constantly assailed them with often

red at the Waterloo Depot last Sun

who was acting as brakeman, while
uncoupling the cars in order to make

when discovered was beyond recog-
milton. He was young man only
% years of age and lived with his pa
rents in Waterloo.

CEDAR VALLEY FAIR. The ele-
ments this year have been at war
with the plans and purposes of agri-
cultural societies, and the Fairs held
during September aud this month,
have suffered in consequence.
Our Fair held last week, was all that
could be expected under the circum-
stances. The weather throughout
was unfavorable and the success of
the exhibition was prevented in a
great measure by it. But the attend
ance during the last two days, not
withstanding the severe cold wealth
err, was quite large. Although the
departments were not SO largely rep
resented as desired, there was good
display i'm all of them. In some of
the departments the entries exceeded
those of last year. The trotting and
racing formed the chief attraction,
and held the shivering crowds when
nothing else would. The receipts
are fair, although not as large as last
season. The grounds were fitted up
in q creditable manner and are among
the best in the State. The Waterloo
brass band was present on Friday
ana the Cedar Falls band on Satur-
day adding much interest to the
Fair.
We publish this week the list Of
premiums awarded, to which we di-
rect the attention of our readers for
