COMES FROM GOOD RUNNING STOCK The Herald has a clipping from a Dubuque, Iowa, paper published in 1864 giving a report of an election that had Just been held In that city. The paper states that the entire dem ocratic city ticket was elected by majorities ranging from 127 to 347, and as there ia a rooster at the top of the article we take it that the paper was democratic in politics. The further Information la given that the election passed off quietly but waa one of the warmeat contests ever held in Dubuque, that the soldiers voted the democratic ticket, and the democrats made a splendid showing. The part of the article that will be of the most Interest to Herald read ers is that among the names of the successful candidates were included Mr. Guthrie, who was elected treas urer by a majority of 182, and Iam bert Kniest, who was elected assess or by a majority of 347, the largest majority given to any candidate. J. W. Guthrie of Allanlce is a son of Mr. Guthrie who was elected treas urer of that city, and J. B. Kniest, the democratic candidate for county clerk of Box Butte county this year, is the son of Mr. Kniest who was elected assessor by such an over whelming majority. It will be seen by this that the Box Butte county Kniest comes from good running stock, and the Indications now are that his majority in this county this year will be something like that of his father in the Iowa city forty-seven years ago. 1 SPEED AT STATE FAIR SEPTEMBER 4 TO 8 Late Entries tor Races Close August 14th. The wonderful list of horses Mined, (233i in the early closing races at the State lair. September 4th to Mh, but reflect! the added interest tuKen hjf the breeders and fanciers of :i good horse in these days of "horse less carriages." Nebraska's State Fair is of such rep utation and magnitude that horsemen all over this great west are anxious to race their horses over a track which has the enviable record of pulling off to completion the harness races on the last and only bright day of the 1909 fair. That fairs are the logical places at which to hold successful race meets Is recognized by all thinking people. Palmer L. Clark says: "There is no Institution more American, more redo lent of the American temperament to exchange ideas and receive mutual profit therefrom, than the frequent live stock conventions, more common ly called 'agricultural fairs,' which are held In every community of this coun try during the summer and fall months. The county fair, though of continental origin. Is conducted along lines pecu liarly Amerlcanesque and no other in stitution has done so much to exempli fy and to intensify these self same declarations of fraternity and equality as enunciated In Liberty hall one hun dred and thirty-five years ago. Time changes many things and many cus toms, but the agricultural fair of to day is, n respects Americanism, the same institution of years ago, and it is to be hoped in all sincerity that the spirit of ken, though friendly, com petition, which prevails wherever and whenever an agricultural fair is held, will endure with all time. "At each county fair and at each State Fair. 'His Kingship, the Horse,' is the attraction In the main, but the attraction of all attractions is the har ness racing program, without which no fair, county or state, would have the temerity to open its gates. In fact, the day's entertainment at a fair is not in full swing until the races are cailled; and, from a listless and wan dering crowd of time-killers, the thrill of the trotting and pacing contests permeates the entire grounds until the grandstand of the racecourse is packed to overflowing. Then and then only is It 'fair week.' All other exhibits and attractions are forgotten in the whirl of sulky wheels and the pattering of hoof beats and not until the last con test on the program card is completed is the day at the " When w str.'Jj t .u sitv.rt ch ! :e';y rtiid see the nr.rics of such a.tive, re gressive men as breeders, owoeri net fannec of irut DOrMf II W.
