The dairy exhibit at the state
fair, says the Lincoln Journal, was
undoubtedly a feature, constituting as
it did tho first exclusive dairy exhibit
in a dairy building. Superintendent
Bassett, of Gibbon, has added largely
to his reputation as a dairyman and
interested visitors sent specially from
the state of Illinois were particularly
complimentary in speaking of the ex
hibit. Mr. Basset has been superin
tendent of this department for eight
years in succession, besides enjoying a
nigh position in the stale dairyman's
association since its organization.
Never was the prospect for tho far

an Arapahoe dispatch. Load after
load of lumber is daily going into the
country around for houses, barns,

at 52 to 33 cents, while from all side3
come glowing accounts of this year's
crop of corn and wheat, the former be.

especially winter wheat, the actual
yield running from thirty to sixty bush

Dundy, third; Douglas, fourth; Gage,
fifth; Red Willow, sixth; Hitchcock,

BtratofS Accidents Happen la Coitiiabtu,
O., Daring- a Celebration.
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 17. Over 50,
000 people attended the fair yesterday
and last night the city was overrun
and the streets crowded in every direc
tion for squares about the capitol to
witness the display of fireworks which
had been provided by tho citizens.
Several people were more, or less seri
ously injured by falling pieces
of rockets and taken to their homes
before their hahies or extent of their
injuries cottld be learned. Immediate
ly after the close df the fireworks a
great crowd was congregated on High
street near the capitol. In front of
the Neil house a miniature freak
named James Leach of Fairfield
county was giving vocal imitations of
various animals and a crowd wedged
about him. A section of pavement gave
way and over fifty persons werp pre
cipitated in the excavation below, a
distance of about ten feet. It created
a panic, so that the work of removing
the injured was slowly accomplished.
They were sent to their homes and to
the hospitals as fast as rescued. It had
not been discovered at 10 o'clock that
any one had received fatal injuries.
Leach, the freak, wiid attracted tti6
crowds, is probably the w orst injured
of any who were precipitated into the
cellar way. His limbs are broken and
it is tliomrht he cannot recover.
WASHINGTON IX GOOD CONDITION.
No Tc:ir of Cholera During the Grand
Army Encampment.
Washington, Sept. 17. The fact
that Washington will have within its
borders next week more than 100,000
strangers from all parts of the Country
has caused some fear that if thecholerji
gets into Washington from New York
they might carry it away with them.
The Treasury department is seriously
considering the question of imposing
restrictions upon rialroad traffic
into Washington by way oof New
York city should there be any
further cases of cholera reported in
Gotham. The authorities appreciate
the danger that if by any lack of
caution on their part a case of cholera
should be introduced here during the
encampment it might perhaps be
widely distributed from this city to
other parts of the United States. There
were several rumors flying about the
city to the effect that two cases of
cholera had been discovered in the
city. At the health office Dr. Ham
mond said he had received no reports
of such cases and he hardly believed
they were correct-

Cuickamauoa, Tenn., Sept. 17. The
reunion of the Army of the Cumber

o'clock. Gen. Rosccrans presided at
the first meeting of the society. Only
a small number of veterans of the

the battlefield. The meeting was quiet,
the work being almost wholly routine
Reports from the work on the National
park were presented and approved.
Out on the battlefields the veter
ans looked up the locations of
their various commands, all sorts of
wagons and hacks being employed to
convey the throng to the national park
and grounds. In point of numbers the
reunion has not been a success, but the
affair seems to be thoroughly enjoyed
b' all who are here.

the 52.5S4 irrigated farms, 9.6G percent
of the total area of the whole number
of farms enumerated and about one
half of 1 per cent of the total land
area of the arid region.

