Bridegroom Has Money And
Mamma Is Happy

st. Louis, Sept 14-Another mar
riage between a Japanese and an
American girl, which sprang out of
the st. Louis worlds fair, like several
others in the past two years, took
place yesterday, when Miss Freda
Cast, OF 919 South Taylor Avenue,
went to Springfield, ILL.,, with her
mother and became the wife Of Yu.
kinube Yamamoto, q concessionaire
at Delmar Garden.
Yamamoto lives at 5169 Fairmont
avenue, having come to st. Louis in
1904 with the Japanese exhibit at
the worlds fair. He comes from To
kio and brought with him quite an
amount of money, which, when the
fair was over he used to buy out sew
eral concessions of Japanese ball roll
ing at summer gardens. Lately he
sold out his interest in his stands at
the other gardens, but still runs that
at Delmar.
Miss Freda Cast has been until re-
Gently, clerk in wholesale drug
company. A woman at her home last
night would give no information re-
garding her. The woman denied that
she was the mother of the girl and
answered to all questions, well, can't
girl marry any one she likes?"
At the house where Yamamoto
boards on Fairmont avenue, another
Japanese, who would not give his
name, stated that Yamamoto had left
the house early in the morning, with
out stating that he was to be married.
He said he had his trunks all packed,
but had not taken them from the
house Yamamoto has known the
Cast girl about two years and has
been keeping steady company with
her for the past year. Neighbors say
she is very pretty. Yamamoto is good
looking and larger than most of his
race.
1t is said the couple will reside
some place on Locust street. 1t was
stated last night at the home of YAM
amoto that he was still in Spring
field.
The Jap who was seen last night
was once partner of Yamamoto, but
dissolved his partnership this summer
and started out for himself. He
would give no information regarding
Yamamoto. A dispatch from Spring
field last night stated that Mrs. Cast,
the girls mother, seemed delighted
after the knot had been tied.

onion
Crop In Ohio To Be Very
Short

Help! Help! Help!
The good old onion crop is short.
According to a statement made by
the secretary of the state board of ag-
riculture, the crop this year will fall
far short of that of last years yield.
Last year over 1,250,000 bushels were
grown in Ohio. But from present in
dications the crop this year will not
exceed 100000 bushels. The wealth
er hasn't been just right for onion
growing, there being too much rain
and then the continued drought.
Ohio farmers are fast waking up to
the possibilities in onions. Under
favorable conditions every acre will
give at least 80 bushels and even at
so cents that is very good money.

UNDER The DUST
OF Centuries A "WyantS 1863" Is
Found In Detroit

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE sig
nature, "Wynants, 1669,' was found
beneath the dust of centuries on a
canvas bought for song in a second
hand shop here some time ago. The
painting appeared in the Detroit Mu-
scum and Art today and its history
was told.
1t belongs to John A. Steen, an at
torney and collector of antiques. He
purchased it of a woman who had
bought it because she admired the
frame 1t was so dirty the figures
were almost indstinguishable,

side of the tent and the Clinton
grange is on the south side. Here is
place where a grand variety OF
things can be seen. Antique articles
of apparel and house furnishings are
in abundance. Probably the most in
.teresting article Of an aged nature is
a deed for land drawn up in 1742.
This deed was given by John Knowles
to Philip Weller in the year mentioned
above, making 1t one hundred and six
ty-eight years old. This, If you re-
member, was thirty-four years before
the revolutionary war Besides these
colonial curiosities, there is a fine ex-
hibition of fruit and vegetables which
will make your mouth water IL you
linger long.
Just north of this is a sight to
make the farmers glad. A grand
display Of the latest farm implements
such as plows, corn drills, wagons and
many other useful articles on the farm
are to be seen.
A thing which will probably inter-
est the majority of the spectators is
the poultry departments. This is To-
Gated in the same place as last year,
almost directly north of the boat
house and across the driveway. Chick
ems of various kinds and colors such
as Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks, Buff
Orphingtins, Buff Cochins, Partridge
Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds,
White Wyandottes. There is also an
exhibition of fine turkeys at this place.
In the building just southeast of
the dining hall is found canned fruit,
jellies, vegetables and grain galore.
1t is practically farmers paradise
and should be visited by all means.
Another great attraction at the fair
is the display shown in the dining
hall Here is found articles of the
greatest interest along the lines of
fine linens and handiwork. Articles
of apparel and housefurnishing are
to be seen which were made in the
colonial days when everything was
done by hand. Some of these are
works of art accomplished by the
needle before the Revolutionary war
and some of them were made during
the war. Besides the needle work, an
abundance of chin ware and hand
painted work is on exhibition.
In the way of sports and outside
amusements, nothing has been left un-
done by the committee in charge of
the fair The merry go-round, the
wave" the boating and bathing, the
ball throwing galleries and the races
are among the principal things. All
preparations for the races on We'd
nesday were made several days ago
and on Tuesday morning and after
noon, men were working on the track
and it has been worked into excellent
shape. Some fast heats will undoubt-
edly be made this afternoon.

