state Fair Notes.

The shot candy" privileged for the
fair has been sold to an Oregon manufac
turer who expects to have attractive booths
scattered about the grounds.
Another team will be put to work on
the race track next week. Superntend.
ent VanDusen is satisfied the track will
be in fine condition for the races.
Prof. and Madam Girard, with an en-
tertainment. which they call the Superb
Decagon, have submitted proposition to
exhibit their illusions at the fair.
A merry go-round, kaleidoscope, Katie
Breen, "That Little New York Girl" and
all the other attractions which go to
make up first-class fair are slated for
Yakima.
The state fair commissioners willmeet
on the LIST or I'd OF September to pass up
on the grand stand, restaurant and
other privileges and to perfect other nee
essary work.
Harry II. Collier writes from Tacoma
that there will be over 200 chicken fam
ciers and breeders from all parts OF the
northwest at the fair AMI the exhibit will
probably be the equal of any ever made
on the coast A convention of the state
poultry association will be held here dur
ing the fair.
S. w. Maxey Of Ellensburg, to whom
is largely attributed the success of the
Washington exhibit at the Worlds fair,
is to be the superintendent OF the psvil-
ion at the state fair. He has just sub
mitted to the commissioners drawings
for an agricultural booth which are very
attractive.
The fair commissioners have made ap-
plication to the Northern Pacific for es-
pecially attractive excursion rates for the
days to be devoted to Tacoma, Seattle,
and Kittitas county. and the prospects
are strongly in favor Of the railroad COM
plying with the request. Nothing will be
left undone on those occasions to make
the visit OF our guests thoroughly enjoy
ed by them.
"Typesetter," a well-known and highly
bred stallion belonging to VIM. Rays Of
Klickitst county was taken to the state
fair grounds on Tuesday as were also four
running and four trotting horses. The
coming races during the fair promise to
be more than usually interesting and sp-
plications for entry blanks are being daily
received. Now that Yakima is in the
northwestern circuit some high-grade
sport can confidently be looked forward
to.
WagneI's First Regiment band, of
Seattle, will, without doubt furnish the
music during the fair. The terms have
been practically agreed npon and the
contract will be signed within the next
few days. Other bands had made appli-
cation but so greatly pleased were every
body with the services of this erganiza-
ton during their engagement last year
that the fair commissioners felt impelled
to give them the preference. One or two
concerts will be given in the city during
the engagement for the benefit Of the
fair fund.

New Depot and Rark

lue iotoWlng letter regarulnX new
depot to take the place OF the prcsefst
structure, was received by Mr.. Geo. Dom
aid on Monday. The letter is self-ex-
planatory and at meeting Of the council
the suggestions regarding the care Of the
park were agreed upon;
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug, 10. 1896.
Mr.. Gro. DONALD, North Yakima, Wash.
Dear Sir: We have practically decided
to erect passenger station of special de-
sign at North Yakima, and the plans are
now being prepared. The structure win
be Of frame, with two waiting rooms,
ticket Office, baggage and express room,
and with special exhibit window at the
corner. for the purpose oil exhibiting
fruits and flowers. The building will be
clapboarded for height Of perhaps eight
or ten feet, and will be finished from that
point to the caves and gable with oiled
cedar shingles. 1t will probably be heated
by Baker heater, or by some other hot
water system.
We shall probably desire to place the
station about 800 feet farther west than
at present.
We shall also construct freight sta
ton Immediately east OF the passenger
depot, and near enough to il so that one
agent can attend to all the duties of The
station until such time as the business
becomes sufficient TO warrant the EN-
ployment OF another man, which we hope
will be soon.
We desire to reserve the south half Of
our right of way opposite the station, and
the platform sppurtenant thereto, being
tract of land about 400 feet in length
by $50 or l75 feet in width; to grade this
up and to park it, so that the station with
its surroundings may be a beauty spot in
Yakima and satisfaction to its people
as well as to the road and Its patrons.
We ask the citizens OF Yakima to lead
to the grounds to be reserved, sufficient
supply of water to thoroughly irrigate
them, and to undertake the maintenance
OF the little park in such a manner as to
insure its continued beauty. The ex-
pense incident to this maintenance will
certainly not be great, and the whole ar
arrangement will serve to emphasize the
importance OF your city as the center of
one OF the most fertile districts in the
world.
We desire to lease the portion OF the
right OF way to be set apart for park pur-
poses to the city, under an agreement to
be agreed upon and for consideration
of 81 per year and the proper care OF the
ground.

this undertaking, and can so shape il
as to bring about the cooperation of the
citizens. / presume that l should have
written this letter to the mayor, and that

long acquaintance with you, and the fur
ther fact that have. mot the pleasure OF
the mayors acquaintance. II you will
make the necessary explanation to him
in this connection, and will otherwise as
sist in putting this matter IN the proper
light before the citizens and business
men OF your city, to the end that it may
speedily come to a conclusion and begin
the construction of the long-deslred pas
senger station, you will confer favor
upon Yours very truly,

