RAINJID IT! Ruined the County Pair.

NO PREMIUMS WILL BE PAID.

ONLY ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY EXPENSES.

The fair closed Saturday evening, a sad victim of a week of rain. Thursday Friday there was only a small attendance, but on the last day more than 2,000 people were on the grounds. A rain and a county fair are two opposite elements and of course the exhibition was not to compare with what it would have been had the week been favorable. The floral hall was by no means full, but what was there was worthy of attention and inspection. The Agricultural hall presented a much better appearance than might have been expected, considering the dry summer and the effects on the crops. The stock department was well represented horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. The display is said to be the best ever in the county; there was certainly tome very fine stock both from in and out of the county. Saturday afternoon races were very interesting. The trot,free-for-all, was entered by four horses. "Belle Harrison' a beautiful little black, driven by John Cole and owned by a man iu Morgan county, was successful. In the free-for-all-pace "Miller C". a slender gray, owned by Mr. Otterman, from Louisville, won first money, there being three other entries. A feature of the evening was a bicvele race in which Fred Shoemaker, Fred Shields and Tom Braxtan participated. Mr. Shields was successful ia two out f three rounds, making a third mile in one minute and twelve seconds. The probability is that no premiums of any kind will be paid. The board of directors meet this afternoon to decide this matter. The expenses of the fair, including improvements, Ac, can hardly be met by the receipts which are iu the neighborhood of $750. Had not the rain interfered, it is likely every premium would have been paid in full. The directors have done all possible to make the institution a success, such as it has been in the two years past, and only the weather has prevented. All the actual expenses will be paid in full. Secretary Wm. Seward states to the Tet ephon e that the total receipts of the fair will amount to about $750. On Thursday and Friday less than one-hundred dollars were taken in each day; on Saturday about $450. The $100 or more remaining was taken in on stall rents. He also states that the improvements and expenses of running the fair will amount to about the gross receipts, leaving not a cent with which to pay premiums. The amount of premiums to be paid will require a little more than $1,000. To borrow this amount is entirely out of the question, and he thinks rather than do this or to pro rate the premiums nothing should be paid. He was very much opposed to paying the premiums in the speed ring unless the others were paid also. It is stated, however, that the board has already passed a resolution to pay in full the premiums for the races on Saturday, which has already caused considerable kicking and will cause a good deal more if it is carried out, as all exhibitors are equal in this respect.

teach beyond the time they sought employment. Several teachers who applied under these circumstances were rejected, and appealed the ease to Superintendent Lafollexte. He decides that they are eligible to employment for a full school term, whether their license extends to the end of the of the term. A special from Michigan City, Ind., says : "harly this morning the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago round-houwe and machine shops were binned to the ground. The west wall fell in and also the roof. Two locomotives, one just rebuilt, were in the shop at the time and were de stroyed, besides $5,000 worth of new machinery recently placed in position. The loss amounts to $25,000. It is feared that the shops will not be rebuilt here, as this ia too far north for conTtnience. Monon wiil likely be the site for th new structure."

There are probably two hundred more holes in the ground where the prospectors struck it dry. Hon. D. W. Voorhees has been retained by the Board of Trustees f DePauw University to represent the interest of the institution in the case of Sarah Ellen DePauw against the executors, etc., under the will of the late W. C. DePauw. The celebrated divorce suit of Professor Ira G. Struuk vs. Myra S. Strunk will not be tried in theFloyd circuit court this term, as was expected. Strunk offers to abandon the charge of adultery if the custody of one of the little girls is given to him. The township trustees of Wabash county have received an important decision from State Superintendent Lafollette, that is of interest all over the State. A question arose recently about trustees employing school teachers who did not hold license to
