The Globe-republican., 1907-10-03

Leavenworth had an old-time coun-
ty fair this year, the first n In more
than a quarter Of a century. There
have been ace meetings and apple
carnivals in the interval, but the last
time a county fair was attempted was
in 1881, rs years ago. That the regu-
lar county fair, with its live stock,
horticultural and agricultural and 9TH
er exhibits is popular is attested by
the large crowds that attended daily.
The attendance was much greater
than was anticipated by the promoters
Of the fair. There were 10000 visitors
one day. The crowd was SO large that
1t could not be managed by the dep
uty sheriffs and special police, and a
cavalry patrol had to be used to keep
spectators off the race track. No beer
or Intoxicating liquor was sold in the
fair grounds Enclosure. This is a
unique experience for a public enter
prise of this nature In Leavenworth,
and the management is receiving IA
vorable commentator for shutting
the "joint keepers out. Gambling
was attempted the first two days, but
strong protests abolished this. Gam
blers and joint keepers picked out the
best places heretofore and did as they
pleased. The wisdom of running a
clean fair is attested by the big at
tendance, especially of women and
children.

Latest Kansas Events.
To curb the Neosho.

In a letter to Representative Charles
r. Scott, J. o. Wright, the engineer
in charge OF the drainage survey Of
the Neosho river, which the depart
ment Of agriculture has been conduct
ing for the last Is months, reports
that the work is now finished and
that he has prepared a plan which,
II. followed, he believes will protect
the lowlands lying along this river
from future overflow. While this plan
will be printed and will be ready for
distribution as a government docu-
ment within the next 80 days, Mr.
Wright suggests that he would be
willing to come to Kansas and hold
al series Of meetings at points along
the river where he could orally pre-
sent his plan to the people. He be-
lieves that in this way he could make
1t more clearly understood and prob
ably contribute to greater zeal and
harmony in any effort that may be
made to carry 1t into effect.
Mr.. Scott has arranged a series Of
meetings for Mr.. Wright to be held
the third week in October. They will
begin In Oswego Monday, October q.
Meetings will be held in Chanute,
Humboldt, Burlington and Emporia, in
the order named.

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press
OF a few days since contains account
of the success that followed the eff
forts of. William Knowles. an English
nan who located near Winnipeg. Man
itoba. This is but n Of many let
tiers giving experiences Of settlers,
and should be encouraging to those
whe are looking about for "a new
home In which they may better their
conditions. The following Is a copy
of the article referred to:
William Knowles. who c%ultivates
some twelve acres of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side Of the
Red River has probably as fine a dis
play Of horticultural products as any
in Manitoba. The whole Of his hold
ing Is in a high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have for
tunately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within a few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1900 bushels from
his patch Of Az acres. A half dozen
of tubers selected yesterday average
more than a pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen a marvellous
collection Of tomatoes. There are 900
plants, all growing under an enor.
nous weight Of fruit. One single
stock , picked yesterday contained
eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
of marvellous growth, together with
some of the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press office.
The proprietor was the first In
town with several specimens, includ-
ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and n square
patch of nearly an acre is looking re-
markably healthy. In addition there
are good crops of c~abbages, cauliflow.
er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump
kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas,
lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de-
partment has not been neglected and
a charming display of all the well
known blooms were shown, including
a specially choice lot of asters.
MI. Knowles, who gained most Of
his gardening experience in England,
is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil
for vegetable raising, and is gratifed
with the result of his first attempt at
extensive horticulture.

green; tens, blue; twenties, yellow;
fifties, pink; and hundred and over,

on wit and f1urnor.

Man is the only animal that laughs
and weeps, for he is the only animal
that is struck with the difference be-
tween what things are and what they
ought to be. We weep at what
,thwarts or exceeds our desires in seri-
Gus matters; we laugh at what only
disappoints our expectations in triles.
We shed tears from sympathy with
real and necessary distress; as we
burst into laughter from want Of SYM
pathy with that which Is unreasonable
and unnecessary, the absurdity Of
which proeokes our spleen or mirth,
rather than serious reflections on it.
William Hazlitt.
