interviewed on the subject in Oc-

The promoter wished advance
knowledge of the amount Of nne that
would be imposed for the first show

this fine to suffice for further in
fringement of the federal law pro-
hibiting their production

imposed. After this, he suggested,
the pictures could be continued to be
shown without interference of the
federal prosecuting officers or fur

Refused to Enter Scheme.
Il quickly cut short this interview
by telling the man that I did not
prosecute that way; that should he

to the full extent of the law.
made it clear that he would make
himself liable for further prosecu-
tion each time the pictures were dis

He then left my Office and I heard
nothing further about the pictures.
am absolutely sure that the man
was in no way connected with the
Department of Justice, but was an
agent promoting the pictures for his
own or private interests Had he
introduced himself as an agent of the
Department of Justice, I would have
recalled the fact distinctly"

JOS B. Sieber was second. Cover
nor Donahey was re-nominated by a
vote five or six times as big. as was
his opponent, James C. Beatty on
the Democratic ticket
C. Ellis Moore against whom a
hard fight had been made, was re-
nominated for Congress, winning
over his opponents, w. G. Mooney
and L. F. Cain by a big majority.
Jas. A. Alexander was nominated on
the Democratic ticket. While his
opponent Geo. White, had announced
his withdrawal from the race re-
Gently, his name appeared on the
ballot, and he received a number of
votes,
Here in the county the fight of
the two Republican factions-the
Fouts-Cook bunch and IEe Herald
gang, was the most spirited, and
there were many women carefully
instructed how to vote for commit
teemen, and nobody else. 1t would
appear that the Herald crowd got
the better of the fight, though as yet
we have not had time to count noses.
However on the other hand, the 9TH
er side won in their congressman
nomination. L. L. Gray was nomi-
mated for representative, and A. j.
Trash for county treasurer. The
present commissioners were re-nom-
mated One of the biggest surprises
was the way L. M Hollingsworth
ran for recorder, leaving his two
lady opponents far in the rear. The
closest race was for surveyor. be-
tween the present official H. H.
Dunn and F.. B. Barrett, the latter
winning by 81 votes.
The Democrats had no contest in
the county and names were written
in for such offices as no candidates
had filed for, with the result that
they received a sufficient number to
be nominated, and with the excep-
ton of prosecuting attorney, sur
veyor and coroner, there will be

Improvement AT Fair Ground

A force Of carpenters have been
wrecking the old poultry house on
the hill side, which has been remov-
ed to and erected at location
northeast of the big barn, and at
the upper end of the cattle sheds, to
be used for a horse show barn. The
dimension of the building is 28xS0
feet 1t is very substantial and fine
looking, and a splendid building
which will do credit to the fair and
ment Make your entries early in
the horse department, and house
them in the finest, most pleasant,
comfortable and satisfactory barn
ever erected on the Morgan county
fair ground. Furthermore, one of
the finest little poultry exhibition
houses has been placed just above
the upper foot bridge, and at the
lower end of cattle sheds, 20x40
feet, fully equipped and furnished
with exhibition coops. This with
the neatness and fine appearance
and location will please both patrons
and visitors, beyond all reasonable
doubt
The big barn formerly used for
show horses, has been completely
remodeled inside, and will be used
this year for cattle barn, and we
feel doubly sure the cattle men will
be more than pleased with the more
pleasant quarters and better accom-
modations
Secretary John D. Barkhurst ad-
vises that the fair is shaping up sat
isfactorily and that all signs SO far
as he can tell at this early date, in
dicate a banner year. Like Barnum
C Bailey, our fair is getting bigger
and better. Xxx.
