RIGS, not too carnal, yet with a GER
tain flavor, are not plentiful. One may
ask indulgence therefore, and hope not
to be thought falling into ones "anec-

a chestnut. Some of our readers have
heard this from the London Chronicle,
as we have years ago, yet there may be
others-and here it is. In an ordinary

An Era of Prosperity.

Col. Edward Tynte commenced his

predecessors. The calamities which
had befallen the people had tended
somewhat to make them forget their
being united i'm sentiment The pro-
prietors had concluded that the south
ern portion of their possessions in
America was by far the most desirable.
Brief histories of the country had been
published in London. In these histo-
ries, the authors lauded, in no moder-
ate terms, the soil, climate and pro-
duction of that portion Of North Amer
lea which is now called South Caroli-
ma. These glowing descriptions, in
the main correct, We're disseminated all
over the United Kingdom and as far
as the Rhine. The proprietors, at
last, as we will see in the sequel, when
it is too late, began to be more accom-
modating i'm their actions and more
i'm February, 1710, they wrote to Tynte
earnestly requesting him to do every
thing i'm his power to conciliate the
minds of the inhabitants, 50 that every
semblance of party might be eXtin-
guished. The reason they assign for
thus instructing Governor Tynte they
thus express: I'VE can by no ways

that section were more hostile than in
South Carolina. Such being the case,

Hartie Testimony.

Pittsburg, July Pin the Hartje
trial counsel for Augustus Hartje
called witnesses to refute the story
told by Coachman tom" Nadine to
the effect that while Mrs. Scott Hart
je was in Memphis, Hartje met a
blonde woman in schenley Park, and
took her to his home in the carriage
driven by Nadine.
A new sensation in the case is
promised before the week is over.
Josephine Wright, whom Augustus
Hartje had been charged with visit
ing at No, 24O Second avenue, was
placed on the stand and testified that
Hartje had never visited her. that
she only knew him and had never
spoken to him. The manner in which
John M Freeman OF counsel for Mrs.
Hartje croSs-examined her, led to a
report that witnesses would be placed
on the stand by Mrs HartJe to rebut
the Wright womans testimony.

FAIR DATES CONFLICT

Cross and Has Been Unfortu-

Long ago, when the matter Of the
date Of the state fair was first under
consideration, there was correspond
ence with the management Of the Min
nesota state fair and. the Winnipeg
exposition, in the effort to name dates
which would not conflict The Winni-
peg people announced that dates had
not been decided upon, but would
probably be the first week in August
the same as the previous year. 1t
was a question whether to put the
North Dakota state fair before or aft
er the Manitoba show, but it was de-
cided to have 1t the week before and
rt4ley were notified to that effect-that
the last week in July had been chosen
so as not to conflict with their dates.
Notwithstanding this they named the
same week, and the authorities here
then wondered if it might not be best

The Court Made the De-
cision Today.
ELECT GENERAL OVERSEER
PROPERTY is HELD IN TRUST
AND DOES NOT BELONG TO
DoWIE-ALExANDER GRANGER
SEVERELY SCORED FOR THE
OATH HE HAD TAKEN.

Chicago, July 27.-Judge Landis of
the United States district court, gave
his decision today in the controversy
between the adherents of John Al
exander Dowie and Wilbur Glenn Vol.
iva over property at Zion City.
The court holds that Zion City and
its industries do not belong to Dowie,
that while the contributors Of funds
did not express a formal declaration
of trust, trust was created and
Dowie had no right to treat the prop
erty as his own.
The court refused to appoint Alex
ander Granger receiver for the reason
that Granger made a vow recognizing
Dowie as "a messenger of covenant,
the prophet foretold by Moses, and
Elijah, the restorer, to which / vow
all family ties and obligations and all
relations to human governments shall
be held subordinate
The court said he was not obliged
to repose confidence in a man so con-
stituted that, living in this republic,
he would serenely vow his readiness
at all times to abandon his family and
betray his country.
The court ordered an election on
the third Tuesday of September Of
a general overseer, all members of
church residing in Zion City, male
and female, to have one vote.
He announced that suitable proyis-
ion would be made for Dowie on ac-
count Of his services as trustee.

