The Randolph Fair was grand sue,
cess in every particular except wealth
er. Friday was cold and cloudy, and
prevented the usual large attendance ;
but the bright, clear weather of Satur-
day was all that could be desired. and
the opportunity for display of fuss and
fashion was enormously embraced.
The exhibition of fancy work, fruits
and farm products was especially fine.
The show of cattle: sheep and swine
was equal in numbers and quality to
any ever exhibited at our county fair.
But as we are ardent admirers of the
noble animal, 1.-THE Hoss," our atten-
ton was attracted to that class rather
than to crazy quilts and "baby
blankets" The display of fine hired
horses was grand. 1t would occupy
too much space to notice each in de-
tail.
The Red Card" was awarded to
Mambrino Mohawk as the best horse
for all purposes.
We once entertained the idea that
to obtain perfection in horses, as in all
the animal kingdom, it was necessary
to overcome the faults of the one by
breeding to another, free from that
particular fault, and thus by careful
breeding, perfection could be obtained.
But we are informed that in this age
what we want is pedigree" and
while attending the different fairs we
have seen horses with long pedigrees,
and ia some instances it was the only
redeeming quality. We firmly be-
Iieve that pedigree is one of the requi.
sites to success in breeding fine horses,
yet we cling to the idea that the def
cient points should be carefully stud.

The Horse show.
The beautiful Broncho horses made
their debut to good sized audience al
the Grand Opera House last evening,
prominent citizens and the clergy be.
ing we'll represented, aud judging
from the frequent applause all were
highly pleased. The entertainment
possesses the rare merit of novelty and
originality, and is revocation horse
culture. The horses appear on the
stage untrammeled by harness or trap
ping, answer to their names and obey
by word of command. To GO into
details of this very remarkable enter
tainment would require great deal of
space suffice it to say it is q succession
of grand surprises from first to last.
On witnessing it q person begins to
doubt his senses. Are horses reason
ing beings, as it seemed during q por-
ton of the wonderful exhibition last
night? Having seen exaggerated
show announcements in the past,
people are apt to doubt, but after Wis.,
iting the Bronohos nothing in proof OF
good horse sense will hereafter be dis
puted. They remain the balance of
the week, matinee Wednesday and
Saturday. All should see them.

By reference to the proceedings OF
the Democratic Judicial Convention.
held in this city on Saturday last, 1t
will be seen that Judge A. A. Thayer
was nominated for the long term, and
I II. Siddall, Esq of Ravenna, for
the short term. The fact that the very
high judicial abilities of Judge Thayer
have already been demonstrated on
the bench since his appointment by
Gov. Hoadly, is evidence that he is
the right man in the right place. The
people will make no mistake if they
continue Judge Thayer in the position
he now occupies Mr.. Siddall is the
present Prosecuting Attorney of Por-
tage County,is a first class lawyer and
is a gentleman of ability and standing
in that county. This makes up first
class ticket, and it should now be the
pleasure of the Democracy to give it a
united and hearty support.--GW w. r.

case of the Village of Garrettsville
against Carl Niles, who was arrested
for selling liquor by the gallon in vio-
lation of the prOhibitory ordinance,
tried before Mayor Ashald of that city,
has been decided in favor of the cor

to constitute liquor sellers their agents

be carried to the higher courts.

commenced weeks engagement at
Reeds Opera House Monday evening,
opening with The Orange Girl" The
audience though not large one, was
perhaps as good as could be expected
at the first appearance of company.
Those present were evidently well
pleased with the entertainment. The
orchestra is good one, and their Sc

actors were all good in their parts, and
we have no doubt our people will give
them the support which their per-
formance merits. On Tuesday eve-

Rev. C. A. Stone rendered his resig
nation as pastor of the Congregational
Church of this city. on Sunday morn

as stated by himself, are two, viz: lst,
the ill health of Mrs. Stone, who is
now at San Bernardo, California, the
mild climate of which seems to be es-
sential to the recovery of her shattered
health; %, he has received a call from
the Congregational Church in that
place; also, by request of the donor
making a bequest to found q college
at San Bernardo, he will take charge
of its accomplishment. Mr.. Stones
pastorate, though brief, has endesred
him to the church and his resignation
causes much regret.

