The turnslllcs at the State Pair grounds
Yesterday clicked off a happy farewell to
any fears that might be left In regard , to
the financial bucce-ss of the enterprise and
, \vhon the gates closed at night It left the
management with the absolute assuraneo
* hat the fair had already proved an unpre
cedented success. It was Omaha day , and
the people turned out right royally to do
honor to the occasion. A crowd that was
variously estimated at from 40,000 upwaids
surged over the grounds and burled the al
leged deficit In the finances of the board
under an avalanche of half dollars. There
was nothing lacking to make the day enjoyable
joyable- Even In the afternoon , when the
crowd was biggest It was possible to M > O the
fair without the honors of dust aud heat
that wore so imuh In evidence when In other
years It was hold e-arller In the month.
The great proportion of the people who
conio iu to bco the fall manage to time theli
arrival to bee the Ak-Sar-Itun parade Thurs
day night , and consequently man > of them
wcro In ovldento at the talr grounds yester
day. Those , with a more than ordinary at-
tcmlanco from Omaha , South Omaha and
Council Blurts , combined to unko thu day
ono whldi will go far to balance the
heavy expenses of bringing together such on
exposition. The travel on the various trans
portation lines was heavy all day. The
Jlrst tralnb that went out In the moinlng
were well loade-d and at D o'clock the street
cars were packed to thu footboaids People
who waited for a ear west of Sixteenth street
had freqnentlj to wait while several cars
passed before they could board ono that was
not already crowded to suffocation , and by
the tlmo the traitib reached PaiK aveuuu
they were all loaded to their full capacity.
CROWDING THE GROUNDS.
Out at the grounds igotor trains dis
charged with seventj-llvo to 100 passengers
every two minutes and they poured down
the avenue to the Court of Honor at the
rate of nearly 15,000 an bout Every few
minutes a rallroud tialn would deposit a
crowd running up into the hundreds at the
west gate , and fiom the east an unending
line of vehicles wound toward the amphi
theater. Then thu streams of people from
the thrco main avenues met and mingled
In a human eddy that giadtnlly extended
and enlarged until it seemed to cover the
cntlro grounds
During the forenoon there was still abun
dant space In which to walk around the
grounds without serious Inconvenience , but
In the 'buildings the people were paeked so
thickly that tapld progress was Impossible'
The Individual who entered at eric door had

WKATUUH JUST 1UGIIT.
Considering the number of people who
were continually crowding o\er the grounds
the atmosphere was remarkably comfortable.
The air was bban > enough to prevent the
heat from becoming oppressive and in bplto
of the continual tramping of tlmus-uuls of
feet the dust was never obnoxious. The
multltudo of slda shows did a rushing busi
ness , and down at the stock pe-ns
the people were nearly as thlek
as on the higher grounds. At the noon hour
there was a tiemendnus rush for the
restaurants and lunch fitniuls , but those who
were willing to wait a nasoimble tlmo had
llttlo difficulty In getting stUfactorll > fed
Whllo the e'atlne houses are scarcely as
numerous as a jear ago , the quality of thu

tlon so that this matter may be more
thoroughly understood for the securing of
uniformity In grading"
A paper by William Stolly Piitltlcd , "Some
Things Every One Ouiht to Know , " was
read and discussed. Three reports to the
State Agricultural society of experimental
colonies were read by Mr. Stolly of Grand
Island and C. M Lewclllng of Heaver City
The reports show that there are a very few
satisfactory setlements being made In dif
ferent portions of the state. Many places ,
though Impracticable for apiary purposes ,
have proved highly profitable. The meeting
concluded with a discussion of the various
methods of wintering and watering the
honey bee.

