Grounds.
. The coming state fair promises to be one
it the finest exhibitions ever held in the
Northwest and the citizens of St. Paul in
lend this year to make extra effort toward

plans for a grand illumination of the city
ttCh night during fair week was consuui
nated. The plan as decided upon provides
'or the erection of thirty arches on
third. Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
JVabashaand St. Peter streets, at points

lpon which they will be erected, uniting in
• he center in various shapes. Each arch
s-ill be constructed so that 100

cost will be in the neighborhood of #5,000. |
The illumination is one of the many plans
pf Aid. Van Slyck'a for making the city
attractive on gala occasions. The arches
are to be constructed so that they can be
taken down, packed away and used during
the ice carnivals, or on any occasion when
desired. Work will be commenced ou
Monday, and a force of men employed day j
' id night in order to complete the work in
me.
STREETS TO THE FAIR.

the leading business men of this city was
received by Mayor Rice requesting him to
recommend to the council an appropriation
for sprinkling, lighting and improving streets
leading to the state fair grounds, and take
what other action is necessary to make the
fair a success. He also received a com
munication from ten members of
the council signifying their readiness
to approve any action he might take in the
matter. The mayor has decided to send a
message to the couucll asking for an appro
priation not to exceed So. 000, and he has
appointed a committee consisting of Aid.
Cullen, Kerr and O'Connor to investigate
»s to what work is necessary to put the
streets leading to the State fair grounds in
good condition.
NOTES.
The secretary, In answer to a communica
tion addressed to the president, yesterday re
ceived a communication from the president
of the St. Paul Jobbers' union, saying that
the merchants of this city are alive to the In
terests of the society. He adds: "You may
be confident that they will make creditable
exhibits, as heretofore. As requested in
your letter, our union has appointed a com
' mittee to take charge of the matter, and if
you can spare sufficient space, I assure you
that our St. Paul merchants, both wholesale
and retail, will contribute in an acceptable
manner to the many attractions to be of
fered."
Mr. Bushnell, superintendent of the agri
tural machinery department, was on the
grounds all day yesterday, and desires to an
nounce to exhibitors in his department that
he will hereafter be on the grounds attending
. strictly to business, from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m.,
every Tuesday and Friday. He stated that
nearly all the manufacturers in Minneapolis
will be -on band for the fair. Three Minne
apolis firms were located yesterday, and sev
eral • others 'are waiting 1 for locations. The
engine in Agricultural Machinery hall is being
put in place, and will be in position for busi
ness ten days before the opening of the fair.
The meeting of the board yesterday,and the
presence on the ground of a large number of
the superintendents of departments, had the
usual effect of bringing together a crowd of
exhibitors and space-seekers, making- it ap
■ pear very active on the grounds and around
the buildings. Some of the leading trotting,
pacing and running horses of the country
were entered for the races yesterday. There
are now enough entries to assure flrst-class
races during the entire fair.
The bitching posts and fences in front of
the secretary's office were lined with teams
yesterday, reminding one of an old-fashioned
county fair. Mrs. Gates aud Mrs. Pitts of the
Woman's Christian home of St. Paul were on
the grounds yesterday seeking: a lunch privi
lege for their organization.
Mr. Bushnell urgently requests that all
machine men desiring locations will make ap
plication in writing as early as possible.
. There is fully one-third more space in this
department then there was last year, but it
Will still be crowded, and those making lirst
application will receive the best places.
The Eastern manufacturers who exhibited
last year have nearly all been heard from,
and will be at the fair with displays: and in
addition thereto fully as many more new
firms have signified their determination to
be present.
The exclusive baker's privilege of the
grounds was granted yesterday to responsible
parlies, they agreeing to furnish bread of the
best quality.

In other respects the ordinance is the same
in every particular as the other ono passed
by the council. Aid. Starkey moved that the
reading of the ordinance be dispensed with
and that it be referred to the committee on
streets, which was done.
The report of the committee on streets
relative to the vacation of Summit avenue,
near the west limits of the. city, and the
opening of a new line of the street was

property owners in the vicinity, who agree
to give property nearer the river bank for
the street. The clerk was authorized to
advertise the vacating of the street, and
the city engineer was instructed to view the
proposed lino of the street and report to

Catherine. Lt is in "Evangeliue" that the
lone fisherman appears, and in this
company he is Mr. J. S. Moftitt, who en

characters. Much that is ludicrous is In
the play and much that is pathetic. Miss
Lillian Olives, Miss Daisy Ilall, Mr. George
A. Schiller, Mr. Daniel Mason and Mr.
E.T. Sinclair are in the cast. The company
is in Chicago now, playing to crowded
houses, and on the opening of the season

Mr. and Mrs. Graham were many, elegant

and the liberal response received from the
residents around Central park, arrange
ments are made to fittingly dedicate the
park with an open air concert by the Great
Western band. Thursday evening, Aug.
28. is the date set. Prospects are good to
have the streets around the park In good
condition for driving, and a temporary mu
sic stand will be built. It is claimed by im
partial judges that Centra! park will in the
future become the favorite spot for band
concerts, the park giving more accommo
dations for carriages and pedestrians than
any park in this city, and it is further as
serted that the music on a properly con
structed band stand will give ample volume
to be enjoyed by all in and around the park.

