The lands nro within two inllos of thu postolllcu and nro almost within the cltv limits. In fac.t , land lying farther west from the city limits already commands ready .snlu as town lots.

It is morally certain that If they wcro owned today hy any private citi/en of Lincoln they coul-l not bo purcnased for less than tlio nhovi ) llgnrcs. They are right up ngalnst the second city of the state and are vulmiuln fur manufacturing sites , etc. , oven if not , for residence purposes. They nrocon- slilercil IIB vali'ahlu lo the city of Lincoln ns the Knst Omaha hinds are to the city of Omaha. Railroad and terminal facilities have already been supplied , and thuro U every advantage at hand for the upbuilding of a lively manufacturing suburb. It is claimed by Interested parties In Lin coln that the lands are absolutely worthless for agricultural purposes , and that therefore tlio slate ought to ho satlslleil with a low ap i praisement for the bonellt of anybody that nooks to take them off the stalu's hands. This argument has already been advanced by the organ of the men who have sought ; Mlo K ain possession of these valuable lands at a inoro nominal pjlco. Tlio Lincoln newspapers - papers have earofully neglected to give the ridiculously low figures placed on the lands by thn appraisers , for the more publication of the awards of the county commissioners would excite a sinilo of contempt from every citizen of Iho state. 'I'linrii Muv Ho a Hltnli Yot. As Iho law stands at present there can bo no competition In the sale of t-heso lands. They have long since been leased to private parties. All that these parties have to do In order to comply with the law is to apply for the appraisement of the lands they nl- raady hold hy virtue of their leases and , when the lauds have been appraised by the county commissioners , pay thu amount of the appraisement into the state treasury and exchange their lease for a deed. Thuro may bo no means of provcnling the nnlu of ilieio valuable lands at the ridicu ! lously low figures ulaced upon ilium by the commissioners of Lancaster county unless Oovernor C'rminsu or Commissioner Humph rey refuse to sign the deeds. The governor has repeatedly expressed hiin- nelf to TIIK BlK ! on the subject anil ho IB emphatic in his statements that unless the state receives a fair valua tion for the lands ho will not sign n deed. Land Commissioner id.r Humphrey has or- > pressed himself to the same offect. Coin- luisslouor Humphrey said today that iiino deeds had been signed yet and that none wore llkoly to ba prepared for seine time. Thu Doaril of Public Lauds and Buildings bus Informally resolved to ask the attorney general fora written opinion as to the valid ity of the law.

"Omaha daj' " has received a black eye from the Iowa roads through Chairman Cahhvcll of tlm Western Passenger association , who states that lower rates than at present in loroo are not likely to tw made. The general passenger agents , barring Mr. Lonmx , in Omaha were outspoken in opposi r.I tion to the scheme , particularly ns it coupled a lot of school children with the proposition , and those the railroads were averse to handling for love or money on the ground that the rislc was too great. Chairman CalilweU's letter to the committee - mittoo appointed to secure a rate for Omaha day states that the majority or the roads were in favor of allowing rates to remain as at presunt , and close the fair on these lines instead of stirring up endless atrifo by mak ing an exception for Omaha. Mr. Charles Kennedy of the Hock Island remarked that be was pleased that the chimerical scheme had fallen through , as ho had doubted its IOy practicability from the very beginning. Mr. Lomax on the other hand regretted that a favorable rate could not bo made , not so much on account of Omaha day , but on the general principle that the rate is too high. Mr. Loniax contended that if he was permitted to ninko a cent a tnilo rate from Nebraska and Kansas points to the World's fair he would land 5,000 , people at Chicago ! ? within n week that now had no Intention of of going. Ho stated he believed the rate too high and was in furor of coauh excur sions. "It will not surprise in mo the least to see ono or other of the roads running to Chi cage putting on coach excursions , Just nito wind up the whole business in a hlazo of light. So far as I am concerned no ono will bo happier than I over the close of the fair. It has unsettled every thine and involved ir.us all in broils and dissensions which , are al- ways to bo regretted. " "Why doesn't your road run n coauh excur sion ? " asked the reporter. "Because wo are Involved in too many lights as it is. If wo wore situated differ ently I should think urn seriously of breaking away and going into the light for business. Hut conditions are not favorable. " Southern I'ttclllo .Vhikni IU Cut.

That Nebraska is gaining a reputation for Its vast resources ami Industries is more fully exemplified with cacti recurring sta.o fair. For Instance , at the present fair Mr. S. C. Burllnglm Introduces a now branch that has hitherto never been represented by privalo individuals. 11 is a llsh industry , and was originated about a year ago by Mr. Biirllnglm . . , at his home in Suward , Neb. , llio llsh point , covering several acres of ground , , being located just cast of that prosperous litllo city. Hero the llsh are nurtured by sweet , fresh springs , and these , together with special kinds ot food , which Is con stantly kept on hand and for sale , cnublo the various species of the finny tribe to llvo In luxury and prosper most wonderfully. It demonstrates that Nebraslta Is pro ductive of good lish , and Ihu fact that nil the fancy and finer grades can now bo bought within our own stale should give our citi/.ons pride to patroni/.o this now homo industry in preference to ordering from abroad. The exhibit covers quite a space in floral hall , the various pretty globes , hanging up right , and other styles of aquariums , tilled with various kinds of llsh , attracting every ono's attention. Among thodllTerent kinds of llsh shown are Japanese in both double and fautail , pearl llsh. silver lish , gold fish , black- bass , channel and succklod eatlish , Gorman and sealed carp , olc. Aside from a full llnu of fancy llsli , Mr. Burlingim handles all kinds of the best and most approved llsh lood ana all kinds of fishery'supplies.