Tlie Horticultural building Is easily dis
tinguished by Its decorations of evergreen
The miniature bastions and columns near the
main entrance are burled beneath ma'ecs of
the green shrub , making a most pleasant
contrast to the glare of the white buildings
sui rounding.
The exhibit this year In almost every re
spect Is a world-beater. Every space along
the walls was called for rarly in tinseason. .
The crop of fruit lias been unparalleled In
thu hlstoiy of Nebraska , and consequently
the farmers wish to tell the world of their
gctx ! fortune. The Interior of the building
has been handsomely decor.itcd with a wealth
ot greens and In many places , as If to s4iow
thu oveillow of fortune's bounty , long stream
ers of apples , pcarb and other fruits have
been strung across the aicues lu graceful
ftHloons.
Under the experienced hands of Superin
tendent J H. Hadklnson the exhibit ! have
been classed and neatly placed In groups
In the various sections. The first division
which attracts attention on account of its
size Is that of Sarpy county. Here the
grades of pearlies , apples , plums , peurs and
grapes grown In the fertile region are shown
in great profusion Among the most promi
nent fiult misers whoso names appear on
the plates are Chailcs Noun , who hab charge
o the display and John Dugan.
The next exhibit down thu alble Is that of
Doughs county The enormous size of the
display is bewildering. Extending across the
smith wall of the building , It overllows to
several other sections and the reMduu Is
collected upon one of the central Mauds
Apples , grape-s , peais , peaches and plums are
n evidence. Many of the peirs and apples
ire of exceptional size It Is provable that
n-iny of the premiums on this class of fruit
tvlll bo captured by the banner county in the
state. Several varieties of currants and
Slbe'lan crabapplcs aio shown. The display
of nuts peculiar to eastern sectloiib Include
the butternut , beech and others , demonitrat-

In the Washington county e-xhlblt there ari >
17C varieties of fruit , showing tills section
to be In unusually proM > erous condition In the
year 1897. The same grades of fruit as cx-
lilblted by the southern sections arc here
and the honors uppear to be ve y equally
divided , both as to slo and quality.
NEXT TO DOUGLAS COUNTY.
Nemahi county has the next largest ex-
tilblt In the building next to that of Douglas
county. There are G50 plates containing

CHICAGO , Sept. 23 Viewed Horn various

weeks. In the face of the sensational cir
cumstantial evidence that has been produced
to prove that Mrs. Louise Luctgert met

they saw the woman alive on May 3 and 4.
One of these witnesses talked to her and

saw was Mrs. Luetgert. This witness was
Matt J. Sholrl , a barkeeper at the Hotel

strange woman at the Hotel Maple on the
evening of May 3. Hu talked with her
nearly ten minutes. She asked to be di
rected to the farm of one Mueller In the
neighborhood , but as no one seemed to know
of such a person , the woman left. The fol
lowing day Sholrl again saw the woman IIo
described her general appearance and her
clothing and Identified a photograph of Mrs.
Luetgert as the wom&ci ho saw. On cross-
examination by States Attorney Dcnccn wit
ness at llrst placed her weight at 130 or
140 pounds. Then he hesitated Slid he had
got mixed up and remarked that the woman
weighed 115 to 118 pounds , which was about
Mrs Luetgcrt's weight. This hesitation and
correction were made muoh cf by the piose-
cutlon , which Intimated that It Indlcited
that Sholrl had forgotten the weight that
had been probably told him at first

Emma Schimpke came to the court room
In the afternoon to hear Hosa Glelch Im
peach her evidence given on Wednesday.
She was fighting mad when she heard her
self made out a falsifier. Attoiney 1'lialen
discovered her presence In the room and
called her to the witness stand. When
asked If she had not told Rosa Glclch she

replied : "I don't remember"

