The C County Fair
M.itiy people inquire f u.-onwhat
date tin' county fair will be held,
but we are unable to inform them
as no notice of it has ever been
went to this office, and we cannot
ti ml a bill or premium list in town.
Klmwood hi' ho.
INK IIkkai.I) in able to state,
authoritatively.that the editor of the
Keho received the name information
pertaining to the fair that wan sent
other papers in thecounty. lie wan
also sent a complimentary ticket
and a special letter of invitation
Several premium lists and postern
were sent to Klmwood and vicinity
a well.
It appears to us that the pre
tended ignorance of the matter on
the part of the Kcho is manifested
for the purpose of injuring the fair,
but we cannot see that this is a
wise course to pursue, as it is held
in the interests of thecounty, and
we expect Klmwood and vicinity to
receive its share of the benefits.
For the benefit of the Kcho
we again state that the officers have
left nothing undone that, in their
judgment, would contribute to a
successful fair. Indications are
that it will surpass all others ever
held in thecounty. The dates are
Sept. 1.5, 10, 17, and 18.

Ci'y School.
The city schools open Monday and
the buildings have been thoroughly
renovated and many much needed
imnriiv.MiiiMits added. This work
i -
has been done under the super
vision of the building committee
mm nosed of William Kallance,
chairman, ami L. P. Hcnnett ami J
I. t'nruh, who have been very dil-
! ligent in this matter and who be-
lieve that anything to e done
; should be done in the best way and
I manner possible. Central building
' has undergone a thorough cleans
! ing; the roof has been repaired and
repainted; room 13 has been divuleU
a id instead of one large room we
now have two as neat rooms as it
would be possible to find any where.
The work of dividing this room was
begun 1 ast Tuesday ami is com
pleted.and the woodwork paintedthe
blackboards have all been reslated
and are in fine condition. Two
large tables, water and other im
provements have been added to
t le laborating, making it one of the
best rooms in the state for that pur
pose, and when we say that it will
be in charge of Prof. McClelland
you can rest assured that our
laboratory will be a success. The
desks have been overhauled and
many new ones added.
The Brush patch on the east end
of the park has all been cut and it
presents a much better appearance,
aid with better care; next year the
grounds will present a good sod of
blue grass and clover. The ward
buildings have all been overhauled
and the school house on the
Missouri Pacific track has been re
arranged; the door placed in
the south end, a tight fence
eight feet high between the track
and the building has been built
and every precaution possible has
been taken for the safety of the
children.
The Mercerville school building
has been thoroughly overhauled
painted, new furniture provided
withit and presents a very credita
ble appearance.
The flag for the high school is
here and its sown as the different
schools are organized it will be
dedicatedwith the proper eclat and
the young America can gaze on the
emblem of one of the grandest na
tions on earth.
The assignment of teachers for
the coming year is as follows:

Farewell Party,
The home of R. F. Dean was hand
somely decorated last Friday night
and was the scene of a very pleasant
party given to allow friends and ac
quaintances an opportunity to say
good bye to Miss Lottie Dean who
was soon to take her departure for
Michigan, where she will visit rela
tives and attend school this hall
and Winter. The invitations were
very general and from the number
present it would seem that all in
vited were there. Refreshments ol
the very finest order were served
from nicely decorated tables and as
the evening was pleasant, guests
were allowed the full freedom of the
grounds; so that with even the large
number present, there was room
for all. It was not until a lale or
rather an early hour, that guests
saiil good-bye, and the general
verdict of those present is thatitvns
one of the most enjoyable social
gatherings of the season. Murray

