That report was started for fear McKeen Buchanan would make a raid on the city with a view of giving us a sample of his howling tragedy It was not enough to keep our people from attending the McKeen Rankin entertainment, however, when they learned that they were the best troupe that ever visited this city, not excepting John E. Owens.

A MUNIFICENT GIFT.—The Indianapolis Sentinel of this morning says that "the will of Mrs. Israel, an old citizeness whose sudde^demise was announced a few weeks ago, has been found at last. She bequeathed her estate to Rev. \V. W. Curry, of Terre." We feel assured that Mrs. Israel, who is reported very wealthy, could not have bestowed the munificent gift on a more worthy person than the Rev. W. W.. Curry, who is so well and favorably knowji in this city. We congratulate Mr. Curry on his good fortune, and Mrs. Israel on her good judgment and high appreciation of the services of a hard-working Christian gentleman.

THE CONCERT AT PARIS, last evening \ras a grand success, both musically and financially. Mullen & Redmon's commodious hall was crowded with the elite of the society of our beautiful little neighboring city. In fact the audience was an honor alike to the city and the distinguished young prima donna, who in turn honored them with her presence and harmonious melodies. She of course was the great attraction of the evening, as an evidence of j^hich she was encored time and again, until she had rendered ten choice selections, something never before the case in the Paris of Illinois. Miss Kellogg creates just such a fhrore wherever she appears, and we can but congratulate her in her accomplishment and congratulate the neighboring towns and cities when they are so. fortunate as to have an opportunity to hear her sing Prof. Kilbourne, her teacher, managed the concert in his usual splendid manner and made many friends. Sullivan will be favored next Friday evening.

Miss Marian Taylor, who closed her engagement with the Palmer Spectacular Troupe in this city, by reason of their premature demise, is in Cincinnati, filling an engagement with Lisa Weber's blondes, in the leg-itimate drama. She looks very much like Weber.

Ben. D. House, city and commercial editor of the Indiana Journal of Commerce, is the author of our excellent letters of special correspondence from the State Fair.

THE DRAMA.

"Rip Yan Winkle" Again.

Last evening the Rankin Comedy Company rendered Rip Van Winkle for the second

time

fair

during their engagement

in this city. Upon which occasion there was not so large an attendance as was the case the previous evening at the grand Opera House, though there was a

sized audience present, all of whom enjoyed the entertainment in the highest degree.

Mr. Rankin certainly acts much of the time fully as well as Joe Jefferson, though constant renditions of other characters places him at a great disadvantage with Mr. Jefferson, who makes a specialty of the character, and in which he appeared at Booth's Theater last season over one hundred consecutive evenings. As a "Dutchman," however, we believe Robt. McWade is better than either, though he at times is a little too extravagant. \Ve must admit that Mr. McWade's version of this interesting legend of the Catskills, is better than that of either Jefferson or Rankin, which are about the same. We think also that it is more truly the spirit of the legend. In Mr. McWade's version "Schneider" is introduced in the play, and in the scene where "Rip" awakens from his twenty years sleep, he observes "Schneider's" skeleton suspended from a tree which had grown from the small bush to which he had tied him, in the scene of his interview with the ghostly pirates of the legend. There is something about "that scene in keeping with the spirit of the evident imagination of the writer that strikes the beholders favorably, and" creates an impression that is lasting.

Mr. Rankin's impersonations of the character of Rip, did he devote his entire attention to it alone, would place it on a par with Mr. Jefferson, who is the more artistic and finished of the two.

DeGroat, in the character of Derrick, is the best we have ever seen, and we have no hesitancy in pronouncing him, in our judgment merely, one of the best comedians in his special roles that appears upon the American stage.

Miss Blanchard as Christina, plays her part well, though she has been seriously Indisposed for"'Several days.

Miss Kitty Mayhew, whatever character she personates, is a success of high order, and has made hosts of friends who will never forget her.

