A mysterious theft occurred at the Bliss House some days since, to the perpetrators of which there seems absolutely no clue. A cham ois skin wallet containing about $130, belonging to Miss Alma Bliss, was taken from her trunk in an up stairs room. A purse containing $13, and lying upon the till in open sight, was not touched, and one con taiuing $22, belonging to Miss Nell Bliss and lying in an unlocked trunk in the same room, was left behind, It was a severe loss, and seems to be irreparable, as there isn't the slight est suspicion of who the thief can be.

Notice our generous special premiums. Delaware Grange will be on hand with a collection of grains, grasses, fruits, kc. Observe: The premiums are to be paid on the grounds the last day of the air. Everyone should take a public spirited interest in the Fair. The way to do se is to become an interested exhibitor.

J. P. Wilson wants several able-bodied men to help him eat the fine watermelon, for which he offers a special premium. The secretary is in receipt of sev eral inquiries for space by exhibit ors outside of the countv; and it is thought the exhibit will be the lar gest ever seen in the county. Farmer Cooper says there is going be plenty to drink on the ground he has to sell cider.

The secre-retary has sampled his goods and would cheerfully recommend the same to a thirsty public. Keep it before the people. The wells have all been cleaned out; the track has been put in good condition the grounds have been mowed and everything put in good shape to make it comfortable and pleasant for exhibitors and The competing exhibits for the $25 premium for best display of fine arts by societies of ladies, will be the great attraction of the halls. The north and east annexes of the main hall having been engaged by two societies of Oskaloosa for that purpose. The president and secretary will compete with each other for the honor of raising the best corn.

It rumored that the president has leeii ransacking his neighbors' fields for tine specimens. The secretary won't do that, because he don't think it would be right. As will be seen by our announcements, candidates for political announcements are getting numerous. And there are more in the air. J.

A large number of excursionists went from here to Leavenworth last Saturday. Owing to some blunder on the part of the railroad company, the extra cars were not pro vided, and the crowd had to do the best it could, some of them standing about all the way down. They were well received at Leavenworth, those who heard Carl Hoffman's free con cert especially being well pleased. A good many visited the Soldiers' Home, fort and other points of in terest. Critchfield has better bargains, and more of them than an store in the county, The ladies' society of the Presby terian church have decided, we learn, to make a display again this year of fine arts and fancy work, at the Fair.

With this and the exhibit made by the Methodist ladies and others, this department ought to show up better than ever before. We hope the cooking department will not be al lowed to suffer.

Its or igin was a row between a lot of rascally and drunken cowboys and a few Ute Indians over a horse race, the cowboys attempting to cheat the Indians out of prizes fairly won. This quarrel was seized upon by a lot or town site speculators as a "good enough Morgan" on which to base a larger row, which would despoil the Indians of their reservation. The Utes were the aggrieved party, from the beginning to the end of the trouble. hx. Yesterday Judge Cutlers office was crowded nigh to overflowing, by a party of Harvey county citizens who appeared as defendants in suits brought against them on notes, by a party who purchased them of the Burlington Insurance Co.

The notes were given as payment on policies and all of them were long past due. The defendants came from various towns and seemed to resemble each other in one respect at least and tfcat was their deep-seated desire to make a fight against the payment of the notes. Most of the cases were continued. Xetrton Republican. A number of such cases art being instituted in this couuty, for the same company, on old notes.
