MINNESOTA STATE FAIR.
Mayor Weaver Says it is to be Bigger
Than Ever This Year.

Mayor Ed. Weaver has gone to St.
Paul to attend an important meeting
of the board of directors of the Mime
sofa Agricultural Society which will
be held on the grounds of the associa-
ton midway between st. Paul and
Minneapolis. Among the things to
be considered is the contract between
Frank Shaw's race meeting association
and the agricultural society, which
has been subject to some criticism OF
late. In this matter Mayor Weaver
is taking a particular interest. But
the most important business will be
the preparation for the annual fair
given under the auspices of the asso-
citation and which will be open Sept.
10th and continued for one week.
There is every present indication
that the fair will be big one and
that all the buildings will be crowded.
1t is now two years since fair was
held on the grounds. Last year the
fair was omitted because of the Col
umbian exposition. During the two
years which have interviewed very
great progress has been made in the
diversifcation of farming in Mime
Sota and this fact promises to be
most Strikingly shown in the states
exhibit and the dairy exhibits. No
exposition is to be held in MinneapO-
lis this year and this fact will result
in the fair receiving the united sup
port of the merchants and manufac-
turers of both st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. Heretofore many of the Mime
apolis merchants have confined their
exhibits to the Minneapolis eXposi-
tiOn.
The agricultural society is to have
the cooperation and assistance of the
Horse Breeders Association, the Min
nesota Stock Breeders Association,
the State Association of Poultry Far
mers', the Horticultural Society, the
organization which was effected about
a year ago for the promotion of better
roads. The latter society will make
a unique exhibit of roads built of the
most improved method and after the
best known methods.
The exhibit of Minnesota at the
worlds fair was preserved and imme-
rdiately at the close of the fair shipped
to Minnesota and put in place in the
main building of the association. 1t
will form considerable feature of
the exhibit in the main building.
The agricultural society has offered
purses amounting to 81, 500 tor pacing
and trotting contests, the entries for
which close Sept. 1st. In addition to
this the Horse Breeders Association
has hung up two purses for two-year-
old colts for the 3 minute class, nOmi-
nations for which were made May 10.
There will be daily balloon ascensions,
two balloon races in which two balloons
will be started at the same time, and
other special attractions which will
be announced from time to time. The
railroads are to make a rate of one
fare for the round trip to ST. Paul and
Minneapolis during the fair.

Laying of water mains On Fourth
street will be completed to Wash
ington street from Main street this
week. Already some five or six house
connections are arranged for and some
more in prospect. A petition for
mains on Sixth street will be presented
to the council soon and would be
great benefit to residents of that
oc ality.
The ID. of H. entertainment at the
city hall last night was very success
full. The stage was beautifully decor
ated and divided off, and those ON the
program did themselves proud. After
wards refreshments were served, and
tine floor was then cleared and dane
ing was INDUCED in. The affair was
very pleasant and was well attended.
The city force is making a long
needed improvement by building over
the gutter at the north side of the
corner of Second and Main streets.
This open gutter has caused several
accidents, and it ought to have been
bridged long time ago. 1t is the
last of the open cutters.
The case of Nicholas Weis,
against Albert Thissen, to dissolve
partnership of Weis & Thissen, has
been settled. The receiver has been
discharged and Mr.. Weis takes the
stock of goods and assets of the firm
and assumes all of the liabilities. He
will continue the business in his own
name.
The Board of Public Works appear
to be individually opposed to making
a special water rate to The Saulpaugh,
and will undoubtedly require the
the hotel to pay the lowest schedule
rate, of eight cents a thousand gal
Ions. No official action has been
taken, and if none is taken, then that
rate will apply.
"A marriage license has been
granted to Richard Thomas and Miss
Hannah Hughes, of Lake Crystal, and
we understand that they were mar
ried last night.

morrow, making three in all. The

Kenneth Bazemore had the good
fortune to receive a small bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy when three men,
bers of his family were sick with dysen-
terry. This one small bottle cured
them all and he had some left which
he gave to Geo. w Baker, a prominent
merchant of the place, Lewiston, N.
c., and it cured him of the same COM
plant. When trouble with dysentery,
diarrhoea, collie or cholera morbus,
give this remedy trial and you Will
be more than pleased with result,
The praise that naturally follows its
introduction and use has made it very
popular. 25 and so cents bottles for
sale by III. /. Parry Druggist.

afternoon for WatertOwn, Wis, to

Investigation Invited.

