THE Davenport Gazette of this
morning has quite chapter concern
ing the confidence operations in Rock
Island, OF son of Ham rejoicing in
the historic appelation of Thomas
Jefferson. From the description, this
Thomas is undoubtedly the same
Ethiopian Of stately presence who
once welded the hirsute lance in a
dingy and odoriferous shop on Null
berry street, and subsequently de-
parted for Upton, leaving behind
not very enviable name. The Ga
zette accuses him of playing the
varied role Of beggar, rag picker,
preacher and thief. His principal
victim was ''lorn widow" who, be-
lieving the story that he was a
preacher, gave him some money and
a letter of recommendation. Soon
after his departure she missed from
her parlor an elegant book, valued
at IS 90, which she suspected him
of having taken. He was according
ly arrested at her instance, and upon
searching him bottle of whisky was
found in one pocket, Prayer Book,
stolen from the colored church, in an
other, and two dollars in currency in
still another. Thomas protested his
innocence, but he was nevertheless
taken to Jail. He will have a trial
soon.-Mus. Journal.

COUNTY FAIR.
A Few General Remarks.

Every man, woman. and child, with
in radius of twenty five miles, is in
terested in its success, and having
the fair become permanent institu-
lion that will provide instruction and
amusement for all. The summer will
be over, the harvest gathered, and we
need to meet together, compare notes.
renew old friendship, and form new
acquaintances, brush up old ideas,and
get better knowledge of each other
and what is going on around us. Here
we will have an opportunity to see
and examine the best horses and cat
tie, sheep and swine, of which our
noble State can boast. There are the
best of these in Cedar county, and
not few of them, which will be com
pared as to degrees of excellence at
the Fair, while to make the compar-
ison more interesting and instructive
we expect not a few horses, cattle,
aud hogs from other counties.
THE DISPLAY or HORSES
of the celebrated Norman and Cly-
desdae breeds, as well as the swift
thoroughbred and the serviceable
Roadster, will be we believe rs large
as ever witnessed at any County Fair
in Iowa.
In all the Departments of the Fair
the display will be SO complete as to
give every visitor new ideas in rela-
ton to our expanding industries, and
the high state of civilization to which
We are in process of attainment.
THE LADIES' DEPARTMENT
will be unrivalled. The Exhibition
Hall, IN charge Of Mr.VanNcss, assisted
by multitude of fair helpers, will be
''thing of beauty" which will be a
.sov forever" to every beholder. The
display of fancy articles, which should
adorn every home, will be very com
plete. The pictures, needle work,
flowers and collections of every kind,
will teach how the home can he made
pleasant and attractive.
ADJUSTMENTS
Of every legitimate kind will be pro-
vided. To those who believe no Fair
is complete without trials of speed,
OVER $500 IN PREMIUMS
is offered for trotting, running, etc.
While gambling. selling of pools,
or intoxicating drinks on the grounds
are strictly prohibited, there will be
going
PLENTY OF Fun
for AL who like it. The chance to
.'swing round the circle" will un-
doubtedly be large one, and it is
even limited that good music and a
good floor in some corner will invite
the tripping Of the light fantastic.
As many are already making inqui-
ries about the opportunity to keep
refreshment stand, and booths for the
sale OF various articles, we will here
state that the entire matter of
GRANTING LICENSES
is in the hands of n. G. Millhouse,
Esq, who will fix prices, locations,
ETC., etc. to the satisfaction Of all.

looking up matters political a little.
He says that Cotton men are sure of
FIVE votes from Cedar, Price men
claim seven and Burnett has sure
thing on one or two-which is a
large number to get out Of our

one has been counting political
chickens that are yet in very en-

THAT was an impecunious sort Of

forwards contributed just stamps en-

this one, to all appearances, being
about the first performance of the
company. However, it seemed to be
very satisfactory,as we observed that
quite . number Of the spectators
were but few minutes in getting
enough to last them until next time

THE SECOND DIsTRICr's BEER
Not few barrels of lager beer are
made within this Second Congress
sional District Of Iowa, in year. The
records of the office Of Collector
Boardman present figures which
prove this fact-and the Lyons Mr.
ror has been gathering them. Dur.
ing the year ending June, 1874, there
was removed for consumption from
the breweries in this district, COM
prising seven counties, ~ 800 barrels
of beer, an increase of 1906 barrels
over the year preceding. The regu-
lar wholesale price is ten dollars per
barrel, making $47S,s6O spent for
beer by the dealers, who make at
least one hundred per cent profit in
retailing it. This beer was all brew
ed within the district. Large guam
titles came into the district from
Milwaukee and other points. 1t is
thought that the receipts will exceed
the shipments about eight thousand
barrels of beer actually consumed in
the district last year. The brewers
in Davenport ought to counterfeit the
receipts, somehow, and keep the pay
for the eight thousand barrels at
home.-Doc. Gazette.

OPENING OF ScHooLs.-As the
schools are now being opened for the
coming year, it is opportune to call
attention to the fact that the Young
Folks Rural Monthly was used as a
text book in thousands of schools last
season, for reading exercises and as
q source for procuring dialogues and
matter for defamation and recita-
ton. An agreeable variety in read
ing lessons is beneficial. This peri
odical is without any doubt the best
for young people now published at
low price. 1t has numerous novel
and attractive features, and pays cash
prizes for best compositions -po--
ems, sketches, essays, etc. Sample
sent postpaid for fifteen cents, or
fifty cents will pay for "trial' sub
