beaten himself on getting goods and
has about a thousandth part of his
stock at the fair as sample of what his
store contains.
Passing by for the present, outside of
the main building thus hurriedly de-
scribed, the poultry and agricultural i'm
plement departments, we proceed to the
swine and sheep pens. Here are first
class exhibits, the sheep department be-
ing far ahead of what it has been at any
previous fair. The swine comprise three
pens of Poland Chinas, shown by Lee
Wright; four pens of Poland Chinas
shown by E. B. Pritchard, of Madison,
Greenwood county; three pens of Po-
land Chinas, Berkshires and Chester
Whites, shown by Joseph Brown; two
pens of Berkshires, shown by w. B.
Ross; and three pens of Berkshires,
shown by J. NJ. Henson. These are all
very fine stock, and sustains the reputa-
ton of Lyon county for thoroughbred
swine. We cannot particularize. The
sheep, cattle and horse departments are
all very full and fine, and our description
of the stock in them is crowded out un-
til next week for want of space We
will then also find room for descriptions
of the poultry, agricultural machinery,
wagons, races, and other features Of the
fair not noted to-day. We trust that the
rain of to-day will let up so that Friday,
at least, will be fair, and the people have
chance to get out. If it clears up to-
day the fair ought to be extended through

Forbes Dramatic Troupe will appear
at Bancroft Hall October 10 and IL.
This is first class troupe, and should
have crowded house. The following
is what the Moberly, Mo-, Beacon says
of them;
FORBES DRAMATIC TROUPE AT THE
OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT. -" Uncle
Toms Cabin" brought out all classes of
people last night, including many who
are never seen within theatre walls, and
one and all enjoyed the evenings per-
Torrance. The company is in the high
est degree artistic, and appreciative of
points that can be rendered taking"
At times the vast audience, en- rapport
with the players, was sad and fearful :;
many used handkerchiefs freely to wipe
away the tears of pure sympathy, and
this fact alone proves how closely SYM
pathetic were the sentiments of the play
and the wrought conceptions of the same
by the actors. Little Eva was, by far,
the Sweetest thing" on the boards. Her
acting, for so small child, was marvel
Gus. How any one could see "Uncle
Toms Cabin played without feeling
the need of purity to sweeten life, is an
unanswered question with us. Mrs.
Nelson Kneass played the part of Topsy
as we'll as it can be done. Poor Topsy!
She twas neber mad;" she thought she
growed." All, Topsy; metaphysics can
tell not much more. We recommend
the play to every one. The troupe is a
good one, deserving patronage. Our
people appreciate merit, and the rendi-
ton of Black Diamonds tonight will
call out all theatre-goers Go by all
means

MUSICAL CONVENTION.
Meeting to Make Arrangements.


