A Voluntary Contribution From Life
Long NeighbOr.
A Rune or Ruin Spirit, and Constant
Sucker at the Public Teat.

To The Public:
Though two years ago w. o. With
erspOOn claimed that the very
milk he drank was Democratic, and
that even the cradle in which he was
rocked was the same, he now comes
before the people singing the siren
song of the Third party man.
TIE idea of such demoralizing
man asking the people who know
him to elevate him to the high office
of Congressman.
His ambition and his greed are
alike Unsuitable. He has been sup
ported 10y public money ever since he
was eighteen years of age. First he
was elected Magistrate Then he
was first deputy Sheriff for four
years, and for fCur years more was
sheriff.
Chis rich cream might have aatie-
fled the average man, but the next
we hear of him he is running II
Wheeler store and receiving good
fat salary. Sti.lnot satisfied, as soon
Wheeler Governor gets in he makes
another grab for the public teat and
is appointed coal oil inspector, for
which lie is now drawing salary.
And yet he is unsatisfied and calls for
more and still richer cream.
we'll over this matter before they de-
termine to cast their vote for this
man. Let them remember no Y loud
and how Jften they have heard him
claim to be a Democrat. Look where
he is now. Would any true Demo
crat attempt TO demOralIZe the party
as he is dol G? Was he not one of
the leaders of the Democratic pri-
msries two ears ago?
That was when he had thirst for
little more of that rich cream. But
his friends were too few and far
apart to serve him. He said then THAI
Democracy was his God, and that he
would lose his right arm before he
would betray it. Now he is candi
date on the Third party ticket. Can
you vote for that kind of man?
One of his frieuds asked me il /
was not surprised at his coming out
on that ticket. | said no, / WAS not
surprised st q drowning man grab
bfng st straw, / don't zee how any
body can be surprised who has kept
up with his political record. First q
Republican, second true Democrat,
third a Wheeler, from head to foot,
and now he Il trying to get little
more of that same rich cream he
loves so well, by running rs Third
y
reach for that cream it is in differ
rni party,
He has made family thing OF all
his Offices every time. He claims to
be poor mans friend. If l would,
[ could enumerate some Of his "poor
mans favOrs" and you would say he
| was poor mans enemy.
Now Democrats, let's put our
shoulders to the wheel and elect a
Democrat to Congress. His click
claim that he will carry the TWEEN
tieth district. But l tell you to wait
and see, for have heard others than
his friends express theiF opinion.
He wouldn't carry it if you all knew
him as well as l do. l was raised in
one mile of him and have known
him from bOybood. He is made OF
this kind Of material; he WILL rule

South Side Pnrk.

Work is rapidly progressing on the
new stables at South Side and Presi-
dent Farrell will have every thing in
fine shape for the next week.
The indications point 10 large at
tendance both in people and exhibits.
The fair which has always been close
To the people, is even more SO now
since their recent heavy loss, and il
the weather continues good there
will be an unusually large crowd
present each day.
In addition to premiums offered in
the catalogue, superintendent Rains
has issued circular of new and re-
vIsed list of premiums which embrac-
- products of tue farm, garden and
orchard also for fruits and poultry.
The culinary department is large and
gives every house keeper in the
country an opportunity to show her
skill. The art, childrens, flower and
other departments are all up to high
standard in premiums offered, and
will no doubt be well filled. Ladi es
may now go from the upper promo
made of tho grand stand to the upper
story of the Floral Hall, over the
bridge lately put up. This is time
~ and most important change, and
"ill he highly appreciated by the
ladies and young people.
Secretary Thomas is thoroughly at
home in his duties and has the book
in good shape and all the minutiae
Of his work ready. He will be as
sisted by Mora Fariss.
Nothing helps the farming and live
stock interests OF a county better
than a successful fair, and it is safe to
say that this one will be fully up to
the high standard OF our past fairs.

The Trustees Sale Monday.

A considerable crowd assembled
here Monday mt the sale by ID. $.
Thomas, trustee of Major w. =. In
gram, and considering the stTingency
of money, the prices realized were
reasonably fair.
The Cecil farm, l07 acres near Mt.
Pleasant, was sold to Willis Jones for
$25 per acre. The store house and lot
at Bigbyville, was bid of by Mora
Faris for $65. The house is in "A very
dilapidated condition and IL is only
the lot which is Of any value.
Twelve head of horses were sold,
most Of them at tolerably good
figures. The aggregate amount OF the
sale Of the horses was $ll34. The
bids on the Sawdust Valley farm
were too low to justify sale and 1t
was therefore withdrawn from the
auction.
After the sale of trustee Thomas,

Cost of a Pound of Butter Fat.

