An Awful 3Iess. Sunday night Hugh McWil Hams got loaded to such an ex tent that he did not know any thmsr that occured until he was brought too in a most disgusting way. He was in Phil Wrights and cot ur to sro out when two friends went with him and put him in the out building to sleep off his In some manner he got over the "rest" and fell into the filth below. The depth of the hole was probably four feet, yet the fall did not arouse him until several "visits had been paid to the place, when he Came to he shouted "murder" in a loud enough voice to arouse the whole neighborhood. Help came and his clothes were soon cut oil' of him and he was taken home.

He has undoubtedly left town as no one has seen him since.

A vote of thanks is tendered to those who helped in making the fair such a grand success. About 300 was cleared during the entire entertainment. Had the Weather been more suitable it is thouo-ht that $500 would have been cleared As it is, however, the people are duly gratefuly for the success of the enter prise. Sam Barratt was on hand Tuesday night to attend the fair and see that the Pittsburg people were accomo dated with transportation. Ihe last car left this city about 1 o'clock and the people of this city settled down to a quite rest after one of the most enjoyable fetes ever given in Frontenac.

The Beasley it Miller contest for Buck's Junior range waxed hotter and hotter in Pittsburg until yester- ay it reached a climax.

Ihe sus pense ended and the little girls of Pittsburg who have been canvassing from house to house for trade marks cut out of the Beasley Miller "ad" in the papers felt relieved to think the work was over even if they did not get the sto ve. During the contest triae m'-kv reached a market value and some of the little girls making collections. realizing they would not get it, sold out their collections at 10 to 15 cents per hundred. This was particularly so near the end of the contest, one lot of 2400 being sold. This was not the way the projectors of the scheme had intended it to be done, but there seemed no way to prevent it.

All day Monday two men were kept busy Counting out the packages of trade marks brought in. The leaders of the contest brought in the following amounts of trade marks Vera Coddington 11,886 Mable Coffelt 8 463 Ethel Pierce 2,161 MayGarver 860 May Laforte 028 Eflie Bennett 562 Ethel Pierce 500 The beautiful little nickle plated range was awarded to Vera Coddington. The contest was one of the best advertising schemes ever fprung in Pittsburg. It is safe to say there is net a home in Pittsburg or vicinity where the inmates have not been repeatedly solicited to save the trade marks from their papers. In this way Buck's stoves have been made the best known stores in the county-.

John O'Leary is working at Marquette, Illinois, and expects to move his family to that place in the near future. two young and handsome postmistresses who furnished "mail" to many learning that "there was a letter in the post office for them." We are not sure that it was a branch of the government postal service, but judge that many communications received were as interesting as though they had been forwarded by the government. Mrs.

Michael Lesniak and Miss Fannie Vlynn were in charge of this novel and unique entertainment. The soda water and Cigar booth was presided over by Miss May Kelley, Miss Hannah Flynn and Master Jack Flynn, and was well patronized. A fishing booth was arranged in Hie corner of the refreshment and lunch room, and was in charge of Master John Eichhorn. Miss Barbara lloderline sold chances for fishers and many enjoyed hauling ia the sportive game. The lunch room was well patron ized by those who were hungry and an abundant supply of cakes, sandwiches and fruit was kept on hand.

The contests for a watch, ring and rocking chair were rather One 'sided, owing to the fact that some of Vhe contestants did not hustle very much for Votes until the last few 'days.
