Startling Franks of Millionaire
DOusherty OF Buffalo,

Buffalo, n. ", Aug. %. "A COM
mission was appointed here yesterday
to exemine the sanity Of James Do
herty, a millionaire real estate dealer.
Two years ago his wife died. Almost
from the moment of her death he be-
came lunatic. While she was dead
and awaiting burial he sent for a
plumber and ordered natural gas put
into his house, saying that on such an
occ ,sion gas light al ways should be
used. A few weeks later he painted
his handsome three story house with
tar. He has repeated this operation
once every two or three weeks since.
Lees than q month after
his wife's death he bought
q goat and with it in.
stitutad a search for a
new wife. He insisted on bringing
the goat into parlor. snd dining
rooms and required that it should
have every privilege he enjoyed. Mr..
Doughsrty's unsuccessful search for a
bride revealed TO him that white pict-
ure frames were in fashion, and there
upon he purchased brush and white.
wash and daubed everything in his
house white from the parlor furniture
10 the kitchen range. Las. week he
advertised for sale q hands some team.
A stranger bought the horses, giving
in payment . check. The paper has
been found to be worthless. Dough-
erty on being told this tore it in two
and burned it. The stranger cannot
be found. Doughertv was arrested
on Wednesday as an insane person and
is now in the State insane hospital

The frugal graugers who are to de-
lay Areshiug their wheat till their

alliauc, plan of holding the crop for
q rise will turn to the profit Of those
who sell soon ra'her than of those
who wait. For the more general the
adoption of the advice of the Farmers
Alliance the less wheat there will be
to ship, and Consequently the higher
the price. When the reserve grain
comes into the market, as come it

thus just possible that the wheat
which is promptly marketed may
command a higher price than that

As TO THE FAIR.

Notwithstanding the drawbacks
which the heavy storms necessarily
entailed upon the fair which his just
closed, it was a success in almost
every particular aud the fair associa-
ton deserves much credit.
1t is complained, however, by the
agricultural and horticultural part
of the community that not enough
attention is paid to them and that a
much better recognition should be
given them than was the case this
year.
The complaint is not al
together groundless since there
was little or no encouragement
given to this class and that too in q
portion of the state which is conceded
by all to be particularly productive Of
fruit, grain and vegetables. the dis
plays were not only few, but compare
lively speaking hardly worthy of
mention.
Indeed some of the very best ex.
hibitors in former years were conspic.
uous by their absence this year, and
where fruit, vegetables and grain
ought to have been abundantly

THE MAN OF The FAR WEST
On Him Rests the Hope of the Great Re
nul,lie.


On Him Rests the Hope of the Great Re-
public.
There was once a time. happy long
past, when the Ini;:d s,atss held only
men of the North ard men OF the South.
Now, as the country has developed on
broader lines. we nave learned TO think
Of the men OF the East. of the Missis-
sippi Valley. q the Rocky Mountains,
and of the Pacific Coast. as four great
and characteristic groups. East of the
Alleghanies are the oldest Of the COM
monwealths: west of the Sierras are q
chain of young States presenting re-
markabie contrast to the rest of the
Union. California. Oregon and Wash
ington occupy the mountain slopes and
plain-like valleys Of more extensive
region than the whole Atlantic sea-
board States. and here. 10 less than in
the Mississippi Valley. the American
pioneer is establishing immensely pros
porous and powerful communities,
bound closely together by innumerable
bonds of sympathy and interest.
Some one must rae. and in the end
It is the man. Since in the United
States process OF union in great
groups is steadily ~ work. producing
types. all American. an Vet all charac-
teristically different from each other,
the UNDERLYING problem is. " hat sort of
man is the typical man of the
larger group? In the long run,
numbers count. of course, and
the man of the mighty West
Of broad. descending levels. from
Minnesota to Louisiana is coming by
swift steps to- his dominion. Bat there
is a man of the foothills. of the up
lands, OF the champaign country. of the
mountain waller AMI the high wilder
ness, whose power on this continent,
more slowly recognized, may some day
come to mean far more to civilization
than that of any other. Under certain
conditions of national life, the hope of
the Republic might rest upon the men
Of the Alleghanies, the Rockies. the
Sierras and the Cascades. Dat of their
Businesses they might carry a new Cos
pei to the cities and the dead levels of q
worn-out, oyer-cultivat / social order.
The miners camp. thc settlers cabin,
the hillside orchard. the orange planted
acre. the horticultural colony in some
hidden semi-tropic valley OF California,
each and all strengthen the power OF
the great group of States whose people
are essentially men of the uplands. and
add UNNECESSARILY to the breadth and
dignity of American life. California
leads in the list of mountain States, be-
cause IL is the oldest such State west Of
the Mississippi, and. Ike Washington
and Oregon, it borders on the Pacific
ocean That means less now than il
will when the wealth of the Orient
comes to America instead of going to
Europe, but the possession of a sea-coast
always means much. and the man of the
land west of the Sierras knows tn t he
holds one of the gateways into America

Certainly there is no more import

under the head of farmers and the very
title estate Fair" should provide
especially for the entire state and not
alone for those who delight in mere
tests of skill on the race course.
1t must b, remembered in this con.
nection, that the fair association had
many diff .ulties to surmount 1T had
the misfortunes which a former as,o.
citation had fallen heir to, through

of faith on the part of the people; it
b d expenses which were very heavy
and hard to bear and il
was obliged to use every m ans which
ingenuity and careful management
could invent to put it on q paying
basis. Now, however, that this has
been accomplished, it would be we'll
to make better provision, for those
who would undoubtedly come to the
front with exhibits worthy of the oc'
clsion.
For the benefit Of the ladies, also,
better premiums should be offered for
products in their line and better &C.
commodations should b, given them.
I, should be remembered that cakes,
bread, etc., cannot properly be taken
care of without glass cases and
that the same are necessary
for the protection Of needlework and
other fancy articles which are calcu.
lated to encourage their skill. 1t is
quite useless, too, to expec, the display
of really fine works Of art, without an
especially arranged hall for their re-
ceptiou. 1t is, of course, altogether
probable, that the fair ASSOCIATE m
will in time rectify at least most Of
the above causes for com.
plsiut. but if possible
it should next year, provide in meas.
ure at least for better displays in the
several departments mentioned, not
only for the encouragement of those
