CATTLE IN The
STATE HELD NEAR HERE

At the North Dakota state fair this
the owner of the finest herd of Holstein
cattle in this country, took first prize
and carried away all of the honors.
AS the closing dates for entries in
the horse and cattle departments at
the Minnesota state fair approach
those in charge of entries believe that
the largest horse and cattle show ever
held at the fair is assured. Entries
for horses, cattle and ponies close
Thursday, Aug. IS,
The horse department Is Offering
over $4,000 more in premiums than
given last year. The aggregate sum
for horses and ponies Is nearly $4,000,
The cattle show, both beef and dairy,
is Offering $4,000, which is a decided
increase. Indeed the cattle show will
be one of the largest in America.
Those in charge Of the entries have
found greater local interest in the
state fair horse and cattle exhibits
than ever before, due, it is believed, to
the breeding of more horses and cat
tie throughout the northwest, the in
creased premium lists and the excel
lent conditions. Exhibitors Of cattle
and ho&ses from other states will be
subjectedr to strong local competition
at the coming fair.
Entries in other departments close
as follows: Butter and cheese, Aug.
%; sheep and swine, Aug. 27; poultry,
Aug. 20.
The prizes at the Minnesota state
fair have not been given out as yet,
but it is intimated that Clay county
farmers have some of the best exhib-
it's in the line of cattle and live stock
in Hamline Park. '

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach. fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years i
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and so sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
i has since been placed in the hands Of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless. The ef-
feet of the medicine is sufficient TO cor1-
vince any n of its remarkable effect
iveness, and within "a hours the sufferer
feels like a new person. Mayr's Won
derful Stomach. Remedy is now sold
here by uasaszsss.~ae
Fout and Porterield and druggistl

COLORED CRAP
ARTISTS PULLED

If a person had dropped into the po-
lice station this morning when Judge
Miller was cleaning up the accumu.
lation of the police docket from last
night, he would have had no trouble
In making himself believe that he
was in n of the southern states.
Thirty-three negroes were brought
before the judge in squads. All Of
them were arrested by the officers late
last evening on charges of vagrancy
and all pleaded not guilty, alleging
that they had either just arrived IN
town where they had secured work or
were at work, although it was hard
for most of them to tell for whom
they had been working or expected to
work. .. r.
The officers stated that all yesterday
been on the bank of the river back of
the hollow indulging in the usual
pastime with the bones and at inter-
walls making a trip in ones and twos
to MoOrhead, where they would Sc
cure liquor. The police had stationed
men to watch the bunch and late in
the evening they were rounded up and
thrown in the bull pen.
After entering their plea, all were
bound over until tomorrow morning
when they will be given a chance to
show that they have a visible means
of support. The bond was fixed at SO
each but only two were able to secure
their liberty until the hearing. 1t
was noticeable hat the mar with the
most none on his person also carried
a good pair Of dice.

THREE MEN RIDE MOTOR.
CYCLE FROM CHICAGO

One man riding a motorcycle
through the streets is common. Two
men riding a motorcycle is seen
times but it. is rarely that you see
three men on n machine with a sin
gle speed and no side car.
70. W. Stubs with two friends, J.
Williams and w. Whitney, started five
days ago from Chicago on q Pope twin
and arrived here yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. One was on the rid
er's seat, one was on the rear stand
while the other was sitting straddle
the tank. They say that they seldom
change their positions and that they
ride through sand and mud as If it
were nothing. The hills are all taken
at a high rate of speed and it actually
seems that the men are made of some
kind of funny rubber for they seem to
bounce around and never quite bound
off. 3
TT is funny to me, some Of the
things that people along the road fix
up and hang a sign readinr garage
on" said Mr., Whitney. when we go
through some of the smaller towns
and tell the people hat we are all of
us riding on this one machine and
that We all started from Chicago and
are going as far as we can without
rawning the engine, they only stand
with their mouths open and look in
bewilderment at u.s."
The three young men viii go into
North Dakota and work in the harvest
fields or go into Montana, where they
expect to find work of some kind.
