THE PEARL RIVER ELECTION.

The people of Pearl River are in
somewhat of middle in regard to
their late municipal election. 1t
seems that the law is not specific
in regard to the PRONUNCIATION of the
election which was ordered by the,
council. The matter was taken to
the district court and was finally set
tied by an order that the council and
the supervisors of election act to-
gether. 1t is understood that they
will meet to-day for this purpose.
There is no contest of the election;
simply question as to the authority
to promulgate. The election was
VERY close, three councilmcn receiv-
ing nineteen votes each and the can
didates for mayor being but several
votes apart. Three votes were pro-
tested at the time they were cast
and have af1ldavits attached. The
decision as to the legality of these
votes may throw the election one
way or the other.

1t was thought that questions with
out answers would not interest the
general public but there are over q
thousand leading newspapers using
the Linscott Questions in America
which have proved to the contrary,
and people seem to get as much in
terest in the great practical prob
lens of life from their own think
ing, as stirred by these questions, az
they do from reading learned books
on philosophy and theology. These
questions appear in these columns
every week.

STATE FAIR PARK A
PLACE Of BEAUTY
Iowa is Prepared to Welcome the
Great Crowds and Show Them a
Beautiful State Fair Equipment.

A visit to the State Fair park a
few days ago disclosed the fact that
some unusual transformations are
being made at the fair grounds pre-
vious to the next State Fair, Aug.
% to 80. The park is indeed beau
tiful place, and handsome this
year than ever before, because the
trees, flowers and grass are all at
their best.
The visitors will enter the Fair
this year at a new street car en-
trance, very much more convenient
than the old one, with better OPP
portunity for loading and unload
Ing cars without erowding. The
old street car station will be used
for the dog show this year.
The most prominent work being
done on the grounds this zee is
that of building bleacher seats in
front of the race track, 81 as to
double the seating capacity. These
bleacher seats will be free to all
those who have paid to enter the
paddock, and they will be the best
seats of any in good weather.
Iowa cattle and horses will have
quarters as cheerful and light as a
hotel dining room this year. All of
the barns have been sprayed with
cold water paint, and are light and
airy. This will be appreciated by
exhibitors and visitors.
The decoration of the halls and
the tables will be carried out more
effectively than ever before. The
contract has been entered into for
the buildings to be decorated with
flags and bunting and pictures of
the main halls, and they will pre-
sent a beautiful appearance at the
time Of the State Fair.
Fred H~ethershaw has been engag-
ed to prepare the, grain decoration
for the tables in Agricultural Hall,
In which these farm exhibits are
placed, and also decorations for the
band stands, which makes the cen
ter piece for this building, all to be
done in sheaves of wheat, grain and
grasses. This will add decidedly to
the. .attractiveness of the building.
The new horse barn is nearly fin
ished, and this almost doubles the
barn capacity. A cement floor has
been laid in Machinery Hall, which
will be greatly appreciated by the
exhibitors. The camp grounds have
been r~esurveyed and laid out in
streets and blocks, with additional
supplies of water and lights. The
!! midway for the location of small
shows has been put to the east of
the race track, on ground formerly
used by the implement companies.
A number of individual new build
ings are going up, and the State
Board of Agriculture is making lib
eral use of paint. On the whole, the
improvements at the State Fair
grounds this year will compare fav-
orably with those of other years.

Sition at the Metcalf Department
