In making your plans for the next month you can hardly afford to overlook the fact that the Minnesota state fair, the greatest show of its kind on the continent, will take place at Hamline Aug 31 to Sept. 5, and that it will be bigger and better than ever before. There is no need of exaggeration in describing the Minnesota state fair. It is a credit to the North Star state that it should have the best state fair in the country, and this fact is generally conceded. But one other agricultural fair in America even approaches it, and that is the Toronto show, which it is necessary to assign to second place. ‘The fair is truly representative of the whole state, of all its people, of all its industries and of all its resources. It has always been that, but this year, under the initiative of C. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it will be a bigger and more entertain- ing exhibit than it has ever been| before. Because this is the semi- centennial of statehood special effort has been made, and the result is certain to be a truly marvelous exposition of Minnesota’s vast ‘wealth and progress. The state fair has always had the liberal support of the people of Minnesota, and this will furnish no exception to the rule. It deserves popular support, but state pride alone would not provide 1t; its sup- port comes because it is worth vatronizing, and because it is not only instructive but vastly enter- taining. Funkiey's Latest Hit. County Attorney Henry Funkley returned this noon from Thief River Falls where he attended the fair which is being held there. The following is Mr. Funkley’s latest “experience”: “Meat is awfully high in this town. The other day I bought fifty cents worth of steak at one of the local butcher shops and took it home for supper. When I reached the house Mrs. Funkley asked me where the meat was. T looked everywhere but could not find it, although I had started home with it. Next morn- ing when I was putting on my vest, I happened to reach into one of the pockets and found the meat among some small change.* Two Cases In Municipal Court. The first police cases taken before the new municipal court since its establishment last Satarday were brought up yesterday. Dan Smith was charged with being drunk and disorderly. His case was continued until 4 o’clock this afternoon in order to allow the night policeman, who arrested him to appear as a witness. James Traux was taken before Judge Bailey and pleaded guilty to the charge of being drunk. He was fined $10 or twenty days in jail but Judge Bailey suspended sentence on condition that he leave the city immediately, and Traux “skidooed.” Candidate for Register of Deeds. I hereby announce my candidacy for the office of Register of deeds, subject to the will of the voters at the primaries Sept 15.

Chicago, Aug. 7.—Despite a- decid- ed change for the better in weather conditions here, three more residents died as the result of heat prostrations. Early in the day the humidity was high and the temperature increased steadily until after 1 o’clock. Then a shift in the wind sent the humidity mark down to 39 per cent and also halted the increase in the heat wave. The ill effects of the previous day’s heat was still apparent in the tene- ment districts, where the mortality rate among infants has become ab- normally high. Because of the in- creased use of watér on park and private lawns the water supply in some residence sections has dwindled. | L % AMERICAN AERONAUT MAKES § ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT sfeedrebedndrodeoeoffeodrodishdnsinede e d >f'-2-+-§"l~{"i->1‘:‘l4 R THE NEW BALDWIN AIRSHIP.

