sEYMoUR.s STREET FAIR.
Great Crowds Attending the Spectacu-
lar in jackson County.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind, Sept. 2S.-The opening
days of the free street fair have been sue
cessful in the highest degree. The streets
have been thronged with people all day.
and on all lips there is no expression but
that of surprise and entire satisfaction
with the exhibits and the entertainment Of
fered One hundred or more elaborate
booths have been prepared by the mer-
chants for the exhibits. The liberal premi-
ums which they have offered have brought
in the finest display of agricultural prod
ucts ever seen in Jackson county. The
premium for best dozen ears of corn, Of
Tered by w. l. Johnson & Co., brought in
loo EXHIBITS of the finest specimens. e. b.
Cole & Co.'S offer for the largest corn
stalk brought in eighty-five exhibits, the
largest being over seventeen feet. The
pumpkin exhibit at the John G. Groub Com
pany contains SiXty-nine specimens, the
largest Of which will weigh nearly $40
pounds. The Seymour Republicans display
century old. The displays of both useful
and fancy needlework, offered by Price
Bros, and the gold mine are exceptionally
sented. AS whole, the exhibits by far
excel anything ever seen in Jackson coun-
ty or in southern Indiana.
The fair was formally opened by a pa
rade, led by the Pickaninny Band. On the
main platform, on West Second street, I.
S. BliSh, the president of the fair intro
duced Mayor Joseph Balsey, who made
the opening address. Every afternoon and
evening during the week continuous per-
formances are given from six stages on
different parts of the streets Last evening
the performances were of the very highest
order, as the management has spared no
pains to secure the very best talent in
spectacular characterizations and dances,
popular singers snake charmers, ball roll
ers, rope walkers, trapeze performers, pres
tidigitators, etc. Nothing immoral is al
lowed, and even the most fastidous are
pleased with the performances. The novel
ty of the street fair is attracting enormous
crowds from all directions.
The fifty-dollar prize for the largest dele
cation from any Sunday school was won by
the Rockford school, with the CORTLAND
school a close second. Three brass bands
eElivened the occasion Tomorrow is Rail-
road day, and the various railroads enter
ing here will run in cheap excursions. The
bicycle races will take place tomorrow.

COAL VS.. GAS.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-The city election being close
at hand, and my attention having been
called TO the fact that the present mem
bers of the city Water Board are aspl-
rants for reelection under the new
Council, if you will allow me space IN
your paper, | believe it would not De
out of place at this time TO call the at
tention of the voters and taxpayers 10
the fact that Notwithstanding the pro
est by the miners and the o. V. 1. q
l.. A., the Water Board, for reasons
best known TO themselves, seem deter
mined to still continue the use OF nat
ural gas as a fuel at the new water
works, Notwithstanding a test made
with coal on October 2Sth, 1896, Wheh
the pumping engines developed duty
of 123, 600. 900 foot lbs. clearly Demon
strating that coal could be substituted
as a fuel. with a saving to the city OF
three thousand dollars per year. EX-
cept the Water Board themselves, no
one has questioned the fact that lhe
pumping engines at the new water
works will work up to THIS guardil
teed duty of 100000, 000-foot POUNDS
and all well-informed persons know
the fact that for steam purposes lhere
is no better coal found in America thah
our Wheeling coal.

quired to pump S,l73,964 gallons Oh wa

Board will persist in paying out S12OU
