THE STATE DAIRY e
Representatives of the States Best
Industry fleet.

On Tuesday the buttermakers of
the state assembled in conventionin
the clay OF Aberdeen and remained in
session two days. 1t was the twelfth
annual meeting of the State Dairymen
and Ruttermaker's Association. The
red badges of the buttermakers were
every where in evidence. This badge
was decidedly pretty, a very good pic
ture of Gov. G. N. Herried being sus-
pended above the ribbon.
The time OF the session was taken
up in the discussion Of matters per-
tanning to the conduct of creameries,
being too technical to the general in
terest, but apparently well calculated
to be most profitable to the profess
ional buttermaker.
The attendance was good and about
every loft the state was represented.
One fact caused general remark and
that was that the delegates were all
young men, the president, Leland
Griffin Of DeSmet, coming nearest to
the appearance Of being venerable.
IC. P. SHERWOOD of DeSmet, state food
and Dairy Commissioner is the efici-
ent secetary Of the association. The
two most notable papers were Benitit
of Dairy Schooling by Prof. Wheaton.
and The Dairy Cow by Prof. Wilson
of Brookings.
A large number of tubs Of butter
were entered in a competitive test
and the first place won by n of the
Brookings boys, E. II. Baldwin, whose
test was97. The second place was won
by Carl Hartwig of Frederick whose
product tested 964. The tub of r.
! Bliss Of Hecla tested 93 and of r. r.
Smith Of the Houghton creamery 92t.

NEW ATTRACTIONS
For The State Fair to be Held
September 2I.26.
Fourteen Shows of the Ferari Car
nival Company Engaged
at Great Expense.

At great expense the officers OF
the State Fair Association have en-
gagged the fourteen shows OF the
Ferari Carnival Company for the
big fair which will be held in
Greensboro next week. This at
traction is one of the largest that
has ever been engaged for fair in
any but the large cities and costs a
large sum OF money The officers of
the fair, however, are not sparing
any expense to make this the best
fair that has ever been given in
Kentucky and in spite of the cost
engaged the Ferari company. This
company is acknowledged to be the
leading attraction of its kird 10 the
country, carrying 80 people and
never showing in small cities.
The engagement of the carnival
company means that the state fair
this year is to have many more at
fractions than ever before and that
it will be run on a much more elab-
crate scale. Those interested in
the fair are confident that the ad-
dition of the Ferari shows will be a
big drawing card and they are ju-
bilant over the engagement of it.
The company is now showing in
Louisville in connection with the
carnival of the Central Labor Union
and has attracted large crowds
each day. They have given uni
versal satisfaction and it is conced-
ed to be the best carnival company
ever seen in Louisville.
The attractions of the company
number fourteen besides the free
shows, which are five in number
The most famous of the shows is
the loop-the.loop, which is done by
Diavolo on a bicycle, 1t is one o.
the most daring performances ever
attempted by any man. Another
big feature is the wild animal show
exhibiting trained lions and othe
wild animals. over 40 lions ar
carried by this show and some o
them are the finest specimens il
captivity. Speedy does high dive
from a ladder 11S feet high into {
shallow tank of water; four men
ride bicycles inside a bowl shaped
track which is lifted four feet of
the floor, so that it has no bottom;
a man rides a bicycle down a long
flight of steps and there are many
other superior attractions that will
draw immense crowds to the big
fair. One fare for the round trip
on all railroads.

PRESIDENT ADDRESS.
President E. B. Long delivered
his annual address which was, IN
part, is follows:
"Gentlemen of the Kentucky
Bankers association:
at affords me great pleasure to
welcome you here. The people OF
Hopkinsville are delighted to see
you and Will be glad to show you
genuine hospitality. They are
ready togive you the best they have
in the pantry, and If there is any
thing you want and no not see, just
ask for it.
81 am glad to say that at the
present time the bankers of Ken
lucky are, in accord with the gen.
eral surroundings, in a prosperous
condition.
sin surveying the present out
look, as it presents itself to the en-
quiring mind, we notice pre-eml-
nently the marked tendency to con.
solidatIon in all branches of com.
merce and interests. = Only by
consolidation of interests can con
ditions be reached, which will eua
bic the trader to live and to pros
per to a certain extent. There il
no business in which these axiomi
are more true than in the banking
business.
1.-The pernicious principle of pay
ing interest on deposits has grow
to a ruinous extent; on the othe
hand charges for services, render
ed by banks to the public, hav
been almost eliminated, and rate
of discount have been greatly. low
cred. Notwithstanding our boast
ed progress, antiquated methods o
business, which could be improved
upon without detriment to any body
are still adhered to, to the cost o.
the bankers.
"Unfair laws, engrafted upon the
statutes of the state, giving undue
preference to the supplement
claims over bank loans, should il
my opinion receive the attention o.
this association with view to the
proper adjustment by appeal or
the part of the legislature"
The secretary, Mr., Isham Bridges
of Louisville, read his report, show
ing a membership of 1877.
The treasurer, Mr., e. w. Hayes
submitted his report, showing d
balance of S255.72 in the treasury
The chairman of the executive
committee also submitted an inter
esting report, urging the proposed
amendment to section 181 OF the
state constitution.
In the afternoon a brief session
was held, at which Mr.. John G

