CLOSING DAY
THE LAKE COUNTY FAIR HAS
BEEN A SUCCESS FROM START
TO FINISH.

Today was the closing day of the
ninth annual Lake county fair. The
weather has been superb all week
and the crowds have enjoyed every
moment of their stay in the city.
The gate receipts the first day
amounted to approximately $1,000,
Yesterday, the big day, the receipts
were swelled to $1,700, and no doubt
today the receipts will at least equal
the receipts of the first day. The gen
eral remark among people interested
is that with this successful year the
Lake county fair should be placed
firmly on its feet.
The band was out on Egan ay.
gave a fine concert. Soon the livery
autos began congregating at Egar
venue and Fifth street and the hur
ry and hustle of the day was on, 1
large crowd going to the fair grounds
to spend the forenoon. This after
noon the crowd was greatly in
creased.
The work of judging the exhibits
was in progress yesterday and today
and exhibitors could be found stand
ing in knots comparing notes on tn,
premiums they had won.
The livestock exhibit was large
and many handsome individual ami
mails were in the groups.
The racing each day has been in
teresting and the grandstand ha.
been packed with spectators who en-
joyed witnessing the sport.

BATTLE Still ON
NO PARTICULAR CHANGE IN WAR
CONDITIONS IN EUROPE.

New York, Sept. 25.-Special:
Again the status of the warfare on
the long line in France remains un-
changed, according to the official re-
port of the French war office.
The battle has developed into a war
of assault, with the allies in the role
of attackers against the strongly en-
trenched positions of the Germans.
The French report says that in these
circumstances progress of necessity
must be slow.
In the eastern war zone the Rus
slams report that they are still pur-
suing the retreating Austrians in Ga
licia, while on the German front the
German and Russian armies are in
close contact. No engagement has
occurred as yet, however.
A press dispatch says the Servians
have taken Liubovia from the Aus
trians and that the losses were heavy.
A news agency dispatch is author
ity for the statement that the Ger
mans have entrenched and mined the
approaches to Brussels and also are
fortifying the region around Ath,
northwest of Mons, to prevent the
Belgians falling on the Germans
should a retreat from France be
forced.
In reply to Germany's protesto
against China's violation of neutral
ity by permitting Japanese troops to
land on her soil, China said she was
unable to defend her neutrality.
A German official report says the
Russians lost in the battles near Ten
nenberg 10000 men killed and 90
600 captured.
Another German report says that
a single German submarine sank the
three British cruisers in the North
sea Tuesday. While the location of
this daring torpedo attack has not
been definitely established, it is as
sumed that it took place somewhere
off the mouth of the Kiel canal. The
latest estimate of the casualties in
the disaster gives about 1,400 of the
2,200 officers and men on board the

three warships as lost.

British a~eroplanes have invaded
Germany and dropped bombs on a
Zeppelin airship hangar at Dussel-
dorf. The Germans claim no dam
age was done.
An official statement issued in Ber-
lin says the German art commission
for Belgium reports that all art
works and monumental buildings in
Louvain and Liege were saved dur
ing the recent German bombardment.
A Venice dispatch says the Hun
! garian minister of the interior re-
ports hal there have been nine cases
of Asiatic cholera among the wound
ed in Hungary.
According to a dispatch from Paris
a Russian cruiser has sunk a German
/ cruiser and two German torpedo
boats in the Baltic sea.

Montrose Herald: Sunday morning
three of the Davenport and Henle
garage autos were taken by visitors
to Lake Madison. Frank Davenport
drove the new Paige car over with a
party of five, Mrs. Davenport drove
the Hupmobile with a party of four
and Peter Henle had a bunch of five
in another Hupmobile. The roads
were in pretty good shape and the
long trip of thirty miles was soon
covered. Arriving at the lake a pic
mic dinner was enjoyed, then the
boats were procured and fishing and
boating occupied the afternoon. A
fine fish supper was served the party
at the Gilbert camp and the party
started home, returning here at $50.
They brought home about 600 perch
caught in a couple of hours fishing,
which they and their friends have
greatly enjoyed.

MERE wHlrEwAsH.

It is reasonable conjecture that sensation will attend the action of Governor Hunt and Secretary Of State osburn in placing their unqualified O K on the present administration at the State Industrial school as followed the announcement of the charges of State Au1it-- c-u.rh-u that affairs at the school dis
 ue me onlevashug Of Super intend n. vhi1ple by Governor Hunt and Secretary oe burn is as nauseatng on Che one hand Auditor Cal aghans indictments were startling the other.
 In their resolution proclaiming that whppe is lily white and his institution above reproaoh Hunt and os- burn conclude with this peroraton: 't is the opinion of the Board of Control Arizona that the charge of ineompetency and mismanagement not sustained by the evidence that the charge of Immortality grossly mis- represented conditions and that such for criticism on that point as may have existed remedied before the Auditors demand for an investigation made and that the charges according to the Auditors own statement were founded upon significant and ndehned rumors of conditions said to have existed there, and which appeared to have emanated from former (dis- chargeda employees of the institution"
 In his reply to the categorical charges made by Mir. Cauaghan Superintendent Wlhpple did not attempt 10 deny several of the serious allegations presented Ho admitted that corporal punishment was pracueea 0' the institution; but to the extent described by Mir Calaghsn. He conceded that immortality existed; but not to the lengths revealed in the evidence adduced by Mr. Caaghan. Viewed In the most charitable light the testimony showed that there ample basis of fac. for the accusations lodged against the institution.
 The HuntOsburn resolution is a document of strained denials and uuconvncng inexcusable excuses. It will not serve to dscredit the evidence collected by Mr. Caaehan It will fail utterly in It's too apparent effort to set at rest the public mind Governor Hunt and Sec retary Osbur have protested o'er much in their fran tic service to Superintendent Whipple By sloppinl over they have hurt instead of helped his cause Witt the case as t stands present the citizens of Arzor' will be more eager than for unassaiable informa ton concerning the administration of the State Industrial school and he investigation might well include an in ouiry into the Board of Control
