THE COUNTY FAIR
Opened Yesterday Under Very Aus
piciOus Circumstances.


If the first day of the Winneshiek
County Fair is any criterion of the.
succeeding days, it will surely be the
biggest fair ever held in this part of
Iowa. There were over twice as many
in attendance yesterday as the first
day of last year, and everything started
out with an earnestness and vim that
foretells great success. The floral amt
agricultural halls are well filled with
many of the things generally found in
them, besides new and novel displays
of every description. The grounds are
packed with refreshment stands, mer-
ry-go-round, large bowery, ETC., etc.
The display of stock bids fair to-
exceed all former years, prominent
among them being sherd of bfoodetf
cattle shown by John Wingate & Son.,
which every fair visitor should see.
They are certainly fine and worthy of
a close inspection. We will not par
ticularize any other displays until
next week, but urge every citizen Of
the county to attend and see for
themselves.
AT 80 o'clock Yesterday the Deco
rah City Band marched to the grounds,
and played during the afternoon. The
acrobatic performance by the Arabs
exceeded all expectations, and demon
strated that they will be one Of the
leading attractions. The Special
Pacing Race and Pony Running Race

Yankton, S. d., Oct. 27.-Former
United States Senator Moody, of Dead
wood, gives a new version of the SEN
sational gold discovery in the Black
Hills by Otto Grantz. Senator Moody
said: "Grantz took to Denver only
few sacks of the ore. but they net
ted him $4,000. 1t is the richest ma
tive rock ever unearthed in the hills,
and its discovery was an accident,
after 20 years of unremitting search
on the part of Grantz. The sudden
discovery almost turned Grantz's head.
The gold fields OF the hills have as yet
only been prospected, and their de-
velopment has hardly been started"

OUR COUNTRY: First. Last and Forever
The Republicans Can Win.

The time has come now for every
Republican to be up and doing in
order that the party vote at the
coming election, now so near at hand,
be made as large as possible. In the
opinion of careful political observers
the Republicans of this county never
had better chance to win than they
have this year, but the danger of
over-confdence always looms up.
We sincerely trust, however, that
on this occasion no Republican will
underestimate the value, not only of
his own vote, but of his personal
effort to add something to the grand
total If they all realize the value of
this the majority for each and every
one of the candidates will be of i'm
posing proportions. Then each will
be in a position to enjoy the fruits of
victory.
The Republicans have a uniformity
strong county ticket, every candidate
being fitted for the office to which he
aspires, headed by D. c. Henning for
Judge. q. A. Doerflinger will make a
splendid treasurer. He is a gentle.
man of distinction as we'll as ability
and will make most courteous and
obliging public official. 1t is recog-
nized as the proper time to elect two
Republicans as County Commission
ers, and with this idea among the
people of every political affiliation it
is safe to say that Frank r. Kantner
and Horace Reber will occupy the
Commissioners Office during the next
three years. For Prothonotary we
have popular and able candidate in
the person of w, A. Leib, and like
wise a faithful official in Register F.
G. Reese.
In the candidate for Recorder the
miners deem it a pleasure to vote for
Emanuel Jenkyn, and he has the
support of the business element as
well. Charles E. Berger, the candi-
date for District Attorney, is pledged
to reform that office, something the
people have demanded for several
years. The name Of John T. Schooner
is known in every section of the
county, and it is safe to say he will
be reelected Clerk of the Courts.
Fred Ahrensield, nominated for
Poor Director, completes one of the
strongest tickets placed before the
people of this county in recent years.
With this splendid ticket in the
field and with an harmonious and
active county organization, the re-
suits of the election should exceed
the most sanguine expectations. The
fact that the presidential election
comes on next year should arouse
every Republican voter to make as
good showing as possible this fall.
We should urge upon the Republi-
cans Of the county to get down to
work now. Every man can devote a
small part of his time to the perform
ance Of duty in behalf Of the con
tinued prosperity Of the nation. Be
gin work now and keep it up until
the election, now only a few days

New York, Oct. 27.-Colombian Con-

dispatch yesterday from Jose Santos,
minister of war, which said: "Insurrec-
tion broken out in some villages Of the
departments of Santander, Goyaca

Consul General Espinosa said: 1T
is not true that financial matters

government informs me that the
trouble at home was caused by the at

alists, to oust the present admins
tration, Nationalist, which has been Ia
power since 1886. The Liberal party
has not yet the strength to become
alarming. BY becoming the aggressor
it has given the administration party
the opportunity to proclaim martial
law and issue paper money. Our laws
pr tlibit the Importation of arms.
Nevertheless, we have three boats
patrolling our northern coast and one
boat on our western coast to prevent
iilibustering. So you see we have both

MARRIAGE AS A BUSINESS.