RECIPROCITY WITH MEXICO.
The Mexican government has ap
pointed a special envoy to negoti
ate a treaty of commercial recipro
city with the United States, and
there is good reason to believe that
such a treaty can be made upon
terms of decided advantage to our
farmers and manufacturers. Ten
years ago a treaty of that kind was
negotiated by Gen. Grant, it will be
remembered, ami the democratic
leaders in congress defeated its en
forcement. The concessions made
at that time were of an estimated
value of many millions per year,
while we were to give in return only
what we could afford. Since then the
trade of Mexico has become much
larger, and the reasons are corres
pondingly more forcible in favor of
an arrangement by which we can
secure an increased share of it.
Last year more than two-thirds of
the exports of the country were to
the United States, while only a little
over one fourth of her imports were
bought from us. In round num
bers, we purchased from her $10,
000,UK) more than we sold to her.
We sold her more than any other
one country, to be sure-$12,tiOO,0X)
as against $8,uX),0tX) sold her more
by Great Britain -but in the aggre
gate other countries supplied her
with three times as much as she
obtained from us. It is our own
fault that this fact exists. Other
nations have prolited at our ex
pense because we have not taken
proper care of our own interests.
In the nature of things we should
have a practical monopoly of the
commerce of Mexico. There are
certain geograpical and political
considerations which tend con
stantly to bring the people of the
two countries into closer relation
ship. A large amount of American
capital is invested in Mexican en
terprises, and the people are favor
able to American trailers. But the
want of a reciprocity treaty pre
vents us from taking full advantage
of the situation. Other nations are
able to secure a majority of the cus
tomers by reason of the draw-backs
which we have imposed upon our
selves. Mexico is not to be blamed
for buying goods where she can get
them on the best terms and under
the most profitable conditions. It
is no part of her duty to give us
trade in preference to others simply
because we happen to be nearer
to her. We must offer proper in
ducements if we want her patron
age. She has a right to ask that
we make reasonable concessions to
her and duplicate the favors ex
tended to her by our rivals. We
are prepared to furnish her with
practically everything that she im
ports, and to take practically every
thing that she exports; but this
counts for nothing unless we make
it to her interest to do all of her
trading with us. She is perfectly
willing to buy more from us if we
will so arrange things that she can
find an advantage in so doing. The
matter is one of business and not
of sentiment. We have it in our
own hands for the most part, and
can make a bargain lhat will yield
us large returns. Mexico has signi
fied her desire to adopt the recipor
city policy, and if we meet her half
way there need not be any trouble
iu effecting a treaty of the most
beneficial and satisfactory char
acter. Globe Democrat.
CROSSED HIS OWN PATH.
We must call the reader's attention
to the fact that Governor Boies
crossed his own path at Cherokee,
when considered with the remain
der of his speech. The main part
of his speech accredited all the
Iowa farmers' woes to the tariff, and
in the above he lays our calamities
to prohibition. We want him to
stand still long enough to be
counted. He says corn-urowincr in
Iowa is not profitable because of
the tariff. If he will tell the readers
of the Capital specifically and with
out dodging, just what foreign mar
ket is closed to American corn be
cause of the tariff, and just why the
tariff makes the price of corn lower,
we will pay him $3 per column for
his production. Just so long as it
is to the political interest of the
democratic party to make it appear
that Iowa is a statt of paupers, just
so long Iowa will suffer in her
material interests. The industrious
people of Iowa should rise up in
their might and put the calamity
party to deth.-Iowa Capital.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF A
LIFE TIME.
Among other reasons why it is
better to invest in South I'ark than
elsewhere in the city, are these:
Property is more saleable if you
wish to sell, more reutable if you
wish to rent; if looking for an in
crease in value, no other part of the
city will compare with it in prospect
The 5th ward composed largely of
South I'ark, less than three years
ago could hardly muster up a vote
at the last general election the vote
was 130 and all were not polled. It
has been less than two years since
the city invited us into the corpor
ate limits, yet we haveoverone hun
dred newly built house ond others
in process of construction, owned,
with few exceptions, by the parties
now living in them.
This part of the city has a store
water mains, electric arc lights,
church and school priveledges and
a new church edifice just erected
of which the whole city is proud.
Plattsniouth's steady growth for
five years past almost doubling its
population; the advance stand it
has taken regarding public im
provements, the certainty of a new
$80,000 court house; the completion
of the great Missouri Pacific rail
way into this city, giving us anoth
er great trunk line and competing
market; the constant increasing
pay roll of the C. B. &. Q. shops, to
gether with many other well known
reasons, assure a steady and perma
nent advance in rtalty, which will
doubtless effect South Park more
favorably than any other portion of
Plattsmoiith.
With a vieiv to the encouragement of
a still greater growth of this part of
the city, we will continue to sell lots on
monthly payments, furnish money
vrilh which to erect houses will ex
change lots for other improved city
property or for desirable improved or
unimproved lands.
It is not so much the speculator
as the permanent resident that we
wish to purchase this disirable
property. Out of over eighty pres
ent owners of South Park
property none are speculators
hence there are no fictilous values
nnd lots are selling at about the