One of the most Interesting exhibits at the homo industrial portion of tlio state fair was the showing made by the McKlhinoy Manu facturing company of Nebraska City. Most prominent in their display was something now in llowor pots. It Is known ns the patent reservoir flower pot and is the only pot that does not leak or make a damp place where it stands. It is made in various si/.cs , of heavy ornamented inolnl , n reservoir at the base holding the water.which is supplied to Ihe plant as is required , thereby saving time and avoiding the dirt generally attend ing watering of flowers and house plants. It Is claimed that these pots are superior to earthenware , the plants obtaining a hotter crowlh and presenting n handsomer appear ance. This company also shows something of decided lulerest in the way of bed castors. The patent Insulating bed castor is a novelty that will meat with big demand , and justly so , for In its use lightning can never effect a bedstead , the rollers made of glass being a nonconductor of electricity. They cannot wear out.for , unlike other castors , they are propelled in the socket , the nxlo being sta tionary to the roller. This castor can bo attached to any bed and has n patent spring socket , which prevents it from falling out when the tieuslead is lifted. Another portion of the display showed a line of cob pipes and ciirar holders , which , for variety and uniqueness , stand superior lo anything heretofore shown. The Mc- lOlhinoy company makes llfteen varilies , among them a new patented pipe that is guaranteed lire proof and will not burn out. ' ' 'I'licso goods are finished in excellent man- nor. and are a creillt to Nebraska industry Mr. B. H. Noolting , president and secre tary of llio company , has been on the grounds all week , and has done much tu enlighten the tnnssos on the superior class of goods made by his factory. No merchant In Nebraska should bo without this com pany's superior make ofoh pipes. While thuir pipes nro of u hotter make nud far handsomer in finish , yet they quote prices lower than all competitors , and tlio jobbing trade will llnd it to their advantage , both as to amount of profits and satisfaction given . their trade , to look into this matter and send for samples. -V Notable llomn Industry , The Morso-Coo Shoo company of Omaha has certainly made a good and lasting im pression upon all visitors , their uoautiful corner exhibit in thu center of homo in dustry building being ono of the most at tractive on the grounds. Several largo show cases contain a line of footwear that , for atlractivenoss , liiiish and style , cannot bo excelled anywhero. All Nebraska should bo proud of this establishment , the only shoo factory In Nebraska , an-1 thu largest Industry of its idnd west of Chicago. Three of thu ' company's homo ropreseta- tlves , Messrs. W. L. Kistman. W. C. Pat- lerson and W. II. Brown , are entertaining the masses , showing up the goods and ex plaining thmr every feature and various qualifications worthy of liberal sup port of all loyal Nubratikaus. Ami why not call lor Omaha shoes ? Are they not madu In Nebraska , by Nebraskans and for Nohraskansf Tlioy are in every respect fully the equal of the llncst caslurn-inadn footwear , and nil thlnus being equal , the preference should cor- lainly bo given honip-inadn goods. It keeps Nebraska labor at work , keeps homo money at homo to do doublu service , and , consequently quently , aids to build up the great statu of Nebraska , instead of enriching easterners with our money. The products of tbu Morso-Coo Shoo com pany may bo found In all our cities , and con sumers will bo assisllng tlio grand work of building up Nobrask.i by asking fur them. Dealers can buy Ibis line of shoes as uheap UK any easlern goods , save freight , ordur In small quantities and maku larger profits. Onmltu at tlu > llciid A a n , The Omaha Huslnoss college , F. F. Moose , president , was awarded thu majority of lirst premiums for professional pen manship at thu stalu fair. Its dis play was pronounced by llio visitors as llio llncst on llio grounds. Students aru enrolling In this progressive colli-gu from all over the west , it has just moved Into elegant - gant now quarters , corner Flftcuiuh and Fnrnnm , where visitors are cordially wel- Crete nurseries make their usual display of fruit trees , sliudo trees and ornamental stock.

The Yntes Findings company , the new Lincoln Jobtilng homo In leather , shoo llnd- Ings and shoe store supplies , have n novel manner of Introducing themselves to the trade of the state by having a mlnntuto Fer ris wheel in full operation , decorated with a variety of goods representing llio'r ' line. Thu wheel , which Is teji feotln height ( UUP- twenty-fifth size of the original ) Is propelled by electric power , ami1 attracts no end of at tention. Shoo deaora | and shoemakers should not fall to correspond with tliU now house , which Is located'In ' Lincoln , and offers exceptional InduconiMits for Nebraska and western trade In general. An Intpcrttlii ; IMnrntlnnal lll ] iln.v. Ill the north wing of Mercantile hall Is n neat and very attractive showing made bv Nebraska's most prominent educational In stitution , viz : The Western Normal college. A taking feature are the character sketches made by two artists of the college , which furnish both instructive and intcr- csling entertainment. A .lapaneso student also present showed remarkable skill In adding columns of figures as rapidly as could bo read lo him. The Western Normal opened its second year's existence in Lincoln last week with a large Increase of attendants - ants over the Initial opening. At thu I nlr UroitiuU , The showing made by the manufacturers of the state Is regarded by all visitors ns ono of the loading features of the state fair. Thu exhibit made by the Consolidated Coffee - fee company of Omaha Is especially note worthy , nmi comes In for no small amount of praise. The fact thai they have boon serv ing hot eoffro free of charge to thirsty visitors may have had much to do with the popularity of their exhibit. P.EARY AND THE POLE.
