From the Indictment Weather.


Special to Times Republican
Nevada, Sept. 1.-THE Story county
fair closed here Saturday and from
most points Of view was failure, al
together owing to the miserable wealth
er, however Never was there bright
er prospects for a successful meeting
The exhibits, particularly In the stock
department. were of a superior class In
both quantity and quality. Every hog
pen in the grounds was filed and a
large number of new ones improvised.
Both the horse and cattle exhibits were
also splendid
The continuous and soaking rains OF
Wednesday made the racing of Thurs
day out of the question and the races
Of that day We're postponed to Friday.
The board of directors held meeting
and decided to hold the meeting over
till Saturday. There were about 1000
people on the grounds Thursday, with
no racing to amuse them, the only
sport the management We're able to
put up being ball game between
Cambridge and Roland, which was
won by the former by score of 16 to

prospects of clearing % until nearly
noon, and the crowd that day was but
little larger than the previous day. A
couple of harness races were pulled off
on slow track and a BAN game be-
tween Nevada and Ames was added to
the events of the day. The people

cLINToN's BAD MAYOR.
Citizens of That City Feel keenly the
Disgrace Brought Upon the City.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Clinton, September 14.-The residents
of Clinton, especially the business men,
feel ksenly the disgrace into which the
city has been plunged by the actions
of the mayor, WIS. Farver, who for
several months past, has figured in nu-
merous disgraceful scenes, particularly
that of appearing on the streets in a
drunken condition with prostitutes. On
more than one occasion he has driven
thru the main street of this city. with
low women, and in such a state of in
toxication that he could hardly retain
his seat in the carriage. His friends
have been urging and pleading with
him to forsake the flowing bowl and
prostitutes, but all In vain. He has
taken the liquor cure. but hardly es-
capes from the sanitarium until he is
again a fit subject for another treat
ment.
His escapades with the notorious
Mrs. Bedford and the subsequent re-
quest made by members Of the council
asking him to resign are matters with
which readers of this paper are familiar.
A night or two later according to
report, the mayor spent the greater
part of the night across the river in
Fulton, in company with Mrs. Bedford.
He has not been seen about the city
since and it is rumored that he became
involved in quarrel In Fulton and now
has pair of black eyes.
Mayor Farver was elected to fill a
vacancy caused by the death of the
late e. A. Hughes. When elected, 1t
was thought he would make good
mayor, but he could not stand under
the new condition of affairs and liquor
and low women have completely Sc
cured mastery of him. He has a wife
who is held in the highest esteem and
three children, one of whom is babe.

preparing supper. when in some way
she tipped the tea kettle spilling the
water on her leg, which was scalded
from the knee down SO terribly that
when the stocking was removed the

Iowa City.
James Bennington, a workman on
the water tower in the north end, had
a miraculous escape from instant and
horrible death Wednesday evening, at
| 6 o'clock, when he fell from the top
of the scaffold, over a hundred feet In
the air, into the steel tank, forty feet
below. In some manner the plank on
which he was standing became loosened
and caused him to plunge downward
with terrific force, In his fall striking
against several planks. which were
broken by the impact OF his body
his fall was so DETECTED that he fell in
to the water tank, empty. OF course,
and struck on the bottom, resulting in
a number of severe bruises, though not
dangerous. Medical aid was called,
and the injured man expects to be out
again shortly.
vinton.
Mrs. Henry Bassett, wife Of the but
termaker at the Vinton Creamery, hal
an experience Tuesday morning she
will not soon forget. She had gone
from her home which is near by the
creamery to get a pail of water The
pump is operated by the creamery
engine by means of piece of shafting
running thru the wall and few
feet out from the building and about
Ave feet high. When water is pumped
1t is necessary to connect this pump
shafting by means of a belt which
is thrown off the pulley when the
pump is not in use. Mrs Bassett had
called to her husband inside to throw
on the belt, which he did. AS soon as
the pail was filed with water she
started under the shafting which was
still running, on her way home. In
some manner her hair caught and in
stantly wound so tightly around the
shafting as to almost lift her off the
ground The strain on the inside belt
caused it to slip off the pulley and
probably saved Mrs Bassett from very
serious injury. Mr.. Bassett was called
by her screams and succeeded in free
ing her at once. A physician was
called and found that while the scalp
was broken free from the skull on top
Of the head, it was not likely to result
seriously. There was no break in the
skin any place about the head.

quality of amusement which was nee
essarily furnished. ALI looked for a
good day Saturday, but only to be dis
appointed Saturday forenoon few
people came to town and things looked
bright for an hour or so, when 1t
elouded up and a soaking rain about
noon did away with all IDEAS of further
racing.
The management will, in all proba-
pilitS, come out about even in finan-
eial way. While their receipts were
small, only about s1,4oo from ali
sources, they had but a few purses to
nay and few other attractions that cost
them any money. The association will
be left in practically the same financial
condition that they Were in before This
years meeting.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 18.-Former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland, who is now gun
ming on the preserves of the Black Bay
Cunning Club, in Princess Anne county,
has SO far had such poor luck that not
enough game has been bagged to send
Mrs. Cleveland her usual box preceding

1t developed in Norfolk thi safternoon
that Mr.. Cleveland and each nonresident
member of the party have laid themselves
liable to arrest and considerable fine for
violating the new game law of Virgi MIA,
which requires every nonresident to get
SO license before he shoots game in
this State. None of the Cleveland party
have obeyed this law and are now gun
done about it is an open question at this
writing. That their failure to comply
with the law was an oversight seems quite
likely 1t has already come to the notice
Of the Princess Anne authorities, but no
steps looking to the arrest of the dis
tinguished visitor and his friends have
yet been taken 1t is said that a party
of Princess Anne people called on Mr..
