SOME FAIR EXHIBITS Many Pretty Booths In the
 Trades Tent IA CUTE ALFALFA HOUSE
Unique Exhibit by the Bart lett-Heard Company--Fine Showing In Motor Supplies. Indian Blankets and Bas- kets.-And Other Things.

One of the exhibition tents at the fair which has not been visited by as large crowds as the interesting eX- hibits it contains would seem to war rant, is the first big tent at the eX- treme southend of the grounds, which houses the trades exhibits. One req son is that it is a little out of the way of direct travel, as the route followed by the largest crowds leads from the gates to the grand stand, with little side excursions up and down the line.
 The tent is devoted to a miscellany of interesting exhibits and should not be overlooked by any visitor at Ari- zona's great fair.
 over in an eastern corner of the big tent is a cute little house built en- tirely of alfalfa. with a roof of corn which was planted in August. The house, which is eleven and a half feet by sixteen and a half. was designed by Mrs. Dwight B. Heard and contains the exhibit of the Bartlett Heard Land and Cattle company. Much of the work of construction was done by MT. and Mrs. Heard.
 The exterior of the house is made of the finest alfalfa compressed into bales. while cornstalks many feet in length form a sloping roof. their gold en tassels falling over the caves. The doorway is Ornamented with straight lines of red peppers on each side of which are the letters "B'" and I'll. '' also done in red peppers. With the single exception of the peppers. every thing in the construction of the house and all of the interior exhibits were grown on the Bartlett-Heard ranch. some seven miles on the other side of the Salt river
 This ranch of seven thousand acres is the finest in the Salt River valley and the largest alfalfa ranch in the territory. Its products are well repre- scented by the exhibits in the house.
 The little house contains but one room, but is very cosy, nevertheless. It would make a fine den for bache- Tor who did not smoke-if there are any. Two goOd-sized windows at either end are framed with ears of corn with the husks pulled back This corn was planted in August and has already come to maturity, showing as well as anything else the productive quality of the soil in the valley.

Tarry there awhile, then look for a more extended de- scription later. Apply this same gospel to the trades exhibit in the big tent, for it fits the whole show.

 The band was out of course and furnished some jollity for the morn ing hours as it does each day both forenoon and afternoon.
 The Afternoon.
 The racing program was not quite as long yesterday afternoon. There were just as many events but they required fewer heats and were more easily disposed of. No records were broken except the various horses which broke their own former rec ords, but there was one very lively race in which Citation, the sensa- tional horse which won fame on the grand circuit this year, went a mile in 2:05. The track record in a pac- ing race was made by Argot Boy last year. 2:O3A, that being the fastest mile ever paced in a race west of the Mississippi at that time.
 In some of the other races there was fine exhibition work and two or

GOVERNMENT |. TURNED DOWN By the United States Court
 of Appeals 'A REHEARING IS DENIED
The Case of the Big Standard Oil Fine It is Announced Will Be Carried to Court of Last Resort-Judge Lan- dis Was too Explicit.

Chicago. Nov. 10.-The governments petition for a rehearing of the case in which the United States circuit court of appeals reversed the trial court in lining the Standard oil company of Indiana $29.240, 900 for alleged relating was denied in the court of appeals to- day. It was authoritatively stated that the government will now attempt to bring the whole matter before the su- preme court on a writ of certiorari
 In everything the petition the court said: ''The petition for a rehearing is
 respecting the correctness of the testi- mony as to that portion of the opinion that related to the trial judges state

 unable to indulge in a presumption that in this case the defendant Wa convicted of it's virgin offense the
 point of the petition being that in the use of the word defendant in connec-

Citation Paced a Mile In 205 and the Autos Cut
 That Record In Half
Airships Model ConductToday Will Be Exciting One. Automobile Races and Speed Exhibtons--One Good Horse Race-Go Early and See the Live Stock and De- partment Exhibits--Fireworks Tonight

At least 2,00O more people visited the fair grounds yesterday than on Monday, which according to adapted mathematics means that there was at least 1000 times as much pleasure experienced by the public as on the day before. The weather was even better than on Monday, though there seemed to be no difference in the weather until the flight of the air ship, when it was observed that the upper air currents were more reg ular. Knabenshue nor any other man can ever make a more successful flight with a dirigible than he did yesterday, even if they invent better machines.
 The forenoon was given over to a more careful inspection of the ex- hibits than the day before and many got out early to take a look around. Still the main crowd is slow to ap- preciate the fact that the industrial features of the fair can be better seen and appreciated in the forenoon than in the afternoon. Those who can possibly do so are urged to spend at least one day on the grounds from early morning. The Woman's build ing with the art, educational, culin ary and textile divisions is some thing no educated man should over look. Nor should any woman pass it by even though she lacks the cru dition necessary for pounding sand in a hole. Mrs. W. c. Foster and her battalion of assistants in that build ing as well as the educational corps, did not arrange the exhibits just to be killing time. They were placed there to look at and even the wisest can pick up a valuable idea now and then.
 The agricultural department, too, deserves some batting on the back It is not yet as big and as good as it ought to be, but it is so much

 The first race called was the three year-old trot, two in three, for a purse of $500, and was won by Sadly Boydello, a bay lilly owned by " Holding and driven by Johnson. The grand stand was with Johnson from the start as he is a colored man who has played the game here bravely ever since the fair was organized and has done his best but has generally been on the losing sulky. He earned and received yesterday the plaudits of the grand stand, taking both heats easily.
 The entries were. in the order of their starting, Sadly Bonito. owned by Phil Ensign and driven by Crabb; Royal VastO. owned and driven by w. N.

