The faithful old horse that has done ex cellent service to Chief of I'ollcu Canning and the attaches of the office for a year or inoro ended his existence yesterday morning In n pitiful and tragic manner. He wa * hitched to an Iron post In front of thechief's ofllcu. The big team ot horses belonging to Hose company No. S ot the Fire department got beyond control of the driver and came tearing down Vine street headed directly for the city Jail. Canning's buggy was standing half way In the alloy bet Wren the Jail and the patrol house , dl- rerlly In the path of the runaway team as it dashed Into the narrow alley. The old horse sprang ahead as far as his short halter would permit Just as the team with a heavy lumber wagon attached dashed by. The sudden Jeik of the halter pulled the animal's head down and almost threw him. In re covering himself he reared up and fell across the top of the hitch lug post. The post was u foot longer than Ms hind legs and he re mained suspended with his feet helpless ! ) dangling lu the air. A number of men ran to his aid. but despite their efforts to lift him off the post was slowly forced through the animal's body. When It was discovered that he wa Impaled Canning ended the suf ferings of the brute with a shot from his revolver. The fire team that caused the accident ran away through no fault of Driver Conley. After the customary morning exercise the team had been hitched to a lumber wagon and was engaged In hauling lumber for the repairs ot the hose house. In backing up tea a pile nn Upper Vine street the hind wheels struck the lumber and partially overturned the wagon. The horses gave a sudden lunge at the same instant and the two shocks threw the driver out. He held to the HHCF when the horses started to run and was dragged along the pavement until the breath was knocked out of him and his hold broken. The horees ended their run In a head-end collision with the scale house. The tongue penetrated the building and was broken off. One of the horses came Into full contact with the wall and was knocked down and slightly hurt. City Welghmaster Johnson , who hol-hles arourd on two wooden legs , barely got out of his chair In time to escape being hit with the end of the wagon tongue.

They were arrested , and narrowly es caped lynching. Now they have Jen re leased , It being demonstrated that the as sault was purely a matter of Imagination on the part ot Miss Warner. When .Miss Warner fell , supposedly swoonIng - Ing , Into tlio house of a neighbor and told of a horrible crime , some one spoke ot the three boys who had passed In f'ont of the Warner homo , and the pursuit by a posse , the arrest.

OMAHA SCHOOL CIIII.DItr.V.SVOIUC , t\lllllll : Illllt lllll-lTHlN I'ltrOtllH Of Oil' HO > N nml ( ilrlx. If the virtue of n state may be judged by the excellence of Its schools , the educa tional exhibit at the fair grounds ought to be sulllclent to convince the most skepti cal that Nebraska Is entitled to high rank. In spite of limited space and other Incon veniences which harassed the people who gathered the exhibit , they have brought together an object lesson which Is regarded with moro than ordinary Interest by nine one of ten of tlio people who visit the grounds. It Is the most practical Illustra tion possible of the1 high standard public school Instruction which 1ms been reached In Nebraska , and while it lins been found Impossible to fully represent much of the work of the schools , It affords a thorough Idea of what has been accomplished In branches which hnve more recently been added to the curriculum of the schools. The exhibit Is found in a more appropriate place than last year. It occupies the south end and part of the one side of Textile hall and It would fill the other end , too , If all the material which has been provided could be plven place. As It is , a vast amount of Interesting things have had to give way , but the space available contains the cream of the offerings. It serves to give a very thorough exposition of the work of the Omaha kindergartens , drawing classes and the manual training department In addition to the regular state exhibit and those of the Omaha Commercial college and the Crelghton Medical college. Among these the Omaha school have the largest and apparently the most popular showing. Half of the people who visit the fair nlninst refuse to believe that the drawings which cover the side of the build ing have been done by school children and by very young children at that. They go a little further and see pieces of cabinet work that not one skilled mechanic out of fifty could accomplish and when Mr. \Vlgninn assures them that they arc the work of boys , some of whom have been less than one year In the manual training de partment , they shake their heads In credulously and seem to think they have been Imposed upon. Hut from first to last the exhibit represents the work of the children's heads and hands. The Ideas are sometimes crude , but most of them are meritorious and much of the work Is of such a degree of excellence as to justify the doubt that the children have really per formed it. The teachers who arc in charge of tlio exhibits take all this as a matter of course. They say that they have long expected that not one person In a hundred knows how much children can do if they are properly taught and they declare that still better results arc possible when the Interest of the parents Is more largely engaged in the so-called "fads" of school work. SPECIMENS OF DRAWING. The bulk of the space occupied by the Omaha schools is devoted to the drawing exhibit for which the supervisor of draw ing , Miss Alice Hltte , Is largely responsi ble. The people of Omaha have had several opportunities to view the work of the pupils in the Informal art exhibits which have been given In the city hall , but there arc thousands to whom the drawings are a con tinual source of wonderment. "Why. I can't draw like that and I have been study ing for years , " bald a woman yesterday afternoon and she has quite a local reputa tion as nn artist , too. The exhibition Includes a small showing of the work of each grade from the little tots of tlio first grade up to the High school pupils and there Is room for a difference of opinion in regard to their high proportionate merit. Among the High school contribu tions none command more general approval than that of Miss Nellie McMillan. It In- eludes a sketch of a tray containing a tea pot , napkin and other appurtenances of a light lunch and n broken basket of ripe grapes. Iloth arc In water colors and the light effect on the grapes Is considered especially praiseworthy. Jesse Hums has two good crayon pieces In sepia. One Is a sketch of Homer and the other a study of a child's head. Kclltli Hurgcss contributes a very pretty water color and a sketch In charcoal and John Olscn Is the author of a very commendable pen and Ink sketch from life , of a young man seated In an easy chair. The exhibit also Includes two very pretty pastels , one. of a basket of potatoes and the other a basket of ears of corn. The eighth grade includes exhibits from a dozen schools which are fairly balanced In point of merit. Prominent In the Mason school exhibit Is nn original wall paper design by Nettle Galloncr. Alex Gordon of the Park school has a pencil sketch of an elaborate banquet lamp which shows the result of much painstaking. The Lake school shows eoino excellent sketches of hands and feet from life by Henry Neal and June Anderson. One of the best wall piper designs In the exhibit Is from Walnut Hill school , and the Central two very good pencil sketches , one a tea set and tlio other n set of scales. The feature of the Lotlirnp exhibit Is In the figure sketches from life , which hears the names of Walter Haddock , Florence Lewis , Maud Keys and Clarlco Miller. They are remarkably true to life ami attract as much favorable comment ns any part of the exhibit. The Central Park school is represented by pen and Ink sketches , thoEo of a dilapidated hat and shoes being conspicuous , and the Cnnicnlu * shows some very good figure sketches. Han- croft has some excellent conventional de signs In wall paper and n nature pleco by Floienco Jonlun of the Lincoln school rounds out a very commendable exhibit. ATTUACT MUCH ATTENTION. Among the pieces which represent the sovi'iith grade Is a very neat wall paper design In scpla and gilt by Catherine Gor don of the Park school. Emily Wareham and Kdltli Webb of Lake have Bomo verj creditable pencil work In object drawing and most of the exhibit ot the Lincoln school is devoted to pencil studies In still llfo by GraceOakley. . May llanley , Hilda Leo ami Itosa GUI. Harry Squler's pencil sketch from lifo of live hoys in a game of marbles , which attracted HO much at tention In the last city hall exhibit , repre sents the Central school and bexldo It hangs a very creditable t > kctch of a Gothic church by the same artist. Mary Hodder of Kcllom contrlhutra an excellent pencil sketch of n group of vases , and the Ambler school hns a showing of pencil skotchea from objects , In which the shading Is ex ceptionally good. Other Items are an orig inal wall paper design by Grace McDanu ot Casti'llar and n drawing of a church \ > j Mabel Smith of Central. In the sixth grade , the Omaha View school shows tso'MO very fair charcoal figures from life , and dies lius nature and figure work In jiHirll. The Columbian Is represented by figure work. In which that of Aubrey Clailc In especially