Madison , Nob. , Sept. 8. Special te >
The News : The annual fair of the
Madison Agricultural Society opens
today , to continue for four days. The
ofllcers and members of the society
Imvo been busy fen- some time past In
preparing for the event and are satis
fied that the grounds and the track
and buildings are In better shape than
ever , and are likewise confident that
the premium list and race program
\ will call out a better exhibit e > f agri
cultural products and fast heirsos than
ever before In the history of the asso
ciation.
It Is probable that the greater portion
tion of today will bo taken up In re
cording entries , placing exhibits and
other preliminary work , although much
of this has been done during the past
several days , and today's visitors will
find that the fair on this first day is
well worthy of your attention. A la
dles' room Is one of the lately aelded
conveniences for the comfort of the
women and children who will attend.
The buildings are In first class repair
and the track Is In excellent condition ,
so that nothing remains hut for the
weather to he right to make the fair
one of the most enjoyable and larg
est attended of any heretofore , held.
Many concessions have been granted
that will provide side attractions , and
the management has arranged with
the Booth Bros. ' company of Kansas
City to give free attractions on each
day of the fair. This company's pro
gram Includes first class , up-to-date
features and those who attend will find
enjoyable entertainment during the
1
entire time of their visit.
The speed program Is of great prom
ise , with the best field of horses ever
before entered , and the races will be
speedy and hotly contested.
Tomorrow will be a big day , and
it is anticipated that the attendance
will be largo , as assurances have been
received that many are coming over
from Norfolk , and the people from the
country and other towns will help
swell the crowd. The two following
days will unquestionably bo good ones ,
with large crowds in attendance , all
depending , of course , more or less on
the weather , the present prospects for
which are very encouraging.
A feature of the entertainment to
morrow will be the baseball game be
tween Tilden and Newman Grove.
The Tllden team has been making an
' excellent record this season , and is
making unusual preparations for tills
contest , with the enthusiastic support
of the people of that town to back
them , and there appears to be a de
cided Inclination to favor them on the
betting. Newman Grove also has a
decided reputation as a gcxxl baseball
town , and It may be depended on that
no effort will he spared to take the
game from Tilden. At all events the
contest will bo a hard fought one and
the merit of the players alone will decide
cide the result. It will he one of the
best games of the season In the county ,
beyond a doubt , and will serve to at
tract many who would not come to
see the fair alone.
Excellent programs have also been
prepared for Thursday and Friday and
everything is promising for an excel
lent fair and a great attendance. The
fat , sleek stock that has been going
Into the pens today , the magnificent
exhibits of grains , vegetables and
fruits that are being placed , the bean
tiful art work that Is being artistically
displayed , and the excellent array ot
machinery , and other manufactures
are combining to form an exhibit that
will astonish even those who fully
realize the capacity of the county , itf
people ami the soil. No one can afford
to miss it , and It will be of especial In
terest to strangers , many of whom are
expected.
Make Tomorrow Norfolk Day.
A movement is on foot , which Is be
Ing urged by Mayor Hazen , to have as
many Norfolk people as possible at
tend the county fair at Madison on
Wednesday of this week , and it is par
tlcularly desired that the people of
the city , having no choice as to the
elate on which they will attend , should
go down to the county seat on that
day. There will bo a hall game be
tween Newman Grove and Tllden
teams for a purse of $100 and other
special amusements. It has not been
set aside as Norfolk day , hut It will
certainly become that if a few moro
people make up their minds to join
the crowd that has already planned
to attend.

the city.
TRIP AROUND THE WORLD ,
Novel Entertainment Given by the
Ladies of Trinity Episcopal
Church Last Evening.
[ From AVednesday's Dally. ]
Something now In the way of church
entertainments was given last evenIng -
Ing by the ladles of the Episcopal
church. It is called "The Trip Around
the World. " and while the term Is
rather broad , It Is perhaps as nearly
correct as anything. The Episcopal
church served as the starting pe > int
for the journey and at this depot tick
ets were purchased , "Good feir erne
trip around the world , .Including
meals. "
Fortified with one of these paste
boards the traveler te > ok one ef the
trains ( carriages ) which left every few
minutes during the hours from 5 to
9 o'clock. The first stop was mailo
at Boston ( residence of E. P. Weath-
erby. ) The hewse was attractively
decoratcel In golden rail , potteel plants
and llenvers , while a music box elis-
coursed such classical airs as are sup
posed to tickle the ears of true Bos-
temlans. Drown bread and baked
beans were served by the ladles in
charge in a manner that would do
credit to the shade of Bunker Hill.
The tewrist then jemrneyed to Ger
many and put up at the Zumkaiserhof
of mine host Tappert. German Hags
and colors , black , white and rod , fur
nlshed the foundation for doceiratlve
features , while lasses in native ce
tunic , wooden shoes and all , served
Wienerwursts , potato salad , sand
wlches ami coffee. A pretty fraulein
in costume snng Deutsch semgs te >
her own accompaniment em the zither.
Germany was such an Interesting
place that the travelers were loth to
leave It. and hero was the largest
crowd all the time.
