turned from Helena Saturday morn
ing, where he attended the state fair
He is exceedingly pleased with the
showing which Lewistown made there
and he states that while hitherto nc
especial effort has been made to take
state fair prizes, next year that object
will be kept In view, and he is salts
fled that these city schools will 'clean
up" AS it was, Lewistown really had

schools competing with high schools
but at the eighth grade exhibit won
second, the entry being rocking
chair, done by Oliver Hausel.

also returned from the state fair yes
terday with words of high praise for
the fair, in general, and for the eX-
