COUNTY FAIR A SUCCESS
HAD GOOD WEATHER AND VERY
LARGE ATTENDANCE
Nash's Corn Show Winner The
Exhibits of Hogs and Cattle
Better Than Usual

The Audubon County fair had very
successful session last week Some peo-
pie had prophesied that wrong date
had been chosen; that an equinoctial
storm would surely come and spoil the
thing But it turns out that prophets
of evil sometimes make q, mistake and
that was our good fortune for this year
Tuesday evening brought heavy
shower which laid the dust for the en-
tire week Wednesday was little too
cool for comfort but Thursday, Friday
and Saturday gave us beautiful wealth
er. Thursday brought the big crowd
and some think it was record breaker
for attendance.
The races and the exhibits were about
the same as usual, on an average, some
better and others not so good. A new
thing and the best on exhibition was the
Corn Exhibit under the supervision of
John A. Nash. The showing was very
fine, but not nearly so large as it might
and should have been Many farmers
who looked the exhibit over claimed
they had corn to beat what they saw.
1t il to be le3retted they did rot bring it
in so that others might have chance to
see it. Mr.. Nash has kindly furnished
us with list of premiums awarded on
corn but owing to lack of sufficient help
spoken of elsewhere we have not been
able to set it for this week issue.

The Balloon Ascension

The most attractive feature of the
county fair was the balloon ascension.
Many times in the past the attempt has
been failure, but this year it was
great success. The first day it sailed
across the town, making very pretty
sight and dropped in jake Wright S corn
field, the balloonist alighting on the
Owen farm. jake refused to let the
men have the balloon until the fair Off
Gals sent an order and paid him a dollar
for the damage. The second day it went
east and came down in Doctor Weigh
tons pasture. The third day it went to
the north west. He carried the lion cub
up short distance and let him down
easy so that he would not be injured.

Still Hale And Hearty

Last Friday we had a short visit with
Uncle William Bintner who was just
returning from swing around the cir
Gle, having visited with his son Nicholas
Bintner near Platsmouth, Nebraska;
daughter at Column bus, Nebraska, then
another one of his girls in South Dakota
and lastly at his former home in Cascade,
Iowa. At Epworth in this state he had
a good old visit with his comrade in
arms during the civil war, Mr.. Michael
McDermott, both having been members
of Company |, Twelfth Iowa Infantry
who received such severe wound in the
hip at Spanish Fort, Alabama, near the
close of the civil war that he is still lame
from it's effects. Mr. Bintner looks much
rejuvenated by the sojourn with his
children, and his many friends in this
county are exceedingly glad of it. After
a day or two here at the county fair he
took the south bound Rock Island train
and proceeded on the way to the old
homestead, three miles south of Extra,
occupied by his son, Will L. Bintner,
and family where he makes his home.

Better Cut 1t Out

Buirl Carper was arrested yesterday
morning upon information filed by City
Marshal Darnold, charging him with
bringing jug of whiskey down from
Manning for William Rucker He plead
guilty and Justice White fined him 500
and costs or 30 days in Jail. Not being
able or willing to pay he took the
other alternative, but in the afternoon
Mr.. Rucker appeared, filed bond and
appealed the case to the district court.
Pending the appeal Carper was released.
The law distinctly specifies what the
punishment shall be for transporting in
toxicating liquor for another. 1t ought
to be amended so that the mani for whom
it is transported should be fined the
same amount. If Rucker employed Car
per to bring him Jug of whiskey he
should have the same punishment.

WILL CROSS ATLANTIC.
st. Louis Man Promises Much in
Aerial Navigation.

New York, March Sin this day
of prophecy and experiment concern
ing airships and the many predictions
as to when and how we. will all be
flying, Joseph Brucker, formerly COM
missioner to Germany for the st.
Louis Worlds fair, leads the list of
prophets and enthusiasts by an an
nouncement that he has under con-
sideration a plan to send the first
steerable airship across the Atlantic
ocean. Mr.. Brucker says that he has
discussed the mater with the foremost
aeronauts and scientists of Europe
and he firmly believes that his project
is feasible. He is relying, however:
on the approval and cooperation of
King Alfonso of Spain, who is great
ly interested in the development of the
flying machine. Mr.. Bucker's plan
in a nutshell is to start his expedition
in the air from Cadiz, Spain, or some
other coast town, drift with trade
winds to the Canary, Madeira and the
Cape Verde islands and then directly
across the Atlantic to the West Indies
He proposes to make the start about
July 20, taking advantage OF a full
moon, and says that the voyage should
be made inside of five days.
