The October Fair,

The Stafford Springs Agricultural Soci- ety preparatory to the 24th annual exhibi- tion, will make decided improvements to its grounds. First the building in the centre of the grounds will be converted into stable containing IS box stalls. This year it will be occupied by the 20 horses of Myrtle Peak, the famed eques- trienne, who will give exhibitions of her horsemanship and of her trained animals several times during each day of the fair, being probably the greatest feature ever introduced into country fair in New Eng land, and their first appearance outside of the large cities of the United States.
 Further improvements will be all exten- sion of 60 feet upon Horticultural Hall, making the entire building 120x30 with a 3Ox60 basement room under the east end. This will give room for the entire hall exhibit in all departments within one room. Either the present main building or the new basement room will then be taken for dining room, the one not so used being then devoted to the poultry exhibit, etc.
 The leading attraction of the fair, as stated above, will be the Myrtle Peak combination, added to which will be ex- hibits of trained animals, athletics, etc. Miss Peak drives her celebrated trotter, Silvertail, record last year at Cleveland, |, Ohio, beside running mate, 2.07. Her trick horse, Boston, has no equal in his line, also high jumping and running horses, etc., of which features we shall speak further hereafter. The three days will be full of entertainment, and those who remain away on any day will miss something good.

Norwich Bulletin: President Harrison has issued his proclamation ordering the collection of a toll of twenty cents per ton upon all Canadian freight passing through St. Mary's canal after September 1. The Canadian scheme has been to order toll of twenty cents ton on all freight pass ing through their WeIland canal, and then to pay back eighteen cents out of every twenty to shippers sending their freight by Canadian vessels to Canadian ports for transhipment, keeping the en tire twenty cents collected from American shippers on American freights. The proclamation is simply very mild case of 'ssimilia similibus." There's more of the same sort of medicine in bottles handy to the presidents reach.

Editor Guernsey is one of the veteran journalists of the state, loves the work and takes pride in recent and important additions to the machinery and implements of the Press office. Widely known among his state editorial brethren and most thoroughly enjoying their respect and confidence, they are glad to see evidences of the home appreciation that enables him to afford these improvements.

IT is still, very still, on the surface of politics, but the forces are at work un- derneath. Don't flatter yourself that it is to be still campaign. Both parties are resolved to get there, but in these days of reactions, when people read, observe and reflect, you can't always tell just what conclusion they have come to. They are studying the effect of the Mckinley bill just now, and of the policy voiced in the declaration that the republican policy of protection is fraud. And in Connecti- cut the jury is studying also on the mat ter of the late deadlock, the disputed bal lots, and whether the senate or the house is in the right

GENUINE war has been raging Ill l Ien- nessee. A body of angry miners determ- ined to release corps of convicts engaged in mining, as the laws of Tennessee re- quired. Gov. Buchanan shrank from the situation, but Gen. Anderson of the state militia, with little band of heroes, de- tended the camp successfully against overwhelming odds until succor came. Through treacherous use of flag of truce Gen. Anderson was made prisoner, and given his choice between dying or sending a written order to his men to surrender. He deied the outlaws, and they shrank from the crime of his murder. Many of the rioters were killed, and few of the soldiers. Peace is now restored, and the ringleaders in custody. The incident re- calls period in not very remote history in which figured another Anderson who hadn't. Gov. Buchanan had recently came into unenviable repute for having saved from the gallows H. Clay King, 8 murderer, who deserved to be left to his fate.
 THE switchmen's strike, at Buffalo, is still on, but is likely to be failure. The Erie and Central roads are running trains, protected by the militia, and with pro- tected non-union men at the switches. The only hope of the strikers has lately been in sympathy strikes on other roads and of other unions, especially of the firemen's union. Their hope of this is dying out. The engineers and fi1emens unions have had their strengthbecause of conservative and judicious management, and fair dealings with employing agents. They are not going to fool away their strength in sympathy strikes of doubt full justification. P. S.-The strike is de- clared off and the strikers are scrambling after their old places. The leaders esti- mate that owing to the desire of the rail- roads to have experienced men, 50 per cent. of the old hands will be reinstated
 NOTHING "EPIDEM1o" ABOUT TIA good deal of nonsense is a1oat just now in the common talk of men and even in the writings of professional commentators about ''the new epidemic of labor troub- les," which, it is said, has come upon us this summer. There is nothing epidemic about it and, in essentials, nothing unu- sual. The strikes of the current year, though more extensive and violent than usual, are not appreciably greater in num- Der than is frequently the case; and it is only by a coincidence that the very seri- ous trouble at Homestead was not fully settled before an equally serious outbreak occurred at Buffalo. There is no more connection between these two than there is between the first strike ordered by the Knights of Labor years ago and the. last ''tie-up" undertaken by the employees of the Meriden, Conn.,, street railway. Con- se1uently it is useless to look in special contemporary conditions of any kind, social, economic or political, for the fun damental cause of the labor troubles which are just now filling so large place in the public eye.-ProUide'sce Journal.

