Dies Suddenly

George Walker, aged about - years,
died suddenly at the Chase depart
ment store Thursday morning. He
was employed at that place and came
to work early in apparent good
health. Shortly afterward another
clerk found him dead.
The cause of his death was the sud-
den rush of blood to his head. He
had complained Of headaches for the
past ten days, but was not considered
in a serious condition.
"Scotty'', as he was Familiarity
known, probably had as many friends
as any man in the county and many
sincerely mourn his death.
He leaves a wife and one child.
The remains will be taken to Hot
Springs this (Friday) evening where
interment will take place Sunday.

Farmers and High Prices

"ln Iowa the politicians have made
the. most fuss owe the so-called reign
of higher prices. Yet of all the peo-
pie, Iowa people have been most bene-
fitted. Three-fourths of the people of
this state are farmers and the other
one-fourth are more or less directly
interested in farming.
"All the products Of the farm have
brought high prices. Corn, SO cents a
bushel; and wheat a dollar a bushel:
cattle, eight cents a pound, and hogs
nine cents a pound and horses "out of
sight" During these years the farm
ers have been able to sell anything
they had at good prices. They have
prospered as never before. They have
paid off mortgages and they have
bought automobiles. For the first
time in the history of the state they
have verify come into their own.
"At the same time they have
bought more sugar for a dollar, more
Kerosene for aquarter, and wire fence
has been cheap. They have been
buying shoes at practically the same
prices and they car get just as good a
suit of clothing for Sl2 or 500 as ever
they bought, if anything better made.
but the politicians have ranted
against these conditions and ranted
until they have almost brought things
to a halt. These politicians have
neither understood the people. Q
have they tried to serve their inter
ests-they have simply laid what they
believed was the foundations for their
own continuance in office.
But if the politicians succeed. the
farmers will find that they will again
be selling everything for less while.
the things they buy will not vary
much."-Cedar Rapids Republican.
The foregoing holds equally tr1e
for South Dakota and the country at
large and if the farmer is not making
money it is surely because Of bad
management or III luck.

Automobile races and special evening
horse races additional to the daily
speed program) will be pulled off on
the track every evening. The entire
grounds have been wired and will be
ablaze with electric lights. On the
roof of the grand stand there will be
placed two powerful revolving search
light, which will be turned on the
racers all the way around the course.
On the platform directly in front Of
the grand stand there will be nightly
with an entire change of program
every night such a vaudeville pro-
gram as will transform the grounds
into a veritable Wonderland.
Among the strong features of the
evening show are the Original Idanias
troupe of athletes in their bewilder-
ing mid-air feats and evolutions. The
great European Heras Family of aero
bats and gymnasts: Douglas & Doug
las the head Of their profession as
pantomimics and fun makers; Prof.
Towards astonishing trained dogs
and ponies; and Miss Blanche Nc
Kinney's "Wild West'' and Hippo
drome, combined with Burnley Tubb's
racing combination. This feature
will include a half mile Roman chariot
race, an exhibition of fancy riding by
Miss Mckinney on her educated high
school horse, "Twilight;" half mile
Roman standing race; "The Chase for
a Bride" riding a bucking broncho:
half mile race between Miss McKin-
ney and a riderless horse; one and one
half mile relay race-cow girl and
jockey: expert lasso throwing; half
mile cart ace a horses and a quarter
mile dash, cowboy, u inside of rec
ord time. One or more acts Of this
thrilling combination will be a part
Of each evenings entertainment. All
horses used are thoroughbreds and
will be ridden by Miss Mckinney and
jockey. There will be no tedious
waits every act and ace will be
pulled off in one, two, three order
and this rule will apply and be en-,
forced also in the daily speed program.
Drivers and riders will not be per-
mitted to hold up the start while they
score for advantage.
This evening combination of band
concert, grand opera, pantomine ath-
letic and gymnastic feats, automobile
Roman and Wild West races, makes
a program to suit every variety OF
taste. The music acts and racer will
be different every evening; the whole
in connection with the mammoth ex.
hibits and the daily speed ring pro.
gram, constituting a five days enter.
tainment not equaled elsewhere in
the state-and very rarely in any
other state.
Remember the dates, September y,
Ii, IA. 05 and 16. Remember the
special trains and one half fare rates
are given over all railroads for this
great event and that you will alway
regret it if you stay away from it..

