UtRNINO.
Yesterday afternoon was a time of activity
at the fair ground getting things In shape for
to-day. A great many of the exhibits will not
be in until this forenoon on account of the
bad condition of the roads. It is expected
that nearly everything will be in shape at II

Already there is an interesting exhibit in
position and it is constantly Increasing.
FI.ORAL HALL.
The objeot of greatest attraction to many
will be floral hall. The outside Is a«t mw
tremely attractive, but the Inside has been
converted Into a thing of beauty by the tasty
fingers of members of the decorative com­
mittee and exhibitors.
The display of flowers, fancy work, fruit,
jams, cookery, etc., is attracting the attention
of all comers*.
Some of the parties who have their exhibits
already in place are W. F. Day, who repre­
sent Austin and Mower county for the popu­
lar White Sewing Machine, and has one of the
finest displays in Floral Hall. Mr. James
Forest, general agent, is assisting Mr. Day,
and they are exeouting some fine work. Let
us say right here, don't come to the Fair with­
out looking over this fine display.
Cook & Roberts have a fine assortment of
stoves. They are as neat as a picture and the
one tbat is running is a regular gem.
McBrlde has a little grocery store in running
«rder, and Harlington's Lake Side Organ is in
position to make music for the whole estab­
lishment.
Abrahams & Hanf have their corner filled
with a beautiful display of monuments, vases

SUDDEN DEATH.
Samuel Piokham died very suddenly
at his home between the Cedar river and
and M, & N. W. track, Sunday morning,
at half past eleven o'clock. Mr. Pink
ham had been a resident ot Mower coun
ty about twenty years, formerly living
in Lyle township. He was about fifty
years old and leaves a wife to whom he
had been married about two months.
The coroner held an inquest on the re­
mains Monday afternoon and the verdict
was that deceased came to his death from
strychnine administered by his own
hand. It could not be determined wheth­
er he took the poison with the intention
of self destruction or whether it was an
overdose of the drug taken as a mede
cine. It is shown that he was adicted to
the use of laudunnum and other danger­
ous drugs.
The remains will be buried to-day bjr
the G. A. R. Post, of which organization
the deceased was a member.
A OARING ROBBERY.
The house of James Mills was* entered
by burglars Sunday night and his pants
containing a watch and twenty dollars in,
money taken. In the morning the pants
were found neat James Cronon's house,
but minus the money and watch. Mr.
Mills believes that the house was entered
while the family werte at church and that
the thieves concealed themselves until
after the family had retired, when they
secured their booty a»)d made their escape.
The front door which Mr. Mills locked
before retiring was found unlocked in
the morning. No due to the perpetrators
of the bold deed bas been discovered and
it seems probable that they will make
good their escape.
TO THE I'lTlEENS OF AUSTIN.
I respectfully request that all places of
business in the city be closed, from 1 un­
til 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Wednes­
day, Sept. 14,1887, so that our business
men and their employes may have an op
portuity to participate in the exercises
on the Fair Grounds, I trust this request
will be fheerfnlly complied with.

AUSTIN, MOWER C0UNTY, MINN., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER
MUSICALS.
A very pleasant affair lest Friday even­
ing, was a musicale, given by Miss Alice
Harvey and her class, at the residence of
Mr.
The music played by some of the older
members of the class was of a high grade
and well executed. And the way some
of the little ones played was simply
wonderful, and clearly demonstrated that
they had had the best of instruction, and
lots of practice.
After the exercises of the class were
over, Miss Harvey was called upon and
favored the party with instrumental
music. Miss Alexander also played a
favorite waltz.
Through the efforts of Mr. Engle, Miss
Harvey and Miss Alexander were induced
to play a duett, the "Swedish Wedding
March" to the delight of the audience.
Not satisfied yet, Miss Alexander was
pursuaded to sing the song of "The
Brook."
This closed the program for the evening
and all departed for their homes much
pleased with the evenings entertainment
and wishing for a repetition in the near
future.
Of two cows that differ one gallon
a day in milk production, says the
Farmers' Budget, the one that gives the
greatest quantity, reckoning the milk at
eight cents a gallon for two hundred days
in a year represents a capital of two
hundred dollars more than the other.
The extra gallon of milk for two hun
dred days is worth sixteen dollars, that
is, at eight per cent., the iuterest on two
hundred dollars. The entire cost of
keeping the Cow, if there is any, is more
than made up in the difference in value
of their calves. The owner of the cow
receives just as much profit from the
better cow as be would from the poorer
one, and a note of two hundred dollars
drawing eight per cent, interest. Be­
tween the poorest cow and the best one
in the .average dairy there will be a very
large difference when calculated in this
way. Yet we can see no reason why
these figures are not correct.
