which the town stands formerly belonged
to the Hon. Lewis Maxwell, uncle Of the
next Governor Of West Virginia. After
laying o.F the streets, &c, the old ccntlc-
man, puzzled for q name tor his new town,
was prevailed upon to call it by its present
being his mothers given

own surname. This was over forty wears
ago, and the name "Janc Lew" is as firmly
fixed now MS is that Of Weston, our county

Nnat the Fairs Developed.

Tothe Editor of the st. Paul Globe:
a glance at the exhibits shown at the late Min
neapolis and state fairs, the latter at Owatonna,
Steele county, may furnish material for live
stock and agricultural improvement. We no.
tced at Minneapolis large numbers of the
heavier breeds of horses than ever before, per-
haps, some pure bred, others good grades
Norman-Percheon, Clydes, etc. We prefer the
latter Of good brown or bay color, and not much
marked with white-like the good Queens Own.
We were led to think, may not the production Of
heavy draught horses be overdone in as new a
country this? Only in larger cities, mayhap,
the heaviest horses-say above 1900 or 1,600
pounds-reqUired, like Pittsburg, Pa, where
heavy machinery, ETC., and in Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, where locomotives, hogsheads
of molasses in large numbers, etc., are required
moved and sometimes long distances. At least
the inquiry is pertinent, and we think the rails
ing of horses of from 1900 to 400 pounds will
find more and larger re ady remuneration than
those of heavier weights.
We may mention en- PEASANT that Isaac Staples,
Saltwater, has two good draught stations as
any one need see, and we look for fine of
horses to be produced from the services of these
horses. One is five years old, imported Thy Mr.
S. himself), Clyde, solid bay, grand Clydes-
dale, the other a brown gray ~ He bought him
in Chicago. Our fellow citizen, james j. Hill
will have done greatly and very literally toward
improving the cattle of the great northwest, by
his generous and expensive importatons and
distributions Of pure. richly bred short horns,
(durhams), Polled Angus Aberdeenshire bulls
and heifers, and the nice breeds of sheep, we all
are glad to thank him for. The breeding of beef
cattle in Montana, ETC.. may be overdone ere
very long, we are led to think, and perhaps
there horse may be raised as cheaply as a steer
and should bring twice the price of the latter.
tt is very much to be regretted that the pleuro
pneumonia is causing great destruction of
Jersey (Alderney) cattle in Illinois. We hope
the measures being taken by the authorities,
United States and state, may prove effectual in
Graduating the disease at early day.
At both fairs some good specimens of
Holsten (Dutch) cows and bulls; but those at
Owatonna owned in this state showed not well
enough fed-a serious mistake always. One pen
OF sheep noticably there we were highly pleased
with, as also a lot OF swine in the latter Berk-
shire, Poland China and red hogs were well
represented.
At Minneapolis we saw one very large, heavy
bull OF the Holstein breed that we esteemed a
noble specimen. Turkeys, geese, ducks and
more useful than all Others hens in great variety
OF breeds. Surely tins state should become
even richer in animal wealth than was famed
Ohio.

The chance for these two stations to come to-
gether is not favorable at the present time
Last week we gave the situation of affairs be-
tween these two animals, the challenges and
counter challenges which indicated that there
was but little chance for a race between them
During the past week Mr.. Crawford sent to the
Turf, Fietd and Farm a statement that Mr.
Chase would match Phallas against Maxey Cobb
,or two races Of mile and two mile heats for
g., 500 or $1,000 side Mr.. Cohnfed, the owner
of Maxey Cobb, was shown the communication
and declined the two mile heat proposition, but
agreed TO race mile heats. Mr.. Crawford then
proposed that they have race Of one mile heats
at Cleveland and consented TO second race ut
Hartford or Providence. Mr.. Cohnfeld then
gave his ultimatum, which was one race at Hart
ford or Providence October s, for 81, 500 q side
and divide the gate money. This proposition
was declined. Subsequently the Cleveland Driv-
ing park offered to give the winner 80 per cent
of the gate receipts and asked to have the race
take place on the Cleveland track. Up TO the
present time no reply has been made to this
proposition, but judging from what Mr. Cohnfeid
has said heretofore he will not accept it.

GOSPEL TEMPERANCE UNION.
A Business Meeting Held Yesterday to
Perfect an Organization.

