The Coming Fair.
The 22nil annual fair of the Cass County
Agricultural society will be held on the
new grounds, 1 J miles south of the city.
The grounds are splendidly located at the
junction of Chicago and Lincoln avenues
and comprise 33 acres; a new half mile
track has been laid out and is in fair
condition for racing; speed stalls large
and roomy have been erected close to the
trac k and to all persons desiring to drive
or train horses, the grounds are open at
all times Stalls have also been built for
the benefit of stock and cattle, also pens
for hogs.
There is good water on the grounds.
The buildings erected are the amphithea
ter, with a fine quarter stretch in front,
good booths underneath; the judges
stand, and the agricultural hall. The
building of a new floral and art hall is
now in the hands of our citizens, and is
being forwarded by R. li. Windhum,
Esq., and our citizens ought to push the
matter of the new building as it would
add much to the beauty of the grounds
and redound to the benefit of Platts
mouth. There is no doubt but what the
fair will be one of the best ever held in
Cass county as the following list of the
speed department will show:

The wife of a certain .striking engi
neer in this city who befriends a little
pug, which is often seen on the street
with a chain attached to it and neatly
dressed by a blanket which is strapped
around it in some way, is often heard
talking to the little cur in a way that
would lead an unobserving person to be- plying an extensive demand from differ

"Laddie" and whenever he acts contrary ghow through the building. This fac

you," or. "Laddie, dear, you must be a
nice little fellow today, or I will not take

wonder in the world that "Laddie dear"
don't die with concussion of the brain
from such remarks. The lady we have
reference to and her "Lady dear" passed
this office the other evening when her
"Laddie dear" dropped in and called on

An Ode to the Painter
There's a man, a painter by profession.
Who to his employe made this confes
sion.
I am an artist of no small degree,
And by my works, I will prove to thee
That what I have said about my art,
Is the truth, and no bragging on my part.
There are two nines, who have engaged
to play,
A match game of ball, on next Saturday.
And you and I together will go
And I will sketch them and make a great
show
Of the carpenters, who with out a doubt
Will by the supply department be put to j
rout
I a great oicture will mtike

day. Already this season over 30,000
cans of peas and beans have been taken
care of and within the last two days corn
has been received at the factory. Mr.
Streight reports that the corn and beans
already brought in this season are 25 per
cent, better than was received last year.
The company has raised the price on the
same beans which were sold last year for
72 i cents to 80 cents, and they are still
receiving orders daily for as much as

they can fill, although other companies
have cut prices considerable. In about
two weeks tomatoes will come in and
that with the amount of corn which gen-
j erally comes in at the same time will give
them more work than they are able to
handle although the factory is large and
facilities for doiug work, first-class.
This factory is capable of turning out
about 25 tons of corn per day without
running nights. The corn, which affords
canning factories in this part of the
country the most work, and which No
,,aska 5s proud to boast of, is unloaded
into what is called a husking shed where
I about thirty-five women and girls are
Pmn1nvod dnilv in huskillL'.
From there

.
it is throwu into an elevator which car-
! ries it to the top of the building where
j two cutting machines are located. When
i both machines are in operation they will
I rut from 75 to 100 bushels ner hour. The
cutters are fed by a couple of boys, and
when the corn goes through these cutters,
it is cleaned from thc cobs and drops
into a receiver and the cobs are carried
through. The corn is then carried by a
conveyor to what is called a silker where
it is cleaned and after cleaning is sent
through a canfiller which will fill about
1300 cans per hour. "When the cans are
filled they are set iu trays and put in an
exhaust box which is filled with hot
water. When the air is taken from the
cans there they are taken to the cappi r's
bench where the tops are soddered on.
Pliey are then rea-ly for cooking.
They are cooked by steam.
The cans are put into what is called a re
tort, where they are cooked in a short
time, by the steam which is forced in up
on them with great p:e-ssure. When they
are taken out they are then ready for the
market. The buskers receive 2 cents per
bushel foi. their work, and they haye
some empyed who can husk about CO
bushels per day.
The curbing stone which is to te
used here for paving purposes is not
looked upon nor spoken of by experienc
ed men as the most durable for its pur
nose. We think if it was run through a
stone crusher it could be utilized for mor
tar and used to better advantage.
The carpenters and tinners of the
B. M. shops will play a game next Satur
day on the Fitz Forty ball ground.
The purity of our many pereodicals
consists principally of the pure water
8urinkled upon them before going to
press. Deck.

