How to Get Votes
New Fair Grounds

The new Hand County Fair build
ings look good from the railroad on
the south of the grounds or from
the w agon road on the north. The
Association, of course, will not be
able to complete all building this
year, but what has been done is not
of the customary cheap shed kind of
buildings by any means.
The people need have no fear of
going into the grand stand. 1t is
made well, of big timbers, and an
chored in cement.
The track is first class one of
regulation half mile distance and
sloping turns. Driving and harrow
ing will make it one of the best in
the state.
Fencing, sheds, outbuildings, etc.,
are all substantial, and give the ap-
pearance of permanency.
AS the association purchased the
ground, it is to be hoped that
this prominent location between the
two towns will be the permanent
home of the Hand County Fair, to
be improved with all necessary con-
veniences as time goes on.
Every person who owns property
in Hand county can well afford to
subscribe for a share or more of the
Fair Association stock. 1t is the
best advertisement of the county's
products and resources, in addition
to FURNISHING a central place of
meeting for the people to pleasantly
spend two or three days each year.

"EASY MONEY"
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Prosperity of State Brings an
Army of Easy Money
GrafterS

Be it Monday, or Saturday, he,
she or it will be along the street
stopping at each place of business to
touch the occupant for some of his
coin. Seldom a day passes but what
business houses are visited by one
or more travelling agents or beggars,
one representing an easy money
graft, and the other playing upon
the harp of sympathy strung by
some physical misfortune.
Among the latest easy money"
pleasantries sprung upon an unsus-
pecting public briming over with
the milk of human kindness was the
House of Hope" snap. Two sweet
young things in petticoats googooed
at the male citizens along this line
of road recently soliciting funds for
a House of Hope" at Grand Island,
Nebr. Among others whom they
called upon in this city was Justice
E. J. Miller. Whether the good
deacon has become a closer observer
since a jaunt into the western wilds
with Frank Crabtree as pace maker
or whether he gave the girls GRIM
inal court third degree sweat, is not
known, but for some reason he be-
came suspicious of them. and wrote
to friend at Grand Island. The
answer? What one might expect:
mo such institution there" "
Of their visit to Ft. Pierre, the
Independent of that town says:
According to reports of the fair
solicitors one is from Buffalo, N. Y,
the other from Omaha. While here
they were under the watchful care
of a couple of young men who kept
well out of sight and took no part in
the soliciting, their only solicitation
being as to what luck their compan-
ions were having. The House of
Hope" may be all right, but. from
the road, it looks like a graft.
When we learn to say nothing
doing" to all such people, the game
will end.

MANY HOMELESS
FIRES RAGING
Minnesota Towns Completely Des-
troyed by Forest Fires

Duluth, Sept. 6.-Forest fires
which have been burning for three
days closed on several towns and
small settlements near Duluth this
afternoon wiping them out, render
ing several thousand people home
less, destroying property valued at
several million dollars and sweeping
over lands in many counties in north
ern Wisconsin and northern Mime
sofa.
Chisholm, Minn., a town of about
1000 people. ninty miles north of
Duluth, was completely wiped out
as a slate is sponged.
Hibbing, Mimi, five miles from
Chisholm, was surrounded by forest
fires tonight and the city was in
danger until the wind shifted. The
entire northern portion of Douglas
county, Wisconsin is on fire and
several small settlements have been
destroyed. Renshaw, a village 25
miles west of Duluth, was surround
ed by forest fires early tonight and
there is no hope for the town. Hun
dreds of farmers have been driven
from their homes by the flames and
as passage along the road way is
difficult owing to the dense smoke
and heat OF the burning forest, it
is believed that some lives may have
been lost, although none have been
reported.
The most destructive of many for
est fires was that which embraced
Chisholm in its frey grip and COM
pletely destroyed it. For three days
the dry wood had been on fire west
and north of town and small bush
fires were repotted to the eastward.
Gradually these closed in upon the
doomed town.
The Great Northern, the only
road running into Chisholm, took
fifteen box cars crowded with home
less people to Hibbing this evening
where citizens are thowing open
their homes and tents are being erec-
ted to care for the refugees, who
are entering the city by hundreds.

DENIS. LOSE PLACE
ON STATE TICKET
Because They Disregarded June
Primaries, Says Supreme
Court

Pierre, Sept. 4.-The supreme
court handed down the decision yes
terday in the suit brought by the
democrats to compel Secretary Wipf
to put the names of the nominees of
the Rapid City convention on the
ballot. The decision sustains the
secretary's ruling that there was no
vacancy on the ballot within the
meaning of the law. and that there
fore no names could appear on the
democratic ticket except those nom-
mated at the June primaries.
The decision places the democratic
aspirants for state offices at disad-
vantage. They will have to go on
the ballot by petition, if at all, and
must needs be listed by themselves
under a separate heading.

New York, Sept. 3.-That the use
