THE Second Annual Territorial Fair
will be held on the fair grounds at Huron
Sept. 9Th to 10th, and promises at this
time to be decided success. The repu-
tatlon of the Board of Agriculture for
working up and conducting successful
exhibits is we'll known and need but to
be mentioned here. The committee has
succeeded in arranging this year, most
satisfactory and applicable premium list.
The list consists of ISL classes. In the
speed department the purses are liberal,
but in addition to the usual trotting and
running is added the exciting chariot
races, and ladies' equestrienne race OF five
miles. To this programme the society
adds $l25 for base ball match.
The railroad rates and facilities are far
better than last season. Free trsnsporta-
ton is given for stock and exhibits, and
the special cheap passenger rate of half
fare to and from the fair has been given
by the railroads. w. F. Bushnell is Sec
retary.

THE county comm isslcners of Barnes

torneys fees IN getting q verdict against
Pease's bondsmen. They could have set
tied for 900 and still let everybody
live. Now they have judgment and
Uncle John Russell Is left alone out of
the large number of bondsmen, to hold
the sack for twenty-five or thirty thou
sand dollars. He has been willing to pay
his proportion, and double it, but could
not get the commissioners to agree. Mr..
Russell IS one of the shrewdest, kindest
hearted and best men Dakota has for en-
terprise, and man of strict personal
honor. He is getting along in years,
and after bringing capital to Valley City
and building up the enterprises of Barnes
county, 1t hardly seems the wisest thing
for the commiss toner's to squelch him at
one blow if they have the power.

In Grand Forks the city council is de-
batting whether they had better not re-
qulre Coles circus to pay for two llcenses
instead of one, because the circus has q
"wild west" attraction gwen in side
tent and all for the same price Of admls-
sion. Seeing that Coles big show will be
a charitable advent to many here this
sc ason, leaving dollars where they carry
off cents, this whole hoggish business at
Grand Forks IS what this city council
decently declined to emulate and we're
abused there for quite roundly. Still
the aldermen must have care IN what
they do now days, for the optic of the
evening reformer is "sot" straight upon
them, and it is "Plcdged but t. Justice,
Liberty and Law" with big J and two
big LIS.

THE editor of the Capital IS consistent
in one thing anyhow-that of regularly
drawing his salary. For the past four or
five years he has vocifer"usly shouted and
upheld republican methods on another
paper, but now the other side pay the
bill and his old teachings are flung aside,
and condemned as easily as the new bus
mess is assumed. This is precarious
Jack-o lantern existence, and leaves a
strong lmpr ession ofinsincerity wherever
it is known. Readers have no faith in
the paper printing such mass of shift
Ing and fluctuatlng opinions.

beaten trappings or equipment as notice
able in everything connected with the
property. Once under the big tents its
real attractions become apparent. They
are many and unusual. The menagerie
is exceedingly good, and contains several
animals not frequently seen outside Of
city parks. A large white polar bear
dashed cold water over his dingy exterior
and painted for the old play ground, no
doubt, on some arctic iceberg or Green
land snow slide, where he used to tobog-
gan moonlight nights. A big florld-com-
plectioned hlppopotamus frequently
opened his ponderous nav for inspec-
ton, and bushei Of carrots. A two
horned rhlnoceros wickedly eyed his
visitors, and abrsided the horns of his
tusks against the iron cage continuously
in his sullen humor. Samson, the mighty
elephant, was cross, and Mr.. Conklln, the
keeper, had a wary eye out for any unu-
sual display Of temper. Last week at
Emerson, in Manitoba, he demolished the
press tent and few sheds, soaring every
body fr,ghtfully. A number of years ago,
in New York, while being exhibited in
the ring, he broke from the herd and
dashed through the canvas, seats, people
and all, luckily hurting nobody. The
attendants can tell three or four days
ahead when his temper fits are coming on,
and accordingly watch him and his move
ments very closely. The other trained
elephants were quiet and peaceable
enough, being engaged only with the flies
and stowlng away good hay, sweet hay
which to an elephant, like T;tanla's mule,
hath no fellow. The two-headed COW is
more of a monstrosity than anything yet
seen IN museums on the road. She is an
ordinary COW with an uncomfortable
amount of head, with one mouth of which
she can drink.
The circus department contained some
excellent attractions in the athletic line,
