SALINE COUNTY AND THE WESTERN
NATIONAL FAIR.

M uuVVH6 = Vs0s
Gen. Jno. H. Rice, General Agent OF
the Western National Fair, was in Sa-
lima yesterday for the purpose oftak n
the initiatory steps towards inducing
Saline county to make a proper exhibit
at the Fair to be held in Bismarck in
September. He has succeeded in in
ducing several of the best agricultural
counties of the State to become inter-
ested in the matter of q county exhi-
bition, and wishes Saline county to be
on hand with her display. In Nc
Pherson county lively interest is
being taken in the matter, and leading
farmers are marching to the front with
firm determination to capture the
baggage.
For the best county display s.. 900 in
premiums are offered, appOrtioned into
four premiums as follows: $1,000.
first $500. second; $500, third $500,
fourth. The county display will con-
sist of farm products, horticultural pro-
ducts, mineral products, Gncluding
coal, stone Of all kinds suitable for
building purposes, gypsum, etc. and
live stock. The awards are to be made
upon q scale of 20 points (which num-
Der is perfectly, to be as follows: !:
Farm and garden, SO horticultural, s.;
mineral, 8; live stock, IL. The awards
will be made by five of the most emil
nent farmers from other States, who
shall have no possible interest, direct
ly or indirectly, in Kansas. twill be
allowable for any of these products, or
the stock, to be entered for other pre-
miums than the county display-under
their appropriate classes. 1t is no
doubt well known that $50, 600 in pre-
miums are to be awarded by the Fair.
Now we can see no reason why Sa-
line county, as well as any other coun-
ty in the State, should not compete
even for the first premium. Agricul-
turally, she ranks "A1" with any
other county. And she has some stock
which cannot be beaten anywhere.
She has some live farmers, too, who
will no doubt take great pride in work
ing up this matter. Some kind of or
ganization is first necessary, and it is
proposed to proceed Immediately to
that business.
Gen. Rice will be in Salina on Sat-
urday, the lst day Of May, when he
will address our farmers on this sub
ject, as well as other subjects connect
ed with the Fair. 1t is desirable that
there shall be q general turn out ofour
farmers, and we hope they will make
it convenient to be present. Let Sa-
line struggle to make the best show
ing ever made in this country. 1t is
her interest to do 80, and the interest
of every farmer to assist her in go
doing.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT LoC0Mo-
TlvEC

He's been in the dumps because his
locomotive has been off for three OF
four days" said y railroad man ut the
union depot the other day, as he point
ed to an engineer who looked us sour
US any dyspeptic.
"How OFF,
$50 and ask him."
1t took u quarter Of an hour and 3
cigar to clear the cloud from the en-
gineer's face, and then in reply to the
query he said:
1T is queer thing. There's my
engine, one of the best on the road, in
perfect order, only twelve years old,
and able to run or pull with the best
Ofthem. A month ago / hadn't the
least bit of trouble in making time, no
matter how the track was or the weigh I
of the train. She was ready at the
word, held her steam beautifully, and
she seemed to understand every word
l said. To-day she is down in the
round-hOuse, grOwling and sputteriny
and acting as il she wanted to pick a
fuss with gravel-pit.
Anything out of gear ~
Not thing. She's been looked over
twice, and We can't find the least ex-
cuse for her conduct. She'll get over
it in a day or two, perhaps. If she
don't we'll punish her."
How ~
"Put her before a freight or stock
train. I've seen it tried dozen times,
and it most always worked well. Here
she is now, bright rs a new dollar and
as handsome as picture, and I'll bet
$50 there isn't the least thing out Of
order. She's simply sulking, the same
as child or woman, and know
what started it. Three weeks ago,
while on my run in with the night ex-
press, she just wanted to light right
out for all she was worth. She took
the bit like q running horse. and il l
hadn't choked her Off she'd have beat
Ell schedule time by forty minutes.
She acted mad right away, and in run
ming twenty miles she gave ME more
trouble than ever had with her in q
race of three hundred. She lost steam,
tried 70 foam over, choked hef pipes,
and when wanted more steam alle'd
slide on her drives. She went right
back on me that night, and has been
sulking ever since"
"Do all engines do this ?"
Not all. but many of them. Some
folks laugh at ~ and call it supersti-

A SPECIAL WANT.