commendable. A unique sketch of n city street , with a row ot buildings on each bide , Is the work of John Schoonrogg of the Custellar. and the Leaven- worth and Franklin schools complete tU- exhibit. The Windsor school presents one of the strong st exhibits In the fifth grade work. Ernest IJuGralT has an excellent pencil sketch of a washtub anil kindred utenullti Victor JchliEon and Nellie. Krelder contrib ute figure work , and I'iorner Nester Is the author of a very creditable pencil sketch of an old fashioned desk. The Pacific school has a very finu exhibit of figure and still life BketchcB. and a copy of a dog's head by Tony Ilraum Is excellently done , Thu Omaha View has all figures In this grade ; , Ella Ilarber , Minnie Hess and Hey Fry be ing responsible for the best work , Fred Murphy of Kellom chows a very well drawn flower pot. The Mason la represented U- pencil sketches of a chair ana a school home by Charles Cox and Minnie Dennett respectively. The nature work from the- Forest and Train schools In the fourth grade consists of fifteen-minute work , and , although the work Is naturally hurried , It Is generally excellent. Omaha View makes a showing of charcoal sketches , Leavenworth of ob jects In pencil , and Dodge of the same , with one or two drawings of vegetables. In the third grade nro showjvR. tea set by John Wood and a pitcher by Irene Hospc , both of the Cass school. Nc to McCann of the Windsor has a very Interesting de velopment of a hemisphere Into nn Es- qulmaux's house In pencil , und some char coal and model work from the Train school follows. The first and second grades consist gen erally of small children , and the bulk of their exhibit Is of cuttings. There Is n little pencil work from Lake and Castellar. Many of the cuttings are very Interest ing , when the ago of the workers Is re- niombered , and among them are figures of a hen with n 'brood of chickens , a trolley car complete and various animals and out- of-door objects. WORK OF THE INFANTS. The kindergarteners have hit upon a very pretty Idea for their exhibit. Each school was given one month In the year and allowed to arrange a design represent ing that month. Many o ( the designs are decidedly original , and when they are hung together they form a very novel almanac. A stitched figure of "The New Year" an- swcrs for January , a portrait of Washing ton , with various fanciful' and patriotic decorations by pupils of the Long kinder garten , represents February , and the Web ster furnished the March spectacle. This Includes cuttings of trees swaying in the wind , living geese , windmills and willow buds Just peeping out. April Is Illustrated by water colors of the earliest ( lowers bj- the Kellom Infants , and nn array of newly hatched chickens , ducks and butterflies from tlio Pacific kindergarten Indicates the com ing of May. The remainder of the vear Is similarly illustrated , the legendary Inci dentals of each month being reproduced by the children In paper cuttings and fancy work. Lcrvenworth paints June. In the col ors ot daisies and morning glories , and Comenlus gives nn unmistakable Indica tion of .ho arrival of July by hugo fire crackers , miniature flags and similar de signs. The remaining months are Indi cated with equal originality by the Cass , Mason , Lake and Castellar kindergartens. The manual training department shows n comparatively now feature ot the Omaha schools. Although space Is afforded for only a very limited showing of what has been accomplished In this department , It la sufficient to attract more than n little at tention , and Prof. Wlgman Is kept busy ex plaining by what means he has taught the boys to accomplish such results. One table shows the detail work , which the pupils ot the department arc taught during eight months of the year. This Is comparatively uninteresting , and the most attractive pan of the exhibit shows the experiments which they arc allowed to attempt during the re maining two months of the school year , In order to show to what extent they have profited by their Instructions. A glass case contains a quantity of Indian clubs , drinking cups , vases , cake dishes , card receive ! v etc. , which have been manufactured out of maple , mahogany , ebony , holly , amaranth and snakewood. A pleasing combination of colors is obtained by using different vari eties of wood In the same piece , and tp the general observer the work appears perfect. At one side is n small spnctsyJilch con tains the more pretentious products of the department. Here the. boys 'haVo ' been al lowed to exercise their Ingenuity to the limit , and some of tlio pieces are-really re markable samples of fine cabinet work. One of the flrrt things to catch'tlloi eye Is a handsome chess table In hard