Tuesday, the first day OF the fair was
cold and cloudy and II general feeling OF
gloom pcrvaded the grounds. Several car
loads of stock from Lansing that had
been on the grounds since Saturday, and
the usual number OF race horses and
grooms were the principal appearances OF
a fair on Tuesday. Wednesday, the sec
ond dav. was continuation of Tuesday,
as far as the weather was concerned
There seemed to be still an indecision as
to whether il would rain or snow. 1t
did neither, but was cold very cold. The
assistants'in the Secretary's office alter
mated making long lists of entries and
warming themselves at the stoves inside
their paper lined quarters. The entries
came in fast. Long lists of fruit and
vegetables were followed by entries OF
live stock. The entries in the Floral hall
were unprecedented. All that was need
ed for success was sunshine. Occasional
ly Seo'y Dewey would go out to take a
look at the prospects but came back each
time with his overcoat buttoned still tight.

w. &. I. u. tent were hollow mockery.
If the same proportion of Shiawassec Cos.
population had turned out as were the
candidates. the grounds would not have
held them The usual number Of shoot
ing galleries, candy stands, peanut ycnders,
deep sea wonder shows etc, were on hand.
One youth with a repeating rife, cartridge
belt and broad hat gave exhibitions of
shooting and would give the world 10 be
considered Western Panger.
On account of the extreme cold weather
and the small crowd on Wednesday the
Republicans decided not to have Gen. +.
w. Palmer, of Illinois. deliver his adj
dress. This was great disappointment to
the management as they We're anxious to
carry ont all details advertised. General
Palmer was present and expressed him
self highly pleased with the exhibits.
Thursday the weather was still in state
of uncertainty till near noon when the
promise Of fine day brought out large
crowd. The force in the treasurer's Office
was increased to accommodate the crowd
buying tickets. This was Democratic day
and in the afternoon Wellington II. Burt
made his usual speech from stand at the
rear of the machine hall. A fair sized
audience listened TO his speech amid the
rattle of shooting gallery rifles and shouting
of candy and peanut venders. Shiawassee

ers that have been taxed on everything
This part of his speech fell very fiat
The Owosso High School Cadets gave a
very creditable drill in front of the grand
stand in the afternoon with % men in line.

races were the additional features of the
fair Thursday.

A Siege and Capture.

DUBLIN, August 17.-Eleven persons
were arrested yesterday in connection
with the eviction of Farmer Somers,
Coolroe, who offered strenuous resistance.
Somers had fortified his place with earth
work and trenches. Before operations
were begun he made an offer which the
magistrate advised the landlord to ac-
cept. The landlord, however, refused to
accept the offer. Two hundred policemen
with the aid of battering ram then
began the attack. After three hours of
useless conflict an American gentleman
offered to pay half of the rent, but his
offer was refused. The police then re-
sumed the attack, using their bayonets,
but they were compelled to retire, many
being injured. At 6 P. NJ, seeing the ga
BILE was on fire, Mr.. Redmond and Canon
Doyle advised the inmates to surrender.
The defenders came out and were ar
rested.

The Scientists.

CLEVELAND, August 1.-THE attend
ance of visitors at the meeting of the
American Association for the advance
ment of science, was larger than ever to-
day. Many interesting papers were read,
among them one prepared by ]. G. Hue
ston, and read by Commander Taylor, OF
the U. S. N, on the Nicaragua Canal,
its general features and the results anti
cipated from its construction. Recent
Nicaragua Ship Canal Surveys" was the
subject OF fine paper written by B. E.
Peary, U. S.N. w. J. Keep, of Detroit,
read a paper on the influence of aluminium
upon cast-iron. He proved that alum
inum caused white iron to turn gray, en-
tirely prevented blow holes, increased
the strength, took away the tendency to
chill, lessened the thickness of the scales,
softened the iron and increased its elasti-
city. Owing to the rapidly falling price
of aluminium this research will be of
great value to iron founders.

case of Moore and Williams, accused Of
the Kneebone murder, the testimony
yesterday showed that if the murdered
man had driven the team at a certain
speed, and if the accused following in a

kill him and were with the body when a
peddler arrived on the scene. The ex-
animation terminated to-day and re-

Tucson, A. t., August 17.-General
Miles and Lieutenant Gatewood have re-
turned to Los Angeles and it is generally
believed the Indian troubles have been
averted. Last week the renegades sent
word to General Miles that if he would
agree not to arrest or punish them they
would return. He refused to consider
this and gave them five days to return or
he would send troops after them. The
five days expired Monday, but it is not
learned if they returned or not.

Alliance, and Notwithstanding the
very busy season through which we
have encountered disadvantages, our
number has increased to nearly fifty
members, having enrolled the very
best material of our county, with sew
eral applications on the secretary's
desk; all of whom are in high spirits
and in harmony, determined to use
every honorable means to rescue them
selves from the hand of oppression
and the heel of tyranny, to have re-
lief from the many outrages perpe-
trated by monopolies and others un-
authorized by equity, who are fleeing
the tillers of the soil, W. feel the
great necessity of establishing the
State Agency Fund, and will con-
tribute literally to it's support, as we
r fully satisfied of the good effects
to be realized in a sound trade basis.
We hope and believe every good
Alliance man in the State will not
hesitate to do all in his power to
establish it at once, as we must look
to it for the practicable evidence of
the good to be realized by those be-
longing to the Farmers; Alliance; let
us all move in this direction, showing
that we mean business, not a farce.
We also heartily concur with and en-
dorse the demands of the State ALI
ance, and feel proud of the great wis
dom displayed by that honorable body
in the general disposition of the mat
ter and business before them at the
annual meeting.
[ cannot refrain from saying that a
goodly number of order are sub
scribers to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
and a nice list is being filed up. We
cannot afford to be without our great
educator, the State organ. We think
it the most important paper the farmer
can read; and wishing it great success,

lines this morning.
The Alliance is prospecting up here,
we are trying to get the farmers to CO.
operate together and make the organi-
zation just what it ought to be, Co.
operation, when properly understood
and fairly and honestly carried out, is
unquestionably the most certain and
satisfactory solution of how those with
little capital a a v money and bet
ter their condition. There is a num-
Der of forms of cooperation in opera
ton to a greater or less extent in diff
ferent parts of the world. Where
honestly and efficiently administered
they accomplish great results. In
our own country the principal ex-
amples of cooperative labor are found
in the various enterprises of different
religious sects. They have banded to-
gether on religious tenets. And ]: is
by no means necessary that religious
dogmas should find any place in the
formation of a cooperative association.
If formed and run on strictly business
principles, they are just as successful
as when of a religious nature. We all
know how universally prosperous and
successful all branches of industry r
that have organized and have adapted
the cooperative system. Whether in
running farms, manufactures, or
stores, they always succeed: The fun
damental principle on which lies their
success, consists in the old established
maxim " In union there is strength.
The farmers, seeing no prospect of help
coming from others, must 60 to work

Franklin, Richmond, Caswell,
Durham, Pitt, Perquimans and other
counties have endorsed the demands of
the State Alliance for some reforms in
legislation. We learn that some of our
farmer candidates, in their canvass against
some former representatives in the Legis-
lature, made them confess before the
people that they rode to Raleigh on free
passes, and the aforesaid representatives
were sat down upon heavily by the afore-
said people. The Alliance is done passing
resolutions for Buncombe, or to simply
see how they read on paper. They are
making just and righteous demands, and
they will stand or fall by them.
