Everything in Readiness for
Opening Of Fair 80 Fill

With the completion last week oi
tire three new buildings which will
house exhibits at the county fair to
be held at Electric park OCTOBER d
to - inclusive, AMI with the asser-
ton today by Secretary J. +. Calder
that more buildings. including d
structure for the horse show. and a
machinery hall, will be built. the little
fair city is beginning to assume large
proportions. and yesterday the
grounds where visited by large
number of people from both Aber-
deem and Hoquiam.
According to a statement today
from Secretary Calder, some of the
finest bred live stock in the state
will be exhibited during the four fair
days.
The enries for all exhibits will not
close until Tuesday noon. October I.
On this date the Northern Pacific

care for the business for that day.
Excellent progress is reported by
the superintendent of the various ex-
hibits. One if the finest collections
of grass, fruit, and garden specimens

exhibited and there is every reason
to believe that the fair will be a
grand success in every way.
To Display Fill Produce
One of the unique features of the
fair will be the exhibit of produce
raised in the fill district of Aberdeen
For reason of the many predictions
during the early spring that it would
be impossible to raise garden truck
and flowers on any potrion of the
fill district. considerable interest has
been manifested in the work of gath
ering exhibits.
n. p. Bryan, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce and who is in a
large way responsible for this novel
feature of the fair, urges co-opera-
ton of every resident of the district
who has been successful in raising
vegetables or flowers on soil from
the river bed. Those who have ,eX-
hibits are requested to leave them
with Mr.. Bryan in the City Retail
Lumber company's office, corner II
and Wishkah streets.

NEEDED AT
WHITE STAR MILL

ELMA, Sept. 2S.-The officers of
the Star Lumber company and the
people who live at or near the mill
are doing all they can to induce the
government to establish a postoffice
at the Whites. At present the mail
for the mill and the people there
comes to Elma and has to be sent
up on the gas car by some on kind
enough to take it along with him.
This is inconvenient for the company
and the workers at the mill.
In short time a new rural route
will take in the White Star. but
then that will be unsatisfactory to
the company since it will take three
days to send a letter to Tacoma and
get an answer in reply. There are
enough people around the mill to
warrant the establishment of post
office and it will probably be estab.
lished If the government is kept af-
ter in the matter.

DAMAGE SUIT
LOST BY CITY
Superior Court Gives Dan
McCillicuddy Damages
for Land

AS the result of suit filed sever
al months ago in the superior court
by the city of Aberdeen on petition
of property owners affected, asking
for the condemnation of property BE-
tween Eighth street and Division
street, the superior court has award
ed damages totaling $2,917 against the
city.
The matter in reference to the prop
erty was first brought before the city
council by A. l.. Davenport, Robert
Poison and others who own proper
ty in that addition. 1t was under
stood, they said, that when the prop
erty was purchased street connect
ing Eighth street with Division street,
would be opened. A small strip of
land, said to be owned by Dan McGill-
icuddy blocked the proposed street,
and the owner positively refused to
allow the street to be opened through
his tract.
The ruling of the court in this case
means that a street will be opened
connecting Eighth with Division. The
cost of the action, together with the
amount of damages, will be borne pro
rata by interested property owners.

that but 232 of them were dismissed

local bankers now doing time, says the
New York correspondent Of the Gin

a caller, who had been of service dur
ing the trial. The caller had learned
to regard the rugged financier with an
affection which was not reciprocated.
Il want to see Mr.. Banker" said the
caller to a keeper.
Write your name on card and I'll
take 1t in," said the keeper.
And what do you think" said the
caller to a friend, on his return to the
city. That keeper brought my card
back to me- Sorry. sir said he. but

onions he was carrying at the door,

THE WORD MELoDRAMA.

Originally Meant Play In Which Mu'
sic Was introduced.
Nowadays "melodrama" Is In gene
raj use as denoting purely sensa-
tional play, with an all but impossible
hero, heroine and villain among the
characters represented. Formerly the
word kept more closely In It's signiica-
tion to actual derivation. "Melodra-
ma" is compounded Of the Greek words
melos, q song, and drama, an action,
a play, and was applied to two sorts
of performances when 1t first came In
to use.
1t signified play. generally Of the
romantic school, in which the dialogue
was frequently relieved by music,
sometimes Of incidental and sometimes
of purely dramatic character. On the
strength OF his "Pygmalion" ]. J. Rons-
seau is credited with the invention OF
this style. Some Of the so-called
English operas Of the older school.
such as the once famous "Beggar's
Opera" and the once popular mo
Song, No Supper" are in reality true
melodramas.
In the second place "meiodrama'
was applied to a peculiar kind Of the
atrical composition In which the actor
recited his part in an ordinary speak
ing voice, while the orchestra played
q more or less elaborate accompani-
ment appropriate to the situation and
calculated to bring Its salient features
into the highest possible relief. The
merit of the invention of this descrip-
ton of melodrama belongs to George

MED the allegations, and said in his coun-
ter suit that his wife is inordinately Jeal-
Gus and has violent temper. He stated
that on one occasion at dinner In their
Philadelphia home his wife threatened
him with carving knife. His wife also
broke up q tea party in Philadelphia by
provoking a quarrel with Mrs. Tillman.
In 1902 his wife. he says, went to New
York and stopped at the Waldorf-Asto-
ria, and a friend telegraphed him that
his wife was posing for picture. lie
came to New York and found her with
an artist named Terry. who addressed
her Familiarity. The picture the artist
painted was shipped to him, but he re-
fused to receive II. The charge was
$500. He said his wife used to bolt
the front door and mufie the bell so he
could not get in his home without arous-
ing the neighborhood. The finale came
when Mrs. Dudley locked her door
against her husband, on January 8, 1905.
Then they parted.
On cross-examination Dudley said he
refused the portrait Of his wife because
the drapery scarcely covered her limbs.
The case will continue to-day.
