THE FAIR. Notwithstanding the many events that have conspired to lessen the succe s of the pre '-nt exhibition of the Cutler County Agricultural Association, it is in most re spects as satisfactory as could have been hoped. It has been maligned by unknown persons, who have started reports that no Fair could be held this year becauso of the scarcity of water. Others have reported that the Fair would be of little conse quence. The fact has been that the management has exerted itself to oiler greater induce ments than ever before. The premium list was just as large »s ever before, many improvement among the buildings on the grounds were made, the grand stand wa> enlarged, new welis were drilled, prepara tions were made to sprinkle the grounds and track daily and other means were taken to make all comfortable. On going down to the grounds Tnesday we found the road leading from the end of Jefferson street sprinkled, and not a bit dusty, and on arriving at the grounds, we found all the officers at their posts The first thing thing we noticed wa- the abundance of privilege ho Ulers. Every available site, nearly, ws« taken by the venders of peanuts, soft drinks and fruit. A run through the -tock department show ed some fme cattle, but we regret to say that it was mostly foreign to Butler coun ty • In the Poultry department were seen the usual thoroughbred chickens, some carrier pigeons, peafowl, etc., and an in teresting exhibit by the Homer City In cubator Co. They showed an incubator bringing out the chicks as natural as Jife. In Floral Hail we found D. A. Heck with his large exhibit of ornamental plants, and a beauty it was. The exhibits were coming in fast and the frnit display ed there did not tell tales of dry weather by any means. The main building we found in a very torn up state. There were but one or two exhibits in place and no estimate could be made of what the placa would look like lator. We noticed a fine and valuable ex hibit of fancy work by Mrs. J. N. Stewart of Butler. There were seven pieces valu ed at $250. It will attract much atten. tion. Campbell & Templeton, C. E. Mill er, The Batler Music Store, J. R. Grieb, and other prominent business houses were moving iu their exhibits. From here we strolled out to the grand stand, viewed several races, and saw how well arranged tho management now has the grounds. In the speed department the entries are not as large as in former years, but all the classes tilled well. On Tuesday the 2-year old trot or pace were reeled off and on Wednesday the 2:50 trot, 2:45 pace and 2:35 trot. For today the card is the best of tho meeting, and is as follows, 2:lGpace, 3:00 trot and 2:30 pace, aud for Friday there are good races, tho 2:25 trot and 2:40 trot. Personal. Prof. J. C.

The new well of Stage A L.eidecker on ■ the ilcCaslin farm is holding tip at 100 bbls a day and attracting a good deal ol attention. Marsh, Burke A Co's well on the Hill farm, a mile east of Mars, is producing 35 bbls a day. Patterson A Co's well on the Abbers farm is producing CO bbls a day. and Lei decker A- Go's Miller well 75 bbls a day. Clark A- Co's >~o. 12 Buxton is showing better than No. 1 on that farm, which is located 600 feet north of No. 2. The well of Golden & Co, still further north, is making 25 barrels a day. Tne runs from the Sisttrsvillo liald on Weduesday were 12,349 bbls. The latest developement in this eonuiy is that'on the Jacob Heaninger farm iwo miles south of Butler. It is 100-foOt tei ritory, and at present is doing immense ijuantities of sslt water aud ga*, but tie owners are confident of a good well. The Wuller well at Cooperstown las stimulated operation* there, and the * >«n is lull of derricks. The northeast end of the North Wash ington field is not making the holders of territory in that quarter feel very jubilant. Ackerly A Co. have completed their No. 2 I'alm and have a duster. Ueece, Seider mau A" 'Io. have completed a dry ho'e in the same part of tho field. Both wells are located in advance ol deveiopemouts to tho north east and will no doubt c »tise a cessation ol any more prospecting at that direction. The field operations for the month of August, according to the compilation of the Oil City "Derrick," shows an unex pected decline in new production. Tae big wells promised at Mannington haye failed to materialize anc a long period tf dry weather has postponed the completion oi work Drilling wells are fewor tiian last month, while the rigs show a large increase. Patterson A Sohn have d'ilied their test well on the Whiskeyman farm, located southwest of Saxonburg, through the 100- foot and found nothing in that formation. They will