THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1900 STATE FAIR IS PROSPERING Towa's Great Exposition Proves a M Making Institation, REPORTS OF OFFICERS ARE SUBMITTED Soeretary Make a Fine to the Farmers' Inw at ita Second Day's Seasion. DES MOINES, Dec. 12.—(Special.)—The closlng day of the lowa State Farmers' Institute and State Agricultural convention ‘was marked by the reading of a few papers and the reading of the reports of the of- cers of the soclety having ln charge the state fair and supervision over county and trict tairs, The first and most important of thews reports was that of Secretary George Van Houten, which covered the whole range of fair work in the state and the general agricultural and berticultural interests of tho state, his report forming the sady of the annual year book pub- Jshed by the state. He called attention the fact that lowa crops, according to his estimates, are worth about $35,000,- 000 more this year than last, owing to bet- ter crops, larger acreagoe, greater diversity and better prices. Tho lowa State falr of 1900 was, under the: circumstances, a record-breaker. The society had on hand last January $16,584.52. The gate receipts fair amounted to 3$30,775.50 and total $68,562.97. The soclety now h; in the new year $28,616.61. The fair directory board this year abolished all entry fecs except in case of money pre- miums, chiefly in speed classes, and this was found to be very successful in Increas- ing the nmumber of exhibitors. Another good thing done this year was to keep the entries open until Monday morning, even though the fair commenced on Friday. The secretary reported that eighty-four county and district fairs reported for sccuring the state appropriation of $200 each. The average recelpts of these local fairs in Towa was $2,667 and the average amount Paid in premiums $665. The new law pro- viding that agriculture and horticulture shall be taught in the public schools has not brought good results because there 1s much opposition to it. He recommended that county fairs should be more gen- erally attended by the teachers and puplls in the public schools. The Iowa hortlcul- turists are not realizing thelr expecta- tions in the matter of profit from frult growing, but there Is still great interest in orticulture. Presldent Congratulates All President Johnson, In his annual address, referred but briefly to the conditions Which combined to make the falr of 1900 & greater success than any of Its prede- cessors. The new soclety, now known the Department of Agriculture for Iowa, has nothing to complain of and starts out in & most prosperous condition. He recom- mended the building of an amphitheater at @ach show ring, and many other minor improvements. The reports of officers were referred to proper committees and approved. A reso- lution mildly approving the proposed na- tional forest reserve at the headwaters of the Mississippl river and recommending that the gavernment put all forest reserves under control of the Department of Agricul- ture was passed. H. W. Byers of Harlan county presented the resolutions, which congratulate the peo- ple of the whole country on the prevalling prosperity, and especlally the prosperity of the farmers of lowa, who are doing busi- mess on the present good times basis. The address of the president was commended and his recommendations were approved. The resolutions also recommended the printing of the year book, payment belng made out of the funds of the soclety, and a committee to be appolnted to go before the next legislaturo and secure reimbursement ‘The last legislature failed to make an ap- propriation for this purpese, The work of all officers of the soclety was commended. The resolutions were adopted. This dls- posed of all business except the election of oficers and directors. R. J. Johnston of Humboldt was unani- mously re-elected president. John C. Frasler of Bloomfield was elected vice president in the same way. Directors—J. P. Manatry, Fairfleld; Charles Phillips, Maquoketa; W. C. Brown, Clarion; 8. T. St. John, Riceville; 8. B.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Catarrh cure, has the following advantages over other catarrh remedles. First: These tablets contain no cocaine, morphine or any other injurious drug and are as safe and beneficial for children as for adults; this is an fmportant point when it 18 recalled that masy catarrh remcdies do contain these very objectionable ingre- dlents. Next: Being in tablet form this remedy dess not deteriorate with age, or an ex- posure to the alr as liquid preparations in- wvariably do. Next: The tablet form not only pre- serves the medicinal properties, but it is 80 far more convenient to carry and to uso st any time that it is ouly a question of time when the tablet will entirely super- sede liquid medicines as it has already done in the medical departmeat of the United Btates army. Next: No secret is made ot the composi- tion of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they