About Judge Hanford.

ly assailed by socialists and others
throughout the Pacific coast states, the
decision of Judge G. H. Hanford of the
United States district court of Wash
ington, annulling the citizenship of
Leonard OLSON, because he is a social
list, tonight had attracted more discus.
sion than any decision in many years.
Judge Hanford was denounced as
crazy with stand-patism," and as "a
survivor of the dark ages. His decis-

.'far worse than the 'Dred Scott de-
cision'" In his decision Judge Han

RIoht Man at the Right TIme.

The task of securing options on this
tract, lying as it is close to the city
and very valuable. was not an easy
one. But the right man for the work
was found. 1t was assigned to w. N.
Sage who secured the options within
a few weeks and at o'clcck Satur-
day afternoon turne over the last
one to the Industrial Association. Mr..
Sage found ready cooperation on
the part of the land owners and re-
ports that they made fair price for
their holdings. The purchase was the
only thing that could have been done.
The topography around Keokuk is
such that the land secured was essen
tial to the carrying out OF the factory
and belt line plan. The location is
ideal for the purpose. 1t possesses
the advantages that are needful and
Mr.. Sage certainly put over a clever
and prompt piece of work when he
finished UP his task late Saturday
afternoon.

Prominent Sharpsburg Boy Killed.

Thomas Crockett, one of the
most prominent young men in
Sharpsburg, was instantly killed
Friday afternoon when a thresher
engine exploded, the cause of
which is unknown. A remarkable
fact in connection with the sad ac-
cident was that thirty people were
nearer the thresher than Crockett
and all were uninjured.
Mr.. Crockett was well known in
this city, where he was a frequent
visitor, and had numerous friends
who were grieved to learn of the
sad accident.

Wednesday and Thursday of this
week the Mt. Sterling Orphans
will hook up for two games with
the Lexington Colts and two good
games are expected. The Orphans
have not played at home for several
days on account of the fair and it
is hoped that large crowd will be
present to encourage the boys.
Wednesday has been designated
as Boosters Day and everybody is
urged to buy a boosters ticket, 90

team. Several new players have
been added to the team and it is
now thought that Mt. Sterling has
one of the best teams in the league
and that with the proper encour-
agement and support the team will
be winning one.
Those who have not contributed
toward the support of the team
now have the opportunity to help,
and it is hoped that our citizens
will show their loyalty by buying
a boosters ticket. Let's all get
together and pull for the home
team.

LARGE
CROWDS
Attend the Great Mont
gOmery County Fair.
Closed Saturday.
The Weather Was Ideal and the
Show Rings Unsurpassed.

The fourth annual fair of the
Montgomery County Fair Associ-
alton was brought to a close in this
city Saturday afternoon. The
weather during the entire week
was ideal, the crowds, although not
as good as last year, were large,
Thursday and Saturday being the
banner days. The races and show
rings were probably the finest that
will be seen at any county fair in
the State this season.
The fair, taken as a whole, was
the best one ever held in this city,
and too much credit cannot be
given President Thompson, .Secre-
tary Hamilton, Assistant Secretary
Wood and the members of the
board of directors. all of whom
worked Increasingly for the sue
cess of the fair.
The first day of the fair Mt.
Sterling horses we're returned the
winners of both races. Orphan
Boy, the splendid three-year-old
PAGER, owned by John M. Barnes,
of this city. and trained and driven
by Warren Bacon, of Paris, won
the three-year-old pace in straight
heats. Neva Todd, that consistent
trotter of Jas. r. Magowan's, was
returned the winner of the 2:17
trot after losing the first heat.

most interesting ever seen in this
city and again local horses tri-

Walsh Co., Mr.. r. P. Walsh re-
firing from the firm and Mr.. j. j.

the same high class lines as here
tofore, and the new company will

large patronage enjoyed by the
former partnership.

ed by Ricketts, 6 Mccormick and
driven by Chas. Bean, won the
2:25 trot after Mary Brown, that
fast trotter of Fl. L. Horine's, had
won the first two heats. Peter
Mccormick displayed a great deal
of endurance and is a colt of much
promise, by that great sire Peter
the Great, and is sure to be heard
from later in the racing season. In
the free-for-all pace Albert o.,
owned by p. l.. Hensley, of this
city, and driven by III. l.. HORNE,
of Lexington, was returned the
winner, with Ethel Grant second.
Splendid time was made in this
race, one heat being paced by
Albert o. in 2:12t, which is within
quarter of a second of the track
record. This is equal to about
2:08 on a mile track, and when
going good you can always bet
that Albert o. will get part of the
money.
Saturday in the 2:40 trot Peter
Mccormick and Mary Brown again
hooked up, this time Mary Brown
being returned the winner, much
to the disappointment of the ad-
mirers of the local horse.
The show horses were many and
unsurpassed in beauty and action.
Shropshire & Matlack, of Win
chester, had decidedly the classiest
stable on the grounds and carried
off a majority of the blues. Hazel
Dawn was the queen of the stable
and was admired as few horses
have ever been before in this city.
The horses of the following gentle
men made excellent showing in
their respective classes:
Collins & Redmond, McCray
Bros, G. B. Dale, j. G. johnson,
Speakes Bros, Ray Moss, Arnold
Hart, Bridges Bros, A. G. Jones,

WORKED THE DIPLOMAT.
The Part a Chinese Minister Played as
a Press AGENT.


When WI Ting Fang was minister
from China at Washington he was the
most curious man in the diplomatic
corps. He would go any place to see
anything. There was rundown sub
urban resort near the capital In hard
luck. Everybody would go of evenings
to a rival resort on the same trolley
line mile or two beyond it. The re-
sort hired a publicity agent AID told
him to drum up trade. The press gen
ius got a private car and invited Mr..
WI and his family and suit to spend
an evening ut the resort. which was
painted in marvellous colors. WI ac-
cepted and took the whole legation
out, and they were entertained at din
ner. While the Chinese guests were
dining the publicity man put leather
lunged barker, with a megaphone, on
the platform. and when the trolley
cars, loaded to the guards with people
for the rival place stopped, the barker
bawled out:
Come in and see WI Ting Fang,
the Chinese minister. and his suit.
They are in oriental costumes. They
are eating with chopsticks."
The people piled off the cars, and
that night Mr. WI was the center of
the biggest crowd in the history of the
resort. The scheme turned the tide
for the rundown resort and it has
been prosperous ever since. But Mr..
WI went back to China without ever
discovering the part he had played as
a press agent-New York World.
