Holmes" Those who object TO Mr..
Standings mannerisms were prepared
to find in his portrayal of the detec-
tive a buoyancy Of spirit and a debo-
nair air entirely foreign to the popular
conception of the role. Instead We
found the serious, painstaking, delib-
crate and reflective Characterization
that set the pitch for a really admir-
able performance.
Everyone was glad TO welcome the re-
turn of George CASTOR and Alice But
Ter to Washington. Miss Butler had
only two bits while AIR. CASTOR appeared

City and vicinity met in the parlors
of the Business Mems club Tuesday
afternoon and talked over the prop
osltion Of creating a county fair or
ganization and committees were APP
pointed at the close Of the meeting
to push the matter to completion.
i. M.sHumphrey was elected chair
man and j.. X. Hull, secretary. No
definite site for the fair grounds was
chosen, this being left in the hands
Of a committee to the extent of its
looking up suitable properties that
might serve the purpose desired.
1t was suggested that shares could
be sold at $40 a piece to finance the
project and the idea seemed to meet
with general approval. Many Of
those present, expressed themselves
as being quite optimistic over the
outlook for a fair organization, and
1T is believed that if everyone takes
hold, the much desired result can be
brought about.
Following is the personel Of the
committees:
Site-F. L. Alderman, John c.
Haines, Pete Sweeney.
Buildings-Fred Holcomb, H. E.
Swander, L. S. Ryther.
Permanent Organization George
P. Bennett, j. X. Hull, Thos. Hale.
All committees are requested to be
be ready to report at the next meet
ing which will be held in the Bust
ness Mems club next Tuesday af-
ternoon at three O'Clock
All interested in the movement are
cordially invited to attend and take
part in the proceedings.
