BILLS BEING PAID.
Holton's Rival Fairs are Ended-Last
Days Races.
Especial Correspondence


Holton, Sept. 3.-The promoters of the
rival fairs are very gamey and pay ev-
cry bill as fast as presented. The final
result will not be known for some time.
This is done largely from the fact
that the business men of HoltOn realize
that they are bound to be gamers, on
account OF the great amount of adVer-
Using, the unique circumstances of a
town of $500 inhabitants supporting
two successful county fairs at the same
time, affords them.
1t is believed that the attendance at
each place was larger than it would
have been if the other did not exist. At
the kite track, besides the free-for-an
pace and two running races, there was
a flower parade and two premiums
awarded for the best and second best
looking Indian costume worn by an In
dian. About seventeen SquaWS, men
and children presented themselves to
the reluctant judges. The crowd cheered
very Justify when this parade appeared
before the grand stand, partly because
they appreciated that the judges were
somewhat embarrassed in arriving at a
standard of excellencey, and principal
Iy for the reason that it was q new and
interesting Kind of contest.
The judges awarded the first pre-
MUM to a much-bespang1ed and beaded
chief-and the second to a blushing
maiden.
There was also a very creditable dis
play Of decorated vehicles. Three pri-
zes were awarded in this contest. The
first was won by Mrs. Charles Morris;
the second by Miss BERTHE Stanley, and
the third by Miss GOlders.
The free-for-an pace was very holly
contested, and if it had not been for
the fact that the wind blew such a gale
which the horses had to face, in APP
preaching the wire, some remarkable
fast time could have been made.
Bob Riley won the three straight
heats, although the first and second
heats were holly contested, as will be
seen by the following summary:

quently disaster and disgrace would
have been the result to this country il
there had been an unwise beginning OF
the war.
Probably no man in all this land has
been so really anxious for a movement
ION to Cuba" as Gen. Miles. The iuva-
sion of Cuba has been on his mind ever
since war was declared. Upon him has
rested the responsibility of conducting
the organization and mobilization OF
tle army. He has been obliged to over
see all preparations for mastering the
soldiers, for clothing them, for feeding
them, for transporting them on cars and
ships and for making safe landing on
Cuban soil. With all these things on
his mind, while you and have been
attending to our daily duties, it is safe
to say that he has been more intent on
the invasion of Cuba than all of the ed
itors, writers, public speakers and gen.
eral wranglers for prompt action.
In addition to the possibility thus
briefly outlined, Gen. Miles has been
obliged to study the international pos
sibilities of failure. II he had been hur-
ried into any false movement, which
might have cost the loss Of thousandso of
lives and the complete failure of our
cause, the country would never have
forgiven him, and his brilliant career
would have been ended in disgrace,
With all Of these matters weighing up
on his mind do you wonder that he has
given no heed to the clamor crystal
LIKED in the unreasonable demand that
the army should at once move ION to
Cuba?" II is well-known that the So
called Cuisines interests" of the coun-
try opposed the war and endeavored TO
control the administration at Washing
ton, but unsuccessfully. The people OF
the country believed that there was
ample cause for war in the destruction
of their battleship. So the war really
began at 9:40 p. IN. in Havana harbor
February Is, 1898.
While the court of inquiry was deib

CHOOSING A LOCATION.
Some Points to BE Considered by
Farmers who Intend TO Go In
the Poultry Business.

In the location OF poultry plant
there are at least two very important
items to be duly weighed, writes a cor
respondent in Poultry Monthly. The
first Is the selection of suitable neigh
borhood or vicinity, available to good
market. The second is securing the
right site in given neighborhood-the
site that will afford the fowls what they
require in the way of health and range
opportunities. Speaking generally, the
nearer a poultryman can get to his
adopted market where he disposes OF
his fresh eggs, poultry. etc, the better,
for obvious reasons. But, on the other
hand, it is best to keep out OF the city
limits, as in a small town or village
land is much cheaper taxes are lower
and there are less restrictions than in
city. So get as near the city as you
can get without getting into II and have
an eye to good easy roads connecting
your plant with your market. Time is
money, and it is expensive driving ter
miles TO market, when five are all that
should be necessary. Then as to site;
would place highness and dryness as
Of principal importance. Cold is not
nearly so bad and unhealthy for fowl:
as dampness, the fosterer of colds, lune
trouble ard roup. Build your houses, u
possible, upon high and dry hills OIL
knobs, with sandy or gravelly soil ant
| free natural drainage.

ton of $j0,000,000 "for the national de.
Tense" On March S the bill was passed
by the house Of representatives, and on
March it was passed by the senate
without debate. The people were impa.
tient because it was not until April S
that Consul-General Lee was recalled,
and it was rot until April 10 that he left
Havana. On the following day, April
II, President Mckinley asked the con.
gress for authority TO intervene in Gu.
ba. II was not until April 10 that the
congress passed the Intervention reso-
lutions.
Still the people were impatient, al.
though war was coming on fast enough
On April 90 an ultimatum was sent TO
Spain. On April 81 Spain gave Minister
Woodford his passports. On April 90
the blockade Of Cuban ports was pro.
claimed. On April 20 the president
called for $4,000 volunteers. On April
2j state OF war was declared by con.
gress to have existed from April 81, and
on April ~ Matanzas was bombarded.
Still the people were impatient until
news came that on May Commodore
Dewey had attacked and completely de.
stroyed the Spanish feet In the harbor
OF Manila. on the Philippine Islands,
Then the people began to feel that a
state Of war actually existed and that
the administration at Washington in.
tended to prosecute the war with vigor.
But still the cry Of "On TO Cuba" was
continued in many sources. Noatten.
ton was paid to the cry by the admin.
istration, because the president and
others clothed with responsibility as
well as authority determined that there
should be no mistakes made which
could be avoided. Gen. Miles authorized
an interview in which he said: 81 have
never sacrificed the men under my COM
mand, and ] do not propose TO subject
them TO any unnecessary risks in the
present campaign. No officer is fl for
command who would needlessly risk
the life of single soldier, either from
disease or from the bullets of the enc.
my" He did not intend to send soldiers
TO Cuba prematurely, TO die Of yellow
fever and other climatic diseases, with.
out firing shot at the enemy. He was
right.
No other nation In the world could
have enlisted, mustered, armed,
equipped and sent to the field an army
of more than quarter of a million OF
men in one month. Moreover, no other
nation could have been able 10 arouse it.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Pollen stored in hives is known as
bee bread.
Nothing irritates bees so much as a
sudden jar.
The farmer needs bees 10 fertilize his
fruit and clover.
Comb foundation in the brood nest
is most valuable.
When water is not convenient it
should be supplied.
In attempting to move bees be sure
that every exit is closed.
Bees need the most attention during
the spring and early summer.
The queen is much larger and slim
mer than the drones or workers.
A bee flies in direct line, and will
not fly up or down TO come into your
face.
BY keeping the entrances to the hives
contracted in the early spring robbing
may be largely prevented.
Drone comb should never be used tc
hive new swarms upon, especially il
surplus is the main purpose.
The drones are the male bees and ar,
not so long as the queens, but are stout
or and more robust than either III,
queen or the workers.-St. Louis Re
uub,ic,
