THE COMING FAIR.


The officers OF the fair are now 80
sure OF success this year that they say
only bad weather can prevent us from
having the biggest fair in attractions, ex-
hibts and attendance ever held in Au-
dubon county. Several things are con-
tributing to this feeling. One is the big
crop prospects aad generally prosperous
condition OF our people. Another rea-
son is the extra exertions expended by
the management Of the fair to improve
it.
Among the improvements on the
ground this year is substantial and
attractive new floral hall. 1t is like a
cross, either part Of the two parts being
22x66 feet. This makes very nice and
roomy building, To the Forth OF this
is new eating hall 20x44. Then there
is new hog barn 2ixl00, containing 40
pens and new cattle barn 26x56 and
new ticket office. These buildings all
add very much to the convenience OF
exhibitors and those who attend.
The officers say they are now assured
that the cattle and hog barns will be
filled with exhibits and that other lines
will be good. The field of horses also
promises excellent
Talk the fair up among your neighbors
and help make il success.

Weather and Crop Report.

Des Moines, Iowa, August 6, 1900
The week ending Monday a. m. Aug.
9th, was warmer than usual, the daily
excess ranging from 8 to degrees. And
it was rainless, except light showers in
portions of the northeastern quarter OF
the state.
The conditions have been favorable
for securing grain in shock, and pre-
venting further damage from effects Of
excessive rains in previous weeks. Good
progress has been made in stacking and
threshing, with variable yield.
The dry and hot weather has been
very beneficial to corn in the larger part
OF the state, and especially in places re-
Gently visited by excessive rainfall. In
a few localities late planted corn on
thin soil needs more rain to develop the
ears, The early planted corn is nearing
full roasting ear stage, and most of il is
beyond serious injury from drouth.
The regular August crop reports from
county and township correspondents
show the following averages in condi.
ton: Corn lO5 per cent; millet 90; flax 95;
buck wheat 81; broom corn "a, sorghum
81; apples 20; grapes n; pastures 81; po-
tatoes 90.
In 1899 corresponding conditions were
as follows: Corn 30; millet "a; flax 95;
buckwheat 80; broom corn SO; sorghum
81; apples SO; grapes AZ; pastures "a; po-
tatoes 100.

Three OF the young ladies from Anita,
who are here attending normal, Jennie
Donaldson, Lizzie Hennick, and Hattie
Conley, are all very sick. They drank
some ice water last Monday afternoon
over at the school house and it seems
that there was some poison in the ice.
Miss Donaldson was the first one to be
taken sick, which was on Monday night
and she lay Unconscious all Tuesday at the
home OF Deputy Sheriff Humphrey, and
as she was somewhat better in the even.
ing she was moved over TO Sheriff An
derson's, and is much better at present.
Her parents arrived here Tuesday night.
The two latter, Miss Hinnick and
Miss Conley we're not taken sick I'M
til Tuesday evening when DIR. A. l..
Brooks was again summoned for them.
Miss Conley was much worse yesterday
than the other two, her condition caus-
ing alarm. The two latters' parents ar
rived here last night to assist in caring
for them.

The editor OF this paper and his fam
lily spent few days at Wall Lake last
week. The boating and bathing are ex.
celent. The fishing is fairly good. We
do not exaggerate about fishing. Some
people do. Now there is John Refine
mund, and there is A. j. Phillips, and
there used to be John Kate, all OF whom
can relate wonderful descriptions Of the
size and OF the number Of their catches,
and if they are in crowd, the last one
telling Of his catch was sure to have had
the biggest experience. And there
are others. Speaking of boating, A.
J. Phillips has the prettiest and the
fastest boat on the lake. 1t is
hight and small, built perfectly for speed
and grace. The metal parts are all
nickle and it is beauty in every way.
When he and John Kate owned it to-
gether, it was named Alice for Johns
little daughter. Now it is named Viola
for Mr.. Phillips daughter. Mr.. Phillips
knows how to sail it. We saw him sail
in both calm and windy weather and he
can do credit to himself in either.

Dan Kerwin and John Morrissey have
bought out the Coats Bros. stock bust
ness, taking possession last Saturday
morning. Both Kerwin and Morrissey
are enterprising business men and there
is no doubt but that they will succeed.
The Coats brothers, John and Patrick,
have been in the stock business here for
several years and have been success sful.
They will visit friends week or so at
Carroll after which they will go to Grip
pie Creek, Colo, where they have a
brother. Whether they will remain per.
manently there will depend some on
whether Patrick, who is in poor health
improves while there.

"They have" said a railroad man, "a
primitive method OF cooling water in
Mexico and Central America. The
principal is perfectly simple. but there
Is certain knack about the thing that
have never known n white man to
fully acquire.
"When n native In one of the broiling
hot little villages Of interior Nicaragua
wants to cool some water, she fills a
half gallon earthenware jar about two
thirds full. Parenthetically say She

more energy than any male Nicara-
guam was ever known to possess. The
jar Is made Of baked clay, and, not be-
Ing glazed, Is partially porous and soon
becomes moist on the outside. Two
leather straps are firmly attached to
the neck, and, selling these In her
hands, she begins to rotate the Jar
swiftly In the air. The mouth is wide
open, but centrifugal action keeps the
liquid from flying out.

might set me down as prize liar.
Generally the lord and master lies In

smoking a cigarette and watching the
operation languidly. When the wom-

During the civil war as we'll as in
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
one of the worst diseases the army had
to contend with. In many instances it
became chronic and the old soldiers
still suffer from it. Mr.. David Taylor,

one of these. He uses Chamberlain S

would give him such quick relief. 1t

In another column will be found the
announcement for Judge Smiths speak
ing here the afternoon of convention
day, September S. The convention meets
at IL a. M The temporary organization
will be before noon and the reporting of
committees and the nominating of a
ticket will be proceeded with after din
ner. The speech will be at the close of
the convention, perhaps at 3 o'clock. If
the weather is good it will be in the park.
The convention itself draws a good
crowd and, with the attraction of a
speech by SO good an orator as Judge
Smith, our candidate for congress, we
will have an immens crowd. People of
all political beliefs are invited. Make it
big day. 1t is the first gun of the
campaign.

l.. G. Christensen, of Douglas, was
in Monday paying to the j. r.. Rice nurs-
cry Of Council Bluffs, bill OF $55. He
says the agent used not only the fine
arts Of the smooth talker in getting the
order, but some smart tricks Of decep-
ton. Mr.. Christensen says the agents
talk and their verbal agreement were
not like what showed up in a written
agreement which was part Of the order
which he signed. The fact was he did
not know there was an agreement in the
order. The verbal agr cement was that
81 was to be paid on delivery and Sll
each year for four years without inter-
est and the nursery company was to
trim the orchard. The written agree.
ment required cash soon after delivery.
The company required him to stay by
the written agreement. Mr.. Christen-
sen says he has learned few things by
the transaction and one is to pay little
attention to verbal agreements but
much to what he signs. Another thing
is he will hereafter prefer to buy of
home men. He says the stuff he got
should not have cost more than $50.
