FAIR NOTES.
What the Head Men of This Expo
sition are Doing.

What the Head Men of This Expo
sitiOn are Doing.
Secretary Workman leaves today
for st. Louis and other northern cities
in the interest of the fair. He will
look after the lithographing work
which promises to be superior to any
thing in that line which the fair has
had before. While there, he intends
to advertise the exposition in a most
thorough manner throughout the en-
tire east and west.
The advertising agent OF the fair
leaves tomorrow for Laredo as agent
of the association and to advertise
it in that region. He, too, is well
supplied with fair literature.
Mr.. Lingnn of the agricultural de-
partment of the Fair has just re-
turned from the southeastern coun-
ties where he has met with great
success. He travelled and eXpatlated
on the greatness and superiority of
the San Antonio Fair and secured as
surances from the solid citizens of the
various counties, of their best eXhib-
its at our exposition. Bee, Goliad,
Wilson, Dewitt, Refugio, Karnes,
Victoria and Lavaca counties have
been seen and are going to compete
for the $1,000 prize. In Karnes
county the last one visited,
the people have appointed a
central committee consisting
of five OF the most enterprising men
in the county to see that it is properly
represented. Mr.. Lingan leaves this
afternoon for Eagle Pass and points
on the Mexican International road, to
see what can be done towards inter-
esting these counties in our county

SINGULAR PREMONITION.

Approaching Shadow.

approaching shadow.
Special to Globe Democrat.
P0TTSvILLE, Pa, June ga note
worthy instance of the premonition of
impending calamity is afforded in the
case of Lewis F. Halter, the Reading
railroad engineer who was killed in
the passenger wreck at Tuckerton,
below here, on Monday last, and whs
was buried in this city Friday after
noon. Last Sunday waI Haller's off
and on that day he visited his uncle,
Lewis Beyel, at Tamaqua. In the af-
ternoon, while conversing with
cousin of his, Lance Fairer, he de-
clared that he felt he ought not to go
to work next day, Monday, but
in Tamaqua. He added: "Beyel, 1
shall probably never see you again
alive. You may die before me, and
yet there's no telling. 1 may die be-
fore you. II you say so I'll telegraph
to Pottsville and have a man to take
my place on the engine tom orrow."
Fairer, the cousin, assured Halter
that it was foolish. !: Ito talk that way,
and that there was no necessity tor
his remaining. Halter accordingly
returned to Pottsville in the evening
Before leaving home IN the morning,
Halter babe his wife goodbye twice,
aud then started off to the engine
house. But be had walked only a
block when suddenly he turned and
went back to say goodbye once more.
He tapped on the sitting-room win
dow with his hand to attract his
wife's attent ton, and, when she look ed
up, he waved a salute and babe her
goodbye the third time. On the way
to the engine house he called farewell
to numbe Of friends and acquaint-
ances. They now recall the circum-
stance as an unusual occurrence.
Lewis +. Haller's brother George
was fireman on the same engine with
him. and he relates that Lewis APP
peared very much depressed during
the early part of the run to Tucker
ton. An impending calamity seemed
to fill him with a superstitious dread
which he could not shake off.
When the crash came Lewis f.
Halter was instantly killed and
George was seriously injured. The
latter is reported as improving at the
Reading hospital. Another brother,
lldlIOl, oIoO oil lhCCl Iuho
an engine on the Reading Railroad
between Philadelphia and this city.
On the fatal morning, during the trip
from Philadelphia, James says he
fclt strangely and unaccouhtably
agitated. At 10 o'clock, the very
hour at which Lewis F. Halter was
killed, and George was injured at
TuckertOn, James grew very nervous
as he now relates, and every throb
OF the engine as it sped up the valley
annoyed and unnerved him. He
felt that something had happened,
and was bowed down with apprehen-
sion. When, however, the news
reached him that one of his brothers
was killed aud the other injured, he
bore the shock with remarkable
calmness, and told friend that, in
stead of feeling Mortified, as would
have been natural, he experienced
strange sense of comparative relief.

For Governor.

Boise 8tstcsman.
The HALEY TIMES OF July 30th
says: Governor Shoup assured .
TIMES reporter that he was not in
the field rs candidate for Governor.
We do not doubt that the governor
made the statement when asked if
he was candidate for appointment
~ Governor # the Territory. and SO
stated to many men.
Delegate Dubois appreciated the
wishes Of tbs people Of Idaho, how.
ever, and insisted on his appointment,
and Col. Shoup was too good n
Republican and thought too much Of
the welfare of the party and the Ter.
ritory to hesitate about assuming the
responsibilities Of the Office.
There is an almost universal
demand among Republicans that the
Governor head the State ticket, and
while it is no doubt true that he is
not . candidate in the sense OF solicit
ing . nomination; it is equally true
that he will prove a thorn IN the side
Of Democracy, by standing at the head
of tho Republican ticket, provided
tho party make the call on him.

is what call brush land, and is three

dark soil, with marty sub-soil, through
which, in ordinary weather, there is
flow of water toward the lake at the
depth of two feet. An open ditch a 'ong

up with cement so as to be water tight.
Into this the laterals are intersected
every eight feet, extending 100 feet each
way. Each lateral is provided with a
cut off plug close to the main, by which
the flow of water to different parts of the

it's texture and put on new life. Try it.
suppose [ must tell you how | raise
plants to finish with. 1t is quite an easy
matter to raise plants from the first OF
October, or before that time you must
protect from the sun and hard showers.
Get a box or a frame 3x4 feet by three
feet high. Leave the back entire and saw
down the ends slanting to the front, so
as to intersect it about midway it's
height. Take off the front to where the
reduced ends meet it, This leaves box
three feet on back and about eighteen
inches on front. Nail strips on the sawed
ends to keep boards in position, set it in
the shade of tree Or the North side of a
building tai! enough to shade it. If ants
are bad, set it on four small posts or
pins, ill it foot deep with good earth,
fertilize; put in seed, not very thickly,
and keep it well watered. Tack cloth,
Insufficient dimensionst to cover box, onto
the back. Tack roller on the edge fall
ling over the front of the box. Keep the
cloth rolled up, except when q heavy
shower is expected, when it should be let
down until the rain is over. You can do
this or put your plants in small boxes
and move them out and in as occasion
requires. Sow seed in little drill six inches
apart and keep the soil stirred between
the drills. Thin out if quite thick. Bet
ter one good plant than three poor Ones
have no experience in laying of plats
and plans for a kitchen garden, but will
give you, in conclusion, my idea about
it.
Let the plat be near the kitchen, regard
less of the soil, unless much better soil
and other facilities present themselves a
very short distance away. The length of
the plat should considerable more than
the breadth. Reserve, at least, One-half
an acre, and as soon as possible, enclose
it with good chicken and rabbit proof
fence. Walks should be made down the
center, sides and ends. The central walk
may be covered with a grape arbor. If
small fruits are put in, they should be
placed where they will not interfere with
the vegetable crop. No trees should be
allowed in the enclosure. However, trees
large enough to shade the plat may be
left on the south side and all roots re-
moved on side next the garden. | rec
ommend irrigation by sprinklers and
hose.
Points to be remembered:
1. This article is intended for light
soils without irrigation. If irrigation is
used, you may reduce distance between
rows, plants, etc., by, at least, one-third
and leave off frming. Nothing firms like
water.
2. Good preparation is the founda-
tion of sure crop, of which compost is
the backbone.
3. Always firm in planting.
4. Thin crops, keep theground stirred
and firmed.
5. Never Over-crop soil; better, by far,
make mistakei in the opposite direction.
