The Dairy Department..

Yesterday was rainy. damp, disagree
able, dirty. dismal, dull day on the outside,
bnt in the dairy department, there was more
cheer and good nature than one would ex-
pect to find under such circumstances. The
interior Of the refrigerator is full of butter
in tubs. rolls, prints, bricks, boxes, etc.,
while of the ornamental display, nearly all
varieties of flowers are represented, from
the delicate little violet to the gaudy sun
flower. Then too, some enterprising ex-
hibitor has made a lot Of sheep, pigs, ears
of corn, chickens, ducks, geese, grapes, ap-
pies and other articles out of butter The
ornamental display is certainly the largest
ever made in the state. But, while the
weather is against US, and we cannot float
around the grounds, let us sit down by the
fire and talk about
BREEDS FOR THE DAIRY.
At the dairy convention the question is
frequently asked, which is the best breed of
cows for dairy purposes? and the answer
often depends upon who answers the ques-
ton as to what breed viii be given the

Cattle CoIng. SLOWLY.

WASHINGTON, Sept s.-Indian Com
missioner Atkins has received a telegram
from Capt. Lee, agent at the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indian reservation, in which
he states that up to the present time 60, 600
have been driven off the reservation. About
$4,000 yet remain, but they are all moving
out, with single exception, where the
owner has not yet been able to secure an
other ranch. The agent believes that this
individual means to leave, but says that if
his sincerity is doubted his stock will be
removed by the government altogether.
Commissioner Atkins says he is satisfied
with the condition of affairs on the reserva-
tinn.

satisfaction of everybody on that element.
1t is said in spirit of the utmost kind
ness to everybody that the rush
THROUGH THE TURNsTMEs
at the station was about up to their capac-
lty, and those arrangements are admirably
fitted to a rainy day audience. Those
turnstileS are no better than a three-minute
class, and if there ever comes a bright day
something will have to be done to lower
their record, or the entrance money will
have to be refunded to several thousand
people who get distanced. 1t takes
about a half a minute for one
person to get through at the present rate.

awakened every time a train comes in.
They are all right and do as we'll as thew
can, but they can't-thats why the people
kick.
Minneapolis day, which was to have been
to-day, has been slid over until tomorrow,
and the program which for some reason or
other did not come off yesterday is an
nounced for to-day, if it doesn't rain.
MAY BE CONTINUED.
It has been settled by the management
that one day more of rain will throw the
exhibition into next week. In answer to a

silvor certificates Cancelled.

WASHINGTON, Sept. SIT is stated at
the treasury department that the only sig
nifcance of the recent cancellation of silver
certificates to the amount of about SIS. OO0,-
600 lies in the fact, as shown by experience,
that the certificates of large denomination
are practically worthless as circulating
medium. The notes destroyed were $500
and $1,000 certificates, and it is proposed,
in case they shall be required, to replace
them with SO, $50, $50 and 500 certifi-
Gates, as the latter are much better adapted
for general circulation.

general turn of affairs.

and a hundred lightly built booths, filled
with ordinary periShable grub, designed for
fair weather. lay in beautiful confusion
where the loud-mouthed huckster had rent
the air with his clarion tones. The booths
were mostly all built for fair weather, and
the rain went through them like d
thousand of brick through a scuttle;
making in some eases q grand hash of the
goods within. And still nearly every one
of the owners took it very good naturedly,
and there few threats of violence.
1t was almost impossible to get from one
end OF the grounds to the other, if any one
had any respect for their lower limbs, the
mud was so deep in spots. 1t is the same
old black variety of mud that has annoyed
people before on similar occa
SionS. 1t was very muddy mud.
There was just wind enough to
make getting wet preferable to fooling with
umbrellas, and such as were obliged to be
out took the former alternative. Among the
number were several women who had work
among the exhibits. 1t was very trying to
them to have to wade through the mud and
water, which was so deep, but they needn't
be annoyed in the slightest for
there were very few men folks
around. Two or three of the tents went
down, and there was considerable depth
of water within the others, but any little
thing like that don't cut much of a figure at
big state fair.
There We're many reasons assessed for the
general flood that prevailed. Some said
that Bill King did it to knock the whole
thing in the head and give him better
show next year. Others said it came
from the fact that signal office
had been located then and that all such un-
necessary fooling with the elements might
have been expected would bring ON a

minneapolis Day Thursday.

President Clarke, Secretary Judson, F.
G. Pillsbury, j. c. Oswald and one or two
others interested held meeting yesterday
afternoon and discussed the course to
be taken to-day and tomorrow,
in view of the rain which had
caused break in the program. 1t was
decided to count on fair weather to-day, and
to simply set the program along for one
day, Minneapolis day, will consequently be
tomorrow with the special races which had
been announced for to-day. The program
of yesterday will be carried out to-day if
the weather permits. If the rain continues
the management are inclined to favor an
extension of the exhibition for two or three
days next week.

In Potter county the equalizing board
discovered that real estate which is largely
held by non-residents, was assessed 80 per
cent. too low, and personal property 10 per
cent. too high, and equalized accordingly.
1t is believed to be the right thing to make
lands held by spectators contribute literally
to the improvement of the country and
building school houses.