Of course it is proper to inquire
about what any man says. Is it true?
The most rigid investigation is in
vited into the testimonials published
in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Special attention is called to the high
character of the persons whose testi-
monials are published by the proprie-
tors of this medicine, as evidenced by
their occupations or Endorsements.
In fact, no matter where a testi-
monial in behalf of Hoods Sarsapar-
lila may be from, it is reliable and as
worthy of confidence as if it came
from your most trusted neighbor.

The trial of Timothy Murtaugh,
of Madison Lake, on the charge OF
drunkenness, was started yester-
day, at Eagle Lake, on a
change of venue. After the trial
had started, Attorney Schmitt, for
the defense, raised the point that the
action had been commenced under
the village ordinance at Madison
Lake, and therefore the Eagle Lake
Justice had no Jurisdiction. The
point was sustained, and the defen-
dant was discharged. Attorney
O'Grady assisted Mr.. Schmitt, and
County Attorney Bensdict appeared
for the state.

years, and has received the unani- nous endorsement of his party for the position for another term. If there was ever an officer, who has merited the support of the tax payers for reelection it is Thomas Roach.
 Geo. W. Sines' the other nominee for supervisor, is an old resident of Prescott,..a although at present he is engaged in mining on Cherry creek. He has been among the most enter prising of our citizens. No man ever went to George Sines, for aid for charity or for any public enter prise that he did rot meet with a generous response from him and We nave yet to hear the first breath of suspicion as to his honesty and integrity. He is a thorough business man, just such a man as is needed to conduct the affairs of the county. The office of supervisor is one of the most important in the county. The entire business of the county is transacted by the board of supervisors. The rate of taxation is fixed bT them and the revenues of the county are expended by them. Hence the importance of the posi- ton and the importance of having honest and painstaking men to fiji it. The republican convention was extremely fortunate in its selection of candidates for the position and voters should ratify the action of the convention at the polls.
 This review of the republican candidates Is but brief. Much more could be said on their behalf aI d further mention will be made from time to time. Our common enemy, the demobrats seem to realize that their party is quoted below par among the voters of the country generally and that desperate means will be required on their part to de- feat the republican ticket. Already the slogan of their party has been raised against the head of the terri torial ticket in the vilest of abuse aud personal vllli6cation. They realize that N. O. Murphy can be ''downed" only by the use of such methods and they do not hesitate to adopt then. What has been said and done openly in regard to him is already being done and said in undertones and whispers in regard to candidates on the republican | ticket. Intimations of incompetency of this one, religious belief of that one, some base slander of some other one, are already being heard. Voters do not allow yourselves to be de ceived by such tricks.
 The republican convention has nominated a clean pure ticket and there is not candidate on the list of which voters need to be ashamed to support.

TIE REPUBLICAN COMPANION,

The republican county conyen- tion, which met yesterday, was one of the largest and best representa- tive bodies of republicans that ever convened in Yavapai county. Its proceedings were marked by har- mony and good feeling throughout. While there was quite as active rivalry lur various positions on the ticket. na bitter feelings seem to have beea engeDdered by the re- suits. \ thoroughly good and clean ticket was nominated, and one which will command the respect and support of not only every repub- lican in the county, but of that large class of voters who claim ale glance to no party, hut who recog- nize in the success of the republican ticket an omen of better times. The representatives in Yavapai county of the great party which has been
 he bulwSrk of our nation, and un- der which our country has pros pered as no other nation of the world has. have done their work we'll. Let voters now take up the work where the delegates to the convention dropped it, and see to it that the ticket. as we'll as the terri torial ticket of the party, is elected from top 10 bottom. A review of the candidates will appear in due time.

