What Observer Observed on
Ills Journey.
Mn. Editoi: : Your list of visitors
to the State Fair was incomplete.
There was quite a host of Platte Co.
and Columbus men there and also a
few ladies. Nothing, however, as
far as we could learn, of produce,
stock or mechanical contrivances
from Platte county was exhibited,
and your townsman painter Al
brecht bitterly, and perhaps justly,
complained of wrong done him. It
was a pity that no arrangements had
been made to exhibit some of our
Platte county men, since we had
nothing else, for we arc sure some
of them would have obtained prizes.
But since no prize has come here we
are glad to know that at least some
premium stock has been transferred
to Platte county, Mr. A. Henrich
having bought a premium Berkshire
boar and sow, and County Com
missioner Bloedorn also bought a
sow. So Platte county will besides
its own produce, have something to
exhibit at our next county fair, after
its resurrection from the dead.
At Lincoln there was quite a great
amount of choice slock, stallions,
mares, colts, jacks and jennies ; quite
a good number of short-horns, some
Jerseys, Devous, Alderneys, and
Galloways, and some splendid Here
fords ; sheep, hogs, aud poultry in
abundance. Agricultural imple
ments and machinery, steam motors,
threshers and who knows what all.
Wc also noticed a very fine display
of native fruit and other produce.
It was altogether a creditable affair,
and there were indications that our
young state is going ahead of some
older one. The writer was told by
oue man that his stallion brought
him a first prize iu Illinois, but only
a second one iu Lincoln.
Observer and his friends tried to
buy this and that in Lincoln, aud in
Omaha, but finding the prices high
er than at Columbus, they desisted,
and concluded to spend their money
at home, because our Columbus mer
chants deserve to be patronized.

A mysterious fire occurred on the
9th at Mr. John Anson's; they had
bc,eu threshing his flux, which was
stacked at some distance from the
house; the men went to dinner at
noon ; alter an absence of ten min
utes one of them looking northward
said, "some one is having a lively
prairie fire." Mr. Anson, Sr., felt
convinced tint the stacks were on
lire, and went alone to sec if such
was the case. Finding that it was,
he returned for help, and all hasten
ed to the scene, but too late to save
much property, for when they reach
ed it the straw-pile, the unlhreshed
grain and the threshing machine
were a mass of flames ; over 100 bu.
of the seed was stacked iu sacks
ready for removal ; they succeeded
in removing 25 bu., although the
sacks were blazing. Mr. Anson
looses about 150 bu. of flax, his oth
er grain having been put into the
granary sonic days before. He has
the sympathy of the community,
more especially as all his grain was
burned iu stack about a year ago,
while he was away from home. The
origin of the fire is supposed to
have been from over-hot boxes on
the machine, which belonged to
Miller & Cole of Colfax Co., and is
a complete loss. x. x.
