DES MOINES, Aug. 25. (Special.) The
Iowa State fair, now open, Is tho forty
seventh annual exhibition of the society,
and with this experience back of tho man
agers It Is morally certain that despite un
favorable conditions for the Iowa farmers,
this fair will be successful ln every way.
Thero had been so much said about tho
crop losses and tho discouragements for
the farmers tho past season that tho fair
managers began to feel dubious about the
fair of 1901, but by Judicious advertising
nnd determined effort to get out tho ex
hibitors they secured the largest list of en-
trlfg ln lhe nlstory 0f the fair,
There are
nearly 1.R00 entries In the departments of
cattle, horses, sheep and swine. The speed
entries are fully up to tho usual standard
and nil races will bo given. In tho ma
chinery departments thero will not bo ns
much heavy machinery, but ln tho lino of
the smaller agricultural Implements nnd
novelties for tho farms nnd shops, the ex.
h 1 1)1 1 Is excellent. In poultry and brcs the
exhibit Is good. Tho fruit nnd agricultural
products aro smallor than usual, but In tho
matter of manufactured products the ex
position building Is well filled. Ono cause
of annoyance to the fair management has
been the fact that a change was mado ln
the time of closing ordinary entries, from
Saturday night to Friday night, with th
result that hundreds of exhibitors who
brought their stuff here wcro shut out. This
was especially true ln tho fruit depart
ment. No Nnnriny Fair.
For many years It had been tho custom
to have tho fair open on Sunday, but this
was not done and the gates of the fair were
j open todny only to those who havo busi
ness on ine grounus, i uo lair lu uKiuin
proper commences on Monday. Aside from
tho fair exhibits thero will be a line of
amusements and ln the evening fireworks,
Tho Centcrvlllo band. Is here to furnish
music during the fair week. Tho speed pro
gram begins tomorrow with a 2:14 pacing
raco for a $500 purse, In which thero aro
seven entries; tho 2:50 trotting race for
$500, In which there uro seven entries, and
the three-quarter milo running dash for
$100. The 2:23 pacing raco for a purse of
S1.000 will be on Tuesday afternoon. There
aro a sufficient number of races to make
good program every afternoon to Friday.
Tho railroads report that they have never
before carried so many persons Into Des
Moines tho first fow days of tho fair as this
year. Tho Interest ln tho fair Is great nil
over the state, and It Is expected thero will
be at least IKO.OOO visitors during the weok.

KANSAS C1TV, Aug. 25. Captain James
McQueen Forsyth, U. S. N who
had charge of the naval station at Key
West during the Spanish-American war,
pent today in Kansas City whllo enrouto
from San Francisco to his homo nt Phil
adelphia. To a reporter Captain Forsyth
talked of tho Schley-Sampson controversy,
nd tho paper will quote him as saying:
"While wo havo been Instructed by tho
Navy department not to discuss the merits
of the caso, everyone knows that the navy
looks upon the controversy ns nn unfortun
ato affair. Wo believe thero was plenty of
glory for nil concerned.
"Tho fact that a Junior man was placed
In command above his seniors Is responsible
for tho wholo matter. Sampson was n cap
tain and tho seventeenth ranking officer of
tho navy. No one over thought him ns tho
successor of Admiral Slcard and I don't
bcllevo ho ever thought of It himself. But
ho was familiar to tho people, of Washington
nd they decided to placo him ln command.
Of course, tho officers who outrnnked him
did not like It. It Is not to bo expected that
thoy would. But Washington said Sampson
and that settled tho matter. Schloy was
among tho officers outranking Sampson nnd
as he was thrown directly under the Junior's
command, he naturally felt tho promotion
more than any of tho others.
"Tho battle of Santiago wns ono of tho
most brilliant In history. Regardless of
who was responsible for such effcctlvo exe
cution thero was glory enough for both
Sampson nnd Schley. Tho proscnt controv
ersy only serves to dim tho brilliancy of
the victory nnd It Is to bo greatly deplored.
That anyone should question tho bravery of
either of tho men Is particularly unfor-
unato."
Captain Forsyth, who will bo retired Sep
tember 15, under the forty-years' servlco
act, has been associated with Admiral
Schley nnd Sampson at different times dur
ing his long life In tho navy. When ho left
Key West he took command of tho battle
ship Indiana. Later ho was chief of staff
for Admiral Watson ln charge of tho Asiatic
squadron, and for tho past several months
has been second ln command nt tho Mnro
Island yards at San Francisco. Captain
Forsyth left tonight for St. Louis, where ho
will spend a few days beforo proceeding to
Philadelphia.

