The music of the Iowa State Fair has come to be known as a feature of rare quality for the thousands of visitors. They always get the best. The concerts are worth more than the price of admission to the entire fair. Weber's prize band of America comes this year. John C. Weber is the leader. He comes of a family of musicians and as a conductor he has no superior anywhere. He brings a concert band of 40 pieces. In addition there will be Reed's Military band of Sioux City, the Iowa State band of Des Moines and the Graham orchestra. A dozen good concerts every day. IOWA LIVE STOCK The pre-eminence of Iowa in live stock is shown each year with in creasing emphasis at each succeeding State Fair. The very fact that all the big breeders come regularly to Iowa, they are well how Iowa stands as a live stock state. As showing what Iowa did last year these figures are cited: Horses—Exhibitors, 96; entries 1,589; animals—Exhibitors 82; entries 1, Cattle—Exhibitors, 82; entries, 1, 210; animals, 888. Sheep—Exhibitors, 30; entries 652; animals 652. 60, Swim Exhibitors, 187; entries 2,253; animals, 2,250 Poultry-Exhibitors, 79; entries 1, 154; animals, 1, 540. These figures are likely to be exceeded this year in all departments. The horse is being steadily for a number of years and are known everywhere as among the very best in the world. The exhibit last year was one of the completest and best balanced ever known. There was no preponderance of animals in the exhibit by the best herds. The fair dates this year are Aug. 25-Sept. 2. In swine the top notch was reached two years ago when the new $3,400 swine pavilion was filled to overflowing; will probably surpass any. The sheep and poultry exhibits have come rapidly to the front. A great feature of the dairy exhibit this year will be the showing of "Dairymaid of Pleurhaut," the cow that was raised in the Cow Culture Club for greatest and useful years. BLANCHE BERNDT MEHAFFEY BLANCHE BERNDT MHEAFEY The coming of Blanche Mheafey to the Iowa State Fair this year with the Weber Prize Band will be an event long to be remembered by the music loving crowd of Iowa who make pilgrimages to the Fair. She is no ordinary concert singer, but possesses a rare voice just adapted to the great stakes of outdoor work of the band at all concerts at the Iowa Fair. STATE BYSTANDER.

An Itishman who had begun to prescribe photography went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeing one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "Wc.1," said the chemist, "it will be two-nice as it is, but I want anything in it. I won't charge you for the bottle." "Thea," said Pat. "put a cork in it." The merciful man is now very merciful to his heart. We know of some cats that never fall to come back. The Moros seem to be less dangerous than ice cream cones. There are 130,000 foreign waiters in London, all with palms extended. How seronauts have cities at their mercy in mimic warfare is becoming amazing. With a new record every day it seems there is no limit to the powers of an aeroplane. The Chicago woman whose ear was bitten off by her husband, probably didn't feed him enough. There is a very bad $2 bill in circulation. Insist on getting your change in twenties and fifties. Few horses are wearing bonnets this season, probably because bonnets are absolutely out of style. If you can't swim stay near the shore. If you can swim be satisfied to tell your friends about it. Two Philadelphiaans have lost their lives running for traina. Such unusual haste was sure to be fatal in Philadelphia. Just bottle up your weather groom and strike a temperature average for the year on the 31st day of next December. It may soon be possible to telephone to England from the United States. Very well, but how about getting money that way? Still there is an abiding of optimistic faith that it will prove easier to dodge an aeroplane than an automobile or motorcycle. It would seem that more people are giving their lives to the perfection of the aeroplane than to any former scientific achievement. In twenty-seven years the Kimberley diamond mines have yielded 400,000,000 worth of diamonds. Still our western cornfields do a lot better than that. The man who is earning his own living in these days, however mildly he may be going about it, is truly enough earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. *Amorous males who are frightened at the way women are invading men's occupations should take heart at the success some achieve in trimming hats.* Going down to the sea in ships was the ancient idea of peril. But it was common place safety beside going up in the air in the most modern style of ships. Ten or fifteen deaths among the comparatively few aeronauts and aviators in the last few months are not only depleting their ranks but showing up air flights as mighty dangerous pastime. In printing the new passenger tickets to be used on aircraft lines care should be taken to have it specified top-over privileges may be had when necessary without the signature of the conductor. Counterfeit buttermilk is being sold in some of the drug stores in the cast, and the health authorities say it is very dangerous. Will it never be possible to get a good thing that the counterfeiters can't counterfeit? Farmers after experiment report that the new yield their milk better and their phonograph is kept going in the barn at milking time. This seems to offer a grand scheme of relief in the form of moving all the phonographs to all the cow barns. The oil-burning torpedo boat destroyer Roe reached a speed of 31 knots an hour in a test of the Delaware breakwater, although the contract requirement was only 28 knots, and is now acknowledged to be the fastest exclusively oil-burning torpedo boat destroyer in the United States navy. The American shipbuilder has the reputation of cultivating a margin of safety, and turning out boats which exceed the maximum requirements of contracts. When the automobile collides with the locomotive it is seldom that the latter has to go to the repair shop. The work of a contributing editor is sometimes made difficult by the friends who insist on coming around during office hours to talk politics and all hunting stories. Having all the news about the hot spell that was to fill to print, and some that was not news, it seems that we might have a little cool weather for variety in the news columns. After planning your Christmas shopping better figure on how saneily you are going to spend the next fourth. The prize cow at the Missouri agricultural college produces 110 pounds of milk a day. But with our cook on the job, there wouldn't be a half ounce of cream in it. If the analysis of hoky-poky is correct we are unable to understand how the flies that gather upon the cones manage to stay so long without seeming to be overcome.

