ALL GET THEIR PRIZES.
Not an Exhibitor Leaves Fair
Grounds Without Being Paid.

When the gates of the fair
grounds were opened to the public at
4 o'clock this Afternoon upon the blast
of whistle, there was a mad rush
:1.g to get free glimpse OF the fair
before the exhibits were hauled away.
There was scene of hustle and
hustle, as the exhibitors made haste
to pack the produce in their displays
which had not been sold. Many
sales of cattle, horses and hogs were
made.
At the office of the fair the entire
force CT clerks were up to their necks
in the work of paying off the premium
winners.
Not man will go off the grounds
without his premium said Stc1 etary
H. L. Cook, unless he asks us to send
it to him. The fair has been great
success and as we expected TO do
whether the weather conditions were
favorable or not, we are living UP to
our agreements.
There is no doubt but we will
come off in good shape financially"
was the statement of Scott Hopkins,
treasurer of the fair association.
The petition which was circulated
among the fair exhibitors and which
expressed their appreciation OF the
manner in which the FAIR was handled
and the courtesy shown, and their
opinion that Topeka is the logical
place for holding the state fair, has
been signed by all the exhibitors. A
general spirit of good feeling prevails
among both exhibitors and fair visit
ors.
This morning the attendance in size
came next to that of yesterday morn
ing, and the races and other attrac-
lions brought large crowd to the
grounds this afternoon. Concerts by
the American Ladies' band and other
features were enjoyed
Just to give an idea of the immen-
sity OF the fair and the manner in
which the concessions were patron
lied, it might be mentioned that 1000
persons rode On the merry-go-round
yesterday. The rush was not so great
today, but in the closing hours of the
exposition a big business was being
done

Government Demonstrates Its Value
in Test at South Omaha.
A successful demonstration of the
value of the new government serum
for preventing hog cholera has just

the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. The efficiency of the serum
has been proved many times in the
past, but in order that it's value might

ion was arranged for at the Union
Stock Yards at South Omaha in co.
operation with the Union Stock Yards
Company Of Omaha.
The stock yards company purchased
thirty pigs, weighing from 40 to 60
pounds each, from a farm which had
been free from hog cholera for sew
eral years. These pigs were brought
to the stock yards, and on July %,
1910, four of them were injected with
blood from hogs sick of hog cholera
These inoculated pigs were placed in
a pen by themselves, and within five
days they had become sick, at which
time eighteen Of the remaining pigs
were each given one dose of the ser.
UNI. while the other eight pigs were
not treated in any way. The eighteen
serum-treated pigs and the eight un-
treated pigs were then placed in the
same pen with the four pigs which
had been made sick by incubation.
The foul pigs which were first
given hog cholera all died. and the
eight untreated pigs al contracted the
disease from them. The eighteen pigs
which were given serum, and which
were confined in the same pen with
the four original sick pigs and with
the sick untreated pigs. remained

The commission discussed the ad-
visibility of purchasing a new out

The chief objection raised to the
immediate purchase of team and

to put them. Commissioner Marquett
