Des Molnes. Aug. 31.--F. j. warnal,
who is secretary Of the American Roy
al Live Stock Show of Kansas City,
which will show October to IA, Is in
attendance at the state fair and is ore
of the judges OF the polled Durhams
and red polled cattle He is breeder
OF Shorthorn cattle and since 1898 has
exhibited at the Iowa fair every year
TIL this year. He is also a member
Of the state senate Of Missouri and is
chairman of the appropriations con.-
mittee. He Is also a director Of the
American Shorthorn Breeders Assc,-
citation. You can say this without
fear OF contradiction" said Senator
Warnall today, that there is not a
state fair in the United States any
where that has grown more rapidly
than the Iowa state fair. 1t has simply
made marvellous progress. AS diree;-
tor of the American Shorthorn Breed
ers' Association / take a hand In vot-
ing an appropriation to the Iowa state
fair for additional premiums for the
Shorthorn class and we are always glad
to vote an appropriation for Iowa, for
the reason that Governor Packard, the
superintendent Of the cattle, Is so thor
oughly impartial, and his predecessor
was likewise. The Iowa state fair lis
getting bigger and better every y,...,
with better class of attractions and
q more evenly balanced fair. It will
rank with any Of .hem."

It Is learned from Senator Warnall
that the legislature of Missouri voted
IN appropriation OF s$146000 for the
erection of j q stock pavilion for the
state fair OF Missouri The stock pa.-
vilion Of the Iowa state fair cost $70.-
600. The Missouri pavilion is built
on the same lines of the pavilion fc,r
this state, but Is immensely larger The
larger pavilion gives ample room for
the handling Of the crowds and also
much more room for tl1ei showing 10
stock, especially in the driving horse
classes where good space is needed.
The Missouri fair also has a steel anl-
phitheater which the Iowa directors
hope to have for this state next year.
At the fair yesterday and the day be-
fore ALSO when the enormous crowds
were in attendance, not more than
about half Of the people who wished TO
see the races had an opportunity. The
amphitheater will hold about $500
seated, and about 1,e00 more can be
jammed IN. Yesterday there were sew
eral members Of the Iowa legislature
who got caught in the jam that tried
to see the races. The result was that
they came near not seeing anything.
After their experience was over they
were thoroughly convinced that an APP
preparation of 100000 was necessary ;at
the session next January to build a fire
proof steel amphitheater that would
take care Of the crowds. 1t Is recoss-
nized that the enormous crowds will
not continue to come to attend the fair
il they are not amply cared for and 1t
is proposed to make every effort to do
this with new amphitheater. So far
as the other buildings are concerned
Iowa. is well taken care Of for the
present. p
The government Indian band that
has been playing at the state fair
grounds this week and played at the
flag ceremonies at the state house yes
terday, is to go abroad with the per-
mission of the government this fall.
After reaching London the band will
be under the charge and direction OF
whitelaw Reid, the American ambas-
sador. Major Wiley will, of course,
be in active direction Of the band. The
band will make a. tour of England and
the continent. There is not an Indian
in the organization who Is not at least
half breed, and most OF them are
full-blood Indians, and their music Is
equal to most Of the high class Or
ganizations of the country. The play
ing at the state house yesterday was
complimentary on the part Of Major
Wiley to the old soldiers, he being
himself veteran and acquainted with
many of those who were at the cere-
monies.
A building Is now in course of erec-
ton at Eldora the mason work of
which is all being done by the boys
who are attending the school. The
board of control is anxious to teach
as many of the better trades as possl-
Bile, and some Of the boys who hay'e
left Eldora have gone direct to emf
ployment as masons at good salaries
The difficulty with teaching masonry
is the fact that brick buildings are
comparatively rare. That is to say,
there are stretches between the eree.-
ton Of one building and the erection
of the next. This breaks into the
course of training and interrupts tile
TH a. ,1r 10 Ia ~
buildings to work on at all times the
boys could be taught the trade nicely
and greatly to their benefit.
