Mr. Smith from Maple Hill won the 100 yards race. Dan Myers said that he never saw a larger crowd on the fair grounds. The prizes for best draft horses were awarded to J. B.

Dungan. Julien, (Belgian beauty,) took the first, aud Ontario, (norman) took the second prize. No entries were made for roadsters. Notwithstanding the threatening kind of weather, the picnic at John Wood's, and that W. E.

Dunaway went to Broughton; we had a large attendance at the fair grounds on the 4th, and everybody except Dan Myers seemed to enjoy themselves. Prof. Vincent's speech was a master-piece, eminently appropriate to the occasion, and seemed to suit everybody except those who came to criticize, to distort, and to well, to send out lying reports, such as we heard on the grounds before the exercises were closed. Fred Smith deserves great credit for putting his horse (Reuben Drake) in the race last Saturday. He refused to do so for some time, but finnally consented to enter his horse in order to add to the entertainment, on certain conditions.

And right here an explanation is due. While the horse driven by his opponent was r.ot only well shod and weighted, but trained and hardened. Mr. Smith's horse was baref joted and soft. Lest some one should think that the horses had an equal chance in the race we( without lequest on Mr.

Smith's part) make the above explanation. PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY, East side of park. All work strictly first class and guaranteed satisfactory. 0 oppying and Enlarging Done To Order, Childrens Pictures a Specialty. '11.

BMCQIMIIITCDWITH THE OEQQIUPIIY OFTHIS COUNTRYWIU tBTAfl MUOH VALUABLE INFORMATION FROM A STUDY OF THIS MAP OF TC3 It the Rank and File of the Democratic Tarty Prove to, Be Alliancemen? A special from Jacksoii, to the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche says: "The democratic mass meeting of Calhoun county on Saturday last indorsed the entire Ocala platform, and agreed not to support candidates in the coming primary for the legislature who wili not pledge themselves to vote for sub-treasury senators.

It was also resolved to measure candidates for the county and local offices by the Ocala yardstick. Maj. Barksdale was indorsed for senator, and confidence was affirmed in the wisdom and integrity of Hon. Frank Burkitt, state alliance lecturer, and hailing the day when he will give the people an opportunity of promoting him to a position where he can. serve them with that fidelity with which he has served them through the press and the forum.

This is regarded as an indorsement of Capt Burkitt for Walthall's successor and makes the second county to declare for him." Commenting editorially, the Appeal-Avalanche says: "A mass meeting of democrats in Calhoun county, has indorsed the Ocala platform and declared for Barksdale and Burkitt for the senatorship. The situation begins to grow interesting." The Brookhaven (Miss. Leader thus Outlines the probable outcome of this "interesting" situation: "Having in turn ridiculed, sneered at and denounced the demands of the alliance, and even threatened to read alliance-men out of the democratic party all to no avail the extreme opponents of the sub-treasury bill in Mississippi are now changing their tactics. They suddenly affect to believe there is great danger of splitting the democratic party and jeopardizing white supremacy in the state if the persist in standing up for their demands, and the same old cry of negro domination that has been made to do service so many times before when there was really no danger, but the politicians wished to work a trick and carry a point, has been invoked as a last resort. The trick, however, is too transparent this time, to deceive any but the most hopelessly ignorant.

Every one with the least intelligence knows the alliance is not trying to form a new party or destroy the democracy. Everybody knows that the farmers of this state have sacrificed most to secure white supremacy in her political affairs and would be the last to surrender it. Everybody knows that there has been no proposition in this state to carry the fight out side of the democratic party. Wherever the alliancemen have resolved not to support candidates who were opposed to the sub-treasury plan, it has invariably been with the implied, if not the expressed understanding, that such resolutions were to apply in the democratic primaries before the nominations were made, and not afterward. Even party prohibitionists, who have declared for the formation of a new party, have not proposed to make any fight outside of the democratic party in this year's contest When, therefore, both alliancemen and prohibitionists propose to fight inside of white party lines and abide the results of the nominations, the proposition that negro domination will result bears absurdity on its face, unless it is the concealed purpose of the ring politicians to follow the example of the Haskellites of South Carolina and bolt the nominations and try to organize the negroes because they can't boss the alliance.

That is the only danger to white supremacy we see in the situation, and that won't amount to a fig, for if the attempt is made by the would-be democratic bosses after their defeat to organize the negroes and all the fag ends of republicanism against the alliance candidates, they will be as incontinently squelched as were Haskell and his howlers." PARTISAN ALLIANCEMEN. Blinded By Partisanship They Cannot Dis- tlngnlsh Between Friends and Enemies. I notice that W. B. Garoutte comes to the front, as usual, with one of his characteristic partisan communications, in which he, as is his custom, advises alliancemen to become partisans and vote the democratic ticket.

