JACKSON. Description of a Lively Michi- gan Fair, Notes Along the Route Frora Omaha. Correspondcnico of The Pee. Jacrsox, Mich., Sephenier 23 Your bowrded the train at Omaha Mandey afternoon, September b, with a hasily selocted wardrobe, and a well-fitled lunch bas- %ket, to sastain the inndz man, while «en ronte to the state of Michigan, Many thanks to. mty old employers ~Stoele; Johnson & Co., grocers of your city—who furnished me with a pass over the Wabneh line by the way of St. Louis to Olsicago and return, We crossed the company’s monop- oly bridge over tho Big Muddy, ar- rived at the transfor, where we were delayed until € o'clock p. m. for the western U, P. train, After much anxiety on the ’]mrt of pnssengers, we weroe nt last under way for St. Louis. Tho road bex being in good condition, ‘the cars run at times at a break-neck nce. To mse the expression of a jad aboard-the train: “It's but a puff, then she'll zip." About forty miles south of Ceuncil Bluffs at or neara place called Emogene, we wero again delayed, this time by a train jumping the track<down an embankment some twelve feet, Several cars went over, killing ene man and a weman, and wounding several others, Soon'we were underway again, al- theugh some three hours late, caused by the-delay nccident. The rest of the night was passed in quictude, as- most -of the passengers were soon sleeping. When -daylight again ap- peared we wero fast approaching St. Louis. Missouri, ike Nebraska and many other states, shows signs of the severe dry weather. In many localities there were neither signs of grain, hay, or even straw stacks, and as for the corn crop it seemed just as bad, and we can say there is a big deficiency between this and last year. Many fields planted to corn last spring still stands, stripped of its leaves by the wind and not a visible sign of corn, although there are somo fields of corn good, all cut and’ shocked up in order. Cattlo and hogs are looking poor,.and T should remark that they would make splendid corn cribs for a heap of corn. Even the leaves on the trees scemed scorched as if a raging fire had swept over the land. All small streams and artificial reservoirs, or ‘“hog wallows,” as I may call them, were as dry as a barn floor. We crossed the Missouri river at a place called St. Charles, which showed an important town of some note, At 10:30 a. m., the 6th, we reached 8t. Louis. There wo found we were to late to make connactions with the east bound train for Chicago. There- fore we soon landed, sought a place for a general wash up, ate o rather late breakfast, or an early dinner— where we did amplo justice to the eatables &rapnred by mine host of the Grand Central hotel. After which we, country stylo, took in the sights of this great city, People uemug moving hither and thither, as much as to say, my busi- ness leads me this way orthat. Fore- fllngh‘u great circus was in session ere for four days, commencing the day before. Many important build- ingsare in the course of erection,. We were pointed outseveral, Among the many were the new Custom and Opera House. The latter when completed will be quite an ornament to that big burg, At eight o'clock p.m.; the conductor’s shrill voice echoed “all aboard,” and wo were soon under ground, running under the busy city towards the father of all rivers, the Miuinip{)h There, again the great monopoly power controls the traveling pubiic. Although we had to Chicago and return—25 cents was demanded for our Ylnlngo over the bridge, which we finally paid, after remarking that we thought the U, P. bridge at Omahs ‘was the only ““Gull Trap” to catch the trayeling public, but we have now " come to the conclusion that it is hereditary among railroad comanies, It was quite amusing to the passen. gers, as every ear was opened, but never & “pli came from the conduc- tor—who raked in the extra quarters as ho passed through the car. Nature again draped her mantle of darkness over and around us, save the light of that glorious queen of night, nided by the many thousands lttle twinkling eyes of the heavens above us. \IVhilq we slept others came and went, and when daylight again dawned we wero running at o rapid pace to- wards the great city of ?