SEEK FOR GALLAGHER'S AID New York Police Have Theory Assaili mant of Maxime Hadr Agomonem. New York—New York police are engaging themselves with the theory that James J. Gallagher, the would-be assassin of Mayor Gaynor, had an accomplish. Gallagher denies this. Mayor Gaynor will be taken to the Attackers as soon as his condition permits, but whether he will undergo an operation to remove the bullet before his trip to the mountain has not been determined. Secretary Robert Adamson said Monday that mayor seemed stronger. The event is taking more nourishment and his sleep is better his attendants feel that he will recruit his strength rapidly. His appetite is good. STABS CONVICT TO DEATH Colored inmate of Bridewell Plunges Shears into Benchmate—Causes Panic Among Prisoners.

EXCUSES 36 BROWNE JURORS MORE VENIREMEN ADMIT THEY WERE APPROACHED. Judge Kersten in Bribery Trial Deals Blow to "Crooked Work" in Selecting Jurymen. Chicago. — In the trial Legislator Lee O'Nell Browne charged with bribery in connection with the election of the Attorney General, O'Normer, Judge Kersten, or caused 45 retirements from service when they admitted that they or members of the families had been approached by men interested in the case. When court convened Judge Kersten called the whole 60 special panel before him and asked all those who had been spoken to regarding the Browne case to step forward. A handful of men stepped out. The court then ordered those whose families had been spoken to, advance, and about two-thirds of the panel responded. The court then ordered the attorneys to proceed with the selecting of a jury from those left. The charges of attempted jury "fixing" by tampering with venirem were practically dropped after a conference between the state's attorneys and the attorneys for the defense. No amdavits from venirem, charging that they had been approached by either side, were presented in court, and the examination of prospective jurors was proceeded with. CALIFORNIA IS INSURGENT Hiram W. Johnson, Exponent of Anti-Machine Doctrines, Wins Gubernatorial Nomination in Primary. San Francisco-California is Insurgent in its Republican politics. Hiram W. Johnson, leading exponent of anti-machine doctrines, has swept the field in Tuesday's primaries, winning his party's nomination for governor by a plurality that will border on 50,000 when all returns are in. Just how great was the extent of the disaster to the stalwarts cannot be known from, but every indication points to a clean-cut declaration by the party to a clean-cut declaration by the political activities of the Southern Party. Johnson's supporters crowded his headquarters offering him congratulations. Among his callers was Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. It is asserted that the progressives have carried to victory two new Insurgent nominees for congressmen, William Kent in the Second district and W. D. Stephens in the Seventh. STEAMERS CRASH; 39 PERISH Thirty-Two Passengers and Seven Seamen Drown When Vessel Collide in Fog.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON Per Cent. of Sufferers Is Enormous and There Seems but One Remedy. From several investigations that have been made by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, it is estimated that on an average about fifteen per cent. of the prison population of the country is afflicted with tuberculosis. On this basis, out of the 80,000 prisoners housed in the penal institutions of the United States at, any given time, not less than 12,000 are infected with this disease. If the Philippine islands and other ingular possessions were taken into consideration the number would be much larger. Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania and Ohio show such ingular conditions that many warriors admit that these places of detention are death traps. Similar conditions could be found in almost every state, and in the majority of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildings and the erection of new ones. LEG A MASS OF HUMOR "About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it, and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would not be running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. "I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuticura Remedies a trist. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resolvent in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticurament, the troglodyte was only disappeared, the wound was as fine as the one I was born. Now after alapse of six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 112 E. Cabot St, Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909." TOO LATE. Dr. Pillem—There must be something radically wrong with your system to have your hair fall out so. You will have to diet. Skantlox—Dye it? I'm afraid, doc, there's not enough of it left to dye.

