The announcement that the famoui pacing
ostrich , W W I' . , would Rive an exhibi
tion on tfio track atti acted a number of
people to the grandstand about 4 o'clock
The ( loot-footed bird from Colorado did not
como onto the track without Bhowlus slgin
of reluctance. A crowd had gathered about
the entrance gate nnd the sight of so many
people seemed to bother the pacer soinc-
what. Once on the track liowcxcr. It ga > o ,
a. very creditable exhibition. Paced by n
bicycle rider It covered an olshtli of a mlle
In pretty good time. At times It would
break , despite the best efforts of the driver
to guard ngalnst It , and when It signified 111
intention of turning around and going the
other way , the driver ( iiilctly nciniloicoil.
Manager Dlnamore attended the trlnl for tha
fcoard of managers , and nftei ward expressed
himself ns well pleased with the exhibition
The exhibitions that will be given each
day will bo In front of the grandstand , so
thnt all the spectators may follow the speedy
bird , nnd , Hi order not to procs It bejoud
the distance for which It has been trained.
The sight of nn ostrich harntsacd to n
sulky nnd driven by a racing man Is a novel
one , and will no doubt prove n drawing
card for the track On Tuesday evening
the bird will attend the scivices of the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Hen at the Castle , whcro
it will bo formally Initiated Into the mjs-
tcrles of the order After It has received
the badge of the knights , It will bo allowed
to appear In all the parades of the week.
It will bo In the parade of Wednesday night ,
and may possibly appear at other times.
nnucuLus HAS A KALL.
The Knights of Ak-Sar-Ilen have been
suddenly plunged Into sorrow They fear
that one of the greatest attractions , cer
tainly the grcatest so far as mere dimensions
nro concerned , that they had expected to
appear In their parade of Thursday ovenlns
will be missing One of the floats calls fern
n Hercules to guldu It safely through the
route outlined foi It Kver since the knights
determined on the float requiring a leadoi
of mammoth proportions they have had spies
out scouring the country , hunting for a
man to fill the bill. A short time ago they
found him In Chicago.
His name Is John II. IJalrd nnd ho Is the
traveling representative of a wholesale house
In Chicago. When told that ho was \vantel
In Omaha during this week and shown the
warrant for hla capture duly signed uy Sam
son II , ho told his captors thiit ! HTO WMS
no place to which ho would rather come. lie
ls\n Hercules Indeed. When ho has on his
boots ho stands nearly seven feet tall and
weighs 275 pounds avoirdupois. Ho has boon
In the city for the past few days , having
come here early In order to make himself
familiar with all the details of his position
A few dajB ago while limbering up on n
bicycle ho slipped and fell. The result of
his fall was a badly wrenched knee. The
knights have since then been ottering up
special prnyeri for his Immediate iccovcry ,
as they do not know of any one to fill his
place should he bo unable to take part In
the grand pageant. Last night Dr. Hnn-
chett said the Hercules' knee was secure
in a plaster cast and ho hoped that his big.
Jovial patient would bo all right by the tlmo

The police report the crowd of tough char

to a state fair very small up to date. This
Is duo to the fact that wherever a stranger
Is encountered who cannot give a good ac

Jailed.
A large number of "blind baggage tour
ists , " commonly known na tramps , arrived
In the ; clty yesterday afternoon , but In
nearly every case got off the trains outside
of the city limits Two or three of the
smooth-tongued variety of sharps attempted
to ply their vocation at the union depot
yesterday , but were frustrated In theli ef
forts by the depot police , who have b < vn re
inforced by two extra men who will serve
In citizens' clothing during the week The
only loss by theft so fai reported at the de
pot was an overcoat valued at $20 , taken
from the Hock Island train ycstoiday. The
coat was the property of B M Powers who
was en route to Minneapolis. It was taken
from his scat while ho left the car to post
a letter.