}hiugo. At “7:30 a, m. we arrived, and at nine we departod by the Michigan Central rail- road for Three Rivers, Michigan, on the air line. Hore we commenced our first visit with relatives and friends whom wo had not seea for seven years, **Throughout the counties of St. Joseph and rand, we have and dear friends, ere too, we have had many a l{:orfing day, with the rod and gun in the years gone by. But like the <ountry we have just passed through, at this date, we find fishing and hunt- ing very dry. Crops inthe above maued counties are light and farmers are fecling rather blue. Fruits of all kinds are soarce, In orchards that Javeo born its hundreds of bushels of wpples and peaches heretofore, this year are fruitless. At this date finds me at the above named ity of Jackson, whose popula- tion figures up to about 17,000 inhabi- tants, It is a railroad center of some note. - Here the State Prison is locat- ed which covers an area of some 25 acres of ground, At tlus prison the famous Jackson rwagon, which we can ace most any day upon tho streets of Omaha and other parts of the west,are made iu great numbers. There are soven hundred male prisoners occupy- ing cells hore at this prison, Yester- dl‘ at the prison they sold to visitors Hia tickets l‘;ffiun';omb, ax:l lll:d) wfln' M urs, Ll 0f 20 to 50 was conducted at tlmno through the departments. Time and ¥ prevents me given an explana- of the different apartments. state fair is in session here this corvespondent week, her oo the rush at the prison. Tho 8trsets are one continual jam of people of all grade, color, nationality and sizo, From early morn until late at pight, that same busy hum and “latter of horses hoofs sounding in your ear as they are hurrying over the Nicholson, or cobble stone pavement; and the ery of street peddlers, together with that Mflmly tramp, np, of pedesirians, all go to show Jackson to-day isin her glory. Monday and Tuesday of this week were days of sorrow, as the news wero freah in the memory of the long expected andrecent death of Presidant Garfield. All publie, private and busi- ness places, are yet draped in mourn- ing. That ever glorious emblem of the free is yet suspended at half-mast throughout the different parts of the city Thero wore a lavge display of ything usually seen at a stato fair, and 1 might say a litthe more. T will mention but one article at the present time, where they done the thing up large. Tt was a cake of hard soap; its only werght was 1,175 pounds Now, ladies, don't blush, but would it not be splendid to have such soap in Omsha? (€3 —_—— Blair's Budget. Correspondence of the Beo, Buae, Nob., September 26.—To- day has been the saddest day, perhaps, ever experienced by any one in Blair, At about 1 o'clock p. m. the bells commenced to toll and the people assembled in tho railroad park here for the purpose of paying the last tribute of respect to our late president, James A. Garfield. The John A. Dix post were in attendance. They marched from the post rooms to the grounds. The drums were mufiled and everything had a sad appearance, Warren Billings was chosen chairman of the meeting. Prayer was offerad by Rev. John Patrick, of Herman, Rev. G. W. Wainwright dolivered a sermon which was very appropriate for the occasion. Hon. Lorenzo Crounse, of F't. Cal- houn, delivered an oration upon the political life of Garfield which was ex- collent, Many were forced to shed tears by the remarks of Mr, Crounse. John 8. Bowen delivered an_oration upon the loss to the people. Rev, J. P. Andrew upon the character of Garfield and L. W. Osborn, upon his military career. Following these was a short address from Geo. Bigelow, of Ohio, The services lasted until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. About 1500 people wero at the pork, nearly all from Blair. All business houses wero closed from 1 p. m. until 4 p m, T'he explosion in Council Blufis was distinctly heard in Blair and many buildings shook from its effects. MUTUAL UNION TEL, CO.

