Musto supposed it was and was thus left out of the judging. Dick Campbell's well known team of mules an equine symphony--are on exhibition. A notable animal is C. L. Bower's 1,010 pound Mammoth jack sixteen hands and one inch high and five years oid.

W. S. Swift's French Draft fouryear old 'stallion attracts much attention, as do horses belonging to W. T. Wiley.

HERE AND AT LEBANON Prof. McKee Will Have No Time 60 Devote to Kansas Gity.

There is little to record from the business college at this juneture except that Messrs McKee and Gresham are too busy to talk. They have a great mass of correspondence to look after and arrangements for the boarding and lodging of students to make. It is now Prof. McKee's plan to divide his time between Norton and the McKee business college at Lebanon, leaving the direction of affairs at the Kansas City business college to his brother. The volume of business at Lebanon and here requires his undivided attention.

At both points the assured attendance will be much larger than Mr. McKee has thought possible for the first vear. Prof. Gresham declines to teach in Missouri another year, considering the prospects of the Norton business college better than any opportunity Missouri has to offer him, although he has his choice now of teaching either in the Chillicothe Normal, the Chillicothe Business College, or in Park College, from all of which institutions he is a graduate. Mr.

Gresham is rapidly absorbing the Norton spirit; Mr. McKee always had it. Quite Heavy Rain Fell.

Today's rain is responsible for the track at the fair grounds being so heavy that today's races were all called off, Another effect has en to curtail the attendance at the fair, PLEASANT VALLEY NEWS School House Improvements- -To School at Kansas Gity.