There are thousands of visitors coming lo
Omaha during Iho presenl week , nol alone
lo see thu attracllvo exhibits of the thlr
tlolh annual state fair , but to feast their
pyos upon the splendid street pageants thai
have been arranged for three successive
evenings of the week. The shows that will
pass In the night will be the most brilliant ,
If not Ihe grealesl fealure of state fair
week. The small boy and his sister , who
delight in any form of Die passing show ,
will not bo the only ones pleased with these
parades , for the latler have been nranged
with a view of advertising Nebraska's
sources and educating the people concerning

Ihe eye. The Indlcallons are llial Iho pa

crows that ever thronged the slrecls of
Omaha , and 11 Is nn assured fact that Iho
people will see Iho flnesl pageants thai

There will nol be so many parades as lasl
year , but the tone of the parades will be
considerably higher. It is tiuallty and not
quantity thai the commltlecs on parades
arc looking afler so carefully Ihls season
U will bo a hypercritical person Indeed who
criticizes the management of the parades
because but three of these pageants have
been arranged. When one sees the grandeur
of UIPSO demonslraltons he vvill doublless
wish for more , bul if ho Is a considerate
man he will realize thai bul llllle else that

CKOWNINO EVENT OK THE WEEK.
Thi ) ciovvnlng event of the week , at least
o far of the street pageants are concerned ,
will bo the procession of the elaborate lloaU
liicpaird by the Knights of AkiSar-Den.
OmBLit nnd her gucU ttlll remember the
pplendlJ epcctuclo that was presented by
these defender * of the city's title one year
nga. All may be assuicJ that the tableaux
that will move tbiough the -EtiteU of the
city on next 'JkurjJay ttv ulu will be
grander and more elaborate In every respect
than those presented to an admiring popu
lace last year.
The organlration that spreads this fens
tor the eyes Is ono peculiar to Ornahn , ane
one In which the city takes no little pride
So representative of nil thai Is good am
nobfe and progressive In Omaha Is 11 llml
The Dee has had Its offlcl.il leader Inter
viewed concerning his wondrous order. To
the timid reporter Samson In reassuring
tones unfolded the following talc :
"It Is now over 350 years slnco the flrsl
visit of the Ancient Order of the Knights of
AK-Sar-Bcn lo Qulvera , now known as Ne
braska U was during Ihe reign of iho
mighty king , Talarrax , In the year 1510 ,
thai Iho Knights of Ak-Sir-Ben set out from
Mcxlcil In quesl of Iho Seven Clllca ot Cl-
bola , In Ihe kingdom ot Qulvera They en
tered the land for which they were In
search , where now are the southern bounda
ries of the subdivisions called Ongo and
Furnas and found It full of Interest , and
containing fabulous wealth This , I will remind
mind his majesty's subjects , was eighty
years before Ihe landing ot Iho pilgrims at
Plymouth Hock , sixty-eight years before the
discovery ot Iho Hudson , slxly six years be
fore John Smith sailed up Iho river which
beats Ihe name of James I of England , twcn-
ly-thrco years before the birth of Shake
spcarc , Queen Elizabeth was a little girl ,
and Ihe thrones of Spain and Germany were
occupied by Charles V.
FINDING OF A SWORD.
"Thorp arc many things of which I cannot
Epeak now , but which will be made clear
during the rcast of Olympla , which his
majesty has by royal proclamation ordered.
For the present sunico lo say that though
they soon returned home , the Knights of
Ak-Sar-llen left many evidences of their
northern journey. I3ut a short lime ago ,
aboul one day's Journey , or , as measured
now , lltlrly-five miles , northward fiom the
lown of Ihe JlcCookltcs , was found a sword
nnd other relics.
"Of Father Padllla , who accompanied the
knights to the kingdom of Qulvera but did
not letuin with them , many traces are also
found. He was a Franciscan friar , called
John of Padllla , and when Iho knights again
tinned their faces southward ho declared
his Intenllon of remaining and leaching Ihe
natives the doctrine of Christ In a humane
manner. He did so , and devoted his life to
teaching and endeavoring to help those who
then Inhabited this fair province , llul hln
devotion and sclf-sacrlflco were rewarded
with death at _ the hands of those he had
loved eo much , and then darkness again
fell upon Qulvera for 200 years.
"The grave of Father Padllla may still be
found within the borders of the subdivision ,
or county , of Franklin , and there are still
preserved by the of
Knights Ak-Sar-Ben
many stories of his life nnd death. Some of
them may bo found In the flflecnth chapter
of the 'Book of Padllla , ' which also con
tains much of the ancient history of Qul
vera , which is now known as Nebraska. Of
this book there are not more than two
copies in existence , a complete ono being
ono ot the most treasured relics of Ihe
Knights of Ak-Sar-Uen , and the other Is
believed to be In the personal possession