Fearing, however, that his partisanship may be considered too intense for a consistent allianceman, he offers as an excuse the astounding and ridiculous statement that the democratic party advocates alliance principles. Ye gods and little fishes. What single demand is there of the Ocala platform that the democratic partv indorses or advocates? Where is my chestnut bell? I know that Mr. Garoutte will spring1 upon me that hoary old chestnut "tariff reform." I would suggest to Mr. Garoutte that he obtain a file, covering1 the last six months of Puck, the illustrated nation al organ of the democratic party, and see if he can denote one single principle or demand of the alliance that has not, in Puck, been villainously and insult ingly denounced and ridiculed.

Indeed, he need go no further back than the last issue, June 8, to prove the truth of what I say. Let him take that issue, and studying well the vile and insulting cartoons therein contained, give us the exact degree of intensity of the absorbing love entertained by the democratic party for alliance principles. Does not he know that the bosses and leaders of the democratic party have entered into a conspiracy with Wall street to stamp out and destroy the Farmers' Alliance? If he does not know this let him study the utterances of such men as Carlisle and Mills, and he will become con vinced. Is he not aware that in several of the southern states the alliance is at this very time engaged in a struggle to the death with this very party we are asked to believe advocates alliance principles. Mr.

Garoutte had better read the news from Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee, and he would perhaps be greatly profitted by reading the national organ of his order, and the state organs of the alliance in the vari ous southern states. In this connection the editorial utter ances of the Progressive Farmer, Presl dent Polk's own paper, are of intense interest and grave portent Here is a short sample of suv-h editorir.ls for Mr. Garoutte to digest: "The question what will the alliance do with the new party? is on the lips of tens of thousands of anxious people' to-day. Well, it ought not to take much wisdom to answer that question. The new party has adopted the alliance! demands into its platform.

Does any one suppose that Intelligent alliance-men will vote against a party that adopts those demands and in favor of a party that not only fails to adopt but resists those demands? The western alliance states have already gone into the new party. Will not the necessity of alliance unity force the other alliance states to go into tho new party also?" Mr. Garoutte says: "Is it possible any man is so ignorant in politics as to suppose a third party could be organized in a year and a half to cope with either the republican or democratic parties." It may surprise Mr. G. to learn it, but it is a fact nevertheless, that within the space of sixty or ninety days the new party will be the best organized political party in the United States.

It is already such, in Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. Moreover, it will be numerically, in voting strength, the most powerful party in existence. The Farmers' Alliance and. democratio party to kill the republican party and when that is done we can orv ganize a second party (not a third) and' force our demands, if we have any unheeded, and want to go into politics." I should imagine that one of the surest ways to divide the alliance against itself upon partisan lines is to use the very arguments aavancea Dy Mr. Garoutte.

Does he suppose that men of principle will form a coalition with their life-long political enemies and unite in the ranks of one of the old parties? It is true that unprincipled men, political bosses and wire-pullers, willing henchmen of the plutocracy in both old parties, have already formed a coalition in South Carolina, and the indications are that such coalition will become general By what name will this coalition be known? In those days where, oh, where will be the democratic party? True alliancemen have no lovo or affinity for either of the plutocratic twins, but would just as soon assist the republican party to kill the democratic party as to assist democrats to destroy the republican party. "Come ye out from among them, oh my people," saith the Lord. There are but two parties, the people's party and the plutocracy. George C. Ward, in Alliance Echo.

UoiJ Save the People. I will pause to ask the policy holders of the "wild cat," "cheap John," mutual, Topeka Capital Insurance Concern if they recollect what I told them a long time ago? ISTow that the leafless rose of disappointment waves oe'r the paupers grave of the Topeka Capital concern, the mutual hie insurance companies seem to be receiving, and deceiving, institutions. They receive the cash from the public, and they pock the money and then they appoint another receiver, and the courts order the new receiver to assess the dupes to pay up the losses of the poor unfortu nate fellows that meet with losses dur ing the short life of this receiving insti tution. Aud if there are enough left of the patrons of this irresponsible outfit that are not financially "busted," they are compelled many times to settle the bill, no matter if it does squeeze their little home comforts, 1 hayu several decisions of the courts which ought to be read by any person who contemplates being taken in by one of these mutual "wild cats" Call at my office and I will show them to you, 1 would further say that I never attended a guessing school and when I say that a. company is a fraud I dont guess ft it, but 1 have facts to prove what I sav.

Be ye not deceived by these agents that tell you they have no losses in Kansas. They have losses but do not pay them. They have no losses for they do not pay them, and they haye no reputation to loose. The only loss is suffered by the poor un fortunate victim of misplaced conli deuce. To illustrate: The Capital In surance company of Topeka, is flooding the country with bills which they intend to be detrimental to the honest com Danies doing business in this state.

Bet ore you are deceived by them or any other mutual company please turn to pages 82, 83 and 84 of the Kansas Insur ance report 1890, there you will learn by their own sworn statement that they resisted over C6 per cent of claims for losses under their policies, add to that over 4 per cent of losses due and unpaid and it will show you the result of losses under their policies for 1889. Does not this showr that their insurance is worth very little if anything, A policy tha will not meet a just claim is worthless paper. We hold no spite against the Capital, but we take them to illustrate our views on tne mutual system or insurance, as our farmers have been pes tered bv them for many years.

