An Outsiders View.

The greatest and most successful
fair to be held in the interior of the
State this year will be that at Mex
leo, August 9th. The amount of
money offered in premiums will at
tract the largest number of the best
trotting, running and saddle horses
to be seen at any fair and the at
fractions otherwise will be of equal
Importance. 1t will amply repay
any one who can spare the time to
attend, to see the county alone; it is
one of the most productive in the
State and is not surpassed as a
stock breeding or general agricul-
tu-al region. The people are en-
terprising, the social attractions
such as that class of people pro-
vide, hence schools, churches, col
leges and general prosperity and
thrift abound all over the county.
A visit to the fair will discover an
abundance ofaccomodation for man
and beast, ample stall room for any
quantity of every kind of stock,
high premiums and attentive and
courteous officials. The races of
the Missouri Trotting and Pacing
Horse Breeders Association form
part of the programme and will
bring out hundreds of horsemen.

Open Windows at Night.


An extraordinary fallacy is the
dread of night air. What air can
we breath at night but night air!
The choice is between pure night
air from without and foul air from
within. Most people prefer the
latter-an unaccountable choice.
What will they say if it is proved
to be true that fully one-half of all
the diseases we suffer from are oc-
casioned by people sleeping with
their windows shut? An open win
dow most any night in the year can
never hurt anyone. In great cities
night air is often the best and pur-
est to be had in twenty-four hours.
One could better understand shut
ting the windows in town during the
day than during the night for the
sake of the sick. The absence OF
smoke, the quiet, all tend to make
the night the best time for airing
the patient. One of our highest
medical authorities on consumption
and climate has told me that the
air is never so good as after 1C
O'Clock at night. Always air your
room, then, from the outside air,
if possible. Windows are made to
open, doors are made to shut-a
truth which seems extremely diff.
cult of apprehension. Every room
must be aired from without, every
passage from within.

Simple Science.

Not the least pleasant thing about
a knowledge of simple science is the
ability it gives you to entertain others.
The most easily made experiments
excite wonder in those to whom they
are new, and many a young host has
enlivened an evening by a knowledge
of the suggestions we are making un-
der this head. Here are two:
Make a small hole in each end of
fresh egg, and after blowing out the
contents close one end with bit of
sealing wax. Cut two pieces of cloth
in the shape of the body of fish,
and sew together on the edges so as
to make pointed bag. Into this
bag some sand should be put for
ballast.
The mouth Of the bag must be ex-
actly the size of the egg, which is to
be fastened into 1t with sealing-wax
or glue 10 form the head OF the fish.
Having prepared it in this way, paint
two eyes on the egg with black paint,
and the magic fish is ready to be put
into jar of water.
The weight Of the sand in the bag
must be such that the fish will float to
the surface if left to itself, but so that
a very light touch will cause it to
sink.
Cover the jar tightly with a piece
of India rubber, or any other water
proof, flexible substance. When you
lay your hand on the covering the
pressure transmitted to the liquid will
cause a little water to enter the egg,
and the fish will dive; the heavier
you press the more quickly it will
plunge. If you remove your hand
from the india rubber the compressed
air in the egg will force out the water
and the fish will come to the surface
again.
Lay on the edge of a table long
and narrow paper bag, and place some
heavy weights-two dictionaries for
example-upon the closed end. The
books can be overturned without be-
ing touched, simply by blowing.
The compressed air will swell the
bag so violently that the weights upon
it will be raised and thrown over.
This experiment enables us to meas
ure the strength of our breath by

w. C. T. u. Notes.