woods , of sev eral colors , and this has a history that Is not without nn element of sadness. It was made by Will Gardner us iv blrtlula- present for his father , the late 'Dean Gard ner. It represents n vast amount ot pains taking and no mean degree , of skill. Hut before the birthday came the. father had been called higher , and to thu many friends of the family who recognize. th , table it brings a gainful recollection. . , . ALMOST A WOUIC OF AHT. Another chess table ot equal workman ship was constructed by Roland Hawea , and another , very similar , by : CJhorles Hoot. The most elaborate pleco In the--collection Is a combination chess , backgammon and cilbhage table. In which Will Slevers hat- accomplished what is almost , entitled to be called a work of art. It contains twelve varieties of hard woods , and every joint Is so perfect that If It were not for the dif ference in the colors of the material it would not be perceptible. Henry Schmidt lias only been In the manual training school since February , but ho has produced a very pretty smoking table , which would bean an ornament in the most luxurious library In the city. There Is also an especially good display of center tables , the work of John Carrigan , Frank Novack , Allan Pres ton , Harley Eller and James Stoney. The stnto exhibit , over which Superin tendent Fordycc presides , Is far from be ing as large as ho would IK ? to have It. Hlg boxes of material whlcil was prom ised are piled under the counters for want of u place to put them , and many other boxes have not been opened. The exhibit would easily have filled twice the space that was obtainable , but , even with the limitations imposed , It Is said to bo the best that has ever been shown In this de partment. A prominent feature IB a collec tion of butterflies , contributed by William Williamson of Pacific City , la. This Is one of the most complete collections In this part of the United States , and receives much comment H. E. Smith of South Omaha also has n , very creditable collection of 1/ut- tcrflles and Insects. The exhibit includes a largo showing of map drawing and similar ' work , which has been collected from public ' schools in various parts of the state. Moat of the work has been done by pupils from 10 to IB years old , but much of It Is ex- cuptlonally well done. Another very Inter esting feature Is a large display of small stuffed birds by a firm of local taxlderinls'r. . The same firm also has an exhibit of larger animals , which Includes some exeopllnrmllj good specimens , The exhibits of the Ornnh.i Commercial college and the Crelghton Med leal college arc included In the etato o.t hlblt. Much attention U attracted by th exhibit of the Girls' Imhutrlnl schoul a Geneva. It Includes specimens of needle work , embroidery , drawing , nitjg and fancj work , all of n hlRh grade ot merit.

Harncs of the Hoard of State Fair Managers Is supreme chancellor of the order , and when he lint- ! tlmo he drops In to chat with his brothers Those who constitute the reception commit tee are : W. M. Gulwits , H. C. Akin , E. 11 Packard and G. II. Hennlngs. The Rescue Home , located at Fourth nut Hancroft streets , lias a branch on the grounds that should prove a valuable ad Junct. It Is a tent comfortably furnlshei and Is presided over by Miss Anna Carter the efficient matron of the home. Eugene H. Peek , editor ot the Rescue Homo Advo catu , Is also there. The Huslncss Men's fraternity , defined as "a secret , social and beneficiary fraternlU for business men , " has Its headquarters it Mercantile hall , adjoining The Dec's bureau It Is in charge of T.

Some ot the patrons of the fair are already expressing disappointment over the fact that the liquor privilege which was located under the amphitheater a year ago has been ta booed. This year the. blhulent visitor must quench his thirst with nothing stronger than milk shakes or Ice water. The fact that with only thico sprinklers In use , tlio grounds are kept perfectly free from dust , indicates that tnu fault last year was lack of water , rather tnnn of sprinkling facilities. The managers have made ar rangements to put on additional sprlnklerb In case the present number proves Insuffi cient. One of the motors on the Fair Grounds line broke down yesterday and delayed travel for n few minutes. Otherwise the service was perfect. The company has In augurated a new arrangement at tlio grounds which saves a couple of minutes for each train and affords a waiting place for the passengers. An extra car Is held at the end of the spur and when a train comes In the motor hitches on the odd car and starts back without waiting for the trailer , which Is switched up to be used In turn as a waiting room until the next train arrives.