This evening "Long Strike" will be rendered, which piece m&ny of our people will remember as having been rendered by the Fannie Price troupe, last May. Don't fail to see the last appearance of the best troupe Terre Haute ever witnessed.

THE STATE FAIR.

Thirty-Eight Thousand Tickets Sold in One Day—Most Successful Fair ever Heldjn the State*

Rural Dames and Galvanic Batteries— The"LiKlit Fingered Gentry" Plying Their Vocation.

FIFTH DAY.

Owing to an evident misunderstanding between the Government signal officer at this station, and the clerk of the weather, shortly after dark last evening the mercury dropped down, and the wind came up with an uncomfortable suggestion of absent overcoats, to those compelled by force of circumstances to lay out in sheltered alleys and stairways during the night. As the approach of darkness compelled the pleasure seekers at the Fair Grounds to hunt for quarters, or turn homeward, the streets presented an appearance of life alod bustle, which was something of an indicator of the number in attendance at the grounds during the day the number of tickets aggregating thirty-eight thousand.

Notwithstanding this immense addition to the city's floating population, the town was remarkabiy free from disturbances, each one seeming intent on his or her amusement, in a peaceable way. We, however, witnessed an affair which severely shocked a lady from the rural districts, at the corner of Washington and Meridian streets, but which furnished considerable amusement to the general spectator. Led by her probable future lord, they approached a galvaaic battery nuisance, located at the point in question, where he gallantly deposited the requisite dime for a shock, indicating his desire that she should grasp the knobs, which she did, but failed to let go as readily, her contortions showing that the "machine" operated in a "way that she despised." She deemed herself sold, as upon her release there was a marked falling in the temperature of her feelings toward her attendant.

Having learned the lay 6f the land, the light-fingered gentry have been more successful in their transfer work during the past week, than earlier in the season, one party having lost one thousand dollars by the laxity of the ideas of the operator, in reference to the rights of property, and the square thing in the accumulation of the same.

Early this morning a skyward look was followed by an involuntary shiver, and premonitory "symptoms" of rain were apparent in every direction. About

P®g§

nine o'clock an ineffectual attempt was made to fullfil the promise of the clouds, but it proved a decided failure, a few drops being thrown out as skirmishers without being supported to the extent of conquering the dust, and although it was uncomfortably cool I do not think any one who had made up their minds to attend to-day was deterred from carrying out their intentions, consequently the scenes of yesterday to and at the grounds have been duplicated to-day with no subsiding in interest.

Owing to the constant moving of the vast crowd in attendance and the fact that the halls are constantly filled, it is impossible tp make anything like an accurate estimate of the number in attendance, even by comparison with the day before, but I do not think the number will fall much if any short of that of yesterday, while possibly it exceeds it.

To-day practically close the fair, although a race is announced for to-mor-row. At one o'clock P. M., the grand sweepstakes trot, open for all, took place for a premium of $300, which was followed by a sweeepstake's trot of double teams tor a premium of $100. About this, as usual,) the main interest seemed to centre, although the various attractions in other departments and classifications were by no means neglected by the general spectator. Taken altogether the fair has been unquestionably one of the most successful ever held in the State.

To-morrow's programme consists in the trot above referred to, the payment of cash premiums, settlement of claims, sale of stock, etc. But a majority of those in attendance will doubtless make their exodus to-night, and quiet will again reign in Warsaw.

Indianapolis has now enjoyed two weeks of fairs, uninterrupted save by the Sabbath, and will doubtless be content to await the "rolling of the seasons" for further demonstrations in this direction.

The immense show of the present year has demonstrated the fact, that the grounds now occupied by the^oard are not of sufficient extent for the purpose used, and either a change of location or an extending of borders must eventually come. Appropos of this: The Indianapolis Fair Association" offered the use of their more extensive grounds to the Board, in return for the accommodations extended them last year by the officers of the State Fair, which offer was de^ clined by Secretary Poole in such terms as to call out a reply from Secretary Loomis, which seems likely to result in the development of considerable acrimony between the officers of the rival associations, for Such they doubtless are, and so look upon each other.