THE FAIR
Opens Al HiaWatha Park
With Many Exhibits
But With A Small Attendance
At Opening
Merchants Of The City Have
A Fine Display
Live Stock Exhibit The Best
Ever Seen
The Races To Be A Feature
Of The Fair

Tuesday marked the opening of the
Knox county fair at Lake Hiawatha
park for the year of 1910 The fair
this year promises to far excel those
of previous years in every way. A
great deal more general interest is
shown both by townspeople and by
the farmers than heretofore and with
those sentiments, the fair cannot help
but be grand success. Tuesday was
the opening day and of course, the
crowd present consisted mainly of
those making entries and those who
are preparing to furnish the amuse-
ment entertainments for the great
number of patrons who will be pres
ent during the remaining three days
of the fair when everything will be
seen in full blast with all of the
exhibitions and pastimes complete.
Do not think that there was moth
ing of interest to be seen on Tues
day for large number of the entries
were already placed for inspection
and they were all A No. 1. The dance
hall has been converted into a room
to- be used by the merchants of Mt.
Vernon This is an excellent plan and
the merchants showand display their
goods to the best possible advantage.
Starting at the northeast corner of
the hall and going west and on around
the displays are as follows: The Col
lier, Wilmington electrical supplies,
the Bell telephone exhibitions and
demonstrations, the Parr shoe store
display, where the patrons are well
come to call and receive a pretty SOU
veHir thermometer, the Ahern green
house display, the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Cos. wares, the Fish & Lybarg-
.er shoe store exhibition and last but
not least, the display of clothing and
furnishings of the Milton Lewis cloth
ing store. Taking the display of the
merchants in all, it is very pretty
and interesting sight and no one of
the fair goers can afford to miss it.
On going from the dance hall, the
proper way to see everything in good
order is to go directly west and visit
the tents containing the magnificent
specimens of farm animals. In one
large tent is a lot of choice cattle,
just south of this being the pony tent,
where everyone is bound to be inter,
ested by the pretty ponies, which
stare at you with knowing eyes. The
last of the animal tents contains the
hog and sheep display. Here is seen
a number of first-class sheep of the
common breed generally seen in this
portion of the country and then there
are a number of strange kinds of
sheep which are worthy of close
study. The pigs are in separate pens
by themselves where they can be
viewed to the best advantage.
Going from the animal tents, the
first thing in order is the large tent
just across the driveway north of the
auditorium. This is the display CIV
en- by the Milford and Clinton oranges.
The Milford grange is on the north

Dy Lightning Was The

The Gardner school house, located
near Hedding chapel, was struck by
lightning on Monday evening at about
five o'clock during the severe electri-
cal storm which swept over this part
of the country. The school children
had just left the building for their
homes and luckily, no one was injured.
A large hole was torn in the roof and
a bolt of lightning played havoc with
number of the students desks. No
fire was started as result of the
lightning and the building was repair
ed and made in readiness for the
session of school on Tuesday morn

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
Of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms a coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cement-like SUBJ
stance in the joints frequently termi-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
"doctor " the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets frmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. II
