Fair VIII Be Featured by Bands.


There will be plenty of music at the
state fair this gear. The Wisconsin
state board Of agriculture has con-
tracted for eight bands and one or
! Chestra. An orchestra may seem out
| of place at a fair, but it is for use in
the judging pavilion where band mu-
! sic has been found too heavy. While
the judges are awarding prizes an or
chestra of nine pieces will be flooding
| the pavilion with popular airs and
classical music.
Clauder's state band will play all
| of the five days. 1t includes thirty
| five of Milwaukee's best musicians. 1t
| is possible that this band will be heard
down town each night of the week,
! September IA to Is.
The largest band engaged is the IA
mouse Sheboygan band of f1fty-five
| pieces. This organization was the mu-
steal hit Of the fair in 1913, and this
is why it has been re-engaged. The
! band includes fifty-five men, and it
will be at the fair on Tuesday, Milwau-
kee day, and on Wednesday, state and
| governors day.
All Of the other bands engaged come
highly recommended, and they include
from twenty-five to thirty-fVe men.
A feature of the music this year will
be State Fair march written by Wal
ter Clauder, who has succeeded the
late Joseph Clauder as leader of the
! Clauder band. Mr.. Clauder is at work
on the march, and it will be played
every day 1t will be dedicated to the
1914 state fair.
Another big feature planned is to
have all bands on the grounds at a
certain hour each afternoon play ma
tional airs as one band.
Plans for music down town each
night are being made by Citizens Bust
ness league state fair committee.

Alderman Frank Lucas of the Madi-
son council spoke. His subject was
Municipal Taxes and the Budget"
He said in part:
I'm speaking about commercial or
CARNATIONS and city government Mr..
Bruce held that as a, family is de-
pendent upon the excess of income
over the cost of necessities for it's
luxuries, SO a government must be de-
pendent on its income, by first obtain
ing money for the necessary things of
government and later indulging in the
Injuries. He said that if city felt the
need of parks, comfort stations and
other similar things which might be
compared to the chinaware and pianos
in the family, it would have to in
crease its earning power. The family
would concentrate on increased wages
while the city would concentrate on
additional taxable property"

Mysterious Party.

Laredo, Textile multilated body
OF Clemente Vergara, the Texas ranch
man lured into Mexico by Mexican
federal soldiers, was secretly brought
to the American side of the Rio
Grande river early Sunday by mys-
FERROUS party of men.
Departing as silently as they had
crossed the river. the men who dis.
Inferred the body from the Hidalgo,
Mex.,s cemetery and bore it five miles
to American territory left no trace

established that vergara was executed
after his capture.
Vergara was shot twice through the
head and once through the neck, his
skull was crushed as by blow of a
rifle-butt, and the charred fingers of
the left hand indicated that he had
been tortured before being put to
death.
