WILL HOLD
FIRST FAIR
Burke County to Hold Its First
Annual Fair on October
5th and 9th Next

Burke county is to have its
first annual fair this fall on Octo-
ber S and 6. It was so decided
by number of business men at
a meeting held at the Office of
the Security Abstract Co. Wed
nesday evening. All arrange
ments are now being made for
getting out the premium list, Sc
curing attractions, etc., and The
Tribune will keep it's readers
informed as to all the good
things that are in store for them
as soon as arrangements there
for have been made.
The county fair will be held
under the management of the
Burke County Fair and Racing
Association, which will be as
sisted by some of the business
men of the city appointed for
that purpose. The expenses of
the fair are guaranteed by the
business men of Bowbells. They
feel that the racing association.
has already done more than it's
share for the city's benefit, and
do not wish the stockholders to
run the risk falling behind at
the fair.
At the meeting Wednesday
night A. C. Wiper was made
chairman and M. H. Powers
secretary. After some discus
sion a motion was carried in
structing: the secretary to corres-
pond with Prof. Worst Of the
Agricultural College of North
Dakota and also Prof. Campbell
of Nebraska with a view of en-.
gaging them both to speak here,
one on each day. It was also de-
cided to employ a band, hold foot
races, horse races, and various
other contests usually held at
county fairs.
On motion the chair appointed
a committee consisting of Jerry
Donovan, C. H. Hecht, B.A. Stef-
onowicz, H. L. Lyon, T. O. Hun
ter and T. B. Hurry to do all in it's
power in getting the farmers in
Burke county to make exhibits,
and to appoint committee of
one in each township in the
county to see that his township
is represented.
Another committee was ap-
pointed to look after the manage
ment of the fair, get out the
premium list, see that the fair is
properly advertised, sell privi-
leges, etc. The chair appointed
on this committee the stockhold-
ers in the fair association and al
so Jens Peterson, E. E. Hart
man, E. C. Kruger, H. C.
Blenkner and VIM. Sadleir.
Now that Burke county is to
have it's first annual fair it be-
hooves every man, woman and
child in the county to do all in
his or her power to make it q
success. After the thing is once
started it will almost take care
Of itself. The first. few years
are always hardest on those fin
ancing it and all should help in
bringing in exhibits, getting all
their neighbors to come, and to
study the exhibits that are dis
played on the grounds. There Is
no end to the good a county fair
can do for the farmers who
take an interest Ia it. It is both
instructive and entertaining. It
will show the farmers just what
can be raised in the county, It
will promote the raising Of better
stock, show how more grain can
be raised on the farms, and the
amount of49ood a person derives
from it is limited only to the
amount of interest he takea Ia
the exhibits. S5.
Now let's get together and
make Burke county's first fair
the best ever, and don't forget
the dates = October 5 and s. 81, .

and destroying property to the
extent of several thousands Of

were noticeable, one west Of

the south missed Antler, being
only about twenty rods from the

picnic grounds on Antler creek,
where many people were spend

were injured here Of whom two

injured are Mr.. and Mrs. Hut

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-A few points Of
decided strength appeared In today q
stock market. The movement as a whole
was not large. In the fore part Of the
day Reading, Lehigh Valley, ST. Paul,
Union Pacific and United States steel In
particular showed the effects Of pressure
exerted by the bears In the expectation
OF continuing trade decline. The busi-
nees developed increasing strength as the
day progressed.
The stocks which showed pronounced
strength were issues which seldom take
prominent part In trading. Rock Island

Central nearly as much. Interborough-
Metropolitan stocks and bonds developed
strength, Mackay company was decidedly
weak, although II recovered most OF It's

unusual interest on this, the last loaning

CATrLE-Cattle receipts today num-
bered only slxty-three cars, making the
total for the week to date 1888 head, an
increase of $500 head as compared with
last week and OF $500 head as compared
with the same period year ago.
Receipts this week having been so lib
eral II was apparent this morning that
packers were not in need of any great
number OF additional cattle this week,
very hard to secure anything unless II
was something very desirable. The result
was a slow trade on beef steers, but
that. however, Is nothing unusual on a
Friday when the trade Is never expected
to be anything more than dull or tndif-
ferent. The prices paid ranged from
steady to a little easier, some of the
same cattle that were here yesterday
selling SC lower today.
Cows and heifers did not present any
especially new or interesting features.
The prices were steady or nearly steady
in many cases, although the tendency, II
anything, was little easier.
There were no stockers or feeders OF
any consequence in sight and not enough
TO make a test Of the market, but the
feeling was about steady.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Conservative Dealers in Wheat Are
Friendly to Buying Side.
CORN SHORTS HEAVY BUYERS
Some Reports OF Private settlements

Eases the Market to
some Extent.

OMAHA, Dec. =. 1911
Conservative dealers in wheat are
friendly to the buying side because the
market has held firm in face OF the bear
ish conditions In the northwest and the
most flattering Argentine reports. The
feeling Is that Il will be easier to advance
values after the new year opens, espe-
cially should any decline come today or
tomorrow. The advance In corn was a
real help In strengthening wheat.
Some reports OF private settlements in
December corn contracts yesterday eased
that market. But shorts were the heavy
buyers today that cent values sharply
higher. There Is a very friendly feeling
among buyers for a long pull on any
material break IN deferred futures.
Wheat held firm and advanced with
corn, showing a good tone. Cash wheat
was firm and unchanged.
Corn advanced sharply on shorts cow
ering, owing Go the light receipts aid
poor weather conditions. Cash corn was
unchanged.
Primary wheat receipts were AL 600

Primary corn receipts were 24l00 bush
