"From Sire to Son"

''That Mr. Milton MOBILES is man of
more than ordinary versatile talents has
long been conceded. For several years
he has enjoyed popularity in eccentric
comedy dramas of his own writing, and
has shown disposition to improve the
quality of the work, both as player and
writer. He has reached plane, in his
last plav, From Sire to Son." that must
entitle him to more respect than many of
tic casual critics have seen fit to accord
him in the past. The play is not only the
best work of the author, but it is work OF
quality to indicate yet greater POSSIBLE
tiles with this particularly ambitious
dramatist."

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Sept. 1.-THE first
day. The utmost enthusiasm was shown
by both political parties. but it is doubt
full if the vote will be very large. The
Australian ballot system was introduced
for the first time, and with it the regis
tration system. Until within few
days it was understood that the law COLI
tanned clause to the effect that when
through absence or illness anybody
failed to register they would be per-
mitted to swear in their votes on cleo
tion day. Although clause to this
effect passed both houses of the last leg
islature and appears i'll both journals, for
some inscrutable reason it fails to appear
in the enrolled copy of the law or in the
printed copy. This omission disfran-
chised very large number of voters.
In 1888 the total vote cast was 1S,00S.
Carey Rep.) for delegate in congress
receiving a majority of 2,942. AT this
hour 40 p. n.y. it is very difficult to tell
much about the result. Some of the
precincts are over $50 miles from the
county seats, and comparatively little
can be heard from them. The Repub-
licans claim the state by 1900, while the
Democrats claim it by from 800 to 1,500.
This is on the governorship. The belief
here is that the Republicans stand a
better chance of securing the legisla-
tive ticket than the governor.

annie county have been received. They

Dairy Surnrises.

The dairy hall was crowded yester-
day with farmers wives and farmers
daughters, all anxious to learn new
wrinkles in the art of butter making.
The United States butter extractor was
the cynosure of all eyes. This is looked
upon by the farmers as almost miracle,
and some have hard work to believe
their senses as they behold the milk
flowing in at one end and the butter
cOmiug forth at a spout little lower
down. They regret having spent years
of hard labor skimming milk and churn-
ing for the butter which is so easily OBJ
tanned by this machine. They wish
that the invention had come at an ear
lier date. This wonderful machine ar
rived this morning and was working
this afternoon. The capacity of this
machine is 1,6OO pounds per hour.
Judge Dexter, of Chicago, began his
fine Italian work in the dairy depart
ment yesterday morning. His assistant
is S. M. Bohrer, of st. Paul. Judge
Dexter speaks in the highest terms of
the dairy exhibit. Butter and cheese
houses from all over the state have ex-
hibits in this department and all make
a creditable showing.
G. E. Sherin's drove of ponies took
first premium in the pony class, and
his stallion, Prince Royal, captured the
sweepstakes. These awards have been
falsely stated to have been conjured on
the EXmOOr herd.

A HIGH TRIBUTE.
Judge Macdonald IndOrses the
Nomination of Hall,

When ex-Corgressman j. l.. MacDon-
aid learned of the nomination of Hon.
D. NJ. Hall for congress last evening he
said warmly: "The nomination is one
of the best that could have been made.
Hon. o. NJ. Hall is in every way quail
fed for the position, and, if elected, will
represent the district creditably. He
is an original tariff reformer, and has
made that subject a study, and no one is
better able to discuss the tariff. The
people of the Third district have the
tariff question now squarely presented
to them FOR their decision, by their
votes, in the present campaign. Con-
gressman D. s. Hall voted for the Nc
Kinley bill. and asks reelection be-
cause he did so, while his opponent, o.
M. Hall. asks an election as an avoWed
enemy of that bill or any such measure
of protection. The issue is sharply de-
fined, and the people of that district
must now say whether they are for high
tariff, to benefit trusts and monopolies,
or for tariff for revenue only, with in
cidental protection. There should be
no doubt as to the reSult,'

A March Past.

Promptly at 1: 80 the horses that have
won prizes during the Fair were
marched past the grand stand in pro-
cession. There were some magnificent

lowing the band came prairie wagon
containing the Fair directors. Then
game the animals. Leonard Bros. of
Mortified, made first-rate show with
their Percheron stock and English and
French draught horses. De Lancey's
lot showed off well, and G. w. Baird's
were no less splendid lot of animals.
The cayalcade was almost quarter of
a mile long, and certainly it was one of
the features of the Fair. The stand was
crowded to witness the exhibition, and
that it was appreciated was made plain
ly evident by the continued applause.

Time 2:22 2:2424. 2:2O.


For the 2:20 class trot there were three
starters, j. F. Benson's Sharper, Peter
Garrity's Bro. Dan and j. l.. Ryan's
Marvel. Sharper won the first and sec
ond heats easily from Marvel second
and Brother Dan poor third. In the
third heat it became plainly apparent
to even the smallest boy on the course
that the race was jobbed. Sharper went
away in the lead, but broke badly in the
first quarter, and could not find his feet
anywhere in the next 100 yards. Brother
Dan and Marvel led by the latter dis
tance at the half, but deliberately
slowed down and were passed by
Sharper at the turn into the stretch, the
latter finishing first by three lengths.
Starter Grattan called the driver
of Dan and Marvel to account in severe
terms for the way in which the heat
was driven. Such methods he said
were disgrace to the men implicated.
and to allow such a record on the books
would be disgrace to the fair associa-
ton. The race was postponed until to-
day, the final heat being decided no
heat. Judge Grattan remarked that
before the race was called this after
noon he would decide what penalty to
infiict on the drivers who had been
guilty of such work as that just wit
messed. The first heat was trotted in
2:19%, the second in 2:204, and 1t
took 2:30 to 90 the third.

on and delivered an eloquent address,
paying tribute to the devotion and
patriotism of the Democracy of Scott

manner. Hon. E. A. Child, chairman
of the committee on resolutions, at this
time announced that his committee was

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 1.-THE Re-
publican state convention met at Butte
to-day. The only business before the
convention was nominating candidate
