TIE FAILURE to mention that Townsend
Bros. made a'large exhibition of Agricul-
tural Machinery at our Fair was no fault
OF ours. We took our information from
the books. and they had made no entries
and Of course their names did not appear.
We learn they had % articles on exhibi-
tion. We had very little personal knowl-
edge Of the Fair, being unable to spend
more than two hours on the ground. We
made no pretension to doing justice to ex-
hibitors. We give what information we
can gather In the time we have to spare,
leaving to the publications Of the premium
list full account of the exhibitions made.

We do not know how the people who
went for entertainment were suited, cx

plause. but it is fair to say that those who
attended as a matter of business, found q
much better performance than they ex-
pected. Jesse James, though dead, will
live long in the annals of crimes, and the
anxiety to see him in mimic shape is only
another evidence of a species of hero
workship which has been developed in
this country of late years. The per.

the second, the plains of Kansas; the
third, horse race; the fourth, the lair OF

THE DEATH REAPER.
Minnie, the Youngest Daughter Of DR..
J.W. Cowden, Summoned
from Earth.

Sad, indeed. were the hearts OF many In
Rock Island this morning, when the dis-
tressing news was received that Miss MIN
ME Cowden had been called to life ever
lasting. Although the telltale disease,
consumption, had secured firm hold on
her system, it was not expected that she
would so soon be compelled to yield to the
dreadful monster. Up to within . few
days ago, she had been able to walk
around the house; and there was no
change for the worse noticeable until
Sunday, when it was found necessary TO
assist her for the first time From that
time on she sank rapidly, until eight
o'clock this morning, when her eyes closed
in the sleep of death, and her soul was
waited to the heavenly realms.
The deceased was the youngest daugh-
ter of Dr. J. W. Cowden, and was highly
esteemed by all her associates. One year
ago last spring she graduated from the
high school, and in the following autumn
left for Oberlin, Ohio, to attend the
college at that place. There she con
tracted the fatal decease that led to her
death this morning. She was brought
home from 0berlin, and as her health was
still on the decline, her father took her to
Florada to spend last winter, in the hopes
that the balmy atmosphere would be
beneficial to her But fate decreed that
she should be cut down while in the spring
time of her existence, and the attention
and care that was layished on her, was OF
no avail
Besides loving and indulgent father,
two sisters remain to mourn her loss
The funeral will occur from the residence
TIA Twentieth street, Thursday morning
at 10 O'Clock.

plish his object. the horses made sudden
cap and started down First avenue Mr..
Normoyle held on to the lines. and was
dragged some distance. The horses fin
ally got away from him and dashed down
the street. 1t was found that the man
was severely hurt, as he lay on the ground.
unable to move, and apparently suffering
great pain. He was carried into the
saloon of Mrs. Furlong. land Drs. Eys-
ter and Carter summoned, who made all
possible haste to the spot. Mrs. Nor
moyIe, the wife of the injured man, who
was doing some trading at HOffmaster's,
was appraised of the occurrence, and was
present at the examination made BY the
physicians.
An ugly cash on one of his cheeks bled
prcfusely, but the great pain was cen
tered in his right hip. which appeared to
be dislOcated or some small bones broken.
The physicians found that it would be
necessary to give him chloroform. before
an examination could be made.

The Stars did not play second game
at Dubuque after all, although dispatch
was received here yesterday afternoon
purporting to be from Manager johnson,
to the effect that such game had taken
place. The facts arc that the Dubuque
club refused to play a second game with
the Stars, thus going back on their agree
ment entirely. They even went so far as
to hiss the boys after their defeat and
fatty refused to play another game, and
acted in the most ungentlemanly way
imaginable. They knew we'll enough
that the Stars would have beaten them il
they had agreed to play again, and they
evidently thought they would stop while
their record was good. If the Stars had
known beforehand that a second game
could not be secured, the score would
have stood different than it did.
