THE COUNTY FAIR.
That Same Old North Easicr.-.
Everything Hut the Weather
Highly EavOrab!c.--WtN Con.
TIME till Friday, and saturday
ifNcccssary.

1t would seem that the appointment
Of a Cedar county Fair during the
cheated term" in July would be a
national blessing. 1t would be sure
to bring on the inevitable cold north
east storm, and Of eontsc at once re-
lieve all apprehensions Of sun stroke,
drought, and SO forth. Tuesday
morning, the first day Of the Fair
that was to be, opened with heavy
cold north east rain, which continued
nearly all day, just laying every
effort Of preparation over. Wednes-
day, although threatening, did not
rain, and the work of filing up the
several departments on the grounds
went forward very rapidly. Large
numbers Of stock entries were made
in all classes. Beside the local
horses, there were brought in flyers
from Clinton, West Liberty, Musca-
tine, and other points. The Hall
promised even more than ever be-
fore. But last night the willing
heavens were opened again, and the
floods descended, and to-day the out
look is not hattering. But the man.
agement are plucky, and declare that
Friday and Saturday will be pleasant
days-to which prophesy We all add
J earnest hope.

seems to have escaped his attention, and
his comments were generally favorable.
This IS not usual with foreigners of

high in position as the eminent ruler re-

rope, was one Of greatest pleasure to
him. Leaving Chicago at 5I5 =. NJ,
the magnificent car which he occupied
was run over the Great Fort Wayne &
Pennsylvania line to Philadelphia, the
Emperor having selected this road on
account of its being the shortest, quick
est, and most desirable route to the Cen
tennial, and because of the grand pano.
ramlc and charming scenery which
greet the eyes OF all who take this
iavorite railway.
The railways Of Brazil are still in an
embryonic condition, while other instltu
tions of that country are far in advance
of our own, and the high state of perfec
ton OF the Great Fort Wayne & Penn

such an extent that he declared it to he
the finest railway he ever saw, IN every
respect, and without an equal i'll any

With so favorable an opinion from
such high authority, we take pleasure
in recommending to all our friends and

Mean RsILpnAp News The man
ayers Of the Clinton 4 Southwestern
railroad made ten strike last SGtur-
day at Ottumwa---or rather, agents of
the e. Is. & q. railroad did it for them.
They bought the road bed Of the old
Cedar Rapids & st. Louis, built years
ago, between Ottumwa and Sigour-
ncy. We believe twenty-sx miles of
the distance between the two places
are graded and bridgea, and that a
good share Of the work has been done
the remainder of the way. The route
takes in Iowa City, and there is con-
siderable grading between Sigourney
and that town. The purchasers OBJ
tanned this good thing by buying a
claim of s., 800 held by Blair & Liv-
ingston, claim of ST. 900 hely by S.
ID. Carpenter & Co., and a large
amount Of the Company's paper held
by the Iowa National Bank at Ottum-
wa.
We are informed that the work of
completing the road bed between the
points named above, will be COM
menced Immediately, SO that connec-
ton may be made at Iowa City with
the Clinton 4 Southwestern road.
1t is the intention Of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy management to
run their through freight and stock
trains between Council Bluffs and
Chicago over this new line, for the
purpose Of relieving the line between
the Mississippi and the lake. The
new route will lessen the distance be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri
about twenty miles, and put the COM
pany in better shape to bid indepen.
IDENTITY for the contract Of carrying the
through mail.
1t is u pretty good lay out for the
Clinton & Southwestern-though, Of
course, that road will insist on the To-
cal sid from Clinton and Iowa City
all tn" same. But who ever thought
that G. b. & G. trains would be run
ming through Scott county, as seems
now to be the prospect?-Darenpor,

WOUNDED BY THREsHER.-Mr.
James Patterson, a well known resi-

jured last Saturday by getting his
hand and arm caught in the side gear
Of a threshing machine he was at the
time operating in the vicinity of
Stanwood. We are not informed of
the precise nature Of the injury, but
understand that though the flesh is
terribly lacerated clear to the elbow,
he may escape with only amputation
Of some Of the fingers. Dr.'s Hunt,
of Stanwood and Maynard and Focht
Of Upton, have all been in attendance
though we believe the patient is in
the care of the latter. We sincerely
hope Mr.. Patterson may escape even
better than he has hoped.
