FINE PROGRAM
CHINOOK FAIR
The Chouteau county Fair, to be
held at Chinook, Sept. 16, 17 and 18,
promises to be the most successful
meet that has yet been promoted by
the enterprising people of that live
town. The program is interesting
and varied, and the races promise
to meet all requirements of lovers of
that sport. $1,000 in purses has been
hung up for the races, and many of
the best racing horses in the coun
try are already on the ground.
A feature will be the daily ascen
sion, and weather permitting, semi
daily ascensions of Prof. Fred Rugg,
the famous aernaut and parachute
jumper.
Music will be a pleasing feature,
the management having secured the
Indian Boys Band from St. Paul's
mission, who will keep things lively
with parade and concert work.
The cowboy relay races, and buck
ing contests will add to the excite
ment, and the display of live stock
and farm products promises to excel
anything of the kind ever attempted
in Northern Montana.
Don't forget the dates, and remem
er that the investment of a few days
recreation for yourself and family, is
pne of the best that can be made and
to 'the young fellow who wants to
say the words but dassent, we would
say: Take your girl to the Fair, she
will . enjoy it, and may remember
that it is leap year.
l Negotiations are under way, looking
A the setting aside of one of the I
days, to be dsignated "Havre Day,"
and it is hoped that arrangedflents |
can be made to insure a goodly at
tendance from our city.
A fare of one and one third has
been secured, and complete arrange
nients for the card and comfort of
the visitors has been made.

BRYAN AND KERN CLUB
MEETS MONDAY
The legular meeting of the Bryan
and Kern Club will be held at the
city hall next Monday evening, Sep
tember 14th. All candidates, club
members, and the people generally.,
ladies espc!ially. are requested to
turn out. Mr. Newman will tell us
what be knows about "getting there"
and Mr. Christler will stir things up
a few himself.
':d. Barber, of Chinook, is visiting
friends in the city this week.
Clerk of the District Court--W. C.
Kester.
Asseeoir-H. E. Loranger.
Attorney-J. K. Bramble.
Coronur--R. B. Ganaway.
The chairman of the central commit
tee was authorized to fill the vaca
cite left vacant on the ticket or that
might arise before election from any
cause. At the first meeting of the
committee all vacaancies will be filled
and a full ticket placed in the field
for the November election.
John Harris was unanimously elect
ed as chairman of the central commit
tee with authority to name the mem
bership of the committee.
It was worthy of note, that all of
the candidates, with the one except
ion, were nominated by acclamation,
the exception being in the case of the
,'-didates for sheriff, which norrinh
tion was decided by ballot, a count
of.the baiiots showing that I. M. Rog
r- was winner over Charles Crawford
by 1 vote.
The convention then adjourned afte
xcending a vote of thanks to the
,hairman and secretary.
If anyon6 entertained 'iy doubt
Lt to there being complete harmony
within the lines of the democratic
party; it would certainly have been
dispelled by an attendance at the
where naught but the best of good
feeling was in evidence, with not' the
semblance of a clash or dispute to
mar the smooth running of the mach
inery of the convention.
The placing of the name of the
Rev. Leonard J. Christler at the head
of the ticket, was precisely like throw
ing a 14-irich shell into the enemy's
camp, that action scattering them in
all directions, and they are surely
leading a strenuous life while trying
to recover thier breath, and wonder
ing where they are at. As one of
them aptly put it: "You have certain
ly dropped a bomb shell into our
camp, and, to tell you the truth, we
t.' afraid the durned thing will go
ADD TO PIANO FUND ST.
MARKS DANCE
'1'h. regular Friday evening's lanc
of the St. Mark's Club was held on
F.r:day evening last. at Swa-iton's
',t and ,was thoroughly enj:syed by
a goodly number, of the disciples of
the delightful art handed down to
merry makers and fun lovers, by
tha ancient god, Terpaschore, he of
the nimble feet. The orchestra was
in chlarge of Director IIilla, a:d ttat
the music was tuneful and time'ul
goes without the saving. The pre
ceeds were added to the piano fund.
oft'." Yes, you bet it will go off, and
1Mr. Christler's election is only a ques
tion of majority.
I'he lprsonel of the ticket through
out is good. It is composed of wide
awake, progressive, conservative
member, of the party, and is going
to win out.
Put a pin here, and an X over
forninst the names printed above,
when you enter the little booth.
With Bryan at the head of the na
tional ticket, Norris, the state, and
Christler on county ticket, the s:t
nation listens very much like VICT
ORY to the Herald., from'the presi
dent down to the precinct officers.
CONVENTION NOTES.
Chairman Newman's benign coun
tenance beamed with a continuous
performance smile, and there was
nothing of sadness in it, either, 0,
my. no.
Secretary Allen was busier than a
cranberry merchant and he was deal
ing in a brand of dope that sure car
ried the hall mark of "been there be
fore" a few times.

Shorty Young grew two inches
in height, and added three more to
his chest measurement, under the
stimulous of a keen appreciation of
the way things were working out.

he read the handwriting on the wall.

The delegates are unanimous in
treir expressions of the courteous
treatment accorded them by Mine
Host Stephens of the Grand Union
hotel, and incidentally, of the people

tihe solid metal-no plating.