Matters of Moment From that Part of the State. The Coming Mass Convention in Boone Connty Correspondente of The o Avnton, Boone ., Neb,, Sept. 26, —Albion ia just beginning to reap the benefits of another bountiful harvest throughout our whale county, and business of every kind has improved wonderfully duaring the last month. Messrs, Gunthor Bros. have just moved into their store on the corner of Church and Third streets, and are carrying one of the finest and most complote stocks west of Omaha, Flax has almost become one of the staple productions of Boone county, and is bringing a good price in our markets. There is some talk of large oil mills being erected on the Cedar, to utilizo the enormous quantities now being raised in the county, District court has been adjourned Luntil after election, by Judge Barnes. The tact that Clark has got his hands full, without any temperance compli- cations arising, probably azcounts for this action. The corn crop throughout the whole country is larger than ever before known, and is bringing forty cents per bushel, with no limit to the de- mand. A new bank is the latest improve- ment talked of. A Mr. Ball, from the cast, with an abundance of capital, has decided to locate hero and will build a handsome bank building before winter. Peters & Clark, after twice vainly trying to get a quorum of the central committeo together, carried out, on Saturday last, the scheme of disfran- chisement. Only five out of twelve republican committeemen were pres- ent, though they canvassed the city for two hours, vainly trying to ir.duce four others, who were in town, to join them. They finally pressed into ser- vice a democrat and they called the meeting to order. Whereupon, Mr. Moore, of Plum Creek precinct, arose and after ex- pressing in *he strongest ot terms his disapprobation of the course about to be pursued, moved that the selection of the delegates bo left to the mass convention, but not one of the five would second his moticn., Thereupon he promptly arose and loft the room, saying that he would have no part in such a d ul proceeding. The remaining five, with a democrat from Bonanza precinct, then appointed the following persons to represent Boone county in the state convention: T, B. Tiffany, A. Brooks, H. F. Snider, J. H. Robinson, Kittie Funroe. It is exceedingly doubtful whether twe or throe of the delegation will accept, as they have repeatedly oxpressed them- selves as strongly opposed to any such action. Next Saturday is the day for the Telegraph Company, being in excess of 810,000, shall be placed on the reg- ular list, and included in each call on and after a dy to ,be fixed. Mr, George W. Ballow, one of the chief promoters of the enterpriso, this af- ternoon said that the entire line be- tween New York and Chicago, by way of Alhany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Tufisdo, and Detroit, will certainly be completed and ready for business by the 16th of next month, and that an- other line will soon connect Bos- ton with Albany, by way of Spring- field, Mr. Ballow added: “A con- tract has been made with the Chicago & Milwaukee Tolegraph company for the use of their lines between Chica- go and Milwankee, and it is expectoed that the new lines which are being built between Milwaukeo and St. Paul and Chicago and St. Louis by the Mutual Union Telegraph company will be finished simultaneously with the line from Now York to Chicago.” The follow- ing statement of the present condition of the enterprise wag sent to-day to the holders of the securities of the company: “A southerly line has also been surveyed between Washington and Chicago, by way of Cumberland, Wheeling and Pittsburg, including Cincinnati, Zanesville, Columbus, Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Vandalia, and is being idly pushed toward .comple- tion. so that it is confidently expected that the company will have two indepondent routes to the west roady for servico within the next thirty days. A contract has alse been made to extend the company’s lines from St. Louis to Kansas City, and it is thought that they will be {milt be- fore theapproach of winter. A con- nection has also been made from Bos- ton to Bangor, via Portland, and that line is to be completed by the first of November. The construction and equipment of the lino has been kept up to an_efticient standard. All the wire which has been used ‘is of tho most substantial quality, and known as extra B B galvanized. In anticipation of meeting some ob- stacle in securing adequate size and quality of poles, the company having been obliged to avail itself of the stock in market, last spring several contracts were mado wit}x dealers mo a3 to wecure a continuous supply up to the time of cutting poles next winter, which will insure the necessary quan- tity ro?ulmd for this season’s work, There have been built 2,000 miles of pole line, one-half of which was erected during the months of June and July, and the engineer of the com- pany Poports that the construction is K&ngrminu at ‘an average of over miles a month, and adds that up- on the poles already erected there have been strung more than 10,000 miles of wire, sufficient supply of nstruments, batteries, and oftice plant is now held by the company to equip 800 offices. With a view to oponlng]lor public busiuess the tele- graph lines which have been fully equipped, the company is now seeking suitable locations in the different cities, and somo very fayorable sites have been secured in New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, and Baltimore,” o Help those who help themsclves,” and na- ture invariably helps those who take Warner's Safe Kidney and Li\'u{ Li‘uru. 20-1w rap- [ mass-convention, when the republican votersof Boone will meet to exercise the rightof choosing their own rep- runenl«ntivqt, and at migsentithere is every indication of this" being one of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings ever known in the county.

On Friday morning, before daybreak, near Plum Creek, Fw died, not having complained over twenty minutes. The authorities at Plum Oreek were imme- diatel; tified of his death.
