Wisconsin's Greatest State Fair,

Such is the title Of the state fair
OF 1896, as advertised by the secre-
tarY of the Wisconsin State Agricul-
tural society, and from reports ever
thing points toward the title being
fully maintained.
Entries have already closed in the
live Stock department, which is al
ways the most important and at
tractive. This department in 1895
was the largest in the history of the
state. 1t is therefore gratifying to
state the entries received for 1896
show an increase of nearly 25 per
cent. in excess of those of 1895. The
d ferent classes of this department
will be made up Of thoroughbred
animals from nearly every state IN
the Union, and for the first time
several herds from sister Canada.
The Agricultural department this
year promises to tax the capa-
city Of the building assigned for
agricultural products. One of the
strong features of this department
Will be the many large and attractive
county exhibits, toward which Secre-
tary Fleming has offered $500 in
special premiums.
The horticultural department
will be stronger this year than at
any other time, which is probably
partially accounted for by the abun-
dance Of fruit throughout the state,
IN addition to which the premiums in
this department have been increased,
and new and additional interest
aroused among the horticulturisUs Of
the state.
1t is only correct to state that the
Dairy de oartment will show greater
and more marked Improvement in
'96 than any other department
connected with the fair. The ad-
mlnlstration, recognizing the neces-
slty of improvement in the Dairy
department, to make it in keeping
with the great dairy interests of Wis
consin, have constructed a glass
refrigerator, running the length of
the dairy building, in which all the
dairy exhibits can be kept, entirely
free from the elements, and at the
same time be in full view of the pub
lie. There will be miniature cream
cry, fully equipped and in actual oper-
alton, which will certainly prove in
teresting as we'll as attractive to the
department.
The Art hall has also undergone
a complete change and remodeling
and now all articles can be exhibited
in this department without being

CITY ACQUIRES WATER PLANT
The Common Council Authorizes the
Purchase-Transfert to be Made
Saturday.

Purchase-Transfer to be Made
Saturday.
Important business was transacted
by the common council last evening.
All the members were present except
Alderman O'Donnel. An ordinance
introduced by Alderman Wertheimer
authorizing the purchase by the city
of the waterworks complete. including
all real estate and ppurtenances, was
read three several times and passed
unanimously under suspension of the
rules. The transfer of the plant to
the city by the waterworks company
is to be made Saturday The price to
be paid is $l07 1886 90, the total cost of
the works; and the city also agrees to
make certain extensions which the
company has provided for, the cost
purchase price, $l5, ,42427 will be paid
when the transfer occurs; $4,000 of
this was raised from the sale of city
waterworks bonds, the balance is taken
from IDe city general fund.
An ordinance providing for the va
eating of twenty-five feet on both the
south and north sides of Bailey street,
between Fifth and Sixth streets, was
introduced by Aid. Skinner, and on
mothion referred to the Judiciary
committee. The object is to create
more area to the high s,'h-ci premises.
The council seemed TO fayor this pro-
position, but objected to giving land to
the lot owners on the other side of the
street.
The Board of Public Works reported
in favor of paying Milwaukee street
bridge, the expense being estimated
at about $500. After considerable dis
cussion the council refused to accep pt
the report, but authorized the adver-
tising for proposals to replank the
bridge.
Sidewalks were ordered built on
both sides of Milford street from
Montgomery to the G. & N. w. railway
track.
A resolution was passed for the
placing of water by drants at the inter
sections of Milford and West streets
and Clyman and Tenth streets.
Fifty dollars was appropriated from
the city general fund to apply on wit
ness fees in the suit of McCann & Ne
Lellan vs.. the city, notice of trial in
the Dodge county circuit court having
been served by the plaintiffs attor-
neys, Malone & Bachhuber.

