this place Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, Sept. %, 20 and q, promise to
be a success IN every way. The first
day was rainy and but very few entries
were made, bait the second day opened
up bright with every prospect that the
two last days would bring allarge num-
Der of entries and likewise a large
crowd. Up TO noon Thursday about
i 500 entries were made. ON looking
over the grounds this Thursday MORN
ing the first thing which attracted our
attention was the mammoth spread of
canvass belonging to Fred LOcke's new
double show. Fred is doing a good
business this season and his show de-
serves the success it has attained. w.
ii. Harris is OH the ground as usual
with fine line of buggies and carri-
ages of his own make. Moore IL
Strong's display of fine buggies and
carriages is large and Jas. Cogleys ex-
cellent display of pl0ws and harrows
shows the enterprise of this gentleman.
Entering floral hall from the south we
notice large displays made by "A. w.

unoccupied. In the north wing is dis
played fruits, vegetables, cereals. bread,
butter and canned fruits. each class
being well represented. The fancy
work department occupies the whole of
the east wing and is very creditable to
the ladies. We passed out and on to
the poultry sheds. These we found not
very well filled. Then on to the stock
sheds. Here we found fine lot of ami
mails. The following is list of the prin-
cipal exhibitors: In cattle, y. Moore,
Jerseys; n. Mckenna, HolsteinS; Thos.

although the quality is fine, same as lii
sheep. y. Mckenna, VIM. II. Scott. Eli
SilverthOrn, Bowman " Wear and VIM.
Grimes are the principal exhibitors in
these classes. The exhibition of horses

EpOch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such remarkable event is
treasured in the memory, and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in
praise of Electric Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to health
TO the use of the Great Alternative and
Tonic. If you are troubled with any
disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach,
of long or short standing you will sure
ly find relief by use of Electric Bitters.

ROCK ISLAND AHEAD.
The Latest Thing in Tourist sleep
ing Cars.

The Rock Island has iHaugurated new feature,
which promise to create considerable interest in
railway improvement, it being free tourist car
service, with nearly all the conveniences of the
palace car. including eOl0red porter in attendance
dne hair mattresses. pillows, blankets, soap, etc
When made up for the night, the fourteen sec
tons are partitiOned OF with sliding panels, and
Curtained with heavy damask draperies. Tables
attachabIe TO the sides Of the interior, are pro-
vided for each section. The cars are heated by
steam. the aisles earpeted and cuspidOrs for the
cleanliness Of the cars. are added The duties of
the porter accompanying each car viii be similar to
those OF the palace car seFvice-to look after the
wants OF the passengers and see that the car is
kept perfectly clean. In ZONE end is the ladies'
lavatOry,s and in the other. one for gentlemen,
which are nicely appointed and furnished as the
most fastidiOus would desire. The intention Of
the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska is to furnish
these cars free of charge to Tourist or excursion
parties when the number Of persons is sufficiently
such accommodations. and without charge, there
is no further necessity of a Western tour without
sleeping accommodations, nor is it necessary to
make such trip expensive. It is great induce
ment for parties, clubs, or any considerable num-
Der Of parsons contemplating trip to the Rocky
Mountains, for instance. And, too, the Denver
& Rio Grand has adopted the same scheme. and
as the Rock Island connects with this route in
Colorado the free tourist car system win no
doubt be generally adopted by those in search of
the pleasure and health giving regions OF our con-

Some of the Kansas City papers
have made the charge that Senator
Plumb acted the part of a traitor in
opposing the Oklahoma bill It will
be a pretty hard matter to make the
people believe any such thing, Sen
ator Plumb gave good reasons for his
opposition to the measure, and so far
as we are able to judge, he was not
only not a traitor, but was the fear
less champion of the people in his eff
forts to defeat lot of land pirates
who had conspired together to steal
from the Indians and the government
a big lot Of land which they call town
sites. If the charges of the Missouri
papers are true let them come for
ward with the proofs, or if they do
not, be branded as INSCRIPTIONS de

We receive about seventY-fve pa
pers at this office in the way of ex-
changes, several being from Nebras-
ka. Among all the weeklies, there
are none that show higher order of
editorial ability than the Tecumseh,
Neb, Chjeftajn, A H. Swart, editor
and proprietor. Unlike many editors
Swart was not ''born and raised'' in a
printing Office, but put on the editor
ial harness after he had learned an
other profession, but he was not long
in catching on" His paper shows
that he is not only a careful, method
ical and clear-h headed newspaper man
ager, but a superior writer. He is
witty, can cut to the quick by sar-
casm when occasion requires that
sort Of writing, and in a more serious
vein can say as much in a few well
chosen words, as any Nebraska edi-
tor we are acquainted with. The Re
publican party of johnson county,
and of Nebraska are more indebted to
Swart probably than they realize.
The people Of Tecumseh have reason
to be proud of the Chieftain.

that men who visit bawdy houses have

Bold Bank Robbery at Stockton.

A telegram was received at Phil
ipsburg on Tuesday to the effect that
a stranger robbed the State bank at
Stockton at about the hour Of noon
on that day securing about $4,000 in
money. We have few particulars
but understand that the robber went
in about noon, found the cashier
alone, struck that officer with a club,
knocked him down, dragged him into
the vault, gathered up the money,
shut the vault door and made off
with the property. No arrests have
yet been made.
Later reports in regard to the
bank robbery at Stockton are that the
robber secured but $500 and there
is a suspicion that the cashier was not
robbed at all, but is crooked him
self.

It IS said that the ladies' hustle
Will soon go out of fashion. Well, a
moderate sized hustle does not de
tract from the good looks Of a woman
and they do not iniure the health like
corsets. It would be a good thing
for the health Of women if corsets
would go out of fashion and stay out
Lacing is one of the most injurious
practices that females can resort to.
1t makes invalids of millions and
kills thousands. Why will women
persist in so destructive a practice as
COMPRISING their waists and bring
ing on dangerous diseases. Kate
Field, very sensible woman, says
that the woman who aims to be fash
ionable might as we'll commit suicide
at the start. She must neglect home,
husband and children, put away com
fort and convenience, be a first class
hypocrite and a good slanderer and
at the end of ten years break down
and become a physical wreck"
Laws have been passed in some
states requiring the evils of alcohol
on the human system to be taught in
the public schools. It would not be a
bad law to have the evils of lacing to
be also taught to the school children.

help to our community, as a good
many could not raise the cash to pay
for seed wheat. Besides the seed
wheat was not in the country to be
had, most of the seed wheat in the
country is badly mixed and run out,
and bringing in this seed gives the
farmers a chance to get started in a
pure seed wheat. We are glad to see
this private enterprise in our business
