Directors Plan to Make Com
ing Autumn Exhibit Best
in C0unty's History.
FANCY PRIZES WILL
BE GIVEN EXHIBITORS
Special Inducements Will Be
Offered to Get Farmers to
Participate.

At a meeting of the members of the
Fair & Park Association yesterday aft
ernoon, for the purpose of discussing
plans for holding the proposed fair
next fall, it was decided to enter into
the work without further delay with
the aim in view of making it one of
the most successful and satisfactory
events ever recorded in the history of
fairs in Cape Girardeau County.
Numerous changes will be made,
and the arrangements when finally
completed will be so formed as to over
come every undesirable feature en-
cOuntered by previous experience, and
provide for the strengthening of every
weakness existing in former programs.
Alluring prizes will be offered as in
ducements to procure the biggest ard
best exhibits Cor the various displays.
And it is the intention and desire of
the management to create 4 demon
stration that will attract with favor
both exhibitor and visitor.
Many additions will be made % the
list of exhibits on when premiums will
be offered, and the prizes to be award
ed will also be increased in value.
A special effort will be made to ap-
peal to the owners of the fastest hors-
es, and every reasonable inducemCrt
will be offered to bring the best ma
terial possible to make the races spe-
cial features of attraction.
1t is the intention to secure some
thing new and desirable for free at
fractions, and to be content with moth
ing but the best.
Many of these details have not yet
been worked out, but at the meeting
held yesterday it was decided that
nothing should be left undone that
could work to the successful carrying
out of the project, and that the mat
ter should be taken up without further
delay and continued diligently until
every plan has been perfected and all
have been finally decid-
ed upon, and the work carried to COM
pletion.
Special inducements will be offered
to the farmers to bring in their choic-
est products for exhibit and the list of
competitive products will be increased,
and will comprehend everything that
is grown on the farm in both vegeta-
ton and livestock.
Floral Hall will be made the scene
of unusual and increased interest with
its added numbers of competitive ar
ticles.
Work of printing the catalogs and
other necessary advertising matter
will begin in short time, and the ex-
ploitation and preparation will con-
tinue necessarily until the task is fin
ished.
Another meeting will be held in
about a week when final arrangements
will be agreed upon regarding mat
ters taken under advisement yester-
day.
The fair will open on September 90
and continue to and including October
2.

so announced his intentions.

state.

A WILDWOOD MYSTERY.

We are duly informed that news
paper men are at times a most highly
favored class of people. To show the
merits of this statement we need only
to quote the charity of certain note
worthy hunter shown toward his good
friend, a journal man. 1t appears
that during frolic with dog and
gun in the wood, that this hunter was
fortunate in killing three fine part
ridge and in an attempt to show his
companions the spoils of his good
fortune he discovered that fourth
bird of somewhat different descrip-
ton had been added This could be
nothing short of miracle for the
bird truly had legs as yellow as gold.
After a consideration of the matter
the new bird was titled the Golden
Pheasant" True to real sportsman
ship and real charity this fortunate
hunter decided to give this blessing
to good friend who was denied the
pleasure of hunting to any great ex-
tent and as stated before the fort
innate friend was a newspaper man.
To this great act of charity the
following lines were dedicated and
contributed:
MORNING
Sir Joseph is sportsman bold.
Regardless of the weather,
With faithful Duke he roams the
wilds
In search of fur and feather.
NOON
Quoth Joe, 81 shot three partridges
See here my sportsmen fellow"
And pulled three grouse from out
his coat
Plus one whose legs were yellow.
whats this? Whence came this
thing?" said he:
Then comrades gaily squawk.
Looks like a Golden Pheasant
With talons like hawk"
NIGHT
Good joke" quoth Joe, "too good
to keep"
And wrapped that bird internal
In package neat; then lay in wait
And passed it to Joe Journal.

Text Made Public.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1S.-The
official text of the reply of Austria
Hungary to note of the United States
on the sinking of the Italian steamer
Ancona has been made public and
shows that Austria denies the views
presented by the United States, even
if correct and warrants the blame
being placed on the submarine com
mander.
The note denies that the blame can
be placed on the Austro- Hungarian
government and says that the govern
ment is unable to understand what
the United States intended to indicate
when she mentioned the attitude of
Germany towards submarine warfare.
Aside from these points the note is
the same as told in unofficial Nables
previously.
