The Fair a Great Success.

LAIR IHuTSQdy again uciIiOIl
strated the revival of interest in
district and county fairs that is
being demonstrated throughout
the country. A decade or more
ago the interest seemed to lag,
and many fair organizations be-
came bankrupt and surrendered
their charters. At that time and
for a number of years thereafter
the annual soldiers reunions
of the blue and the gray, both
North and South, seemed to sup
plant interest in the old fashion
ed country fair and In many in
stances efforts to carry on the en-
terprise were abandoned. But
the fair is coming back again and,
in the language Of the circus adj
vertisement, every fair associa-
ton is issuing flaming posters
claiming ''the biggest show on
earth +" 1t may be remarked
here that the West Alabama and
Mississippi Fair Association has
proven financial success at this
meeting and will endeavor to
eclipse all previous efforts the
coming year.
AS usual, the races overshad-
owed every other attraction yes
terday, and proved interesting
throughout. The following was
the result:

FOOT BALL
Last Friday afternoon the
Agriculture and Mechanical
College elevens, met the Mercer
Georgia college elevens on the
gridiron of the fair grounds,
before a crowd amounting to
over three thousand. The Geor-
gians seemed easy for the Mis-
sissippi team as the game result
ed in a score of Is to 0. The A.
and M, boys averaged about
eight pounds more to the man
than the Georgia boys, though
it wasn't the weakness Of the
Mercer team, but the stronger
of the A. e NJ. The A. & M.

less than minute. The Mercer

Mrs. T. w. Belsher.

The news received in Columbus
Friday morning announcing the
death of Mrs. T. w. Belsher,
which occurred in Birmingham
in t h e Davis Sanitarium
at 9 o'clock that day, was a
source of genuine sorrow TO her
numerous friends in this city.
Although her death had been
momentarily expected for several
days, it was no less shocking and
sad to those who knew her and
loved her so well.
Mrs. Belsher was the eldest
daughter of our esteemed towns
man, Mr.. j. l.. Walker, and was
AIRED in this city. She
was very popular among her
associates as a girl and in woman
hood, and numbered her friends
by her acquaintance.
On August %, 1901, she was
united in marriage to Mr.. I. w.
Belsher, a prominent Columbus
boy, now a member of the firm
of j l.. Walker & Co., and their
six years of married life was one
of extreme happiness.
Besides I n e broken hearted
husband, she leaves a father,
two brothers and three sisters,
the latter who feel keenly the
loss they have sustained, mas
much as she had filled the vacant
place caused by the loss of their
mother several years ago.
Her remains arrived in this city
Saturday morning at 6 O'Clock
and were carried to the home of
her sister, Mrs. Nash Broyles,
$40 South Fourth street. The
funeral was held from that resi-
dence at 3 o'clock, S a atur d a y
afternoon and was attended by
a large concourse of sorrowine
friends, while the floral offerings
were many and beautiful. Rev,
w. A. Hewitt officiated, with the
following gentlemen acting as
pail bearers-M srs. B. A.
Weaver, Haley Reeves. Earnest
Beard, Parker Reeves. Lawrence
Gardner, Pope Reeves, Howard
Noland.
To the bereaved family THE
COMMERCIAL extends deepest
sympathy.

VALUE OF WATER STRIKE
AT GREAT SH0SHONE MINE
Owners of 5uIlfrog Property Confident
That They Are Rapidly Approach
ing Sulphide Ore of High
Value

RHYOLITE, Aug. 5.-The Montgomery
Shoshone mine has reached the water
level at a depth of $50 feet which means
that the sulphide zone is being APP
preached. About week ago water began
to appear in the bottom. In the course
of few days it became a serious mat
ter Sunday nine ore buckets were bailed
out, but 1t gained Roadway until
couple of days ago. During the last shift
before work in the shaft had to be
knocked off, seventeen buckets, or 1870
gallons, were bailed out in four hours
The immediate result of this water flow
will be to enable the company to put it's
steam hoist in commission with water
from the shaft.
The companys water from the Amar-
gosa awaits electricity to operate the
pumps before it will be available at the
mine. Settling tanks have been placed
and the final arrangements are being
made to start the machinery. Sinking will
be at once resumed and will be continued
to the 600 if possible, or to such point as
will determine the extent of the supply
before ordering pumps.
The shaft at $50 feet is in the country
rock, twenty-five or thirty feet from the
nearest ledge. At the 600-foot level it is
proposed to crosscut to the ore body.
Here the really important water condi-
tions will be found. In the lodges the
wafer passages actually exist,
Bryce Turner, who has the super
vision of the property, is very we'll
pleased with development. He is satisfied
that he has the water level of this sec
ton. The Shoshone shaft is at least 100
feet deeper than any other in the Bull
frog district. Mr.. Turner, when inter-
viewed after he had followed develop
ments for several days, spoke substan-
TALLY as follows:
This means a lot for the property and
proves something for this entire section.
Water means the approach of sulphide
ore and high values. I look for sulphides
in the lodges at this level
Further Ne continued: I'VE will install
as big pumps as we need gladly, and we
win use the water in our mill and mine
work"
This Shoshone shaft is triple compart-
ment and the operation of the hoist
means also the commission of air drills.