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, July 1.-The speculative
temper underwent complete change
to-day, owing to the resumption Of
tire liquidating movement and to bold
and effective bear operations. There
was no reflection of the support ac-
corded the market yesterday, neither
was there any noteworthy Indication
of interest for long account by commits
SION houses The main discouraging
influence was change in the attitude
of London. This was supplemented, ils-
cidental TO the bear raids upon prices,
by various rumors of disturbing char
aeter some OF which were unfounded,
icluding one to the effect that arrange
ments were being made for shipments
of gold to Europe aggregating several
million dollars, The volume of business
was fairly well distributed, although
two stocks, Sugar and Tobacco, figured
for about two-thirds of the aggregate
dealings. At the outset the bulls were
discouraged by lower London prices,
md although some moderate buying
orders for foreign account were noted,

RALEIGH COTTON MARKET.
HUBBARD BROS. & cos LETTER.


New York, July Especial THE
reports from Europe were better than
looked for by the trade, but the tele-
grams from New Orleans reported
welcome showers throughout the
northern portion of Texas. These re-
ports were sufficient to cause a loss
of a portion of the improvements
abroad, and to bring about decline
of 2 to 3 points from the closing quo
tations of yesterday. Liverpool bought
fair amount of cotton at the opening,
but the selling of orders from the
South were more than equal to the
demand Locally, the feeling is bear
ish, on the anticipation of large
crop and the absence of any buying
power from outsiders who are not
willing to engage in fresh ventures in
the present unsettled condition of the
financial outlook. The government
report states to-day that the rainfall
in Texas averages 2.50100 inches,
since April Is inches, August Is inches
last season and inches in 1894.
Our market closes dull at the decline
of the morning. The most noticeable
feature of the day has been the abb
sence of buyers, due to the uncertainty
as to the result of the election and
consequent depression in business of
every character.

points on better English news that

There was practically no outside inter

expected of the market until after the
bureau report, due on the tenth, which
is expected to throw some light on the
situation in Texas. The market re-
mains very narrow and featureless.

The few orders from the South were
for selling cotton. The local feeling

Expensive Household Leaks.

ponscs, says The Jenness Miller Monthly,
are the most mischievous Tho big ones
are prominent enough to compel atten-
tion. Do You not, for example, trust all

afford to do So The head servants in the
Vanderbilt and Astor and other wealthy
families have among their chief duties
that of weighing the household supplies
Dry goods measurements in the large
shops are generally very accurate because
the employees arc under strict orders to be
exact. But grocers and butchers will bear
watching. Get for yourself or your kitch-
en- priestess set Of measures and somo
scales, and after you and she have learned
to use thom you will be amazed to see how
much you have been paying for that you
haven't had. Even in the most reliable
shops-so called-the Weighing is very lax.
butchers claim that the deficiencies in
their weights arc all due to tho waste In

and what you trim off will often give you

A quick wittod housckeeper says she has
saved many dollar in plumbers bills by
buying force cup and learning to handle
a wrench. Despite washing soda and pot
ash, now and then something unmeltabe
slips through the sink strainer and clogs
the pipe. All the more modern plumbing
has n nut at the bottom of the goose
neck, Just below the sink. BY setting a
pan beneath this and with wrench loos-
cning and then removing the cap the OBJ
struction will generally be found right
there. Sometimes the force cup applied
over the straincr in tho sink will be sufll-
cient to clear the pipe without taking tho
cap off the goose neck. If both fail, no
harm will have been done, but one or the
other succeeds often enough to make it
worth while to exercise ones ingenuity a
bit.

Women Enjoy Feminine Society.

"There is no doubt about IL, tho major
ity of women really enjoy the society of
their own sex much moro than tho society
Of men, If they would only honestly con.
fcss it," remarked clever woman recent
ly, land it is only the desire TO be Thought
attractive and to shine among their friends
that makes them seem to prefer the COM
pnny of tho lattor at any of the big funo-
tions whore conventionality rules them
tyrannically, and whore they feel that q
masculine escort is necessary for their self
respect Tako, for instance, the opera. OF
course 1t is MUCH grander to sit in a box
In ones best clothes and to receive men
visitors, but 1t is really infinitely moro
fun, calling the enjoyment Of the music
equal, at matinee To go out independ-
emily between tho acts, to visit your
friends in tho various boxes, and to feel
oneself to DO for once free, untram-
meled creature is what call delightful.
No wonder the men enjoy boing together,
If they can do that sort of thing all tho
time. For my part would rather talk to
a woman any day than to q man. unless
ho were exceptionally entortaining."-.
