Of all the stirring incidents of the siege, how-- ever, not one has made such a strong impression as the fanciful story of the Seotch girl who heard the slogan of the MacGregors far away and knew the Highlanders were coming to the rescue. It is this incident that Bruch has used as the theme of his work "Fair Ellen" The story is in-- cidental with the one so oftem told in prose and poetry, but the "dramatic personae" différ Instead of General Lawrence we have Lord Edward ang instead of the familiar Jessie Brown | we have Fair Ellen.

Suspension of rewd work in Lake county following dissension in la-- bor circles, was the gloomy fore-- cast in a communication from Charles E. Russell, county superin-- tendent of highways, read before Immediately after the board kill-- ed the motion, Mr. Woodin declared the property of the fair would be turned over to the creditors and the only work now to be done is the Supervisor Eger championed the cause of the fair and pointed out that other appropriations over the amount set as "lega!" are being made to the Lake Bluff orphanage and the local hospital. It was pointed out by Supervisor Mather, however, that there may be objection on part of taxpayers and the motion should be defeated. The motion put to a vote finally was defeated. Superviso: John Swanbrough of Waukegan declared that it should be given another chance. Supervisor _ Edward Mawman, committee, stood firmly opposed to the granting of the money tecause of the written opinion of State's Attorney Smith that any appropria-- tion over $300 would be illegal. Sev-- eral others took up the opposition and the motion to grant the money lost by a vote of 22 to 11 votes. Low Pay Balks William Woodin, president, Jonn Wirtz, Secretary, and Mr. Corlett, treasurer of the fair, all spoke in favor of the appropria-- tion and declared that it would be possible to get through and make the institution a paying proposi-- tion. This was finally announced Mon-- day morning with the refusal of the board of supervisors to grant a re-- quest for an appropriation of $3,000 to stem the fair over this year and clear back expenses.
