The Platteville Witness of Thurs
day last says:
We publish this week the very liberal premium
list of the Annual fair of the Southwestern In
dustral Association to be held at Mineral Point,
sept. ,, 3, and 9Th. The officers of the Associa-
ton have always manifested a great deal of
energy in arranging for their exhibitions and as
"A result they always have tirst-class shows and
the biggest kind of crowds. Read the list and
take something 10 the fair
The fifteenth annual fair of the
S. w. Wis, l. A. will be held in
this city, commencing oAe week
from Tuesday next. The following
from the Evening Wisconsin, in re-
gard to fairs in general may specially
be applied to our coming fair.
The county fairs and agricultural exhibitions
not especially limited to counties. which will
be held in Wisconsin this fall will be greater in
number than ever before, and promise to be
exceptionally popular and interesting. Besides
forty six county fairs there will be one state
fair, seven special fairs, and Milwaukee'S EN-
position, which will surpass all previous eXhi-
bltlons, aud prove the most notable of the year.
The abundant crops of the season will furnish
the best specimens of Observation-Disclosures, aud
draw the attention of the prblic in more
marked degree than usual To tie farmers occu-
pation-the most important in which men engage.
There has never been year III which grain,
vege abe; and fruits were better developed in
Wisconsin than In 1884; and the fairs at which
the best products are exhibited will be well sup
piled. As result several county fairs which
have sometimes languished because of the lack
of interesting exhibits, and consequent APATHY
among exhibitors will take new lease of life
and energy,
These fairs serve the best purpose. They pro-
vide holiday for the farmers who seldom have
days oil" as indeed do all classes of American.
They afford an opportunity for farmers to eX-
change ideas concerning their occupation, and
thus lead to a comparison of methods They
furnish, also. standards of excellence in all de-
partments OF their business and awaken a spirit
of emulation. Above all, they conduce to socia-
bility and provide needed release from every
day employment and environment.
SPECIAL RACES.
The following races have been
added to the programme of the S.
W. Wis. l. A.:
Trotting Race for StalliOns-Purse $1,000; first

Tossing for q Verdict,

A Cincinnati special SAYS: The action Of
4 Police-COurt jury recently Is in striking
contrast with the HOflman-murder-ca.c
Jury. In the latter case the Jury, immc-
diatey after retiring, prayed guidance nom
above. and In few hours returned YER
diet Of guilty OF murder in the first de-
gree. The Police-Court jury was hearing
the case OF Carl SchmelZ, = German, who
runs clearinghouse and grog-shop in
the West End. He was charged with keep-
ing a disorderly house. The testimony aud
arguments bad been concluded. the judge
delivered his charge, and at G O'Clock p. NJ.
on Tuesday evening the jury retired to the
judges Office.
A verdict was expected IN less than half
an hour and no sleeping accommodations
were provided. But the jury still remained
in the room, aud after waiting awhile court
was adjourned and the iurymen locked in
for the night. The next morning, after
court was opened, the foreman sent in
word that II was impossible TO come TO an
agreement. Judge Fitzgerald somewhat
sharply informed the foreman that ver-
dict must be had. and no more was heard
from the jury. Wednesday evening came,
but no verdict WAS reached.
The Judge transferred the jury into =
committee-room in the city building over
looking the city park, ordered cots to be
provided, and locked the jury In for another
night. Two officers were placed on duty
outside the building, and they aver that on
Wednesday night they heard the loud
voices Of the debating iurymen. and finally
they learned that the vote stood eleven for
conviction to one for acquittal.
Presently the obstinate ons, $ little TAT
fellow, exclaimed:
IL will not give in. tell you, and |
won't stay here boiling in this hot hole an
other night either"
The other eleven gave no signs Of weak
ening, and all was still for while. Thon
the Fat man said:
"Fll tell YOU how well Tx it, Here s
a dollar which will toss up. II win.
you eleven will vote for acquttal, and II
lose will join you.r
This seemed to be satisfactory, and the
jingling OF the coin was heard on the out
side by the Mortified guards. From tho
confused hubbub that followed II was in
ferred that the eleven men had lost, but
there seemed TO be one who would not
keep bis word, and this. Of course. left
matters still In doubt. From eleven to one
in favor OF conviction the vote had changed.
on the turn OF a coin, to eleven TO one in
favor OF scquittsl. but one mans conscience
tortured him, and late on "Wednesday
night all agreed TO go TO sleep.
Thursday morning sealed verdict was
handed to the Judge. who was highly graft
fed to see that his little plan had brought
the Jury 70 their senses, but his face looked
crestfalen when the clerk announced the
verdict "not gHilty." The jurymen were
discharged. II Is said that the Judge has
not herd Of the tossing-up episode, and
o. yet there have been no arrests for per-
Jury.

A Nyack special says: Jessie sherwood,
young lady OF responsibility. twenty-three
years old, has disappeared strangely from
her home IN West Nyscs, and fears are en-.
tertained that she has been abducted and
perhsps murdered. She IL tall aud young
looking. not appearing 10 be more than
sixteen or seventeen years OF age, and re.
narksbly innocent and simple in her
manner. Her mother is married to
her second husband, Henry Ennis,
who was soldier in the late war,
a. was also Mr.. sherwood. the girls
father. On Monday u circus exhibited
here. bringing with them pretty hard
looking crowd. In the afternoon Jessie
sherwood was accompanied to the circus
by her folks aud appeared captyated with
the show. She Is, II Is said, not perfectly
sound IN her mind, and is easily carried
away by excitement. In the evening she
acted rather strangely At home. and At late
hour, when she had retired, vague fear led
her parents 10 fasten the outside OF her
door securely. Yesterday morning when
she Was called she did not respond, and soon
after when her mother went up stairs
TO her room she found 10 her aston,shmcnt
that her daughter was gone. A hasty ex-
animation showed that she bad made her
exit out OF her window, having broken the
screens and got down 10 the ground In some
way. whether she didit alone or was as
sisted by somebody on the outside Is not
known. Mrs.. Ennis at once notified the
folks Of what had happened and yigIlant
search was instituted. Yesterday aud TO-
day nearly the entire country has been
visited, aud no trace OF the missing girl
can be found. II j. feared that she
has been led away, In her weakness OF
mind, either by one Of the circus dtiachts
or one OF the hangers-on that generally
follow the travelling companies around,
and has met with terrible fate-perhaps
been murdered. Her parents and friends
are very soryowfui over the matter, and
strong efforts are being made 70 ind out
II least some trace Of her. Her reputation
was always good and she has always lived
