THE FAIR,

We are glad to see the members of
the executive committee of the Wa
dena County Agricultural Association,
taking hold with such determined
manner the matter of fair here this
fall, and we hope that they will each
individual member, both of the com.
mittee. the association, and the ag-
ricultural community which feels in
terested in extending the farm inter-
ests of this section, deem it their es-
pecial duty to do all in their power to
make this, the first fair a success.
Every man can do something if it is
nothing more than to talk about it,
and thus advertise and keep the mat
ter fresh in the minds of the people.
Much depends upon the excellence
of this fair. In the amount, excel
lence and variety of agricultural pro-
ducts, we propose to show the capa-
bilities and unbounded resources Of
this section more completely than
can be done in any other way. Invi-
tations are being sent out to and ex-
cepted by prominent agricultural and
political men of the State who are un-
doubtedly coming out of a spirit OF
curiosity to see this new country in
all the crudeness of it's newness; to
see if our tanners look and act like
farmers in older countries. They
will scarcely come prepared to see
what the farmers here are capable Of
showing them, and if we exert our
selves qve can asto11ish them. This
is what we want to do. TO bring our
section up to a footing equally COM
manding of the respect of those ''high
in office" with older section, and in
no way can it be done better than by
showing them what we are made OF
and what we can do when we set out
to perform some object. There is a
deeper and more important interest to
the farmers in this and adjoining
counties in this regard than appears at
a casual glance, and if they give the
matter the fair consideration it is
worthy of we have no doubt they will
almost universally labor for its sue
cess. At least they should do so, and
we hope to see every farmer in the
territory mentioned, who possibly can,
attend the meeting Saturday ;.f-
ternoon, join the Association. and by
his aid and advice show that
he is interested in the country in
which he lives. See notice in another
column.

INMAN.
We are having beautiful weather
now, showers falling just often
enough to keep everything booming.
Wheat and oats never looked better.
Many of our farmers think that wheat
will average from Is to 80 bushels per
acre, while oats promise to go any
thing you're mind to ask. Corn is
just beginning to grow; in fact every
thing looks just splendid.
There has been about 200 acres Of
land broke in our town this year, and
the season not near over.
Our assessor has finished his work,
and the valuation found to be double
what it was last year. The personal
property valuation is nearly $4,000,
while the real estate is over $4,000.
Tw2 years ago, the total valuation of

enjoyment of the mass of people who
met on the 5th to celebrate our ma

did not hear the Oritor of the Day,
but admired the toasts and responses,
and was almost tempted to volunteer
another toast ''To the Success of our
many New Neighbors.
The rapid enlargement of the busi-
ness of the village, requires a CORE
spending improvement of the vacant
lands in its vicinity, and this can only
be had by attracting settlers from
other>places. TO get those we must
encourage them to come. and bid
them welcome when here. In an
swering letters of enquiry, I would
like to say that new settlers were
toasted like the pioneers. and that
farmers were as welcome as editors
and lawyers. The omission of any
allusion to politics or religion in ad-
dressing such Il mixed multitude was
wise, because no speaker can utter his
own convictions on these subjects,
without clashing the opinions of many
in the crowd. The reason is, that
those ideas are mostly bread in the
person like the color of the hair or
the tint of the skin, which may only
be altered by stains and dyes, and
each individual exceeds his rights
when he attempts to rectify the Pc
culiarities of others. When q Re-
publican or Democrat, Catholic or
Protestant is satisfied that he is right,
he may congratulate himself. but he
should not try to set every other man
right, for this is where the trouble
comes in. And 50 a man may extol
the merits of his own nation, rs the
Scotchman did that day, but to be
cheered as the Scotchman was, he
must let the faults of other nations
alone. When told down east, that
my parents were Scotch, and l was
born in Edinburg, that was all right.
But when I said, only staid in Scot
land long enough to save me from be-
ing a yankee and that was all I cared
for, the insinuationswas resented, as
it deserved to be.

great contrast to certain no-license
towns l could name, and shows that
men will behave when left free, al
though they baulk under restraints.

I thought as there is no correspond
ents from Aldrich, that I would drop
you few lines in regard to crops etc.
Crops in this vicinity never looked
better. Corn is just bouncing up.
We have got town site laid out at
last. L. P. White was here and laid
out few streets on each side of the
track.
John Gillespie is preparing to build
a new store.
We want a hotel very bad. There
is not accommodation for half the
people that comes here.
We expect saw and grist mill
here this fall. There is no better
place on the N. p. for a saw mill than
Aldrich, as there is an abundance of
timber of both pine and hard wood
tributary to Aldrich, and a home mar
ket for all the lumber that can be
sawed.
Mr.. Thompson, our wagon maker
has built himself good house, and
is moving his shop along side of it.
Mr.. Cornelly intends to build a sub
stantial dwelling this fall. SO you
see that Aldrich has an eye to the
county seat as we'll as other towns.