In the pamphlet on Red Polled Cat
tie, of which mention is made IN an
other column, Mr.. Hill says:
"The OHIO State Fair requires from
each exhibitor in the dairy test,
sworn statement as to the amount OF
feed consumed for two weeks PRIOR 10
the test, by each cow entered. By
examining the records for the past
three years we find the following
facts: The jersey cow having The
largest record III three years produced
4 CG pounds of butter fat and con-
sumed IS pounds of grain feedi the
Holstein COW which made the highes:
record in three years produced 4.Si
rounds OF butter fat and consumed
IS pounds of grain feed; The Short
Horn COW which made the highest
record In these three years produced
80 hounds of butter fat and consumed
so pounds of grain feed; the Red
Pooled COW making the highest rec
ord produced 5.l5 pounds OF butter
fat and consumed 81 pounds OF grain
feed he Red PoIled cow showing
the largest percentage of butter fat,
i'm proportion to the grain fed, OF any
breed tested at the Ohio State Fair in
three years.
If we estimate the grain fed at
twenty dollars a ton, the expense ior
feed is as follows: The Holsteins
consumed sixteen cents III grain to
produce one pound of butter tat; the
Short Horn consumed ID cents worth
Of grain to produce one pound OF
butter fat; the Jersey consumed ll.S2
cents in grain to produce one pound
Of butter fat; the Red Polled con-
suned II o. cents in grain 10 produce
| "A -,,rrrpH If Inttpr fat
1t will be seen from the above that
the Jersey and the Red Polled made
the cheapest pound of butter, by over
| four cent? But there are other con-
sidaratiOns in the above trial not
brought out. One of them is that the
Jersey COW will milk longer ana
steadier during the year than either
of the other breeds. 1t has been
/ thoroughly demonstrated that she
viii! come nearer milking year in and
year out than any COW. Another
! iioint not noticed above is that all oil
| these cows were fed largely on grain
| Had they not been, it is probable that
the Holsteiu COW would have given
| far less butter than she did; whereas
there are hundreds Of Jersey COWS
with records of over 14lbs OF butter
per week on grass alone.

fairfield Pnrk. Chicago.

There is a great deal of trouble
brewing in Chicago over the Garfield
running track According TO the
city law it may be closed up as a
nuisance, and the police have re-
peatediy tried TO do SO. Last week
TO the number of over five hundred
strong they raided the track, arrest
ing the Jockeys, Judges and horse
men. Capt. J. NJ. Brown, of Texas,
a millionaire horsemRn and noted
character, resisted arrest, and after
killing two policemen was himself
shot and killed. Brown NH- a nOteU
figure i'll horse and political circles
in Texas, ten years ago, when lie WAS
elected sheriff of his county there
At that time the law-abiding people
were i'll the minority ana horse
thieves and gamblers had the county
But he cleaned them out, Killing
twelve men in as many fights and
putting his county among the first in
Texas for law-abiiing people.
While at Garfield Park looking
after his interests the police at
tempted to arrest him. He saw no
reason why he should be arrested aud
turned 10 walk Oft, A policeman
followed him and firOd shot, cover
his head il is said) to stop him. This
was n very foolish act Of the police
man, as Brown had no reason but to
suppose the shot WAS fired to Xiii,
and 10 q man raised as he was, II
meant the use of his own weapon in
self defense. The unfortunate officer
had not low cred his weapon before
he received Browns bullet in his
heart and he fell. dead without a
struggle. Another officer rushed UP
and lie met the same fate, Brown on
ly succumbing after being surrounded
and shot to death,
\ political turn was given to the
affair by the mayor OF Chicago tesll-
| rying in court that the chief OF police
! had submitted to him a proposition
| from officers OF a rival race track
offering $4,000 for the Republican
campaign fund il they would close
up Garfield Park.
These disgusting events have only
made the people determined TO put
an end to the racing at the park, IL
being within the city limits aud con-
trary to law. The death Of Brown Is
much regretted, since he was brave,
determined, but no doubt misguided
! fellow. 1t looks now like the death
of all three of these men might have
been avoided had the mayor and
chief Of police acted with more tore,
thought and had not been divided
among themst Ives. Nevertheless the
track will now have To 60, and lew
there be who wi regret it,
