THE COUNTY FAIR.

The people OF Denison and Crawford
c,unty are SO used to throwing cold
water Oh the county fair that they are
apt to let good thing go by unattend-
ed. The fair management has issued
a small premium list but has made the
premiums large enough to make it an
object to the farmers to bring in their
grain and other produce. The manage
ment buys all the grain at market price
there is no entry fee and the man who
has the best corn or wheat or oats.
pockets his five dollars without expense.
The races promise to be extra good. the
dates being so arranged that the horses
in the Missouri Valley circuit will all
bo here.
In addition to these attractions the
management has secured the noted
Talbot combination and their exciting
races and other events will be alone
worth the price of admission. The
Great REVIEW contests which will be
settled on Thursday, September 22d, at
the fair grounds promise to be one Of
the most interesting events of the fair
and hundreds will wish to be present to
see the final outcome of the contests
which are becoming the most exciting
ever held in the county. You cannot
afford to miss the great fair. Itaffords
an opportunity for everyone to get to-
gether for a good visit and to enjoy
themselves. This is jubilee year, the
year to celebrate the glorious victories
Of our country's arms, and to rejoice
oyer the bountiful haryests and the
prosperous good times.

Candidates for Supervisor.

We wish to call attention to the an
nouncements made in this issue of can
dldates for supervisors. 1t seems that
at least two of our citizens are willing
to take their chances against the demo
cratic candidate should they receive the
nomination. The Review wishes to
emphasize the fact that no republican
can win this fall unless there is perfect
harmony in the ranks, and we trust all
candidates who may appear will go in
to the contest with spirit of willing
ness to abide by the judgment of the
convention
MIR. Otto Hink announces himself as
candidate for nomination. He has
served one term oand has proven him
self worthy and efficient officer. AL
though elected as a republican he has
acted in an entirely non partisan man
ner in the transaction of official bust
ness and we know of no one who would
be falrer, more conservative and more
rigid in enforcing public economy.
Mr.. Ernst Stegemann, who also an
nounces himself a candidate is a splen-
did type of the intelligent we'll to-do
up-to date farmer. His success in con-
ducting his own affairs shows that he
is perfectly capable of managing. the
affairs of the county. 1t argues we'll
for republican success that two such
good men should be seeking the nomi-
nation for this office. The fact that
both of these candidates live in the
same township indicates that close
contest may be expected, but we sin
cerely trust that no hard feelings will
be engendered.

WAGNER PROPERTY SOLD
c. j. BoclS Appointed on Soldiers Relief
Committee--Sheriffa and Deputy to
Collect Deliquent Taxes.

The board of supervisors has been in
session all this week and have trans
acted much important business, besides
allowing the current bills.
Mr.. A. Smutney, of Vail, presented
a petition signed by oyer 5000 people
asking permit for the establishment
OF brewery at Vail. The board grant
ed the petition but it was ascertained
that the property was outside the in-
corporate limits and it was decided that
the law did not permit brewery out
side a corporation. 1t is said an effort
will be made to have the corporation
limits of Vail extended SC as to include
the brewery property.
The resignation of Mr.. Isaac Gillmor
as a member OF the soldiers relief com-
mission was accepted and Mr.. G. j.
Book, of West Side, was appointed to
fill the vacancy. Mr.. Gillmor resigned
on account of i'll health.
Sheriff Bell and Deputy Cummings
were appointed deliquent tax collectors
and it is the purpose of the officials to
go after the delinquents with no easy
hand.
On Wednesday, while Chairman Jep-
sen was in Marshalltown, the remainder
of the board drove to Vail where the
Wagner property was auctioned off to
the highest bidder. Supervisor Lang.
ley acted as auctioneer and the proper
ty was knocked down to Ex-Supervisor
j. w. Maynard for an even thousand
dollars. The county loses between
$40O and $500 on the transaction. The
property came into the county's possess
sion through school loan made many
years ago and the county was forced to
buy the property to protect its inter
ests.
On Thursday the board listened to
arguments on the we'll known Paradise
township road case. Mr.. Fred Eggers
appeared before the board and made an
argument which it is said would have
done credit to an old attorney.
TIE Tax Levy.
The tax levy for the year following

Colorado Springs, Col, Sept. S.
One of the most exciting contests in
the political history of Colorado is on
here, the occasion being the three
state nominating conventions of the
silverites-the silver republicans, the
democrats and the populists. In ac-
cordance with the agreement entered
into at the Glenwood Springs confer
ence, the three conventions opened,
separately and committees will be ap-
pointed by each to select guberna-
torial nominee. The prearranged plan
is to select a silver republican to head
the ticket. This is in the way of COM
promise as neither the populists nor
the democrats will agree to have the
choice made from their ranks.
Before the conventions had got we'll
under way it became evident that the
Teller-Walc feud stands as a STUN
bling block ready to prevent the
smooth-running of this we'll oiled
plan of fusion. The Wolcott delegates
are here for the purpose of working
tooth and nail to secure the defeat of
the Teller adherents and to bring
about the adoption by the silver re
publicans of a platform wholly repub-
lican in principles, except in the mat
ter of the money plank in which they
would pledge themselves for the free
coinage of silver. With such a plat
form the Wolcott people believe they
can win the greater portion of the
Colorado silver republicans back into
the administration ranks.
The Tellerites, on the other hand,
lean toward the fusion arrangement,
and the result depends getherupon
which faction of the silver republicans
succeeds in seating its delegations and
! thereby gaining the ascendency. If
the fusion deal goes through the gu
bernatorial candidate probably will
he j. NJ. Downing, of Aspen, and the
nomina tions for congressman and
the minor places on the state ticket
will be distributed between the pop
ulists and the democrats.
