NEW FACILITIES AT STATE FAIR
Spur Track Run Into Grounds and Unloading Accommoda
tons InSt( I'd for Exhibitors.

The management Of the state fair
to be held at Huron, Sept. 9-13, is rap
idly completing arrangements for this
years exhibition, and everything in
dicates that this will be the greatest
fair ever held in South Dakota. With
fair weather it is expected that the
attendance will be double that Of any
previous year. Many improvements
have been made in the buildings and
grounds, and one that will be espe-
cially appreciated by exhibitors is
the spur track being built into the
grounds by the Chicago & Northwest
ern road. The company is also build
ing a large unloading platform and
also stock chutes for the unloading
Of stock. A switch engine will be
furnished for the use of exhibitors to
assist in the loading and unloading Of
exhibits. In past years exhibitors
have been hampered by the absence
Of these facilities, and it is expected
that these improvements will attract
many who have in previous years
passed up the South Dakota state fair.

A Story Told Of Abraham Lincoln's
Visit to Richmond.
The day after the great fire follow
ing the fall Of Richmond, Lincoln,
with a small bodyguard, walked
through the streets of the charred city.
AS he approached the corner occupied
by Gen. Pickett's residence he direct

tonishment ran two steps at time
up to the door and raped. The serv.
ants had fed. The baby BRIDE had
never seen President Lincoln, but she
had read his letter to her husband and
from it had learned to hold in the
highest esteem the great Northern
President. With her baby in her arms
she opened the door, says The World
To-Day, and looked UP at the tall
gaunt man with the sad face and I'm.
couth, ways.
Without a word Of explanation he
asked:
SIS George Pickett about ?"
To hear the husbands name berefi
OF its title by q X ankee at that mo-
ment was almost the limit, especially
as a rumor had f1oated about Rich
mond concerning the fate which await
ed the leaders Of the confederacy.
With all the proud dignity she
could command the baby bride re.
piled:
Gen. Pickett is not; at hons. :,
The stranger seemed disappointed
and as he turned to go remarked go:
Il am Abraham Lincoln, an old
friend Of Georges
! Not President Lincoln!" Mrs. Pick
EFT exclaimed. The tall man shook his
head, repeating:
mo. Just Abraham Lincoln, George
Pickett's old friend"
Following the instinct promptings
of the heart which still governs her,
the baby bride thrust her baby boy
into the arms of the gaunt Yankee, as
her best effort to express her venera.

Il am George Pickett's wife and this

Protest at Pierre.
The United States and American

The United States company, in a
written protest, charges the board with
arbitrarily, enormously, without evil
dence and in violation of the constitu-
ton raising the assessed valuation of
that company's property more than
100 per cent The company demands
that it's statement of wholly interstate

The American Express representa-

the action of the board, but no written
protest was filed. While the represent
ative of the United States company
would not say whether the assessment
would be attacked in the courts, the
complaint would indicate such action.
