Factories and Pay Rolls. His report on the industrial part of Decatur proves that we are getting “thar” with both feet, the number employed being 510, with a weekly payroll of $5,350 or an average of $10.50 one of the best showings in any town in the state. His figures are exact and are so conservative that they may be almost doubled within a yar, his table as set out being: Factory.

Mr. Stubbs was highly pleased with tihe iponditions in Decatur and so expressed himself. o — - Sunday wag the hottest day that 1 Bluffton has had, so far as the records of the local weather bureau shows, in a period of seven years.

FAIR OPEN AT NIGHT I j 1 Great Programs to Be Given by Indiana Exposition Each Evening. 1 ENOUGH LIGHT FOR A CITY 1 1 Arc Lamps and incandescent Clusters for Illumination—Special Horse _, Ji Shows, Chariot Races and Hippo- ) drome Features of Many Kinds Will I be Given Every Night The Indiana State Fair will this fall be open at night for the first time : In its history. Arrangements for brilliantly illuminating several of the i buildings and the streets in the main part of the grounds are being carried out, and special programs have been arranged for each evening of the Fair, beginning with Monday, September 7. Eighty-seven arc lights, as many as required by a city of 6,000 people, will be placed in the buildings and about the grounds and, in addition, a large number of clustered incandescent lights will be used. For about two hours each evening the Art building will be open as well as the women’s rest building. But the center of the Fair’s night activities will be the big live stock pavilion. In ttfe arena of this structure, around which 10,000 i people may gather, the night horse shows, as well as those of the day, and the hippodrome program will be given, beginning at 8:15. The night shows in the pavilion will begin with parade of cattle add horses, which have been day features for several years and which have won the favor of many thousand spectators. Fancy turnouts, jumpers, saddle horses and similar exhibitions will make up the horse show. Weber’s band, of Cincinnati, which has played at the State Fair so- several years, will give concerts and two singers will be heard. Chariot and Roman standing races will make up another feature, and hippodrome races with twenty thoroughbreds running over the tanbark arena will be another. Acrobatic bears and a trained pony, the Heras family of ten performers, a troupe of trained dogs and horses, a high wire walker and a high diver will be some of the other attractions. From early morning until late at night the coming State Fair will be rich In its attractions for visitors from the city and country. The day programs as followed In recent years will be given. The Fair is to be openeed at 9 o’clock on Monday morning and the first races will be given In the afternoon of that day. The band concerts and vaudeville will also start at 1 p. m.

Old Soldiers' and Children’s day will be on Tuesday, and early in the morning the judges will begin work in all departments of the exposition. In the pavilion the draft horses and mules will be shown, as will the cattle. The show of light harness and saddle horses will begin on Wednesday morning, and the band concerts will start at 9 a. m. The first parade of horses and cattle will be given bo fore the grandstand at 1 p. m., preceding the races and vaudeville. The Fair always reaches its height on Thursday and it will this fall, with the cattle and horse shows, the ring contests in the swine and sheep departments, and special displajs of flowers In Horticultural hall. In the afternoon the live stock parades and races the vaudeville, poultry show, and all departments• of the exposition will be in full swing. During the races each afternoon, the Indianapolis Military Band will give a concert in the grandstand, while Weber’s Band will play In the pavilion. The final day of the Fair, Friday, will be marked by the close of the ring shows, races, band concerts and vaudeville throughout the day, with a horse show and hippodrome program in the pavilion at night. During several Fairs, the State Board of Agriculture has given a band j concert at the grandstand at night, but not until the coming Fair will the lighting of the buildings and grounds be ♦tried, and the programs will be much more elaborate than in other years. Under the new order, visitors from away from Indianapolis may may spend a long day at the exposition, from early in the morning until the last cars for home at night, taking their meals on the grounds, and seeing the features of the day and evening for one price of admission. ( It has for years been a boast of Charles Downing, secretary of the Fair that It was “a million dollar show for fifty cents,’’ while the pro- , grams for the coming Fair Indicate ( that an overflowing measure of value will be given in return for a visitor’s admission fee. “It has always been ' the purpose of the State Fair, said ' Mr Downing, “to make the exposition not only larger but of better quality i year after year, and there has been , wonderful expansion along these lines t In the last eight or ten years. Exhibitors have been coming with better live stock and more of It, the State s Board has been improving its facili- f ties for giving a Fair, and, better yet, j the people of Indiana have been pour- , Ing through the Fair gates in much ( greater number. In no direction has the Indiana Fair grown more than in f attendance, and the State Board is anxious to have the Fair win still greater favor all along the Uno.” '

Granville Walker, on e of the successful farmers of Liberty township, was in the city today feeling pretty good over his wheat crop. He had out thirty acres of wheat which he has threshed this week. From the thirty acres he got 956 bushels, an average of a little more than thirty bushels to the acre, testing 64 pounds to the bushel. If you can beat that send in your report and let your neighbor know it.—Bluffton News.

Decatur was visited by one of the severest electrical storms here last evening that has happened for quite a long time. The lightning was terrifying, and was accompanied by a qfiite good shower of rain, which was gladly welcomed, especially by the farmer. While no serious damage is reported in some places they were not so lucky in escaping as in this place.

Fred Schafer, of the Schafer Hardware company and Harry Ward of the Ward Fence company left Sunday morning for an extended trip abroad. They went to Fort Wayne in their touring car and left there at 12:10 on the Pennsylvania flyer for New York City. They sailed from the latter place Wednesday morning, board the Rhinedam and after a nine days’ voyage will land at. Rotterdam. Their itenery includes visit to the great cries and places of interest in Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy and they will probably be absent until about October Ist. The trip is made by Mr. Schafer for rest and pleasure and by Mr. Ward on the advice of his physician that a sea voyage would be beneficial for th e asthma, from which he has suffered severely for several years. For this reason they will •travel on a slow boat requiring a day or two longer than others to make *he irip. Enroute to Fort Wayne yesterday the Ward machine was laid up by a tire explosion and the delay caused the party to make a record run for fourteen miles to allow the travelers to catch their train.