sion on Speculation and the Mon

Paris.-Princess Alice, in an inter.

Genoa Monday for Dresden, where she
will use every means possible to Sc
cure the speedy granting of a divorce
from her husband.
You can positively deny" she said
to the correspondent, call the reports
which have appeared about me. They
are monstrous infamies, invented by
my husband to discredit me with the
domestics who were witnesses of his
brutality and who wish to be heard BY
the judge before whom the divorce suit
will be brought. The indignities to
which was subjected by this man
have revived my courage, and I will
recoil before nothing which will en-.
able me to show his conduct"

of lives as result of the destruction
of several hundred fishing junks In a.

awful when the gale swept down on
the Chinese vessels. masts were brok-

and general destruction rife.
For days numbers of disabled junks
drifted helplessly about, their occu-

there were 400 junks fishing of Swa-

Der s. From the Stanley 81 disabled
junks were seen flying distress sig

Hong Kong and then third relief

Meanwhile three torpedo boat de-

CAPTAIN CARTER FREE.
Has Served His Four Years In the
Pen,

Pen.
Captain Oberlin M. Carter, after
serving something over four years in
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, walked forth a free man.
His case will be regarded as one of
the most sensational in the military
history of the country. He was an Of
ficer in the engineering branch of the
service, and therefore took high rank
at West Point. His ability was recog-
nized, he had strong connections, and,
when serious charges were brought
against him, he was able to bring
strong influences to work at the task
OF clearing his hitherto good name.
1t was alleged that while in charge
of important government work in the
south Captain Carter took advantage
of his position to swindle the United
States out of large sums of money,
and, while he strenuously denied the
accusation, those before whom he sat
in trial were convinced of his guilt
and decided accordingly.
With friends and money to support
his cause, the case of Carter dragged
itself through number of years, and
because of delays and interference in
high quarters the execution of Justice
was long postponed. At last, however,
when all technicalities had been ex-
hausted and the last hope of executive
clemency was gone, Carter was lodged
in prison, and for more than four
years has been paying a part of the
penalty for his wrong-doing.

GOOD ROADS BILL.
Colonel Rrownlow Again Presents II
In the house.


Washington congressman w. p.
Brownlow OF Tennessee has reintro-
uuced in the house his well known
good roads bill. Acting on the criti-
clsms OF opponents and the sugges-
lions OF friends, Colonel Brownlow has
revised the bill somewhat, but all the
important features have been presery-
ed. The new bill appropriates $24,-
100000 to be used as fund for ma
tional aid in the improvement OF high
ways. This sum is made available
during the next three years, at the rate
OF eight millions, annually. No state
or subdivision thereof can secure any
part OF this fund without raising an
amount equal to the share received.
me distribution among the several
states and territories is to be made
on an equitable basis, SO as to leave
no room for 'log rolling"
In reference to the bill, Colonel
Brownlow said:
81 think my good roads measure has
made wonderful progress during the
past year. Conventions all over the
country have Endorsed it, and num-
Der of state legislatures have adopted
resolutions in favor OF it. The num-
Der of public men who have come out
for it has exceeded my highest ex-
pectations. In the west and south
the sentiment for the bill is especially
strong. A large number of senators
and members from those sections have
assured me of their willingness to
support the measure, and it will also
have some strong support from the
eastern states, where state aid has
paved the way for national aid.
can't see how any man representing a
rural constituency can vote for river
and harbor bill and refuse to vote for
my bill. And don't see how any one
who wants the rural free mail deliv-
cry extended in his state or district
can refuse to support a measure to aid
in improving the roads, for bad roads
are almost the sole obstacle to such
extensions. l am hopeful of getting
the bill up for discussion in the house
early in the regular session"
