Never before during the thirty yeArs that
the farmers have been holding their annual

crowd was variously estimated at from three
TO six thousand persons and II was certainly
nearer the latter than the former number.
II was r representative farmers gathering
and was composed Of persons from ali sec
lions Of the county, many Of them having
travelled twenty miles in order to be present.
Barring the dusty roads aud high wind that
prevailed. the day was an ideal one 10 spend

provided with all kinds of amusements and
those present who failed u have a good

THE GUN KICKED.
And That Was the Cause of Carlisle's
Trouble

Washington, September 1S.-The sur.
gic,,l operation that was thought nee
essary a week or so ago to remove the
lump that had formed on the upper
part of Secretary Carlisle's right arm,
while not supposed to be a serious mat
ter in any way, was still to serious
for Mrs Carlisle to regard it with any
favor.
When the secretary announced that
he was going to have the lump cut out
she reasoned him out of that idea, at
least until she would apply a course of
old-faShioned home treatment and rub
hing. She has been so successful in
her diagnosis that the bothersome lump
has almost completely disappeared
and, of course, all the pain and the
annoyance with it.
Secretary Carlisle dates the com
mencement of the pain in his arm to
his visit to the worlds fair in July last
In company with Il party of friends he
took turns shooting at a target. His
rifle did some violent kicking" and
Immediately thereafter he felt twinges
of sharp pain through the right arm
and hand, and Of which he really has
not been relieved till the last few days.

BUILDINGS AND EXHIBITS.
What VIII Happen When the Great
Fair Is Over

Chicago, Sept. 22-Builders of the
tear the great exposition down. More
than a year elapsed between the time
congress voted to send the exposition
to Chicago and the beginning Of opera
tons in Jackson park. One day after
the final closing Of the gates Oct 30
the work of destruction will begin.
The organization is already perfected
for the destruction. 1t only waits the
word from Director Davis. The word
will be given On the morning of Oct.
81
How fast the exposit N will fall can
not, of course, be told now. Many ele-
ments Of uncertainty enter into the
question, not the least of which is the
state of the weather during the closing
days Of October
Customs house officials will virtually
take possession Of the foreign displays
the day the fair closes. They will
superintend the packing of all exhibits,
checnIng off each article as it is put in
the case and comparing the list with
the original invoices. Collector Clark
viii have men at every exhibit to re
tain the duty on all missing goods on
which duty has already been paid.
Before any packages can be shipped
from the park permission must be Sc
cured from the department chiefs hay
ing charge of the building, and, that
secured, the goods can be returned to
the original point Of shipment without
being delayed at ports of entry.
All is conjecture regarding the
quantity of stuff that will be removed.
There is q decided disposition among
exhibitors to remain in the park sever
al weeks and sell as many Of their dis
plays as possible. If the exhibitors had
their way about it they would CON
vert Jackson park into an .ntcIl ational
bazaar, and sell all their displays be
fore returning home. If that could be
arranged Il mighty load would be rails
ed from their shoulders. 1t would re-
licyc the foreign merchants Of the
trouble aud expense of rep&ckin@ their
displays ana taklnS them nome again.
Bills Of credit could be handled much
easier than trainioads Of merchandise
and, besides, many Of the exhibitors
need the money their displays repre-
sent. All classes of exhibitors, but
foreigners more especially, are anxious
for the exposition managers to waive
the percentage charged for allowing
sales in the buildings. They have
abandoned all hope Of having a bill
passed by congress lowering the duty
on their goods, but will make 4 united
appeal for President IIiginbotham to
waive the tax put on all sales in the
buildings.

Milwaukee, Sept. 22-'rhe move to
have Il co-receiver appointed for the
Marine bank has taken new and I'M
expected turn.
Attorney IL. III. Bottum, who is a
member of the law firm representing
John SohnSton, has been endeavoring
during the day to get other attorneys
and business men interested to agree
to petition to Judge Johnston, to be
presented tomorrow, asking the court
TO appoint 4 committee of five disin-
terested business men of the city to sit
as co-receivers with Receiver Becker,
to represent as an official committee, the
interests of depositorS generally.
This proposition did not receive any
encouragement, us it is considered
wholly impracticable and too expen-
sive. 1t is argued that no committee
OF competent men could be secured to
serve without compensation and that
if they We're paid as co-receivers the
is Il loud demand for Il Co-receiver who
shall act with Mr.. Becker and who
shall be placed in the bank to look
after the interests of all depoSitorS.
without fear or favor. The question
will come UP for settlement tomorrow.
In his petition for the appointment
of a co-receiver for the Marine bank,
Alexander McDougall takes the ground
that Washington Becker was simply
the management of the bank and that
his close relations with Mr.. Mitchell
make him unfit to represent the cred
itors in the capacity of a receiver.
The petition recites how on May -.
1893, the officers of the bank had mado
loans exceeding $1,SO0,000 to "a person
who was generally known to be en-
gagged in Speculation and who was
known to the officers of the bank to
be indebted in other ways to the ex-
tent of $1,OOO,OOO or more
On May %, the petition AYERS,
Messrs Mitchell, Johnston and Fergu-
son had their attention forcibly called
to the condition of affairs and then
apparently for the first time realized
the situation in which they had placed
the bank" They then gave notes in
the sum of $6OO,OO0 to add to the banks
assets and later Mr.. Mitchell and Mr..
Johnston gave mortgages on their prop
erty in the sum Of $5OO,OO0 and $780,
600 respectively. The petition asserts
! that Mitchell then induced Washington
Becker, his brother-in-law, to go into
! the bank as his representative, to learn
its true condition. In order that Mr..
Becker might be an officer, Mr.. Mitch
ell transferred one share of stock to
him. Later, the petition AYERS, 100
more shares were transferred to him
in order that his interest might appear
larger. The stock, it is alleged, was
transferred without consideration and
was re-transferred to Mr.. Mitchell be-
fore the commencement Of this action.
Great stress is laid in the petition on
the reliance which the people put in
! the declaration Of personal response
bility on the part of the stockholders.

THE MARKETS.
Fairly Good Trade, But Stock Spec
u1ation Dull.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-There was a fairly
good trade in speculative arti-
cles with the exception Of provisions,
which latter were very dull and very
weak Wheat started on what looked
like an aD-day decline but picked it
self UP when the seaboard reported
heavy clearances of wheat and flour.
1t recovered from a preliminary loss
of 7-Sc, but closed only 1-Sc lower than
it did yesterday. Corn and oats were
very strong, more especially the latter,
which closed with a gain of 7-Sc. Corn
advanced about 1-2c.
Pork is nominally 15c lower for near
by deliveries and 25c off for January.
Lard is 2 lie lowed for September,
15c lower for October and 10c off for
January. Ribs for September are
down T lie, October % 1-2c and Jan
uary is 15c lower.
New York, Sept. 21-There is no
change in the character of the specu-
Iation in Wall street this morning.
Transactions were limited.
