Former visitors TO the South Dakota
State Fair who attend the 1914 EXPOSE
ton at Huron will be in a strange place
so far as the arrangement of the
grounds is concerned. State Engineer
IL. NJ. Derr has had the grounds re-
surveyed and replatted, which means
that the roads, alleys and all streets.
including Midway and Machinery Row
will all be differently located and ar.
ranged. The new plan will make all
parts of the grounds readily accessible,
while the artistic effect will be
strengthened. One new feature which

Third Street to Machinery Hall ana

now be located on Third Street with
up-to-date turnstile systems for foot
passengers and vehicles. Exits will be
located on Second and Fourth Streets
and the west end of Third Street.
Train entrances will remain as they
were last year. Automobiles will be
parked on the grounds on the south
side of Third Street and a short dis
lance from Maine Entrance, and be
guarded by detachments of the State
militia. State Fair buildings are being
repaired, and when the gates are open
ed on Monday. september IA, the whole
grounds will be spick and span. \
check room and Information Bureau
is being constructed near the entrance
for the convenience of fair visitors. A
new mess house will also be built for
the militia while engagements equival-
ent to two large barns will be made on
the swine buildings.

and then called up an insurance COM
pany and told them that the horses
had been struck by lightning. The In
surance adjuster went to Hanson's
farm, but could not locate where the
lightning had struck. After a sweat

animals.
The editor of an unknown exchange
says: 1t is always the one who cannot
write a four line local and spell every
word correctly, who makes fun of the
errors in the newspapers; it is usually
the fellow who couldn't run a store two
weeks without going into bankruptcy,
who feels competent to give the mer-
chants pointers on how to conduct
their business; and it is the folks who
couldn't make a public address even
if their lives depended upon it, who
find fault with the minister's sermons.
The reason is not hard to find. No man
knows how much brains it takes to do
these things until he tries it himself.

CHARACTER OF THE MEXICAN
REBEL LEADERS

Newspaper correspondents and
others who have recently been upon
the scene of the fighting in Mexico say
that in this country there has beer an
overemphasis of the Importance of
Villa. He is a man of great energy,
undoubtedly Of considerable executive
ability, and of unusual military skill.
He is. moreover, spectacular and pic
turesque, and is just the sort of leader
to get on the front pages of the news
papers. There are, however, other
Constitutionalist leaders, both civil
and military. of a very high type,
mich higher than Villa. With the ex-
ception of the latter, these leaders are
men of education. CarranZa himself
was Governor of Coahuila under the
Madero regime. He is surrounded by
other men of his own high standing
and education. Prominent among
these, we are told, are General Felipe
Angeles, Assistant Secretary of War
and Chief of Artillery, a man of high
character, and noted as a friend Of the
United States, and General Aware
Obregon who has had as unbroken
a series of successes as Villa, and is a
statesman as well as a military leader.
The victor of Monterey and Tampico,
General Pablo Gonzales, is also a man
of promise and there are many others
not forgetting the doughty Zapata,
who, though by report a bandit, has
cvinCed a good deal of military cap
acity and has been ~endeavoring to adj

err says DR.. c. c. Lipp of the State
College, n referring to special inyesti-
cations made by the L. ). Department
of Agriculture. Since this is the time
OF year when hog cholera spreads
rapidly from small isolated centers of
infection, DR.. Lipp urges all hog
raisers to be on their guard and do
everything possible TO prevent a recur-
rance of the losses of last year. He
makes the following suggestions: DO
not visit public stock yards or neigh.

known to exist. Do not allow neigh.