Kendall of the United States Brewing as

of the published reports concerning a con
certed lockout of brewery workmen
throughout tho country on September 1;
"No such action on tho part of the brew-
cry proprietors has been thought of. Tho
well defined policy of tho United Stntes as
sociation and Its officers is not to In any
way antagonize organized labor, their pur
pose being to try to modify such arbitrary,
annoying and vcxntlous rules ns have from
tlmo to time been adopted by tho unions.
No nrbitrnry rule will bo resorted to to
accomplish this object. A recently pub
lished circular, which gave alarm to tho
brewery unions nnd which wns supposed to
havo come from tho United States Brewers'
association, was sent out without Its
knowledge and approval and does not re
flect tho sentiment of tho association."

widow of 19S Dodgo street, received ns a
gift from a friend a solitary rose, mado
moro benutlful by Its loneliness; but at
tached to It wns a strango looking paper,
which declared that tho possessor was en
titled to 200 shares of copper stock.
This friend was a western gentleman
with whom tho lady had been acquainted
for years. Ho wanted to send something
as a token of their friendship, nnd. mnn-
like, couldn't think of a present that was
suitable, so sent tho stock certificates.
Mrs. Necdham laid tho certificates aside,
not thinking that they wero of any value.
A friend seeing them ono day told her of
tho truo valuo of them and excited her
Interest.
Sho looked Into tho matter nnd found
that Amalgamated Copper was going up
rapidly. Then tho fuver of speculation
entered her veins, she Bcanncd tho stock
reports daily and gleefully watched hor
stock soaring higher. In the meantime
she was diligently securing all tho knowl.
edge she could on stocks nnd securities.
nnd tho further sho got Into the mysteries
oi mo game tno moro enthusiastic sho
grow. When copper got as high as, in her
Judgment, It would go, sho sold out, and
tno lounuation or her fortuno was laid,
iuosi. women would havo been nntlnB,i
with ns much as she had mado. hut nnt
Mrs. Needham. Sho was made out of differ
ent material. Tho game was too fascinat
ing, too delightfully glorious, you know.
as sho said, and sho loved to experience tho
oxcucmont it Drought. Sho now undor
siunas mo newllrlerlng terms, nnd, whllo
fiho didn't plunge, sho dabbled quite ex
tensively, ai nrst sho thought that tho
very orthodox folks among her acquaint-
ances would raise their hands In holy horror
at mo thought of her speculating and all
tho transactions wero carried on throuch
agents outside of tho city. Her courago.
however, grew with her successes and now
sho knows of no reason why tho matter
mould bo secret. Every parcel of stork
she has bought has gone up several nolnts
and sho doesn't hesltato to let eo when
sno tninKs it has rison nil that It can stand,
Sho has outstripped many of tho profes-
sionni siock DroKers that havo been In tho
business for years, as everything she
touches seems to Jump at onco.

If I should fall my only regrets would bo
that I did not have better Judgment. There
Is no reason why a womnn shouldn't Invest
hor money ln stocks as well as men. It Is
truo that thero Is a great risk ln tho busi
ness, but tho gains moro than compensate
for the risks. I never Invest more than I
can stand to lose If my Judgment should
prove faulty. I foci that ono should novor
risk their all on anything. Never go ln a

thing hastily Is another. When I havo tho
slightest fear that my stock Is going to

With tho closest scrutiny, It becomes evi
dent that tho bee docs not, llko other crea
tures, houso Its tonguo In Its mouth, says
a writer In tho Chnutaunuan. but neatly
folds It back beneath Its head. Bumblo
bocs, when disturbed, have n way of threat-
oninK with tholr Jaws, whllo the honoy bee
has tho moro direct method of settling In
truders with her sting.
Tho Jaws of tho boo nro very creditable
organs and can glvo oulte a formldablo nip.
Catch a bee In a net and seo how viciously
It will blto at the meshes, working Its Jaws
sldcwlse Instead of up and down.
Wo call this wonderful Implement of tho
bco a tongue, but In reality It Is moro
than this, for tho wholo arrangement con
sists ot two slender filaments called
maxillae, tho under Hp and the actual
tongue. If a drop of honey lies near the
surfaco of o (lower tho slender, actlvo
tongue, darting out from tho caso formed by
mo maxiuae, iicks u up with tno samo
easo that a dog licks a plato. Should tho
tubo of the flower bo elongated tho beo has
nt command another length of tongue,
which Is shot out from within and shuts up
llko a telescope when no longer wanted.
io appreciato ruiiy this dollcate organ
you should watch the bee separato It Into
Its component parts and clean It out. Tho
lengthening process of tho proboscis, as the
tongue and Its allied parts aro sometimes
called. Is accomplished by n serlos of
springs nnd hinges. In addition to this
telescoping power the tonguo Is a hairy
member, tho hairs arranged In rings, tho
longest ones toward tho center. They assist
In lifting In the nectar and In pumping It
Into the mouth. Thence It goes to the
honey sac.