structed for their reception. In this
department, IS in the others, this
| contemplated improvement seems to
nave met with favor, as the spacious
building will be taxed to it's fullest
capacity.
The uachinery department. also
promises to be very interesting to the
farmers ard othe.s who attend the
talr, on account of many new inven-
tions which will be on exhibition.
The Poultry building has also
undergone complete transforma-
ton, permanent and uniform GOODS
having been placed throughout the
entire building.
There will probably be no depart
ment on the grounds this year that
VIII draw more to it than that of the
kennel show. 1t Is confidently ex-
pected that it will be one of the larg-
est kennel shows in the United States
during 1896, and none visiting the
fair should fail to 60 through this de-
part ment.
These are a few strong points con-
nected with the approaching agricul-
tural and live stock exposition which
are sufficient guarantee to COM
mand the attendance of all the pro-
gresslve and intelligent farmers ofthe
state. 1t is not necessary to dwell
upon the splendid condition of the
state fair grounds, as thousands
OF people know that they are not.
beaten by any in the United States.
This is certainly saying great deal
for Wisconsin, which up to couple
OF years ago had an u1inviting place
for the holding Of it's annual fairs.
1t is on just to the administrator
that has brought this great improve
ment forth, that the fair should merit
the approval of the people by their
attendance.

TAGGART DID NOT WAIT
CHAIRMAN ROCKFORD PUT ON TOO
MANY POLITICAL AIRS.
An Amusing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. I'm
Town Tell of Political Outlook
I'm Several Places.

The tale of Thomas Taggart's visit TO
John Rockford, Popocratic county chair
man. has just leaked out. Immediately
after his election to this high and honor
able position Mr.. Rockford established
himself in the Cleveland Club rooms. en-
ployed a couple OF st~enographers, three on
four doorkeeDers and a whole job lot or
clerks-about twenty people In all. Hav-
ing got his force together, he ensconced
himself in the inmost room and waited
for things to come his way. They didn't
come, and when the first Saturday night
came around there was no money to pay
the swarm of employees, and they were dis
missed. But it was while he was thus roll
ing in the lap of luxury that Thomas Tag
CART. chairman of the district, ex-chairman
of the State committee and Mayor OF the
great city of Indianapolis. called to pay
his respects to Mr.. Rockford. After con-
siderable explanation he succeeded in get
ting past two doorkeepers and right up
next to the room where Mr.. Rockford was.
The last doorkeeper, however, was a picked
nan and did not propose TO have anybody
run the guard lines. He took Mr.. Taggarts
name, and, saying he would see if Mr..
Rochrord was engaged, disappeared with
in. He soon reappeared and stated in az
businesslike way that Mr.. Rockford was
TO his private secretary. but he would be
out presently ant would be pleased to see
Mr.. Taggart. AS may be well imagined,
Mr.. Taggart did not wait, and his visit to
the rooms has not been repeat
ed. II he should go now there would not be
so many 0OOrkeeperS III his way.

GEN. HARRISON'S SPEECH.
Some Local Comments on h Great
Effort.

Lucius b. Swift, in commenting on Gen.
Harrison's speech, said he was especially
pleased with the statement that 1.-The first
-irty errand of a dirty dollar is to cheat
the workingman." He said this tells what
many people would devote a column to
explaining. He thinks the position of Gen.
Harrison that sound-money Democrats
should not expect the Republican party to
lay aside all it's old principles and work
merely to the end that the gold standard
be maintained, is sound and right. He says
the expression that a tenant on the top
floor of a burning building should not wait
for the tenant on the first floor to change
his opinions before joining the fire brigade,
as illustrated by General Harrison, is an
apt figure to use in describing the present
situation.
John r.. Wilson said the present move
ment among the Democrats for sound
money does not, as he understands Ii, in
volve in any way the population by the
Republican party of any of its principles.
He thinks the condition of affairs have
reached a stage where 1t Is necessary for
the Republicans and the standard Demo-
Gratis 10 unite m 2 9 nsnn gains = ehe Popo,
for all the troubles OF the country. He
says some of General Harrison's episrams
will be current throughout the campaign
and that they will be a very potent factor
in the OF the next two months.
NJ. O'Connor, Democrat, was very favor
ably impressed with the speech Of General
Harrison. He says it is the best and most
logical argument on the points wherein he
differs with the Chicago platform that he
has seen or heard. He is especially pleased
with the part which concludes with the
question:: How can we most surely de-
feat the Chicago nominees?"
8. O. Pickens. Democrat. is much pleased
with all of the speech except that part
which defends protection. He says General
Harrison's arguments on that question are
as fallacious as his arguments against the
silver cause are sound.

