Enter Political Life.
A few years before, in 1867, Mr.. Lar
rabee was elected to the state SEN
ate. He was induced to go into politi-
cal life because his part of the country
was without railroad facilities and it
was believed that he could do some
thing to aid in the development Of the
country. The railroad to Clermont
finally came when Judge Greene and
his associates on the B. c. +. and n.
built the Deccrah division OF that road.
Mr.. Larrabee remained in the sem
ate for eighteen years. most Of the
time, as chairman of the ways and
means committee and~be was easily a
leader in the senate during all those
years. In 1886 he was elected governor
and served four years in that office.

Features of Fair Worth SEEING

tho the number is about 100 more than
any previous record, all the animals
have been taken care of and provided
with STALLS"
'This exhibit is of state fair quality"
said a disinterested judge of horses
this morning as he walked thru the
big horse barn. "The only difference
is that the animals are not brought to
sucn high finish for exhibition pur-
poses, but the stock and quality is
here. 1t must be remembered that
these animals belong to breeders and
farmers, and not to exhibitors who
devote their entire energy to preparing
their animals solely for exhibition pur-
poses" All the classes in this de-
partment have filled. The department
has in it great many ponies and
mules.
The cattle department. which con-
tains 104 pure bred and grade animals,
is fully up to the usually high quality
this department has always maintained
but the number Of animals is not quite
so large as 1t was at some Of the pre-
vious fairs.
Poultry Display Largest Ever.
The largest exhibit of high grade
poultry ever SliOWA ny ilOIllc cAllDltOIS
at any county fair. is on display in the
big tent to the left of the main en-
trance gate and to the right Of the
team entrance. Last year there were
more birds on display. but the total
was augmented by an outside exhibitor
who brought a carload Of birds. This
year no exhibitor was permitted to
show unless his residence Is within
the state.
With total of $50 birds, including
chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, and
pigeons, the exhibit is a most credit
able one for any county to show. and
is an evidence that within the confines
Of Marshall county are as fine birds as
can be produced anywhere. For
popular exhibit there is hardly any
thing on the grounds that commands
more attention, for almost every

Sixty Years in Iowa.
Governor and Mrs. Larrabee are
both in fine health, altho the COVER
nor is in his Soth year. The governor
has spent almost sixty of these years
in Iowa and all of them in this part Of
the state The longer I live here, the
better 1 like it," he said recently. II
used to think that it was necessary
to go south in winter and north in
summer but we have omitted such
journeys during the last few years and
I find that we have been just as well
off at homeland little better, per-
haps."
Mr. Larrabee was born near Led
yard Conn. Jan 90 1882. Their home
was on New England farm and. the
boy and young man passed thru all the
hardships of such farming. In 1853.
when he had reached his majority, he
er sister had preceded him to Iowa.
This was Mrs. r. II. Williams, wife Of
Judge Williams, prominent in north
western Iowa as n land owner and rail-
road builder as well as a judge. Mr.
Larrabee taught school one winter and
for three years was foreman on the
Grand Meadow farm of Judge Will
liams, a farm that is still owned by the
',n,
northeast from the Larrabee home
stead.
Becomes a Miller.
In 1857 Mr.. Larrabee acquired an
interest in the Clernont -four mills
and seeing future for that business,
he subsequently became the sole own
er of the mill Those were great days
for wheat and -four in this part Of the
state. The mill was operated by water
power from the Turkey river The
Clermont mill became an Institution in
this part Of the state, the farmers
bringing their wheat for fifty miles
around. There were no railroads here
then and all the flour was hauled over
land to McGregor, where it was shipped
on boats. In the busy season Mr.. Lar
rabee sometimes had fifty teams ply
ing between Clermont and McGregor.
The mill ran night and day.
When the war broke out, altho the
milling business was then at its height
OF prosperity. Mr.. I.arrabee twice Of
fered his services to his country, first
as private and next as lieutenant of
a company that he had collected, or
helped to collect. but he was rejected
both times on account of physical
disability. Compelled to stay at home,
he gave the government a donation Of
-four as his contribution to the war.
Larrabss Takes . Bride.
It was in the fall of the same year.
Sept. ~, 1861, that Mr.. Larrabee and
Miss Anna Appelman We're married.
Miss Appelman was the daughter of
Capt. G.. A. Appelman, a prominent
man and landowner in Fayette coun-
