WES W Republican Candidate for RIGHT, Nomination for Sheriff. Minnesota’s Great Fair. 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 con*inent, 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 fairin America | even approaches it, and that is the! Toroato 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 patronizing, and because it is not only instructive but vastly enter- taining. 1 Great Race for State Fair. Defotees of the “sport of kings” will have an additional incentive to watch at the races at the Minnesota State Fair, Aug. 31 Sept. 5 through ! the performance of Highball. In the second heat of the free-for-all trot on | the Peoria track last Friday, when this remarkable horse went the fast- | est mile ever trotted by a gelding in 2:03 3-4. This equals the Sweet Marie record, second heat made in 1907, and sets a new world’s record in the time made by a gelding on a race track during a race. | nomination for Judge of Probate, Highball did the quarter in 29:3-4, the half in one minute flat, and the three-quarter in 1:30 3-4. He won the race in straight heats. Highball, as most horse fanciers know, is one of the entries in the $6000 free-for-all trot announced for the first day of the Minnesota State Fair, and he will be in one of the fastest fields ever assembled on any track in the country. Try It Girls.

YOUNG TURKS TRIUMPH Cahinet Composed of Their Nominees and Commanding Public Confidence Established on a Constitutional Ba- sis—Sultan Surrenders Claim to Right to Appoint the Ministers of War and Marine. 8.—All the the palace previously Constantinople, Aug. prominent officials of camarilla, who had not fled the city or been incarcerated have been arrested. They include Riza Pasha, the former minister of war, and Raghb Pasha, one of the court chamberlains. Raghb Pasha was taken only after a stubborn re sistance. He had barricaded himself in his house and he opened fire on the police with a rifle from an up stairs window. The 'Young Turks have nqw com pletely triumphed. A new cabinet prac tically composed of their nominees and commanding public confidence is es tablished on a constitutional basis, the sultan having given up his claim tc the right to appoint the ministers of war and marine. Kamil Pasha, whc for the third time has become grand vizier, throughout his career has struggled for a comstitutional regime and thrice has suffered exile for his opinions, Within the space of a fortnight since the proclamation of the consti tution a regime appears to be firmly established and the court camarilla completely dispersed, without any dis- turbance. The Young Turks’ commit- tee publishes a remarkable document calling on the people not to attempt to satisfy personal vengeance on the ground that the indulgence in person- alities is opposed to its sublime ideal, It calls upon all the government offi- cials to do their duty and to report to the committee any difficulties ‘which they may encounter in so doing. The document prohibits all private communications with the palace and urges the people to trust the commit- tee and obey it implicitly. TRAIN PARTLY DERAILED.

Z, Aug. 8—Parlia ment has adjourned for a week in or der to enable the members of the twc houses to devote themselves to the entertainment of the American fleet Only two members, both Maoris, ob jected to adjourning.

The raiiroads are taxed to their utmost and coast steamers, each one crowded to its capacity, are mak- ing special tripa. By night as well as by day large crowds fill the streets, watching the completion of the decorations and the flluminations. The decorations are highly artistic. A wealth of natural foliage has been used and, inter woven with flags, the green branches have produced an effect like a scene from fairyland. American, English and Maori phrases have been used in a hundred diferent ways to convey the idea of welcome. The fine weather continues and the coming of the Américan vessels prom: ises to be grasted by a display of en- thusiasm that will far surpass any- thing in the history of the Dominion, not excepting the occasion of the visit of the Duke of York.
