Now that the Fair and Exposition
Is over the magnitude and possibility
are gradually becoming known. E. J..
Heisel the big Horse buyer Of Ere
mont, stated that he had attended
some five state fairs this season and
while all of them possessed notable
features, that the fair just closed ex-
ceeded IN the fine display of Breed
and Draft horses, the show put on at
the State Fair of Nebraska. He put in
two days on the grounds and he went
in, did not expect to stay more than
few hours. I'm all respects will
have to take off my hat to this section
of Iowa, for in the raising of fine
stock we have the best in the central
west" e. c. Bishop of Ames. one of
the judges also spoke in glowing
terms regarding the exhibits in gen.
eral and was agreeably surprised
that this was the first year of the
fair in this locality. at this rate in
a year or so, you will have the second
best fair in Iowa and in many respects
don't know but what you have it
now" He was delighted with his visit
to Oskaloosa.

SEVERE fire. DAMAGE
Mrs. Florence Wright's Home Ruin
ed by Flames.

Fire that doubtlessly had its origin
from a chimney spark or defective
fiue, destroyed the upper story of the
residence of Mrs Florence l.. Wright,
GIL North b street, about ten thirty
this morning. The flames had spread
until the entire upstairs was involved
before Mrs. Wright and her elder son
Clark who were in the house, learned
of the fire.
Mrs. Wright was working about
the kitchen all morning, and knew
nothing of the blaze, until notified by
neighbors, who first saw the fire and
warned the family.
An effort was made by Mrs. Wright
and Clerke to save household goods
in the second floor, but the blaze burn
ed so rapidly that this plan was aband
oned. Part of the roof fell in, while
theyswere in the second floor, but no
one was injured.
Household goods in the first floor
were saved. as NOSE all was removed
from the dwelling.
The loss will be severe as the Sec
ond story was almost entirely destroy
ed, and little saved. Water damage
will be felt in the lower floor, and
much repairing will be required.
The house and household goods are
