The Fair is Approaching.

We have several times called attention
to the coming Fair Of Iowa county. The
time is near at hand, viz: on the 10th,
1lth and 18th of September. The time
which remains for preparation is short,
and it behooves every one who feels like
taking an interest in the Fair to be up
and doing. We hope our farmers and
mechanics, with their wives and children,
will endeavor to come to the Fair, and
bring something to show. Let every
branch of business be fully represented.
Remember that every person who brings
an article for exhibition benefits the insti>
tuition in some way. Don't wait for your
friends and neighbors, but move along
yourself.
There has been special determination
on the part of the officers to make the
coming Fair a grand and crowning sue
cess, and 50 far as they are concerned the
thing will be done. There will be many
things of interest to be seen. The pro-
gramme is somewhat changed from any
preceding year. Great preparations have
been made, and very liberal purses offered
for running and trotting on each day of
the Fair, and there will be without doubt
the best running and trotting ever seen in
Iowa county. Then come one, come all !!
Bring your wives and little ones, your
man servants, your maid servants, your
asses, horses, mules, sheep and goats, and
in fact everything that you have that can
be moved from the farm or workshop to
the Fair. Remember it is county in
stitution, and is the property of each man
and woman residing in the county.

'Ausgang.' This, in German, means the

'Ausgang' presented itself. | knew that
it would come sooner or later. | knew
that if simply stood still the 'Ansgang'
would come round where l stood. If

similarly lost, for they kept coming up to

where the .Ausgang was. I said to them
Il am simply fellow worm of the dust,

of difficulty to get in here, and have
been wand ering around ever since trying

How TO PREVENT RAILROAD ROB
BERY.-The Chicago Tribune, in an
article on robbing railroad trains, says
that there is nothing so discouraging
to those cutthroats as the discovery
that other people can shoot and kill as
we'll as they,as instanced in the late at
tempt to rob the train on the Missouri
and Pacific railroad, wherein the prom
pit and gallant action Of the conductor
saved both life and property. There
is no crime in the calendar more mon
strous than that of robbing and wreck
ing passenger train, and the monster
who for the moneys sake will deliberate,

placed themselves outside the pale of
humanity, and deserve the deaths Of

eyes to the fullest extent in startled
wonderment. She could not under

with great persuasion that her mother
could keep her quiet during the time

Paper In the Boston Fire.

CURIOUS results followed some of the
experiments made upon charred papers
and documents, and the examination of
books in safes which proved worthless in
the great fire. 1t was found that what
paper-makers call poor paper-papercon-
siderably clayed," stood the test best.
Parchment paper, used for bonds and le-
gal documents, shriveled up exceedingly,
and the print blistered so that it could Be
read when writing was illegible. So Il
was with the engraved work on notes.
The gliding, on the account books burned
and charred, showed eut as bright and
clear as when the books were new, which
brings up the question if to Introduce gilt
edged account books would not be well,
on the ground that the gilt would stay the
passage of fire to the pages within. Books
crammed into safe, so that it was diff
cult to get them out, suffered considerably
less than those that were set i'm loosely,
and In some cases came out from safes, in
which everything else was worthless, go
far preserved that the figures on their
pages could be deciphered. With charred