Thel e was one little item Mir Burke, or the printer left out of his speech yesterday. He said that "the new bi1l means cheaper clothing, cheape tools, cheaper ia rm imple- ments, cheaper pottery, am l cheaper other n ecessaries for the peC pie, ? AND ABOVE ALL CHEAPER WAGES TOR THE MEcHAl IIo AND LABoRER. l he em- phasiz ed clause was the part ommit ted in the printed spe sch. It may have been simply one of those unacc Ountable freaks of the printer in leaving it out or it may have been an oversight on the part oi the speaker. Be this as it may, the most noted cheapening that has taken place underIthis "new bill' has been that of labor. Reduction of wages is reported on all sides.
 Our contemporary has besn very solicitous in regard to the slight given its sountry cousins by the republican convention. and it was naturally expected that an sid democratic howl would go up in pica type this morning about the democratic convention nominating a town ticket. Here are the names Oliver, Lawler, Gold water, Ruffner, Ling, Hicks, Carter seven in all, four of whom were taken from the court house and three of the four from the sherifrs office.

 The republican convention made no mistake when it nominated John S. Jones for the territorial council. Mir. Jones has lived for years in this section and had 8 long and severe struggle against adverse circum- stances, but through his persever- ance and never failing energy he &Rslly oEsFssms sll obstsclss and success has been achieved by him. He has proven . true friend to miners aud ProspectoEs and has done as much as any other one man to develop the mining resources of this country. He has never sought sn office before and was not an as- pirant for the nomination which he received, but the republican dele gates recognized in bip a man well qualified for the position and with out his asking gave him the nomi- nStiOn. It is a duty which the citizens of the county owe to them selves to see that he is elected.

WHY VOTERS SHOULD SUPPORT
 HtBN N a. MURPHY

HON. \. 0. MURPHY.
 Because he has the interests of Arizona at heart, has and will work night and day to advance them.
 Because he fayors an Ameri,an policy.
 He is against the infamous wilson bill.
 He favors the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
 He heartily advocates protection to American wool and American sheep.
 He is for a policy that will build up the various industries ofthis country aud not one that will destroy them and bring want. distress, and misery among the people.
 There is no lodging the fact that any policy, no matter by what it is known, that closes the factories of this country; that bankrupts the railroads; that destroys our great industries; that robs the laborer of employment; and fills the country with vast army of unemployed; !; that robs the farmer and producer of his market is un-American and un-patriotic.
 He fsvors the laborer because he knows that the lsboring men of the United States are the foundation of our country. The prosperity of our country hinges on the laboring peo- pie of the United States, and to reduce our laboring people to 8 state of starvation and degradation will surely ruin our prosperity.
 When you rob the laboring men of their employment, you rob the farmers of their customers.
 He favors liberal pensions to the heroes who saved our country from ruin and disgrace.
 His record as secretary and gov ernOr of our territory is without question one of the brightest aud best ever known in Arizona.
 He is an able statesman, a man of large experience in public affairs and has large acquaintance with the leading statesmen of our country and can do more in the interest oI Arizona and her people in the leg. islative halls of Washington, than any other man of whatever party the people of Arizona could select as a delegate.
 In western parlance, he is 6 Hustler" and will get to the front and will make 6 record, if elected that is incomparable. It is the duty of every laboring man, every miner, every farmer every cattle raiser, every sheeE owner, every business man, who hal the interest of Arizona at heart, and who desires to see this country prosper, as ne other country will oI can, to support at the polls Hon., N. O. Murphy for delegate to Congress.
 Elect Oakes Murphy as youl delegate and you will be proud ot it.
 Give him your votes and you vii put a man in the National House O Representatives who will work early and late in the interests ofthe whole people of Arizona.
 He will be against the infamous policies advocated by Grover Cleve land and his democratic allies.

 The fact is there is not scintilla of truth in the charge of violation of law, and it will react against the party which first placed itself on record hy incorporating personal yilli6cation of an opposing candidate in its platform.

 "The republican argument that because a man has not been appre- hended and arrested for wrong do- ing, people should endorse him with out question, is a rather peculiar one, to say the least."-Courier. No such argument has been advanced by republicans. The republican argument is simply this. The charges, preferred for campaign purposes only, by Attorney General Heney, against Ex-Governor V. o. Murphy, demonstrate very clearly that either Mir. Hensy either does not believe them himself or has been neglectful of his duty. In his prosecution of another ex-official, he showed that he desired only 8 very small pretext to prosecute any republican who bad been guilty of holding office. The natural con clusion then is that Heney does not believe himself and he certainly can not expect other people to be- lieve him.
