work-by the personal efforts OF those
having the fair in charge. 1t will not
do to rely on printed premium lists. The
prominent agricullurists. stock raisers
and dealers, arIizans, aud all other class
es should become personally interested
in its success. This Is the way fairs are
worked up. We are satisfied that
the citizens of this county
will feel pride enough in
the county, and interest enough in
the beneficial effects Of thorough fair
to lend helping hand If the proper ef-
fort is made 10 enlist them in It's success
A fair cannot bs run in the same old
ruis year after year. The ruts wear out.
There is something else for the officers
and directors to do besides appearing
upon the grounds with white, blue and
green ribbons pinned upon their coats.
A personal canvass of the county ought
Ia be made TO interest those who must
lend helping hand If the fair shall be
successful. Get the people out. Hold
township meetings, and thus awake all
interest in the fair. And another thing.
our fairs have been run too much in the
interest of gamblers. Large numbers
of country people as we'll as those from

Train wreckers C,au.bt

DENVER, Col July 2S-Charles Dun
away was arrested here this morning at
O'Clock by G. G. Healy, a detective of
the Chicago and Northwestern railroad.
The crime of which he is charged is
that ofwrecking the pay car of the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway at a
small station thirty-five miles from Chi
cago. A desperate struggle took place
at the time, and it was not until the pay
master had been dubbed almost to death
that the robbers succeeded in their plans
and secured the booty. Immediately
after the bold robbery the entire special
force OF the company were set at work
to hunt down the perpetrators, and as
an incentive large rewards we're
offered. 1t was soon ascertained that
the work had been done by q gang of
desperate train thieves and wTeckers
who infested Indiana and Illinois, and
OF whom Dunaway was the chief. Wig
orous search was made and as result
three OF the party, known as Chas. Mil
Ter, y. Overton and T.. jackson were ar
rested and are now in Jail in Chicago.
Detective Healy received information
which led him to believe that the man
he wanted was in this section, hence his
visit and the result The accused is
medium sized man, and, although some
what surprised at his arrest, took the
matter rather cOOlly. He was at first
disposed to stand on his legal rights and
secure counsel. but, after talk with the
officers, cOncluC ed TO go at once To Chi
cagO and make his fight there. He ac-
cOrdingly started ON the morning train

which we may answer: There are those
who have waited, for the strawberry is

ever before. Estimates of the increase
vary from 10 To 80 per cent, and 1t is
safe To place it at fully 20 per cent. Dur
ing the season, which ends about No

not less than la, 900 head of the plains

is the provision for the issue of ''postal

The charge for money orders not exceed

eight cents, the present rates being ten
cents for everything under SIS; and at
the other end of the scale; the service is
extended by raising the limit of orders
from $50 to 800, with graduated Sc
