JUNIOR EXHIBITION.

The junior exhibition was held at the
town hall on Tuesday evening. The au-
dence present filled the room and list
ened attentively to the exercises. Presi-
dent Brainerd presided. There was no

gram sent in the afternoon to Brehmer's
orchestra of Rutland, who had been en-
gagged to come, causing them to remain
at home. Owing to the nOn-arrival Of
the orchestra the promenade concert,
planned by members of the class to fol-

that he saw fit to bolt our County

our last State Convention to bolt
our District Convention held at Peters

few open sympathizers in the crowd out

Mr.. Kendall made an able and states
manlike reply, ridiculing Mr.. Brownies
boosted record and putting him on the
defensive in regard to the policy of the
Republican party. Though it was nearly
night before Mr.. Kendall closed, he held
the crowd and made splendid impress

WASHINGTON. August 27.--The re-
ported $4,000 campaign contribution
from the President was the theme of dis
cussion up town and down town to-day.
When asked 10y reporter about the
story Colonel Lamont said: " don't
see anything very startling about that
story. 1t is well known that the Presi-
dent has always openly and above board
been in the habit of making such contri-
buttons as his means justified toward de-
fraying the necessary legitimate e1-
penses OF his party's campaigns whether
he has been candidate for Office
or not, and this year is not likely
10 be an exception. The expenses for
meetings, &c, in the national campaign,
covering the whole country, run Up into
hundreds Of thousands OF dollars. Some
body must pay, and none could be ex-
pected TO pay more cheerfully than those
who are supposed to have personal in
terest in their party's success. The
President will, as heretofore, assist the
Democratic party in this manner rs far
as he thinks fair and proper, just as
suppose General Harrison and General
Fisk will aid the Republican and Prohibi-
ton parties. don't know what sum he
will give, and / don't understand that it is
any Of my business, but am quite sure
that the sum you mention (Sl0, OOO) is
not unusually large"
To the further question whether or not
the story published was true the Colonel
refused to reply, saying: THAT is all |
have to say on the subject. think the
statement published to the effect that
such large sums have not been given be-
fore is all nonsense"

The Cotton Begging Trusts Eject

by
ATLANTA, GA, August Wholesale
merchants of Atlanta and other southern
cities are greatly concerned about the
probable effect of the cotton bsgging
trust upon the business of the South.
The action of the Farmers ALI
ance and similar organizations is
viewed with considerable alarm. 1t
is argued that il the farmers maiutain
the position they have taken and refuse
to market their cotton 1t will result in
the bankruptcy of the country merchants
who have advanced money on cotton.
This will, of course, affect the wholesale
dealers who sell TO country merchants,
and they are powerless TO prevent it.
The only thing they can do is TO try to
persuade the farmers to change their
position, and this they are trying to do
by circulars, newspapers, interviews, &c.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 27.--At a
meeting of the cotton-planters Of West
Tennessee and North Mississippi held

ance, which meets at Meridian, Miss, in

The Maxwell Land Grams.


DENVER, Coll, August 27.-The trou-
BILE at the Maxwell land grant has been
brewing for some time-in fact ever
since the Supreme Court of the United
States confirmed the title to the grant.
The grant was originally made by the
Mexican Government to Baubian and
Miranda, two Mexicans, who were
given two square leagues or $4,000
acres of land providing that they
would cultivate the same. The
boundaries of the grant now contain
100000 acres. The manner in which
the grant grew TO its present proper
tons is one of the causes of the trouble.
The settlers living within the boundaries
Of the grant charged that the original
property was enlarged by fraudulent
means. The highest tribunal in the Land
Department has held, however, there was
no fraud, and refused to set aside the
patent granted by Congress, but all the
same the settlers are kicking on the
ground OF fraud and bloodshed may re-
sult

KANSAS CITY, August 27.-M. Ballings-

Mo-, and his wife have been stopping at
the New Albany Hotel for several days.
They left Friday morning for nome.
Friday afternoon the proprietor of the
hotel received a telegram stating that
Ballingsley had lost 81, 600 in the hotel.
The clerk made careful search and the
money was found between the stats of the
bed and mattress. Ii was done up
in a strange fashion. Around long
leather purse that contained the money
piece of cofee-sack had been sewed
tightly. Around this was wrapped a
towel, which was also tightly sewed, and
the whole was bound up in another
towel loosely stitched together. Mr..
Bsllingsley arrived this morning and got
his money. He explained that his wife
had done it up in that manner so that
she could wear it in hustle. In the
hurry to catch the train she forgot to
put on the hustle.