of Sir J. Sterling Morton. It is believed
to be burled In the splendid Qulvera and
Nebraska library at Arbor Lodge , which
for over a generation he has been collecting.
But of this or of the early hlslory , I will
nol speak more now , except to say Ihat dur
ing Iho fesllvllles and pageants much will
be revealed. "
Samson at this point summoned his at-
londants and ordered Ihat preparations at
once be made for their onward journey , his
duty In Omaha hav Ing been accomplished
While the attendants were at work Samson
consented lo lalk still further , and to an
swer such proper questions as might be
asked. When asked to explain the meaning
ot the name of the knights Ak-Sar-Beii
the request being coupled with a statomenl
that some heathen had declared Iho name
to be taken from "Nebraska , " and that the
same letters , differently ai ranged , would be
found In both words , Samson knltled his
mighty brows and appeared displeased. Then
ho said :
AN INTERPRETATION.
"It Is nothing aud yet you ask much.
Later much more may be known to all. But
even now It may be well , though It ap
preaches closely upon the field of knowledge
reserved for the faithful knights , to correct
such a statement. As already made known
by me today. It was many generations befoie
Nebraska was , or had being , that the An
cient Order of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben
journeyed thither. For the name Itself Know
now this much : 'Ak , ' or 'Ach , ' In the He
brew stands for 'brother , ' 'Sar' In the Per
sian stands for 'head , ' or , as people say now ,
'king ; ' 'Ben' in the Arabic and Syrlac stands
for 'son ; ' together they may stand for 'the
head of the brotherhood. '
'There are still other things which it may
bo well for the people to know. Though
the Syrians converse iu the Arabic , they
wrote In the Syrian character , and it was
also used , though not understood. In the
long olllces of their religious devotions
which were conducted during the nighttime
amid both solemn and spendld clrciimslances
wllh grand Illuminations and weird music.
Of this more will bo understood by those
who witness our second annual festivllies.
The vlsll of Samson caused a great bur
nishing up of armor among the Knights of
Ak-Sar-Ben and
, Immediately active piepa-
ratlons , In accordance with the command
of the proclamation , were begun. Theie
will be over COO Knights , esquires and pages
In attendance ] upon his majesty when on the
night of September 3 he makes his tri
umphal progress through the city. All of
the streets will be made light as day by
thousands of many colored electric lights ,
and during the pageant Ihere vvill bo boom
ing of cannon by Ihe artillery squad from
Foit Crook , displays of fireworks and a
general carnival led by Iho Knlghls of Ak-
Sar-Ben , all of whom will bo arrayed in
garments filled lo Ihelr noble rank.
On Iho nlghl following the pageant King
Ak-Sar-Den will proceed to tlio castle of Iho
Knights of Ak-Sar-Hen , formerly known as
the Coliseum , which , by royal command ,
will have been changed Into a magnificent
ball room. After the King and queen have
taken possession of the royal box the ball
will be opened by the Knights of Ak-Sar-
Ben and their ladles , and afler Iho first
two dances all of the faithful subjects will
be allowed to go upon the dancing floor.
Before the llghls are extinguished Samson ,
the lord high chamberlain , will issue a
[ jroclamatlon calling upon ull subjccls of
Ills majesty living within the boundaries of
Iho province of Nebraska and adjoining
[ irovlnces lo again assemble after harvest
: lmo ne\l year , when Iho third annual cele
bration , but one of au entirely different
character , will bo held.
COURT BALL ,
Socially the great event of the week will
) o the grand ball of the Knights of Ak-Sar-
Ben on Friday evening The event last
( car was ono of the most brilliant social
'unctions over held in Omaha , but propara-
: Ions huvo been made to totally eclipse last
year's effort this season. The splendors of
he royal court have been enriched by search
through many lands and the opening grand
march will reveal a spectacle such as has
never been excelled In this section of the
United States
On Saturday night will rome the grand
concert of the Scandinavian aloglng societies ,
'or luonths the Scandinavians all over the
northwest have been preparing for this
cvoiil. In every settlement of these inufclc-
loving people there is a singing society
\\huiu the voices are carefully trained This
meeting is the annual { session of these
societies , scattered all over the northwestern
states , and there will bo present the very
Incst of the musical talent from all over
the country ,
In addition to solos , duets , quarters , slug-
ng by Individual societies , which will of
hemuelves , bo a rich treat to lovers of good
nuslc , they will present a grand chorus
of COO voices. This will be the crowning
event of the grcal musical festival.

