Ho, Ho, There!

Just stop and inquire about the fair.
will it pay to come the first day?
You bet! You can rely on what we say.
Ten thousand children can get in
And none be asked for bit of tin.
Kennedy Bros. will give such show
That the smallest boy will start to grow
The parents, too, will get gay
And wonder why they thought of stay
ing away.
The wheelmen Will go with whiz,
Each base ball man will know his biz,
The three-legged racers will tumble
and flop,
You will think the fun will neverstop.
The managers intend to make every
day day that will satisfy each one,
and make him feel that he has his full
moneys worth. The prospects for rae
ing, and first class racing, was never
better. The Quadrant Circuit opens
here. The circuit includes Cresco,
Preston and Waukon. The four places
offer about $1,000 in premiums.
Enough so that good horses can afford
to come and the managers have been
assured that they will come. There
will be two good herds of short horn
cattle and perhaps more; a herd of Jer-
seys and probably fine herd of Polled
Angus. Forty pens have been spoken
for for hogs. The committee has be-
gun on floral hall this week and will
have it much finer than ever. The
Winneshiek County Fair of 1898 will
not be in any respect like the fairs
where but little interest is shown but
an old time fair, such as we used to
have when it was said sin some re-
spects the Winneshiek County Fair is
more like state fair than county
fair" Now get your exhibits ready
and don't be afraid there will be toe
many. All will have a place. The
managers have state fair attractions
engaged and all they need is your pat
ronage to make them feel that the fail
is truly an appreciated and useful insti
tuition of Winneshiek county. In time,
like these every American institution
ought to be patronized and made
worthy fits name.
The managers wish your help ant
feel that if the intelligent people o
Winneshiek and adjoining counties
will lend your interest and aid the fair
of northeastern Iowa and southern
Minnesota will yet become as noted a
the Woodbury. fair of Connecticut ant
other eastern fairs. Everybody come
"UPDEGRAFF loves the old Uniol
Veterans" Then why did he turn
down VIM. n. Irvine at Oelwien t
appoint heller by the name ofStur
gis, name that has become notorious
in connection with the bank failur
there? Or why was Comrade Burli

N. III. Spears and his petitioners of TIN
rank and file of the party refused tn

put in? Or ex-soldier Grannis at Rand
ALA showed aside for another? Or tn
old soldier at Arlington, o. H Osborne
thrown down and the Updegraff poll

examples over in Fayette county wer
not newspaper men" but good car
able citizens, and the charge, or excuse
of an Updegraff paper that they wer
incompetent" is unwarranted and al
additional insult to these old soldier
and their friends Wdukon Standard
And why did he turn down Conrad
Chas. Sydow at Conover and appoint
life long democratic, previous to tina
time. And why did he completed
disregard the petition of the q. A. r

choice, a son of an old soldier, on tn
pension board and instead appoin
