ATTRACTION FOR
OUR Big FAIR
Contract Signed for La Fiesta
Carnival Company
SPLENDID BAND
WILL FURNISH MUSIC
tions in Addition to good Racing
and Amusement Program

There will be something doing
at the big fair next September ac-
cording to the report of Secretary
Hall, who says contract has Just
been closed with the La Fiesta
Carnival company for their at
fractions. This company was at
the state fairs of both Utah and
Idaho last year and are engaged
to return this year, which is GER
tainly n good endorsement for
the merit of their shows and at
fractions.
The La Fiesta Carnival COM
pany has contracted to furnish
their band of 25 pieces for the en-
tire four days of the fair and also
four big free attractions which
will be pulled off in front of the
amphitheatre. These acts include
a swimming act of Miss Laganour,
who will appear in glass tank II
feet long and Ia feet deep, hold
ing l500O gallons of water; the
Melvern troupe of acrobats; Mad
am Zapp with her four snow white
Arabian stations, and Zouave
drill team of l6 men.
These acts will be additional at
fractions to the usual good racing
and amusement program, aud
everyone is said to be strictly first
class. The twelve shows carried
by the carnival company are also
good ones. The main tent is 100
by rs feet and will contain a
"happy family" Of rare animals
and birds, with other things
novel and instructive.
The band will probably give a
morning concert in addition to
playing during the amusement
program.
Premium Lists Ready
The premium lists-a product
of the Enterprise printery-are
now in the hands of Secretary
Hall and ready for distribution.
There are $500 copies of the book
this year and we are personally
patting ourselves on the back for
the promptness with which we
handled the big job, the last of
the copy being received Oh July
IL and the completed lists being
ready for delivery on July l6.
Many additional premiums are
this year offered by the association
ten extra pages being required to
list the prizes. Last year the to-
tai premiums offered numbered
1882, while this year the number
has been inceased to 2740 and
there has been a corresponding
increase in the amount of prem
iums in many classes, the total
amounting to some 5000 in in
creaed prizes.
1t certainly looks as if the
twenty-frst fair of the Arkansas
Valley Fair Association to be
given Sept. 3 to Is. will be better
than ever, not only in the showing
of the exhibits aud live stock, but
also in racing program and other
amusements.

Heine and London.

Heine did not like London. but the
London county council likes Heine
for the passer-by is now reminded by
the usual encaustic tile that the poet
once lived in Craven street, Strand
AS he looked out of his lodging Heine
exclaimed, Send a philosopher tc
London, but no poet. This downright
earnestness of all things; this colos
sal uniformity, this machine1ike

pleasure, this exaggerated London
smothers the imagination and rends
the heart" But If Heine did not love
London he found something within
easy reach to warm the imagination
and fire the heart-the chalk cliffs

awaiting him he suggested the name
Kenesaw Mountain. That is how my
brother, who has become more or less
noted as a judge, came to be named.
But it was not that incident that
made my Christmas so memorable.
Kenesaw was a baby. l had other

Child BY the Famous vlollnlst's
Daughter.

of Mrs. Vaughan. and he and Miss
Amelia Shapleigh of West Lebanon,
Me. are co-trustees for Sylvia
Vaughan, the adopted daughter Of Mrs
Vaughan and the principal beneficiary
under Mrs. Vaughan's will
The reason that the will of Mrs.
Vaughan is to be offered for record in
Bergen is that the only foreign real
estate which she possessed is the
Island of Lysoen, near Bergen ole
Bull owned this island, which is said
to be one of the most beautiful in the
world II is in a ford about twenty
two miles from Bergen, and consists
of about seven hundred acres of land
largely forest. Ole Bull in his life
time developed two fresh water lakes
and a cave and laid out twenty miles
of paths on the island.
Lysoen was left by Mrs. Vaughan to
the little Swiss girl. Sylvia, whom she
adopted a couple of years ago, but on
Sylvia's death Lysoen is to be pre-
served by the Norwegian government
as a memorial to Ole Bull

followed in Norway with respect &c
the case is a matter Of uncertainty, be