FROM the Drosefs JOurnaI.
The United States needs more sheep.
In all parts of this great country to
secure health aud comfort, its people
must have food and clothing. The
sheep furnishes the best and most
wholesome animal food, and the most
comfortable clothing tested by the
masses of our people. In malarial dis
tricts, especially those where the ex-
tremes Of heat and cold are frequent,
wOOlen clothing and a freer and more
common diet Of good young mutton
would insure better health and more
vigOr than generally characterizes pork
eaters and the wearers Of cotton and
fine linen.
From the best data within our reach
We ascertain that there are on the en-
tire globe about 500, ,OOO, 900 sheep.
OF these the United States have but
about 5000, 900. Our manufactures
consume annually more than 2225 co. :
OOO pounds Of wool. II each Of our
sheep furnished five pounds Of wool,
there would yet be q yearly deficit Of
80, ,0OO, 900 pounds. Here Is q good field
for enterprising stockmen.
We need double our present number
Of sheep. Let no one indulge . single
fear OF an over-productiOn Of either
mutton or wool. Could our fiocks be
trippled or quadrupled they would add
not only to the comfort and healthful-
ness of the people, but to their intelIi-
gence and sObriety, as well as to the
productiveness Of every field used q q
sheep pasture.
We hope that every farmer who reads
this will At once consider how much
his interests would be subseryed by
adding score Of Leicester or South
down. long wOOled sheep. to his stock.
These furnish choice food, and their
increase and heeces are always In de-
mand, and that, too, at fair prices.

He is handsome, polite and afiable,

Having left the parlors and refresh.

the large and airy porch, to listen to
the delightful music given from the

by the band of the Sixteenth Infantry.
Bidding adieu to the officers at the
Fort, the party was driven to the top
of q hill north of Fort Riley which is
surmounted by . fine monument erect
ed to the memory of Major Ogden, the
founder of the Fort, who died about
1854. He was not buried there but in

presented the drama of "Seven Oaks. +"
And this grand play, 80 effectively and
charmingly rendered, was dramatized
by Mrs. Judge James Humphrey, OF
Junction City, who is regarded as one
of the most intellectual and accom-
plished ladies in Kansas. functions
fair ladies:and gallant men made q fine
looking audience, and the Golden Belt
editors felt highly complimented by
all they saw and heard.
At the conclusion of the "Seven
Oaks' entertainment. the editors
were invited to the residence of the
Mayor, Robert o. Rizer, who was CIV
ing q party in honor Of the Fifteenth
Anniversary Of his wedding, and there
treated to q handsome reception. Mr..
Rizer is one Of those whole -souled men
with whom you always feel at home. As
he met the party on the lawn, he said,
"Boys, my name is Bob Rieer; how do
you do, all; walk in and help your
selves" And they all did, with in
tense satisfaction.
1t was towards midnight when the
Golden Belters were reassembled at
the Bartell House. Two or more
hours were then spent in fixing up
resolutions, voting on President, Gov
ernor, the amendment, etc. "AI for

the vote for his especial benefit. 1t

homeward.
All united in the opinion that never
before had editors been treated SO

1, The charge asked by the plaintiff was
properly refused. 1t did not apply to the
facts of the case. The mule was not EN-.
braced In the deed, az il was written, and
the deed was not corrected until after the
sale was made TO Roberts, II, in fact, such
a sale was made, about which there Is u
conflict in the evidence. Uuntil the
correction was made, Roberts having, rs
he testified, no notice that the mule was
intended to be embraced IN the deed had
n right to purchase, and as against MN
there was no CONVEYANCE of the legal title
by the trust deed.
.. The charge for the defendant ought
not to have been given, !. because the
evidence clearly showed that the mule was
not embraced in the deed of trust; =. lhc
deed on its face did not give the trustee
the right to take possession of the mule on
the LIST day Of Dee. upon the mere default
in the payment. lie had the right to take
possession only ut the request of the
creditor. The powers of II trustee in u
deed like this are to be strictly constructed
so far as they relate to the sale of the
mOrtgaged property. lie had no duty
under the deed which required that he
should have possession of the property eX.
ccpt to sell il, lie was authorized to sell
only on request of the creditor. 1t is then
clear that the trustee had no cause OF ac-

until such request was made.
