It will do no harm to the interests Of those

state that the Iowa State Fair Is a melancholy
failure In the most important point OF paying

the hotel keepers throughout the week have
been the most miserable Of men. Dubuque
did her whole duty literally, both in prepara-

has too many of her sors in the field not to
