FARGO DAY TOMORROW
Business Houses Will Be Closed in
the Afternoon and Fargo Will
Turn Out Strong.

Tomorrow is Fargo Day and it is
expected to be the biggest day the
fair has yet seen. Judging by the way
in which the people of the city have
been turning out every day of the fair
and the interest which has been mani
tested those who look for a record
breaking attendance will not be dis
appointed Citizens Of the city are
responding Loyalty to the demands
made upon them and are doing all
they can to make the big show a sue
cess by giving it a great patronage
each day; but tomorrow they are eX-
pected to rise in all their strength and
journey to the fair grounds en- masse
for the honor of their home city.
To make this easier the banks and
many Of the merchants of the city
have agreed to give their employees a
half holiday so that clerks, bookkeep-
ers and stenographers will be able to
assist materially in swelling the
numbers.
In anticipation of big day fine
programme has been arranged. One
of the features will be a grand parade
by all the bands on the grounds. The
tLtSDOA HoIdI6 OAHU, the NllOL OdDus
Putnams band, the Decorah College
band and the band from the Wild
West show will participate. Costum-
ed in their different uniforms and
playing martial music they will march
about the grounds and cannot fail to
make an imposing appearance as well
as send forth a swelling volume of
musical sound.
The best race of the entire week has
been reserved for Fargo day. This is
the 2:10> pace and 2:05 trot. The
fastest horses at the fair grounds have
been entered for this race and as they
are all said to be unusually well
matched the contest of speed seems
destined to prove of unusual interest.
The first heat will be called about 1875
p. m.

EXHIBIT
Great Attention Attracted to This De-
partment Because of the Excel
lence of the Display.

After visiting the educational exhi-
bit in the arts and miscellaneous
building at the state fair the North
Dakota taxpayer cannot fail to feel
that he is making a good investment
when he pays his schooIassessment for
here he is given an opportunity to see
what the different educational insti-
tutions are accomplishing for the pub
lie good.
Very fittingly as best showing some
of the most important results accom-
plished in connection with the schools
the food, paint and drug exhibit from
the North Dakota experiment station
has been given a place near the en-
trance to the educational exhibit where
il first attracts the eye of the visi-
tor. Here is shown in graphic for,n
the discoveries which have been made
by Professor Ladd and his assistants
and which are of unusual interest in
view of the present pure food agita-
ton.
81. Everything is here exposed in its
true light. Bottle after bottle contain
ing favorite brands of grape juice, pre-
serves, patent medicines, and alas,
even whisky stand on the shelf plain
ly labelled for exactly what they are
regardless of what their makers may
claim for them. Accompanying each
bottle is a statement of what a chem
ical analysis showed the bottles to
contain. After inspecting the exhibit
one is apt to turn away wiser and a
sadder man, for here it is plainly set
forth that many of the preserves and
grape juices, ordinarily seen on the
shelves of grocery stores are Illegal
because they contain large quantities
of sulphides; while many of the pop
ular brands of whisky are character
lied as not whisky at ALL some being
made up of neutral spirits, others doc
tored and considerable number con-
tanning methyl alcohol
Hanging from the shelves are long
strips of cloth colored in all shades
from yellow to deep red with coal tar

Russian Government Does
Some Bluffing.
TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE
EVERY MEANS Is BEING USED
TO CREATE THE IMPRESSION
THE CRISIS is PASSED so THE
GOVERNMENT CAN CONTINUE
TO NEGOTIATE LOANS.

