Walter Dubois entered very large

goat, which attracted much attention.
The exhibition of sheep annually
grows better and larger. Next year,
il is to be hoped that the premiums
will be such as 10 induce greater va
riety of thoroughbreds, with crosses
and grades, for sheep growing is one

of the Arkansas Valley.
FRUIT, PRESERVES, RICKLES, ETC.
Notwithstanding the settlement of
this valley dates back scarce half
dozen years, it's production Of fruit
the past season has proved seven
days wonder. The parent varieties OF
cultivated and standard peaches and
pears were so disguised by mammoth
growths that they were not recogniz-
able by the oldest growers, being only
equallcd by the wonderful produc-
tons of California. NJ. r. Moser,
whose fine orchard is in sight of the
city, ii. j. Hills, f. Pierpoint and
others, whose names have appeared
from time 10 time in these columns,
have exhibited fruit that astonished
the oldest growers. But few of Sedg-
wick county apple and pear trees have
yet reached the bearing age, but the
few that did the past season gave
earnest of an unsurpassed abundance
of wonderful fruit in the near future.
Many were the expressions of surprise,
and favorable comments by the thou
sands were made by the crowds that
for four days viewed the fruit placed
on exhibition by NJ. r. Moser, Chris
Kimmerlie, Thomas o. Hoss, VIM.
GrifIenstein and E. Pierpoint, and the
jars of preserved fruit by Mrs. IL. J.
Hills, Mrs. f. N. Lewis, G. F. Hargis
and others. In classes en-" 81" and

FARM PRODUCTS.
In this line, if no other, Sedgwick
county should have made showing
that would not only have surprised all
strangers, but gratified her own peo-
pie. In the agricultural tent it was
a common remark made by farmers
that they could have beaten such and
such exhibits, but they thought it was
no use to try. If Sedgwick county is
anything, she is surely an agricultural
county, county whose productions
have not only often surprised her own
farmers, but the eyes of the world at
thC Sic0l IutCIuoliOudi euoW inoe COZ
at Philadelphia. Her fifty per cent. of
bottom land is not for nothing. But
it must be recorded that the exhibit
ton of farm products did not meet
the expectations of many. The quail
ty was all that could be desired, and
much that was of surprising growth
huge, enormous and all that, but in
stead of huge pyramids of vegetables,
and bins and bags of grain too numer-
Gus to mention, there were but small
heaps and piles. There was corn that
measured nearly a foot and half,
melons that weighed half hundred
pounds each, raddishes that looked
like sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes
that resembled huge squashes, squashes
larger than pumpkins, and pumpkins
half as big as meeting house, but the
numbers were short. And in the mat
ter Of butter and cheese there should
have been q hundred entries instead
of less than a dozen. The oats, rye,
wheat, timothy, ETC., were all splendid
except as to quantity. But we hope
for better things another year. The

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
When the fact that Wichita sells
more implements and machinery than
any other town in the State of Kan
sas is taken into consideration, the
show made by our dealers proved ex-
ceedingly meagre. Hundreds of thresh-
ing machines, thousands of plows, har-
rows, drills. cultivators, aud SO forth,
are annually sold by the dealers of
Wichita. We are assured that two or
three firms go beyond one hundred
thousand dollars each.
John Bard's Lockwood patent hay
and stock rack attracted considerable
attention among feeders. 1t is, no
doubt, an excellent thing.
A. j. Cooke s. Co., exhibited a gang
plow, sulky pillow and attachments, two
horse old ground pillow, sulky plow
breakar, Windmill, corn-sheller, wheel
barrow, grain-drill, horse power, and

few days ago and communicated the fact
to certain brethren that he had received
some damaging proofs about the past

He exhibited documents to show conclu
sively that Foster had five living wives
from none OF whom he had been divorced
that he had married them 10 get their
money and then dropped them; that
he had led wild and dissipated
life and hud used other and equally
improper means 10 beguile the people

He admitted that he had three wives, but
claims to have been divorced from thum
that he had led dissolute life up tc
two years ago, when he was converted

Enslands Position in the War.

EngIands Position in Inc War.
i've are to believe the sensational news
sent to tho New York Sun, which is pub.
lished in this mornings dispatches, Eng
land is rapidly drifting into war with
Russia, and in which she is to be joined
by Austria. We take this news at heavy
discount. 1t is probably manufactured
ont OF The supposed significance Of the
recent vote in the House OF Commons
whereby the Ministry we're overwhcl.
mingly sustained in their anti.Rufsta
answer to GortschokolF's circular. Those
who kept the run OF the speeches that
preceded the vote do not need 10 be told
tha, the Ministry we're forced into an
explicit declaration Of their views,
and that these declarations were
not war like, but quite the re-
verse. For instance, Mr.. Gross, the
Home Secretary, made speech in which
he emphaticully condemned Turkish
misrule, and unCquivocally declared that
the Government would do nothing to
protect the Porte; that it would, howev.
er, protect English interests; and he de-
fined this as meaning the protection Of
the Suez Canal. Of Egypt, and the freedom
OF the DardaneIles, and hence the Gov.
ernmcnt would prevent Constantinople
from conquest. The general policy Of the
Ministry, "a he defined it, was not to
sanction tyranny or oppression in any
pattot the world, but to preserve treaty
engagements, and to set good ex.
ample to other nations, and to main
tam strict neutrality between the con.
tending parties in the present war. This
seems 10 have dissipatcd the apprehen.
sions which were entertained in many
quarters that England was going to inter.
ieFe actively to help the Turks, but it did
not satisfy the Gladstone Liberals, who
think England should not allow The
Turkish Christians to look only to Russia
for aid or sympathy, but should interfere
actively Ontheir behalf. 1t was positive.
" asserted that Mr.. Cross declaration
that the Cabinet was united with regard
to the course to be pursued would not
have been true had he made il three
days sooner; in other words, that there
had been a positive split, and tha, Lar.
.a0ny had been restored barely in time
for the debate. '''''
We prefer to take the declarations
made inthe House Of Commons AZ TO ,bo,
policy Of the British Government rather "a ias
than irresponsible news TO The New Yosl,
Sun, a'ensatiOnal and unreliable paper,
and therefore We do not for The nrcsen,
look Tor any departure on the part ot
hnsland from the policy that has been
announced BY her Ministry.
