Our State Fair

Pine Bluffs next fair will be on
much larger scale than the one held
in this city last year. Instead of
being county fair, as it was last
year, ahe entire state will probably
be represented and great showing
made. A representative will be Sc
cured to visit the different sections
of the State for the purpose ofinter-
esting the people in the enterprise
and inducing them to get exhibits
ready. No efforts will be spared by
the gentlemen at the mead of the
enter prise to make it a success in
every particular boro San.

A BILL is before Congress, and
will undoubtedly pass, declaring
that eniistments ii the army ma
Wy will not deprive veterans o. zen
sions for previous service It has
also a provision thatall persons who
served IN the Confederate army or
navy and who shall serve in the
United States army and navy for
ninety days shall be entitled to the
benefits of the disability pension
law of 1890. This bill was revote of
the committee and it IS safe to say
it will become a law. In the event
of hostilities with Spain the sum of
$40, 900, 900 which the country
spends annually in the payment of
pensions will be largely increased,
for the reason that thousands of
men of the South will enlist in the
army and navy and those who are
disabled in service will be entitled
to and will receive a pension. The
Increase of the pepsion roll and the
war debt which viii be piled up,
the people will have to make good out
of their own pockets, ana this is the
reason why the conservative senti-
ment is opposed to war except as a
last resort.-New Orleans States.

contemplate, During the seige of
Troy, l, $40, 600 men were killed, and
go, 600 were massacred when the
city was sacked. At the siege Of
Jerusalem 100000 died from
wounds and starvation. At Aus
terlitz, Napoleons most brilliant
victory, the French, Austrian and
Russian armies numbered $1,000,
and of these 40, 900 were killed. At
Jena 40, 900 lives we're lost; at Boro-
dine, 80,000 at Leipsie, 10000; at
Waterloo, 40, 900. So that, in the
SIX great Napoleonic battles, $780,
900 men lost their lives. At Inker-
man, %, 600 men were killed; at Ma
genta, $4,000; at Solserino, 10000;
Sadowa, 10000; at Gravelotte, 3d.
OO0. At Shiloh, 10000 men were
killed; at fredericksburg, 10000; at
Artietam, 10000; at Chickamauga,
5000; at Chancelloryille, 10000; at
Gettysburg, $1,000.
Malhall, in his Dictionary of
Statistics, gives the following as
the cost of the wars during the past
seventy years: "France and Alge-
ria, 1880, $3.50, 900, 900, Spain and
Portugal, 1880, $3.50, 600, 600; Euro
pean civil war, 1913, $50, 1000, 900;
Great Britain, France and Russia,
1854, St, 525, 600, 600; France and
Austria, 1859, 1925, 600, 600; United
States civil war, 1861, So, 700, 600, 600;
Brazil and Portugal, 1864, $240, 600, :
600; France and Mexico, 1866, $751;
600, 600; Prussia ard Austria, 1866,
500, 600, 600, France and Germany,
1870, 81, $50, 900, 600; Russia and Tur-
key, 1876, $3.50, 900, 900. Thus the
eleven great wars of the last two
generations cost the parties engag-
ed therein IS, 895, 900, 900, a sum SO
utterly beyond the comprehension
of man that the human mind is una
BILE to grasp it even by comparison.
Tt is enough to say that this sum
would support one hundred times
the number of public schools, uni
versities and churches that there
are today in the countries that took
part in the eleven wars specified;
that, after doing so, there would be
enough money left to feed and clothe
every student that attended a four
years course in any of the scholastic
institutions and there would still be
enough left to take care of the indi-
gent poor in the twenty-five coun-
tries that fought those wars.