st. Petersburg, July 26.-The gov
ernment is using every means at it's
disposal to create the impression both
at home and abroad that the crisis
has been successfully passed and that
the probability of general upheaval
has disappeared.
The semi-officIaI press is filled with
comforting assurances that the gov
ernment now has firm hold of the
situation and that the confusion and
the decentralization i'm the counsels Of
the opposition political organizations
produced by the coup detat, render
united action impossible.
Moreover official reports seek to
create the impression that there has
been little response among the masses
to the plan for a general strike as pre-
liminary TO universal uprising
against the application of the old
methods Of government
The governments sudden access of
optimism, however, is In reality trace
able to CONSERVATION over the disas-
trous fan in Russian securities at
home and abroad. One thing which
the government cannot do without
is money, and whatever the response
to the outlawed parliament's appeal
to the people to refuse to any longer
pay taxes, the whole future depends
on the ability Of the government to
continue its foreign loan operations in
the future.
The government can hardly be blind
to the evidence under is nose that it
is living over volcano and that the
danger Of an eruption is far from end
ed.
For the last forty-eight hours the
central committees of the union and
the telegraphers union and the mill
tary committee have been comforting
both separately and jointly with par
liamentary groups, not only on the
question of calling a general strike but
actually on the question of attempting
a counter coup d etat by setting up a

The scripture reading and prayer
was given by r. G. Morse, general sec
retary of the International committee
from New York, now on his way to the
Orient. He prefaced his reading by
saying he had attended % student con-
ferences in Mortified, having been
identified with the movement from its
beginning. This western meeting gave
him vivid realization of the fact that
the Pacific ocean is coming to be the
worlds center.
President Baer could find no better
way of expressing what the conference
stood for than the words of ST. Angus
tines declaration, "A whole Christ for
my saviour, whole Bible for my
staff, a whole church for my fellow
ship, a whole world for my parish"
Various other meetings through the
day insured interesting times for the

FIRE DAMAGE
MAY Be 100000
INJURED LADDERMAN STILL
UNCONSCIOUS
Believed That Fireman Who Fe''
from Fifth-story Window Cam
not Recover from His
Injuries

About 100000 damage was done
by fire. water and smoke by the
fire in which the upper three stories
of the building at 216 to 222 South Los
Angeles street were burned Saturday
night as nearly as can be estimated by
the fire department and the officials OF
the insurance companies.
The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.
All yesterday men were engaged go
ing through the ruins endeavoring to
estimate the damage. During the morn
ing streams of water were played on
the ruins for the purpose of ex-
tinguishing any small flames which
might still remain in the piles of WOOL
en- goods and haberdashery.
AS near as can be estimated Cohn &
Goldwater, the firm which lost the
greater amount in the fire and in whose
building 1t originated, suffered about
$500, 600 loss Their stock was composed
of woolens and haberdashery, and it
has been found that all not destroyed
by fire was injured by the tons of water
which were thrown on the flames.
Other Firms Damaged
The S. j. Smith Manufacturing COM
pany suffered a loss of about $50,000
from smoke and water, while Hawley,
King & Co. suffered a similar loss from
the same causes.
The origin of the fire still remains
a mystery. According to Night Watch
man James Platt the fire started with
some sort of an explosion. Platt states
he was passing the building shortly
before the first alarm was turned in.
He heard a muffled sound above him
as if an explosion had occurred, and

out of a third-story window. He at
once rushed to the nearest box and
turned in an alarm. Others in the
neighborhood claim they also heard
sounds of an explosion and soon after
ward saw flames.
The first alarm was followed at once
by second and third and soon every
available engine in the city was on
the scene. There was some trouble at
first in getting sufficient water, and
for a time four engines stationed on
Main street were unable to pump any
water, owing to the amount which was
being taken from the Los Angeles
street main. This was soon remedied
and powerful streams were at once
turned onto the flames. The firemen
were compelled to go by Judgment only
as there was no way for them to see
into the upper windows and direct the
Great care had been taken on account
of live wires, and had it not been for
the fact that the electric companies
turned off the current and ordered the
wires cut many lives might have been
lost.
Adolph Hermansen, the fireman who
was knocked to the pavement from a
fifth story window by a stream of
water, is at the general hospital and
was said last night to be still uncon-
scious. 1t is not believed he will be
able to survive the frightful injuries
sustained in the fall He suffered
concussion of the spine and number
of internal injuries. He was recently
married and has been living with his
wife at the home of Capt. Mcmahon,
233 West Twenty street.
Chief Lips and the officers of the fire
department have been greatly congrat-
ulated on the manner in which the fire
was handled and the way in which they
kept it from spreading.
