A. G. Jackson has a fine display of

In the line of pantry stores there is

THE ENTRIES.
The list of entries have never been
better for a first day than those that
came in Tuesday and there was a
large number of them.
The best showing made on the
grounds perhaps is in the way of
poultry show, that is the first day
showing. There was much to do this
Wednesday morning, and many 9TH
er exhibits came in making one of
the best shows that has ever been
seen in the county. Talk about the
Farmers Institute getting away with
the county fair. Nonsense. There
are no poultry shows at the institute
and here at the fair is where you get
your moneys worth in this line.
SWINE.
There is an excellent showing made
at the pig pens. W. S. Bland shJws
some fine Chester Whites, while
Hoover and Harrison have things all
their own way i'll the Poland China
breeds. William and @. w. Reid, of
Mauch Chunk, have their Duroc Jer-
sey herd down and they are attract
ing more attention every year.
j. R. Hoover entered his sheep on
Tuesday, and he has a fine lot that all
wool growers should see.
THE ART HALL.
The Art Hall was a busy place on
Tuesday and there was much work to
do Wednesday morning, but by noon
all the available space had been taken
and everything was in readiness for
the great crowds that are expected.
Fine displays are e on either
hand as M enters from the east.
Wilcox, the photographer, has a fine
display of his handiwork on the south
of the entrance, and on the west is
seen the fine work of my lady's needle,
and there is embroidery and lace work
and so on to content the most expert
of needle workers. Don't overlook
this particular department.
The Grinnell Extract Company is in
the hall with an exhibit of their goods.
E. d. Hawley & Co. OCCUPY the east
center with a fine display of bicycle
goods, sewing machines etc, that will
please many visitors.
The hardware firm of O. B. Gruwell
& Co. have a nice exhibition of hard
ware, stoves and ranges.
F. w. Mccall is on hand with his
marble goods and has a pretty show
in the various lines of marble and
granite.
Myers & Stevens have a showing of
musical goods and wheels that will
interest any one with an eye to that
sort of an idea.
The Oskaloosa Shoe Co. has an ele-
CANT show of footwear that was put
up and arranged by Frank Gentry. 1t
is a beauty and the young man is the
recipient of numerous compliments
on account of the excellence of the
display.
There is an excellent display of veg
etables and there is the greatest com.
petition in corn. There is a fine show,
ing made in grain, 1.-The finest that has

THE GREAT FAIR.
Opening of Mahaska County's
Annual Festival.

Mahaska's great annual fall festi-
val opened Tuesday and the day was
given to the usual preparation, but
there was double the activity there
is generally manifest at the opening
of the fair. With the earliest morn
ing hours there was a rush of the
privilege men and it has been neces-
sary to line the fellows up into
streets on the ground and the fair
will be a sort of Midway this season.
Every one has been talking of the
fair this year and if the weather man
can be prevailed upon to give the
fair some of the best in the house
there will be such a crowd as the
fair has not seen in many a year and
if the pleasant weather prevails we
predict that there will be a record
breaker.
All the officials have been on the
ground and have been busy all day.
City Clerk and County Fair Score
tary Chas. Munroe, who has gone
o.
through all Of the council meetings
and stood the torture of the same
when stronger men grew impatient
and faltered, had to confess last
night that he was tired out and was
glad to get a chance to get to his
home and the peace and quiet of!his
bed. And the officers we're all on
the ground going at a pace that
would have done credit to a 2:13 pa
Ger. There was F. D. Boyer, who
said that he had never been so busy
since he took the trip out west, but
the other directors were as busy as
was Mr. Boyer and all were seer in
their shirt sleeves or shirt waists
digging into the work of the hour in
a way that will tell. The gentlemen
who are the directors of the associa-
ton this year and wore shirt waists

Jucaro, Cuba, Sept. Gov. Gen.
Wood, after a careful canvass of the
island, will return to Havana Sun
day evening. The effect of his tour
has been excellent. Wherever he has
been he has found good order prevail
ing and the jails for the greater part
empty. The reconstruction of the
country is slow, but much is being ac-
complished. Nowhere has he seen evil
dences of suffering from hunger. The
health of the United States troops at
all points is good. The political stu
alton still retards the investment of
foreign capital, but the public school
system is steadily expanding, with the
probability that at an early date
places will be found for 100000 chill
dren.

The Platform.

ticket nominated in a speech by Gov.
Roosevelt.
The Platform.
N. NJ. Stranahan was erected perma-
nent chairman of the convention at
Tuesdays session. Senator Raines pre-
sented the platform. He read the plat
form deliberately and clearly and was
frequently %applauded. 1t was adopted
without debate. The following is a
synopsis of the platform:
1.-THE continued prosperity of the coun-
try and of the individual citizen is the
paramount issue before the people. Why
vote for a change which, tested by expert
enCe, is bound TO be for the worst? The
country was never so prosperous as it has
been since the inauguration of william Nc
kinley. Capital has never been so actively
occupied. the volume of money in circula-
ton was never so great, labor never so
fully employed, wages never so high, prices
never so generally good.
Conscious of the weakness of relying on
theories that have been exploded and of
ignoring facts that are self-evident, the
democrats are undertaking TO push into
conspicuous position before the people an
issue which they describe and stigmatize
by the word imperialism In this course
they are Enthusiastically dishonest.
Neither in the Philippines nor elsewhere
will the cause Of human liberty look for its
champion to a party whose only hope Of OBJ
tanning power lies in the suppression of hu-
mar rights and in an organized conspiracy
to nullify the guarantees with which the
constitution endeavOrs to surround the cit
izen. From thousands of polling places in
this election, in which the democratic party
is so much concerned about the consent of
the governed the negro citizen will be eX-
clude by laws so COntriVed as to keep out
the negro republican while admitting the
white democrats, though both present
themselves with similar qualifications eX-
cept as to color. The party which will not
allow the constitution to follow the flag
through the Cardinals, through Mississippi
and Texas has no occasion to distress itself
about the constitutions Journey 1000 miles
across the ocean. There is no middle
course between responsibility for the gov
eminent of the Philippines and abandoning
them to be seized by some other power.
The democratic plan of comforting sover-
eign rights upon the Filipinos and at the
same time establishing a protectorate over
them is impracticable. 1t is responsibility
without authority.
w indOrse the administration of PTesi-
dent Mckinley and urge his reelection.
w congratulate the people upon the
nomination for vice president Of Gov.
Roosevelt, whose high place in the admira-
ton and confidence of his cOuntrymen,
achieved by long public service and espe-
Cially by his valOr and success on the field
OF battle has been distinctly advanced by
his splendid record as the governor of New
York"
The remainder of the platform is de-
voted almost entirely to state issues.
After the adoption of the platform
the convention took a recess until ten
a. IN. to-day.
