Waters moved that a judicial district committee be organized at 8 o'clock, P. to consist of five mem bers, and that each county be authorized to appoint one member of such committee, and that for this term Crawford county bs authorized to ap point the additional member and that upon each succeeding term the right to appoint the fifth member of the committee shall be accorded to the successive counties, as named on the roll. Upon motion, the convention ad journed to meet at 8 o'clock. Upon re-assembling the respective counties named the members of the district committoc, as follows Craw ford, C. G.

Hawley and A. J. Vickers; Cherokee, T. P. Anderson; Labette, J.

Waters; Montgomery, J. D. Hinkle. The convention then proceeded to ballot, and the vote stood as follows John T. Yoss, 12 votes; John N.

Bitter, 16 votes; W. B. Glasse, 18 votes; Geo. B. Chandler, 12 votes.

For the next succeeding twelve votes the ballot stood the same. On the 13th ballot, Labette county cast 17 votes for Glasse and one vote for John T. Voss. Three votes were cast the same. On the 16th ballot Labette county cast 16 votes for W.

B. Glasse, one for John T. Yoss and one for John N. Bitter. The 17th and 18th ballots were the On the 19th ballot Labette county cast 15 votes for Glasse, 2 for Voss, and 1 for Ritter.

The next three ballots stood the same. On the 23rd ballot Labette cast 14 votes for Glasse, 2 for Yoss, and 2 for Ritter. The vote stood the same until the 53d ballot, when Labette cast 2 votes for Glasse. 6 votes for Voss, 6 votes for Ritter, and 4 votes for Chandler. The vote stood the samo until the 64th ballot, when Labette cast 2 votes for Glasse6 votes for Voss, 7 votes for Ritter, and 3 votes for Chandler.

The next vote was the same. On the 65th ballot Labette cast votes for Glasse, 6 votes for Voss, votes for Ritter, and 2 votes for Chan dler. The votes stood the same until the 70th ballot, when the same vote cast as upon the 1st ballot. rom tins time on no changes were made until twelve o'clock. At this time the 201st ballot was taken, and the convention adjourned until 8:30, A.

on Wednesday. During all this time motions were carried for recesses of 10 to 15 min utes for consultation, and occasionally the programme was varied by hu morous remarks and songs, The convention was called to order at 8:30 on Wednesday morning, and the 202nd ballot found each county standing by its own candidate. So the vote stood until the 220th ballot, when, upon motion of Col-Hawley, the order of calling the roll was changed so as to call the counties in the order named in the call for the convention, viz: Labette, Cherokee, Crawford, Montgomery. No particular change followed tliis action. After the 230th ballot a determined effort was made to adjourn sine die, upon motion of D.

Kelso, but was defeated. Three more ballots were token without change. Then it was moved by A. P. Riddle that the order of balloting be changed so that the vote be taken by secret ballot, each delegate as his name was called to come forward and deposit his ballot.

This was adopted. On the 234th ballot the vote stood, Voss, 12; Ritter, 15; Glasse, 19; Chandler, 12, which made it appear that one vote from Cherokee was straggling. This vote straggled somewhat until the 241st vote, which stood as when first ballot was had. J. H.

Crichton, of Labette, then moved to adjourn sine die. This was lost. T. P. Anderson, of Cherokee, then moved to adjourn subject to call of the judicial committee, which was voted down.

Upon motion of S. O. McDowell, the convention adjourned until 1 o'clock. After dinner four ballots were taken with a result varying not more than one vote from the previous ones. After the 245th ballot had been taken John N.

Ritter came before the con vention, and.after thanking his Mends for standing by him, and saying that he thought it best for the sake of har mony, withdrew his name from before the convention. The 246th ballot was then taken and stood: Voss, 15; Glasse, 20; Chandler, 23. The 247th ballot stood; Voss, 15; Glasse, 19; Chandler, 24. The 248th ballet stood: Voss, 15; Voss, 13; Glasse, 21; Chandler, 22. The 249th ballot stood: Glasse, 20; Chandler, 25.

