Situation Is Serious.

The order given to all plain clothes
men to give their whole attention to pa
trolling the streets indicates the serious
ness of the situation. The numerous
attacks on children and the resulting
morbidness developed by investigation of
the cases, the police think, may develop
a homicidaI mania and make itself mani
fest in further attacks and assaults.
Aninnocent man, Louis Conconela. mis-
taken by the mob as the man it was
hunting was beaten so badly yesterday
that he will probably die.
George Kestner, a bookbinder is in
the hospital suffering from injuries re-
ceived at the hands of a mob which
tore his clothes from his back and was
only saved from being hanged to a lamp
post by the timely arrival of the police
reserves. The police believe that Kest-
ner attempted no overt act against the
two children whom he is accused of try
ing to assault.

At a meeting of the executive board
of the Marshall County Fair associa-
ton, held Tuesday afternoon, it was
decided to furnish season tickets, good
for the entire five days of the fair at
the nominal price of Is cents The
tickets will be Notwithstanding, how
ever, and in buying them the purchaser
will not be- allowed to leave the
grounds after once presenting the
ticket for a days admission.
Mr.. P. F. Arney, of the board, sug-
gested a. plan for season tickets at 81
each, good for readmission during q
single day, but the plan did mot meet
with favor. Mr.. Arney thought that If
patron wanted Il, spend the forenoon
at the fair, go home to dinner, and
then return in the afternoon, he should
be given the privilege. The other.
members Of the board, however.
thought the better. plan to reduce the
cost of the season tickets % cents,
and make them good for just one adj
mission in a single day.
Will Paint Stock Barns.
It was also decided Tuesday after.
noon to paint the horse and cattle
barns, and this will be done at once.
The agricultural building has been
completed and painted, and makes a
very pretty appearance.

Tuesday September II, will be vet
Grams day at the fair, and on that date
every old soldier, together with his
wife, II he has one, and every soldiers
widow in the county will be admitted

biggest veterans reunion Marshall
county could possibly observe.
Want Big Fruit Exhibit.
The management of the fair and SUI
perintendent T. p. Low, of the fruit
displays are most anxious that the
farmers make a creditable showing in
their exhibits of fruits in the agricul-
tural hall. The season has been I'M
favorable for many kinds of fruits, as
all know, and fol-, this reason an es-
pecial effort will have to be made by
the fruit growers In order to make a
creditable showing. AS fine, fruits are
ore of the big resources of the county,
thG farmers will do well to place on
exhibition everything in this line that
visitors from abroad may be enabled
to see just what the fertile soil of
Marshall county produces in the fruit
line.
