STATE FAIR OF
NORTH DAKOTA
Finest Exhibition OF Its King In The
United States Was Formally
Opened At Fargo Today.
(By Union Associated Press.)

Fargo, N. D., July 25.-North Da-
kota's annual State Fair, the first ex-
hibition of it's kind in the United
States this year, opened today and
will continue through the week. A
North Dakota wild animal show, ar
ranged by the game wardens of the
state, and the educational exhibits are
noteworthy features. Every rural
school of the state is now teaching in
some form the fundamental principles
of agriculture, many having small eX-
perimental farms attached, and the
displays sent by the rural pupils sup
ply proof of the beneficial results at
tainable from such courses. The
premium list of the fair offers about
s21 900 in the various departments.

White MAN BROKE
into MONROE JAIL
And Carried OFF Negro Woman, Whom
1t Is Believed Was Thrown Into
River And Drowned.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Monroe, La, July 25.-An unidenti-
fled man broke into the city Jail here
early today and carried off Laura
Porter, a negro woman prisoner, keep
er of a resort where white men are
reported to have been robbed on sew
eral occasions. 1t is gneally believed
that she was thrown into the Ouchita
river and drowned.
The Porter woman had been warned
to leave town on several occasions
prior to her recent arrest on the
charge of larceny, and officers declare
that they had unearthed a conspiracy
which showed that the woman made a
practice of Turing intoxicated white
men to her resort, where they were
beaten and robbed by negroes.
About the same time the city Jail
was broken open, five short-term pris-
oners made their escape from the
Ouchita parish jail. Two of these
are negroes, the other three white
men. Indicationes are that they wete
given tools and weapons by persons
outside the jail.
Apparently there Is no connection
between the seizure of the negro wo-
man at the city Jail and Jail delivery
at the parish prison. Both parish and
city officers are searching today for
some trace of the Porter woman, as
well as the prisoners who escaped.

INSURANCE OFFICIAL
TAKES AN APPEAL
(By Union Associated Press. }

Syracuse, n. Y, July 25.-Willard
H. Peck, former secretary of the Peo-
pies Mutual Life Association and
League, with counsel appeared in
court here today and appealed from
the verdict of guilty recently found
against him, growing out of charges
preferred against him by the insur-
ance department of the state. The
charge was based on Peck's failure
in his sworn report to the insurance
department to include founders con-
tracts as liability, while before the
examiner in the investigation of the
sale of the company to John Tevis, he
swore that he regarded the contracts
as valuable. He received s31 500 for
these contracts.

TO MAKE
THE CITY CLEAN
Sanitary Officer is to Notify Property
Owners to Clean Up Alley in Rear
of Their Premises.

Sanitary Officer Woods is notifying
property owners that they will not be
permitted to stop with cutting the
weeds and grass from their premises
and from the sidewalks surrounding
them, but the alleys in the rear of
their houses and places of business
must also be put in sanitary condi-
tion and kept that way.
In discussing the matter with a
News reporter, Mr. Woods stated that
the greatest trouble was occasioned
by renters who, in vacating houses
and moving to new locations, pile
heaps of rags and paper, tin cans and
other rubbish in the alleys and leave
them to be blown and scattered to the
four corners of the earth, while the
tin cans soon fill up with water and
become breeding places for mosqui-
toes.
Mr. Woods does not place the fault
so largely on the Tenant as upon the
property owner, whose business he be-
lieves it to be to provide clean, sani-
tary habitation for his renters. 1t is
the party who owns the property who
will be expected to keep things clean,
and the sanitary officer within a short
time to correct many evils which have
existed here for so long.
Ordinances of the city of Hatties-
burg make ample provision for all
these things, and Mr.. Woods will make
an effort to have the laws obeyed for
the purpose of putting the city in a
more healthful condition.

SERIOUS TROUBLE
IS ANTICIPATED
AS Result of The Strike of Trainmen,
On The Grand Trunk Railroad,
In Indiana.
(By Associated PreSs.)


South Bend, Ind, July 25.-Indica-
tfons prevail that there will be serious
trouble in South Bend as the result
of the strike of trainmen on the Grand
Trunk railroad. A mob gathered here
today when it was announced that the
railroad was determined not only to
run through South Bend both passen-
ger and freight trains, but would re-
sumo yard engine service.
The Detroit-C Chicago passenger train,
which passed through this morning,
carried armed guards on every plat
form. They stood with loaded rifles
ready to resent any attack on the
train, but not a stone was hurled, not
event a word was heard, and the train
passed on unmolested.
The yards are glutted with cars,
many of them containing perishable
freight, and this has probably led to
the determination to resume the yard
engine service. This will probably
result in serious trouble.

Sensational Suit.

