Spouse to the request for funds
with which to improve social and

Universal motherhood" is an
other way of saying self-preser-
walton. It's the keynote to the
new reform which leaves no dirty
corners of neglect through which
disease may creep into the very
center Of civilization and mock

homes.
Universal motherhood is the
sane solution of the health prob

Animals Get The

In some respects circus bears
resemblance to an opera troupe.
AT least, no opera company takes
better care of its sters than do the
managers of circus. When
the Barnum and Bailey circus
comes to Tacoma, Friday, August
23r, the herd of three CRATES,
and Chimmie Fadden, the re-
markable chimpanzee, will be
found in charge of a valet.
Andrew Zingara, valet, sees to
it that Chimmie's tobacco is prop
erly kept, and that the oats are
poured down Bumbeeno's long
neck lengthwise and not cross
wise.

OF BUSINESS.
It's not much of a jump from
bibles to mothers, and so it Is,
perhaps, that Henry Neil, rich
publisher of biblical literature,
has become the greatest cham
pion OF mothers to be found In
the United States today-a cham
pion who is doing little talking
and very great deal of acting.
Neil, whom they call out in Illi-
nois, the father of the mothers
pension act, Is the first man who
came to believe that every state
in this union ought to pay all de-
pendent mothers specified sum
each year upon which to rear
their children, thus putting a
check upon institution-bred chill
dren, who, he declares, never
reach their full powers because
of the lack of mother love.
God never meant that little
children should be brought up In
big groups like fields Of cab
bages,v says Nell. "else he
wouldn't have given them moth

Fire at Fair Grounds.

Shortly after three O'Clock yester-
day afternoon dense volumes OF smoke
were seen rising above the Fair
Grounds in the Northwester;y corner
along State Street. Soon red flames
were shooting up and any doubt that
might have existed as to its being .
confsgration we're rapidly dispelled.
William n. Gieseke who was on his
way TO the cemetery, ran back % soon
as he saw the fire and turned In 40
alarm. When the fire department got
out there, the cattle barns were beyond
saving, and they bent their efforts
toward saving the horse barns and
succeeded in doing that. The csttle
barns and the fence alongside burned
to the ground, entsiling loss OF
several hundred dollars to the Agri-
cultural Society. This will he IN sb-
col ute loss, because the Association
carried no insurance whatever. The
origin of the fire is unknown. It may
have been incendiary but it is more
likely that small boys unintentionally
set fire to the place while playing on
the premises.

smaller cities. ...
The number of exhibits this year
in grains, vegetables and fruits was
smaller than that of last year. What
was exhibited, however, was OF q
higher order than is usual. The year
was one of luxuriant growth In near
ly all lines of vegetation and larger,
finer specimens were shown. The
apple yield this fall is very light but
plums are plentiful and Of excellent
quality and there were many OF them
displayed. Among the apples were
numerous fine specimens.
The Pioneer Nursery had pleas
ing display of flowers, berries. grapes
and other fruits and the Minnesota
Seed Company's booth showing the
seeds they deal in was interesting
and attractive. The various hardware
stores nearly all had exhibits, Retz-
Ian showing separators, the New Ulm
Hardware Company ranges and Engel-
bert Brothers, enameled ware. Win
kelmann's player-pianos were q point
of attraction. In the center of the
building was stand bearing bouquets
of flowers, several growing plants and
here the jellies, pickles and preserves
were placed.
The Universal Cement, Blaugas and
the Vacuum Cleaners were other ex-
hibits noticed.
The farmers of Brown and Nicollet
seem to have been so busy harvesting
their bumper crops that they had no
time to bring in specimens of what
they had garnered or of their live
stock. There were entries in all
classes but in some they were few in
number. Several fine groups of cat
tie were exhibited, there being one
from A. A. Backer's herd Of Guern-
seys and another from the Riverside
Farm, the latter being Herefords. Ed.
Hensel exhibited a herd of Guernseys
and Otto Wiedenmann one of Short
Horns. The $4,000 Silver Cup has not
as yet been awarded, as several
points must be taken into considera-
ton and the matter has not been fully
settled. There were several entries
of draft horses. The poultry exhibits
included birds from the pens of nearly
all our poultry fanciers, there being
81 entries. There were two entries
of swine and ten of sheep.

Steals From Employer.

A hole in sack filed with wheat
which he had stolen from his employ
ers, the New Ulm Roller Mill Co., last
Monday night led to Anton Maids
undoing. When Maidl went home
that night he was taking with him q
sack OF wheat, all unconscious that
the grain was slowly trickling out OF
the hole to the ground making q tell.
tale track leading from the mill to his
house on Garden Street.
Many of those, smcug them the
writer, who saw that wheat path
Tuesday morning, in their inmost
hearts commiserated with. the poor
fellow who had had the misfortune to
lose 80 much wheat on his way home,
never dreaming that It Was stolen
wheat. To the mill.owners 1t looked
different because it started st their
mill and Henry Engel, the head miller
and Chief Klause followed the trail
which led to the house Of the com
pany's fireman and night watchmsn'
At first Maidl denied having taken
the grain from the company's elevator
claiming that what he took home was
the sweepings from the wheat cars
But he saw that this story would
hardly hold water and he then con-
fessed having taken wheat from the
mill not only on Monday night bu'
also on q previous night. His wife
told the same story, 90 the mil
officials felt sure enough of the gull
OF their employe that they felt no com
junction in Immediately dischargine
him.
They considered losing bis jot
severe enough punishment for Maid
and refused to make complaint agains
him and if their wishes had been con
suited in the matter no criminal pro
ceedings would have been commenced
against the self-confessed wheat thief
The matter was, however, reported tc
Co. Attorney Erickson when be va.
in the city Thursday and he thought
it best to have Maidl charged with
petit larceny and he had him arrested
on the charge of having stolen sack
of wheat. Upon being brought before
Justice Henningsen, Msidl plead
guilty and was fined $1,000 and costs
amounting to 1896, which he paid
whereupon he was discharged.