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5-The -dullness Of the
stock market was greatly intensified today.
'tEis proved to be the principal effect of the
new developments which the market had to
tace this morning although there some
active selling at the opening based on them
and at the closing inuence from the weakness
of United States Steel until the decline be-
came precipitate.
There followed little disposition to support
the market just at first and the break In
rfices, in consequence was sharp. The volume
OF the selling proved light and after this spas
medic price readjustment support appeared and
there was some Subsequent recovery.
During the noon hour the total transactions
were less than 1000 shares Of all stocks, a rate
OF lethargy rarely seen at the stock ex-
change.
Although the levying of maximum penalties
on the Standard Oil company on the convic-
tions for rebating had been discussed as a pos
sblity and had figured in the speculation on
Friday, the actual sentence of the court was
not known in Wall street until Sunday in time
to afford opportunity for market operations
based on it. The sentimental effect OF the in
cident increased by the publication Mon
day of the report of the commissioner of cor
pcrations arraigning the Standard Oil COM
pany for its business methods and its exorbi-
tant profits
The effect was to revive the conviction of the
determination Of the federal administration to
Iush the pursuit of corporations with undated
vIgor. Saturdays bank statement offered
small encouragement for more cheerful views
of the money outlook
1t is expected that the loss on cash of last
week the known movements of money,
which failed of reflection in the bank state
hient, will be thrown over into this week s
statement. Reports from the interior are of a
sustained demand for money, which is likely
to increase at an early date with the Begin
ling of the marketing of the crops.
Traffic officials of the railroads report the
merchandise movement well kept UP, the move
ment of grain thus far is reported disappoint-
ingly small. A number of net earnings or rail-
and some of the stocks of the companies re-
porting sufficiently sharp declines.

CHICAGO GRAIN
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. SAN increase in the visi-
BILE supply of grain and primary receipts
caused a decline of almost &c in the price of
wheat today.
At the close the September delivery showed a
net loss of 1hQ1ssc. Corn was up Aqasc. oats
were q shade higher and provisions were 21RQ
TIC lower.
The wheat market opened weak because of
favorable weather In the northwest of the
growing crop.
Within the first fifteen minutes of trading
prices advanced moderately in sympathy with
q sharp upturn in oats, but the stronger tone
sc on gave way to renewed weakness which en-
dured for the remainder of the session.
The heavy tone was due largely to the
rapidly increasing receipts of new wheat al
though a severe slump in oats added to the
weakness The market closed weak and close
to the lowest point. September opened A4hc
lower to 917s@92Bc, advanced to 92ls492fsc and
then declined to 9O7sc. The close was at slq
91hc.
The market was strong early in the day,
but later prices eased off and the greater part
o. the gain was lost Continued light receipts
and small contract stocks rendered the mar
ket sensitive.
The break in oats brought out liberal real
iz'ng sales during the last half of the ses-
SIGN The market closed steady. september
ouened unchanged to &c lower at 54ls@547sc
advanced to 55%c and closed at 551s455hc
Intense excitement marked the opening OF
the oats market and first prices showed sharp
advances. Before trading commenced the pit
was overlooking with traders and brokers VINO
had orders to buy at the marekt price. The
filling OF these orders sent prices up more than
1c above the close of Saturday.
The buying was led by a number or Dulls,
who have been giving the market active sup
port during the last few weeks. Reports con-
GO rning the crop were for the greater part as
d;scouraging as heretofore although the Ohio
re rort did not show as great deterioration our
ing July as had been generally expected.
The condition was placed at 70 compared
with 70 one month ago. The market became
very weak late in the day on profit taking
