unexpected attractions, though in
reality they did anticipate having a
balloon and were disappointed. The
merry-go-round is here, and it's only
live cents ride! Attractions more
real than merely eye-pleasing are to
be enjoyed at our fair. There's real
and honest pleasure to see a mule
race, and good sole tatoe" race is
the richest thing in all the world.
Trap shooting and fine racing each
day, all of these INDUCED in at

week will quickly steal away. The
weather promises to be good.
Following close on our fair comes
the first colored fair ever held in
Northumberland. This opens on

KANSAS KNOCKED OUT.
Washington Man Cites County More
"Banner" Than Sumner.

s. A. Gibson of Edwan, Washington. was
IN the city yesterday and called al the
Eagle Office to see his brother who is
assistant foreman Mr.. Gibson knocked
the Kansas pride out OF few Eagle men
who have been glorying in the suppesi-
ticn that a Kansas county, Sumner, is
the banner wheat county in the world.
Mr.. Gibson says that his county, Lincoln,
harvested a little over nine million bush
els OF wheat last year and that an ad
joining county. Whitman. harvested over
eleven million bushels. This knocks Sum-
ner county's six million yield silly In
justice to Sumner county, however. il
must be said that Lincoln county, Wash
ington. is more than 80 per cent bigger
while it did not produce more than 50 per
cent more wheat. 3ir- Gibson did not
know the area of Whitman county. Mr.
Gibson says the best yield in his state
was shown by DR.. Baker OF Walla Waila,
who threshed 5000 bushels from 10o0
acres He says. however. that the big
gest WELD for 100 acres was $500 bushels,
in Whitman county, but that the Dr. Ba-
ker yield. being from a large tract was
considered the better yield Mr.. Gibson
went to washington IN 1881 and now has
SGs0 acres He says II yields him 81 per
acre per year. although the land, at pres
eot. Is worth 10 more than s55 per acre.

HAVE WIDESPREAD SYMPATHY.
Disappointment Over the Failure Of
The Pardon of Oklahoma Farmers.

Guthrie o T., Feb. 1.-Grest interest
is taken an the refusal of the department
Of justice to pardon the men now i'm
prisoned on The charge of burning the two
Indians near the Seminole Ike. In Putta-
watomie county. the disappointment is
great. Voicing public sentiment, the Te-
cumseh Republican says.
L is to be regretted that the derart-
ment OF justice would rot consider the
ovetures made by our people in behalf
Of those persons row serving out sent
ences for kidnapping in the Seminole
burning case. AS a rule, the Republican
does not endorse the pardon route Of
shortening the confinement of men con-
victed Of crime. but in this instance. ex-
ecutive leniency. it seems 10 those who
were convicted or plead guilty to the
charge. would be justly proper and could
result Injurious 10 nc people. Most of
the men implicated in this case. were
honest. honorable and Industrious farm
ers. whose lot had fell to a settlement
in this locality 10 aid in developing the
new territory. and most Of whom have
never been accused of the slightest vio-
lation of either federal or state laws,
but under the intense excitement FRO
voked by tie horrible circumstances in
the case. were urged on to the crime OF
the furious mob whose avowed purpose
was revenge and punishment for the bru-
tai and dastardly crime which had re-
suited in the horrible death and Partial
mutilaticn Of the body of a highly re-
spected and dearly beloved wife and
mother. who had been brutaIly attacked
by the drunken Indians while the hus-
band was away from home and license
out of the question.
Itmay have been that some Of the par
ties who took part in the cremation OF
these brutes. were not of the class of men
whom good people would endorse as
model citizens. In fact no community
IN the United States would hardly be
expected TO consreeate as large a oody Of
men rs is said to have been present dur
ing this sqd occurrence. without the pres
ence Of disreputahle characters. On the
other hand no community in civiiza-
tlcu could be expected to furnish an ag-
syregation Of men as large as this one was.
