Aug. 23.-Spoclal.)-Iowa people formally opened what they claim la the biggest and finest agricultural ex hibit on earth yesterday. There were about S.000 to 10,000 people on the grounds today. It was the first day for paid admissions snd it went ahead of the first dsy In former years Formerly the first day was Monday. Today Is Children's dsy and about 4,004 children were put through the gates free. Judging the ponies started In the stock pavilion and the boys' and girls' contests for State Agricultural collesa scholarships were held. The regular stock judging does not start till Monday. Thirty-three boys took the corn and stock Judging contest for scholarships and but four girls went through tha cooking contest. Each girl was required to cook a dozen baking pewder biscuit and one beefsteak. Some of the biscuit were a little flat an one girl fried her beefsteak Instead of ' boiling It, but otherwise they got through In good shape In spite of the fact that the gasoline stoves were not working well. The Igorrote village was put In place today. Three women, ten men and one 2-year-old baby form the colony. Their huts were put In place and are counter parts of those In the island of Luzon, with the exception that mill lumber was used Instead of hewn lumber. They will give no public dog eating exhibition while here. It Is expected that they will eat a few Des Moines dogs before they lesve, but their manager, Roy Herald, Is trying with con siderable success to educate their taste for chicken and beefsteak. The first msn to go to the emergency hos pital on the grounds today was A. W. Clark who wss bitten by a rat. Clark Is the representstlve of the Parke Davis company, pharmacists of Detroit. The firm has In vented or discovered a vims which they claim when Injected Into a rat gives It a disease which It communicates to other rats when turned loose. One of the Innocu lated rats today bit Clark on the thumb. It fastened Its teeth to such a depth that Clark had to take a knife and cut Its Jaw off before he could get released. He was hurried to the emergency nospltal where the wound was cut open and cauterised and was then hurried down town to the Methodist hospital. The case Is a peculiar one and may cost Clark his life.

H claims furthermore that the Here ford exhibit Is especially good and that In numbers and quality excells the Kansas City show, which has heretofore taken the lead In Herefords. There Is also stlffer competition In the Angus cattle this year, while the Shorthorns which have always led heretofore are as numerous and as good as ever before and possibly a trifle- better. Goveraer Walts for the Coafeveace. Governor Cummins said today that .he would take no action In the United States senatorial matter till after the conference of republicans to be held here on August 25. It is generally believed the conference will take the position In favor of calling a session of the legislature and having the nomination of a candidate for the senate put up to the people at the November elec tion. It is believed that this would take the matter off the candidates, not only for the legislature, but for county offices, to such an extent that a great many would be elected who otherwise are almost sure of defeat. Candidates all over the state are writing In that both sides are after them continually to know their stand on United Statea senator. They dare not declare them selves, for It would mean certain defeat. If the people can decide It at the November election these candidates will not need to declare themselves.
