Notes Of the Fair.

Nh. Chas. Nlntermute is deaarYin g
of the thanks of the county for the
active part he took in the fair. TO
him, more than any one else, is due
the success OF the same.
Secretary Wheaton worked lard to
make tue fair interesting and prof
table.
As superintendent Of fairs MI. G.
p. Maginnis~ equals Bib King.
Messrs. L. 4. store and J. d.
Good exhibited stoves and furniture
ut the exposition building.
Mi. G. Kohlcr exhibited some fine
harness and robes.
Messrs. Uelgcson & uanson's as
sortment of boots and shoes was one
of the finest exhibits il the rink the
18th inst.
Mr.. Danielsou's exhibit Of ladies'
cloaks was something to be remem-
bered. One would scarcely expect to
see 50 many Of such u fine quality in
q village.
Mr.. II. y. Wolff exhibited a gener-
al assortment OF dry goods and cloth
ing hard to beat in any city.
Mr.. Chas. Cronqoist was first OH the
ground last thursday; his goods ere
neatly and Hastily exhibited.
The ladies ut the fair pronounced
Miss Emma Steadman's Gil painting
very nice.
Among the exhibits at the fair was
some very fancy needle work by Miss
/ Huseyold., Of Framness.
The vegetable display of the fair
was rather small, which goes to
show that had the farmers been mott
| fed through TIE Sun there would
have been more general attendance.
Mr.. Chas. p Maginnis acted as
general superintendent Of the
County Fair IN the place of d.
| W. Watson, absent.
Mr.. Brown belongs to the Morris
team out of 10 is good.

Shortly after dark on Monday even
ing some dry good boxes were dis
covered on fire, which it was evident
had been set BIZ some person. d Nc
Crary, with whom, just little while
previous to the discovery Of the fire
Albert Wunsch had some trouble in
the saloon, wasarrested on suspicion.
His preliminary hearing took place
Yesterday, and he was bound over to
the grand jury under $1,000 bonds.
When last in the saloon the man ar
rested was very drunk, and if it was
he who set the match, which is q
question solely for the jury, and not
for us to speculate upon, it was very
probable that it was the act of a man
stepped in drink and not morally ac-
countable for what he was doing.
For il is not reasonable to presume
for an instant that q man connected
with highly respectable family, as
lie is, were helm condition to cast
q single sober thought, would jeopar-
die his liberty and reputation by the
commission of such rash deed.

see that st. Paul has another ar
ticle in your paper in when lie
entirely ignores the subject
Of the management Of the school;
the subject for which he let
himself out SO heavily Oh the start.
and he only makes an assertion or two:
and also shows that having been COM
pared to the peerless Donnelly'' it
makes him greater than he was be-
fore, and he even says, speaking of
Patron-''I will remember this com
parison and his reward shall be great.
He didn't say where, or at what
time he will distribute his awards
but it must be in the future world as
he has none to distribute here. lie
pretends to make a quotation from
Patrons letter but as there is nothing
in it that would Justify being called Il
quotation l will say nothing about it.
st Paul says Patron asked pardon of
Prof. Miles, he knows that is not so
and any person reading Patrons
article knows that there is nothing

Ills ''whispering" charge of news to
me, | was familiar with ere he was,

to. There is Misunderstanding to
say the least between some Of the
school board and the reporter, but
| laying aside everything that has
| been said or done recently, we based
our charge on what has been done
before, and what has been practiccd
by the Independent school board
since they came into powers and that
is in accord with my previous letter,
and all that | said in that letter
| stands uncontradicted i'll the least.
st. Paul's feelings upon being COM
pared to the aPeerless Donnelly'
lifts him almost from earth again,
and j fear he won't stay with us long.
But how is it with the s.Peerless Dom

tempts to make some cutting re-
marks so as to get people interested
outside of the issue, and what .ridi-

of It's own weight, and it calls for no
comment from me whatever.

A Calculation About Ballots.

Here are facts and figures not usually ap-
pended to election returns. The history of
past elections teaches that this vote of the
nation advances from President to President
by steps measured in numbers by 10 per
cent. The total vote of 1868 was 5, 724 ,654 :;
of 1872. was 6,465, S05: of 1876, was 8,412.-
1873 of 1880, was 9,2iO,97O. Add 10 per
cent to this last total. and the estimate for
the vote going into the ballot boxes to-day
will be 1881, 067, an approximation borne
out by other calculations and which will be
found not far out of the result. ballot is
piece of paper averaging four inches wide
and ten and half long. One hundred and
fifty ballots will weigh about pound. Two
hundred and fifty ballots laid on each other
will measure about an. inch. To prepare
these bits of paper at reasonable profit costs
90 cents a thousand. If the ballots cast
to-day were placed end to end they would
reach in continuous line from Washington,
ID. c., to FL Paso, in Texas, or they would
stretch from Eastport Me-, to New Orleans,
as the crow flies. If one end of the long
line of paper were made fast at Cape Flattery
the extreme northwestern promontory of
Washington Territory, the other end would
pass Kansas City, with enough miles to spare
to reach Sedalia.
This has to do only with the ballots actu-
ally v0teu. Inc numoer or DailOts printed,
of course, is tremendously larger than the
amount voted. In st. Louis, for instance,
the democrats have had 900, the other
parties in all 100000, making for this one
town a total of 100000. 1t is generally ad-
mitted, however, that the vote of st. Louis
will not, at the outside. make more than So
600. Here, then, is a surplus of twenty-six
ballots for each one cast. This makes the
total of ballots offered to the people through
out America at this election 100000, 900. 1t
would require eighty-tive freight cars to NOV e
this load paper, whose weight is l.7l6,000
pounds. The white paper and the printing of
the mass has cost 1924 900. Pasted end to
to end there would be paper enough to go en-
tirelv around the globe. leaving $4,000 miles
to spare for a gigantic double bow-knot, which
would cover the greater part of the two
Americas. or if one preferred to keep the
string in the United States there would he
miles enough to wrap the streamer thirty
nine times arouud the State of Missouri and
still leave enough over to reach from the
Post-Dispatch Building to Governor Cleve-
lands private office in the State House at
Albany Louis Post Despatch.