Notes.

1t was reported that j. II. Hanson was
drowned while swimming from the depot to
the amphitheater yesterday. Secretary
Judson, on hearing the sad intelligence,
wrestled with the telephone for fifteen
minutes trying to order a bushel of Grape
wherewith to drape the flags. Before he
could deliver the message, however, the
dead man turned up. He had sunk twice,
but was gallantly rescued by Officer Sweit-
zer of st. Paul, who bravely battled with
foaming pillows and saved the drowning
man just in time. Mr.. Hanson is avalu-

Everything was favorable to a successful
day at the fair grounds yesterday, except
the weather, and that played havoc with
the whole The light rain that had begun
the evening before and continued straight
through the night, showed no signs of slack
ing when morning came, and all day it
drizzled steadily. A slight wind added to
the annoyance and the result was absolutely
disastrous. There were some additions to
the exhibit already ON the grounds, but

ventured to the grounds yesterday. There
was variety of sentiment expressed as to
the effect of the rain, even should it clear
to-day, on the fair as whole, and some
who had heard of the decision to continue
1t next week, if it rained to-day, expressed
a belief that it would be the best thing that
could happen if this were the case.

thought it was a hint

TIE EXHIBIT

was in good shape and nearly everything
was put III condition for visitors whenever
they come. The main building leaked
little in spots. and on some of the
elegantly carpeted sections, pans and
pals had TO be placed to prevent ruin.
This building with its elegant displays. and
so lovely, reminded one Of some palace,
whose owners had deserted, and where the
specteS Of old mOnarchs occasionally stalked
forth, though the spectres had too many
umbrellas and rubber coats, and did too
much general swearing at the condition of
things outside, to make the illusion per-
feet. In Machinery hall the noise
OF the twine binder was as
completely and thoroughly hushed
as it is on the Dakota prairie in January,
when the tolls of old winter have tied up
the farming implements and the blizzard
rustles over the plains. The rattle of the
steam thresher was stilled and the rain that
came through the open sides of the build
ing where they were located had everything
its own way. The grand stand was there
doing nothing but getting wet, and no white
man YentlIred to set foot in it during
the long cold day. The track resembled
Il street in Venice, with the gondOlas ali
taken in, and no hoOf dented its slushy sur
face during the day. If it had frozen it
would have made a slick skating course.

The World would be Better for 1t.

If men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battle-felds and glory;
RI writ in human hearts, a name
Seemed better han in song and story;
If men, instead Of nursing pride,
Would learn to hate it and abhor 1t;
If more relied on love to guide
The world would be the better for 1t.
If men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds f~raternal;
If loves work had more willing hands,
To link this world TO the supernatural;
If men stored up loves oil ard wine,
And on bruised human hearts would poui
it;
If "yours" and "mine'' would once COM
bine-
The world would be the better for 1t.
If more would act the play oflifc,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If bigotry would sheathe its knife
Till good became more universal;
If customs, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it,
If talent shone for truth alone
The world would be better for it.
If men were wise in little things
Affecting less in all their dealings
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings,
If men, when wrong beats down the right,
Would strive together and restore 1t;
If right made might in every light
The world would be better for 1t.

A Russian Sect.

The Nest Of the Cody People in the
name of a Russian religious sect that
has come into existence the last fifteen
years at Bender in the government Of
Bessarabia. The name comes from the
fact that the members of this sect, who
are all peasants, dig q grave in the
earthen floor OF their habitations, or
else in their gardens, and lie therein un-
til overcome by hunger, In order, as
they say, to commune with God, to
confess to him their sins, and examine
their past life. To enable them the
better to do this the grave is covered
with a wooden box-like Ind or canopy,
having q door in 1t for ingress and
egress; SO that they lie in a grave as In
a coffin, and were it not for small aper-
lures In the top part OF 1t they would
run the risk OF being sudocated. When
the grave or snestn is in the garden it
is thickly surrounded by bushes for
the sake Of greater privacy, and guard
ed by a v watchdog to prevent GU
rious or impertinent people going near
it. These sectarians pretend that IN their
ecstatic moments, and when snfzeri
extreme hunger, they see saints an
| devils, and some Of them are Asnbjectt
Authorizations. Another peculiarityf
the members of this sect Is that th
hold as little conversation as possi
with other people, or in fact with "a
tther; SO that the kind OF life who
they endeavor to lead is akin to that
&ncloistered monks.

THE change in postal laws which goes
into effect to-day marks another grand
stride in the progress Of the Postollice De-
paitmcnt. There are thousands of resi-
dents Of this city who, in their early life,
paid ten cents postage ON half ounce let
ters-lctters, too, that were written with
pens made from quills plucked from the
old goose in the farm yard, or her progeny,
sealed with wafer, without an envelope,
and carried on horseback or by stage. The
only objection to the federal postal system
is that 1t smacks strongly of the patcrnal,
but the most inveterate hater Of paternal
government would not seriously propose
to do away with the United States mails
In thickly populated sections mail matter
might be carried and delivered more cheaply
by private enterprise than IL is by the gov
eminent at this time, but for long distances
and in sparsely settled regions the rate,
now fixed by law are marvelously low. HC