Of what the attendance for the day

sent the big crowd at the fair grounds
scurrying to shelter. They found il in
the exhibit palaces, the tents of the
sideshoWs, the stock barns and in
short under anything that had a roof
Although the storm was of brief du-
ration such a large quantity of rain
fell that it resulted in making the
grounds a sea of mud.
In spite of this fact a big crowd
came out shortly after noon and the
people seemed to enjoy wading about
in the mud and inspecting the ex-
hibits. They stuck pretty closely,
however, to the cement walks and the
exhibit buildings on the main thor
oughfare, and comparatively small
number of them wandered off in the
direction of the grandstand or stock
barns until the time for the races ar
rived.
Moorhead Day.
Moorhead will be at the fair in full
force tomorrow, for it is Moorhead
day, and the great majority of the
people across the Red are planning to
attend the big show and celebrate.
They will have able assistance from
the citizens of Fargo many of whom
will take advantage of this last chance
to visit the state fair this year.
The crowd will be further augment
ed by those who were deferred by the
unfavorable weather from visiting the
fair today, so that the day should be
the biggest of the week and make
fitting climax.
The fact that it is Saturday will
make it easier for large numbers of
workers TO obtain a half holiday and
do the fair,
According to the programme there
will be a reception to Moorhead citi-

that the emperor displayed exception

Two weeks ago the emperor seemed
under a great mental strain over the
situation, but with parliament off his
hands and the government again free

shoulders.

horses in competition with so old an
association as the one at Winnipeg
but the decision was made that Win
nipeg had been given every courtesy,
and the best way was To stick to the
original dates, and perhaps another
time the Manitoba authorities would
take notice. The result is that Fargo
has had some fourteen trotting and
pacing horses and at least four run
ners who would otherwise have gone
TO Manitoba for the races. and the
Fargo track has proved to be more
attractive than the one to the north.
Winnipeg also has had much bad wea-
ther this week--American day espec-
tally being very rainy. Fargo has
nothing but the best Of wishes for her
northern neighbor, but 1t is probable
that the authorities of the Winnipeg

teous hereafter and cooperate i'm the
spirit that Fargo put forth carly in

>Gday's Race Programme VIII Be Pulled Off
Saturday Afternoon and Saturdays in the Morning

Jupiter Pluvius was not consulted
regarding Fargo day at the state fair
and had a grievance. What he did to
the fair was plenty
1t rained in torrents just before
noon, flooding the grounds and the
race track and making things as mud
dy as possible.
All Fargo business places were clos
ed at noon to allow everybody to take
in the fair this afternoon, but because
Of the rain the attendance was greatly
reduced
Fargo people and the fair manage
ment are greatly disappointed over the
rainfall as it had been planned to
break all records on attendance.
Great Day Saturday.
Saturday will be made the greatest
day of the fair. The weather predic-
ton is for clear weather.
All the races scheduled for this aft
ernoon have been postponed till to-
morrow afternoon and the card or
iginally scheduled for tomorrow will
be pulled off tomorrow morning, be-
ginning at 8 o'clock sharp.
This will give the public the same
races as originally planned and to-
morrow win be grand double pro-
gramme, which will make the occas-
ion the greatest of. the fair.
Everybody who can possibly get to
the grounds tomorrow will no doubt
take advantage of the opportunity for
it will be the greatest event for low
ers of racing that has ever occurred in
this state.
The programme for tomorrow after
noon should be a world beater. The
track will be hardened down by the
morning races and if there is no more
rain tomorrow it will be in better
shape tomorrow afternoon than 1t
would have been today without rain.
All the other events scheduled for
this afternoon go over till tomorrow
and there will be a grand wind-up of
the week.
Every exhibit will be retained in po-
sition and absolutely nothing at the
fair grounds will be disturbed till aft
er IL O'clock Saturday night.
Go to the fair tomorrow if you want
to have the time of your life.
