Livingston, Aug. 26-In the light of
Monday mornings sunshine, racing
enthusiasts can say that Sundays cold
wet weather was just what was need

however, as if the weather had again
settled it's gloom upon the prospects
Of successful fair and races. Sun
days rain put the track in excellent
shape, and this morning there is not
a cloud left in the sky from yester-
days threatening weather. All is &C,
tivity and hustle with the coming OF
visitors for the fair, and with the ex-
ira hustle the merchants and delivery
men are making preparatory to clos.
ing their shops for the afternoon
races. Every afternoon for the week
will be taken by business houses and
banks as a holiday, and the town will
go out to the fair grounds. The peo
pie realize what a treat the week CON
tains in the number of fine races that
will be pulled off at the track. Inter
est is certainly alive and the attend
ance promises to be the greatest ever
seen at any fair in Livingston.

the surrounding country of mountains,
lakes and wilderness as far as the
eye can see. A trip was also taken

Sylvan Fair Goes to Pillager.

Brainerd Dispatch: A hearing
was held before Judge McClenahan
in Bemidji yesterday on a petition
for an injunction restraining w. B.
Jones and E. P. Bacon as president
and secretary of the society which
has heretofore held fairs at Sylvan
from removing it to Pillager.
The reasons alleged in the COM
plant were that the plaintiffs were
in business in Sylvan and that it
would cost them loss of business
and inconvenience in placing exhib-
it's in the fair if it were moved.
The defense claimed that there were
many more farmers residing around
Pillager and that it was the proper
place for the fair. After hearing
the arguments Judge McClenahan
refused to grant the injunction and
preparations will be continued for
the fair at Pillager on the 4th and
5th of October.

Might Have W0rkhouse,

Grand Forks Herald: States
Attorney Wineman declared yester-
day that the murder and suicide at
Larimore was another convincing
argument in favor of a county work
house.
Had Walch been employed at
hard labor during the term of over
five months he spent in jail he would
not have had an opportunity to
brood over his wrongs, real or
imaginary" said the states attorney
yesterday. There is no question in
my mind that the system under
which a man is kept in jail without
plenty of employment is altogether
wrong and instead of reforming
criminals makes them worse in many
cases. Walch put in great share
of his time in idleness and his letters
show what a wretched frame of mind
he was in. A workhouse should be
established without delay in Grand
Forks county," ~

Wonder Who This Was.

Park Rapids Enterprise: A man
walked into the depot one afternoon
leading a dog and carrying an over
coat on his arm. The coat he threw
over the baLk of the seat and the
dog he tied fast. When the even
ing passenger arrived he boarded it
leaving both the coat and dog. At
Bemidji he telephoned back to
Akeley that he had left,a coat and
dog in the gentleman's waiting
room and wanted them expressed
to him. After. some investigating
the articles were located here. A
man as forgetful as that should tie
his property to himself and not to
waiting room benches.
