for these hops.
Prepared for Big Crowd.
There Is only one thing that can
now prevent the largest crowd ever
seen in Fargo from being here during
fair week, and that Is the most adj
verse weather conditions. Even this
contingency has not been overlooked
and the management is IN position 10
care for the pest possible comfort OF
the visitors. They have arranged ia
cilities for handling at least $4,000 peo-
pie Fargo is also prepared in this
respect 1t is now no longer necessary
10 establish a bureau Of information
for the purpose OF securing accomma-
dations for the visitors In the private
homes OF the city. The regular hotels
alone are able to care for between
5000 and 5000 people each day to say
nothing of the many large boarding
and rooming houses
Transportation facilities are the best.
The street car line, the AUTOMOBILES and
livery establishments are able to trans
port any crowd of people that viii
come to the fair, TO and from the
grounds. The railroads have also ar
ranged for special train service. In
any Of these things the visitors will
not have cause for complaint
The management has arranged that
vehicles OF all kinds will be admitted
to the fair grounds free when the driv-
er Is provided with paid admission
This with the exception of drays,
which will be charged 81 for the en-
tire fair.
Undoubtedly the Interstate fair will
be the best exposition ever seen in
North Dakota. The promise OF ex-
cellent crops and the area of general
prosperity has made 1t possible for
everyone to be present and for the
best Nne of agricultural and other ex-
hibits ever seen.

CARRYING GUN NO JOKE
This Man Gets 90 Days in the coun-
ty Jail on Entering a Plea
OF Guilty.

Walter Coles, colored, has come to
the conclusion that carrying conceal
ed weapons is no longer a joke in
Cass county. At present he Is in the
county jail starting the initial heat OF
the sixty day sentence on that charge
Coles is man picked up by the
police recently, on whom was found
an ugly looking gun. Late Saturday
afternoon, plea of guilty was enter
ed in the county court before Judge
A. G. Hanson by the defendant.
Ed Rohn and Frank Carson pleaded
guilty to uttering obscene language
at Buffalo in the presence OF ladies.
These are the two men against whom
complaints were made on the charge
OF selling liquor. States Atty. A. w.
Fowler found that there was not sum
Gent evidence to warrant holding
them on this charge and the other was
preferred. They had already served
over a week in jail and ten days was
considered sufficient to impress upon
them the necessity OF being more
choice in the selection OF their terms.

But Steel Stock Is Feature
of the Trading

NEW YORK. May 2S.-l0 O'Clock
The most important feature OF the
trading In the frat few minutes was

made in Reading, which opened a

mand. both common and preferred
