The two cars were welded together

debris was horrible, and caused a
scene of utter confusion.

Robbery Charge In
September

The Paul Lemanczlk saloon on
Broadway east was entered late
Tuesday evening, entrance being
gained by breaking in a window IN
the back end of the building, and the

tion. After breaking into the cash

throwing the empty bottles all over the
floor as also a large number of cigars.
The revolver was loaded with five
shots, and two of these ne fired
through the floor.
When Mr.. Lemanczek opened up in
the morning he soon saw that there
had been something dong in the
saloon during the night, and notified
Patrolman Leblanc. The latter went
to the place and on looking near the
place where entrance was gained.

COUNTY TO MOVE ROCK
Commissioners So Aeree
atWsdnssday's Ses-
sion

A large number Of the business men
Of this city. headed by John Wetzel,
cashier of the German American
National bank. appeared before the
board OF county commissioners
Wednesday morning and asked that
the county bear the expense Of NOV
ing the twenty five carloads of crushed
rock, which the state will ship here
free of charge, to that part of the road
running from the city limits to the
Brickyards.
Some of the members of the board
opposed this on the ground that since
the Pork Barrel, under which the
county was to receive nice amount
for roadwork from the state. had
been knocked out in the supreme
court, the county would not have the
money to do much road work other
than just repair work. but believed
that this road needed Improvement.
At this point Mr.. Wetzel stated to the
county commissioners that the three
banks of the city would take up the
orders that would be issued as a result
Of the work and hold them free of
interest for the period OF one year.
The board accordingly accepted the
proposition of the business men.

STREET FAIR
Premium List About Conn
pIetsd--To Be a
Good One

The premium list tor the street fair
to be given here on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, September l6, II and
18, has been practically completed and
Will be published next week.
There are more stock premiums
offered this year than in past street
fairs, and the grain premiums, though
little smaller this year, are about
what is offered as a general rule at
any of the county fairs.
Arrangements are being made for a
building in which to exhibit the
stock, ana the street fair committee
will furnish the hay and bedding for
the stock, but the feed will have to be
furnished by the farmers.
A nice amount IS offered as
premiums for the largest and best
collection of stock exhibited by one
farmer. The first premium is for the
best collection of farm team, best bull
and two cows, best boar and two sows,
best buck and two ewes, best rooster
and two hens and SO on down the line
with ducks, turkeys, geese, etc. IF a
farmer has not all these he may ex.
hibit as any of them as he has, points
being awarded for quality and for the
size of the collection. This will no
doubt prove one Of the best drawing
cards Of the exhibit and farmers hav-
ing any kind of collection of stock
should not fail to enter them for this
premium. a"
The work of preparing for the street
fair is progressing nicely. The solicit
ing committee is receiving favorable
results, and it will soon be kown just
what entertainments there will be for
the three days of the fair. There Will
be monkey, dog and pony show at
which admlttance will be free. a
merry. go-round will be secured, and it
is Inquired on getting several pay attrac-
tlons also.
A proposition which is advanced bv
a number Of the business men of this
city, as also number OF the farmers
OF the county, and which IS bringing
favorable comments, is that of having
county fairs after this instead of street
fairs. Not that street fairs are not a
success, but because with the same
amount OF money and work a county
fair would be twice the success a
street fair is. The first cost of eet-
! ting the grounds and putting them in
shape would of course be Considerable
OF an expense but each succeeding year
would find new buildings and new
improvements which within a few
years would make this county famous
as 1t has done for other counties which
have them, for their excellent county
fairs: The resources Of the county
could then be demonstrated to ad-
vantage. They believe that the
county IS large enough and it's
resources are such that it can easily
conduct fine county fair annually.
