The Twenty. fifth Annual Fair
Cass countv should do herself
proud this fall at her quarter cen-
teuial exhibition, and from what we
have heard thus early in the season
we helieve Cass county will mve us
such an exhibition of her resources
as will surprise the oldest inhabi
tant. The crops are bounteous, the
stock is healthy, sleek and well fed.
and the list of premiums form an
inducement that producers cannot
afford to ignore. We have just been
lancinjr over the Otoe county pre
mium list and where exhibitors of
hogs, cattle and many other
things of interest are riven a diplo
ma down there the Cass county Ag
ricultural society pays handsome
premiums in cash.
Farmers will consult their own in
terests if they have not seen a pre
mium list by writing to or calling
on David Miller, secretary at his of
fice with Fred Gorder, for a list and
then go to work and get your stock
ready for exhibition. Let us take
more interest in our fair and build
up an exposition to be proud of.
Good Crop.
Mr. Davidson a reliable commerci
al tourist in the employ of the Enip
kie Hardware company of Council
liluffs has been traveling over Ne
braska constantly for the last
twelve years and has resided in this
state for the last thirty-one years
gives us his version of the crop out
look. He says that he traveled with
team over the maior portion of
York, Hamilton, Polk, liutler and
reward counties last weeK and in
all his thirty-one years experience
he never saw as good a small grain
harvest as tlie present one, and
while corn is fully two weeks later
than usual, it is clean, thrifty and
shows a good stand and bids fair
to make a remarkadly heavy crop.
Mr. Davidson says the reprt of
traveling men all over the state is
of the same import. He says crops
are better in western Nebraska than
they are in eastern owing to the'r
bounteous rains and stronirer soil.

Howa King Kei-p Cool.
The King of Siam is said to have
in one of his country palaces a
wonderful pavilkai. It was built
by a Chinese engineer as a refuge
fr the King during the extreme
heat of the summer. The walls,
ceilings, and floors are formed of
pieces of plate g'ass an inch thie
Th.-sear.- s perfectly fitted together
with a transparent cement that the
joints are invisible and no fluid
can penetrate. The pavilion is L'S
feet long aud 17 wide, and stands in
the middle of a huge basin made
of beautiful colored marbles.
When the Kingenters the pavilion
the single door is closed anil ce
mented. Then the sluiC' gates are
opened and the basin is tilled with
water. Higher and higher it raises
until the pavilion is covered and
only the i'ii ti la tors at the top con
nect it wiiii t!i.' open air. When the
heat of I he sun is so great that the
water al most boils on the surface
of tlie' freshest fountains, this
pavilion is del iciously cool. And
that is the way the King of Siam
cools himself oil" m the hot
wether. It sounds very delightlul.

UNCLE SAM'S FISH DISPLAY.
The Worlds Fair wll have the Greatest
Aquarium ever Constructed
The fish exhibit at the World's
Columbian Exposition is to be a
wonderful one, and not the least
interesting portion of it. naturally,
will be the aquarial or live fish
display. This will be contained in
a circular building, 135 feet in diam
eter, standing near one extremity of
the main Fisheries budding, and in
a great curved corridor connecting
the two.
In the center of the circular build-
imrwil'.bea lotunda s-xty feet in
diameter, in the middle of wh'ch
will be a basin or pool about twenty
six feet wide from which will arise
a towering mass of rocks covered
whh moss and lichens. From c efis
and crevices' in the rocks crystal
streams of water will irush and
drop o the massesVd reeds, rushes,
and ornamental semi-aqatic plants
m tlie Oasm oeiow. in tins pool
gorgeous gold fishes golden ides,
golden trench, and other fishes will
disport. From the rotunda one side
of the larger series of aquaria may
be viewed. Thesevrill be ten in
number and will have a capacity of
seven thousand to twenty-seven
thousand gallons of water.

