The State Fair, held at Milwau-

total failure, on account of the rains,
mud being all the so.
Lumber is again coming down over
the rapids, although the river is very
low Almost ever raft sticks on the
large dam just above the locker pier.
Parrish Bros. are doing the fair
thing with their patrons. We hear
them spoken of as gentlemanly, &C
commodating, and clear down to the
bottom on price, men.
1t is being currently reported that
a certain young man in this city drew
a revolver on his father, the other day.
Very bad business for a young man to
be in. if true.
Warner still continues to sell a

stove when a man don't want one.

There was girl in our town and

The way that democratic journals
try to hood-wink their readers with
falsehoods, is a caution. There is
barely a truthful statement in them.
They have no reliable political news
whatever. They exagerate every
thing and nothing. and the reader is
obliged to look in dismay, and say,

"A tight-rope walker performed
his tactics on wire drawn from the
roof of Frank Russell's building to
the second story windows of the Wit
ter Hall last Friday evening, to large
concourse of people, very we'll, but by
no means as advertised. He goes by
the name of Prof. Chaffee His in
door performance we did not attend
not having the time to waste. 1t is
reported as being fair.
The bus of O. G. Naeves is not
run always to the entire satisfaction of
all travellers. we are sorry to say, as
another complaint has been brought
up of late A certain party of young
people, consisting of two ladies ard
gentlemen, who were going away last
Saturday on the W. V. afternoon
train south, and having ordered the
bus to come for them, waited patient
ly until time for the departure of the
train, and still no bus came, so they
were obliged to stay over and hire a
rig and go on Sunday, to their destin-
alton, much to their dissatisfaction and
disgust, especially on such bad roads
as we have at present. We would
advise our friend Neeves to have
little more care and not disappoint his
customers in that way.
Those of our readers who propose
to join the September and October
rush to the Centennial, will do well to
make the Merchants Hotel, on Fourth

houses in the city, furnishing the
most comfortable quarters for the
least money-only S. per day. 1t is
situated between two principal lines of
Street Cars for the Centennial grounds
the Park and other places of interest,
and is convenient to the Post Office,
places Of amusement, ETC., down town.
All who go there will be handsomely
treated.
Wonderful success. 1t is report
