NEwBERN TwP., April 2O.-The aQ-
ricultural fairs Of Dickinson county
have not been In the past completely
successful but there is no reason why
in the future we should not have dis
plays that will be an honor to the
county.
The recently organized fair associa-
tion Of Lyon county, In order to make
their fair success, has tried to avoid
all the rocks on which the old bark
was wrecked and among the new fea-
lures in their constitution and bylaws
Is q board Of directors distributed
pretty evenly over the county, one
from each township, so that the agri-
cultural interests are to be of para
mount Importance and the others
Iecondary. In this same line the shares
Of stock are Of small par value 80 that
there Is none so poor as to be excluded
from buying on account Of the high
value. And one Of the most impoIt tant
features Is that there is no reasonable
probability Of any one or more persons
being able TO control the management,
as no voting by proxy will be allowed
In selection Of directors, nor will any
stockholder be able to vote more than
ten votes, or per cent Of the entire
stock. The advantage Of this precau-
tion will be apparent to the most casual
observer. 1t Is also set forth in the by
lave that there shall be held on the
last day Of the fair a public sale Of
stock and such other articles and imp
lements as may be offered by exhibitors
and others for the purpose. Such sale
shall be conducted under direction OF
the board Of directors and governed by
such rules and restrictions as they may
provide. The excellence of this
provision will strike every reader.
These features, in my opinion, are the
most complete schemes for a strictly
agricultural fair yet devised. Why
cannot Dickinson county adopt them
and have fair this fall in connection
with the race meeting that shall be a
successp L.P.M,

Mr.. Burton's Visit.

Hon. }. Il. Burton's political address
In the opera house last Saturday even
ing was thoroughly enjoyed by large
audience Of appreciative ladies and
gentlemen. 1t was something more
than the campaign effort Of campaign
speaker; 1t was the eloquent and
studied effort Of man who Is endeav-
oring to lift the discussion Of political
issues to higher plane than 1t has
ever been placed on In this state be-
fore. II was free from abuse of either
men or measures. 1t acknowledged
honesty and integrity to the leaders Of
all parties, not excepting the peoples.
From that standpoint Mr.. Burton
builded his arguments. Not question
ing the good faith, the honesty Of pur'
pose Of the movement, but showing be-
yond a peradventure Of doubt that
iinal results would be most disastrous
He followed Senator Peffer's declared
doctrines to their ultimate conclusions
and showed their utter absurdity, Il
not absolute vlciousness. 1t was 4
speech which did the cause OF good gov
ernment, of true, elevated, courageous
republicanism, great good. 1t should

FOLLOWERS OF JESSE.
The Abileneite and the Wallace
Train Robbers.

A prominent Abilene merchant who
returned this morning from western
Kansas was aboard the Union Pacific
west bound train Saturday night when
1t was attacked by would-be train
robbers, q gang Of toughs that has
been hanging around Wallace.
Late in the evening several citizens
were run to their homes at the point Of
the pistol; as the train pulled In at
l1:l6 the gang at the depot demanded
the money box OF the operator. BY
suddenly extinguisbing the light and
concealiDg the cash box he saved the
money, but came within an ace Of
losing bis life, for q bullet went crash
ing past his head.
The robbers then turned their atten-
tion to the train. Hearing pistol shots
at the station, the passengers were on
their guard before the train stopped,
and as the robbers tried TO board the
train, they were met with drawn weap-
ons. Several shots we're exchanged.
Rocks and track bolts we're hurled
by the robbers and seventeen plate
glass windows were shattered. An
infant was seriously injured by a rock
and shattered glass falling on Its head.
While the excitement was at It's height
tho train pulled out. After firing
again at the station house, the toughs
mounted their horses and fled south.
The Abilene man said his prayers six
times in succession, put his pocketbook
and watch In bis boot and waited for
the worst. He was surprised as well
as pleased 10 escape so easily.
1t is supposed that the tramps are of
the same gang that attacked q U p.
conductor in Abilene last week and
went on west after a short detention
by the officers.

In Decatur, Norton and Phillips the
pastures are two weeks earlier than
usual, buds are starting out we'll, cherry
and early apple trees are beginning to
bloom and early sown spring wheat and
oats are coming up. 1t is in this part
OF the state that the three important
factors OF the weather-rain, Temporal
ture and sunshine-are the most nearly
normal. Farther east the conditions
change and the departures from the
normal become more pronounced, the
rainfall increasing and the deficiency
In temperature and sunshine also
increasing. In the southeast the heavy
rains being confined TO one day have
delayed farm work but little. OatS
are coming up all over the state; corr
planting has hardly begun except In
the extreme south and In the south
western counties. Peach and plum
trees are beginning to bloom In tn,
central counties which are now farinl
quite we'll on pastures. In the extreme
south apples are In bloom.

LIGHT FROM ENTERPRISE.
The Electric Light Problem and the
Mayor's Solution.


The electric light problem which has
for so long bewildered our city fathers
has new solution offered 1t and one
that seems little strange when 1t is
considered that we have q full fedged
plant In our own town.
It is understood that the mayor and
bis advisers have been corresponding
with the Enterprise electric light man
ayers regarding proposition to light
this city with electricity from Enter.
prise. The celectric plant there is
owned by the city and depends on the
river for Its power. It is claimed by
the people Of Enterprise that the arc
lights furnished are superior to those
used here and that electricity can be
transferred to this city by two wires
sufficient to light the whole town at q
low cost. 1t is possible that PROPOSE
tion OF this kind will be submitted to
our council but 1t will be conditioned
on contract for long term of years.
1t Is somewhat remarkable that with
first class electric light plant in the
midst of the city, the mayor and certain
members of the council should seek for
outside supplies instead of patronizing
home industries. The Abilene Electric
Light company is ready to furnish
lights according to the contract now
pending II no unfair conditions are
imposed. The city would do well to
arrange the contract so that 1t is equi-
table aud get the city properly illumin
ated at once.