but Purtell was eight pounds-over. After
a long wrangle the Cincinnati boy conceded
the vt eight Both men were fit as they
entered the ring
Purtell was en the offensive from the
beginning but was unable to do much with
Hyan , who used his clever left with good
effect. Kor four rounds iho fighting was
tame , neither man being able to got In more
than a light tap now and then. In the
fifth round they nilxc.il up In a manner that
was Interesting. Soon after tlmo was called
Hyan registered a heavy left on Paddy's
eje. ripping the cuticle and drawing blood
Paddy seemed a bit staggered nnd before
he got liln bearings again Hjan had planted
a couple of hot ones In lili rtbi Purtell
was in the light , however , and stood his
adversary off until the call of time. At
this stage Hyan appeared to hfive the fight
coming his way.
The sixth round opened with Purtellvery
much In evidence again. The punishment
received in the preceding round scorned
to have raised his Ire to the fighting point.
Hjan came at him fiercely , landing lightly
with his left on the face. Paddy crossed
with his right , putting a hot one on Jimmy's
Jaw , and then the boy went to the dust.
Ho was up In two seconds and immediate ) }

and again Jimmy went down. This tlmo
ho was down lour seconds. Ho came up

Aside from Purtell's puffed ejcs , neither

JOHNSTOWN. Neb , Aug 24 To the Ed
itor of Iho DeoIn the recent great debate -
bate at Urbana Mr Harvey used the fol
lowing language"The vital principle 1
wish to say again Is the competition of ell-
ver with gold When It Is known that a
new crop of money Is coming Into tompc-
! tlllon with the old crop U will tnvo the
same eflcel as a now crop of whpal coming
| In compptlilon with the old crop , the wheat
In the plpvrtors in Ihls country ( Applause )
i Before your wheat Is harvested. If It Is
known that a Intge new crop Is coming the
I whoit In the ilevators falls , and so It will
, bo with gold. It will fall the moment the
election passes and it Is Kno\vn thnt n np\v
| crop of mono ) Is coming ' This sounds well
I bul II IB a fallacy and one so traiispatont
that 1 wonder thp audlrnce' did not latlgl :
the speaker off the1 stage
In the first plaeo It Is Improper nnd 11
logical to compare things which art * ills
similar You can only compare things tha
ate , In ll.elr gencial characteristics alike
For Instance , you cannot compare star' '
with stones The comparison must bo star :
I with stais and stones with stones Yoi :
I cannot eunpaio crops of grain , which no
only fiurti-ate , but are transitorv , so tha
j the rrops of any ono year arc almosl en
llrely consumed In a year or Iwo , will :
metals , which are. as a general thing , tolerably
orably uniform In their production , uncl
comparatively speaking Indestructible
But the compatlsoii , If legitimate. Is toi
general and Indefinite when he says "Si
It will be with gold , H will fnll the mo
mcnt It Is kno\vn that a new ciop of money
Is coming " Notice the confusion of te'rm
"gold" and a 'crop of money"hat nr >
we to understand by a crop of money'Vc
know what Mr Harvey means. Ho means
silver and Intends to say that gold wll
fall when It Is known that n new trop o
silver Is coming Now , following up the
fallacy , let us go back to the Illustration
of wheat , remembering vvhal was said abou
comparison belli , ; possible only betwpen
things which are alike Now , would any
other large , uevciop , except a crop o
wheat , affect the price of the old crop o !
wheat In the elevators' Would a largo , uov
crop of hay coming do It ? No Would a
large crop of sugar beets coming affect HIP
