one held his horse and the other pulled
q gun on him and emptied the con-
tents of his capscious pockets, five
cents in cash, q plug OF chewing
tobacco and q pocket knife at the feet
of the gentlemen of the road.
This was, no doubt, more than the
gentlemen expected as they refused to
take 1t oil with them and handed the
goods back to Mr.. Metzen in true
Western chivalrous fashion. This

sition will be not only first among the
fairs of the United States In stten-
dance and gate receipts, but It will be
first as an exhibition Of live stock,
soil products and manufactured ar-
ticles. It will be Q mirror of the
states resources and . short course In
agriculture and stock raising, . place
where every one can learn something
and at tho Same time b roy ally enter-
tsined.
The changes that will be apparent at
Hsmline in September seem ~ have
been demanded By the people. They
have been made because they seemed
for the institutions best interest and
were Necessary to its permansncy.
Tho verdict Of the people will hass
been given when the gates are closed
on Sept 9th. Don't fail to b on the
jury and have . voice in deciding this
all important subject.
People can travel to the Minnesots
State Fair from all over the North
west for one and one.half cents . mile.
The railroads have all made rate OF
one fare for the round trip to the Twin
Cities, beginning August 9th, and
lasting for week after the fair Is
over.
This is better rate than state fair
visitors have been used to, even when
the railroads were operating under
the old two-cent-a-mile law. This re-
duced fare makes q trip to the Twin
Cities the first of September more at
tractive than any other time during the
year. People can come to the cities
cheaper, do their shopping, see all
that the cities have to offer and at the
same time visit the greatest state fair
in the United States for less money
than they could make 3 trip to the
cities at any other time of the year.

WORLDS NERylEsT GIRL
Young french Woman Risks Life
n New Circus Thriller.

Inc mOUv O8U&0rOu0 0uO t0EC4uO Va
CIRCUS thrillers ts being pressated this
season With tho Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Bros. circus BY : young French
woman, Mile Mariet Petrot. Seated
In : heavy automobile she makes .
terrific dash down . steep incline, the
car and the rider then lesping high
into the air and making two complete
somersaults in space before lighting
on spring platform fifty feet away.
The danger of the act is apparent to
all beholders. AS the car makes its
frightful leap into space, tragedy
seems inevitable. The first turn Is
made in safety, but this only intenst-
fies the suspense. For the fraction Of
second the automobile pauses in the
air, bottom up, as though its energy
were already spent. This for the
audience is the critical moment and
many avert their eyes, death to the
brave young woman seeming certain.
AS gracefully as bird wings its way
across meadow the second somer-
sault is turned and with heavy crash
the car hits the platform.
This is but one of many sensational
numbers with the show. The Ty. Bell
sisters from France, are presenting an
aerial spectacle known as the Human
Butterfly" act. It is fully as danger
Gus and it has great beauty as we'll.
Among the trained animal numbers
are two troupes of riding, Juggling
and musical seals. Prof. Taylor's 8
monkey circus and the three best
trained herds of elephants in the
world.
The big circus will be seen in New
Ulm on Sat. Sept. 8, giving two per.
formances which in every detail will
be the same as those presented in
New York City where this show is
considered the pattern for all. The
parade to be given in the forenoon is
q great moving worlds exposition.
1t is three miles in length and the
entire equipment is new.
There are $50 artists with the show,
gathered from the four corners Of the
earth. There are riders from Arabia,
acrobats from Italy, equilibrists from
France, gymnasts from Germany,
| jugglers from India. aerialists from
Russia, clowns from Persia, animal
trainers from Africa and bslancers
from Japan. There are Cossacks,
Australian bushmen, Saharan won
derworkers, Roman charioteers,
Spanish toreadores and hippodrome
racers and contestants from many
savage and civilized lands. Novelty
is the keynote of the big show.
Every thing has been done to give the
circus an entirely different aspect
from the circuses of the past. In this
effort the management has been most
successful.

McGregor. Dec. 2.-Mystery sur
rounds the report of the death by
hanging Of George F. Kurzrock. About
seven weeks ago he sold mis- farm here
for cash. and taking the money with
him started for Human, Ohio. stating
to some OF his friends that he was go

was In good health and fine spirits
when no left here. The report says
that he was found hanging in q shed
at West Pennington. Ohio.
Kurxrock was Is years Of age. never

first time he ever was ON a railroad
train. He had $4,000 on his person.
mostly in cash but some in draft.
He had not been heard from until this
message in an indirect way was re-
ceived here. His friends consider 1t
a decidedly strange affair and are anx-

NEW BAGGAGE REGULATIONS.

Not Expected to 90 in Effect Until July
Shove Hit Hardest.
Sioux City, Dec. 2-While the gen.
eral public is expecting radical changes
to be made in the regulations regarding
the size of pieces to be accepted by the
baggage companies, the Sioux City
agents have received no information.
that the change is to take place on Jan
I. On the contrary. they have been
advised that the new ruling twill not
go into effect until July 1, 1912. After
that date the baggage agents will carry
tape measures in their pockets and
large pieces of baggage will be charged
for at so much per inch.
At the present time the show COM
panies are making the loudest COM
plants against the proposed ruling.
Their protests are even stronger than
those being made by travelling sales
men. 1t probably will have a greater
effect on them than on any other class.
Under the new ruling, 1t will be neces-
sary for the show manager to pay ex-,
cess for every inch exceeding the max

would apply to scenery, properties and

Special vs. Times Republican.
HAMPTON. Dec. Mrs. Rozilla Benz
er Kron was born at Chesterville. O..
June IL, 1912. and died at the family
home in Reeve township Thursday
morning. Nov. 80. Mrs. Kron had been
i'll for some time but 1t was not thought
that her sickness would terminate in
her death and the end consequently
was a shock to her relatives and
friends The family came to this coun-
ty in 1877, and settled on the farm In
Reeve township that has been owned
by them ever since, and where she
passed away.
Two children. Mrs. Myrtle b. Miller
Of Lansing. Iowa, and Fred j. Kron. OF
Reve township, were present during
their mothers last sickness.
The funeral services were conducted
this afternoon. at the residence. by
Rev. James. Thomson. and burial was
in the cemetery in this city.
The circumstances Of Mrs. Kron's
death at this time are especially sad
by reason of the fact that Mr.. Kron
has been home from the Rochester,
Mimi, hospital but a few days, having
been obliged to submit to a serious
operation there, and he has not fully
recovered from its effects.

The town property value was fixed at