The 250th ballot stood: Voss, 14; Ritter, Glasse, 21; Chandler, 22. R. H. Stott, of Cherokee, then again placed in nomination John N. Bitter, when the 251st ballot was taken, which stood: Voss, 13; Ritter, 23; Glasse, 10; Chandler, 12.

The next four ballots stood as fol lows: 253rd. 254th. 255th. 15 20 19 14 13 10 10 18 14 11 Tom Ritter 13 21 11 13 Glasse .1. W.

Most of the schools are now in ses sion, and it is a proper time to organize student bands, or associations of some kind, for mutual improve ment during the winter. Teachers, by the nature of their calling, are separated nine-tenths of the time, and those ambitions spirits who wish to excel and make a complete success naturally desire to meet and discuss school subjects, or study together some of the knotty points belonging to their calling. The Normal Institute comes but once a year, and the course of study is prescribed by the higher powers, While many of the little perplexing questions that trouble teachers are wholly untouched. There seems to be the best reason in the world why teachers should unite their efforts to improve each other, and thus sooner reach that desired state of successful experience so diligently sought this season, especially by school teachers. There are teachers in every county Who never look for schools, since their services are eagerly sought by the more enterprising districts, for the very good reason that they do work worth something.

Now, why should not all teachers try to keep up with the advanced thought of the best communities, and at the same time, imrtmvA their nv, nf RrlACAflS in the future, as well as the present. Success in any calling must be earned, and it comes only to those who are willing to put forth efforts to secure it. There are a few old fossils who will discourage any movement of the kind on the ground that they have no time. The same persons never had time to make a success great enough to secure a second school in any given locality. Dy Miss May JUaFontaine, wno has already taken steps towards the establishment of such a society of teachers in district 45.

Walker, who has been sick, has so far recovered as to ride to Girard on Monday last. He would like a school, beginning about Nov. 1st. The Limestone district, No. 60, has voted $850 in bonds with which they expect to build a school, house this fall, equal to the best in the county.

The mania for building school houses still continues. The old joint district at Jacksonville has the fever now, and will build a snug little house this fall. The Myers district, No. 43, last year fitted up their school in good style, and still the good work goes on in the line of improvements, as the new coal house and other fixtures show. That new bell at Monmouth is a great improvement over old methods.

The neat little tower on the school house adds to the appearance Mr. Peffley has made a fine start, with about 80 enrolled in both rooms. Certificates granted Saturday, Sep tember 80th: FIB3T 6BADB. J. D.

and exhibit rare good tasto, both in the selection of their goods and in the arrangement of them for exhibition. Geo. D. Eincaid, so long known as one of Girard's cleverest and most enterprising merchants, kept up his well-established reputation by a show- filled with rare and beautiful goods in his line. This handsome lot of goods was but a slice out of his large and elegant store on the south side of the square.

The ladies lingered before Mr. Eincaid's showcase with longing and incquiring eyes. C. 3. Eeyes one of the la test firms added to the array of merchants in Girard, did credit to this town by an exhibition of commendable enterprise.

Their show-case was filled with handsome dress goods, silks, satins, beautiful underwear articles, tc This exhibit was a delight to the visitor, and attracted much attention. J. H. Proctor placed some very handsome specimens of his skill as a photographer on exhibition, ranging from card photographs to life size portraits. These samples would do honor to any photographer.

The department of fine arts was occupied mostly by this exhibit of Mr. Proctor and by some water color and oil paintings and crayon drawings shown by Mrs. Cornelia Com ings and Miss Mattie Comings. Of the merit of this work we cannot speak in becoming terms. They are of a character far beyond that usually produced by home artists.

Among contestants of acknowledged ability and reputation, and in a larger field. these ladies could win victories that would bring them renown and profit for their pencils and brashes. In the department of textile fa brics and fancy work, the display was by no means meagre, although the ball where they were shown is not adapted for the purpose. There were here 153 entries in all, the large number of which make it impossible to properly mention them. The lower part of the main hall was devoted to the display of grains and seeds and vegetables.

