having Just returned from South pa
kota. where he went with Brown
harvester for test OF the machine. The

lighted with its simplicity and good

FAIR NOTES.

About 5000 have been expended for
permanent improvements this season
Tue Encouragement aud building Of
closets is most commendable stroke.
Every body who conducted any business
on the grounds seemed well satisfied
witt he result. The shows and catch
pet ~ concerns were Of a higher grade
than usual. The "City Of Jerusalem
notably was meritorious 1t WAS moved
By electricity, showing many things of
interest about the ancient temple.
The demeanor of the great crowds,
both in city and on the grounds, is told
when we say that there was but one
arrest for drunkenness during the fair.
THE FINANCES
On account of bad weather and other
causes there is quite shortage in re-
ceipts as compared with last year, and
the officers think expenses will nearly
if not quite wipe out the receipts. There
were 1,1S0 general entries, about 300
less than lest season. The receipts

Trembling with indignation, he held
his ground, and declared that if the

five minutes more.
When Mr.. Owen finished, Mr.. DON
nelly returned tho fire, turning his
satire on tho exalted loyalty which Mr..
Owen professed to have shown to the
Populist party, aud on his failure to
obey its instructions, and defending
his own record from tho charges made,
as no said, to hold him up ina false
light.
