CONCHO VALLEY FAIR
The Second Season Great Succass-sIagnif-
cant Exhibits Of the Products Of
the Concho Country.
Correspondence OF the Gazette.

| Correspondence OF the Gazette.
I SAN ANGELO, Ten, Nov. l4.-The
Concho valley fair close yesterday. This
and was more of success in every way
than it was last year. Exposition hall
proved great attraction throughout the
entire far. The departments of aGrIcul-
ture, art. textile and culinary were well
represented. The products of the
Coucho country formed magnificent eX-
hibit, and proved an eye-opener to visi-
tors who have always considered this @
desert where farming was wholly i'm
practicable. Frank Lerch, the irrepres-
sible, had private exhibit Of farm pro-
ducts from his own plantation arranged
IN an artistic shape that would eclipse
anything on exhibition at the state fair.
IL this exhibit was wheat, corn, cotton,
vegetables and fruit of all kinds, as fine
as can be grown anywhere in the state.
or in any other country. The association
owe to the good ladies of San Angelo a
debt of gratitude for the pleasing effect
produced by the artistic arrangement OF
the exhibits IN the exposition hall. The
fine stock exhibit was a surprise 10 every
one. 1t showed a careful attention and
RAPID progression in the development of
blooded stock.
Bad weather iuterrered somewhat with
the races and OF course diminished the
attendance, but notwithstanding the
fair was grand sue cess, and the mall
eSemeut deserve great praise. 1t has
been worth thousands to Angelo and the
Concho country. 1t has demonstrated to
the public the possibilities OF this country
IN u way that no other means could have
done it. There is no longer doubt in the
minds of thoss who visited the fair that
the Coucho is great agricultural coun-
try and with it one of the finest climates
in the world. There Is lots of Fort
Worth grit and enterprise in San Angelo,
and there is not another people in the
state who have surmounted the obstacles
and prejudices and made the rapid pro-
gress that San Angelo has. Her name is
Eli and her motto is 'get there She
has splendi electric light system, ana
will have in a few months as fine water
works system as there is in the state.
Her water supply Is abundant and
clear, pure aud fine 70 drink and
battle in as there is in the state.
With the success OF this years fair, An
cello VIII next year cover herself all over
with glory. Everybody and his wife
went home singing the praises of San An
gelo.

Fair trade was enjoyed by the mer-
ency OF the weather. A slow rain pre-
vailed almost the entire da.-, and not
many people were upon the streets-onIy
those who were compelled to come out.
General family supply dealers had a
big run on their stocks, but managed to
supply all wants OF their customers,
leaving stocks about cleared OF choice
produce, poultry. butter, eggs, etc.
Dealers in fuel aud feedstuffs are also
pressed to supply the demand, and prices
are very firm.

Chicago Tribune.
The latest returns indicate that the
Democrats, including the Farmers ALI
ancs men, will have 23S members in the
next house, while the Republicans will
have but ninety three. This will give
the Democrats majority Of l45, and
even if some of the Alliance men should
vote with the Republicans the Democrats
would still have nearly, if not quite. a
two-thirds majority.
The Democratic majority is 145. There
are l2l votes from the South. Hence It
appears that without vote from the
South the Democrats would still have q
majority of twentY-four. This more
fully appears from the following sum-
mary:

Torrance this evening Alden Benedict's
great romantic spectacular drama. "Fa-

first time here. The engagement is for
three nightsand Wednesday matinee. In
speaking of the play a Western comtem-
porary says:-"Aiden Benedict's "Fabio
Romari," a play whose whole theme is
womants ickleness, filed the theatre
yesterday. The story is certainly inter
esting. Fabio Romani. q wealthy noble
man, is buried alive through the agency
of a false friend who secretly loves his
wife; that is, he is supposed to be buried
alive but revives from a trance in the
vault and escapes. Fabto discovers his
wife's ihidelity, makes love to her and
wins her affection. In pretense of show
ing her his treasure Pablo conducts her
to the empty tomb, which, on beholding,
turns the woman's reason. Walter Law
renee, who appears as Fabio. acts with
great intensity. j. F. Palmer in the role
Of Ferrari did good work, and so did G.
L. Farwell as the rag picker. Frances
Field acted the part of Nina. the faithless
wife, excellently, and brought out the
coquettish elements of such a nature very
well indeed. The company as a whole is
