An Astonished King.

King Louis Of Bavaria was much
annoyed on one occasion when the sol
der on guard at the palace gates neg
lected to present arms. The truth
was, the soldier did not know his maj
esty by sight. why don't you pre-
sent armsT' the latter asked angrily.
Don't you know to whom you are in
debted for your daily bread" The
sentry glared angrily at the king, and,
imagining him to be the army baker,
replied: $50 you are the miserable son
of baker who furnishes the soldiers
with bread, are you? Well, l should
like to have you by yourself in some
quiet place. I'd spread your ungainly
anatomy over three kingdoms! I'd

EnqIish Royal Marriages.

The English royal marriage act is
one Of the time honored absurdities
which survive in spite of common
sense and enlightened public opinion.
BY it the matrimonial choice of the
English princes is practically restrict
ed to the swarms of 'the German
hive" and the proverbially handsome
English women are forbidden. The
legal prohibition was enacted in 1772
at the persistent command Of George
III, he 'being thereunto melted"
first, by the marriage in 1776 of his
brother, the Duke of Gloster, to the
Countess Waldegrave Maria Wal
pole, and, second, by the taking to
wife by a young brother, the Duke
of Cumberland, in III, of the widow
Of Colonel Christopher Horton.
The first provision of the act forbids
to the descendants of George II. mat
rimony without the consent of the
crown under the great seal, necessary
exception being made to cover the
marriages of princesses abroad. The
second provision has been the especial
mark of raillery. 1t enables marriage
by one above the age Of twenty-five
against the will of the crown under
certain conditions. - Westminster Ga

Lewis Carroll, the author Of alice
In Wonderland" was fond Of puzzling
his friends with curious problems. One
Of them was the question, When does
the day begin2 If a man could travel
around the world so fast that the sun
would always be directly above his
head. and If he were to start travelling
at midnight on Tuesday then in TWEEN
ty-four hours he would return to his
original point of departure and would
find that the day was now called We'd
nesday. At what point Of his journey
would the day change it's name? The
difficulty Of answering this apparently
simple question has cast a gloom over
many a pleasant party.
Another problem was as follows: A
rope is hung over a wheel fixed to the
roof of a building. At one end of the
rope a weight is fixed, which exactly
counterbalances a monkey which is
hanging on the other end Suppose
that the monkey begins to climb the
rope. What win be the result? 1t is
very curious the different views taken
by good mathematician One says
the weight goes up with increasing We
locity, others say that 1t goes up at
the same rate as the monkey, while
another says it goes down.

100000 LIVESTOCK PAVILION.

It is with much pride that the State
Fair management will open to the pub
lie in September what it has every
reason to believe is the finest livestock
pavilion in the world While some
what similar to other great State Fair
paviliOns, it is quite different from any
of them and combines the good points
of all of them. 1t will be 212 feet wide
and 400 feet long, with an interior
arena measuring 116 by 300 feet
There win be an entrance to the arena
at either end, having direct connec-
ton with the horse and cattle barns
A fifteen-foot promenade will extend
entirely around the outside Of the are
ma. The main entrances are arranged
in four large towers, one at each cor
ner Of the building, to give an album
dance Of space for entrance and exit.
The construction is of the most per-
manent character, being largely con-
crete and steel. All horses and cattle
will be exhibited in this building, a
great improvement over the hot, dusty
show rings and the inconvenient stuffy
tents used in the past.

CONVENTIONS AND EXCURSIONS.

"A new special committee has been
created this year by the State Fair
management known as the Committee
ON Excursions and Conventions, with
Mr.. Smith r. Bailey as chairman. Al
ready a number of annual meetings
for state organizations have been Sc
cured, including the Kentucky Beef
Cattle Association, the Kentucky Dairy
Cattle Club. the Swine Breeders AS
ISOLATION, the State Berkshire Associa-
ton, the state Horticultural Society,
the Good Roads Association and varI-
Gus others of a kindred nature.
A suitable convention hall will be
provided underneath the grandstand
with every accommodation and con-
venience possible for the visiting or
CARNATIONS. Chairman Bailey hopes
to have many other meetings listed
before the opening day and is arrang-
ing to have a large number of excur-
sion trains from all sections Of the
state. In other words, it is his inten-
ton to make it a convention week
and the banner week in the history of
the Falls City for the largest number
OF out-of-town visitors.

WEBER'S BAND

Weber's Prize Band of America, one
of the finest concert organizations in
the West, will furnish the music for
the State Fair. Each of Weber's pro-
grams will be three hours long and be
made up entirely of popular music. A
number Of soloists will be heard. Mr.
Weber has felt the public pulse long
enough TO know about what is wanted;
add to this a band that is unsurpassed
anywhere, his own personality and
splendid leading powers, soloists of
known ability and it is hard to see
how the State Fair management could
have secured a bigger attraction in
the way Of band.

THE HORSE SHOW AT
KENTUCKY STATE FAIR

With the largest prizes ever offered
for horses at a Kentucky Fair, the
greatest exhibit Of equine flesh in the
history of the Blue Grass State is con-
fidently expected. For the first time
exhibitors and spectators will have the
pleasure of seeing first-class horse
show in a large, commodious arena
completely under shelter, without feel
ing the effect of the burning sun or
being exposed to damp and chilly
weather and undergoing the inconve.
nience of a weather-soaked show ring.

THE NEW STATE FAIR GROUNDS.

