CAPITAL Fair

Inc arrangements are now peri. eted TO
sne cattle show, horse fair and hall exhibi
tion which is to be held in this city mex
week; and if favorable weather occurs at tn
time' We may expect one of the largest an,
most successful agricultural exhibitions tina
has ever been held in Central Maine for til.
past dozen or fifteen years. Already tn.
managers have assurances from some of tn.
leading breeders and farmers in the count,
that they will bring their stock here, ans
some Of the best horsemen in the county
nave already entered TO trot in the severa
races. Stock from the well-known farm Of
Gov. Bodwell will be shown. Ira ID. Sturpis
Esq, of Vassalboro will show large par
OF his line herd, and also some horses. Mr.
Simmons and the Messrs- Cony will exhibit
their Clyde horses. Cattle from Togus
from the Hospital farm and from the Bailey
herd are also expected. The exhibition al
the Park will possess many new features
among them prize for horse back riding for
boys, and prizes for family horses to be
driven by ladies. These two exhibits will
be sure to draw out much interest The
National Band has been engaged to play at
the Park on the afternoon of each day of the
Fair
The exhibition in Meonian and Union
Halls will be large, varied and interesting,
and in all departments open to our citizens
without paying an entrance fee. This being
the case, in which exhibitors all
have an opportunity to compete for the pre-
miums, the managers have deemed it just to
ask of all visitors small admission fee TO
the hall to Offset the liberality of free entries.
There was no other way in which this could
be equitably arranged. The hall exhibits
will embrace fruit, flowers, poultry, dairy
products, fine arts, needle work rugs, quilts,
all classes of fancy and ornamental work,
and every description of article usually
shown at our State and county fairs. The
halls Will be in readiness for entries Monday,
Oct. s, c. F. Fletcher, Supt of Entries.
Dennis Orchestra has been engaged to play
at Meonian Hall each evening of the fair.
The officers of the fair are II. G. Staples,
President Capital Driving Park; ID. b. Saw
age, Supt. of Fair Grounds Asa ID. Town
send Sec'y of Fair Grounds A. 6. Andrews,
Sec'y of Trotting Entries; J. II. Yeaton,
Supt. of Halls; c. F. Fletcher, Sec'y of
Hall Entries Columbus Cottle, Treasurer.
1t is fully expected that this fair will
result in the establishment of annual agri-
cultural exhibitions in this city. People in
this section of the Kennebec Valley are not
well accommodated by the fairs at either
Readfeld or Wateryille and it is believed
the field is ample enough for some large
and fine agricultural fairs to be held here.
The gentlemen and ladies' who are interested
IN the organization of these fairs are among
the best known citizens of this community,
and number some of our leading business men,
farmers and breeders Moreover. they have had
previous experience in the administration of
fairs of this kind, sufficient to guarantee that
the coming exhibition will be well arranged
attractive and eminently worthy of the pat
ronage of all our citizens.

A Weil-PresoIyed Man.

One of the best preserved men whom we
meet upon our streets is Mr.. J. s. Gushing,
long the able Treasurer of the Maine Cen
trail Railroad who after a long life of use
full activity is spending his years most hap
PLY and cheerily in this city, where so much
of his life has been spent. His connection
with the Kennebec and Portland Railroad,
the predecessor of the now grand Maine
Central, commenced in lSi9, and continued
uninterruptedly down to Sept, /, 1883
when, one morning Mr.. Gushing hand
ed in his resignation, which
was unwillingly accepted, and after an ex-
animation of his books, which took the Di-
rectors about ten minutes, his successor took
his place. During 26 years of his connection
with the road MIR. Gushing was Treasurer,
either of the former or the latter corporation.
He began his duties in little office over
Mr.. c. n. lIamlen's store, corner of Bridge
and Water streets, and from there went to
offices in the Eaton Building over what is
now Devine's drug store. In a few years

trail were moved to Portland, and Mr.. Cush
ing moved with them, making his home in
that city till his resignation in 1888, when he
again made his home in this city. Although
Mr. Gushing Is now so years of age, he does
not look over 10. He is fine specimen of
the old school gentleman, genial in converse

and the wish of his numerous friends is that
he may live "a hundred years and day, -

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth"

l
| A prominent English woman saws the
American women all have high shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twitting
they get about this nasal twang, and yet it is
fact caused by our dry, stimulating atmos-
phere, and the universal presence of ca
tarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our women
| have false teeth:
That is more of a poser to the English
1t is quite impossible to account for it ex-
cept on the theory of deranged stomach
action caused by imprudence in eating and
by want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail and
end in cough and consumption, which are
promoted by mal-nutrition induced by de-
ranged stomach action. The condition is
modern one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular use of
what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin
cough and consumption remedy and Log
Cabin sarsaparilla, two old fashioned stand
ard remedies handed down from our ances-
tors. and now exclusively put forth under
the strongest guarantees of purity and effica
cy by the worldfamed makers of Warmers
safe cure. These two remedies plentifully
used the fall and winter seasons advance,
together with an occasional use of Warmers
Log Cabin rose cream, to strengthen and
protect the nasal membranes, give positive
assurance of freedom, both from catarrh and
those dreadful and if neglected, inevitable
consequences, pneumonia, lung troubles and
consumption, which SO generally and fatally
prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher of Salem Henry Co.,
Iowa, served four years in the late war and
contracted a disease called consumption by
the doctors He had frequent hemorrhages,
After using Warmers Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy he says, under date of
Jan. 10, 1885: II do not bleed at the lungs
any more, my cough does not bother me, and
do not have any more smothering spells"
Warmers Log Cabin rose cream cured his
wife of catarrh and she is ''sound and we'll"
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false teeth
owners, but these conditions can be readily
overcome in the manner indicated.

Mr.. Charles Z. Neyins, the man so severe
Nv injured by the recent dynamite explosion,
was very. restless through Thursday night
and suffered considerable pain in the legs
yesterday. During the day, however he
rallied considerably and was quite comforta-
BILE last evening. He will without doubt
live several DAYS, and if blood poisoning
does not set in is likely to recover. The
chances are. however, that he will hnger
awhile and literally die by inches. If, how
ever, he escapes this fate it seems very
probable that he will partially recover his
sight and fully regain the hearing of the
right ear. The eyes are not blown out as
was reported, but are merely scared by the
burning cartridge. Mr.. Nevins took some
nourishment through the day and talked 8
little this afternoon, principally with his
wife, the sound of her voice being almost the
only thing he can recognize. He evidently
does not remember much about the accident
Mrs. Nevins bears up wonderfully under her
great affection, and until this afternoon wheI
she was persuaded to take little rest, ha
been with her husband day and night. Mr.
Jas. Z. Wade challenged the reporter to en-
gage in rough and tumble as he entere'
the room. He is in good spirits notwith
standing the big cash in his leg, which j
still very painful. Ever since the acciden
he has held reception of his many friends
all of whom are congratulating him on hi
narrow escape.
