Champ Clark was defeated. The
Missouri voter apparently holds a
grudge for a long time and, angry
because their favorite son was not
Nominated, many Of the democrats
will not vote for Wilson.
The division has carried itself into
the state camp. Governor Hadley,
himself an ardent Roosevelt supporter
before the Chicago convention, has
Endorsed the regular state ticket, but
has not announced himself on ma
tional issues. John G. Mckinley,
nominated for governor on the re.
publican ticket, is a strong Taft man,
but has not the support OF all the
Taft leaders. On the other hand
Elliott w. Major, democratic nominee
and present attorney general, who
received the nomination only after a
careful recount Of the primary bal
lots, has incurred the displeasure OF
the old guard democrats and may ex
pect to be literally knitted at their
hands.
Truly, Missouri will be a factor this
fall.

Leon, besides the loss of the $10t

turned in the alarm and then made
valiant effort to rescue the impris

such a stage that every avenue of er
trance into the barn, which was a new
small structure, had been closed. Hos
company No. 2 and the new auto fir

directed to check the flames fror

St Louis, No. Sept 2o.-Perhaps
in no state Of the union will national
and state questions be so closely
WATCHED during the present campaign
as in Missouri. Twice during the
past eight years this state has sprung
surprises when the votes were cast.
The first time was eight years ago,
when the Mysterious Stranger" made
his advent ald the republicans car
ried the state for the national tick
ct. The tide, however, was not
strong enough to carry the state
ticket and, as usual, democratic gov
ernor, Joseph w. Folk, was elected.
Four years ago Missouri stayed IN
the national republican column and
for the first time in 40 years elected
a republican governor. Herbert S.
Hadley.
What Missouri will do this year is
guess work. Roosevelt has always
been a strong favorite in the state
and his supporters are legion. AS a
result there will be a big split in the
republican ranks. On the other hand,
the democrats will be split because

All trains going into Marshfield
on Wednesday, August q, carried
many passengers, to witness the at
fractions in MarshfieId at the fair.
None of them came away disappoint-
ed. The aviation flight in the fore
noon, by Jimmie Ward, was a great
success, and pleased\everybody. The
races and excellent string of about
thirty horses that were present made
this feature of the fair an attractive
one and great success. The ex-
hibit of stock was good but the ex-
hibition of crops, vegetables, ETC., ),
was not as good as it would have
been had the fair been held a little
later. Early in the week, it looked
as if the fair might not be a sue
cess, on account of the large amount
of rain that had fallen for the past
two weeks, but it cleared up on Mon
day and Tuesday and left conditions
for Wednesday fairly good.
Many side attractions, carnival
features, ETC., kept the people busy,

We're all pretty well satisfied with
all the attractions and came home

GAME WON

SCORE z To 8

The Giants won the game by a
score of u to 8. 1t wasn't what we
would call a first class exhibition of
the National pastime. The first four
innings were a nightmare with the col
ored gemmen doing the ghost dance
on the collars of the Rapids team
And our boys did a little dancing
themselves in the second and fifth
landing three scores in the second
and five in the fifth. Felsch seemed
to take dislike to the balls the
friends of Jack Johnson batted to
him for he let five get away and
these bobbles did not add any mater
ial enthusiasm to the white hopes.
The brunettes seemed to have a fac
ulty of putting the pill Just out of
reach of the Rapids fielders. They
were extremely lucky in that res
pect which helped them to get some
of the runs. Booker T. Washington

4 HIGH CLASS
ENTERTAINMENT
Given by Miss Wedge, Miss

The opera house in this city was
not as well filled Friday night, Aug.
., as it should have been, to lis
ten to the excellent program that was
rendered by the Misses Wedge, Helm,
and KnolIer.
What the audience lacked in size
it made up in hearty appreciation of
the high class music that was render
ed by the young ladies.
Miss Hattie B. Helm Of Stevens
Point, opened the program with a pi-
ano solo entitled "Heriode EIegta-
que" by Franz Liszt, which was ex-
ceptionally well rendered and hearth
Iy encored by the audience.
Miss Mabel Manning Wedge Of
New York, appeared second on the
program and rendered four vocal so
los Come to the Garden of Love,
Light, "OnIy a Rose" and June
and was compelled to respond to
cordial encore several times. Miss
Wedge possesses a sweet voice and
she uses it with excellent effect
Third on the program was Miss
KnoIler's piano solo with orchestral
accompaniment on a second piano
by Miss Helm. This number was one
of the strong features of the even
ing's program, received many compli-
ments upon her wonderful technique
and Interpretation of the Concerto by
Saint-Sarns and an Allegro move
ment. The wonderful playing and
gracefuIness Of Miss KnoIler Won for
her hearty applause and the audience
insisted upon an encore.
The fourth number consisted OF
three solos for the violin by Miss
Helm, ''Serenade by Drdla, Humers-
que by Dvorak and Mazuurka by Wi
eniawskf'. She was accompanied up
on the piano by Miss KnoIIer. Miss
Helm showed a mastery over her in
strument and familiarity that re
presented excellent training. These
numbers were very cordially receiv-
ed and the performers received many
compliments. The program in its
entirety was high class music which
the appreciative audience enjoyed. /
The young ladies certainly indicate
remarkable talent in their respec-
tive lines which promises a bright
future for all of them
