OPENING OF THE FA1IJ. The llest Stock, Floral antl Horticultural Display Kver Made In Cass County. Secretary Keefcr and President Windham are busy as bees today get ting everyting in readiness for the crowds of people that are expected to throng the fair grounds tomorrow. A he race track is as smooth as a billiard table and The News speaks by the card when it says the fastest horses ever seen at a county fair in this state are already on the ground and will make Thursday and' Friday great days. The city schools will close every afternoon during the fair in order that teachers and pupils may attend.

On Thursday and Friday afternoSns Professor Sexton, the world-famed aeronaut will mount to the clouds in hia monster airship which has made hundreds of trips to cloud land. From the entries already made something extra good in bicycle rid ing may be expected. Price of admission to the fair on Wednesday has been reduced to 15 cents, bo that everybody can hear the great, silver debate between Governor Crounse and lion. David Overmeier of Kansas. This will bo an event that should bring 3,000 people to the grounds. The baloon ascension on Wednesday, when two trained dogs will be sent Beveral thousand feet high, and at the crack of a pistol they leap from the balloon and comedown in a parachute, is the most thrilling act ever wit nessed on a fair ground, and will posi tively take place as advertised. Judge Spurlock Ties Two Knots. Two Iowa couples were mar ried by Judge Spurlock this afternoon at the cosy parlors of Mr. and Mrs. Pearl man. The judge kept his equilibrium and could have tied up several more without regret or loss of sleep. Judge Spurlock has such a nonchalant way of speaking the fateful words that most folks are delighted and some even want to get married over again. His fame has spread over a large part of Iowa and half way through Mis souri, the result of which is lively times at the court house when they come in droves just to get Mr. Spur lock to tie the knot. Van Vretlenburgh'8 Famous Fainting.

TIIK NEWS LEAFLET NO. IS. (Cut this out and put it in your pocket for reference.) One of the most frequently repeated assertions of the friends of silver is that the lack of silver money has caused the fall in the price of wheat and other farm products, and that the addition of more money to our cur rency would bring tho price of wheat up to $1 per bushel or more. They in dignantly deny that this would bo be cause of the depreciation of silver as a standard of value, but say that the mere addition of more money to the circulating medium of the country would cause prices to advance. Hero is a table which shows the amount of silver money in the country in each year since 1S71, and tho aver age price of wheat in each j'ear. It will be seen that the amount of silver money in the United States in 1SJ)5 was twelve times as much as in 1871, and that the price of wheat when we had tho most silver money was just two-thirds what it was when the silver was one-twelfth of the amount which it is today. Does this look as though "more silver money in tho country" would rrake the prices higher V silver Currency Av. l'rice in the U.

Senator Peffer says in his report to the senate on tho low prices of farm products that wheat in India, whore wages of farui hands run from G to 10 cants per day, is produced at a cost of about 13 cents per bushel, Adding the cost of transportation to this, it is possible to put wheat of India into the markets of London at a total cost of 50 cents per bushel, which is much less thau tho cost of produc ing it on the average farm in the United States. In other parts of the world, where labor, land and trans portation are also cheap, the produc tion has also enormously increased, thus filling with their low price the markets of the world which formerly drew their supplies from the United States. Sent It to Hi Mother In Germany. Mr. Jacob Esbensen, who is in the employ of the Chicasro Lumber Co., at Des Moines, Iowa, says: 'I have just sent some medicine back to my mother in the old country, that I know from personal use to be the best medicine in the world for rheumatism, having used it in my family for several 3Tears.

The Now York Sun tells this story illustrating Candidate Bryan's pro pensity for playing to the galleries: "I was in Washington," said a man in the Fifth avenue hotel recently, "when the boy orator of the Platte was a member of congress. You know that to attract attention a speaker must bo interrupted in the course of his speech. The oftener he is interrupted the better the speech. It's a trick of some congressmen to arrange for in terruptions ahead ol time. Bryan was one of those congressmen. He came to me one day and said: 'Look-a-here, now; I'm going to speak tomor row and I've got one interruption. I want to get one more. Now, when I say so and so, I want somebody to ask me this,' and ho handed me the ques tion. 'They'll think, vou know thr. it s a stumper, but I've got tho answer for it. I'm ready for them.' Well, of course, I got a man to iuterrupt him with the question. I just tell you this now to show that oven in those days the boy orator was playing to tho gal leries, and he hasn't got over it yet."

It is not more than once or twice in a life-time when a community so situ ated as the one in which we live is placed upon a level with the greatest centers of the world, such as London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Madrid, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago, in respect to one of the really most important features of life. Re ference is made in this instance to amusements. The greatness of civi lized development can be measured by the diversions of the people. In the cities named above it is unanimously agreed that the greatest of all the world's amusement exhibitions is Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Hough Qiders of the World. This was the sensation of all Europe for five years. It was tho one distinctive feature at the World's Fair at Chica go in 1SD3. It was tho ono great at traction in New York in IS'JI. Last year it was exhibited in on over 100 of the principal cities of tho East. This year it will tour the Western States and will exhibit at Omaha October 10 and Lincoln on WednesdajOclober 14. The management states positively and without any reservation that it will be tho samo exhibition, man for man and horse for horso, that has made it the most marvellous exhibi tion of any kind in all history. Ex cursion trains will be run from hero on all lines of travel and especially low rates will bo made for the round trip. This is one exhibition that can be conscientiously endorsed, and its announcements may be relied upon implicitly. It is well worth a day's journey to see. It would require a column to enumerate its details and its fame is so great that it is unneces sary to do so, even wore tho space available. A packed houso greeted Bill Nyo and Wm. Hawley Smith last night. There was not a vacant seat in tho opera house. Mr. Smith is not iceable in not using any of the arts of the professional elocutionist.

He appealed strongly to his audience, and was recalled after every number. Rochester, (N. Y. ) News. At the Presbyterian church in this cit Octo ber 19. Comfort to California.
