Time s:3l4 1904 1904 2:36 2:33
When the races commenced the dust
flew in clouds, but by the time they were
half through, the dust being blown away
and the wind subsiding, the trotting
RAGS became very telesting, enhanced
by Sheridan and Howard being so nearly
matchedthat they were generally neck and
neck, and Fox but length, or at most
out a few, lengths behind.
Notice was given from the stand
that on Saturday afternoon a purse
OF 5000 would be trotted for by the
same horses and perhaps others.
During the races Harvey Durkee
and Rouse Simmons of Kenosha
were on the Judges stand, and the
Kenosha Olker Band occupied posi-
tons on the other stand, from which
they entertained the vast crowd
with enlivening music. The number
at the fair on that day was estima-
ted by good judges at 5000 to 5000
SO says the Waukegan Gazette.
At the close of the trotting race
the Kenosha folks left for The Keno
sha Accommodation, and arrived
safely at home at $50.
Some Of our people we think at
tended the fair every day. On Sat
urday there were considerable mum
Der present. From our reporter we
learn that there was large number
at the fair, about two thirds as many
as ON Thursday; that General How
ard, Phil Sheridan and Fox tro:ted
for the purse OF 5000, the best three
in five winning; that four heats
were trotted, Sheridan getting one,
and Howard three and the race
time not as good as on Thursday
and that Kitty Stacy, Waxford, and
Derringer were entered for the race
that Waxf I'd won the first and sec
ond heats that Derringer was with
lrawn ; that during the third heat
Waxford run out of breath, ree'ed
against the inner railing and fell over
it dead, his driver getting his shout
der broke and that Kitty Stacy
won the third heat and the race.
Aside from the unfortunate termi-
nation of Waxford and his race, the
Waukegan Fair, as an exhibition,
was great success, and, Judging
from the numbers attending, we
should think must have been a great
financial success.

THE LOUISIANA REBELLION

OTHER STATES READY FOR REBELLION.
The following from the Natchitcches
indicator is indicative of the general
feeling of the Penn anu McEneyites in
Louisiana under the dictation of the
White League extending through the
Southern States.
The VIndcator says
No Kellogg officials shall rule ouer US.
This is our fixed determination, come
what may, If Myers, Boult and Blunt,
and that Tx, are to be our rulers, Pres
Dent Grant we advise you to send 5000
Federal bayonets TO install them, and af-
ter that you must keep them here for all
time to come; for, by the living God,
naught but death shall make US submit to
their presence.
In New Orleans the Penn and McEnor7
Usurpation yielded because President
Grant ordered Gen Emory to put down
the Instruction and report afterwards
They we'll knew that resistance would
soon be overcome and would endanger
their own safely. In other parts of the
State usurpation showed a bolder front
till the United States soldiers appeared
and then they fed. The Natchitc ches
VIndicator was bold and outspoken a.
long as the soldiers were at distance
and was ready to resist even them. to the
extent of their ability. The inability ot
the usurpationists to resist President
Grants order, saved Louisiana from re-
belion.
That there is vide spread orga MIA
ton through the South to restore the old
order Of things there can be no doubt
And that the members of the Organiza
ton contemplate resistance to the author
itY of the United States for the accom-
ment of their purpose is becoming quite
manifest from the signs of the times. Two
articles from the Atlanta Daily News,
printed in this paper show that Che sririt
Of rebellion was not confined TO Louis "a
ma, but was extensive and rampant through
the Southern States.
A tcmporising policy Of the admins
traton with the Louisiana usurpationists
and Georgia woul have gone into rebel
lion, and the other rebellious States woulc
have followed as rapidly as they followed

There were two races in the afternoon
A trotting race which excited general
interest, and pacing race, alternating
with the trotting, which excited but
little interest. Phil Sheridan, General

Few persons realize how extensive ts
the telegraph system operated by the
Western Union Company. recent
statements before the House Committee
1t was shown that the Western Union
operates more miles Of telegraph line
than all Switzerland, Sweden, Holland,
Belgium, Hungary, Spain, Bavaria, Den
mark, Norway, Portugal, Greece, Wur-
temburg and Great Britain combined.
In area Of territory Germany, Spain,
Hungary and Great Britain nearly equal
the United States, and they have apop-
ulation nearly four times as great as that,
Of the United States and yetthe Western
Union alone operates more miles Of
line, and sends more messages annually,
than oil the lines in all these countries.
The Western Union sends annually fifteen
million messages, or one To- two and half
persons in the United States, while all
Europe, with seven and a hall times the
population Of this country, or SOC, 600, 900,
sends only fifty million messages yearly,
Or one to six persons. This may truly be
called the land Of telegraphs. Nor has
our telegraphic system ceased growing;
indeed, in rapidity Of increase and in
reduction Of charges, ~ contrasts re
markably with that Of European no,
tons. In 1865 the Western Union had
75,ess miles Of wire, and In 1873 Il
had 154, AL miles, an increase Of 104 per
cent, or 1875 miles. But England had

9ls miles, an increase Of only tWenty.Iouf
per centfor 1O0eS miles. ID, numbe sof
offices, the increase In the two countries
was more nearly equal, owing to Eng:
lands greater density q population. N
1853 the Western Union had 1900 Offices,
and in 1873 It had $40, an increase
Of 100 per cent while England had
