One exhibit in the swine department
that attracted much attention, was
that shown by G. Fl. Brace, of Amboy.
They were swine known as the ''mule-
footed or "Ozart'' hog, and their pc
culiarity is that they have solid hoof
| like the mule. 1t is claimed for them
that they are cholera proof. These
were fine looking animals and Mr.
| Brace has had them since March last
They were brought to this state from
| Indiana, and are said to have lived
there in yards where other hogs all
died from cholera, and were not affect
ed. They originated from the wild
Pecarry hog of southwest Texas, which
has a solid hoof and taken from there
to Missouri, where they are raised
extensively in the Ozark mountain re-
| gion. Mr.. Brace had four animals on
| exhibition and received premium on
| them.
| Fair Notes.
While the fair managers were tired
last night, they were a happy lot of
| men,
Thur sday was great day for the
politicians They were all on hand to
see the pumpkins and potatoes Of
course they had no thoughts of cleo
pioneering. But the farmer got the
glad hand just the same.
Capt. Van SAINT captured the crowd
with his talk and put everybody in
the best of humor. 1t was an able ad-
dress full of noble tributes.
Mankato turned out WELL and it was
a tired but happy crowd that came
back from Garden City last night.
There was considerable kicking at the
treatment received from the Omaha in
the way of train service on the
| ''branch. - Only one coach and COM
! bination car were given last night to
take the crowd to Lake Crystal and
as result between 30 and 40 were
obliged to ride in the baggage car,
and among them we noticed seven or
eight ladies.