con- tain the active prineiple of Eucalyptus bark, red gum blood root and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptics which, however, are death to catarrhal germs wherever found, because they eliminate them from the blood. Next: You cannot cure catarrh by local applications to the nose and throat, becaus theso are simply local symptoms and such treatment cannot possibly reach the real seat of catarrhal disease, which is the blood; for this reason inhalers, douches, sprays and powders never really cure ca- tarrh, but sitmply give temporary reliet which a dose of plain salt and water will do Just as well. Catarth must be driven out of the s tem, out of the blood, by un internal rem- y because an internal remedy Is the only kind which can be assimilated fato the blood. Stuart's Catarrh Tublets do this better than the old form of treatment because they contaln every safe specific kuown to mod- ern sclence in the antiseptic treatment of the disease. Next: The use of inhalers and spraying apparatuses, besides being Ineffeffctive an disappolnting 18 expensive, while a com- plete treatment of Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets can be had at any drug store in the United Btates and Canada for 50 cents, ‘ be 80 accommodating to his patrons here- after as to keop the United States poss office open on Sunday. Some of his patrons begged of him to have the postoffice of the vil kept open for a short time each Sunday and after consulting with attor- neys as to whether or not he had the right to do w0 or was under obligation to thus accommodate the postoffice patrons he de- cided he would do so. This was pleasing to many of the patrons of the office, but not to a few, who made complaints which culminated in the filing of a charge against Mr. Haney of violating the state law against laboring on the Sabbath day. He was taken into court and fined. He b paid his fine end will keep the postoffice closed on Sunday hereafter. For weveral months the Des Moives Job- bers' and Manufacturers’' association has been trying to devise some plan by which a reduction in freight rates can be secured It 1s thought one has finally been found. It fa proposed to organize a transportation company, whlch shall take care of the shipments out of and to Des Moines, thus securiog a large portion of the freight busi- ness of the city, after which it will be of- tered to the road which will offer the best rates for it. Mrs Broadbent Shot. At 8 o'clock this evening Mrs. Broadbent, the witness in the Richardson divorce case who gave such sensatjonal testimony against Mrs. Richardson, ‘was shot in the back of the head and will probably dle. She claims she was shot by a man who came into her room, but there Is a sus- plelon that it was attempted suicide on account of the notoriety of the case Judge McPherson, in the United States district court, today decided that John Kline, marsbal of the town ot Colfax, must €0 to jail for three days for contempt of court. Kline was accused of violation ot the liquor laws and in order to prevent a trial arrested and confined in jail one of the leading witnesses In the case. He claimed that the arrest was done to pro- tect his own life, but the court decided that it was done to defeat justice. Scott Slabaugh of Colfax Is already serving a twenty-day sentence for contempt in the same case. Judge McPherson declares he will purity the air in the criminal depart- ment of his court and put an end to such methods of preventing justice. Miss Ethel Cremford of Mitchellville, this county, was stirriug the fire when a spark flew out and into a can of kerosene, caus- ing & fire which completely enveloped her before she could get away. Her clothes were burned off and her body frightfully burned, so that it is almost certain she will die. MASONIC TEMPLE DEDICATED at Sh Formally Opened te Banquet.

Callanan, grantee of Monona county of all swamp land withia its bous- | daries, for a resurvey by the government of a 1,200-acre tract that lles in townships 43 and 84 and comprises some of the best tarms in the county.

INDIANOLA, Ta., Dec. 12.—(Special.)— Mrs. Hossack, in Jall on a charge of mur- dering her husband, will be released on bail as soon as Justice Ross fixes the amount. The transcript of the evidence taken at the coroner's inquest was sub- mitted to him and he has decided that it 18 proper to admit the defendant to bail, but has not yet been able to agree on the amount. 7There 1s no doubt that Mrs. Hos- sack will bo able to give ball in any reason- able amount. The prevailing sentiment in Warren county {s turning somewhat in her favor as the people consider more carefully all the evidence in the case. It is now cur- rently rumored that the chemical analysis bas shown thal the blood on the ax, which was found tho day after the murder, and which was supposed to have beem the weapon used by the assassin, is In reality not human blood, but that uf a chicken and that the weanon of the assassin has never been found.
