SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
We think we have the best and
most varied program the fair has
ever offered something to please
all tastes. No expense has been
spared to get the very best kind of
attractions in all lines-clean, whole
some, attractive entertainment that
is SURE to be on hand and is abso-
Iutely guaranteed to give satisfac-
ton Come both days-you can't see
it all in one.
FOUR VAUDEVILLE ACTS.
Our four vaudeville acts are guar
anteed to please. We secured them
from the International Theatrical Co.
of Chicago, the largest booking agen-
cy in the country. 1t is the same
agency that furnished our acts last
year, which is a guarantee of good
quality Nellie Burger, lately with
Barnum & Bailey's Circus, gives two
separate and distinct acts Roman
rings and cOntortion. Eiler's Train
ed Animals goats, monkeys, and
2 dogs-is an act that will provide a
great deal of amusement for the chill
dren as we'll as the older people. The
LaJoe Troupe of Cyclists ladies
tons of the season. There are three
attractive young ladies who perform
the most difficult feats gracefully and
with seeming ease, and two athletic
men who combine strength and equi-
librium to the very limit. Most of
their work is done on unicycles- a
machine built like a bicycle except
that it has only one wheel All these
acts are beautifully and appropriately
costumed. They will be given on
the large PLATFORM directly across
the track from the amphitheater.
BASEBALL.
Mt. Hope, Bloomington and Prairie
du CHEN have the best baseball
teams in this part of the state, and
some good games are sure to result,
as the purses are liberal and there
is much rivalry between the teams
Our baseball diamond is directly a.
cross the track from the amphithea
ter, so you can witness all games
and be comfortable
TWO BRASS BANDS.
Music by two bands-the Bloom
ington Concert Band of Is pieces and
the Brooks Stock Co. Band of 10 pie
ces. Both are extra good bands, and
there will be plenty of music all the
time
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE SPEECH.
Miss Alice B. Curtic, formerly of
the Milwaukee Normal school, will
speak in favor of equal suffrage in
front of the amphitheater on Thurs
day at 1 o'clock p. M Miss Curtis
is an exceptionally able speaker
and it is hoped she will be heard
by large audience.
THE MIDWAY.
We have the assurance of an ex-
ira large midway this year, with a
steam merry gO-round, several side
shows, plenty Of refeshment stands,
lunch stands etc.
EATING AND DRINKING.
Good warm meals served in the
dining hall by the ladies of the Bap-
fist church. Plenty of water from
two good wells.
THE EXHIBITS.
The prospects are good for an I'M
usually large exhibit in all depart
ments this year If you have any
thing worthy that is mentioned in
the premium list bring or send it
along. 1t costs nothing to enter ex-
cept in stock classes, and the fee in
these classes is merely nominal.

this part Of the state, and are build
ng fine new hog house containing
40 pens, with cement floor under all