drill through tbe lower sands. Oil men are on very good terms with themselves this week, all on account of a very strong advance in the market. A few more dusters in tho deep territory at Man nington they think will place the market j back at the 90 mark. That part of tbe Southwest has bcoii the only point to cause any fear from any great amount of new production. Tbe rainmaker that will como this way and famish enough water to swell the streams will find that he can do business with a very large number of oil operators who are anxious to the drill in both old aud new territory. Accidents. At the funeral of Mr. Boyler, near Za lienople last week, a team became untnan agable, the wagon w»» upset, and Mr. Mc- Elwau, a brother of tine of the men killed by the explosion, was trampled by a horse. Jos Kerner had his hand badly cut by falling glass at the Plato Glass Works, Thursday. Thos Elliott, wile aud daughter were thrown from their curt at Sarvers Station a few days ago and ilrs. Elliott was seri ously injured. The death of Joseph Daugharty, au oil' citizen of Bovard or New Hope was caused in a strange manner. A cow th« h.) was leading to pasture, last Friday gave the rope a sudden and strong a id Daugh erty fell in a spasm and die I on Sunday. He was 75 years of age. Hallet Thompson, a graud son of John P. Thompson of Centre twp accidently shot himself through the leg last Sunday. He fxnnd an old revolver in a valise, up stairs, and was playing with it. Caley Bander, a sou of Henry Bauder of Muddy creek twp, cut his foot badly with an axe a few days ago. Etta Wright of Institute Hill fell down a (light of steps and broke her leg last Sunday.

The Minnesota Kires. lurrible fureat firea laged iu northern M :nnesota la»t Saturday and Sunday and over three hundred blackened bodies dis tributed at various points, boro «itneas to the fierceness of the flames. The fires ha 1 bdsu burning for several days,but on Saturday swept over everything combjsti ble in the section near Hinckley, a small town on the Grindstone river. This town was completely dostrored. 20) persons burned aud property to tbe value cf hundreds of thousands destroyed. St. Cloud is situated on the westeru elpe of the fire aud from that point east every th ng was blazing. Tao fires spread with great, rapidity. An estimate of the dead was: At Hinck ley 200; Sandstone 4ti; Sandstone Junctio i 23; Pokegama 20; Skunk Lake 29; miscel laneous 30. Total 355. The story of the cartstrophe w.iich wiped out Him kley is a short one. The town was built of wood. Tne school hoase, erected last year at a cost ofslo,ooo, and one-half the Duluth round house were tha only brick structures in the city. The Eastern Minnesota roundhouse an 1 water tank on the southwestern edge of the town, almost iu the woods, escaped the flames—a circumstance the more re markable from the fact that it sto id di rectly in the path ol the lire, which seems to have jumped it as cleanly *•< if playing leap frog. About 3 o'clock, Saturday afteruoou, the fire literally jumped into tho town. Its approach was not gradual. Il did not cut its way along, devouring everything in its path, bat cauie iu hugb leaps, as if to overtake everything before it, and then burned back at its leisure. It is described by those who wituessed its onward progress at Hinckley and else where, as ifit were forced along by cy clones of its own generation. The intense heat would develop a veritable whirlwind of flime that aciually twisted off poplar tr res several inches in thickum* and gatheriug huge blazing firebrands high iu the air. and carrying them forward for from 40 to 80 rods, there to fall and begin t e work of devastation anew. Some escaped by a tram wuiuh pulled out just before the fire reached the town. The people who were left in tho place seemed to be in an almost hopeless condi tion. Horses wero harnessed to buggies and wagons. Woineu and children were hur riedly loaded. In some cases attempts were made to carry off some household goods; bat in most instances tbe people had no thought for aught but their lives. Probably 200 of thsin left to ra on loot or in vehicles, plaagtug into the woods to the north across the Grindstone river, which .-kirts tho town. Over tho hill that rises bnyoud the Grindstone is a swamo; to this most of tho people with teian heade l bat it proved no protection . The fire gave them no opportunity to go further Some abandoned their tjatn* and ran into the lower portions of the morass, but the fire sought them out. Not one wai eft to tell the tale, and there in a space of little less than four or live acres were counted 130 carp,OOO j men being in line.
