AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.
Workingmen Have Commenced Max
ing Needed Repairs.

A force of workmen commenced the
work of repairing the buildings at the
fair grounds and placing the grounds
in first class shape under the direction
of the Committee of Fifteen today.The
men will probably be at work on the
grounds for the next week, as the
Committee intends that the grounds
shall be in the best possible condition
for the Fall Festival. One of the con-
ditions under which the Committee was
granted the exclusive use of the
grounds this year was that the sDunds
should be placed in good repair. A new
fence is to be built around the race
track and the fences about the grounds
repaired. All of the buildings are to be
made waterproof, and the roads run
ming through the grounds graded so as
to afford good drainage.

EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIA-
TION MEETING.

For the meeting Of the National Ed
ucational association at Buffalo in 1896
the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by all
who had the pleasure of using that
line. This year our educational friends
meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July to g.
and members of the association and
others from points west of the Missouri
river should by all means take the
Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific
via Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists of hand
some day coaches, chair cars, Pullman
buffet and drawing room sleepers, din
ing cars and buffet smoking and Ii
brary cars. Fewer changes than via
any other line. One fare, plus $3.50, for
the round trip will be the rate from all
points west of the Missouri river for
this meeting.

Harrisburg, June 12.-There is not a

bills are passed.
This was the cry two years ago rails
ed for a purpose, but it is true this
year. The legislature shows no signs
of resembling the concurrent resolution
to adjourn July l. It has five days in
which to reverse its action on major

without unanimous consent.
1t is understood Senator Quay is op-
posed to the date fixed for adjournment
and will call upon his friends to extend
the time that something may be done
to provide for the charitable institu-

It may sound absurd to make a state
ment about smoking meat without a fire."
for it is a we'll known saying that "where
there is smoke there must be fire." The
advance Of science, however, has made
this idea obsolete, and today with the use
of Krausers' Liquid Extract of Smoke it is
possible toquickly, economically and sue
'cessfully smoke meat without a fire. This
liquid extract is made by distilling the
smoke from hickory wood and is absolute
method has a genuine smoke flavor, re-
mains moist and soft, and is not infested
with, insects. Every objection Of the old
method is overcome, every trouble ended
and the unsightly and dangerous smoke
house is a thing Of the past. Krausers'
Liquid Extract Of Smoke long ago passed
the age Of experiment, and thousands are
using it today with profit and satisfaction.
By writing E. Krauser & Bro, Milton, Pa,

charge instructive printed matter about
methods Of curing and smoking all kinds
Of meats.

A coUNrERFEIrER CAUGHT.
The Police Of Syracuse Make. an Import

The Police Of Syracuse Make An Import
ant Capture.
On Monday the 18th, Harold Marquisee, Of
Utica, N. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, N.
T., on Q warrant sworn out by the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., charging him with
forgery. On the 18th Of December Marqui-
see visited a ph~oto-engraver in Syracuse,
saying he was the representative Of the Or.
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for
the making of a full set of plates for the di-
rection sheets, labldh etc, Of the famous
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
News of this reached the home office, n
no time was lost in arranging for his arrest
when he should return for the plates. He
returned on the 18th and was accordingly
arrested and is now in Jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination.
This arrest proves to be an important one.
In addition to various plumber, such as
medical books. typewriters,. rugs, ETC..
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in
a search of his apartments at Utica found
q complete outfit for counterfeiting con-
sisting of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, anthony, a small blacksmith
plaster-of-paris molds. The United States
marshals want him just as soon as the DR..
Williams Medicine Co. are through with
him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced
In selecting Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed
his knowledge of the proprietary medical
business; for these pills are in such great
demand that they are easily sold at any
drug storein the United States. His scheme
was to work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at discount Of from 2 per
cent to s per cent, explaining the reduced
price by the fact that he had picked them
up in small lots and at a discount from
dealers who were over-stocked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds Of dollars in
a short time. The proprietors of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills are most fortunate to
have caught the rogue, before he had fair
ly started, and to have thus kept these
spurious goods out of the market.