AS TO THE SUNDAY PAPERS

Our fellow Presbyterians in the gen
eral assembly have again condemned
many Sunday things, including even
Sunday newspapers, which distract the
minds of men who ought to be in re-
ligious mediations on that day. But it
might be better work to try to make
the Sunday papers better ones, for peo-
pie are going to read on Sunday what
has happened in the world on Satur-
day and Saturday night, no matter
how many resolutions may be passed.
The world now regards that as part of
it's freedom and the world never goes
backward in such matters. Let's make
the best of it.-Cedar Rapids Republi-

NORMA ALLEN MARRIED

From the Tacoma Daily Ledger of
the wedding of Miss Norma Allen, a
former Bookings girl whose friends
here will extend hearty good wishes.
The Ledger says:
In q veritable bower of flowers and
surrounded by friends and family
members, Miss Norma Allen, daughter
last evening married to Thaddeus
Grosscup, elder son of Mr.. and Mrs.
b. S. Grosscup. The ceremony took
place at the handsome home of the
brides parents, 1910 North Yakima
avenue, in the presence of several hun
dred guests and was one Of the most
notable of the summer bridals in Ia
coma society. Since the close of her
school days the bride has been a favor
tie in the younger set and is also a
member of the Junior Day Nursery
club, an exclusive little coterie of So
ciety girls who do much for charity.
Mr.. Grosscup has been one of the
prominent young bachelors and has re-
Gently taken over the management of
his fathers big ranch near K~ennewick,
where he will take his bride to I've.
The bridal appointments were excep-
tionally lavish and lovely and Mrs.
Mary Hayden was even more than
usually successful in the elaborate and
exquisite decorative motif. The draw
ing room, where the ceremony was per
formed, carried out the brides favor
lite colors, blue and white. A beautiful
altar and bower was fashioned before
the fireplace with a BACKGROUND of
palms and %greenery, among which
were arranged long sprays of white
lilies and bridal gladiOlas and blue
l%arkspur. From above a delicate ar
raneement of white satin ribbons form
ed a canopy, and at the sides oral pill
lars of loosely caught blossoms were
effective. 4 white satin altar rail
with blazing candles and decoration of
bridal lilies gave the ceremonial touch
TO the decorations. The room was a
bower of white lilies, gladiolas in
white, and corn flowers and larkspur
in blue, combining into an unusual and
a very beautiful decoration. The hall
was f~estooned with pink rambler and
gladiolas, combined with tulle and as
paragus fern. Deep crimson was used
in similar manner in the library and
the dining room was exquisite in a
color motif of pink. At the center of
the brides table a basket of pink sweet
peas and m~aidcnhair ferns stood ben
meath the chandelier that was yelled
in pink blossoms and asparagus fern.
Festoons of the delicate greenery were
caught to the corners of the room in a
canopy effect, and hanging baskets n
looped garlands hung against the
walls.
Before the entrance OF the bride,
Mrs. Sydney Anderson, with Mrs. Guy
Kelley at the piano, sang very sweetly
Loves Coronation" After the song
an orchestra played the Bridal Hymn"
from "Lohengrin" for the entrance of
the bridal party. A charming feature
was the forming of a bridal aisle by IL
girls of the Junior Day Nursery club,
who held the white satin ribbons ex-
tending from the altar to the staircase
as the bride and her attendant enter
ed. The girls were gowned in rainbow
effect in lavender, pink, blue, yellow
and white, and carried armfuls of
sweet peas of ~harmonizing shades. The
girls were the Misses Constance Rice,

Camadoli Hermits at Frascati, in
Italy. He is thirty-nine years of age.
He went to Rome six months ago to
ask the Pope to liberate him from his
episcopal charge, SO that he might be-

offered no opposition, but asked Mgr.
Benyio de Souza Costa to wait little
for his supreme decision. The Bishop
retired to Frascati to await the Pope's
answer In about month Cardinal
de Lai, in the name of the Sovereign
Pontiff, acquainted him that his pc

been named Titular Bishop of Tubuna
and that he was free to embrace the
religious life wherever he felt he was
called by God. Consequently, on Eas-

ORIGIN OF NAME IRELAND
NO SATISFACTORY ExPLANA
TIoN OF THE WORD OFFERED
BY ANTIQUARIANS.

