State Fair GlOries.

In the history and romance Of the
Mexican border there is nothing more at
tractive as a brilliant figure than the
vaquero, his horse, and the wild steers
of the plains. In his pristine glory he
will be at the state fair this year. Add
to this attraction a thousand herd of
.blooded horses and cattle; sheep and
swine; the multiform products of the
farm and mandatory, and you have a
glorious display. There will be each day
q series of Trotting and Running races,
with $4,000 in purses offered for the
winners. The State National Guard,
under arms and in camp, will give the
marvellous drill, and also compete for
handsome prizes offered for drill and in
spection. These prizes Will be arranged
to meet the capacities of every company
In the State. There will be Grand
Army reception on National Guard day,
and the veterans of the war will be feted
as the honored guests of the State Fair
association. They will sit in the guests
chair,and the broad grounds at Hamline,
with their myriad attractions will be the
old soldiers retreat of Joy for a day. A
novel feature, and one calculated to
arouse deep interest, will be the contest
of horseshoers of the State for valuable
prizes. There is not horseshoer at his
forge who will not feel the thrill of COM
petition in his blood when he learns that
at the State Fair he can honestly wage
his skill in shoeing the noble horse, and
win handsome prize. On Sept. 18th
the Grand Producers and Industrial Pa
rade of 1883 will be repeated before the
grand stand with all the triumphs of
Ceres and the Mechanics and the herds
of the fields in line. 1t will be the long
est and most varied product parade ever
carried out IN the Union. The Live
Stock Barns, capacious and clean, filled
with the farmers herds of the Central
and Western States; Machinery Hall
quivering with the "whirr'' of mechani-
cal inventions; Agricultural Hall. yellow
with the grains of thousand farms;
Floral Hall, sweet with roses, lilies and
the gems of the hot house; the Art Gal
lery, hung with the choicest products
from the brushes Of old masters; the
Main Hall with its attractions Of trade
and focal point for the Ladies; the Race
Track, and its equine kings; around all
the rolling grassy slopes of the beautiful
grounds, and above the tempered sky Of
autumn; the flash and CLEAN of the bay
'onet and sword; the bright picturesque
ness of the Vaquero, and stirring strains
Of music-all these will form a panorama
for study and pleasure such as the State
Fair has never seen before. These are
not by any means the full list of attrac-
lions of the Fair, but they show at this
early date how far the management has
gone in preparing for magnificent pop
ular reception in September. The West
ern Association of Railroads has made a
passenger rate to the Fal rof One Fare
for the Round Trip. Tickets good from
Sept to Is, inclusive.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Congress-

Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was

held the weapon she poured some oil
in it. In some manner the weapon
was discharged, the bullet striking

MILLIONS ATSTAKE.
Peter Kimberly, Of Sharon, Struggling
With Charles d. Arms, Youngs.
towns Cresus for an Income
of 800, 900 Year and
Mint Of Ready
Money.