Highway Robbery.
F A. Creamer and Mr. Klein of
Ashland brought i a man to-day
who attempted to hold a hired man
near South Hend last evening.
The robber only got 23 cents but if
he had persisted he might have got
$100 as that amount was held by-
would be victim. He now awaits
trial and boards with Sheriff Tighe.
Passing out of the rotunda
the enirances a great corridor or
gal!e;y is reached where on one
hand can be viewed the opposite
side of the other a iine of tanks and
somewhat smaller, ranging from
750 to 1,500 gallons each in capacity
The corridor or gallery is about
fifteen feet wide. The entire length
of the glass ironts ot tlie aquaria
will be about 575 feet or over 3.CC0
souare feet of surface. They will
l
make a panorama never before seen
in any exhibition, and will rival the
great permanent aquariums Oi the
world not only in'f'side but in all
other respects.
The total watercapacity of the
aquaria, exclusive ot reservoirs,
will be 18,725 cubic feet, or 140.01 )
gallons. This will weigh 1,192,425
pounds, or almost 690 tons. Of this
amount about 40.0C0 gallons will be
devoted to the marine exhibit. In
the entire salt water circulation, in
cluding reservoirs, there will be
about H0.C0O gallons. The pumping
and distributing plant for the mar
ine aquaria will be constructed of
valcanite. The pumps will be in
duplicate and will each have
a capacity of 3,000 gallons per
hour. The supply of sea water will
be secured by evaporating the
necessary quality at the Woods
Hill station of the United Slates
Fish commission to about one-fifth
its bulk, thus reducingboth quanity
and weight for transportation about
80 per cent. The fresh water re
quired to restore it to its proper
density will be supplied from Lake
Michigan. In transporting the
marine fishes to Cfiicago from the
coast there will also be an addition
of probably 3,000 gallons of pure
sea water to the suppply on each
trip.

Climate and Mo rain.
The world is tolerably well mapped
out as to diseases. Tho colored charts
show us where wo may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the adaptability of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions. But our knowl
edge of the relation of man to climate is
still far from scientific -that is to say,
of the influence of climate upon charac
ter and conduct. To come to a detail,
what, for instance, do we know of trie
effect of climate upon veracity. There
are portions of the earth's surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as a luxury
seldom to be indulged in; in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthfulness.
Whether the difference is owing to
race or climate our observations do not
yet enable us to determine. There is a
popular notion that the habit of prevari
cation goes along with warmth, or with
a debilitating atmosphere, and that cold
is a tonic, a sort of stimulant for truth
fulness. We indeed have in the
"the cold truth" a recognition of this.
We say that the northern latitudes nurse
the rugged virtue of veracitv. Charles
Dudley Warner in Harper's.
The Secret of Good mountain CIimbinc.
the secret of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that they trust their feet as much
as their hands. To plant their nailed
6hoe is all they ask in any place. They
go steadily, but slowly, and rest often
bo as to avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless. A tired or winded man
will tumble, slip and be in danger where
he would pats easily when fresh. Th
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing a chaos.
A chaos is a steep sloje covered with
blocks of stone ranging from a hundred
pounds to many tons.
There are ugly holes, big and little,
between them. Their edges are gener
ally sharp. To the rapid passer, as he
looks down at his feet, they appear
without exception, very sharp. In addi
tion, some of them are "wobblers." The
duffer passed several unpleasant quarters
of an hour in following the hunter, ex
cited by the proximity of game, over
these places, and will always carry on
his leg a souvenir of one of them. Paul
van Dyke in Scribner's.
Common Serine Iu Bicycle Hiding.
Regarding pneumatic tires, the editor
of the cycling department in Outin"
says: "There is no doubt about it but
that a better air valve must be devised
made with an airtight cap which can
not be detached. Some such device I
hear has been tried in its experimental
stages, and when completed it will be a
vast improvement on the crude valve
now generally in use. Dealers must
take pains to instruct purchasers of pneu
matic tires how to inflate and to what
tension the heavier the man the harder
the tension. Riders must use brains and
common sense and not be afraid to take
a bit of trouble if they would get the
ucoi, lecuiis out, oi a pneumatic tire."