Deserted His Bride or Few Weeks
and Robbed Her of Fortune.
Rochester, Oct 27.-Mrs. Mary Jane
Colthar, aged As years, of Bunker Hill
Ills, whose husband died two years
ago, leaving her a farm and $4,000, is
penniless in this city, having been rob-
bed Of s4075 by a New York confidence
man. Her story has been verified by
the Rochester police.
Two months ago Mrs. Colthar, by q
letter of introduction through an
agency began a correspondence with
James Monroe. A few weeks later, by
appointment, they met In Indianapolis,
and the same afternoon were married
The following day they started, to-
gether with Mrs. Colthar's 11-year-old
daughter for New York TO witness the
Dewey day celebration. Before go
ing, however. Mrs Colthar placed a
1900 mortgage on the farm and drew
S2,100 from the bank.
The trio arrived in Rochester a few
days ago, and Monroe proposed to en-
gage In the drug business and pre-
vailed upon his wife to loan him $4,-
075 and started for New York, osten-
sibly to purchase stock for the store.
He has not been seen since. On We'd
nesday Mrs. Colthar received a letter
from him, in New York saying he had
been robbed and advising her to re-
turn to Bunker Hill Mrs. Colthar has
found employment as a nurse here.

LOSSES FROM FOREST FIRES.
Land Commissioner Herman Says
Twenty Million Dollars Annually.

Land Commissioner Herman Says
Twenty Million Dollars Annually.
Washington, Oct. 27.-The annual
report of Commissioner Hermann, of
the general land office, shows a grand
total of 929, ,3O8, ,O68 acres of unappro-
priated and unreserved public lands
in the United States. The disposals of
public lands during the fiscal year
show an increase of 72S,516 acres, as
compared with the aggregate of the
previous year. The total cash receipts
of the service increased $792,142 over
last year.
The commissioner makes a num-
ber of recommendations Protection
against forest fires is especially urged.
1t is estimated that the average yearly
loss from this cause is not les than
S20,000,000. The proper utilization of
the grazing lands on the public domain
also is urged, and it is pointed out that
so long as the laws require millmen
and other lumbermen to pay a fair
price to the government for timber
supplies drawn from public lands there
should be an equal charge levied on
the grazing products of public lands.

Connellsville. Pa, oct. Connells-
Vile still suffers from the forest fires
on Chestnut hill. Yesterday electric
lights had to be burned in all the Of
fees and houses, as the sun was com
pletely shut out. Wednesday night the
flames leaping ten feet high. came
down Scissor Park and threatened the
store building of the South Connells-
vile Merchandise and Supply com
pany at South Connellsville. A large
force of men fought the fire for sew
eral hours. A row of houses on the
outskirts of town was threatened and
the people remained up all night, keep
ing the flames back.
A Ligonier dispatch says: Mrs.
James d. Love, of Fort Palmer, had a
frightful experience on Tuesday with
the forest fire now raging on Chestnut
Ridge. She was on her way over the
ridge when the flames came sweeping
toward the road a quarter of a mile
wide. Her horse became unmanage-
able, and the dense smoke almost suf-
fOcated her BY extraordinary efforts
she managed to escape the rush of the
flames. Shortly after her escape from
the fire the road over which she pass
ed, being covered with six inches of
leaves, was all ablaze.
At Blairsville the public schools are
closed on account of the dense smoke
that fills the town from the fierce fires
raging in the forests The children
could not study for the choking smoke.
and besides, the excitement over the
fires is too great.
The whole country for 10 miles
round about Greensburg is enshrouded
in dense smoke emanating from the
forest fires on Chestnut Ridge. The
Bell telephone line to Ligoner has been
damaged by falling timber. The loss
to timber owners is very large. The
farmers thus far have been able to
save their homes. but the worst fears
are felt.
Fires are burning in the mountains
on all sides of Johnstown. A pail of
smoke has hung over the city for sew
eral days. The light wind Wednesday
saved much valuable property between
here and Scalp Level, as the farmers
had time to fire back" on all sides.
Flames are sweeping the woods on
both sides the Allegheny and Negro
ranges in the vicinity of Meyersdale,
and great damage is being done to tim
Der, fences, etc. Smoke hangs over
the town in dense clouds. Word reach
ed there yesterday that at point on
the National pike near Pocahontas
dwellings, saw mills and barns are
menaced by the flames, and that con-
tinuous fighting is necessary to pre-
vent their destruction.