To Prevent the Spread of Intile Paralysis HOW TO TREAT THE DISEASE Iowa's State Board of Health Begins Strenuous Campaign Against the Spread of Infantile Des Moines, Aug. 19—Iowa's state board of health began a strenuous crusade against the infantile paralysis peril by passing a set of regulations recommending quarantine of cases and methods of treating the disease. The action of the board of health followed a conference of experts and other physicians in the state house Wednesday. Great emphasis was placed by the doctors upon the need of arousing public sentiment to the danger of the disease. Following are the rules: All cases of infantile paralysis or suspected cases shall be reported by the attending physician or head of the family to the local board of health. The state board of health recommends the quarantine of all cases for at least two weeks after the beginning of the disease and the thorough disinfection of infected premises after the termination of the disease. It is a well established fact that the infectious material is found in the secretions of the nose and mouth of afflicted persons and the board therefore recommends the use of sprays or gargles of one per cent solution of hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection and to ease. All discharges from the patient should be disinfected by means of bichloride of mercury or carbolic acid.

PAUPERISM IS INDIAN PERII PAUPERISM IS INDIAN PERII SALES OF LANDS WOULD MEAN RED MEN'S RUIN. Cecil Lyon Tells Gore Inquiry Committee His Connection With McMurray Contracts. Sniphur, Okla. — Witnesses testified before me. Gore congressional Indian and investigating committee that it the Indian land in which were sold and the $30,000,000 proceeds were turned over to the Indians in cash, the state within ten years would be flooded with painers. It was asserted that many of the Indians who signed the McMurray contract, allowing a ten per cent. "attorney fee" to J. F. McMurray and his associates, were financially irresponsible. They would soon squander the cash. It was declared, and within a few years the country would be confronted with the problem of how to take care of them. Except for the appearance on the stand of Cecil A. Lyon, Republican national committee of Texas, the witnesses were all Indians. Mr. Lyon told of his financial interest in the old tribal McMurray contracts, which provided for a ten per cent, fee, but which were approved by President Roosevelt in 1908. Asked if he had been invited by McMurray to join in the deal because of his political influence and his acquaintance with Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Lyon said he supposed he was, but he also attributed the invitation to his business ability. Many Chickasaws testified they were willing to give McMurray as high as 25 per cent. attorney's fees if he would sell the land within a year. Sulphur, Okla.-The congressional special committee probing into the more bribery charges again gave its attention to the fabulous fees paid by Indian to attorneys who they employed. The revelations have caused President Taft to send here for a complete statement of the payments made to lawyers by the Indian tribes. It was testified that J. F. McMurray, holder of the $3,000,000 fee contracts, had many other "fat" contracts with the Indians. At the time a $750,000 fee was paid to his firm for prosecuting the citizenship cases he also had, it was asserted, two contracts with the Chickasaws which paid him $5,000 a year each and two contracts with the Cherokees which paid him $5,000 each, besides expense allowance. BELGIAN EXPOSITION BURNS Brussels—One hundred thousand visitors were thrown into a panic by a fire that wiped out the entire Belgian exposition. Two persons are known to be dead and 40 injured, some fatally. They started in the French section and had gained considerable headway before they were discovered. The instant the alarm was given, the 100,000 persons at the exposition became panic-striken and a wild rush was made for the exits. The people fought and struggled in a maddened attempt to get out of the place. Many of those hurt received their injuries by falling to the floor and being trampled upon by the crowd. Brussels—As a result of the partial destruction of the Belgian exposition by fire Sunday night, the executive committee at a meeting held Monday decided to close the fair until the ruins of the burned sections could be cleared away, when the exposition will again be opened. It is possible to estimate the damage caused by the fire that wiped out the fairy-like structures and caused two deaths and thirty injuries. The losses, however, will not be so great as was at first believed, when during the excitement of the confession they were estimated roughly at $100,000,000. The entire Belgian and British sections; the whole Kermesne of Brussels, the Coney Island of the exposition, with water clutches, slides and other special entertainments and everything west of the Avenue des Nations, were destroyed, by heric work of the firemen and troops and the use of dynamite in blowing up buildings in the path of the flames, the fire was checked. Practically everything in the American, Danish, Russian, Norwegian, Austrian, Japanese, Turkish and Swiss sections was saved. Only the facades and about one-third of the entire French section were burned. The British loss is heavy. Fortunately the most valuable art treasures, which had been loaned to the exposition or acquired by it, were removed and to reach the flames of the pillaging criminals who attempted to take advantage of the disaster.