CREEK BECOMES A ~ STREAM OF FIRE Thousands of Barrels of Burn- ing Whisky Afloat, Midway, Ky., Aug. 7.—This town, half way between Lexington and Frankfort, was the scene of a fire that for a time threatened the town with.destruction. The fire, which is believed to have been of incendiary origin, destroyed five warehouses of the S. J. Greenbaum Distilling com- pany, entailing a loss estimated at $500,000, while the constructive loss to the government in the destruction of whisky in bond, amounting to 2, 300,000 gallons, was nearly $2,500,000. The flames caused by the burning of the 47,000 barrels of whisky, which turned a creek near by into a fiery stream, could be seen for ten miles. The flames as they cowrsed down the surface of the creek destroyed the Southern railroad trestle and half a dozen negro cabins. POWERS SHOULD KEEP OUT Turkey Needs Free Hand in Dealing With Internal Affairs. ‘Washingion, Aug. 7.—Mohamed Ali Bey, the Turkish minister to the Unit- ed States, discussed conditions in Tur- key with much earnestness, taking an optimistic view of the situation there and expressing the belief that the re- forms contemplated by the proclama- tion of the constitution would be worked out satisfactorily and that great benefits would come to the country from them. The minister declared that "if the powers of Europe observed a bengv- olent attitude and kept “hands off” in Turkey during the working out of the proposed reforms he felt certain that the results hoped for would be ac- complished. More would be done by the sultan’s government in permitting her to have a free hand in the man- agement of her own affairs, he added, than ever could be accomplished by other nations in pressing upon Turkey their own demands for internal re- form. Auckland Ready for Fleet. Auckland, N. Z.,Aug. 7.—The excite- ment in Auckland grows feverish as the date for the arrival of the Amer- ican battleship fleet draws near. An immense army of workmen are en- gaged in completing the decorations and the illcminations and the water front and the town present a magnifi- cent spectacle. The main streets are being transformed into fairy. bowers of palms and bunting. The fleet is expected to arrive Sunday morning. FOR ELECTION "~ OF SENATOR Special Session of Iowa Leg- islature Probable. CUMMINS MAY WIN OUT Assembly as Now Constituted Said to Be Dominated by “Progressive” Re- publicans—Gossip From Des Moines Shows a Bitter Factional Feeling That Threatens to Endanger the Party’s Success in Coming Election. Des Moines, Aug. 7.—Towa was de- clared to be in a state of mourning for the late William B. Allison by Governor A. B. Cummins. The gov- ernor and other state officials will go to Dubuque Saturday to attend the funeral. .1t is believed that the governor will soon call a special session of the leg- islature and his chances of being chosen successor to the late Senator Allison will be bright, as the assem- bly is dominated by “progressive” Re- publicans. The session, if called, will probably meet in October. The radical Cummins men declare that it depends on the attitude of the standpatters whether the state shall be the scene of a bitter contest, insist- ing that if they cease fighting Cum- mins and concede his election to the senate there will be no trouble this year. They say it is Now the Governor’'s Turn and that the time has come for the cessation of the fight against him which has characterized the politics of Iowa for the last seven or eight years. They point out that nearly half of the voters of the party en- dorsed the governor for senator as against Allison. They declare that further opposition to him for the sen- atorship will be disastrous, to the party at the fall election. Some of these radicals say it endangers the legislative ticket and others insist that the danger may include the whole ticket. On the other hand is the extremely radical standpatter, who insists that it is the duty of Governor Cummins not to be a candidate for the succes- sion for the reason that it will en- danger the success of the Republican ticket from top to bottom. They say that in some of the districts, even be- fore the death of Senator Allison, rad- ical standpatters were demanding of legislative candidates that they pledge themselves in writing never to vote for Cummins for semator. With this situation these extreme standpatters insist that the state may go Demo- cratic unless Cummins gives up the idea of going to the senate. WILL CONFER WITH MACK Bryan to Spend Three Days in Chi- cago About Aug. 22. . Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 7.—That Will- jam J.

If anything should arise to prevent the conference of in Tue interest of thé it is the American Federation of Labor will issue a statemant urging support of Bryan.” WOULD CORMPLETELY TIE UP THE SYSTEM Operating Employes of Ganadian Pacific May Join Sirike, ‘Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 7.—The Cana- dian Pacific railvoad is replacing some of its strikers in Western shops by Japanese. Several coachloads have been brought in from the mountain section to Swift Current and Medi- cine Hat, while Galicians are on duty at Moose Jaw. The Japanese are be ing gathered at Pacific coast towns and they wiil be placed in the.round- houses as wipers and to do small re- pairs under instructions from fore- men. The crux of the strike situation lies in the attitude of the engineers, firemen and conductors and the indi- cations are that interunion jealousies which have spoiled previous strikes for the men have now disappeared and that four days hence the whole Canadian Pacific railroad service will be tied up by these operatives refus- ing to take out mails on the ground that trains have not been properly inspected. - The demands of the striking me- chanics are: Reduction of hours from ten to nine; to do away with the merit mark system used in connection with time clocks in the works;- that machinists be paid on the 17th in- stead of the 20th, as now; that the company cease alleged endeavors to disrupt the mechanical unions. The men say they are satisfied with the present rate of wages, but hope for better in the future. - Kills Friend, Then Suicides.
