The Judge that Wasn't Posted.

! Our friend, Judge Larrabee, of Wiscon-
sin. is making political speeches in Mime
sofa in behalf of the Democracy. 1t will
b remembered that the Republicans were
cheated out of the last election by the votes
of Indians, and other frauds.
Said the Judge in his maiden speech:

TIE Kansas Gold.

After all the contradictory reports which
have reached us from the mines in Kansas,
the fact seems at last settled that there is
gold in the mining region, and that vari-
Gus shipments, to the aggregate amount of
100000 dollars. have actually been made.
4 tabular statement published in the Lev
enworth Daily Times, gives a detailed ac-
count of the receipts from May Is. to Au-
gust IL, from which it appears that the bust
ness firms in Denver City and Auraria have
received 1895 dollars, from miners. and
that of this sum 1902 dollars have been
shipped to other ports. Neither of the towns
named is a year old, and these results of
three months business are regarded as graf
flying indications. The express which left
Denver City in the middle of September car
ried away $4,000 dollars in addition, bring
ing up the total yield to the figure of loi,-
600 dollars.

gate in the world. If there is any doubt
on this point, its weight, from the immense
quantity of iron attached to it. will throw

Senator Broderick, of California, killed
in O incl.


Senator Broderick, Of California, has
fallen by the hand of a fellow-duellist,
Judge Terry. of the Supreme Court of that
State. He was shot through the lungs at
the first fire, Terry escaping unhurt.
Senator BrOderick was a New Yorker,
was elected to the United States Senate as
a Democrat, and was one of the few Dem
ocrats in that body who, with Douglas, op-
posed President Buchanan's Lecompton
policy. In the late political vi in
California, he took a very prominent part.
The strife was marked with personalities,
and a ferocity between the Democratic lead
ers, particularly between Senator'S Brode-
rick and Gwin, and Broderick and Latham,
candidate for Governor, never before exhi-
bited in an American contest. DuelS were
anticipated after the election, and would
have occurred before. but Mr.. Broderick
postponed the adjustment of personal mat
tiers under the duellist's code. until the po-
litical fight was closed. If Broderick had
not fallen by the hand of Terry, he proba-
bly, would have run his chances with Gwin
or Latham. and perhaps with bOth.-C2sre.

WARREN, WEDNESDAY, OCT. u.
Gahoning County Fair.

We attended at Garfield, on THURSDAY,
the last day of the Fair. Some three thou.
sand people were present, on that day. and
we were informed double that number
were in attendance on Wednesday. Horses
were the only stock exhibited on Thursday;
and some of these were fine animals.
The Fair Grounds are located about a
half mile south of the village on a sandy
piece of land. tolerably well shaded with
native forest trees. The track is not large,
but was in good condition. I've would
suggest that seats for spectators are needed
Stalls, so:re of which were enclosed and
others open. have been erected around the
enclosure and must prove very convenient
for exhibitors
Inside the Hall there we're gathered very
many articles of interest, and the ladies Of
Garfield may well be proud Of the fine ap,
pearance presented by that part which was
under their supervision. Entering the Hall
ut the south door, the first object which pre-
sented itself was a Grccian Temple covered
with moss and flowers. This, which was
very beautiful. was the handiwcrk of Mira
]. n. Edwards. and Mrs. DR.. Caspar. A
very curious picture, (also by Mrs. Edwards
represehtinga castle. stream, bridges, trees,
figures &c. quite as accurately as a paint
ing. and made from leaves and bark,-at-
tracted much attention.
Some figures carved in woodb by Mr.. John
Blythe, were well done and cyinced much
skill on the part of the artist.
The collection of minerals, petrifcations
&c. were interesting, and rendered dou5ly