price of the old crop of wheat ? No How
could It ? Nothing but a laigo crop o
wheat coming could affect the price of the
old crop of wheat In the elevators. Like
Influences like
Now , turn to the metals. Can a large cror
of silver coming affect the pi Ice of gold ?
No , for the reason that they .110 dlsslmllai
and the pioductlou of Iho ono cannot affect
the other any more than the production of
beets can affect wheat. A laige production
of gold coming might affect the pi ice of
gold , as It did when the discoveries In Alls'
tralla , California and Africa were mads
"Then gold came In such abundance that
it began to fall Inaluc. . H was even pro
posed In Paris to demonetize * the metal , so
unreliable In Its production " But the pro
duction of any other metal , whether silver
aluminum , nickel or copper , could not af
fect the value of gold It con only be af
fected by the Incieaso or decrease III the
production of Itself , Just as with wheat , or
corn , or rye Just so long as the supply
equals the demand so long will gold retain
its present value. Ovei production of the
same metal alone can lessen its value ; a
failure of the supply of gold alone can In
crease Its \alue. The crop of any other
metal can have no effect upon it.
Now let us chase this fallacy right home
and see how fatal it Is to the cause. Mr.
Harvey has at heart the cause of free and
unlimited coinage of silver. He says"It"
( meaning the old money ) will fall the mo
ment the election passes and It Is known
that a new crop Is coming. " Let us apply
this to silver , and jjot only Mr. Harvey , but
all Interested , will bo astounded at the
result of his prediction. Wo grant Its cor
redness , because figures prove It. Wo yield
hln < bis conclusion , because It Is the .ibso
lute aud inevitable truth. The largo com
ing crop of silver. If the coinage of silver
is free and unlimited , will cause silver
to fall the moment the election passes. How
low it will fall no one can fathom In spite
of purchases by the government of 21,000,000
ounces per year from 1878 to 1890 , and of
54 000000 ounces per year fiom 1890 to 1833
It kept falling from $1.208 In 187 ! to ? 0 78031
In 1893 , and still declined to ? 0 ( ! 3 per ounce
In 1891 , and Is still dropping , so that it Ib
now but $ Q.n.
The icason , as stated by the prophetic
Harvey , is the large crop that has been
coming , year after year , in competition with
the old crop In 1873 the value of the silver
crop was over $35,000,000. In 1890 It was
twice that , or over $70,000,000. In 1893 the
value of the crop was $77,000,000 , and It
was Immensely greater In 1895. This Is
why the value of silver fell during that
period from $1 298 to $0 C3 per ounce , and , by
the foice of the same aigument , If flee
and unlimited coinage of silver was pos
slblc , the "laige coming crop" would cause
the price to fall still lower , and no man
knows when It would touch bottom.
Ovcrpt eduction Is the blraple , the only
satisfactory solution of the phenomenon , and
though cheap silver has made its use pos
sible in many ways before unknown , the
falling tendency Is not attested
To USP n falling metal like this as the
primal y money of a great commercial na
tlnn , contrary to the practices of countries
with which it has the laigest trade , Is mad
ness Its adoption , Instead of ai resting Ita
decline in value , will only Inciease the
veloeity of Its fall by stimulating every
Invention that ran aid In Inci easing the
crop , for , as Mr. Harvey sajs , "It will fall
when It Is known that n new crop of money
Is coining. " J\MKS MORRIS.

