Montclair is not d residential town with
vigorous business centres catering wholly
TO the man Of large means.
The school facilities of the town ar. ..
re greatly enlarged by the building o.

ness Of this undertaking may be had fror,
the fact that this school building Will be
as large as the Albany High School. A.
bany has a population Of about 100 90 and
Montclair about 1900.
I'm 1903 Montclair had 1855 people. Ara
therefore it is now about one-half agai,
as large as it was eight years ago. Fen
other towns in the suburban area hsv.

: site is centrally located and easily reached

It was not known until the autopsy

that he had died from the effect of.
blow over the heart. The autopsy
disclosed the fact that his neck was
broken.
Pelkey delivered = stiff blow which
landed below the ear just before the
two clinched. This blow partly turned
McCarty's head and must have been
the one which dislocated his neck.
Apparently the new turn will make

Minnesota State Fair Time Rename
+, Unchanged.
st. Paul. May 27.-The Minnesota
state fair week in 1914 will be the
first week in September. Represen-
tatives of various state fair associa-
tons of the Middle West, after .
struggle with the problem Of altering
the date for the Minnesota fair, de-
cided that to do 50 would be to bring
about . detrimental conflict with
other fairs. ~ ......
The Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association had requested the
state fair board to set back the date
a week in order to give agriculturists
of the north, whose harvest Is slower
to ripen, an opportunity to get their
best products on exhibition.
Michigan would not yield its week,
third in September, and Wisconsin
and South Dakota, which hold fairs
the second week, would not consent
together to advance to the Michigan
week. Minnesota was reluctant to
enter into comrakttion with either
the South Dakota Wisconsin fairs.
and considered t. third week Of
September too late.
