The work of the small army of cnerp
workmen who are prcptirlng Nebras
thirtieth arnual fair for the InspectUn
the people of half a dozen states Is be
nlns to be perceptible. The huge w
buildings that have remained nllont
Icscrted for twelve months are veritable
lilvcs of Industry. Tholr vast expanse
lure walls Is concealed by draplngs ot w
cloth nnd bunting , nnd gradually thousc
of exhibits uro pouring In to monopolize
vacant space nnd indicate ; the proport
which the exposition will reach when al
complete.
Secretary Fnrnas IK now convinced
Ills expectation that there will be not
than 10,000 entries of exhibits will be
filled , They are coming In at a rate iinhi
of nt Nebraska State fairs and at a rate
threaten ? to swninii the force of clerks
secretaries who hnve the task of rccelv
tabulating and distributing them. Tlum
morning Secretary Furnas found It neccs :
to double the force In his olllce. Even I
they were behind with their work nt nl
and yesterday morning the entire force
again doubled. Before 10 o'clock the work
accumulated until ho was compelled to 1
Ills private secretary nnd his stenogra )
leave their regular duties to assist In
work , nnd even then the force wns
Hinnll to keep up with the demand for
tentlon.
Out In the other buildings the supe
tcndcnts and their assistants were cqu
liusy. Yesterday morning the real rush of
tries begun , and the head of each dep
mi1 ill was continually besieged by n cr
of exhibitors that would tax the capn
of a rcgulnrly organized bureau of Ihfor
tlon. And today thev will think that
tordny was u mere holiday. No mutter
much time Is provided for the arrangen
of exhibits , nothing can prevent the
Jorlty of exhibitors from waiting until
last available moment before bcglni
work. They want their exhibits to pro
the best possible appearance when the cr
comes , and so wait as long as posslbli
order to have them fresh and nttraci
Members of the board of managers arc n
Ing n tremendous effort to hurry up
laggards this year. It Is a positive o
that no entry will be received nfte
o'clock Saturday night. This is not a b
but the rule will be enforced to the lei
nnd any one who waits longer than
time will be left outside the gate.
L- | ARRANGING COUNTY EXHIBITS.
The work ou the county exhibits Is
grossing rapidly , and will probably be c
plctcd In better season than last year.
M. Leo of Oxford Is still superlntcmlcn
the building , and he says the show In
department will be a hummer. Not <
will there bo more material In the hall ,
the products shown will be of a much
perior grade , and the most artistic dlsj
ot last year will bo surpassed by a de
counties.
Shnwnce county , Kansas , Is putting
what promises to br ono of the best exhl
on the grounds. It has a. large apace wl
extends ncnrly half the length ot the bu
IiiK and this Is panelled complete v
nrtlstlc arrangements of grasses , seeds
grain , representing a variety or scenes ,
center piece Is a huge map of the Un
States In seeds and grasses , on which
1 six states which constitute the great e
belt of the country nre especially protnln
7ho Nebraska Ileet Sugar association
, also have an attractive exhibit.
The first exhibits for the textile departn
cnmo In yesterday morning. Naturally tl
nro arriving slowly , as the women who li
toiled for days nnd weeks to manufactui
elalnty bit of needlework embroidery
very anxious for fear their work she
become eoilcd before the fair opens.
The educational exhibit , which was in
Manufacturers' building lost year ,
occupy the entire southeast quarter of
textile building. The task ot arrani
the exhibit Is In charge of some ot the I
teachers , who expect to niflko n showing
In advance of that ot last year. Miss A
Illtte , supervisor of drawing. Is In ch :
ot the drawing exhibit , and John E. WIgi
of the High school Is superintending
exhibition ot the manual training dep
inent. The kindergarten work , which
bo one of the most Interesting features
the display. Is In charge of Mrs. Chlttem
Miss Alice Drake and Miss Ella Smith
C. F. Catlln ot this city is looking a
the art exhibit , which Is rapidly lining
building. Whether thu exhibit will be in
larger than last year Is doubtful , but so
the entries indicate that It will bo o
much higher order. A lot ot work of
Inferior grade that was shown last yeai
now replaced by really flue pictures ami
galleries will show a collection of :
works of art.
Down where the hogs and cattle re
there Is promise of a show that will fa
Btartlo the natives. Exhibits are iTl\
rapidly nnd the pens are gradually 1111
up with ait array of fine stock that '
discount anything over before niicn In
braska. The cattle exhibit will bo m
than good and the hogs will bo Immci
The horse exhibit will bo light. Mayor
A. Stewart of nialr has charge of that
partmcnt. as heretofore , and ho does
expect that It will ho much larger tl
last year. Bicycles and trolley cars h
n good deal to do with this. Thu he
market baa collapsed everywhere , and ,
the main object of the breeders In mak
exhibits Is to sell horses , they are ntitun
making less effort In that direction tl
they did a few years ago. The machln
department will be bigger than last yt
All the firms previously represented h
bUscr nnd better exhibits this year i
fcpaces have been token by n number of i
flrnis who made no exhibit last year.

everything Is being handled with wondei
facility.
The board of managers Inis about decli
to charge a small admission fee Sunday ,

the gates are supposed to bo closed ,
much In the way of urnnKcincni will rcm
to be done , and as people will go anyway

