THE FAIR.
Good Attendance and Races-POor Ex-
bjbit.

hibit.
Hand county's 5th annual fair last week
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, was
scarcely up TO former achievements. The
exhibits We're very small in the grain,
vegetable and fruit departments, al
though the quality shown was ample evI-
dence that Haud county raised a crop.
And the merchants did not see tit 10 help
out the hall display In this respect we
have only this TO say: The fair manag
ers did all consistent With good judgment
and courtesy to get the people OF Hand
county to exhibit whatever they bad, but
those who had plenty to exhibit thought
lit was not worth the trouble
II one half the people in attendance AZ
the far had each brought something to
exhibit last weeks exhibition would have
been the best OF hve.
The stock department was as usual very
good, showing improvement from year to
year.
The main interest, of course, centered
in the races, and there were more and bet
ter horses hero than ever before. The
free for-all running race brought such
good horses as Midnight, Sleepy Ned.
Boaz and Bob Lee. The race was won By
Sleepy Ned in 81 and 524 considered very
fast for the track; Midnight second. Lee
third. Bonz went lame and wds with
drawn.
Pierce's team. of washington, won the
double team trot in 3i3.
Judge Fuller's black filly won the three
year old pace in $40, l.. Por ter's colt
second.
Bob McCarthy's sorrel pony Won the
novelty race, taking the quarter, half,
three. quarter and mile, McGowan's pony
second, Collins third,
The free -for-all pony race was won by
Belle X, BonIface second.
The Hand county running race was
captured by Ed Miller's blizzard, "
Fletch Rustons Dell" second and Saw
yers ''Elshem" third. Best time So,
The free -for-all trot was won by q
Chamberlain horse, two Redfield horses
being second and third,
So far as finances were concerned this
fair is ahead of former ones. All pre-.
mi ums will be paid in full.

Influence of the Most Remarkable Char
acter of the Eighth Century.
The yelled prophet was not crea-
ton of mere fancy but genui ne his
toric character of the eighth century.
His name was Saukim Ben Allah, but
he called himself NJ okanna the Yelled.
Having lost one eye from an arrow
wound, he wore thick veil to conceal
the deformity, and laid claim to be an
incarnation of the d city. He had many
followers in Arabia, and soon possessed
himself of a large part of that country,
and was acknowledged by a number of
cities. His influence was retained by
many devices, such being his skill in
magic and legerdcmain that his tricks
passed for miracles.
Troops were sent against him by the
Calipu-M ahadi, his armies were de-
feated in the field, and he was beseiged
in n %nall fortress in the south of
Arabia. Finding success i'm possible and
deeming escape hopeless, he poisoned
his attendants in n banquet and leaped
into well or cistern which had been
partly filled with destructive acids
When the conquerors forced e way into
the castle they searched in vain for him
or his body, the latter having been en-
tirely dissolved by the corrosive fluids.
The secret was discovered by the con-
:ession of one who had beheld the prep
arations for suicide; but in some parts OF
Arabia there are still persons who be-
lieve that Mokanna assembled to Heaven.

apartment where there were two small
iron bedsteads with rolled up mat