AT the call of S. B. Riggs and E. w.
Cunningham, quite a number of the mu-
steal people of our city met at the NJ. E.
church on Monday evening. Mr.. Riggs
was called to the chair, and Mrs. Geo.
w. Curry elected secretary The presi-
dent requested Mr.. Cunningham to state
the object of the meeting. He said that
he had met Prof. H. s. Perkins in the
city last spring, the Professor then being
on his way to conduct musical conven-
ton at Council Grove. That ever since
he had been greatly DESTROYS to secure
the services of Prof. Perkins to hold a
like convention in our city. That we
needed to be awakened in musical mat
tiers, both to cultivate our social rela-
tiOns, and to promote better singing in
our churches. That during the summer
he had correspondent with Prof. Perkins,
and had made a provisional arrangement
with him to come to our city and con-
duct a convention on November 26th,
9th, 28th and Goth, and desired to know
if the muslc-loving people of our city,
and the community generally, would en-
dOrse such an arrangement and rally to
its support.
1t was decided by the meeting to en-
gage Prof Perkin for such convention,
and that an organization be effected at
once to make a grand success of the pro-
ject.
On motion of E.W. Cunningham, TIL.
Lewis and Chas. Fletcher were appoint
ed committee to name officers for a
permanent organization. The commit,
tee reported the following: President,
Jacob Stotler; vice presidents, w. A.
SimcOck, Council Grove; DIR. Smith, Eu.
reka; @. N. James, Eldorado, = McCol
lister, Newton, and Mrs. G. W. Newman
EmpOria; secretary, ]. G. Burnett; treas
urer, Miss Ella Murdoch; correspond
ing secretary, j. F. Drake; executive com
mittee, E. W. Cunningham, Chas. Fetch
er, Chas. Holmes, T. H. Lewis, 8. B
Riggs, Mrs. G. w. Curry and Miss Allie
Riggs.
The executive committee was instruct
ed to proceed at once to take the neces
sary steps to advertise the convention
and to secure such reduction of railroad
fare to delegates as is possible.
We most earnestly hope that this move
ment will meet with the active sympa
thy of our citizens. The parties engaged
will be at no little expense, which will
be met by membership fees, fixed at $3.50
for gents and 81 for ladies, and by hon
orary membership fees fixed at 81, emit
Ting such honorary member to admit
lance to all rehearsals and concert al
close of convention.
Quite number of persons from ad
joining towns propose to attend the con.
vention, and we anticipate very enjoy
able and profitable time.

The dime entertainment at the Metho-
dist church on Wednesday evening was
a decided success. The house wss well
filled, and the programme was an inter
esting and varied one, consisting of mu-
sic, vocal and instrumental, with piano
and organ, recitation, dialogue, etc.
Where all were SO good we cannot par
ticularize in our limited space, but will
say that much merriment was created by
Miss Nellie Clippers Address to Bach

vocal Duets by frankie Stotler and Allie
Buckner, Misses Ella Murdoch and Allie
Riggs. The whole programme was well
worth listening to.

THE WEATHER.

1t Rains and May Spoil the Fair.
The attendance at the fair to-day
Thursday and tomorrow would be
very large, but unfortunately it began
to rain this morning, and it promises to
keep raining all day. If the weather
clears up in time, we may have good
day for Friday. The baby show will
take place as announced if the weather
is suitable for babies to be taken to the
grounds. We trust that the weather will
smile on us before the fair closes, and
give the people a chance.

AN ASTONISHING FACT. IA large proportion
from the effects of dyspepsia or disordered
liver. The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually burden
instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment
and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no
aside prejudice and skepticism, take the adj
vice of druggists and your friends, and try
one bottle of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles
OF this medicine have been given away to try
its virtues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy q sample bottle for 10

worst case. Positively sold by all druggists

Our arrangements for the NEWS Sixth
Annual Baby Show at the Lyon county
fair are as complete as the facilities of
the main building there will admit, and
better than on previous occasions. The
south side of the east wing has been al
loted to US, and platform five feet wide
and 80 feet long, guarded by railing,
open at one place to admit those entitled
to go behind the railing, has been erect
ed. On this platform will be seats for
the parents and babies, and room for the
cOmmitte to look at them without diff
Guilty. The people have room to pass
along in front, and by keeping in mo-
ton all can see nicely and the pa
rents and babies not be made I'M
comfortable. This we hope will allevi-
ate the tremendous jam of previous oc-
casions. Entries include babies of any
age up to two years, and cost nothing.
The parents, of course, pay their way in
to the fair, the same as other people.
The way to enter the babies for the ba-
by show is to call at the secretary's of
flee, at the entrance to the fair grounds,
give the name and age of the baby, get
card numbered and pinned to the baby's
dress, and be on hand at the proper place
in the main building promptly at p.
m, as everybody will wish to see the
races, and the committee is expected to
begin promptly at 2 O'Clock to inspect
the array of infantile beauty, and then
decide by majority vote which shall
have the premiums, which will be on
hand and be delivered at the time. As
there will be but one class, the commit
tee can be expeditions, as waiting is te-
dious to both babies and parents. The
premiums are:
