BIGGER PRIZES
Horse, Sheep and Cattle Shows a
Minnesota State Fair Favor
Breeders at Home.

Minnesota exhibitors of horses, cat
tie and sheep have a greater oppor-
tunity to win premium money at the
Minnesota State Fair, Sept. to II,
than breeders from outside the state.
This special inducement is offered by
the State Fair in order to encourage
the breeding of more good horses, cat
tie and sheep throughout the state.
Premium money offered for these
three kinds of animals is divided into
two general parts. One part is Of
fered in the "open" classes, in which
animals from anywhere can compete
The other part is offered in the "Min-
nesota" classes, in which only animals
from Minnesota can compete. Thus
Minnesota breeders not only have as
good a chance to win money in the
"open classes" as any other breeders
but they also have an opportunity to
win in the Minnesota" classes where
competition is much less keen.
AS result of this handicap, Mime
sofa breeders of sheep, cattle and
horses owning farm animals consider
ably inferior to those exhibited by
outside breeders can win quite bit
more prize money. Especially is this
true when there happens to be very
little competition in the minnesota"
classes. There have been instances
when Minnesota breeders unable to
score a single victory in the "open"
classes obtained more money than
most any of the exhibitors from out
side the state. A general appreciation
of this advantage, according to live
stock experts is certain to result in a
bigger Minnesota exhibit of sheep,
horese and cattle at the Minnesota
State Fair this fall than at any pre-
vious time.

Of the many stunts performed by
the Sparks Circus herd of elephants
the one that probably gets the most
appreciation is the game of base ball
played by these mighty and unweild-
ly pachaderms. Every play is gone
through with in the most ludicrous
manner, and the laughs furnished by
this number will remain as pleasant
remembrance of the circus.
All the accessories-pitcher, batter,
catcher, umpire, fielders and their
gloves, masks, bats and uniforms

rounds of applause and laughter from
the audience. Another funny situa-
ton is when the pitcher has two
strikes on "Big Mary" he and the
catcher get into an animated argu-
ment over the next ball to be served
by the pitcher and trumpet into each
others ears. This little piece of by
play always meets with the instant
approval of the audience and adds

The Concert.

The music-loving people of Sank
Centre enjoyed a rare treat OF Tues
day evening last, in the concert that
was given under the auspices Of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
people expected a good time as the
house was filled to overlooking, many
being unable to obtain seats, and we
judged by the applause that was CIV
en- to the various pieces, that they
were not disappointed. Sank Centre
has large amount of first-class mus
zeal talent and the people know how
to appreciate it. The first piece MAR
cling Through Georgia" seemed to
be finely executed, and as the concert
progressed, we felt like saying the
same of the other pieces. The people
seemed especially pleased with the
performance of the piece entitled,
GRANDMOTHER Told Ne &c." espec-
tally when the "hysterical' bird came
to crow. The Captain is some on the
crow The older musicians whom we
have been accustomed to hear, fully
the performance upon the piano by
Master Lyman Barto and Miss Annie
Stabler, and the song sung by Miss
Jessie Moore were highly creditable
and gave promise of future excellence.
There seemed, however, to be some
difficulty in tn singing of the Heath
en- Chinee," probably because it was
about game of euchre, and the chief
singer, having no knowledge of the

game, was wholly unable to appre-
ciate the piece. They should select a
man of less modesty next time.
Cattle Thieves.

About ten days ago three yoke of
oxen were missed from Lake George
in this county. One yoke belonging to
Hubert Pung, one to Peter Walders
and the other to Andrew Snider. Some
of the cattle were taken from stable
yard and some from a pasture, which
led to the belief that they had been
stolen. After a thorough search in
the neighborhood, the owners of the
cattle came to Sank Centre, where a
gentleman advised them to go in the
direction of Pomme de Terre river,
on the Wadsworth road, telling them
to lose no time. They Immediately
started in the direction named, and
the next day after travelling rs miles
they came in sight of two men in a
buggy, with three yoke of oxen in the
front of them, and after going short
distance further they obtained des-
cription of the cattle ahead from five
Norwegians, whose services they Sc
cured to go with them to take pos
ession of the oxen. When they got
within a short distance of the men in
the buggy they drove off as fast as
they could, leaving the cattle, and the
owners secured their property. The
thieves had got within a short distance
of the woods one mile this side of
Gagers station, and had the pursuers
been ten minutes later they probably
never would have recovered their
property, as the thieves could have
easily secreted them in the woods. 1t
is quite probable that the thieves in
tended to dispose of them to beef
contractor. Farmers should be on
their guard and keep an eye on their
stock.

Fire

On Monday morning of last week,
Geo. Nottage's house about three
miles from town was burned. Mr.. Not
tage was not at home at the time and
his wife, who was alone in the house,
did not discover the fire until the
house was discovered in flames so that
nothing was saved. The house was in
sured to the amount of SITS but this
is but a small portion of the value of
the property destroyed. The loss is
a heavy one for Mr.. Nottage.

Bears.

Mr.. Butler, of Todd county, was in
town Saturday and had with him the
hide and one ponderous foot of huge
black bear killed by him on Friday.
The bear was an old one and had been
preying on the hogs of the settlers for
some time, and had become the terror
to the neighborhood. When killed he
was in the act of carrying off hog
that weighed ITS pounds. He meas
ured Z feet, nine inches in length, and
sit is estimated had he been fat he
would have weighed seven hundred
pounds.

FOURTH OF JULY DANGERS
State Fire Marshal Issues Statement
of Timely Warning and Urges
Sane Observance of Day.

Fourth of July will be with US in a
few weeks. What is your community
doing to make it GLORIOUS Fourth"
in reality, instead Of a fatal Fourth,
which it has been to thousands of the
youth of the land in the last few
years? What are you doing your
self in this respect?
These are the pertinent questions
by R. w. Hargadine, Minnesota State
fire marshal, who is making an effort
to bring home to the people a real
ization of the enormous fire loss and
anguish that follows in the wake of
the holiday as generally observed.
This year it is more important than
usual to take extra precautions
against the usual results of Indepen-
dence Day celebrations, because the
holiday falls on Sunday, thereby in
creasing the dangers of fire because
of the suspension of business for two
days.
independence day is one of powder
poisoning and lockjaw; day of hos
pitfalls and ambulances; day of multi
alton, fire and death. Will it mean
all these to your community or per-
haps your own family?
Fourth of July can be made "safe
and sane" If there is anything that
is sane in the American people it is
the growing revolt against our insane
manner of celebrating this holiday.
Every man upon whose shoulders fall
public responsibility breads it. No
fire department gets through the day
and nights on both sides of it with
out exhaustion and it is doubtful if
on some fifth July an entire commun-
ity may not burn itself up in the faces
of firemen and fire horses to exhaust
ed by silly frecracker fires the day
before to cope with it.
And even while the men and horses
are doing their utmost to reach fire
caused by some careless or thought
less person there have been cases
where both men and horses were Kill
led by being thrown from trucks by
frightened horses swerving from ex-
plosives thrown at them as they gal
Hoped past.
Aside from the financial loss, by far
the most distressing result of the
celebration is the loss of life and limb.
Thousands of young men are going
through life sightless or crippled and
made dependent upon charity because
of explosives on Independence day.
With all these facts in mind the
state fire marshal seeks oarouse in
the minds of the people of the state
of Minnesota the necessity of observ-
ing the ordinances and state laws in
relation to the sale of explosives and
urges all the people to begin now to
prepare to make Fourth of July this
year in Minnesota the beginning of
new era in the observance of indie
pendence day.
Mr.. Hargadine, realizing the neces-
sity of taking some practical step to-
ward eliminating the usual dangerous
form of patriotic celebration, is send
ing out Cor will send out shorly,) a
letter to each of the mayors and fire
chiefs in teh different municipalities
of the state with copy of a model
ordinance and the suggestion that it
be introduced in the various councils
and to urge its passage.

Still Discussing
Case of Steamer
WithGut71 on Deck
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sapt. 21.-State de-
partment officials still are comforting
with attaches of the British embassy
regarding the merchant ship Waia-
mana, detained at Newport News for
several weeks by order of the govern
nlent when she put into port from
Australia with a four inch gun
mounted on her stern.
The ship was held up because of
the probability that the United States
would revise rules governing the car
rying of the defense guns on mer-
chant ships of belligerents in view of
the development of submarine war
fare. When rules were laid down by
this government permitting merchant
ships to carry small defense guns to
enter and leave American ports, the
submarine warfare had not developed.
It now is apparent that small defense
guns such as merchant ships carry
can destroy submarines.
1t was stated today that the British
government may decide to remove the
gun from the Waiamana and not raise
any issue at this time. If the gun
is removed the Waimana will be
cleared. Should this occur, it was
explained at the state department, it
would not influence deliberations now
in progress which probably viii re-