FLIES TO LONDON AMERICAN AVIATOR TRAVELS FROM PARIS TO LONDON, CAPTURING PRIZE. CARRIED SINGLE PASSENGER Le Blanc Wins $20,000 Pursue In Cross-Country Race, Having Covered 485 Miles in Less Than 12 Hours—Latham Craft Wrecked. London.—The youthful American aviator, Mossant, accompanied by his mechanician, Albert, Wednesday made a remarkable flight in a biplanet from Paris to London across the English channel. It was the first time this feat was ever accomplished, although often tried. Mossant accomplished his remarkable flight from Paris to Calais and across the channel in company with his mechanician, Albert. By making his remarkable flight he captures the cup that a London paper offered and the proceeds of the subscription raised in England for Grace and the uncle of the university competitor in the London-Manchester flight offered as an award in the Paris-London competition. Hubert Latham, who started from Issy, a suburb of Paris, to race Moussant to London, met with a series of accidents, the last at Amlens, culminating in the wrecking of his machine as he was preparing to resume the flight. Latham escaped unhurt, but was out of the race. He was the last stage of Moussant's flight, the trial flight, which was accomplished in a strong channel breeze, the wind being so high that experienced aviators looked upon the start an foofhardy. It was such a wind as repeatedly deterred Blierlot, Latham and other aviators from attempting the passage of the straits. Paris, France.—M. Le Blanc, the aviator, arrived at Issy, in the suburbs of Paris, at 6:45 a. m. Wednesday and is the winner of the cross-country flight which started August 7. The distance of the race was approximate, the distance to the airport 8,000, offered by Paris newpaper. Aubrun was 20 minutes behind Le Blanc in reaching Paris, alighting at 7:05. Le Blanc, the winner, covered the clue in 11:56:59. He used a Bliert monopole. TROOPS TO COMBAT FLAMES Boldiers Are Rusher to National Forests in Northern West Fight Washington.—Forest fires in the northwest, threatening destruction to human life and to millions of dollars' worth of property, have alarmed officials of the interior department and forest service. The soldiers have appealed from the fire zones additional United States soldiers were Saturday rushed to assist in combating the flames. The soldiers have been dispatched to the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Lewis and Clark, Mont., Wallows, Mont., and Colville, Wash., national forests; the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Glacier National Park, Montana. The troops, have been spread over the entire fire belt and Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, has informed the interior department and forest service officials that the assistance of the army will be given in meeting the emergency to the soldiers available if necessary. Spokane, Wash.—At Wallace, Idaho hundreds of pounds of dynamite, hung to the limbs of trees on high points surrounding the city and exploded in the hope that the effect might produce rain to check the devastation wrought by the fire. As a result, for rain began falling Sunday, for the first time in two months. The fall has been heavy. A dispr. chl from Stiles, Idaho, says the situation in the Elk City district is the worst in the history of that region.