The Gospel Temperance union held business
meeting yesterday afternoon at O'Clock, at the
jackson street N. E. church, about 200 persons
being in attendance. Hon. j. B. Brisbin, presi-
dent OF the union, was in the chair, and opened
the meeting by calling on Dr. Dana for prayer.
Upon motion Messrs. Gibson, Thorpe and Ladd
were appointed committee TO draft Q set of by
laws for the guidance Of the organization, and
while they were celebrating DR.. Dana took
casion to say that he was heartily in sympathy
with the body in the work it had before it. He
said it could not be too patient too persistent
in the labor of perfecting a system which would
produce the greatest amount Of good, and that
the union would be but small and feeble insti-
tuition without thorough organization and earnest
labor on the part of its members. Mr. Brisbin
followed by reading piece of poetry entitled,
''There's Danger from Atlanta, Ca, paper,
the sentiment Of which, he endorsed, without
endorsing the poetry as poetry. DIR. Mar
shall said something should be
/ done to give the union permanency OF ex-
sstence. without constant attention by all its
officers it would grow smaller by degrees and
finally perish. The meetings should be held in
/ a hall which should be especially set apart for
/ the use OF the union, where the members might
gather during the week and read the papers, hear
good music and enter into social converse, and
where entertainments might be occasionally
given at which our wives, mothers and sisters
could be present. Young men go the saloons,
not much for the rum that is sold there, as
I for the social atmosphere which is there present.
! Something must be done to counteract this drift
TO the grog shops by afording our young men
some other social attraction.
The committee then returned and reported q
/ set OF by Flaws Some discussion ensued as to the
/ frequency, hour and place of meetings, which
was finally disposed OF by making them weekly
on Sunday afternoon at O'Clock in 4 hall to be
provided by the organization, and the bylaws as
a whole adopted
/ Aessrs. Thos. Cochran, j. II. Thorpe and Mrs.
Bnrchard were appointed committee to select a
hall for the meetings and report on Sunday after
noon, at the Jackson Street ". E. church. where
! the next meeting will be held.
After an announcement by the president that
/ Rev. ". W. Satterlee, OF Minneapolis. would

I the meeting adjourned.

TAX PAYERS MEETING.
a General Kick Over the Assess
ment for Grading Winifred
Street.

The following call was publishedin Friday g
GLOBE:
| The tax payers of the Sixth ward and those in
terested outside of Winifred street will hold a
meeting at Rebholzs hall, Dakota avenue, on
| Sunday afternoon, Sept. 2Sth. 1884, at p. m.
All those that are ready to have justice done
| them are requested to come prepared financially.
In accordance with the call quite large audi
ence gathered, The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
Mr.. Peters was asked by Mr.. Southwark how
it was that Mr.. Dawson was rebated $50 on each
lot for assessment. Mr.. Peters did not answer.
MIR. Meyer, who owned property on Winifred
street, objected to anybody paying or helping to
pay for his assessment. He would pay for his
own and have others do the same.
Alderman st. Peter rose in vindicaton of his
actions. He stated that q majority of the prop
erty holders on Winifred street asked to have it
graded, but with the outside assessment he had
nothing TO do, and was in sympathy with those
on the outside who were assessed.
Nels j. Ness stated that he had expended over
$500 for the drainage of his block, and that he
was taking out stone which might in short
time make him even.
Mr.. Peters stated that Mr. Ness had left
a hole twenty feet deep which INSTRUCTED
the street. and that was why he was assessed.
Chas. Butcher said that he was in no hole, but
was on as good graded streets as were on the
West side, and wanted to know why he was as
sessed.
1t was moved and seconded that all property
owners outside of Winifred street, who have
| been assessed for other peoples property, and
who have not contributed to the fund to fight it
in the courts, be requested to come forward and
sign their names and assert their willingness to
stand their share of the expenses. Carried.
1t resolved that the member Of
| the Legislature, to be elected, should be in
structed to work for the passage of law for the
election of members of the board of public works
and city engineer by direct vote of the people.
Mr.. j. w. Iverson came as a representative OF
the ''plat"t endorse the action the meeting, and
suggested that instead OF asking that the board
of public works and city engineer, who were only
tools of capitalists, be elected by the people,
they be abolished altogether.
TWAS resolved that mass meeting OF the citi-
zens of St. Paul be called to lay plans for the
election of legislators to secure a law
abolishing the board of public works and the
| Office of city engineer, and that the board of
| aldermen be authorized and suitably compen-
stated for properly doing what the board of public
works are now expected to do.
Mr.. Peters admitted there was no petition Of
the property owners along WinIfred street to
have that street graded, but he took the word of
a few who owned considerable property on the
street that it was necessary.
The mass meeting was called for next Sunday
at O'Clock p. m.