REPUBLICAN GAINS IN
CITIES,
lilts the
Tho New
York Sun (tleiu.)
Nail Squarely.
"No careful observer can have failed
to notice one distinguishing feature in
all the elections held this spring in
various parts of the country, both East
and West. That is that the Republi
cans appear to have made decided gains
in all the large cities. This was seen
in Chicago, in Providence, in Milwau
kee, in the Michigan town elections,
and in those nearer home in New York,
particularly in Rochester, Sj'racnse,
Lockport, Utica, Albany and Oswegc.
Again it has just been seen in Jersey
City.
"Yet it is upon the cities of the coun
try that the Democrac3' absolutelj de
pends for success in all the doubtful
States of the North this year. Unless
the cities do their full duty, the triumph
of the Democratic candidate nom
inated in Chicago otherwise assured,
will be imperilled.
"Why should the Republicans in the
spring elections of 1892 gain generally
in the industrial cities of the country,
unless it is that in, the discussion of the
national questions incident to this
yeai'"s battle the revolutionary plans of
the free trade extremists have diverted
from the party's support a great body
of voters whose- Democracy is un
doubted?" .
Is This a Tin IUate Lie?
Congressman Scott of Illinois made
a speech in the House of Representa
tives on the free wool bill on March
15, in which we find the following
statement:
"During the year ending June 30.
1891, there was imported over 1.000,000
pounds of tin plate. This would have
est the consumers under the old law
$ 0,000,000. Under the McKin'ev xw
It cost $22,000,000, being a direct tax
upon the consumers of tin of 512,000,
OOOotcrarttl above what they would
have paid under" the former law."
We print this as an cxain'ple' of the
many reckless assertions which are
made daily by the would-be ''reform
ers" of the present Congress. In 1S91
we imported 1,057,711,501 pounds of tin
plate. the value of import price of which
was 836,355,579.79; on this duties were
paid to the amount of 10,577,115.01
making the price of the tin plate, duty
paid, about S47,000000. So Mr. Scott
is just about 81,056,000,000 pounds out
of the way as to the quantity of tin plate
imported and $37,000,000 as to the price
paid fbr it. But the crowning absurd
ity of all is the statement that because
of the McKinlcy law we paid 812,000,
000 more for this tlri platd than we
would have paid under (be old law.
Mr. Scott, it will have been observed;
speaks of the year ending June 30, 1891,
now, the tin-plate clause of the McKin-
ley bill only went into effect on July
1, 1891.
Can it be that this is a tin-plate lie?
American Economist.
The Sngar Tax and the Sugar Donnty.
One of the most impudent things we
have seen for n long time is the follow
ing editorial reflection from the St.
Louis Republic:
"This Republican shuffle iri raw sugar
was really an increase in taxation of
some S10,000,000 a year, or b3 the'
amount of the bounty paid annually."
The dutj- on sugar was a revenue
duty, a duty of the regular free-trade
type and was therefor a tax on the
consumer, being entirely paid by him.
This tax amounted in the year before
its abolition to almost 854,000,000. Let
it not be forgotten that when
the Republicans, in accord
ance with the broatl prin
ciple' of logical protection that no
duty sh'ould he levied on an article
which' we are rtot able or sure of being
able to produce in adequate quantity to
suppli' the home demand voted to re
peal the duty on sugar, the Democratic
free-traders united to a1 man m oppos
ing this provisidn.- As far the bounty,
the object of which was to stimulate
experiment, that amounted last vear to
little more than 87,KH),0()0. Thus the
balance on th'e right side of the ledger
i. c; iri the consumer's pockets
comes tW 87,000,)00, all of which was
saved to hint by the McKinlcy tariff.

Tarsncy's Jaw.
Tarsney of Missouri, don't see why a
man who can talk so beautifully and
intensely about the wrongs of the
workingman should not be chosen to
investigate the Homestead trouble and
to whoop it up for the Democratic
ticket. The rumor of Tarsney's resig
nation is unfounded, as his jaw cannot,
at this crisis, be deprived of its oppor
tunity. National Rullctin.
With No Good Result.
The present Congress has appro
priated just as much money as the
"billion dollar"' Congress did. The
only difference is that they have worked
with no regard to the needs of the pub
lic business, but simply with a regard
to make a record of economy before the
people. The result is that the public
business is crippled with injudicious
cuts where money is really needed, and
still the record is one of more money
spent than in the previous Congress.
Adlal's l'lare In History.
The Minneapolis Tribune says: "The
only Adlai we read about in Scripture
was put to death, while his father was
hanged."
The Democrats have nominated a
hanging ticket. It will be remem
bered that Grover Cleveland hanged
two men with his own hands rather
than pay some poor deputy 510 to do'
the job for him. Inter-Ojean.
Free Lumber Rill.
Objection is made by Democrats to
the passage through the House of the
free lumber bill "until after election,"
as it might endanger North Carolina
to the party. The effect "of passing
the free iron-ore bill is also dreaded in
Alabama and Tennessee. No one ad
vocates delay any longer than after
election.
A Tariff I'lcture.
The prices of American gloves have
not risen under the McKinlcy law, but
the wages of the glovemakers have
risen. For example, glove cutters who
got $2 per day
in 1890 now get
82.25 per day.
Has Surrendered.
The South Carolina Democracy has
surrendered bodily to the Farmers Al
liance and the two have blended, the
Farmers Alliance platform being
adopted in toto. Uut the great central
creed of both, which is not in the plat
form, continues the true bond of union;
"Down with the dam nigger.''

The Socialists are talking of nomi
nating candidates for President and
Vice-President. That is meir privi

is just a lovely candidate, and Henry is
a good enough Socialist for any of
them.
Speaking of the effect of the Mc
Kinlcy tariff on Canadian agriculture,
a Canadian contemporary says: "In
Ontario the horse and barley trade
have been all but destroyed," which
simply means that American farmers
and horse raisers are now supplying
portions of our markets formerly sup
plied by Canadian farmers.
It Killed George.
After the Democrats had circulated

A Hold Rohberr
From Albany, N. Y., comes the story
that in July,1888, the bunco artist,
John Price, now serving a nineteen
year sentence at Danuemora, slipped
up behind P. K. Dedrick just as he left
his carriage on the front of the Farm
ers and Mechanics' bank and extracted
from the seat a package containing
35.000 in negotiable bonds. A few
days ago the bonds were received by
ex-District Attorney Hugh Reilly. The
package was intact, and the accumu
lated interest makes them worth about
843,000. There is no clew from where
they came except that they were sent
from New York city. The mystery lies
in the fact that they were returned at
all, as they are negotiable.

A Singular Fatal Accident.

while on a steamboat excursion to
Miscatine, broke the back of the chair
in which he was sitting, fell overboard

Miscellaneous Items.
In order to prevent persons under
standing telegraphy from reading the
messages in oflices and hotels, as they
are received by the sounder, a secret
telegraph receiver has been devised,
fitted with a resonator of aluminum of

The latest form of steamship pro
peller is an English invention, and is
designed so that, when in motion,
there is no weight of water on the
blades on the rise and fall of the pro

A part of each blade of the screw is
thrown back with a slope, so that the
water is allowed to. pass freely away at
the center, instead of being carried
around with the wheel.
