WARNS AGAINST FAIR GAMBLING
Secretary Corey Sends Out Notices
to County Fair Managers.

A. r. Corey, secretary of the state
board of agriculture has sent to all
county fair managers letters warn
ing them to bar gambling devices
from the 1916 county fairs, if they
expect to make a claim for state aid.
The legislature provided an appro-
priation by which the county fairs
may draw a maximum of $500 state
aid per year.
The state secretary called atten-
ton to the fact that in 1915 two
county fairs lost their state aid be-
cause they permitted games of
chance on the fair grounds. Many
of the county secretaries have writ
ten to the state asking whether GER
tain devices to increase receipts were
Gambling. Mr.. Corey quotes the fol-
lowing from the attorney general de-
fining gambling devices.

all directions, and injuring some Of
them quite badly. Terrence was go

Lloyd Fan. Shara, accompanied by
lis family, was returning from Post
vile. About mile west of Postville
they met, and as both could not pass
on the same trail, there was a crash,
headon, reducing the front of each
car to mass of junk.
Terrence, when picked up, was un-
conscious, remaining in that state fol-
twenty minutes. Fan was thrown ov-
er both cars, so we have been told
but aside from several cuts on one
hand he escaped uninjured.
Mr.. Shara was thrown out and re,
ceived bad bruises and cuts about
the head His boy, too, was thrown

Another Concert Next Sunday.

The DEBORAH City Band gave their
first concert of the summer season at
the City Park Sunday, and to say
that it was appreciated is putting it
mildly. A large crowd was present,
both afternoon and evening, and the
concert, and the beauties and COM

next Sunday afternoon and evening.
Last Sunday the refreshments ran
out early, but next Sunday the park

abundant supply will be on hand to
supply the visitors during the after

Two Americans were saved when

There is no evidence thus far to
show a submarine was to blame. but
the state Department will conduct an
investigation to establish the facts.
The State Department is awaiting
the note from the Austro- Hungarian
government on the sinking OF the

charges the vessel was torpedoed.

.AUSTR|ANS ATTACK
.0N 35-M|LE FRONT
Three Hundred Thousand Of
Franz Josef's Troops In
Great Drive Against italians.

AMSTERDAM. May 1s.-Three hun
dred thousand Austrian troops concen-
trated on a thirty-hve mile front, are
striking against the Italian lines in the
Tyrolese Alps In the most determined
Austrian offensive against Italy since
the war began.
The official dispatches transmitted
from Vienna contain no hint as to the
exact nature of the operations. Several
Berlin military critics intimated today
that the Austrians are developing a
great Offensive, and are bent on the in
vasion OF Northern Italy.
The fighting is spreading eastward
from the Adige river valley across high
Alpine peaks and rocky plateaus The
Italians have been driven southwark on
a five-mile front extending from Piazza
to the upper Asticovalley. The Vienna
war office claims the capture of Zeegna-
torta, south of Rovereto, though the
Italian war office reports the repulse
of heavy Austrian attacks at this point.
Losses in the three days of severe
fighting have run well into the thous-
ands. The Italian official dispatches re-
port that many enemy bodies have been
swept down the swiftly flowing Adige
river.
The military critic of the Berlin Nor
compost declares that the Austrian VIC
tories apparently are Of more than local
Significance.
For some time II was known that
heavier fighting was beginning along the
whole Italian 'front.'" said the Berlin
critic. 1.-THE entire front from the
Isonzo to Lake Garda has been set In
action.
1.-THE Austrian attack In Tyrol has APP
ps rently developed on wide front with
the left wing In the Sugana valley, and
the right wing In the Adige.
Austrian troops have achieved more
In this one action than the Italians dur
ing the whole year for at no time have
the Italians succeeded In capturing AUS
trian positions on a twenty-five mile
front"
