best and biggest fair yer held in the
country, the only drawback being the
weather, which was the worst of the
season in some respects. There were
only two days of the six which were
at all favorable, and the way the PEG.
pie turned out in bad weather. espe,
cially on st. Paul day, was the best
possible evidence of the merit of the
exhibition and the permanence it has
attained.
The attendance for this year was
approximately 10000 less than 1t was
a year ago. This decrease was prin.
cipally on the opening day, the fig
ures for this year being 5000, com
pared with $3.50 for Monday a year
ago. Monday was a gloomy day, and
while the weather did nothing but
threaten, it was sufficiently unfavora-

st. Paul day was the banner day Of

a time, but the citizens turned out in

there being only 1000 less attendance

1t was dark and gloomy Saturday,
but the total attendance of the day
reached fully 10000, as compared with

Although the weather kept down

TO REFUND WARRANTS.
Sioux Falls Is Planning to Get Rid o.
8 5000 Burden.

$4,000 Burden.
The board Of education Of Sioux
Falls is planning to refund $50, 900
worth Of floating warrants which now
are outstanding. When the PROPOSE.
ton first was agitated a few years ago
and something like $500 had been ex-
pended, the bonding company which
was the successful bidder for the pro-
posed %refunding bonds refused to ac-
cept them, claiming that many of the
warrants which it was intended to re-
fund were illegal for the reason that
more warrants were issued each year
than a levy had been made for. Profit
ing by that experience the board Of
education during recent years has
kept within the levy, 80 that all the
present floating warrants are legal. It
is probable that a special election
soon will be called for the purpose Of
voting upon the proposition Of refund
ing the present floating warrants.