Gainesville, Ca, July 25.- DR.. Sim
mons deposited Saturday in the First
National Bank of Gainesville the check
which his attorney has sent him as
payment by the trustees of Shorter
College, Rome, Ca, for the pipe organ
which was the subject of sensation
al dispute between the parties few
weeks ago.
1t will be remembered that the trus-
tees of Shorter College sought to re-
strain DR.. Simmons from moving this
pipe organ and the building in which
it was located, claiming that they
themselves had a right to this proper
ty. The notice of the application for
Injunction by the trustees was written
I'D in advance of the hearing in a rath-
er sensational way by the reporter who
gave the news to the general press,
but the Judge by whom the application
was heard upheld DR.. Simmons's right
to remove the property whenever he
desired to do so.
AS Shorter College owned no pipe
organ, the trustees decided to buy this
one from DR.. Simmons and to rent
from him for year the building in
which it stands. In order to get them,
the trustees have paid DR.. Simmons

New Orleans, July 25.--A wireless
message from the steamer Momus
announces that sne will dock at New
orleans between II and o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, bringing all pas
sengers and their baggage.
The Momus on her regular trip
south from New York to New Orleans
was reported on fire off the coast of
Florida last Saturday. 1t was be-
lieved at first that it would be neces-
sary to transfer the passengers and
their baggage to a north-bound ship

The fire only slightly damaged the
Momus and she is now proceeding on
her trip under full steam.

RAILROADS ASKED
FOR Cheaper RATES
Commercial Club Will Make Effort To
Secure Large Attendance, And Rail-
roads Have Been Asked to Cooper
ate in the Work.

Prof. w. L. Hutchinson, directQr of
farmers institutes in Mississippi. -
prepared schedule of dates for IT,
institutes to be held in various see.
tions of the state during the month of
August, in which it is shown that
plans have been made for two-days'
session to be held in Hattiesburg on
August 26 and o.
While Prof Hutchinson has been
asked to extend the time to six days,
nothing has as yet been heard from
him on the subject, and the list of
dates as published in the New Orleans
papers yesterday is taken to indicate
that the session will be limited to two
days.
In order that the attendance may
be as large as possible, the CONNER
cial Club has asked the railroads en-
tering Hattiesburg to make special
reduced rates for this occasion and it
is hoped to secure substantial conces-
sions from them. Heretofore the
rates offered for such occasions have
been one and one-third fare plus twen-
ty-five cents, but it is believed the
railroads will do better than this in
view of the interest which they are
now manifesting in the agricultural
development of this section.
The institute to be held in Hatties-
burg will be extensively advertised,
and it is reasonably believed that a
large number of farmers from nearby
points would be glad to attend if the
trip is not too expensive.
In the eevnt the railroads should
agree to a special reduced rate, the
Commercial Club will make arrange
ments to entertain the visitors at a
dinner on one day. and every possible
courtesy will be extended them so
that large crowd may be induced to
come next day.
One of the features which has been
planned for the occasion, and which
promises to be highly interesting and
of much benefit to farmers, is an in
spection of the state experiment sta
tion at Mcneil, where practical DEM
onstrations of methods taught at the
institute will be given.

POLL BOOK Committee
HAS FINISHED WORK
Books Show Substantial Increase Of
Voters over Last Election-May be
Nine Hundred Votes PoIIed-EIec-
tors Busy.

The day before the election finds
the political situation in Hattiesburg
more lively than at any previous
time during the present campaign,
and the candidates are shelling the
woods for votes.
Messrs. J. A. Beaumont, w. L. Pack
and R. F. Kennedy, the committee ap-
pointed to revise the poll books, met
at the city hall again this morning
for the purpose Of giving a final oppor-
tunity to all about whose qualifications
there was any doubt, and number of
people, even at this late day, appear
ed before them and produced their tax
receipts and were marked 60 K" on
the books.
While the committee has not yet
had an opportunity to count the names
of those who have been found to be
entitled to vote, a count of the Sec
ond ward shows an increase of 102
qualified electors, while a-substantial
increase is noticeable in Ward three
also The latest estimate places the
number of qualified electors at nearly
nine hundred, and from the interest
being manifested, it is generally be-
lieved that practically all who are
qualified to vote will participate in the
primary tomorrow.
The committee in charge of the poll
book revision has worked faithfully
for the past ten days, and as a result
of their labors the books are said to
be in better shape than at any pre-
vious election. They have assisted
numerous people who were marked
delinquent to straighten out errors of
assessment so that nothing would be
shown against them on the books, and
row will be deprived of his franchise
For the benefit OF those who have
their tax receipts but have been mark
ed delinquent through error and have
not appeared before the committee to
get their affairs in shape, aff1davits
are being printed, and all who can
produce their tax receipts tomorrow
will be permitted to vote Just the
same as If nothing appeared against
them on the poll books. All such
votes, however, will be placed in an
envelope, so that they may be exam
ined by the election managers, WHIT
will pass upon the qualifications of the
election.
1t was stated this morning by mem
bers of the executive committee that
the count would probably be complet-
ed by tomorrow night, and everybody
will doubtless know the result before
bedtime. While there will be large
number of names on the ticket, only
three persons are to be voted for, so
that the work of counting the votes
will not be as long and tedious as at
former elections.