The existing state of facts, however, gives the State Fair the inside track, the people considering it their fair, which itis, having more than a local interest. And feeling this, theyWill be slow to change their allegiance, although it cannot be denied that the exhibition of the local association was fully worthy of a large patronage, and that their grounds and accommodations have been finely adapted to the purpose for which purchased. Should these great State industrial exhibitions increase within the next five years in a ratio to correspond with that of the last five, it will be impossible that they be held in the space now under control of the Board. Every one interested in the development of the State's resources, agricultural and otherwise, has reason to be glad that the exhibition of '71 has left at its close such a record of success, for no thinking man will deny that much good results, as a natural consequence, from the spirit of rivalry and emulation brought into play by these exhibitions as a result of comparison and competition in all branches and classes of industry represented.

Before leaving the grounds this afternoon evidences of the rapidly approaching dissoli&tion of this year's fair were apparent, the tide of humanity having commenced to set homeward in a strong ebb, which will soon leave the grounds bare and the city io its normal condition. The proprietors of a majority of the booths upon the grounds evince by the grins of self-satisfaction which illuminate their countenances, that they have reaped a satisfactory harvest from the hunger and thirst of those in attendance, and qnly the showmen upon the outside of the grounds grumble, they having exhibited to poor business throughout the week, on account of their exclusion, and being upon the wrong side of the fence. The weed's summary is told in the one word—success.

I have not thought the matter of the awarding of premiums of sufficient general interest to warrant an attempt at mentioning any so long as the whole could not be given. It has been simply a fair, not differing from its predecessors in any material point, save in number of entries and those in attendance, merely an exaggeration in some points of your own local fair held a f£w weeks since, of which a minute description could not be given

Nevada Salt.

Nevada is capable of supplying the world jvith salt. It abounds in salt springs, salt marshes, salt mountains, and great plains where the evaporation^ of ages has left deposits of salt almost illimitable of extent. For mining purposes, the salt of these deposits requires only to be shoveled into sacks and transported to the place of use. For table and diary purposes, it is not quite equal to Eastern salt. It contains a slight pec cent, of impurity which would have to be removed by re-evaporation or some refining process to render it marketable for domestic use. Thistaay not be the case .with all the deposits of this character within the State, but applies to such of them as have been worked. Within fifty miles of Reno, and not more than one mile from the railroad, are some of the finest salt springs in the world. One gallon of water will evaporate three pounds of the best quality of salt ,,

Only two lives are actually known to have been lost, that of a Swede, named Connant, Kandiyohi county, and a man, name unknown, who started from the same county with a drove of cattle for Fort Garry, and was overtaken by the fire.

There is no means to ascertain the amount of damage, owing to the large tracts of country over which the fire has swept, and its inaccessible nature but it must be very heavy. Many small towna have been completely destroyed, and soltary farm-houses in the track of the fire have almost invariably been burned to the ground. The amount of suffering must necessarily be great, as many farmers have lost everything—homestead, live stock and crops—with along winter close upon them.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 5.—It is supposed that two more of the escaped Nevada convicts have been arrested at Los Angelos, and another was captured at Rockli, above Sacramento. It is now certain that Norton and Black, of the gang who murdered the express rider, Poor, were lynched by ranchmen, and that A. Jones, another of them was murdered by his companion.

NEW YORK, October 6.—U. S. Godbe, of Salt Lake City, one of the principal opposition leaders to Brigham Young's Theocracy, who is now in this city, has stated that the present crusade against Mormonism is not instigated by Methodism that polygamy will probably die out with the present elderly Mormons. Brigham Young is losiug prestige very fast, though there are no fears of his being assassinated. The people are held together by fanaticism, and on the death of Young, Mormonism will expire in Utah. It is a wealthy country, and before long its admission as a State will solve the