While the quality of the articles shown was very good the number of entries was by no means what was expected in year like this, when nearly every pro ducer of wheat in the county could tell you that his wheat graded No. and that he had plenty of it The premium for beet Wheat was given this year, as for the two past years, to the Fultz variety. Among the corn shown the bushel of yellow brought by G. Murdock unquestion ably attracted the most attention, but the mixed corn of Jacob Carl and the white corn of W. E.

Puckett were also good. There were several fine speci mens of corn in the stalk, among them that of J. F. Gates, of Mon mouth, which was so tall that it took a long man to reach to the ears. Geo.

B. Hossack also showed a variety which it believed to be of great merit as a fodder corn. It is called "The Stockman's Pride," and has leaves in abundance from the ground to the top. Each stalk, too, had from two four ears of corn. Among the many specimens of oats shown was one specimen 6 feet 4 inches in we forget who this was shown by There were thirteen samples of millet, some of it remarkable for the well-filled heads of seed, for the great length of the straw, and some for the fine texture, which made it more suit able for fodder.

Among these -specimens were two that were 7 feet 4 inches in height The display of vegetables, though not as large as it has been some years, was excellent Among these were both late and early Irish potatoes that are rarely beaten anywhere. The premiums here were deservedly taken by R. T. Eirkpat-rick and W. E.

Puckett This was a good year for cabbage, pumpkins, squashes and watermelons, if one may take the evidence of the specimens shown at the fair. In the class of horses there was an exhibition that the oounty need not be ashamed of. The trouble however, that the stalls intended for the exhibition of horses are really not fitted for the -The conse quence was that many of the finer animals were quartered in the more commodious and comfortable quarters of the speed ring stables, and many of them were on the ground but for a very short time during Thursday and Friday, while they were being exhibited. Of the relative merit of animals shown we will say little. Per haps we are not qualified to judge.

and are rather chary of making mistakes in this direction. Observation has shown us that there are not many things about which men are so sensitive as they are of the merits of their horses. We will say, however, that there were animals of the best character in each of the divisions all- work, roadsters, heavy draught, and horses for the saddle and light har ness, farm teams, We trust that by next year enough stock will be sold to enable the directors to erect more commodious and comfortable stalls for this department Of cattle we can say but little. J. M.

Taylor and S. W. Emery had on hand some fine fall-blooded Darhams, for which they submitted authentic pedigrees. There were also some fine Jersey cattle the property of S. Billman and J.

W. Ballard. We are glad to notice that the dairy interests of the county are looking up, as is shown by the exhibition of these fine dairy cattle. The meekl-ooking little animals attracted considerable attention. In the swine department the fair came nearly suffering a complete defeat David Neher was the only ex hibitor.

He had excellent Poland China hogs, and might well have THUKSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 18S2. S. A. WASSER. A.

Tenth Annual Fair of the Crawford Ooantr Acriealtunl Society. When the old agricultttral society failed it was for a time doubtful whether a new society could be or ganized in time to prepare for a fair this year. The first steps were taken. but there the matter hong for week after week, and month after month. Officers were elected, it is true, but as the arrangements of the financial details could not be completed every thing else was compelled to wait However, though the energetic ac tion of Mr.

F.nnia and others.arrange-ments were made whereby it became safe to advertise the fair and work it up. This delay, which seemed to be unavoidable, caused it to be in the field so late that the fair was deficient in some respects, notably in ths matter of cattle, sheep and hogs. In other respects, the fair was fully up to the standard of former years, and in some respects it excelled anything heretofore attained. The erection of the new horticultu ral commodious structure north of the main hall, added to the accom modations very materially. Had it not been for this the space would have been utterly inadequate to the demands made upon it.

