POULTRY BUILDING ••.•••?'• •••r:' ; .1 ; .'• • „-•• # WILL BE AN ORNAMENT TO THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS. It Will be Faliy ITp to the *teqntrement« of ' This Indufiry in aU Appointments. The work of preparation for the Illi­ nois State Fair, Springfield, Sept. 27- Oct. 2,1897, is progressing very satis­ factorily, and already the premium lists have been distributed to exhibitors in twenty-two states of the Union. The im­ provement of the magnificent permanent Pair grounds goes on steadily year by year, and each Fair lias superior facilities and new beauties to offer over its prede­ cessors. Among the new buildiDgs to be crected this year is a splendid structure for the accommodation! of the poultry , exhibit, which has now grown to dimen­ sions which some years ago would have been deemed impossible. The new poul­ try building will cover 90 x 160 feet and it will be in keeping with the grand style of architecture and construction of the other magnificent buildings; already on the grounds. „ • The materials used will lie pressed brick for the main structure, stone tor the foundation, and steel trusses with slate covering for the roof. The building will be located south of the barps and facing "Happy Hollow," and will present an imposing appearance. All op the ap­ pointments will be of the most modern character with the latest style of coops for the accommodation of the prize birds, electric ventilating ians, electric lights, lavatories, and offices fitted up in the most elegant style.., The basement will be so arranged as to afford abundant room for the storage of shipping coops, boxes and other material which usually present so unsightly an appearance piled up about the Fair grounds. Hydrants and hose for the proper cleansing of coops before reshipping will be conven­ iently placed. : The Board of Agriculture appreciate? the grand exhibits made by poultry rais­ ers in the past, and has determined thai the accommodations for this department shall not be excelled by any other. Ap­ plication has already been made by 8 Chicago pet stock fancier to have a large cage placed in this building in which he can exhibit parrots, monkeys and other rare pets. The Board expects ever? chicken fancier in the West to make an exhibit at the coming State Fair, and that the aggregated exhibit will break all records. The growing interest in the poultry in­ dustry, immense investments in the buBi ness, and the constantly increasing de mand for this class of product have become of incalculable importance in the prosperity of the country, and the en­ couragement of this branch of the live stock industry is imperative. A little figuring at odd times with a lead pencil on the consumption of poultry and eggs will astonish any uninitiated person who will try it for a few minutes. The Illinoip State Board of Agriculture has figured and is fully aware of the needs of the times. O W E N » WEDNESDAY. AUG. 18, 1897, F5%0F® ADOLLFR.

A gold mine has been discovered in Kentucky from which the ore ndw mined runs over $60 to the ton. Ten dollars a ton covers the Expense of min­ ing; the vein is an inch and a quarter thick and is found in white granite. I®" Silver bullion keeps going down in price, the Mexican dollar how being worth but 48 cents. The amount of silver thrown upon the markets of the world is unusually large, and the inexor­ able lac? of supply and demand does the rest in making the price. lefButter was a scarce commodity on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday, the total offerings being but 15,780 lbs, equivalent to 263 tubs, Part of this was offered packed in Australian boxes of 56 lbs each. Bids of 16@18%c were promptly placed on all butter offered " Sixty-one tubs sold at 16J{c.

He has kept, every pledge made by his party or him­ self. Upon all the questions of public policy concerning which the psople are most interested, President McKinley has met every expectation of those who pre­ ferred his election. WTit is too bad for the calamity howlers that things havn't gone wrong The party has lived up to its pledges, and the settlement of the tariff has given a tone to business and a feeling of cer­ tainty to business men. Confidence is restored and we are on the up grade Money that has be idle will now be put out, and I expect to see new enterprises start and prosper. I expect the situation will steadily get better and better from this on.--Sena tor Cullom. Lord High Chamberlain Palmer of the suite of her royal majesty Lililuo- kalani, one-time Queen of the Hawaiian tribesmen, has announced that really and truly he has no idea what her majesty will do next. This is very die- appointing when an anxious world is hanging by the ears of expectancy to learn what move her royal duskiness now proposes, since President McKinley shook the tips of her ebon fingers, and Wished her fatness a very goo3 morning as he departed for his vacation--with never a word of comfort for the ittpe- cunous sovereign without a country. HaT-There is a cry fiom Kansas for workers to gather the bountiful harvests So great is the demand for labor and so short is the supply that the women have taken to the fields. It is not surprising. Kansas has done her best of late yearp to drive out of the state every interest conservative of honest labor, hence it is no wonder that the»e is a shortage now, when it is most wanted. By the way, what is the matter of Mary Ellen Lease putting in her sickle and helping gather in the ripening heads of wheat? If Mary can reap as well as she can roar she will be worth a dozen men in the field. I®" The Chicago papers are spending columns of energy upon the career of a man named Bates, sometimes Gates, who made eight different women happy by marrying them. Not only that, he un­ dertook to maintain two household es­ tablishments within a circumscribed radius, upon a salary of $60 a month, and seemed to be getting along fairly •. well when detected. The puzzling part of the affair is that Bates or Gates, who is not at all good looking or attractive, could inveigle so many of the fair sex in­ to matrimony, when it tasks the ordi­ nary man to get one good wife, and makes him hustle around right lively to supply evein a moiety of her manifold wants.