OPENING THE FREE BATHS.
NEARLY NINE THOUSAND MEN AND
BOYS IN THE WATER.

NEARLY NINE THOUSAND MEN AND
BOYS IN THE WATER.
The announcement that the free
baths would be opened yesterday
brought thousands of youngsters to
the river side at an early hour. The
baths are situated ON the East River at
112th street, Thirty-seventh street,
Nineteenth street, Fifth street. Gouv-
erneur street and the Battery.s There
are also baths ON the North River at
Bethune and Fifty-first streets. At 5
a. m. yesterday several hundred men
and boys were admitted to the baths
and were soon enjoying the cool water
of the river. They were not permitted
to remain in the baths more than
twenty minutes at time, and conse-
quently there was lively sport until
the time was exhausted. The young
sters stripped themselves with light
ming rapidity, shedding their cloths
about as soon as they reached their
closets. Then pausiug moment on
the platforms edge, they shot into the
water, emerging with smiling faces
At the Battery the bath-house is the
most commodious of the structures in
this line. In its sixty-four retiring
rooms were crowded by two and three
hundred men and boys. Three or
four persons can he accommodated in
each room, bnt when the pressure is
great six or seven boys are crowded in
together. Over thousand boys had
enjoyed bath before o'clock yester-
day IN the Battery bath alone, and be-
fore nightfall 5000 or 8, 900 had bath
ed. The baths were opened at a. m.
and closed at 0 p. m. Keepers were
constantly on duty looking after the
small boy. The latter sometimes got
into trouble and was "ducked" until
nearly slrangled; or he got into fight
and was drowned. Then he didn't
want to come out when the big bell
sounded, and raised all manner of OBJ
jections. The keepers rattan always
carried q potent argument when it
was raised, and the small boy did not
need second warning. Probably
40, 900 youngsters bathed in the free
baths yesterday, and more would have
been on hand if the thunderstorm had
not deferred them. Many attempts
were made to obtain extra baths, but
wet hair and clean faces betrayed the
majority. Men and boys can bathe on
Sundays from 5 a. m. till noon, and
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Women and girls have Mondays, We'd
nesdays and Fridays.

The paris AbattoIr.

The slaughter houses of Paris are 10
Gated at LaVillette, on the outskirts Of
the city, and form together with po.
lice station, telegraph Office, barracks fol
a small force of troops stationed there, q
town of very respectable size. The
buildings, which are Of stone, were con.
structed in the most thorough manner
by the city under government authority.
The premises are enclosed by high
stone wall, and the grounds are divided
into regular rectangles by four avenues
intersected by four streets.
Through each building runs series Of
cours, covered with glass ceiling, ard
in these cours the slaughtering is done,
the animals being dressed on wooden
frames placed at regular intervals on
each side OF the cour. A peculiar fea-
ture of the business is that of blowing
up the carcass as soon as the head and
legs are cut off, which the Commercial
Bulletin describes as follows: The body
being placed on the dressing frame, an
incision is made in the breast near the
neck, and the nozzle of bellows in
serted. A man then works the bellows
for about fifteen minutes, until the

small balloon. The reasons given for
this are that it makes the meat look bet
ter, more plump than 1t otherwise would,
and that it enables the one who skins
the carcass to get the hide off quicker
and easier, without injuring 1t. All bull
locks, calves, sheep, etc slaughtered in
these establishments, are blown up in
this manner.
Pig butchery in Paris is also conducted
upon novel plan. The pigs are taken
into large rOuHdhouse, having cupo-
la in the roof to let off the smoke, the
floor being divided into triangular dens.
A dozen or so of pigs are driven into each
den at time, and butcher passes
along and strikes each one on the head
with mallet.
After being bled, the defunct porkers
are carried to the side of the room and
arranged methodlcally in row. They
are then covered with straw, which is set
on fire and the short bristles quickly
burned off. After thorough scorching
the pigs are carried into the dressing
room, hung upon hooks, and scraped by
means ofa sort of drawing knife, handled
by skillful operator, who performs his
work at the rate of about one pig min
ute. Then the bodies are washed and
the entrails taken out and cleaned.
Every part of the animal is utilized in
Paris, and that which the American
throws away as worthless is made to sub
serve some use in the Frenchman's econ.
omy. The pigs blood is used in the
manufacture of the large black sausage:
which meet with such extensive sale il
Paris. The long bristles are pulled OH
by hand and go to the brush-maker.

The Brighton and South Sea Com
pany have revived the project of sup
plying London with sea water. Engi-
neers have shown over and over again
that the thing is feasible, and statisti-
clans have proved it would be profita-
BILE. Seeing that the estimated cost
will be sixpence per gallon, the eau de

luxury. The idea of the promoters is
to establish little bathing places and
imitation seasides, not only in sub
urban haunts, but even in the back
yard of the private citizen, with a salt
water bank, few loads of sea sand to
form margin of stand, a camp-stool,