As it was, everything entered in the depart ments of fruits, and everything of the nature of canned jellies, pickles, and baking and cook ing of all kinds, was placed in the new building, which was crowded to its utmost capacity, thus leaving more room than was actually needed in the old building. This, however, should not have been so. We feel that our people have somewhat neglected a duty to the society in not placing greater number of articles on exhibition there. Our merchants, too, have both neglected a duty to the so ciety, and missed a rare opportunity for advertising. Every merchant of prominence in the city should have had a display there.

In this respect the manner in which the Kansas City Fair is sustained by the merchants of that place is worthy our imitation. This, we have been assured, will be the case hereafter. The failure to exhibit wai more a matter of neglect than, delib erate intention. There-ware, howev er, several fine from which we are certain the exhibitors will reap due advantage. Raymond Officer showed a foil line of the celebrated White Bewing Machines.

These were in charge of Mr. A. P. Free, who explained the machine to all comers, and gave exhibits of its practical work, among which were some very handsome things. The portrait of James A.

Garfield, made my white stitching on a black ground, was among these. The White is a very simple, and, at the same time, durable machine. Win. Oardner.the enterprising furniture dealer, had a fine exhibit of chamber furniture and other things. The fact is that few people know the extent of Mr.

Gardner's stock. He has not heretofore had room to show it, but having added another room to his establishment for the purpose of showing goods, people can see that the fine specimens of furniture shown at the fair represent correctly his elegant stock. CadweH had on exhibition a Tery tasteful and ingentouaiy arranged exhibit of hardware. Mr. Cadwell, too, has labored under the disadvantage of selling goods in a store room very poorly calculated for showing goods to His exhibition nf samples, however, was a credit to his reaEy fine stock of goods.

A. Philip' of the Palace Dnig Store, bad on exhibition a show ham, Geo. B. Hossack, James Schol-field, A. Buchanan, and Bidwell Bros.

These gentlemen have been so long accustomed to carrying off all the rib bons for both fine wool and long wool sheep, that it may be that other shocp-growers are discouraged. Of this we are, however, skeptical. While these gentlemen have very good flocks there are many others in the county who could well afford to place exhibitions in competition. It was, however, in the horticul tural hall where the grand victory of the year was scored. At the first en trance to the building the eye was dazzled at the grand array of fruit particularly of apples.

In this class alone there were exhibitited no less than eighty-five varieties. Mr. S. Myers carried off from five competitors the premium for "largest num ber of varieties," having shown forty two kinds. As many as seventeen entries were made for single varie ties, and over four hundred plates of apples were shown in all.

We have been told by gentlemen who were there, and who are well-qualified to judge, that the exhibition of apples at our fair was better than that at the recent state fair at Topeka. It is probable that a collection of Craw ford comity fruits will be made for exhibition at the Garfield Memorial Exhibition at Washington. The speed ring of the fair has never been made a strong point We have placed our main reliance on making a good agricultural exhibition. If we succeed in doing this, all else might very well be dispensed with. Yet, our speed ring afforded good attractions to those fond of that kind of sport There were seven races ail one on Wednesday, two on Thursday, and four on Friday.

Many good horses were here from abroad. and exhibited their speed. The chief attraction, however, was afforded by home horses. The trotters owned by S. W.

Emery, Dr. E. E.Hulis,and A. Underwood, D. S.

Miller's run ner, and Tim MoHoy's pacer, really astonished the folks. It is believed by good horsemen that Emery has a treasure in John Dr. Hillis has reason to be proud of his horse, which has, indeed, surprised him, A commendable feature of the fair has been that not a single gambling device was allowed on the grounds. The society has shown that it is anxious to make a moral place of its fairs, to which any citizen may go without prejudice to his convictions. We think that what has been done this time shows what can be done next year.

The fair can easily be made five times better, and it must be. From this time on let every cit izen put his shoulder to the wheel and push the matter along. The premiums awarded will be found elsewhere. KEPUBLICAJf JUDICIAL TION. George Chandler, of Independence, Nomi natea on cne ztntn uauot.