WILD BtJIORS RIFE
Regarding- : the Progress of the Fire
■• in Wisconsin.
. The smoke which filled the atmosphere
yesterday gave rise to all sorts of. rumors
about fires in Wisconsin aud Minnesota.
The wind was blowing from the East all
day, and one report was to the effect that
eight or ten farms In Wisconsin had burned
over, together with the town of Somerset,
and. that the < flames were rapidly creeping
toward the St. Croix river. Another re
port was to the effect that two farmers on
Long Lake had - lost everything they had,
and that the woods and prairies were burn
ing, and another rumor was that at the
original Long lake nineteen - farms had
burned, much stock perished, several per
sons burned to death, and that the whole
country was enveloped in flames and clouds
of smoke. This lake is called First or Long
lake, and is the other side of Lake Demoutre
ville, which is nine miles from Stillwater.
Investigations failed to prove the correct
ness of any of these wild reports. No
farmers were in Stillwater from Somerset
during the day and nothing could be learned
about the reported fires there and none
could be seen from the original Long Lake,
where such great losses were reported.
Several parties were in Stillwater from the
neighborhood of Long Lake, about two and
a half miles from there, at which two houses
were reported destroyed, but none knew
auything about any fire. No reliable in
formation could be learned concerning any
of the reported fires, although persons could
be found who had heard all sorts of rumors.
The smoke so plainly visible all day was
not caused by a fire west of Stillwater, in
which direction both the lakes are located,
as the wind was blowing from the East.
A Cloud Burst's Ravages.
Reading, Pa., Aug. 14.— Reports com
ing in from the country districts to-day
show that last night's cloud burst and
storm was unprecedented. Many thousand
bushels of unripe fruit are now lying on
the ground. The streets of Hamburg pre
sented the appearance of rivers. Hun
dreds of cellars are flooded, wagons and
agricultural implements were washed from
farmyards into the Schuylkill and carried
away. The West Hamburg rolling mill
and Tobias' brick yard were washed out by
the stream, compelling the employes to flee
for their lives. The embankment along
the Reading road was washed away, leav
ing the road and sills hanging in the air.
Cornfields were washed away, leaving not
a vestige of the crops, and tobacco fields
were riddled. The fi nit crops are a total
loss. Three barns valued at $ 12, 000 were
struck by lightning and destroyed, together
with several animals, and the roofs of
three churches in the western section of
Berks county were partially blown off.
The Hancock > mid.

goes a step further and announces that he
will build houses for the mechanics of the
Northern Pacific . shops. We assume that
he will take pay in installments. Every
measure that enables men to live in their
own houses ought to be welcomed. Mr.
Ahem informs . us that he will at once
build six. Those wanting a roof — and who
dues not?— ought to lose ' no time. His
office is at 140 East Third street. He is no

are worthy of credit.

DR. CUI-l'UiU.
The Painless Dentist,
On Monday will open dental parlors on cor
ner of Seventh andWabasha streets. This
step has been made necessary by the fact of
the increase in his business demanding
more room than his, old office' admits of.
He has consolidated his Minneapolis office
with the St. Paul office. His brother. Dr.
M. B. Culluin, formerly manager of the
Minneapolis office, comes to St. Paul and
takes charge of the operating department.
Dr. Welch, • formerly ' of Winona, Minn.,
a mau of twenty-five years' experience in
dentistry, and well-known in Southeastern
Minnesota as a skillful dentist and a con
scientious, upright and moral man in eveay
respect, takes charge of the mechanical de
partment, or the making ot artificial teeth.
This arrangement leaves the doctor free to
devote all of his attention to his specialty
of painless extraction and general manage- J
ment. This excellent arrangement leaves
the head of each department free to devote
his whole time and attention to one class of
work for which he is best adapted. The
determined object of the doctor is to give
the best results attainable in dentistry at
prices reasonable and within the reach of
all. ■ .

THE LATEST, '„ , \
THE CHEAPEST,

: . '• '■■
THE LATEST— corps of contributors
who hold the foremost rank in science arid
literature, both in America and Europe, are
employed on this great work the year
round, and a new volume is added annually.
It never becomes old. Hence it is THE
LATEST.
TJIE C; E\PEST— In the language ot a
former President of Harvard College. "It
is a well-selected library in itself." A new
volume is added each year, which precludes
the necessity and expense of buying other
books. Hence it is THE CHEAP
THE BEST— is prepared by the ablest
writers and scholars in every department of
knowledge. It is the only complete, new.
and exhaustive Cyclopedia in the English
language, and the range of subjects em
braces more than all other Cyclopaedias
combined. Hence it is THE BEST.
PLAN OF THE AMERICAN!
The plan of mis great wokk gives
it a very great advantage over all other En- j
cyclopaedias, it being the only one in the.
English language that runs by series. -' Six
teen volumes and an Index complete a'sev
ries. . The articles in the first series are all
arranged in alphabetical order, taking in
the whole alphabet, from the first to the
sixteenth volume.
TnE ARTICLES in each VOLUME of the
Supemental Series are arranged in regu
lar alphabetical order, from A to Z, cover
ing the entire range of subjects requiring
any alteration or addition, by reason of
changes occurring during the year. One
volume to be issued annually, making the
whole work complete to any year of the
second series — hence it can readily be seen
how every article of any importance,
treated in the first series, can be continued
on with the second series, and kept "fresh
and up to the times" — a record of
the progress of the World's History year
by year.
It presents a panoramic view of all human
knowledge, from the earliest times to the
present day. recording the progress and
changes in the laws, in the arts, in science,
in industrial methods, in commercial de
velopments, in political, civil, military, and
social affairs, etc.. etc.
An Analytical Index of the contents
of this supplemental series is placed at the
end of the last volume issued. «.•>; : \