WASHINGTON, January ga case
in which number of States and
Territories are interested has occu-
pied the attention of the Supreme
Court for the past two days, and has
drawn to the court large number
of Ohio and Pennsylvania people.
The case is that of Peter L. Kimber-
ly, of Sharon, Pa, against Charles
d. Arms, of Youngstown, o., and in
wolves the practical ownership of the
Grand Central mine, in Arizona, a
property valued to-day at about
$5,000,000 and for an accounting of
nearly 100000 dividends received.
In 1878 Kimberly and Arms went
into partnership with about $4,000
to buy mines in Dakota, Arizona
and Colorado, and gradually increas-
ing their investments, they purchas-
ed interests in some 40mining prop
critics, many of them in Dakota.
While in Arizona, Arms, who acted
as prospector and purchaser for the
firm, was offered large interest in
the Grand Central mine for $1,000
by Gage & Wetherell. He had not
the money TO buy nor had his part
ner. Both were financially embar-
raised and could do no business in
their own names, SO that a man named
Obi, acting for Kimberly, and Arms
wife were the ostensible partners.
Arms said that if the money could
not be secured in other ways he
thought that w. X. Fairbanks, Of
Chicago, could furnish 1t. Kimber-
ly told him to go ahead, and Arms
made an arrangement by which
Fairbanks, for share in the mine,
furnished the money. A new com
pany was formed, and Arms got IT,
500 shares of the new stock.
On the day that Garfield was in
augurated, in 1880, the partnership
was dissolved, and Oil for Kimberly
received from Arms his share Of
everything except the stock in the
Grand Central mine. Kimcerly de-
manded one-half the stock, but Arms
claimed that the agreement with
Fairbanks was an affair of his own,
outside the partnership. Kimberly
brought suit in the United States
Circuit Court for the Northern dis
trict of Ohio, and by agreement the
case was heard by master in chan
Gerry and decided in favor of Kimber
ly. The case carried by Arms to the
Supreme Court, where Justice Stan
ley Matthews reversed the masters
decision and entered decree for
Arms,
A reversal Of the decision of the
court below, it is said, would leave
Arms practically ruined. His in
come from his share of the mine is

Newspaper Trials.

One Of the greatest trials Of the
newspaper profession is that it,
members are compelled to see more
of the sham Of the world than any
other profession. Through every
newspaper Office, day after day, go
all the weaknesses of the world, all
the vanities that want to be pufed,
all the revenges that want to be
reaped, all the mistakes that want
to be corrected, all the dull speakers
that want to be thought eloquent,
all the meanness that wants to have
its wares noticed gratis in the edi-
torial column in order to save TIE
tax of the. advertising column; al
the men who want to be set right
who were never right; all the crack
Drained philosophers with stories -
long as their hair and as gloomy -
their finger nails in mourning bc-
cause bereft Of soap-all the bores
who come to stay five minutes but
talk five hours. Through the <eQi-
torial and reportorial rooms al the
follies and shams of the world are
seen, day after day, and the tempta-
ton is to believe neither in God,
man nor woman. 1t is no surprise
to me that in this profession there
are some skeptical men; ! only woD-
der that newspaper men believe any
thing.-I'almagc.

MONONGAHELA NAVIGATION.
Continuation Ofthe Arguments in Con-
demnatory PrOceedings-COlonel
Allen In Earnest for the
Government.

The United States Court yester-
day morning was comfortably filled
with the officers and stockholders of
the Monongahela Navigation Com
pany, and with river men generally,
all being greatly interested in the
contest going ON TO ascertain wheth-
er or not the Monongahela river was
to be free to all navigators.
The case was argued before Judge
Acheson, and Colonel L. M. Allen
and I. B. Alcorn appeared for the
United States and r. B. Carnahan
and George Shiras, jr, for the com
pany.
Mr.. Carnahan argued that no part
of a system Of works could be taken
without just compensation, and sew
eral authorities were cited.
Colonel Allen, United States Dis
trict Attorney, then arose and based
his argument upon the following
points, for which he cited volumi-
nous decisions
Water ways of interstate CON-
merce are subject to the power of
Congress.
The charter of the company ex-
tends the right to erect dams and
locks in both Pennsylvania and Vir-
ginia, which rights were a regulation
of commerce between said States
therefore the erection of dams and
locks are instructions in the path
way of the United States and their
franchise is void against the author
ity of the United States.
The United States has right to
remove such distractions, and any
payment the Government may make
is mere matter of grace; therefore,
the proviso in the act directing these
proceedings is valid and constitu-
| tional
All rights were accepted by the
company subject to the paramount
rights of the United States, and the
constitutionality of the proviso, if SO
held, will not necessarily defeat the
condemnation proceedings in this
case.
Mr.. Shiras, for the company, then
said they wanted also TO consider
the value Of the stock before these
proceedings were threatened. He
cited several cases, and said the
company was not trespasser. He
did not dispute right to condemn
property as public nuisance, but
the Government is taking property
for their own use, though they may
not charge tolls.
