Bloomington , Ind., Aug. 27, '95Dear Friends: As President of the Monroe County Agricultural, Live Stock and Driving Association it is my desire that the services and influence of all of The county's representative citizens be enlisted for the success " of the Big Bloomington Pair, that will be held September 24, 25, 26, 27 & 28. Knowing that you are interested-iji all that goes to increase the pleasure and profit of the people of Monroe county, I write you, freely, on this subject, believing that you will readily volunteer to aid the Fair, which already promises to be the Biggest and Beat ever held in this section of Indiana. Your influence and enthusiasm will be of greatest value to the Association. It is wonderful the amount of good one person can do
in an undertaking of this kind.This
result can be accomplished without
he loss of much time by talking
witn one's neishbors and friends
and getting them interested in this
which is of greatest importance to
all. Reports from various parts of
the county indicate that the at
tendance this year will be enormous With our increased facilities
we can conveniently make it pleas
ant for all who come. We want
them here by the thousands, and you can greatly aid in bringing about this result. The attractions this year are so numerous that every one will be deeply interested. The management ias provided specialties for people of all ages and tastes. In the hret place numerous improvements have been made, making tt e grounds an ideal place fur a Fair. The entrance will be on the East side, where the Association will have the advantage of a ten-thou-
. sand dollar brick building to be us
ed for Fair purposes. This, in ad
dition to numerous other buildings,
to be used as offices, etc. will be a decided advantage over former years. Two of the finest horse barns in the state have been finished, and waterworks have been put in all parts of the grounds. With the best half-mile track in the state and with all the conveniences of last year still retained, and Hfae added improvements of this year, we have Fair Grounds that are the pride of all who see them. The Premium List for the Fair is a book of one hundred and three page one of the largest and best
aver nublished. and it is full of
valuable information. From its pages one will learn of the special attractions that will furnish interest for the Men, the Women and the Children. Examine the differ
ent departments. See the articles
concerning "Speed Programme,"' "Horses," "Cattle," "Sheep," "Hogs," "Poultry," "Horticultural and Agricultural," and "Mechanical." The Preminums in each of
these departments- are large, and the entries will be numerous. At great expense the large brick building on the East side has been
re arranged and repainted, and its
twenty rooms, and their contents will be the special delight of the ladies. Here will be the "Floral Hall," "Art Exhibits," "Table Luxuries," "Children's Department," and other exhibits.

Senator W. E. McCord of Martins
ville, and who is well known in Monroe county, had a narrow es
cape from death in theviumy hotel
that was wrecked by an explosion. The Denver Republican says:

He had been stopping at the hotel for several days, occupying ruoni
No. 20. Sunday afternoon he went
out to visit William Alexander on
Pearl street, and accented an
inviiation to spend the night. His room was in the wrecked nortion.

We could thus continue indefinite

Bloomington Fair will be the best
county Fair in Indiana, ine management knows no such word
as fail, and with the enthusiastic help of every citizen the attend
ance will be surprisingly large, and
the success of the Fair decidedly satisfactory to all. We want the Men, the Women, and the Children to talk up the Big Fair, until Sept. 24, and then we want every body to attend. All the industries and the productions of the city and
country as well as those of other

Other counties will send large dele
gations, and they will be royally
received by Monroe county's hospi
table people The Fair will soon be here, and
we confidently count upon your enthusiastic support in making
this the Biggest and the Beet Coun

Ernest O. Holland will leave
this week for Indianapolis and An
derson, and from there will go to
Rensselaer where he will teach
latin and English in the High
school. In the examination for
license he secured a grade for
three years certificate, but never
having taught, the law did not permit the granting of a certificate for
longer than twelve months.
The gentleman who accompanied the remains of Nathan Owen from
Poplar Bluff, Mo., to Salem in
formed his friends from this city
who attended the funeral, that the dead man was found about three miles from Poplar Bluff near the railroad, with his head crushed and cut. It was ' supposed that he either fell from a moving train, or was knocked off by some one.
For more tljan a year some pretty bold men have been fearlessly making and passing counterfeit dollars in this county. The
and i secret service officers nave claim
ed all along that somewhere down in the hills of Polk and Salt Creek townships, this spurious coin was bcinsr manufactured, but they
failed to designate the exact loca
tion, or den, of the counterfeiters.
Recent' developments have dis
closed the hiding place of molds
and dies also other material used in the manufacture of this bogus
money, thus proving that Major
Carter's men were hot on the
right trail. Capt. Carter has had
numbers of his secret service
force down in the suspected neighborhood and it is largely
due to his efforts that the business
was stopped. It will be remem
bered by The World-Courier
readers that one of the suspected
parties was before U. S. Com
missioner McPheeters some weeks ago charged with having and passing counterfeit dollars on
J. B. Clark, Walter C. Lindley,
and other parties. After hearing
the evidence the accused was bound over to the Federal Grand
jury. He gave Dona ana was
given his liberty. The prosecuting witness in the trial was William Wagner, a blacksmith, who until recently lived in Salt Creek
township, but now resides in Gos-
port. He seemed very positive in his statement of the matter and in general about the counterfeiting that had been going on in this county. Major Carter was here in person to assist in the prosecution and displayed about sixty of these counterfeit dollars, which he had confiscated. The accused young man has since written to Major
Carter at Indianapolis that he can find the molds and dies used in
its manufacture under the flooring
of an old blacksmith shop; where
they have been secreted for some
time. Major Carter will be. here
today or tomorrow and go out to the scene for the purpose of obtaining possession of the entire outfit. It is understood that Wagner has given Major Carter some very damaging evidence and as a result the secret service detective is very much elated. His men were drawing the net close and the suspected parties saw

There is a difference of opinion among the physicians in regard to the diphtheria question in this city. Three of those interviewed yesterday stated that there is diphtheria here, and the remainder stated that the disease referred to was tonsilitis.
