The Captain Wilted.

In the east the town of Castine has
always been noted for turning out the
greatest crowds on the steamboat
wharf to greet the incoming boats of
any place on the coast of Maine. The
City OF Richmond and the Bangor
boats are always greeted with enor-
nous gatherings, and in this connec-
ton good story is told of the ever
popular Charles Deering, who COM
manded the Lewiston on that route.
One of his passengers once asked hin,
the number of inhabitants of Castine.
Being told eleven hundred by the
captain, the traveller doubted his word
and said he had just counted fifteen
hundred on the wharf. The cap.ain
had no moro to say.-Lewiston

The Nebraska State Fair.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept 6.-The OK.
hibits at the state fair are not yet in
shape, but they will be by Monday,
and the exposition will then practically
commence. About one-half of the
counties in the state will make exhib-
its, and each one is endeavoring to
cItdO the other. 80
Nemaha county has $50 exhibits of
grains, fruits and vegetables. Stanton
and Perkins have also fine displays,
while Richardson county has specimens
OF winter wheat which will weigh six
ty-five pounds to the bushel, and oats
which will weigh forty-two pounds to
the bushel. There are over one hun
dred specimens of different kinds of
timber grown in Richardson county.
The sugar beet display from Grand
Island promises to be one of the inter-
esting features of the fair. An entire
wing of the agricultural hall is to be
devoted to this exhibit. Every feature
and decoration Of this department. is
entirely of beets. I

large exhibit promised. Messrs. Me-
CHAN and Lyman built large reser-
voir in the center which is filled with
water for ducks. and around it will be
a profusion of flowers. A fountain
spouting a stream fifteen feet high has
been placed in the middle of the pond.
Lincoln has carried out her obliga-
tions incurred by the relocation of the
state fair by erecting number OF
buildings among which is the art hall,
pagoda-like structure situated north
OF the old art hall. Externally it has
the appearance of a three-story build
ing, and the exterior is most pleasing
in its arrangements. 1t will be de-
voted exclusively to art work Of all
kinds. The old art hall has been re-
christened mercantile hall and is to be
devoted to the display Of Lincoln mer-
chants. - J

A Dainty and Useful Table.

The daintiest little writing table
ever saw was shown to me a few days
since, and very much l admired it,
particularly when l heard that it was
designed for yacht, in which place
it would be perfectly in keeping and
would serve no fewer than five pur-
poses. 1t was made of enameled wood,
shaped in the form of screen on cas-
tors, so that it could be moved into
any position in the room. In the front
were two shelves for books, and above
was a closed up shelf which when
dropped formed a writing table, with
pigeon holes for letters and papers be-
hind. The back of the screen was
also destined for utility, and combined
a teacup shelf and receptacle for
music, manuscripts or needlework.-

A Self Winding Clock.

w. W. Bradley, now master me-
chanic of the Dueber Watch Case COM
pany, of Canton o., has invented an
electric self winding synchronizing
clock. This clock has been SO design
ed that it has but five wheels and runs
without springs. AS a time keeper it
is almost perfect, showing a variation
of only four seconds in fifty-five days,
which leaves it without a rival as a
time keeper. Sealed up it will for
two years register true time, the SYM
chronizer recti ying the few seconds
variation. Another admirable feature
and one that will count in service, is
the automatic electrical switch lock,
enabling the operator at the observa-
tory, or wherever the master clock is
located. to have full control OF all the
clocks connected by wire to the mater
clock.-New York Journal.

THE last campaign in the state was
made memorable by the abomniable ac-
ton of the democratic state central
committee. George Hutchins, the
eighteen year old son of DR.. L. Il.
Hutchins, was employed as clerk at
republican headquarters. Messrs, Full
len and Lee, respectively Chairman and
Secretary of the democratic committee,
sought the company of this young man,
gave him vile Yhiskey to drink, and
when he was under its influence. paid
him money to steal from republican
headquarters letters that had been
written in confidence to the chairman.
There was nothing in any of these Let.
tiers of which the writers or republicans
need be ashamed. There were ON sub
jects Of business, and in every way
business like. But the action of these
star democrats in debauching a young
man has been condemned on every
hand, by republicans and democrats ~
well. None can sympathize with or
commend such action. The republican
chairman was at fault only for having
fledglings in his employ.

