The resolutions adopted by the Retail
Liquor Dealers Association several months
ago respecting the sale of fve-cent "growl-

so-called reforms. became effective this
morning. Members of the organization
are supposed to no longer sell cents
worth Of beer in buckets. nor are they
supposed to furnish anything for free
lunch other than cheese and crackers or
pretzels. One of the principal reasons for
doing away with the cheap growler. it is
said, Is to put stop to drivers drinking
beer from cans while seated on their
wagons.

here will begin to remind one OF the

has been SO lively all summer.
Most of the Pay Streak shows have
closed, and dull times now prevail along
that section Of the grounds, which has
kept such lively pace up to the present
time.
Great boxes, crates, etc, are creeping
into view about the various buildings, to

gates to the universe. That this fair has
been an unusual success in every way
has it displayed wonderfully fine eX-

cially and socially. Every state and
section taking part in this show or cele-

lotted suitable space for entertaining,
making the social feature a most general
and attractive one.
Last week for several days the mag,
nificent stock show attracted great
crowds and Saturday Children's day was
celebrated, the feature being the award
ing of pony and cart. Each child was
given a number upon entering the
grounds, and later a drawing took place.
The lucky number fell to little girl re-
siding in Seattle. who promised all the
other children who did not get pony
and cart that they at least should
have ride in hers
1t is announced that after the 18th the
fair will be kept open informally for a

the Latin Americans

Mr.. Buchanan was born in Ohio, but
moved to Iowa. In the days when Sioux
City, backed by eastern capital. enjoyed a
wonderful boom he promoted the famous
Corn Palace" expostions With the
slogan, "Korn is King" he did much to
attract attention to Iowas natural riches
and represented that state at the Chicago
worlds fair.
He was appointed by President Cleve-
land minister to Argentina, where he re-
NAMED from 1894 to 1900. AS an arbi-

Buchanan as a personal friend. for his
great achievements in the field of diplo-

Mr.. Buchanan ever since the latter en-

The extraordinary achievements of Mr..
Buchanan during his twenty years of
diplomatic life were referred to by Mr..
Adee, who declared. in addition, that Mr..
Buchanan possessed to a greater degree
the instinct of diplomacy than any other
man he had ever known. He believed,
said Mr. Adee, that it was better to
avoid difficulties than to make them.
