Attractions at Milwaukee. -Annlic

Attractions at Milwaukee. -Applica-
tons for space continue to pour in for
the coming fall exhibition by the Mil
waukee Industrial Exhibition Associa-
ton, and the number of entries now
made number about six hundred. A
display beyond all precedent is guaran-
teed by the management, and the at
fractions offered are of the best. The
museum, of which mention was made in
a former issue, is in itself u wonder of
wonders, and the opportunity presented
for viewing one of the grandest exhibits
in this line without extra charge should
not be lost. The collection is the prop
erty of Prof. H. A. Ward, of Rochester,
N. Y, and has only been accumulated
after years of labor and study, and at
great expense. The Milwaukee Exposi-
ton pays all expenses of bringing six
carloads of these wonderful specimens,
consisting of the skeleton of whale,
forty feet long; minerals, rocks and fos-
sis, collection of mounted mammals,
shells and corals, series of mounted
skeletons from small sizes to an ele-
plant, and in fact all the perquiSites
which tend TO make up first-elass
museum. This vast collection will oc-
oupy over ten thousand square feet of
space, and alone be worth a trip 10 Mil
waukee The general exhibition will
far surpass anything yet presented, and
the building has been laid out in most
tasteful and attractive manner. The
railroads offer their usual excursion
rates, whereby parties may visit the
metropolis of the state in the most beau
tiful season of the year, at n nominal
cost. The hotel accommodations of the
city are ample, and there viii be no in
crease of regular prices during the Ex-
position. There viii be no side shows
this year-25 cents admits YOU to all.

zel's and John Phillips building hung
a large gun about twelve feet long from
which depended graceful banner bear
ing the motto, by this we Conquered.
Over Col. j. G. Clark's building proud
ly floated new Gag, while in front of
the postoffice and Cabanis, jackson &
Maryel's store, were displayed numer-
GUS flags, notices and lanterns. III. P.
Greene's building showed off to good
acknowledgements the inspiration of many
stars and stripes, as did also Jones &
Bryan's drugstore. Ivey & Webb's
store was festooned in red, white and
blue with flag portrait of the President.
John Simison's patriotic fire cropped
out in display of
FLAGS ALL AROUND.
L. j. Benedict decorated in the most
approved style, while c. H. Baxter &
Co.'S. building, together with The HER
AID office, the Bank of Ryland & Co.,
Bushnell & Watkins law office and Jno.
j. Oswald's hardware store. flung out
their pennons to the CHEEKY breezes in
handsome array. John p. Lewis dis
played large flag, and Nathan, Alt &
Co., made fine show in the way of
colors. John Jeide told his loyalty in
stars and stripes, while Jacob Drew was
not behind in eye-pleasing festivities.
The two barber-shops had an eagle
feather in their respective caps. Eu-
gene Hyde's patriotic soul caught pow
der flashes from by-gone days that re-
vealed itself in glowing colors at his
opera-house. Anton Schmitt together
with Calls e. McCord, had trailed the
tri-color across the front of their place
of business with good eye to the
beautiful. Miss Barbara Schloesser
brought forward her offering of national
emblems and OFT Stevens flung his heart
into the decorative business with an ar
dor that spoke two or three volumes of
his love for his own beautiful country.
The residence portion of the city being
supposedly outside the reach of the in
fluences of the reunion, was little
touched with patriotic fire, at least out
wardly, although from the reception ac-
corded The boys it was evident there
was no lack of patriotic warmth about
the heart. The residence OF Mr. f. NJ
Lowry however was very handsomely
and tastefully decorated with national
eolors This completes the list OF deco
rations SO far as any studied attempt
went.

They are Waking

Nothing is more plainly apparent at this
time in live stock circles than that there is
general awakening all along the line
among the owners of those timetried and
oid-reliable cattle the Short-horns. Indi-
cations of this were shown at the fine at
tendance at the Topeka Convention week
before last, and further testimony of the
strongest king is given by the Iowa breed
ers in offering to duplicate any money won
at the next Chicago Fat Stock Show by
cattle from their state. Some good ami
mails are being imported and better ones
are being bred; the tendency every day
grows stronger to have them judged on
their individual merits and for what they
really are rather than on some merit a re-
mote ancestor is alleged to have had. No
one need fear the Short-horns will not hold
their own if permitted to do so. and the
men who are determined they shall stand
on their conceded neritsand genuine worth
are steadily widening the circles Of their
inflnencc.-k. C.>f;Idicator.

Ex-Governor St. John had pretty good time

Ex-Governor St John had pretty good time
IN Boston on the I'D of February. He was ac-
corueo sort of temperance ovation and made
a speech-the same old speech he has so often
made In Kansas; so often, in fact that il finally
soured on the public stomach, and it and its au-
thor were summurily elected. The Governor
got on one good thing, however, which is wor-
tny OF note, viz: that prohibition is a success
In the penitentiaries. There is surely some
comfort to prohibitionists here, and then again
II offers possible solution of this social prob
lem. Since prohibition can be strictly enforced
In penitentiaries but no where else, it would
seem to be natural to conclude that If we would
out abolish our system of laws and adopt a PEN
itentiary regime for the government of the
country, success is assured.
Inc Governor reiterated the declaration, so
often made by him, that the prohibitory law
was as well obeyed and enforced as any other
penal law Itseems simply impossible that any
man could become the victim of such q delus-
Ion who retained his senses.-Junction City Tn

inc Department of Agriculture has issued its
otncial estimate Of the corn crop of 1852, which
gives the aggregate for the United States at
bushels, against ,l94 9l6 600 for 1881.
and l'l1'454, 500 for 1850. The leading corn-pro-
ducing states, by this estimate, are, Illinois,
lS''SS6sOO; Iowa, 17s, ,4s7 600; Missouri I74OS7.-
OOO; Kansas, $50, ,4526 6OO Indiana, lO7, 7,4S4, 800;
Nebraska, s., 200-these six states thus being
estimated to produce $50, ,O76 600 bushels, or con-
siderable more than half the total product of
the country. In marked contrast is the fact
that the product of the six New England states
Is placed ut 6,316,3OO bushels-less than the pro-
duct OF some counties in some of the states
mentioned.