From Friday's Daily.
A party of this city which has been
organized for several years past and
known as the "Illustrious five,", which
meets to celebrate the birthday of each
member, will again assemble this evening
at the residence of Dr. R. R. Livingston,
sr., today being his 01st birthday. He
boasts that he feels as well today us he
ever did in his life aDd we have good
reason to believe that he enjoys thc- best
of health at this advanced age, as he has
every appearance of a well developed
constitution, and we truly believe he en
joys it as much as anybody. The follow
ing gentleman compose the club and we
feel confident that their meeting will be an
enjoyable event. They say they have
live birthdays in a year: Dr. R. R. Liv
ingston, Messrs. George S. Smith, J. I?.
Strode, A. W. McLaughlin and F. K.
White. We have not yet learned the
programme for the eyening, but if the
reporter can succeed in attaining the good
will of any of the above gentlemen and
learn the particulars before tomorrow s
publication, it will afford us great plea
sure to have them appear. They make a
humorous crowd and we bespeak for them
success in their efforts to haye a good
time this evening.
Little Phil is dead ! A heroic soul
has passed away to join the great, grand
army of veterans on the other side, be
yond t'iat mysterious boundary line where ;
we are sure there is a glorious life for
such heroes as Little Phil. He has passed
along the line to the front, and the old
soldiers of "88 will see him no more un
til they, too, join "the ranks of the dead."
Patrick Ford has an article in the
North American Review on "How will
the Irish vote." Every Irishman in
America ought to read it. It is temper
ate, conservative, and shows beyond a
shadow of donbt how the democratic
party has handled the Irisman to further
the Coixlen club interest without allow
ing the Irishman to think or reason why
he should vote with his Englis'i land
lord. The way the republicans of Connecti
cut and New Jirsey are "carryi ig the war
into Egypt" is a caution. The enthusiasm
for Harrison and Morton exceeds that of
any presidential campaign since that of
1840.

Living cliarafterizes these modern days.
The result is a fearful increase of lirain
and Heart Diseases (leneral De
bility, Insomnia, I'aralysis, and In
sanity. Cliloiiil and Morphia augment
the evil. Tiio medicine best adapted
to do permanent good is Ayer's Sar
saparilla. It purities, enriches, and
vitalizes the blood, and thus strengthens
every function and faculty of the body.
" I have used Ayer'rf Sarsaparilla, in
my family, for years. I have found it
invaluable as
A Cure
for Nervous Debility caused by an In
active liver and a low state of the blood."
Henry Uacon, Xcnia, Ohio.
"For some time I have been troubled
with heart disease. I never found any
thing to help me until I began usinj;
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I have only used
this medicine six months, but it has re
lieved me from my trouble, and enabled
me to resume work." J. P. Carzanett,
Perry, III.
"I have been a practicing physician
for over half a century, and during that
time I have never found no powerful

When the editor of the Journal as
sures Mr. McVey and Mr. Peter Mumm
that the republican party is a "free whis
ky" party we imagine we can sec those
worthy gentlemen growing exceedingly
indignant that such an organization as a
free whisky party" should be allowed
to dog the footsteps of the poor old tem
perance concern ( '.) to which the editor
of the Journal belongs. Consistency is a
jewell even if it be occassionally found
in a hog's snout.
If our democratic common enemy in
tend convincing the workingman of
America that a change of our industrial
system is to his interest, it is time that
party was about it. With almost double
the wages under protection that they
have under free trade in England; with
a better condition in every other respect,
socially and physically, it must necessari
ally call for a pretty clear argument to
convince labor in America that the pro
posed change will better its condition.
We rather gues3 from the way the work
ing man is talking that he does not. pro
pose to trast any such change.