COUNTRY SUNSHINE. Union. Quite a number from this community attended the Fourth of July picnic in Clay Center. 1 1 was one of the most successful celebrations we ever attended. Prof.

Vincent's orations was a splendid effort. It is much appreciated and will long be remembered by Clay county people. The patriotic blood of the boys of '76 still courses in the vains of the American people. Knowing this, we still haye hope that the principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence will yet be given full force by laws passed for the benefit of the whole people, and enacted by the servants of the people. Union Alliance met Monday night in regular meeting.

County Pres. Newman was present and installed the newly elected officers. The attendance was good, eonsidering the threatning condition of the weather. Ben Adams is expected home this week. His many friends will be glad to see him restored to his usual health.

D. O. Hemphill is in Clay Center attending court as a juror. His wife is visiting in town. Will Reed has finished cutting Mr.

Sturgeon's wheat. A. J. Kellogg and wife of Clay Center visited at James Remington's and John Wehm-hoif's, last Sunday. Miss Beatrice Tngamell of Clay Center is visitin-r the family of T.

P. Rusco. R. Fowles commenced to cut his oats Monday. Sam Conrow has stacked his wheat.

The rain and murky weather has temporarily stopped the music of the sell-binders, The harvest is great and the laborers none too many; but, with favorable weather, the grain will be saved in good condition. Felix. Wakefield. Misses Minnie Gaston and Emily Eustace came djwu from Clay Center Saturday where they have been attending the Institute. P.

Strack, J.D. Griffin, and their two daughters spent the Fourth at Wakefield. Mrs. R. T.

Batchelor and Mrs. F. Dodson started for Chicago Thursday noon and arrived at their destination at 8:40 a.m. the next day. That is making pretty good time.

J. W. F. Caffarata came down from Mor-ganyille to celebrate in Wakefield. Before Judge Ryan, oh July 2nd, Emmet Pettet and Miss Nellie Towle were united in the holy bonds of wedlock.

The happy couple lefi immediately for Jackson county, this state, where they will visit friends for a short time before they return home. Although this is not the first match made within tbe membership of the Wakefield F. A. I. they none the less have the good wishes of the entire order.

What would a person think after hunting for a coat which had been laid down under a tree, to find it on another man? We are glad to hear that the villian was caught, and we hope that he will bo prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The celebration at Wakefield was all that could have been expected under the circumstances. We are sorry that this split occured but that there was a split was apparent to all. Fully two thirds of the people in Wakefield Saturday were total strangers. Tlierc is however, no need of this occuring again.

Although the crowd was kept waiting for nearly or quite two hours the parade was verv short consisting of the band, part of the G. R. Post and a fair showing of Odd Fellows. It was remarked by one of the M. W.

of A. that there were not enough men in the procession to represent the strength of that order alone. About 3 o'clock people began to arrive from Fa distance and by 4 o'clock quite a fair crowd had assembled and tbe program commenced. Mrs. Martin showed her elocutionary talent by reading the Declaration of Independence aod appropriate speeches were listened to from Rev.

Martin, Rev. Brown and P. J. Strack, next in order came the races, which were very interesting. The fire works in the eyening were a credit to the societies in general and especially to the committee that had them in charge.

The celebration taken as a whole was certainly a success whether it was or not financially we cannot say, we hope that it was. Wakefield has always had the reputation of carrying out any thing that she undertakes, and we hope that she will always sustain that reputation. Waterloo. OUT AT LAST. Some weeks since notice was published of the Music Edition of the Alliance and Labor Songster.

Wood Manifestos" to be paid for out of the Clay county Alliance treasury and distributed to the Sub-Alliances in proportion to their membership. Whereas, There are, here and there brothers who are sometimes weak in the faith and liable to backslide under the pressure made by adverse workers.and who need to be urered forward for the support of the work, and Whereas, We use all possible help in order to enlighten others, that they may be converted to our faith. Resolved, That we favor the establishment of a circulating library in each sub-Alliance and would recommend the list of books as published by the Nonconformist. Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Clay county Sun, our county paper.

P. S. The new pass word is, (Be adhesive.) To All Friends of Political Reform. The peoples' party has been formed under the most favorable auspices, and gives promise of an early emancipation from the thrall-dom of the money power and other monopolists.

But this emancipation cannot be secured without special and extraordinary effort requiring large outlay in the preparation of documents, arranging meetings and other legitimate and proper purposes. To this end every earnest friend of political and economic reform and every reform organization is urged to contribute at once andlibebally. Don't delay a moment. Send the moaey now. Bring the matter up in your organizations at once.

A few dollars contributed now when the preliminary work is to bo done, may do more good than hundreds of dollars just before election when it is too late to organize and agitate. Remit all contributions to the secretary of the national committee. ROBERT SCHILLING, 482 Market Street. Milwaukee, Wis Notice.