AT THE GRADE CROSSING
G. c. KOERNER STRUCK BY THE
CARS AND FATALLY HURT.
He Was Driving Across the Lake Erie
Tracks at Ninth Street-A Well
known Man..

A few minutes before 9 o'clock last night
G. c. Koerner, manager of the Indiana de-
partment Of the Fidelity Mutual Accident
Association, was struck by a cut of cars
at the corner Of the Lake Erie tracks and
Ninth street and fatally injured. Mr..
Koerner owns a farm about six miles
northeast of the city and was returning
from this farm in his buggy when the ac-
cident occurred. He had two bushel bas-
kets of tomatoes in his buggy and just a
few minutes before the accident had
stopped at Buser's grocery, corner of
Ninth and Alvord streets, TO see If he
wished to buy them, and not being able
to dispose of them there, he drove west
on Ninth street towards the railroad
tracks. Witnesses of the accident say
that as he started across the tracks an
engine was coming north on the main
track. He whipped up his horse to avoid
this and did not notice a cut of cars that
was moving south on the switch in front
of him. The horse had just cleared the
switch track and the cars struck the bug
gy squarely. reducing it to splinters and
carrying its parts. together with Mr..
Koerner, about thirty feet beyond the
crossing.
The ambulance was called from the City
Dispensary, and when it arrived the doc
tor found Koerner lying on the ground
where the cars had carried him, bleeding
profusely from the nose and mouth. He
was removed TO the City Hospital, and n
careful examination showed that both Of
his collar bones were broken, also his
spinal column, and that his Skull was badly
fractured. The doctors said that he could
not live until daylight.
He was a man about forty-five years old,
in the neighborhood of 2lO. pounds
In his pockets were found an express re-
ceipt and several cards with the name c. G..
Koerner upon them He wore a X of p
emblem. For quite a number of years Mr..
Koerner was connected with business col
leges in this city, and was at one time
president of the Bryant & Stratton Col
lege. DR.. G.. j. Bergener identified him as
soon as he saw him at the hospital. Mr..
Koerner resides at No. So East Market
street. The horse escaped without injury
and was taken to Mr.. Buser's stable.
Several years ago Mr.. Koerner had a mar
buggy on North Capitol avenue. The fire
apparatus from the No. 6 house was on its
way TO a fire in the western Fart of the
city. and. coming up close behind Mr..
Koerner's buggy, the engine drove to one
side and a hose cart to the other. One Of
the pieces of apparatus struck Mr.. Koer-
ner's horse, killing IL instantly. The occu-
pants of the buggy, who also included Mr..
Koerner's wife and a relative. were hurled
quite a distance, but escaped injury.

At a meeting of prominent physicians
and attorneys of the State held yesterday
morning and afternoon at the Denison
House there was organized a society to be
known as the Medico-Legal Society of In
diana, which as for its object the promo
ton. elvation and protection of the medical
and legal professions. 1t is hoped by the
organization Of such q society to bring the
two professions into a closer union of fra
ternity, by which they may be able TO
work to a better advantage in cases where
they are brought together. There has al
ways been more or less friction between
the two professions in trials in court where
expert testimony Is required from physi-
clans.
The new society also expects to take the
lead in the matter of securing legislation
for the protection OF the medical profession
and of the people of the State in their
dealings with the physicians Of the State.
