BIG CHICK
EN- SHOW.
E. A. Birch Presides Over q
Very Interesting Poultry
Exhibit.
(From Wednesdays Specially

(From Wednesdays Specially
The poultry exhibit this year
is so far in advance of former years,
that there is no comparison. Last
year the exhibition coops were
home made and the poultry did not
show to any advantage and the pub
lie could not understand why the
birds looked so ragged, rough and
dirty when they were only from the
farm one or two days. The weather
was extremely hot and in order to
keep the birds alive they had to be
drenched with water. How differ
ent this year. The fair association
went to a great expense to furnish
exhibition coops for the poultry,
which are large, airy and nicely ar
ranged, and then the building is al
so nicely arranged, so that the birds
plumage is kept clean and the birds
look comfortable, and seem to real
ly enjoy the change from the farm
to parlor home, and admired as
they are by thousands of people
who exclaim "what beautiful
birds" Il had no idea that Kan
diyohi county had such an assort-
ment of breeds.'' l noticed that
the White Wyandottes were in ma
jority, but the beautiful, graceful
and clean White Leghorn came Sec
ond in numbers. There were ON ex-
hibition besides the two above
breeds, the partridge ,Wyandotte,
Silver Laced Wyandottes, Black
Minrocas, White Faced Black Span
ish, Blue Andelusian, Barred and
White Plymouth Rocks, Brown
Leghorns, Silver Spangled Ham,
burg. Rhode Island Reds. Cornish
Indian Game, Buff Cochin Bantam,
and White Guineas. There were
Bronze and White Turkeys, Pekin
Rouen, and White Crested ducks,
Emden, Toulouse and Canadian
Wild Geese. Some of the birds had
taken prizes at the state fair and
all were birds that would make an
excellent showing at any fair. The
birds were all judged Thursday
morning and it looks as if the coun.
try people had carried off nearly all
the prizes. The farmers are real
izing that if blooded stock are pre-
ferable to scrubs then the little
speckled hen must pass away before
the thoroughbred chicken as it
means beauty to look at, and wealth
from the increase of eggs, and the
sale of birds. Those who have not
seen the display should do so at
once, as it is we'll worth seeing.
We congratulate the street fair as
sociation and the lovers of good
chickens on the wonderful advance
ment made in this department as
the hen is one of the recognized
wealth producers of the world, ard
she must be respected.

THE ART EXHIBIT IS
A THING OF BEAUTY
(From Wednesdays specially

The art exhibit is the Mecca for
all lovers Of the dainty and beauti.
full. The ladies having this part Of
the fair, in charge have made q
most attractive setting for the
lovely work displayed, by the artis-
tic decorations of flowers, greenery
and d1apings of the official colors
Of the fair.
The exhibit is conceded by all
to be the best ever held in connec-
tion with our annual street fairs.
There may have heen as many !,
possibly more, articles placed on
exhibition in this department be-
fore, but one rarely sees more beau
tifully executed work than this
years display shows.
In the fancy needle work depart
ment are shown most beautiful,
lace and embroidery of the latest
designs and stitches, drawn work,
which rivals the real Mexican arti.
Gle. hemstitching, crocheting and
daintiest patch work. Each article
in itself is a work of art. The chill
dren's work in this department is
worthy special mention. The COL
lection is large and the pieces
show careful, painstaking work.
No need to fear a decline in dain-
ty needle work when the children
are receiving such thorough in
struction.
In the art department several un-
usually fine paintings are exhibited
and these, with the pastel work and
delicate china painting. show that
lWillmar s artistic talent has been
and is being splendidly developed.
The splendid showing in the
housewives department is very at
tractive and many are the compli-
mentary remarks concerning it.
The jellies, canned fruits, pickles,
bread, cakes. pies, etc., are tempt
ing in the extreme. The enviable
reputation gained by the ladies of
Willmar for their culinary skill is
we'll sustained by this display.

Mayor Of Raymond Stabbed.

A. N. Rosenquist, president Of
the village Of Raymond, was stab
bed last Wednesday evening in one
of the saloons at Raymond. The
wound was not serious one but
that was evidently not because the
assailants' intention were desperate
enough. The latter was set upon
by others who were present and
had three teeth knocked out and
his nose broken. The assailant was
brought before the village justice
the next day and fined so.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. 23.--As
it means more than the passing of
heavenly freak to Professor Per-
cival Lowell, director of the Lowell
observatory here.
Some day this earth will come to
an end and If there are people in
other planets they will see its fin
ish through their telescopes.
And after the end of the world,
what?
Professor Lowell and other as
tmenon1ers, on or about May Is
next, will look through the big re-
tractor here and see Hallcy's com
ct do just what the world will do
the day before it comes to an end.
Halley's comet then will cross the
face of the sun.
According to Professor Lowell's
startling theories. the earth will
cross the face of the sun, some
time. and not only will cross it.,
but will dive, like a baseball from
bat, RIGHT INTO the sun itself,
Somewhere back of the feeble
little space we call our universe
there are the ghosts of worlds like
our own moving about as ghosts
do, with no fixed time of appear
ance. Every once in while one
of our big planets will start sud
denly from its path, tremble lit
tie. and then start on again.
During the time ii trembled one
of these ghost-like worlds was