Several world's records were made in the final heat of the 2:07 trot, when the Harvester, driven by Ed Geers, covered the mile in 1922, cutting quarter of a second from the record held by Crescus for nine years. The 2:02 mile also gives the Harvester a world's record for five-year-old trotters; a world's third heat record, stallions, mares or geldings; a world's record for stallions. The track, horsemen, said, was two minutes slow. One Dead, 53 Hurt in Wreck. Newvale, Mc.

F. Clemmer, Sunbury, Pa. "At that time my baby's face was like a raw and bleeding piece of meat. Medicine from three different physicians, besides various salves recommended by friends, all seemed to make the Eczema worse. Then another mother recommended another once, although I had no more faith in it than in the rest I had tried; but never did I spend fifty cents to better advantage. The first and second days I noticed a remarkable change, and now at the end of the third week, my pretty blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked baby is perfectly well again. I think the cure was surely something remarkable. Resinol Ointment and Soap did in three weeks that everything was fine. My baby had been positively disfigured, now his complication is all right again." Resinol Ointment cures all skin troubles, from pimples to the most disfiguring eruptions and rashes. The first application stops the intense itching of Eczema, Iching Piles, Pruritus, etc., and subdues the pain of a burn or scald instantaneously. It is sold in every leading drug store in the world.

SIMPLE STATEMENT OF FACT Mr. Johnson Unable to See Where in Any Way He Had "Put His Foot in It." It is common to deplore the lack of humor in a person. Yet the very want of it may save a certain amount of investment, as was the case on a certain occasion with President Johnson. "He was one day," says a writer in Harper's Magazine, "visiting my mother, and a friend, Mrs. Knox, a widow, came in. She had known Mr. Johnson some years before, when he was a member of the legislature, but they had not met since then. After mutual recognition, Mr. Johnson said, 'How is Mr. Knox? I have not seen him lately.'" "He has been dead six years," said Mrs. Knox. "I thought I hadn't seen him on the street," said Mr. Johnson. "When Mrs. Knox left, my mother said, laughing. That was a funny mistake of yours about Mr. Knox. "What mistake did I make?" said Johnson. "I said I hadn't seen him on the street, and I hadn't." Qualit Table Manners Jerome S. McWade, the Duluth millionaire, talked at a dinner about the delights of a backwoods vacation. "I go to a quaint backwoods village every summer," he said, "and numberless are the quaint people I meet there. "Old Boucher, for instance, the janitor of the village church, is most amusing with his quintet ways. I had old Boucher with me a day, and old obter was served with a mayonnaise sauce. When my servant offered this sauce to Boucher, the old man stuck his knife in it, took up a little on the blade, tilted it, then shook his head and said: Try This. This Summer.

Quotation Marks. Senator Beveridge, in an after-dinner speech in Cleveland, said of a corrupt politician: "The man's excuse is as absurd as the excuse that a certain minister offered on being convicted of plagiarism. "Brethren," said this minister, it is true that I occasionally borrow for a person but I always acknowledge the fact in the pulpit by raising two fingers at the beginning and two at the end of the borrowed matter, thus indicating that it is quoted."* Men are always betting that their sins will not find them out.

Doll House Library: A search for a child's short story, "The Griffin and the Minor Canon," in a volume all by itself revealed to a persistent city shopper the thought and money that are expended on the furnishing of dolls' houses. Book stores had not the story in a single volume, but in a department store where a woman interviewed had recently been transferred from the toy department and was able to contribute a helpful hint. "I think," she said, "you can find it in one of the dolls' houses downstairs." Curiosity had by that time become a sauce to literature, so the shopper hurried downstairs to inspect the doll houses. Three of the most expensive dolls in the library constituted a score of diminutive books and each book contained a child's story complete. One of them was "The Griffin and the Minor Canon." New Version. Lawyers have a peculiar system of abbreviation, such words as trustees, executors being cut down to trees, exors, and admors. This practice led to the practice of solicitor who, somewhat late in life, abandoned his profession and entered the church. A few Sundays after his ordination he startled his congregation while reading the lesson by delivery. "I see men as trustees walking." Less Lavish. "I saw 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' played recently." "So?" "I think I'll read the book." "I think I'll read the book." "Can you be disappointed. The book measures only one little Eva and one Lawyer Marks." - Louisville Courer Journal.