Colored lluiilliiK.
The work of decorating the city ID festl
colors IB going merrily on , and the strc
down town are beginning to assume a v
cay appearance. Nearly all of the busln
houses are decorating the fronts of tli
buildings , and a friendly rivalry Is upper
to eco which can make the most attract
display. The colors Ubcd arc almost Invai
bly the ones which have become so famll
to all , the well Known red , green and yell
of the Knights of Ak-Sar-llen , and the
signs lined are n numerous us the dcco
tlniiB. House * handling the material u
for decorative purposes on this occasion
port an enormous demand for new goo
while nearly everyone who decorated 1
year U .using the same material again , i
this uloue luUlcalts that the display \
lie much more extensive than It was Inat
year.
The work of placing In position the
and Incandescent lights on the streets
nearly completed , nnd will be finished
tonight , when a test will be made
see If they arc In proper order. Tl
lights will Illuminate thirty-two black ;
streets , six blocks more than were lll\
natcd last year. In addition to these tl
will bo a number of are llghls dlatrlbi
at wider Intervals along the streets wl
the several parades will form In ordei
do away with the difficulty experienced
year In getting the parades arranged In
dark. The line of march from the cm
of Webster and Sixteenth streets will
brilliantly lighted. It was thought hcs
Illuminate only the streets along which
parades would pass , so that the people w <
not be misled ! and congregate along
blocks where none of the parades we
pans , as would be the case If all the sir
In the center of town were Illuminated.
The parades will form on Izard sir
the same as last year , and will proceed sc
on Sixteenth street as far as Douglas , wl
they will turn to the cast and RO as fai
Ninth street. Crossing from Douglas
Karnatn on Ninth , the parades will i

Judge Powell yesterday dissolved the t
porary restraining order directed teState
State Fair managers and sued out by \
Ham A. Gordon. Gordon sought to
strain the managers from Interfering v
him In hauling goods from cars on the sh
to the grounds , 'he contract for the w
having been let to the Merchants' cxpr
Nn testimony was taken , the only i
cowlings being statements by the attorr
of both sides of the case , Judge Powell sal
was not necessary to Introduce any evlde
ot make any extended arguments , as tl
was little dispute as to the facts.
In passing upon the case the Judge i
It did not appear that any exhibitor
complained of Ill-treatment , but on the <
trary. It seemed to be established that
state fair board had Invited 'ilds for de
the hauling and had let the work to
lowest bidder , thu plaintiff In the case
bar being one of the unsuccessful hldd
According to the statements eif the attor
for the board , which were not disputed
the other side , the judge said It appe :
that the hoard had taken this action
the purpose of protecting exhibitors f
extortion.
"If nn exhibitor had complained that
was prevented from employing any team
he saw fit or from using any means he ch <
for getting his exhibit on the grounds , " i
the Judge , "I would probably have 1
differently. I believe that the State
board has the right to make all nocess
and reasonable regulations for the prc
ronduet of the fair , the time exhibits si
bo In place , the amount of space each s
occupy , etc. , but the board cannot Invlt
mun to make an exhibit and assign lili
place and then compel him to hire
particular man to do his hauling , hut tl
Is no exhibitor complaining anrt there Is
allegation of extortionate charges ,
board has the right to recommend any
pressman , but It cannot compel an cxhlb
to hire him , nor can It prevent him fi
hiring whom ho pl'-ascs to haul his goods
The fair management states It has
desire In the matter except to protect
hlbltors from extortion and to make s
the cars are unloaded promptly whcnc
they arc switched onto the fair grou
tracks. It states the contract price v
the Merchants' Express Is less than
work has ever been done for before.

The county commissioners met In execu
live session yesterday morning for the pur
pose of considering evidence taken at the pee
farm Tuesday of this week during the In
vcstlgatlon ot the affairs of that Institution
The session was a long and rather turbulcn
ono , being a continuation of a session heli
Thursday afternoon. There was consider
able difference of opinion among the mem
hers of the board as to what should b
done. There was only ono point on whlcl
they nil ngrecd and that wns that then
should he a cleaning out ot the employes o
the Institution , but nt the very next ste ]
there was a general disagreement. Thi
dllllculty was to decide where the axe shouh
fall. One of the commissioners ndvocatei
a wholesale dismissal and putting in ai
entire new force ot people. Ho became ver ;
much excited because his views did no
meet with approval from any ot the othe
members and his voice was raised in i
manner which attracted attention from othe
quarters of the building.
After n long session nnd a great deal o
discussion a report was agreed on nnd wai
drawn up and signed by nil of the members
This report will bo made public at the meet
Ing of the board this morning. All o
the members refused to discuss the mattci
with outsiders or to Indicate the nature o
the report. It Is predicted , however , thai
the report will provide that the matron am
the doctor of the Institution shall be re
moved forthwith , nnd the spirit of insubordt
nation which has existed among ( some of tin
employes and Inmates v/lll receive n scoring
that will probably have a beneficial effect
The report will also undoubtedly rcconimom
a number of changes In the manner of con-
iluctlng the Institution , such as a separate
dining room for Insane women , and othei
minor details.
Late yesterday afternoon Matron Howell
handed In her resignation to the hoard , bul
as it was after the session had adjourned
no action could bo taken on It.

conclusively that a municipal electric llght-
IIK plant may be so operated us to ut oncu
'fflclently illuminate the city's highways

fair political barometer.
Ever since the war It has been notc (
that whenever the republican majority li
Vermont rises above 25,000 In the Septem
her election during n presidential canvass
the republicans Invariably win In Novem
her ; nnd whenever the republican majorltj
falls below 25.000 the republicans Invnrl
nbly lose. Hero are the statistics of Ver