Ledwich, the Irish historian and
antiquary, supplies the following an
nails as evidence of the origin of the
much disputed though never finally
settled derivation of the word IRE
land"
A. d. 87O-King Alfred, in his Anglo
Saxon translation of "Orosius," styles
Ireland ''Ire-land"
A. D. 891-Three Irishmen, says the
Saxon Chronicle, came in boat from
Yr-lande; so the Cotton MS. has it.
A. d. 918-The same chronicle calls
Ireland ''Yr-lande."
A. d. 1048-Harold flies to Yr-lande
A. D. 1077-Then Danes were ship
wrecked on "Yr-lande"
A. d. 10S0-Adam Bremensis names
Ireland "Ir-land"
A. D. O98-Odericus vitalis calls
the Irish "Irenses."
A. d. 1105-Oelonoth, in his Life of
St. Canute," styles them "Iros"
Ledwich labored hard to deduce
that from the original Celtic Ir-in came
the Ira. Iros, Irenses and Yr-land OF
the Icelanders, Danes, Anglo-Saxons
and Germans, and the Iris of Do
dorus Sicu1us; and, by transporta-
ton of inne the Ierne of the other
Greeks, Ledwich. however, though he
proved the derivation to his own sat
isfaction, did not satisfy his contem-
poraries or successors.

FATHER Of AMERICAN
SHORTHAND WRITING
THOMAS LLOYD WAS THE FIRST
OFFICIAL STENoGRAPHER OF
RESS-TAUGHT BY THE
JESUlTS-FoUGHT IN THE REV.
OLUTIoNARY WAR-AN AUTHOR
OF NOTE.

The Rev. Thomas F. Coakley, of
Pittsburgh, Pa, in communication
published in the current issue of
America" gives the following sketch
of Thomas Lloyd, the first American
newspaper reporter to use shorthand:
Thomas Lloyd was born in London
in 1856, and received his early educa-
ton from the Jesuits, at st. Omer's,
in Flanders. The Jesuits taught him
shorthand One of his professors was
Rev. John Carroll, who later became
the illustrious Archbishop of Balti-
more. While at ST. Omer's he became
a fast friend of Rev. Leonard Neale,
who succeeded Archbishop Carroll,
and through the influence of these two
Maryland priests Lloyd came to Mary
lond in It'll. At the outbreak of the
Revolution, he entered the service Of
the American colonies, and was in ac-
ton until the battle of Brandywine,
during which engagement he was
wounded and taken prisoner, but was
later exchanged. In 1879 he was ap-
pointed to the quartermaster's depart
ment, with the rank of captain, and
then went to England on some sup
posedly secret mission. When the
Government finance department was
established, Lloyd was appointed pri-
vate secretary to the treasurer of the
United States, which position he oc-
cupied until peace was declared. In
1855 he was engaged as reporter on
the Pennsylvania Packet to make
shorthand reports of the proceedings
of the Pennsylvania House of Assem-
bly,. This is one of the first recorded
instances of a newspaper reporter us
ing shorthand. In 1887 he reported
the proceedings of the Pennsylvania
Constitutional Convention. AS official
reporter, he was present at the SEES
tives in New York, and when George
Washington was inaugurated, Lloyd
stood on the balcony while the Father
of his Country took the oath of Office
and delivered his inaugural address.
The notes of it, which Lloyd wrote in
SHOFLHaHuy were Tie lOlIUWAHS udJ Adlu
before congress. In 1889 Lloyd was
engaged as the official stenographer
of Congress, which met in Philadel-
phia in 1890, and he continued in this
capacity when Congress held its SEES
sion later in Washington. In 1904 he
reported the proceedings of the Penn.
sylvania House of Representatives.

WAYsIDE CROSS RESTORE
FRENCH COUNTS RE-ERECTS
CROSS TORN DOWN IN REVo-
LUTIoNARY DAYS.

Count Gaitisola, of Bordeaux,
France, recently restored a wayside
cross that had lain neglected for a
century near the village of st. Hilaire,
Mayenne.
In one of his rides through the
country, he noticed a pyramid of
stones, those on top being of peculiar
shape; and closer examination show
ed that they were fragments of a
cross. The INDECENT and hard-worked
priest of the district accepted with
gratitude and joy Count Gaitisola's Of
fer to re-erect the cross which had
been torn down in the Revolution of
1889.
The new cross, handsome one of
blue granite, has been solemnly bless
ed by the Bishop of Laval in the pres
ence of large concourse.
