We understand that the pops have engaged him to put It up In town Saturday to draw a crowd to hear Bill Green. The Populist organ of this county ssys that the present populist officers are competent, it looks like it when they have called in a good republican to make out the tax list of the county every year they have been in office, and Polskl had the same republican to help him In the treasurers office.

About two miles north of Hum bolt, in Richardson county, Neb., is an unfailing spring of 4,000 bar rels dai ly flow, coming out of a draw or a little valley op *nit>g into the Nemaha valley.

Wm Blind, of Washington town ship, had as nice a variety of garden produce and of ns good ipialHy ns any man need care to raise, on ex hibition. Webster township find the best township float. den. Zimmerman had a very neat uonatructeil float, it was a two wheeled cart dec /rated nil over with farm and garden produce. There was but three township floats at the fair we would like to have seen more of them, as it would then show that the farmers were taking some interest iu agriculture and were bound to forge ahead even under these depressing times. Oblsen Urcs displayed a One var irty of gasmen prod uce in the floral hall at the county fair this week. Cap. Winkleman showed the peo ple what could be raised lu the way of garden produce under the irriga tion system. C. Ij. Drake displayed some tine beets at the fair. Dr. Jones bud on exhibition at the fair grounds some of bis early variety of potatoes. They were of fine zjuality and merited some com mnn( August Jung had a very neat display of farm products at the fair which showed that he had not been at work for naught last spring and summer. Mrs. R. L. Bissell, of Rockville, had a fine display of patch work at the county fair. It was in the form of two quilt patterns. One was call ed "the puzzle” and the other "the United States,” and contained a piece of goods from each state in the union. She also had some fancy lace work on exhibition. Miss Jennie Sutton bad sorno fancy needle work on exhibition in the fioral hall, Mr. Adolph Kansgan had some very fine farm ami garden products. He took first premium of $8.00 for best collective exhibit of farm pro ducts. The ball game at the fair grounds Tuesday between Arcadia nnd Loup City was too one sided to merit any comment. The Bycicle race was won by Dick O'Bryan. J. S. Pedler’s mare took first money in the races at the fair grounds. The individual float which was gotten up by T. L. Pilger was <|uite a curiosity iu the parade Tuesday, and has been so each day of the fair. It was gotten up as a mana ger ie and consisted of a wagon drawn by a little mule, and upon which was mounted a large cage with several departments. Each department contained a repreaenta-] tion of some ferocious animal or birds of prey. For instance there was au owl which was labeled '‘Aus tralian Jay,” three coons as "Gris zly Bears.'' chickens as "American Fugles," u goat as "South American tloat,” white rabbits as "lee Bears1 and a cat as an "African Lion.'' The wagon was also trimmed with llag» aud buutings, aud over the top of the cages was printed on canvass the sign ' I'ilgoi * Happy Family. ' li was altogether very attractive and made considerable sport and amuse ment lor all. There were only three township llouts but each inude a very credit! hie representation of the county a pro duets. The three townships thus represented were Webster, Clay and Flm. Webster township secured litst prize and t lay secoud. The \V« hstei township tloat was a great success It was gotteu up by l>. I> ! Grow aud A I..

A strange snake story comes from Harvey oountv, Kants*. It is told on the evidence of two reputable oil i/.en* A. L. Bartlcbaugb, a promi nent grain buyer, of Newton, uml .)! VV. Miller, a Dunkard farmer, of Wanton. Mr. Miller has lost eight tine cows as the result of the strange freak of the monster bull snake that ha* fattened from the milk he has Bucked from the udders of Mr. Mil lers herd. For several weeks the farmer lias noticed that his town have come up to the barnyard occa sionally in an excited condition. One of them was invarahly without milk, ami its bag was badly swollen inflamed. The cow in it few hours would die appearently in great agony. Mr. Miller, after losing ni/f ll ( ilntnmnln.wl 4a Iaama <1... came of the trouble. One day he noticed that one of the cows was racing madly about the pasture at a terrible rate and in a state of great excitement, which wan soon felt by all the other cattle in the Held. Approach ing the cow Mi. Miller saw a mon ster bull snake, eight feet in length hanging to the teat, of the animal with a grip that was not to bo shatc en by the frantic efforts of the thor oughly frightened bovine. As the cow plunged on the snake was rap idly absorbing the milk from the udder. When the last drop had been sucked away the snake dropped off, and Mr. Miller killed it. The body of the monster has been pre served in alcohol nnd will be donat ed to the museum of the .State Uni versity at Lawrence. Since he killed the snake Mr. Miller has lost no more cows.—Kx. The following is the way the editor of the Fremont Herald writes about Nebraska: ‘•There never wus a lime so aus picious as the present for the edi tors of the state press to unite, und in the use of their columns make the excellencies of Nebraska known to all of the world. Its beautiful prai ries present a view charming to the eye, us a scene of varied and natur al beauty. Its bounteous crops are evidences of great prosperity. Its growiug and flourishing cities and towns are endowed with new life. Its ranges are covered with the cat tie of ten thousand hills. Its dairy inif intnsnal aha n U. .11 Ail i rur Ut it h -* — - ——n creameries, and butter milk and cheese. Its ‘birds of dawning'1 singcth all night long, to scare a way the flitting goats of famine and adversity. Kverywhere the song of joy and hope is heard, and in the distance sounds the trump of mil lions yet to bo who will make this grand commonwealth one of umperi al splendor, and the fairest in the realm. Stand up for Nebraska! Sound its praises every whcie. It is oue of | the fairest spots ou earth, matchless i iu fertility, graud in resources, the highway of the world, tilled with a people unsurpassed in intelllgenue, i and without a peer iu this great uuiou of free and indepeudeio J states."

We are still handling the world renown ed Washburn Crosby Company flour (which by the way,is ground iu Minneapolis, Minnesota; which has given our customers excellent satis faction every time. Head what Washburn Croahy Company say in regard to It: ‘ There's as much difference In the flour of some mills, us there is between an old windmill and the most modern milling plant in the world. Much are the famous mills of Washburn Croahy Company, in Minneapo lis, Minnesota, IJ. H. A., having a enpasity of In,500 barrels daily. Equipped with Hie very lafest improved machinery for grinding the celebrated, “No. I Hurd” wheatof Minnesota and Dakota, their well known “Superlative” and wold Medal” brands, are recognized as the standard of high grade Hours where ever they are used, “This flour contains a large percentage of the gluten of wheat, and a very small proportion of starch, ami lor this reason bread made from it, does not become dry ami Listless but retains the sweet flavor of the flour, and will keep moised for several days.” •‘See that the firm name, Washburn Crosby Con puny is on every barrel, or sack of flour you buy, to insure your having the genuine urticle.” We also handle the Crete, Neb, flour, which as every one knows, is the best made In Ibis state.