The new Kentucky State Fair
grounds, where the 1908 annual exhibit
ton will be held, is easily one Of the
most modernly arranged and best
equipped in the country. From an aes-
4hetic point of view the graceful lines
of the buildings harmonic with the
surrounding topography. The car
lines will extend into the grounds so
that one may step directly from the
car to the entrance of the Fair. An
imposing archway will extend over the
main driveway at the entrance. The
driveway, 100 feet in width, leads d.
rectly to the Livestock Pavilion. Grass
plots with rows of trees will subdivide
this driveway and lines Of hedges will
border it on the sides. In front Of the
Livestock Pavilion will De an attrac-
tive fountain located in the center Of
large flower bed designs.
The racetrack and grandstand are
located in the eastern part of the
grounds some 600 feet from the pavil-
ion. The surface Of the track has been
finished with exceptionally fine clay.
The stables and cooling shed for
horses are located just south Of the
track The architecture of all the
buildings will be along the lines of the
Spanish Mission style, with white
sides and red tile roofs. This class
and style of architecture will harmon
ize with the undulating grounds and
graceful driveways which are bordered
with hedges and plants and give it a
most pleasing appearance.

REMINDER OF YE OLOEN DAYS
TWO WAGONS DRAWN BY THREE
YOkES OF OXEN HAUL
ING GOODS.

A scene that reminded one OF
the olden days in this section of the
country when the sturdy pioneer
treked II across the prairie with
his team of oxen, sometimes one
yoke and sometimes three yokes to
seek for himself and family a suit
able spot on which to build home
was seen on the streets yesterday
afternoon when merchant of Poole
more two teams of oxen OF three
yokes each to haul goods from there
there. The sound of Gee Buck and
Ball" and Haw Buck and Blll,"
coupled with the cracking of a whip
in the hands of the driver who was
either sitting on his wagon Of mer-
chandise OF walking beside his team.
Several of the older citizens were
heard to remark, THAT Is how
came to this country in years gone
by, or the first team ever drove,
was yoke of oxen and used to haul
saw logs to the mill to hyce logs
cut SO that father could build a
house for US.
Necessity has compelled many of
the farmers OF this section OF the
country to go back to the primeval
mode of transportation on account
OF the bad conditions OF the roads
which have been cut up since the
heavy rain of the past three months.
one standing on the corner OF
North Washington and West Broad
way yesterday afternoon saw both
the modern vehicle, the automobile
/ spinning over the street and the old
est vehicle, the OK wagon, both go
ing their way and on business.
The lesson to draw from the see
ing of the OK team wagon loaded
with goods, Is that this section Of
the country needs good roads, and
must have good roads before the
codntry can be developed as II
should be. With plenty of road max
ing rock found at our door, and the
country most level with a good soil
the art OF building roads should be
practised and the people should get
busy.

INDIAN TERRITORY ILLUMlNAT.
ING CO. LAYING MUCH PIPE
A TENTACLE OF THE OCTOPUS
owns Every Large Gas Well and Can
Regulate the Production ana
Price at viii, Through Sub
sidiary Concerns.

Muskogee, Okla, June l6-There
no longer seems to be the slightest
doubt but what the Standard oil
company, acting through its subsi.
diary companies, has secured control
of the gas output, and the gas pipe
lines of oklahoma, just as has been
done In the gas producing states OF
the east.
The Standard is operating in this
state under the name of the Indian
Territory Illuminating company. This
is the company which many years ago
secured a blanket oil and gas lease
on the whole of the Usage nation and
was made to relinquish all but CO..
600 acres containing the best of the
oil and gas producing sections on
which some development had been
done. This company owns ana con
trolls the principal gas production in
the state.
There were two other large gas
producing companies, the Cauey River
company and the Devonian company.
These two companies had built most
OF the great gas pipe line system that
is rapidly covering the state with "A
network of pipe. These companies
in most cases piped the gas to city
and there sold it at the city limits to
company that had a gas franchise
/ in the city. Only in some instances
were they interested in the distribu
tion of gas to retail consumers.
The Standard saw in these two com
panies possible competition in the
production OF gas and its distribution
in pipe lines, so through the lllumi
mating company of the Usage nation
it proceeded TO acquire a controlling
interest in these two companies. Tn,
Illuminating company owned som'
pipe lines already. Ii now controls
all of them except those of loca
character. This makes a system 81
large and supplying most of the cities
OF any size that it would be imprac
teal for any other system to ge
enough consumers to pay for building
another. This makes 1t easy for tn,
Standard to buy up other gas field
where the production assumes an!
proportions.
The Oklahoma law prohibits pipinI
gas out of the state. The Standar,
can buy gas wells and plug them "a
and regulate the production as
needs it. This it has successfully
done in other states. This places tn
consumer OF gas absolutely at tn
mercy Of the Standard except in K
calities where a local production an
local franchise can be secured, an
two natural gas services in the sam
town are not usually profitable.

A VERSATILE COMPANY.
Bell Boy Company Makes Good in
Melo Drama.

"SlO c'aIHd'
The versatility of the Bell boy com
pany was demonstrated last night, as
well as the cleyerness OF Miss Ella
Calvin, the leading lady. The jump
from musical comedy of a high order
TO heavy melodrama is almost llse
jumping from the ridiculous TO the
sublime, yet that is what the company
did. The opera house was well filled
with patrons and those who attended
were more than repaid. The company
seems to be as much at home playing
heavy melodrama as singing choruseS
and late ballads.
Miss Ella Calvin as Bob the news
boy, oould not be improved upon in
the least, and James Grady as Hungry
Higgins, plain every day crook, was
OF the best, and ranks Mr.. Grady as
an actor Of no mean ability. The
support given the principals was with
out flaw, and the good patronage
received was deserved.
Tonight the company goes back to
musical comedy and Two Jolly Com
panions" will be the bill, while tomor-
row night the grand old western com
edy drama M liss," made famous by
Annie Pixley under the new name a
Wild Rose will be played with Miss
Calvin taking the part OF Miss.