The Wyoming State Hoard of Equalization ,
consisting of the Rccretnry of stale , auditor
and triasurer , has completed the woik of
compiling tin' valuation of all clauses of
property In the state and of ( King the tax
late for state purposes for the present year ,
The report of the board shows that , not
withstanding the greal depression In values
which has clmtactcrlred the principal Indus
try of the state cattle lalslngfor the past
ton yearn , general condition ! ) are Improving
and the total assessed valuation of ull prop
el ty has Increased eivor Iho valuation for
last ye'ur.
The report shows the total valuation of
all classes of property In the stnlo In IM'G '
to bo J3C.029.704 05. This is n gain of $100-
75 ( ! SG over the valuation for 1S95 and a
gain of $831 GG.t 15 over 1MII The valuation
for 1S91 Is the lowest of the te > n years tinin
1SS7 to 18W ! The highest valuation was In
1SSS , when the total state valuation wns
$33,33SIM1 Thercfoie , while the state la
on thu up grade. It has to Increase Its prop
erty valmtlon $3,308 bflfi 35 before It Is again .
as rich as It was eight years ago. i
The returns for the live stock Industry
show the greatest range of changing valua
tions and showthu oausv.of the state's
retrogression in property values during the
past decade In ISSG ( hero were in the state
! > 3S,121 cattle > , valued at $11.051 125 In 1SOG
the report shows but 207,250 rattle , valued
at $ XbS2G5S This hhows a falling off In
tills particular Imluslry l.om t8SG , when
the cattle business of the state was at Its
eight of 000,871 head of cattle ami In
valuation a loss of $10 , ! > GS,5G7. Fulling
prices , losses from severe winters , over
crowded lunges and the removal from the
stale of large herds on account of the dup-
pdallons of cattle thieves have all con-
rlbuted to cause this great depression in
ivhat wns oneo Wyoming's most promising
and prosperous ludustiy.
Outside of the cattle business the state
iiakes a good showing when comparisons
are made In 1S8G Hie value of all properly
In the state , exclusive of cattle , was ? tB-
3G'JBS9 In 18 % the value of all property ,
exclusive of catlle , is reported by the board *
to bo $2G 347,1 IGG5 , show Ins a gain In gen
eral values , outside of catlle , of $9,977,557.65.
A noticeable Increase In values Is shown
by the rotuins of Hie sheep raising Induslry.
In ISSG Wyoming hid SOS 997 sheep , valued at
$1 25 a head , and a total value of $159,825.75.
In 189G theio are 1,30SOG3 head , valued at
$1.77 a head , and a total value of $2,317- ,
01S50. If thu ratio of Increase of the past
two yeAi's continues for two years more-
short" values in the state will exceed those
of cattle.
Railroad and telegraph line values have
also Increased since ISbG In thai year Ilia
otut assessed valuation of the ralhoads and
elograph lines In thu state was $595,990.74.
In IS9G the valuation of this class of prop
erty Is $7,10 ,200 25.
The tax levy made by the board for the
puiposo of raising revenue to conduct the.
affairs of the state Is G.15 mills , which la
the maximum limit allowed by the stale
constitution. This will yield about $1S5,000
revenue for state purposes As the annual
fixed charges for conducting the state bus
iness amounts to about $105,000 , and the In
terest charges on the bonded Indebtedness
of the statu amounts to $19,200 per annum ,
it will be readily seen that the Income the
btato leeches just ubout pays expenses of
Its government and allows no margin for
useless or unnecessary expenditures Tlio
bonded indebtedness of the state Is $320,000.
This is the maximum limit to which the In-
debtedncbs of the state can bo extended
under the constitution , which limits the In
debtedness which may be created by the
btate to 1 per cent of the assessed value
of property In the state , except when neces
sary to suppress Insurrection Wyoming has
suffcied but one HOI Ions loss since its ad-
miulstiatlon as a state. This was In 1S93 ,
when the state treasuier lost $5r ,000 of Iho
state's funds through the falluic of a bank
where he had thai amount of state founds on
dopobit Of this amount $15,000 is still duo
Iho state and will piobably never bo re