The next stop was In Japan ( resl
elenco of Mrs. Desmond ) . Japanese
lanterns oxtoneled far out over the
lawn , and as the traveler stopped In
side the door ho was greeted with a
picture sot In highly colored umbrel
las , fans and subdued lights , and was
Invited to a seat on a cushion while
he was served with tea and wafers
by pretty Japanese girls In native ap
parel.
The tourist was now Hearing the
end of his journey and he was wel
comed to the States at the White
House in Washington ( residence of
W. N. Huso ) by the president anil
family , members of the cabinet ami
other official dignitaries , being In
troduced by the president's private
secretary. The decorations were na
tional flags and colors , a bank of the
president's choicest flowers covering
the mantel. The mandolin club rep
resented the marine band and fur
nished delightful music during the
evening. Sherbet and cake were
served and during the later hours of
the entertainment there was some
dancing on the porch.
The ladles feel well pleased over
their entertainment , which seemed
to bo a success , both socially and fi
nancially , having cleared $01.50 after
all expenses wore paid. The money
Is to bo used In putting a furnace In
the church. It cost 25 cents to take
the trip. They feel under especial
obligations to liverymen of the city ,
to Otto Tapport and to the members
of the mandolin club , Paul Slsson ,
Ira Hull , Charllo Ahlman and K. W.
Barnes for assistance In giving their
entertainment.
Result of Experiments Made
by the Nebraska University.
FINDINGS TO AID THE GROWER.
Deep Cultivation Aids Yield Weeds
In Field Positively Injurious to the
Crop Home Grown Seeds are Tried
With Good Results.
( From WeilncHilny'H Dully. )
Professor T. L. Iyon ef the No-
iraska oxporlmunt station glveis the
following digest ef a bulletin recently
ssued from the station regarding the
year's experiments In boot culture
conducted at Ames :
The co-operative. ' sugar beet export-
nental work upon the farm of tht >
Standard Cattle company at Ames ,
luring the season e > f 11102 , was In part
i continuation ef pro views work whore
conclusive results had neit boon ob
tained , and In part a test eif methods
> f culture and combating ellseaso that
hail not been previously under Inves-
tlgatlon. All the work was laid emt
with a view to solving problems In
which the fanner e > r beet grower was
particularly Interesteel. As In provl-
> us years , the liberality e > f the Cattle
company maele It possible to carry
on the work em an extensive scale ,
mil over 200 acres eif selected land
was used for the experiments. Most
if the weirk was ceinduc'ted upon what
would commonly be termed a deep ,
friable lemin , very uniform In phys
ical character and fertility. This almost -
most absolute uniformity of the soil
upon the Holds made It possible to
use very much larger plats than
weiuld ordinarily he admissible with
out danger e > f varying the conditions.
In a test of twenty odd varieties eif
sugar beets , the results from home"
grown seed compared very favorably
with these from the Impeirtoel , seel ,
which showed quite wide variations.
The difference In this , as we-11 as In
former tests , seems tei indicate that
the eiuallty eif the seed is more Im
portant than the variety.
An application of farmyard manure
e > f 22 terns per acre seemed te > have
nei effect upem the quality eif the sugar
beets , nor upon the1 yield per acre ,
but in the latter respect this year's
results differ from those of previews
years.
The use e > f salt as a fertlli/.or , if
it had any effect. Improved the quality
of the hoots produced but had ne > ef
fect upon the susceptihllty te > ellsease.
A comparison e > f early and late1
planting eif sugar beets was decidedly
in favor eif early planting.
A comparison of different depths
eif horse-cultivation of sugar be > efs
was In faveir eif rather eleop cultiva
tion. It should bo remembered , how
ever , that the seasem of 1M)2 ! was
much wetter and cooler than normal.
Experiments in previous years fav
ored cultivatlem abewt three inches
deep.
The yield of sugar beets was very
conslelcr < ibly increased by hand-hew
ing when the beets were femr to five-
inches high.
The presence of weeds in sugar
beet fields very materially decreased
the yield and sugar contents of the
beets.
Breaking off a part of the leaves
of Atigar hoots at "laying by" time
did not injuriously affect the yield eir
quality of the crop. Beets treate-d in
this way wore less affected by "leaf
spot" disease than these neit so
treated.
Continuing the cultivation eif sugar
beets after the leaves were full grown
considerably Increased the yield per
aero.

Madison , Neb. , Kepi. 10. Special
to The News : Next to ( ho llual day
of ( he Madison county fair has passed
off smoothly and the prospects for a
mammoth attendance tomorrow arc'
very good. The grounds are crowded
with sightseers from all directionsj
and ( hey are well pleased with the
exhibitions.
With a perfectly clear iiky today
the weather has been proplluoiis ex
cepting a strong south wind which
has whipped dust about the grounds
*
to some extent. The track Is In good
shape and ( ho racing has a good gal
lery. The ball game promises to be
as Interesting as that of yesterday
when Newman Grove won a shut-out
over Tllden.
Tim truck events scheduled for to
day are as follows :

Yesterday's Card.