The president received a letter
from Mrs. Jones, of Rector, Clay
county, asking for instruction and
help to organize W. G. T. U. there,
saying many mothers are asking what
they can do to save their boys; that
'the trail of the serpent is SEEM in
that part of the State. A package
OF lectures and a letter of greeting
and instruction was gladly written,
and we hope to hear of good work in
that county, which has not received
much attention.
Malvern Union had an anniversary
entertainment, which enlisted much
interest and stirred some of those
who had grown lukewarm. Mrs. N.
f. Fitzpatrick, the newly elected pres
ident of the Union is niece of Prof.
o. 5. Fowler, the great phrenologist,
and is deeply interested in Kinder
garten schools.
Also reports from Lavaca, in Sc
bastian county, that new Union has
been organized, with Mrs. Emma
Woodruff, president. This is the
fourth Union the result of dear Mrs.
Harris late visit to that section of the
State. Her lost valise has not vet
been found. The loss and suspense
would have been harder to bear if
she had not been so busy getting all
in readiness for the presentation of
the Scientific Temperance Instruction
bill to the legislature, that she could
not take time to think about it.
Bro. and Sister Hart have rented
their place at Hazen, and by the time
this is read they will be fixing in their
own hired rooms, corner of Fourth
and State streets. They will receive
a hearty welcome from their many
friends. The work of Bro. Hart at
the penitentiary is increasing in in
terest.
The Gospel Temperance meeting at
the Christian church, corner of Tenth
and Louisiana streets, Sunday the
10th, at pm, will be addressed by
DIR. Gibbons, representative from
Prairie county. Music by the Senior
choir from the Blind school, and a
recitation by Miss Lettice Dodge will
add to the interest. Let those who
are interested in this branch of Cos
pei work come and bring those not
interested.
AT the meeting of the Union sew
eral subjects of interest were dis
cussed, but three especially claimed
the attention, the next Gospel Tenn
perance meeting, Police Matron work
and the shameful picture on Mark
ham street. Mrs. Harris has reported
at police headquarters twice a day
since Friday, but no women claimed
her care till Thursday morning, when
she found five unfortunate ones who
were arrested and passed the night in
the calaboose. They, as well as those
connected with the police, treated her
with respect and seemed thankful

their degradation,

That Old Deadlock Out mt the Lincoln Sub
District School,
The impression has been made by news
paper accounts of the Lincoln school dead
lock that Miss Mccormick, teacher of No.
IA was an applicant for the position of writ
ing teacher, held last year by Miss Gardner.
Such is very far from being the fact. Not
only did Miss Mccormick never apply for
the position, but so soon as her name was
presented, positively refused to be c6nsid-
cred candidate. She was an applicant for
the position she filled last year to the salts
faction of Superintendent Greaves and all
concerned. Against her own will and
without her knowledge, Miss McCormick's 5
name was presented to the Lincoln School
Board in opposition to Miss Gardner and
supported for the position by three members.
There was at no time any opposition to her
being retained in the schools. Now she is
left out in the cold by the board because
they cannot agree as to who shall be writing
teacher.
The three members of the board who
would, at the close of the school year, cheer
fully have placed Miss Mccormick in her
old position, and now have no personal OBJ
lection 10 her.. refuse to do so until the
other three shall come to them and reinstate
Miss Gardner. 1t now looks as though the
courts would be called on to settle the diff

TWO POLICEMEN SUSPENDED.
Result Of an IsvestiGasion by Mayor Pear
son Last Evening.

Result Of an Investigation by Mayor Pear.
son Last Evening.
The conduct of three members of the
police force of Allegheny was investigated
last evening by Mayor Pearson. and two
officers were indefinitely suspended.
On the morning of Wednesday, August
21, Officers George. Holmes, john Schultz
and Robert Moreland were on duty at the
oil refinery fire in the Fifth ward. A man
named Wagner passed through the lines
and began to distribute tobies to the fire
men. Officer Schultz objected, and told
Wagner to take walk, as he was in
terfering with the work Of the fremen.
Louis Jones interrupted Schultz, who
was in plain clothes, and told the of
ficer to mind his own business. Schultz
threatened to arrest Jones, whereupon the
latter informed the officer that it would
take four like him to perform that feat.
The two men clutched, but were separated
by other policemen. A few minutes later
Schultz broke away from his associate
officers, and with his mace in his hand,
attacked Jones and beat him severely.
Lieutenant McNemery arrived at that mo-
ment and placed both Jones and Schultz
under arrest for disorderly conduct.
w men mayor fearson learned OF tne aHair
be temporarily suspended Schultz, Holmes
and Moreland. Holmes was acting as a
lieutenant at the time, and the two other
men were under his orders.
At the investigation last evening testi-
mony was given by the accused officers and
by Jones and Wagner. The two latter ex-
pressed their opinion that the policemen
were intoxicated. Mayor Pearson said,
after the hearing. that he did not believe
that the officers were drunk, but he was
satisfied that they had taken too many
drinks. Officer Moreland acknowledged
that he had taken several glasses of beer.
Mayor Pearson suspended Schultz and
Holmes indefinitely, which is considered
equivalent to a discharge. The case of
Officer Moreland was held for further in
quiry. John Schultz is one of the oldest
officers on the Allegheny police force, and
has done much good work.
