The change of wind to northwest has brought back the dry and tracing atmosphere that has been with us so much this season. Tne change is an agreeable one, especially as oom paied with last Thursdays high and humid heat, and which was, by general consent the most unoomfortab e day of the simmer.

L. R. Harris, a promoter and manager of carnivals and other agricultural horse trots, was in town today, with a proposition to organ'ze a carnival her*. Hie method is to make a local show as far as practicable and to hire independent attractions for the outside amusements.

He got first money in a S4OO race Wednesday and second money in a S3OO race Friday. Silk Rags, the Duvall horse, was out of luck this week. It began to rain in the only race he started and the race resolved itself into a mud splashing matoh, which was not Silky’s strong point. The Goodland Herald expresses the opinion that the Fountain Park Assembly, along with its great merits as a source of education and high class entertainment

is also a good money maker for the stockholders. To this latter expression the Remington Press re torts that there is,plenty of stock of the assembly association to be bought cheap, if any Goodland party wants to invest. All earthly troubles are not always ended for a man when he buys an automobile, except in cases where the dose proves fatel as sometimes happens. Thus Dr. Washburn’s new auto got to balking this afternoon, up about Surrey, and his companion, Louie Fendig, had to walk a oout a mtle to a telephone and send for Chas Chamberlain to come out and find what had gone cross-wise with the critter.

towards Indianapolis, and Wednesday they will double back on their track to Monticello.

Mr. Sayler did not know the name of the variety but they a*e plump, shapely, and rosy, like a young Irish lass, and have a family resemblance to the “Maggie Murpheys” Nelson Ducharme, of Barkley is raising. Four potatoes from this same field of Mr. Sayler’s are on exhibition st Loin’s drugstore. Their combined weight is just eight pounds.

An esteemed exchange hold* that a man of its town had the misfortune to fall and “fracture bis right limb,” but does not specify whether that limb is hia arm or his leg, assuming that he is possessed with a full outfit of both ■ those useful appendages of the complete human body. In our vocabulary an arm is an arm and a leg is a leg; whether on man or woman, horse or saw-hosse. and we have no sympathy with that mealey mouthed mook modesty which calls a leg only a "limb.** At least not in the public press* which should be the exemplars of . good horse sense in the use of tha I English language.

Persons contemplating going to, the northwest should see me be* fore going. Our next excursion leaves Chicago, Tuesday Sept, W. M.