"A New Department. in State
Fair

With the largest exhibit ever made
in the state, as well as the largest
and best speed program, already Sc
cured and every indication of a record
breaking attendance, the state fair
board is determined that no visitor
shall go home disappointed. There
will be something doing every min
ute, from the opening, at 10 O'Clock
a. m. of the first day until 1000 p. m.
of the last day-with barely a nightly
recess of ten hours for needed rest.
In addition to the daily program of
the fair proper, a contract has been
closed and all arrangements perfected
for a magnificent musical entertain
ment every evening by the great
Lombardo's Band and Grand Opera
Concert company for a concert each
night of the fair. The company con-
sists of "A instrumental players all
specialists, 81 singers, including s
operate ~solists; 6S performers every
one of whom is a specialist. The
company's entertainment was the
musical hit of the occasion at the
great Knights Templar conclave
held recently in Chicago. Only two
other state fairs have ventured on
the expense of this costly entertain
ment: but the South Dakota state
fair board in acting on the motto
THAT the very best is never too good
for South Dakotans."
These concerts will be held in the
great stock pavilion each evening
commencing at so'clock. In addition
to the spacious amphitheater of the
pavilion the arena will be seated
with comfortable s%ettees, atfording in
all seats for 1900 people.
The day has passed in the history
Of this state, when South Dakotans
must perforce, be satisfied to meet to-
gether at the fair and be entertained
solely by contemplating their own
achievements in farming, stock breed
ing and domestic science. With the
greatest per capita, annual earnings,
and the highest percentage of accum-
ulated wealth, within the past ten
years, of all the states in the union,
the South Dakotan is warranted in
aspiring to, and demanding the finer
things of life-food for the intellec-
tual, rs well as the physical man
which inspire pure thoughts and high
aspirations.
With this estimate of the culture
and good taste of it's fellow citizens
the state fair board inaugurates this
year the new feature of an evening,
musical program on a scale which
should and will, make it a permanent
and popular feature Of the fairs.
OTHER EVENING ENTERTAINMENTS
In addition to, and simultaneous
with, the great concerts in the pa
Wilton there will be continuous en-
tertainment every night on the race
track and on specially prepared plat

KEoKUK CARS ENTERED
Several Owners From keokuk Have
Signified Intention of Enter
ing and Others are Elk
pected to Follow.

The big attraction this year at the
Donnellson fair, September to 8, is
to be the auto races, in which several
cars from Keokuk will be entered and
driven by their owners. This form of
amusement is new to this section but
should prove great success, espe-
cially with Keokuk autoists, as there
lis at present great rivalry between
the owners of different makes of ma.
chimes.
The suggestion was made that such
a race be featured about ten days
ago to the fair management and met
with their approval at once, and also
with the approval of tie auto owners
of this section as is shown by the
sentiment expressed. Nearly all of
the make of cars seen on the streets
of Keokuk will have representative
George Hartel is grooming and car
ing for an Interstate forty that he
will enter and drive and the Stricken
company will enter Cutting forty
which will be driven by Thomas Bow
ers. Both cars will be stripped Of
any unnecessary equipment and will
be driven to the limit Bowers has
driven in several races.
Smith Hamill expects to enter his
Chalmers-Detroit. which is thirty
horse power machine. When the races
were mentioned to the Ericksol-Lar-
son Co. they stated that they would
probably enter Buick.
There are several other cars around
the country and in Keokuk that will
probably enter. FIT. Madison has sew
eral experienced drivers and will be
well represented Atlee, of Madison.
has a six-cylinder O1ds machine of
sixty horse power and there are other
fast machines of other makes in that
city.
The date of the auto races was not
known in the city this morning. but
will be set soon. The track on which
the races will be held is half mile
in length. On such q course the skill
and ability of the driver will count
very much. The race will be against
time.
