In making your plans for the next month you ¢an 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 this fact is generally concéded. But one other agricultural fair in 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 haszalways 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 truly marvelous vast certain to be a exposition of Minnesota’s 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- GOUNTRY NEIGHBORS | Live Correspondents of the Pioneer Write the News from Their Localities. Clementson. Aug. 19.

CONFERENCE OF NEW - ENGLAND LEADERS Chairman Hitchcock Presides at Boston Meeting, Boston, Aug. 25—The third of the big district conferences, which are a feature of the management of the Re- publican campaign by Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, is being held here ot the Hotel Louraine. At this meet- ing all of the national committeemen of the New England states are pres- ent. Greater importance is attached to the gathering than to those held in Colorado Springs and Chicago because of the early elections in Vermont and Maine and the effect that strong cam- paigning in those states will have on other sections. . The conference chiefly is for the purpose of arranging details of the campaign, such as the assignment of speakerd, the gathering of funds to carry on the work, the distribution of literature and other routine matters. The state leaders will make known their wants in relation to speakers and literature and the national com- mittee will meet the.demands as far as possible. Many strong speakers have been assigned to Vermont and Maine al- ready and others popular in those states will be sent there as rapidly as they become available. A strong ef- fort will be made to hold the Repub- lican vote recorded in 1904 in order to influence voters in other parts of the country. At the cpering of the conference Mr. Hitcheock de a brief statement. He explained it had been decided to have sent (0 national headquarters reports on the effeclivencss of speak- ers and he =aid there should be no hesitancy oa ihe pari of the directors of this branch of the work to with- draw any sjeakers v ho failed lo make a good impr n.

Heidelberg, Germany, Aug. 25— Baron Speck von Sternberg, the Ger- man ambassador to the United States, died in the Hotel Victoria in this city. The baroness, who was Miss Lillian May Langham of Louisville, Ky., was with her husband at the end. The immediate cause of Baron voa Sternberg’s death was inflammation of the lungs. He was fifty-six years of age and fought through the Franco- German war. The baron and the baroness came here from Hamburg the end of last month to consult with Professor Czerny, a skin specialist, concerning a malady from which the ambassador has been suffering for some time. After a prolonged examination of the AMBASSADOR VON STERNBERG. diseased part on the left side of Baron von Sternberg’s head Professor Czer- ny affirmed that the trouble was not concer, but a lupns, and that he could cure it. Both the ambassador and his wife were immensely cheered at this opinion. Baron von Sternberg is described as having felt that his long "agony was nearly over and that soon he would be a well man again. His wife also shared that hope. It had been arranged that Baron von Sternberg should go to Berlin the middle of September to be received in audience by Emperor William previ- ous to his return to Washington. It ‘was thought desirable that the ambas- sador be at his post during the con- cluding weeks of the presidential cam- paign. Baron von Sternberg left New York for Germany on May 16 last. Very Popular in Washington. Washington, Aug. 25.—News of the death of Ambassador von Sternberg came not as a surprise but as a great ghock to his personal and official friends in Washington. Ry officials of the state department and by those who were so fortunate as to enjoy his confidence and friengship the death of Baron Sternberg is regarded as a dis- tinct personal loss. ‘When he left Washington May 15 for his home in CGermany the ambas- sador himself seemed to those close to him to have a premonition that he never would return. It is no detraction from any man to say that the German ambassador per- sonally and officially: was one of the most popular and highly esteemed members of the diplomatic corps in ‘Washington. While a resident of the American capital he became intimate- ly associated with a coterie of prom- inent men in civil and official life, of whom President Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of State Adee and Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the United States, were three. They were to- gether much of the time. Some of them were interested enthusiastically in athletic sports. Baron von Stern- berg formed an intimate relationship with Mr. Roosevelt. They had much in common. Both were fine students and eminent scholars. Baron von Sternberg, although small of stature and seemingly delicate of physique, was an accomplished horseman and he and Mr. Roosevelt rode a great deal together. In the long rides and walks ‘which they took about Washington the friendship which in later years was to be so valuable both to America end Germany was cemented. Baron von Sternberg always was a welcome guest at the White House. He sustained with the president prgb- 8bly more intimate personal and offi- clal relations than any other diplomat sccredited -to Washington. During Ambassador Sternberg’s official - so- journ in Washiugton he became ac- quainted with Miss Lillian May Lang- ham of Louisville, Ky., whom he aft- erward married. * Minnesota Wins Tax Fight. St. Paul, Aug. 25.—Judge Oscar Hal- 1am has filed his decision in the case of the state of Minnesota against the Western Union Telegraph company and finds that the state is entitled to eallect $40,564.07 back taxes. This amount covers a period of five years, from 1901 to 1905, in which the tele- graph company failed to pay the full amounts it was assessed, claiming that the valuation of $1,000,000 the state had placed on its property was excessive.

PRESUMABLY WITH ULTERIOR MOTIVES Alieged Fake Sales and' Pur- chases on Stock Exchange. New York, Aug. 25.—Thorough in- vestigation of transactions on the slock exchange last Saturday, in which it is alleged that “matched” purchases and sales were made, will be undertaken by a committee of five to be appointed by the president of the exchange. The board of govern- ors met to consider the allegations that “fake” sales and purchases had been made on Saturday, presumably with ulterior motives, though the ob- Ject of the alleged fmproper transac- tions has not yet developed. The gov- ernors decided that a complete in- quiry should be made and instructed President Thomas of the exchange to appoint a committee of five to under- take the work. Politics Cause of Shooting.

Fitzgerald Arraigned at Chi- cago on Charge of Stealing Govern- ment Funds to the Amount of $173, , C00—Federal Authorities Will Take No Hand in the Prosecution Until Further Evidence Is Secured. Chicago, Aug. 25.—C. W. Fitzgerald, ! arrested on a charge of stealing $173,- 000 of United States funds from As- sistant United States Treasurer Will- jam Boldenweck on Feb. 20, 1907, was admitted to bail by Judge Chetlain, Counsel for the defendant pleaded for an immediate hearing, but the court postponed the examination until Aug, 31 to allow the state’s attorney to col- lect further evidence. “I have not a nickel that doesn't belong to me,” exclaimed Fitzgerald to reporters. He gave his attorneys an elaborate explanation of the mcney he had used In speculation. When he was dis- charged from the government employ, he declared, he had $2,600, his wife possessed abeut $2,900 and later he in- herited betwesn $4,000 and $5,000. His egg speculation began with an in- vestment of only $200, he asserted, as he had only to put up sufficlent mar- gins to cover probable fluctuations of prices. This deal netted him $700. He then interested several others and together they made up a pool of $5,- 000, by the use of which they made some profit. As to the house he pur- chased he said that it was offered for $4,500, with a $4,000 mortgage. He and Mrs, Fitzgerald secured the prop- erty by payiug down $5,300. e The evidence against Fitzgerald was worked up by a private detective &gency and no move was made by the government authorities in court. A representative of the United States district attorney's office, however, was present. Assistant United States District At- torney Davis stated that the federal authorities had concluded not to take part in the prosecution of Fitzgerald unless further evidence against the defendant is unearthed.
