IA Pleasant Affair.

The Arion Sommernachtfest on the State
fair grounds yesterday evening was q
great success, large number of invited
guests being present to participate in the
pleasures of the occasion. The affair really
commenced in the afternoon, and splen-
did time was enjoyed by the ladies and
children as we'll as many of the gentlemen,
base ball, foot ball, riding, &C., being the
amusements. In the evening the usual
grand torchlight procession, bicycle parade,
fireworks, dancing, singing and other
smusements combined to make it pleas
ant for all. The fireworks were in charge
of DIR. Booking and the display was a good
one. The young ladies had charge of the
supper, and all who partook of it were for
tunate. 1t was splendid. The whole az
fair, indeed, was very enjoyable and con-
tinued until quite late hour.

Tho II. b o. Repairs.

The B. o. bridge across the creek was
completed yesterday morning and 8 test
was made of it A train Of gondols cars
heavily laden with dirt was backed on to
the bridge, and it hank two or three feet.
It was then blocked up level again and
three heavy engines were run over IL, and
the structure stood the test nicely. A
train laden with material was then run
out az far as Elm Grove, where work was
at once begun.
Such rapid progress was made yesterday
that last evening about all the track was
in good shape, and all that remained was
to throw three or four trestles across points
where bridges were swept away. Five or
six of the trestles are all ready for the
rails, and the remainder will be in the
same shape by this evening. It Is very
probable that trains will not be running
before Friday morning.
Trains are now running from Pittsburg
and Wash pgton as far rs Roney's Point,
and passengers who come that far are com.
PEELED to walk to the moor line, although
they are informed of that fact before the
start.

 Hnrrisan ns n Reformer.

Senator Harrison's record as a statesman Is not that of a lerfervid civil service reformer. There is no evidence to show that he has ever wept over the abuses of the spells system or labored with any giant energy for its reform. In the Senate he refused, ill., deed. to go as far in the matter of civil reform as many other members of his party. He favored some points in the reform law, but opposed the abolition of political assessments. It was the use of the civil service ,as disbursing agency when the party in power was hard up that more than any one thing called public attention to the evils that permeated it. The country was properly disgusted with the Jay Hub bellism that prevailed at that time, but Harrison was not affected by any sense of it's impropriety and was op- posed to interfering with it. Person- ally Harrison while in Congress was a most persistent spells Senator. He was always at work for his friends, and his active struggle for offices pro yoked the sarcasm even Of Blaine, who once said: Why, Harrison has ap- piled for thirteen more consulships than there are on the whole list.
 The man who has been so persistent an otfce-beggar himself is hardly .he one to resist party pressure and en- force sound principles of reform. lis nomination holds out no hope to the civil service reformers. Instead Of ad- yancing the reform his administration would be likely to surrender what nas already been gained for it.

This compntation shows the farms of thirteen Western States mortgaged for $1, ,430, 900, ,0G0 fourteen hundred and thirty million dollars.) It does not in- clude State debts, railroad property in these States mortgaged to the Eastern favored class, or anything except farm mortgages. :,
 AS these mortgages are foreclosed and the small farmer evicted, the land passes more and more into the hands of the Trust and Loan companies which put out at usury the surplus money of the favored class.
 Buying everything he uses in cor nered market, selling everything he sells at free trade prices. the Western farmer has nothing before him under this policy except ruin followed by eviction, or else the position of ten ant or hired man on tbe immense farms that will be managed by incor- porated syndicates under the new sys- tenn of agriculture that must take the place of the old when embargo taxa ton for monopoly shall have done Its perfect work.
 The farmer is flouted by the Repub- lican party when he asks relief. The Chicago convention was willing that .suhe tax should be abated on tobacco and whiskey, as the same men were that it should be on bank stock. bank deposits, incomes from United states bonds, perfumery, playing cards, etc, V but it proposes still higher taxation lon the shoes, the blankets, the cloth ing, the plough-shares and on all other naeessarieS of life "

Illinois Crops.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, July S.-Reports received by the State Board of Agricul. ture for the week ended yesterday show n temperature above the average for nearly all the sections of the State and, with this and fairly good amount of moisture. vegetable growth has been rapid. There was fair amount of rainfall esp ,cially in the northern part of the Stat ,. the heaviest being in Bureau County on the afternoon of the 4th. The storm q that day prostrated oats badly in tie Counties of Rock Island, Ogle, Buieau, Putnam, Mar. shall. LaSalie, Henderson, McDonough, Tazewell, Fulton and Macon. Except as relating to this st rm the reports of the week are entirel3 favorable.
 Corn has generally improved; its growth has been rapid, and notwith- standing the effects of the storm in some localities, is in very satisfactory condition. The rapid growth of the week also applies to weeds, which re- quire additional attention.
 The oats crop for the whole State is above the average, and would have been much more but for the extensive Judgement caused by.lB late storm. Still it is believed Lh tt the damage done in this respeetwill be less than at first anticipated.
 Spring wheat in the northern counties continues to improve, and will, in most instances, be fully an av- craze crop. Winter wheat is in much the same condition as reported the preceding week. It is ripening fast in the central part of the State, and is nearly all harvested in the southern division. In some instances, when har- vested, the yield is fully up to the av- craze. but in general it is less, and the quality of the grain somewhat inferior. Chinch bugs are still operating and some damage resulting.

Wearing Teeth as Charms.

Among the cranky ideas adopted by girls is the practice of preserving their extracted teeth and wearing them as jewelry charms. and it is one of the nonsensical fads of the day. Do many of our patients carry away their teeth after we have extracted them? We'll, I should say they did, replied a West Thirty-fourth street dentist to a New York Telegram reporter recently. Nine out of ten of our patients. es- pecially young girls and omen. ask us to wrap up their extracted molars to carry home. know a pretty girl who had a tooth extracted eight years ago, when she was child. which she has carried as charm ever since. She wears it day and night Quite a number of people have little cases made about the size of thimble. in which they carry their extracted teeth after they have been polished and tipped with gold. Another lady has a bracelet made of her upper teeth. They are set in diamonds and look unique as teeth jewelry."