Starr and driven by Schumaker.
 Sadly Boydello got the pole soon after the start and passed the quar- ter in :3S. She had a long lead at the half in 1:14. the field stretching back nearly to the quarter pole. Two or three horses hurried up at the three quarter pole, which Sady pass ed in 1853 and finished in 2:34IR Sadly Bonita, Royal Vasto and Elect wood, in order. not far behind. Del fino came in 200 yards behind and Hallie Oh So was so far in the rear she was withdrawn before the next heat.

Royal VastO won second place at the quar- ter, Sadly Bonita close behind and Delfino far in the rear.

 The 2:04 Pace for 5000.
 This was the big harness event of the day and it was hoped that Cita- ton would break the track record but she failed to do it, though she gave a splendid performance. The entries in the order of the start were Copa de Ora, owned by Mrs. l.. G. Bonfilio and driven by Durfee: Citation, own ed and driven by Dick McMahon and McO. D.. owned by Mir. Ramsey of Riverside. Cal. and driven by F.. Ward Citation was first, Copa de Ora was second and McO. D. third in all three heats.
 In the first heat all kept their po- sitions to the quarter in :33. Cita- ton passed Copa on the back stretch, making the half in 1:O5. Copa kept close up but Me was dragging at the third pole, which was passed in 1:37. Citation and Copa came down the stretch like a telegram and finished close with McO. D. about 75 yards behind. The last half was made in 1:01H.
 In the second heat the quarter was passed in starting order in :32. Both the other horses crowded Citation hard as she passed the half in 1:04A and at the third pole in 1:3615. The finish was a beautiful show of speed for all of them. Copa de Ora was only a sulky length behind Citation and McO. D. was beating the wind behind him.
 In the third heat COpa de Ora and McO. D. gradually lessened Citations start clear to the third pole. where they were only about a sulky length behind. the quarters being :31R,

years. He was buried in the Leaven-

to the last resting place. He leaves
a wife and brother.
MIR. Abbott was young man of ex-
cellent moral character with notions of
propriety which governed his inter
course with his fellow men, we say
this from personal knowledge, having
had some slight business relations with
him in which his character unfolded
itself.
J. J. Abbott and wife from Mt.
Auburn, Iowa, father and mother of
the deceased, arrived just before the
death of his son. A. L. Mitchell, of
Eagle creek, is an uncle OF the de-
ceased, from whom we learned that

county, Iowa, in 1879.

STATE NEWS ITEMS

The Missouri River Valley is one of
the most successful hog sections of
the United States, and corn has always
been the basis of this industry. Today
one of the most popular stock-fatten-
ing foods in the Missouri river region is
a mixture of alfalfa meal and sugar
beet pulp, which is produced in Colo
rado. Advices recently received from
that state, show that numerous new
mills are being erected, and certainly
the Pacific Northwest should give this
industry every possible encouragement,
and this is particularly true since the
great international concerns like Swift
& Company and others have decided
to locate upon the Pacific coast, and
they are now spending millions Of dol
lars in building their plants at Portland.
A good reliable fattening food equal
to corn would make this section Of the
United States the very richest portion
of our great Republic.

Methodist Episcopal church at The
Dalles, Ore, died Sunday morning at
the Gilchrist hospital in Wenatchee.
He came to Wenatchee to attend
the Columbia river conference and
while here he became seriously i'll from
something he had eaten. An operation
performed to save his life at first was
thought to be successful and hopes of
recovery were entertained, but he died
at 5 o'clock. Mr.. Kufus was well
known throughout central Washington,
having been pastor of the M. E. church
in Wenatchee for four years, and while
there took an active part in the fight
against the liquor trafc, which resulted
in the closing of saloons on Sunday, the
closing up of gambling and the abol-
ishment of the restricted district.
About a year ago he was appointed
minister at The Dalles and at the last
session of the conference, in this city,
he was assigned to the same pastorate.

TOO MUCH OF A lfSSNESS"
Doctor Diagnoses American Nervousness
With New World

Physical examinations Of 10000
New York men from all walks of life
during the last FIVE years have con-
vinced DR.. Louis R. Welzmiller physi-
cal director Of the west side branch of
the Young Mems Christian Association
that the American men are deterior-
ating. The caase, as he sees it, is the
abnormal lives Americans are leading
and the growth Of a belief in drugs as
a substitute for normal life.
we are rapidly becoming a race Of
neurasthenics," said Dr.. Welzmiller,
just as Germany is developing race
of myopes. In Germany the spread
of near-sightedness is attributed to the
strain OF German script and German
type, with its hair lines and curves.
In America, l firmly believe that the
fearful growth of neurasthenia is due
to what might be called our struggle
for 'lessness.'
" Less is the great word today in
our life. We want seedless oranges,
carriages, smokeless powder,
rifles. stairless houses, and
walkless means Of getting to and from
business. Business demands tireless,
restless emery. And in our striving to
get rid of every thing which impedes
our speed, from the pits of fruit to the
plodding horse, we are also gaining for
restless lives of sleepless
nights and healthless days. AS our
speed becomes greater our physical
and nervous force becomes less, our
ability to resist disease is less; we are
less of good animal and more of the
speed eccentric. ."-Washington Post.
