Are You Coming TO the Fair?

We want to say word about the
county fair, and we hope that every
reader will arrange to come to De-
corah, for we believe the fair this
year will surpass any ever held in the
city Secretary Waterbury has been
spending all his time for several weeks
preparing for this event, and the pro-
gram that has been arranged is the
most elaborate and expensive of any
thing we have had III many years. 1t
includes in the list of attractions an
array of talent and amusements that
will amuse and delight the crowds
every minute, and we think that
without doubt everyone will be high
ly pleased with the entertainment
provided. Arrange TO exhibit some
thing, bring in your whole family,
meet your neighbors and friends, and
let's have fair this year that will be
a hummer, and enable the association
TO do better than ever next year.
Nothing but shortage of attendance
this year will prevent Winnesheik
county from having the best fair in
its history. Read the list of attrac-
tions in the display advertisement in
this issue.

Big Explosion at Cedar Falls.

An explosion in the rear of George
Sheerer q Co.'S hardware store at
Cedar Falls Sunday night started a
blaze that has done damage to the ex-
tent of practically $4,000. The
origi of the flames, aside from the
fact that it was an explosion in the
hardware store, is not known. 1t is
believed by many that a quantity of
dynamite that was kept in stock in
some manner was Jared. causing it
to explode. Another theory is that
escaping gas ignited and set fire to
the building, setting off the dyna-
mite. The shock of the explosion
was felt over the city and hundreds
of windows were broken for blocks
around the scene of the fire.
Three buildings are burned to the
ground. The loss on them is esti-
mated at $50, coo and on their con-
tents $40, 600. The buildings are:
The Boston store building owned
by w. FL. McNally, $40, 900.
Sheerer building. owned by r. w.
.Christy, $4,000.
Carpenter building, owned by Will
Carpenter, 50, go.
The Mat With Novelty Co., the
Graham Dry Goods Go. and the
Owan cafe also suffered lesser losses.
In the Boston store block. Drs. Van

and it is safe to assume that even he hasn't
the faintest idea Of what the sum would
look like in real money. And, this being
the case it can hardly be supposed that the
ordinary individual who makes thousand
or two a year, and who, if he lives long
enough, may earn, by the sweat of his
brow, a grand total of hundred thousand
or so, can have any conception at all of
what is meant by "a billion of dollars"
Yet the Congress of the United States.
without thinking about the matter over
long, lays aside that vast sum-or within
a few millions of it-so that the govern
ment may scratch along as best it may for
another twelvemonth. The average con-
gresham who nonchalantly votes AYE"

or that purpose would probably never pass
quietly away if he should, by some rare
chance, see that sum piled up in minted
pieces-in shining silver or yellow gold.

Up at the Treasury Department, where
men handle money with shovel, and give
less serious thought to the minted coin in
the vaults than to-the precious coal in the
cellar bin at home, some mathematical
sharp occasionally turns himself loose in
the realm of figures and comparisons, in an
effort to get some idea of what such vast
sum as billion would look like-in cash.
This was the case the other day, just after
Congress adjourned, and when it was an

A Political Puzzle.


From the Boston Herald.
Mac Dideout, one of the republican war
horses of Cambridge, in comparing the
present methods of getting nomination
with those of the past, at political gath
ering the other evening, told the following
story to illustrate the old method. In those
days, he said, it was the custom for a man
who desired a nomination to appoint a man
ager, give him a roll and then get ready 10
take the place.
One Cambridge aspirant OF his acquaint-
ance tried that method once and when the
votes were counted he found that he had re-
ceived four votes. Speaking to his manager
about Ii, the latter said: Il don't under
stand It," You voted for yourself. didn't
you?" said the manager to the aspirant.
The latter replied that he did. And your
son voted for your Yes" And your
son-inlaw?'' Yes" Well" said the
manager, II don't understand where that
other vote came FROM.

Impossible to give away a billion dollars in

side by side, would extend from one city
to the other. The billion. In tcn-dollar
bills, placed end to end, would reach from
Washington to Calcutta. via London and
there would still be enough left to circle
the latter city many times. In twenty
dollar gold certificates the yellow chain
would reach from Washington to Rio de
Janeiro.
Some curious bets have been made which
go to show the magnitude of even one
million of any given thing. Some years
ago an Englshman wagered $4,000 that
he could write the figure - a million
times in thirty days. He worked from
fourteen to eighteen hours day at the
tedius task, broke down on the twenty
fourth day, rested forty eight hours. and
on the thirtieth day was nervous wreck.