Deserted Colorado Towns.

The evidences of decrease in wealth
and population that one meets with in
the mountains are striking. In every
direction the eye rests upon abandoned
ranches and deserted towns. The towns
have Jared worse than the country from
that hegira which followed the collapse
of the mining @boom" of five or six
years ago. Gunnison was then a pros
porous mining camp, full of men and
money, when even ordinary laborers
received 81 and IS for days work.
Now it would serve as a monument to
desertion and decay. ~This will be a
good town yet, mark that; there is plenty
of mineral in these hills, and somebody
will strike it after while, said shop
keeper to me. It was the old story of
hope struggling against despair which is
so characteristic of this mining country.
1 thought the dairyman met gave a
more truthful picture of its future when
he said; @Do you see those fellows going
down to the river? Well, they support
their families by fishing. That's about
all there is to do around Gunnison now,
and when that source Of supply becomes
exhausted. as 1t rapidly is, there won't
be much left" Up near Crested Butte,
where they mine the coal that is most
like the Pennsylvania anthracite, an old
woodchopper said 100 teams used to pass
along the road daily. We camped near
his cabin one day, and counted three
teams passing by.-Cor. New York

Sale of Morphine and Laudanum.

ut may surprise some people to KNOW
said leading druggist to me to-day,
"that it is the practice of respectable
druggists to sell morphine and lau 1anum
to people whom they know to be CON-
firmed opium-eaterS. One reason is that
it would be impossible to keep them from
obtaining these drugs some way or other.
Another is that even if we were able to
shut off their supply, it would simply
kill them. So every druggist has few
customers who he knows are killing
themselves with opium, and with the
very opium which he is selling them.
But these poor creatures are very sensi-
tive about their vice, and never confess
it. They always make some shallow ex-
cuse for buying so much opium, and
even after they become satisfied that we
know what they are doing, they never
concede it in any way. 1t is singular
phenomenon that just as all insane peo-
pie have proclivity to lewdness, 80 all
opium-eaters are liars and thieves. We
have to wait on them, and we treat them
kindly as afflicted people, but we keep
a close watch on them, and never let
them get out of sight, for if we do we
are sure to miss some small article when
they have gone. I can't say that opium
eaters are becoming more numerous in
Chicago, but the reason may be that so
many are now resorting to hypodermic
injections. Chicago Journal.

sSSailddie Morsan's New Home.

Miss Middle Morgan, the well-known
livestock reporter Of The New York
Times, has been engaged for the past
five years in building house, and it is
still unfinished. Miss Morgan is build
ing this house in a beautiful but secluded
part of Staten island. She bought just
enough ground to build the house on,
and seemed to care nothing for anything
more
The house itself is the most hideous
that was ever designed by an architect
or builder. 1t is built of red brick, is
very narrow and has what we are
pleased to call French roof. Miss Nor
gan confesses to being coward at night
time, so she has iron bars at every win
dow in the first story of her house,
which gives it very much the appear
ance of a private insane asylum. The
greater part of the first floor inside is de-
voted to a plunge bath. There is no
staircase, but there is hole in the cell
ing leading to the second story, and
when Miss Morgan retires at night she
runs up ladder, which she pulls up
after her, and closes the trap-door. This
would be very secure place to sleep in
if there were bars at the second story
windows also, but there are not even
shutters. Miss Morgan decided, for rea-
sons of safety, to have no piazza; but
she has what is a piazza in every re-
spect except that it has no boarded floor.
There is a roof running around three
sides of the house, supported by round
iron posts, which an agile burglar can
climb with perfect ease unless Miss
Morgan takes the precaution to grease
them every night.-New York Cor.

Queer California Wells.

