FAIR GROUND
DESERTED

The Interstate fair today looks
like a deserted beehive. 1t GER
tainly resembled a beehive during
the two weeks just passd when the
grounds were crowded from morn
ing till night with exhibitors, sight
seers and racing men.
Sunday morning the exhibits
commenced to go and by nightfall
things were fairly packed and
ready to move away today. Men
were put to work giving the
grounds a general clean up. taking
the paper which Uttered the ground
and with a lot Of other combustible
refuse put into bonfires, as a safe
guard against another such confiag-
ration as was experienced a year
ago. BY clock tonight exhibitors
are expected to have their displays
removed as after that time the fair
management refuses to be respon-
sibl for things lost.
The fair has been marked
success, in point of attendance,
racin and exhibits. The manage
ment expects to be gratified with
a comfortable surplus when the ex-
penditures are footed up.

Pershall Sept. 8, 1906. She charges
James r. with fraud and taking ad-

fits of deep melancholia at times
which are followed by fits Of VIC
lence during which he needs the
services Of an attendant. When he
proposed to her and until he mar
ried her, he concealed the fact
from her and she was led to believe
him a man Of reasonable and nor

Of his condition, she says, a few
days after they were married and
has not since lived with him. She
alleges that upon her discovering
his condition it caused her a great
mental shock from which her
health was threatened and her
peace fmind destroyed. And she
says he is worth $4,000, but does
not ask for any part of it. She
does want her maiden name of

DECREASE I'M
TYPHOID

What is considered a gratifying
decrease in typhoid cases for this
month In Spokane Is reported by
the city health Office. So far but
10 fever cases have been listed and
four Of these are nonresident. Nor
tally from typhoid is slight and
the city's condition in this respect
Is now considered far more salts
factory than at the same date last
year. The fever rate is now normal
and fear of an epidemic has be.
come considerably abated.
DR.. Genoway, city health officer,
has not. however, relaxed his ef-
forts to improve the water supply.
At presnt the department Is cor
respondin with several reliable san
itary engineers with the view to
having one come to Spokane and
make an expert report on the local
situation. 1t has been found neces.
sary to send East for needed ma
terial and the projected analyses of
water have not yet been made.
Probably two weeks will elapse be-
fore the department will be pro-
vided with a report on the condi-
ton Of the water. Longer time
will be required to secure the per-
sonal services of a sanitation ex-
pert, but this need is not consider
ed so pressing now as last month
when typhoid reports made an cpl
demic seem nearly certain. The
majority of these cases, according
to the health department. were also
brought In from the outside.
