iowa claims TO nave the H1eSl dSElCul-
tural fair in the world. The fairs of
some other states have bigger attend
ance and some have finer buildings.
Iowa is fast coming to the front IN the
buildings but the exhibit of farm ma
chinery, and live stock and products
Of the farm far exceeds anything
shown elsewhere in America. There is
every year at the Iowa fair more breed
ing cattle than is shown at the inter-
national at Chicago.
There IL; thirty acres of the ground
at the Iowa state fair devoted to
farm machinery and this year this will
not hold the exhibits that are Of
fered. Secretary Simpson is endeav-
oring to make some arrangements to
get additional ground so that no ma
chinery exhibits will be turned away
Exhibitors are being cut down on
their space in order to get all in.
The next legislature will be asked
to do something for the Iowa state
fair in the way of appropriations Tor
permanent buildings for the fair
grounds. The thing mos eeded now
is a new steel amphithe q 4 The last
legislature refused to s he the ap-
preparation because a limited
amount of money a. : 5 disposal. but
it is believed that : .e next legisla-
ture will make t. 8 appropriation.
This year a r e $4,000 admins
tration building : IL add to the ap-
pearance of tb 8 rounds.
The featur s of this years Iowa
state fair will le about as follows:
First-Bigger exhibits and better
exhibits in live stock machinery and
farm products.
Second-More entries for the races,
Third-A horse show and vaude-
vile in the stock pavilion at night.
Fourth-Pains '.Sheridan's Ride" a
spectacular fire works night attraction
in front Of the amphitheater each
night.
In each Of the various lines Of ex-
hibits there have been number OF
additions. For instance in the horse
exhibits there are number OF new
classtfications. The hackney class
which has shown only to a limited
amount heretofore, will this year have
the Pabst stable Of hackneys, which
Is the best in this country. In all
the live stock exhibits there are this
year to be some new breeds that will
attract considerable attention.
There Is trouble In store for the
state house officials because of the
lew monographs that are being in
troduced there. They are used in
stead OF debating to stenograpn Or.
The official simply talks his letters
into phonograph and the stenogra-
pher writes the letters while the pm on-
ograph is talking into her ear. che
trouble is that some OF t1e offi,ia.s
are in the habit of making public ad-
dresses and it bothers them to Keep

SLIDE TO DEATH REALITY.
Randolph Man Tries Circus Feat VIII,
Awful Results.


Randolph Man Tries Circus Fest With
Awful Results.
Hastings, July 27.-In attempting an
exhibition Of "Slide to Death" which
he had seen at q circus Ernest Heath,
son Of a blacksmith at Randolph, Ia.
was fatally burned here Saturday
night
Young Heath's imagination had been
fired by the performance, and he con-
ceived the idea Of reproducing 1t. He
arranged to give the perilous exhibition
in this city. For the purpose he
stretched a heavy wire from the top of.
the town windmill to a fastening In q
neighboring field. Down this his slide
was made. In order to carry out the
original feat In all IT'S details, Heath
had arranged hoop on the wire. the
hoop being soaked in kerosene and set
on fire just before the slide was
made.
Heath mounted the windmill tower.
and just as the match was set to tho
hoop, let himsel go and slid swiftly to-
ward the circle Of fire. To the horror
of the large crowd which had as.
sembled to witness the performaLce
Heath became entangied In the hoop
when he struck 1t. After frantic strlg-
giles he succeeded In extricating hfmself
and finished the slide, himself q mass
of flame. When he reached the ground
he was ablaze from head to foot. His
clothing was torn from him at once
and the fire was extinguished, but ho
had been scorched from the tops Of his
shoes to the crown Of his head. scarcely
any part of his body escaping.

about the car and called for Bryan.
He was only partly dressed, but putting
his head out of the window Of the
state room expressed regret that he
did not know a speech was to be made,
else he would have been up to say a
few words.
w. J. Bryan talked five minutes to a
crowd Of 1000 people at the Rock Is
and depot this morning at 8:45, when
his train passed thru here. He prom
ised he would return to the state and
speak at length during the campaign.
He touched briefly on the tariff, saying
they would get revision as soon as the
democrats got control.
His remarks were of necessity cut
short by the fact that the train stopped
but ten minutes, and considerable of
that time was taken up with cheers by
the crowds.

DENTAL Nomination Are Unknown
on

Chicago, July 27.-Delegates con-
tinued to arrive for the national con-
vention of the independence party,
which will bs called to order at
o'clock this evening. William Ran
dolph Hearst, who is to act as tenn
porary chairman and whose speech
will sound the keynote of the party 3
policy thruout the coming national
campaign, has thus far been the dom
inant factor in the party councils. He
has repeatedly declared he is not =
candidate for any Office and as seek
ing nothing beyond the promotion of
the best interests Of the organization
he has rallied around him.
Thomas L. Hisgen, of Massachusetts.
and Million w. Howard, Of Ft Payne,
Ala, seem to be the leading candi-
dates for the presidential nomination.
Hisgen Is strongly supported by east
ern delegations, while the south and
portions of the west incline towards
Howard. The fight Is open. according
to Hearst, and other men prominent IN
the organization, and will not be dc
tated or influenced in any manner.
Charles r. Walsh, who for a number
of years was secretary Of the demo-
cratic national committee. will be
permanent chairman of the convention.
Among all the delegates who arrived
today, some of whom held their eau
cuses on the train, sentiment was
strong against any fusion with either
the democratic or republican parties.
But one sentiment exists, all Of them
favoring the nominating of ticket OF
their own.
Walsh to BE Chairman.
The national committee Of the In
dependence party met today and de-
cided upon the following officers for
the temporary organization of the con-
vention All of them will unquestiona-
ably be made permanent officials with
the exception of William r. Hearst,
who will be succeeded by Charles A.
Walsh, Of Iowa, as permanent chair
man.
Chairman-William R. Hearst
Secretary-W. A. DeFord.
Sergeant-at- at-arms-Frank Brust.
A motion was presented providing
that the delegates now in the city pre-
pare in advance the platform to be
submitted later to the convention.
This was voted down on the ground
that it was considered desirable that
the entire body of delegates should
have something to say regarding the
formation of the platform II they de-
sired to do so.
When Bryan arrived he was greeted
by a large crowd, and was literally car
ried from the train to the express
truck under the station shed. The
crowd cheered, fought, and pushed their
way thru the jam to. hear his five
minutes speech.
John Temple Graves announced to-
day that he would be an active cam
didate for the presidential nomina-
ton.