AT Oceanside an artesian well was
sunk to depth of about 400 feet. No
rise of water was found, and the water
in the well now is said to be brackish.
At Frazier, little further south, the
well went down all right, and rise of
water was struck at about 300 feet. At
about 400 feet stratum of cement was
encountered, which was fourteen feet
thick. When the tools got through this
stratum they struck hollow or cave
and dropped quite a distance, and the
waters of the we'll rushed down into the
cavern. The bottom of the we'll was
plugged up, and the supply of water now
is mineral, and is being used to cure the
ills that afflict the human family.
At Del Mar, still further south, j. S.
Taylor dug a surface well on the edge of
the bluff, so near the edge that there
was barely room for man to stand be-
tween the well and the jumping off
place, and from this position he could
jump down upon the beach below, a
distance of fifty feet, and yet the well
was only eight feet deep and contained
a good supply of water in the soft sand
stone. Last winter the bluff caved off.
taking with it the side and bottom of
the well, and the other side of the well
is still visible in the side of the bluff.
Another well, some distance back, fur
nishes good water.
At Coravada Beach, at San Diego, a
well has been put down 440 feet, all the
way through sand and quicksand, and
it now has in it 400 feet of salt water

Medical Practice in Russia.

The practice of medicine in Russia is
exceedingly onerous and unremunera-
tive. A physician who fails to respond
to the summons of a patient is punished
by a fine of from to 100 roubles. If
the case was dangerous one, and the
physician knew it, he may be impris-
oned in the Jail for three months. The
legal fee for an ordinary visit is from
Z 1-2 to Is cents; for an ACCOMPLISHMENT,
rs cents. These laws are strictly en-
forced. An elderly German physician,
an invalid, was called, on a stormy win
ter night, to attend case seven miles
distant. He objected to go unless he
was reasonably remuneratsd, naming
his fee. The messenger left to ascertain
whether this amount would be paid, but
did not return. The physician was sub
sequently arrested, tried, and condemned
to eight days imprisonment. Besides,
he had to pay his lawyer $3.50 in ad-
yance.-Science.

A Dispelled Delusiou.

The shining metallic incrustation found
upon the teeth of some Of the cattle
which are pastured along the banks Of
the Carson river has been popularity pro-
nounced to be a coating of gold and sill
yer deposited upon the teeth from the
mineral impregnation of the-water and
grass, attracted through the magnetic
action of the animals body. Some Of
this bullion incrustation or deposit was
submitted recently to Professor F. E.
Fielding, chief assayer at the Consoli-
dated California and Virginia assay Of
flee, in this city. Upon critical analysis
of the material he pronounces it to be
pure calcium of sulphide, with not the
least trace of either gold, silver or quick.
silver. Thus another hopeful delusion is
dispelled, and the contemplated source
of revenue from scraping the animals
teeth periodically rendered useless and
worthless. City Enterprise.

The Dangers Of Dust.

Darkness, damp, and dust are potent
agencies of disease. Everybody recog-
nizes this; but how many fail to adopt
its preceptsl II there be sermons in
stones, surely the summer dust and its
dangers would prove q fruitful subject
for medical discourse. There is as great
a difference between London and coun-
try dust as there is between the CORES
ponding muds. Pulverized matter
would be harmless enough If it were de-
prived Of its physical property of ready
diffusion. Tbs atmosphere is laden and
swarms with participate matter of
highly complex nature. Its chief peril
to living beings resides in the organic
constituents; largely this organic ma
terial consists of minute forms Of life in
q state Of latency, only waiting for a
spell of heat and moisture and favora-
bic amount Of light, or 1t may be dark
ness, to awaken it into activity. The
habits of individuals in every class Of
society, including the masses, are not
calculated to diminish, but rather to
augment, the amount of organic matter
in our atmosphere. Mucous, saliva, and
humor, popularity known as matter, I"
must be discharged from the mouth and
nostrils to the extent of many gallons
daily, and not little of this comes from
infective sources; while we venture to
think that the bulk of it mingles with
the dust of our streets and courts.
If, as seems not unlikely, consump
ton is largely caused by germs" then
a very ready theory may be advocated
concerning the mode in which contagium
is caught. Who can estimate the amount
of mischief that the shaking Of mats
may have causedp How many young
girls early in the morning on their way
to business have, 80 to speak, received
their death blow while inspiring, all I'M
conscious of harm, some of the clouds
of dust that always greet themf Who
can tell3 The abatement of this danger
and nuisance is difficulty that almost
seems insurmountable. Much may be
done by personal habits Of prevention
