"The need of Northern Minnesota
state fair Is being talked freely
among the northern visitors to the
state fair this year, and from some
sentiments expressed Northern Min
nesota will not be able to do them
selves justice in exhibits until we do
have northern state fair where we
can show our products a couple of
weeks later than the Hamline fair.
The Hamline fair is held little ear
ly for the northern section to show
all their products to advantage. The
main trouble is that we have to ship
our products little green and by
the end of fair week the stuff is not
in the best of condition.
"The main reason though for a
Northern Minnesota state fair is that
the people would see the country
where the products were grown,
whereas now they have very poor
idea of what the country really is,
except that most people think it a
sand pile which they think is almost
worthless for agricultural purposes.
with proper boosting by the
northern boys Northern Minneso--
ia fair is not an impossible thing.
We should go after it with VEN
geance." - -

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Ma
tural Color-Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

There is nothing new about the
idea of using sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our great-grand-
mothers kept their locks soft, dark
and glossy by using sage tea"
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on dull, faded or streaked appear
ance they made brew of sage leaves
and applied it to their hair, with
wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time, tiresome methods of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chem
lists better than we could do it our
selves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready-made product. Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, containing sage in the proper
strength, with the addition of sui
phur, another old-time scalp remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference after
few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

RECALLS JOHNSTOWN FLOOD
Austin Within 100 Miles Of Scene
Of That Disaster.

The food disaster ar Austin occurs al
most within a hundred miles Of the scene
OF the greatest catastrophe Of the kind
this country ever suffered on May 81,
1889 at o'clock in the afternOon-quite
the same hour as the Austin dam is re-
ported 10 have hroken-the great Johns
town flood occurred.
The spring freshet taxed the capacity Of
an old reservoir known as Concmaugh
Lake. owned by the South Fork Fishing
and Hunting Club eighteen miles from
Johnstcwu. I'm seven minutes time after
the reservoir gave way the wall Of water
fell on the milling city Of about 10000 in
habltants, and in the food and fire which
followed 2142 lives were lost and property
valued at 100000 was swept away
The warning which residents Of Austin
Valley appear 10 have had that the dam
above them was not altogether safe, be-
cause OF numerous leakages, had been even
more alarming at JOhnstOwn.
The Johnstown dam had cut. of, one end
OF n lake. formerly q reservoir. It had been
bought by a group Of sportsmen, and was
private property. The fact of the differ
ence in altitude between this lake and the
city Of Johnstown-275 feet-had made it
an object Of apprehension for some time,
and for a year or more previous to the
disaster engineers had inspected the dam
twice a month

THE DAM THAT BURST
Great Concrete Structure Had
Given Trouble Ever Since Built.

The little town OF Austin, Penn. was at
the mercy OF the great dam which burst
Yesterday afternoon. IL IS in narrow val

narrowing sharply at the base. The dam
was almost at the towns gate. The town

proximately twenty-five hundred persons
although when the various industries there
were In full blast a year or more ago us
population was much larger.
Tho dam was one Of the largest IN
Northern Pennsylvania. II was constructed
about two years ago By the Bayless Pulp
and Paper Company to lmnOund water for
storage purposes. Tho Bayless companys
interests are almost chief in the town.
In the d-ouths Of several summers it was
short OF water, and the great dam was
built 10 make a permanent supply poss
From the first the dam has given trouble
About n wear ago the massive concrete
walls sank eight or ten inches, and the
millions OF gallons OF water impounded
there brimmed over, threatening the little
settlement below with destruction. En-
gincerS came 10 IIe rescue Win W ii'4i'N
and made a plan for gradually draining
away the water This was accomplished
without incident and the wall was strength
ened.
Austin got on the map first fifteen years
ago or more. when the Goodyear Lumber
Company, Of Buffalo, built the largest
hcmlock sawm!l in the world there. The
mill gave employment 70 several hundred
employees for more than decade. 1t was
dismantled last year, after the neighborine
timber supply had become exhausted. The
Emporium Lumber Company also had a
large sawmll in active operation there
Several hundred persons were employed by
this company at the Austin works. The
Emporium company also had stored there