Renew the Contest.

The contest of 1891 is to be the most
strenuous struggle for political control
of Iowa that has ever taken place in
the state. Therefore every Republican
club and committee should be kept in
constant marching order and ready to
meet the enemy at every point. The
Golden Club, with its unlimited Doodle,
began the Presidential campaign of
1892 in the congressional elections of
this year. 1t will fight next years bat
ties within state boundaries, hoping to
gain power within states that can be
maintained in the National struggle of
1892. The Golden Club is a combina-
ton of British capitalists and manu-
facturers that is striving to gain free
entry into the best market in the world.
The many millions of dollars of duties
that they have been paying to the
United States during the past twenty
nine years show how greatly they value
the markets of the worlds greatest
nation and they are now determined to
break down every barrier that stands
between them and the consumers of
the United States, if money can do it!
They have valuable aid in the wealthy
importers of this Nation, who have
tilched their illgotten millions through
organizations that have controlled the
foreign trade and regulated prices in
their own interest, and are now highly
exasperated over the great benefits to
be derived by the laborers and produ-
GERS of this Nation through the new
Mckinley protective tariff law increas-
ing the duties on all foreign products
which compete with American labor,
and thus decreasing their enormous
profits,
The combination of Golden Clubs
and importers is strongly reinforced in
Iowa by the brewers and distillers, who
are making common cause with the
British clubs and thesI who toll all for,
eign goods as they enter the ports OF
the Nation so heavily, in the desperate
struggle to gain political control in this
state. This is the combination OF
boodlers that Iowa Republicanism
must face in next years campaign
All three Of the elements composing
this unequalled aggregation Of Doodle
are enormousl y wealthy and they are
seeking to gain control of Iowa in order
that they may still more largely in
crease their receipts from those whc
purchase their goods. The Republi
cans of this state have defeated the
brewers and distillers in several strong
ly contested campaigns; they have de
feated the combination of Golden
Clubs, importers, brewers and distillers
this year, but still more hotly contest
ed field will have to be met next year
The campaign of 1891 is the opening
of the Presidential contest OF the fol.
lowing year and struggle for the
maintenance of non partisan .prohibi,

American laborers and producers, hap,

arrayed against the Republicans of this

Iowa Horse Prospects.

We notice that at Scottish horse
fair held in Scotland prices ranged
from $500 to $500 for work horses.
Here is new field for our farmers.
The raw material that grows a horse
is the same here as there-grass and
grain. Both are much cheaper here
than there. Williams has demonstrate
ed that Iowa can grow first rate horse
AS soon as the home market is supplied
there is q new one waiting over the
water, in most of the European coun-
tries. Good, strong, well-built horses
from well bred sires will be in demand
abroad just as soon as We are ready to
export them. OF course the light
weight horse is not wanted unless he
has speed. The l 400 grade draft, the
stylish coach and carriage horse and
the saddle horse are all in demand
abroad. We have not supplied the
home market yet, however, Canada has
been sending horses over here in prefer
ehce 10 Sehulng them 10 Europe, which
shows that the home market is better
than the foreign. The lately passed
tariff act will give us the advantage in
our home market on horses, and prices
will sensiply appreciate. We can and
we will supply home demand just as
soon as our farmers patronize first class
breeders. We will never advance an
inch with the undersized stallion, nor
with anything but the best imported
or home bred horses that transmit their
excellence, any more than we can grow
progress with scrub cattle. The signs
are numerous that progress is being
made. All encouragement can be held
out to our farmers as long as Iowa
grows the cheapest grass and grain