Big ASSAYS.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec. Is.
-Assayer Giles Pearce made another
test upon the Bacon ore, which was
from the region of the Spanish Peaks.
Ten hundred and eighty grains of ore
treated gave 30G grains of pure gold,
or S13.13. This was two and two
fifths assay tons or ore. In the res
tort there was 500! millegrammes
of pure gold, so there were 5000
ounces of pure gold per ton obtained
as the result, or in dollars ard cents
per ton thus, S166, 645. 82l. This
mineral zone reaches from Mosca
pass in Colorado south to the old
Elizabethtown placers in New Mex
leo, and lies upon and along the
eastern slope of the main range of
mountains, the Point Stone Wall
being about half way from either end
of the zone. This is on the tract Of
land known as the Maxwell grant,
and it is understood that that com
pany is relinquishing claims at SIS
each.

Who Stole the Books!

When Wade King died he left
quite a number of books in his room
belonging to his brother, Judge Sam
King
1t has recently been discovered
that somebody has broken into the
house where the books were left and
taken them away. Children who
live near the house state that they
saw two men one day 60 to the
house and break in the window.
Shortly afterwards the two men took
the books away in a wheelbarcow.
This was all done in broad daylight.
The District Attorney should see
that the matter is thoroughly inves-
tigated.

Open Your Sack.

sack of roasting ears, and after lin
gering around town all day came
home without selling them. When
his mother asked him why he had
not sold the corn, he said 10 one
asked what he had in his sack.
There are many merchants like this
little boy. They have plenty of
goods for sale but they fail to tell
what is in their sack. If you ex-
pect to sell goods in this day and age
of the world you must open your
sack and keep shouting the merits Of
your stock in trade.

How He Escaped.

The failure of the jury to convict
Eastman the forger, has been rather
severely commented on by some poe
pie who do not understand the facts
of the case.
There was no doubt whatever Of
the guilt of the defendant, who got
Sl25 through his draft endorsed by
Cohr. Eastman WAS in 1925 and
Cohn was out that amount,
The evidence of the letters and
kilograms FROM the New York house
on which the draft was drawn was
ruled cut by the court because the
evidence was not properly authenti-
Gated, the District Attorney having
failed to look after this important
point. The fault was not therefore
with the jury but in the lack'of prop
er prosecution.

SANDUST FOR HOGS.
A Very Important Discovery for
Ranchers.

There is talk Of cree -ing a 9ist..l-
cry i'll Truckee to make an alcoholic
beverage cut Of sawdust The scheme
has been laughed at, but the projects
ors are in earnest.
The writer had curious expert
ence recently with sawdust as a hog
fattener. Last Fall he purchased
fifty sacks of sawdust from the box
factory to fill in between the walls Of
a root house, und about the same
time quantity of bran in sacks.
4 boy on the ranch who had charge
Of the hogs was directed 70 feed bran
to them mixed with their swirl, and
carpenter was started III on the root
house, The two got the bran and
sawdust sacks mixed up, being stored
III the same place, and the result was
that the bran was tamped into the
hollow walls of the root house, and
the sawdust was mixed in the pigs
swill and fed to them for about two
months.
The hogs fattened very fast on this
diet, and are now rolling fat. The
hogs that got the most sawdust are
by far the latest.
There is no doubt that pine wood
contains alcohol, and probably this is
what caused the hogs to fatten SO
rapidly.

THE GOVERNORS VIEWS
Regarding the Depression Of SilTer
in Nevada.

/
Governor Co.oord has been inter
viewed in San Francisco regarding
the present depression Of silver
Speaking of the newspaper dispatch
stating that nearly all CT the quartz
mills on the Carson river are shut
down end that there Is d general de-
preston in Nevada owing to the low
price of silver, the Governor said:
'.This is all true, and may add
that we have not now dividend
paving silver nine in Nevada. Not
one of the Comstock mines Is paying.
The Consolidated Virginia has not
paid dividend for five or six months.
1t is taking out $50, coo or $1,000 &
mouth, but the expenses are more
than this Many mine are not work
ing at all. There are no additional
expenses, either, and no holding over
of dividends purposely. The sltua-
ton is this: With silver reduced to
between 80 and So cents, as it has
been lately and is now, they cannot
work the mines at profit with the
low grade of ores, of which we have
many. Silver at such prices cuts
both ways. We will have to find
higher gaaae Of ore or cease mining.
Il still have hopes that the Bruss
els conference will fix such uniform
ratio Of Value to gold that We can 60
on, They may not fix Il at 16 to j
as now, but even Is or 10 to l would
be much better than it is. Il the
other countries Of the world do not
agree g. uniform ratio, then | am
in favor Of prohibiting all other silver
from entering the United States and
coming our own. This would help
us considerably, | think, although
Senator Stewart and some other sill
yer advocates have different views.
I'm the absence of anything being
done and silver remaining as it is, the
Nevada miners must turn their at
tention to agriculture. The mining
camps viii be depopulated. There
is no such thing as supposins the
miuers can work. All the mills on
the Carson river are now idle except !
the Brunswick, Nevada and Nor
gan, and those, instead Of represent
ing 32S stamps as they would if sill
yer were only at fair price, repre-
sent actual'- hut &C stamps"
