The Holt County Agricultural, and
Fair aaaociation will hold ita annual
fair in thia city on October 4, 5, 6 and 7.
The officers of the aaaociation will spare
no pains or expense to make this the
best fair ever held in the county, and
they should be encouraged by the farm*
era. A good fair will do more to
advance and bring into prominence the
resources of this county than any other
agency, and the officers of the associa

The hitherto Invincible kid nine met
their Waterloo on the diamond last
Sunday afternoon at the hands of a
picked up nine. They were slated to
play the court-house "gang,” but only a
few of the boys appeared, so the vacan
cies were filled by outsiders. Notwith
standing the fact that the umpire, John
Weekes, was intimidated before the
game commenced by a threat to lock
him up in the cooler all night if the kids
were defeated, he had to decide the
game in favor of the big fellows at the
ratio of 22 to 6.
A lady in Beaver Falla. Ps., heard a
peculiar noise on the back porch of her
residence and went out to investigate,
says the World-Herald. She found that
her son, aged 7. had inserted the tube of
a bicycle pump in the mouth of her 1
year old boy and was filling him full of
wind as fast as he could work the pump
handle. The infant was unconscious,
and its little stomach was inflated like a
tsloon. The mother pulled the tube
from the child’s mouth, and the air fol
lowed with a sharp sound like the
exhaust of an air brake on a railway
train. The baby recovered.
In the case of O. O. Snyder, receiver,
vs. the Quine/ National Bank wherein
Mr. Snyder sought to recover money on
notes sent here for collection by the
Quincy Bank, he compelled the Quincy
Bank to make a complete showing in
open court of all the notes bought of the
Holt County Bank, and while a part of
the notes they held are listed as a part
of the assets of the Holt County Bank
they satisfied the court that they had
bought and paid for every note held bv
them and fully exonerated the Quincy
Bank iu the matter.

Small boys plaving with some match
es started an incipient blaze in a pile of
refuse, in the north part of town, last
Sunday evening, that called out the fire
department—or a small part of it, only
about half a dozen responding to the
call. And right here we want to call
attention to the fact that using the fire
alarm bell as a curfew bell is very bad
practice. The fire alarm was turned in
Sunday evening at about 8:30, and very
few firemen paid any attention to it
thinking it was curfew. On account of
the bell being rung so often they are
getting so used to hearing it that they
pay no attention to it. There should be
some other means provided for sounding
the curfew besides ringing the fire bell.
The fire bell should only be rung when
there is a fire.

The concert given by the Scandina
vian Slaters at the opera-house last
Friday staging wai well attended and
fully* appreciated by all present. The
singing das good, and the songs were
balled with delight as old acquaintances
whom we had met several years ago,
while the eloqutionary work by Mr.
Turner brought tears to our eyes, and
carried ut back to "our happy boyhood
days down on the farm” when we stood
up in a row with our toes to a crack and
read those same pieces out of McGuffy’s
Fourth reader. While It created joy in
our heart' t6 once again meet those old
acquaintances whom we had nearly for
gotten, still the joy was not untlnged
with sorrow as we recalled the flight of
years and thought how soon too our
whiskera would be gray.
The Holt county prohibition conven

the expectaticn wal expressed that we

money waa ralaed to obtain literature,
and arrangements were made for can
vassing the county. Resolutions were
adopted denouncing the saloons, favor

division of the temperance ranks and
asking the help of all patriots and Chris

World-Herald: Prof. A. T. Peters, of
Lincoln, has received a number of let
ters from Antelope and Holt counties in
which the writers state that horses in
their vicinity are afflicted with glanders.
According to these letters several horses
have died during the past few months.
One man, Homer A. Brown, who lived
near Elgin, died with what two phy
sicians pronounced glanders. The let
ters from several points ask Prof,
Peters to assist tbe citizens with his
presence and advice in the matter of
treatment of the disease, which is
afflicting the horses and endangering the
lives of human beings. One writer
states that there is no veterinarian in
Holt county, and consequently no one
who can properly diagnose the cases
among tbe animals. The general run of
people do not seem to be frightened
about the danger of contact with afflict
ed horses, for one of tbe letter writers
tells that his horses have been sick for
nearly a year with some disease which
is accompanied by a running at the
nose, and lately the horses of a cream
carrier in the neighborhood have been
similarly afflicted. Prof. Peters called
upon the governor today and consulted
with him about tbe probable action the
state would take. The last legislature
made no provision for a veterinary com
mission, and there is no means available
for carrying on an investigation. Prof.
Peters, as the agent of the national
government, it is said, may investigate
and report, but his power to go further
than this is doubted.

At a meeting of Eden Rebekah lodge
No. 41, I. O. O. F., held August 10,
1897, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Again an all wise and loving Father,
who has said, “Suffer little chlidien to
come unto me, and forbid them not, for
of such is the kingdom of heaven," has
gathered into his arms another of the
fairest flowers and taken from the fond
parents, brother and sisters and loving
friends, little Lewis Hershiser, thereby
severing a heart string on earth that
only His mercy can heal.
Therefore fully realizing the sorrow
and agony this removal has caused, and
as a slight token of our friendship and
love, be It
Resolved, That we as a lodge express,
and do hereby tender, our beloved sister,
Ada Hershiser, our heartfelt sympathy
in this, her sad hour of bereavement,
and would recommend her to the Father
who has said, “Whom He loveth He
chasteneth,” and who alone can soothe
her aching heart.
“He was dear to us here, they will christen
him yonder;
Our home has one less, but the Father’s one
more;
The rough way of life loses one weary pilgrim,
One more walks In light on the evergreen
, shore.
“There, is gladness for grieving; there, wel
come for weeping.
One more for the gain and one less from the
cross.
One more for the singing, one less for the
sighing,
One more for the crown and one less for the
cross.
“Gone from the woe and the weeping of
mortal, •
Gone to the olty where sorrow ne’er comes.
Gone the dark way through the grave’s
gloomy portals,
Gone—but only gone home.”
