion act. There is a
growing popular clamor for the passage
of an equally as stringent an act against
| the japanese as is now enforced against
| the Chinese.
The report of the Attorney General
| of the United States for 1903 contains
| statement furnished by Special Ex-
aminer G. V. G. Van Duesen, in which
| he SAYS that, Notwithstanding the fact
| that the federal statutes exclude from
| the rights of citizenship all persons eN-
| cept free white persons and those of
| fricon nativity and descent, the courts
have admitted to citizenship persons not
belonging to either of these two divis-
| ions. Mr.. Van Deusen says that this is
particularly true of courts on the Pacific
coast, which have naturalized many ma
| tives of Japan. and that the clerks OF
these courts still continue to accept from
such persons declarations of their inten-
| ton to become citizens.

CALL OFF TRANSFERS STRIKE.

Leaders Decide to Abandon Contest
with Montgomery Ward & Co.
The teamsters' strike in Chicago col
lapsed suddenly Monday night. The
fight against Montgomery Ward & Co.
was abandoned at the request of the
garment workers. The garment work
ers' strike, which has been in progress
against twenty-eight wholesale cloth
ing houses since last November. will
continue without the aid of the team
sters. This struggle will continue to
receive the support Of the Chicago Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
One condition was attached to the
ending of the transfers strike. Presi-
dent Shea would consent to drop the
contest only Oh the promise Of the en-
ployers to reinstate all Transfers who
have struck or been discharged. The
employers may refuse to agree to this
condition. If they do refuse Shea will
demand that the fight be continued

An increase of 3 to per cent in the
premium rates for policies which do not
confer upon their holders a right to par
ticipate in the dividends of the company
has been put into effect by four of the
largest life insurance companies in this
country. The new rates of the different
companies are essentially the same. On
ordinary life policies the increase over
old rates is between ) and 6 per cent.
This is the largest increase. On limited
payment life and endowment policies the
advance is between 8 and 5 per cent,
varying somewhat according to the age of
the assured. The advance in sales fol-
lows complaints made by holders of par
ticipating policies that the difference be-
tween the rates charged for a non-partici-
pating policy and those charged for a
policy that participates in the profits of
the company have in some instances
amounted to more than the dividends
paid to the participating policy holder.

ourselveA as others Sec us.

The American man is more consist
emily considerate of and generous to
women than any fellow on earth, and
In no country does he get sharper
gnubbing for his pains, says an En-
glishman in the London Chronicle. The
handling of husbands by wives in
America amounts to an art, profess
sion, almost a science.
Based on the theory that the more
one has to do the more one can accom-
plish, ladies who have hard-w orking,
enterprising spouses simply retire from
and business satisfactorily, why not
take over the house and servants?
What is known as "a good husband"
in the States is first-class, non firing
money-making machine, who gives ev-
erything, asks nothing and brags
ceaselessly of his wife's PROJECTIONS.
Should he presume to criticise a
charred chop or fat souffle or COM
plain at the size of the Diapers bill,
he is set down as a brute, and the wife
is pitied as a frst-class martyr!
For such sins as the above two men
of my acquaintance were forced to live
in hotels a year at time. They had
committed the crime Of finding fault
with the impeccable sex, and were
reduced to subsection by having their
homes taken from them. For my part
I think the Briton's way is best

against Montgomery Ward & Co. in-
definitely on that basis.
The teamsters' strike against Mont
gomery Ward & Co. was declared in
aid of the United Garment Workers,
4 900 of whose members walked out of
twenty-nine clothing factories on Nov.
II, 1904, in protest against the 'open
shop The Ward firm was singled out
as vulnerable, and, by conquering that
house, the strike leaders hoped to
bring others in the National Whole
sale Tailors Association into line. For
the purposes Of the strike every labor
union in Chicago contributed, and a
strike fund estimated at $4,000 a
week was raised. One of the notable
results of the struggle was the birth of
the Employers Teaming Company.

GIANT STRIDES IN DIVORCE.
Cities IN Which Every Fourth Mar
riage Ends in Separation.

rage Ends in Separation.
In the light of the modern evil of di-
vorce the old saying, which usually fol-
lowed the mention of the marriage of
the hero and heroine, ''they lived happily
ever after will have to be discarded.
| Cupidity, nowadays, seems to have
usurped the office once exercised by
Cupid. With the higher education wom-
an resigned her divinityship. With the
| higher civilization she adopted equality
as her watchword She no longer has
reality expurgated from life for her ben
| eft The white mans burden is also
| hers.
| Those who still venture into matri-
mony do SO with the consciousness that
the divorce court is just behind the
church. The prediction of Henry James
| that the great war of the future would
| be the strife between the women and
| the men would appear to be III a fair
way of realization.
| No greater object lesson could be had
in confederation of these views than that
which study of the divorce statistics
| affords.
| In 1881 the total number of divorces
| granted in the United States came to
2O,762. In 1901 the cities of 10000 pop
ulation and over alone contributed that
number.
In San Francisco, Kansas City, Los
Angeles and Seattle every fourth mar
riage entered into ends in divorce. In
Maine in 1901 there was one divorce to
every seven marriages, in 1902 one in
six. In New Hampshire in 1901 the
marriages were at the rate of eight ia
one divorce. Vermont in 1902 had one
divorce to each ten marriages. In Mas.