Yesterday's program at the county
fair , though hampered by the morning
drl//lo at Madison , was carried out
In an eminently satisfactory way as
soon as the sky cleared. The track
was somewhat heavy for the trotting
events but the weather was just right
for a hall game and the crowd had It's
money's worth.
But one race was on the card for
I ho afternoon the 2:110 : trot which
was taken by Teddy Brunswick. Min
nie Wllkes , the speedy gray from
Battle Creek , easily took second
money. She stopped III better style
than at Battle Creek , where she was
off her feet largely. The others start-
1 were Lady Hush , Little Frit/ , Al
bion Boy and Maggie Hoed.
The ball game between Tllden and
Newman Grove was a superb exhibi
tion. Newman ( irovo won It , I ! to 0.
All of the star players around this
section of the stale were In the game
and they played in pretty form. Hen
derson , who lias been with the Omaha
bunch , pitched the victory. His fieldIng -
Ing was Immense. The same clubs
are playing again today. Bncklen , a
former Norfolk twirler , was playing
with the Newman ( ! rove crowd.
Teddy Brunswick , the fast little
horse that broke the track record at
Battle Creek , attracted considerable
attention. Teddy's mark is 2:18V : | but
the record was made since July 1 and
he Is therefore allowed to start In
the county fair races of the 2I5 : ! class.
Ills owner worked a foxy game In
yesterday's event. Teddy was not
entered until the last minute. Others
thought he would be out and went
In to do things. Then Toddy was put
in and everyone know it was a walk
away. This little animal was bought
a year ago out of a livery stable for
$175. Ho was beaten In a 2:5 : ; : race
not long after. Now his mark is 2:18Vi :
and he has a snap because he Is per
mitted to race with horses nearly
twenty seconds slower.
Unique Horse Owner.
There is something unique In the
way of a horse owner at the fair. She
Is a woman and as good a judge of horse
llcsh ( is is to be seen on the grounds.
She owns the fast colt Governor , who
Is entered In today's races. She fol
lows the races with Governor , wagers
on his speed , talks In the parlance
of the turf and can pick the good
points In speedy animals at a glance ,
"I am just daffy on one thing , " she
declares , "and that Is a race horse. "
Besides the races and the ball gamete
to keep the spectators Interested ,
there Is something doing all the while
at the fair. At the front of the grand
stand Is a trapeze whore two clover
acrobats perform between heats of
the racing and on the grounds are a
dozen different types of sideshows
and midway novelties.

SAVED A WOMAN'S ' LIFE ,
George Davenport , Formerly of This
City , Did It In a Peculiar and
Effective Manner.
IFieim TlMMHilay'H Dully. )
The Sioux City Journal rolatoa a
story of how a Jest upon Geo. Daven
port , well known In this city , saved
a woman's life.
The jesler was Detective M. 13.
Follls and the life saved was that of
Mrs. Mary ICIIen Foster , a well known
character living In Sioux City , who
was Intoxicated and under arrest for
being connected with a robbery.
The arrest was made at 7 o'clodc
and for an hour afterward the woman
walled and screamed and would not
bo quieted. She was left alone In the
woman's ward at police headquarters.
The doors separating the ward from
the olllcers downstairs were closed
to shut off the sound of the woman's
screams.
The doors had not been closed long
when George Davenport , lirothor of
Chief of Police Davenport , entered
the oillco.
"Anything now ? " Mr. Davenport
asked.
Chief Davenport , Capt. Anderson
and Sergeant Hichard wore busy and
only Detective Follls had time to
make rejdy. Ho remembered that
young Mr. Davenport formerly lived
at Norfolk , and he said : "Why , yes ,
George ; there's a lady from Norfolk
upstairs and she Is in trouble. You'd
bqtter go up and talk with her. "
Young Mr. Davenport , not suspect
ing any jest on the part of Follls ,
tripped upstairs to the woman's ward
and hurried toward the iron door , ex
pecting to see some old friend from
his former home . But upon arriving
at the door his eyes met a sight
which caused him to shudder and
draw back. '
Mrs. Foster had hung herself. A
strip had been torn olT a sheet and
one end was tied around the cross
bar above the door opening Into the
toilet room. The other end was tied
around her neck. The strength of
the woman was all gone and her arms
hung limply by her side. Her face
was turning black and her eyes were
almost bursting from their sockets.
Capt. Anelorson , who was In the J
bath room , was called to and the cry < *
was heard downstairs. Detective Fe > l- , . ! ;
Us ran up and pooroel Intei the ward. ' j
In a second he told young Davenport"j
to hurry and get the keys to the cell ' . *
elexir. Mr. Davenport almost jumped , ,
j the length eif the stairs on his way 1
tei the oillco and upon the back trip
j ho fell ami throw the keys to the de- | '
I tectlve. The cell deieir was opencel
.ami the Improvlscel rope was cut anil
the body of ( he woman was laid upon
the llexir. Then it was found that
the strip of sheet was drawnso tightly
around her neck that it had to bo
cut with a knife. 4