Mrs Mattlo Scherrer , the last witness of
the day , testified positively that Emma

stand was in'rue.
SENSATION SPRUNG.
The trial opened with a sensational Inti
mation by ex-Judge Vincent that the police
were Intimidating the witnesses of the de
fense. Ev-Judge Vincent , soon nftor court
opened asked that the jurj bo excluded while
ho made a statement to the court. After the
jury retired ex-Judgo Vincent , with Indigna
tion In his tones and force In his declaration ,
said. "If the court please , there Is strong
reason to believe that the police are Inter-
feiing with witnesses for the defense and tryIng -
Ing to Intimidate them. I do not say abso
lutely that this Is true , but the Indications
point almost directly to that conclusion I
dctflro an order of the court prohibiting sucli
action on the part of the police or the prose
cution. "
"Why not make the Injunction cover both
sides ? " suggested State's Attorney Deneen.
"Tho court docs not require Instructions
from any of the attornejs engaged , " sharply
lesponded Judge Tuthlll.
"I will make the charge that witnesses
for the defense have been Interfered with and
harassed by the police , " said Attorney
Phalcii of the defense.
"If that Is true there should be an In
vestigation , " remarked State's Attorney De-
neen. "If any witness for the defense has
been Intimidated It has been done without
knowledge of the state and wo do not ap
prove of It. "
"I will say now for the benefit of the
police , said Judge Tuthlll with severity In
his tones , "that If I hear of any Interference
with witnesses on cither side In this casa
I will deal with the offender and my deal
ings will not be gentle This defendant has
rights hero and they will bo protected "
"Why not order an Investigation ? " queried
State's Attorney Deneeii ,
"Mr. Dmeen , this court ! will make the or
der It deems proper , that will do. "
IMPEACHING STATES WITNESS.
When , the jurj was recalled Rosa Glelch
was placed on the witness stand for cross-
examination. This witness was called yes
terday to Impeach the evidence of Emma
Schlmpko , given In the direct examination
by the prosecution She stated that she
was with Emma Schlmpko on the nlgbt of
May 1 and remained with the Schimpko girl
until the latter entered her home. She
denied emphatically that either of them had
seen Luetgert leave the lattcr's residence
ami go to the sansago factory as described
She denied also that Gotllcba Schlmpke , who
testified that she also saw Luctgert and Ills
wlfo , was with Emma and herself that night
Furthermore , the witness said that Emma
SUilmpke , since she had testified In the
case , had admitted to the witness In the
presence of otheis that she had lied. Ac
cording to the witness Emma Schimpke said
she lied because Gotlleba , her weak-minded
sister , had got her into the Luetgert case
and she would not testify on Luetgcrt's side.
The witness also stated that Emma Sclilnipko
tried to get her to tell the name story Emma
had told to save the tatter's reputation.
State's Attorney Deneen went at this wit
ness with one of the most remarkable cross-
examinations ever heard In the criminal
court. Ills questions were fired at her with
the ranldlty of a repeating rlllo worked to
the limit of Its speed The witness was
quick-witted and replied promptly for a
while , but she was not as resourceful as
the lawyer , and after half an hour she be
came confused and her face blazed with ex
citement. Then she began to contradict
herself as to Important particulars , and
made corrections which weakened her
evidence.
The crowd at the court house today was
larger than usual , and the struggle to secure
admission to the court room partook of the
nature of a riot. Hundreds were turned
away , and the officers on duty at the door
had several encounters with unruly visitors.
Harry Fielder corroborated Rosa Glelch's
story and asserted that the mother of the
Schlmpke girl compelled the latter to tell
the story the did ,
Matt J Sholrl , a bartender at the Maple
house In Kenosha , WIs , testified that he
giw Mm Luctgcrt on the night of May 3
He taid she came into his saloon weary and
with bedraggled eklrts as It she had walked
far. She Inquired the direction to the house
o ( a farmer turned iliu-ller. The lollc-wlng
day Sholrl said he saw the woman again at
Spring Hluff , a suburb of Koifh | Sholrl
was not acquainted with , Mr . Luetgert , but
from the description of her he was posltlvo
tbo woman he saw wns she.
CORRECTS HIMSELF.
Late In the afternoon the 'witness Sholrl ,
who testified to meeting Mrn. Luctgort In
Kcnosha , announced that he desired to cor
rect his testimony. Ho took the stand and
delivered himself of the following : "When I
said the woman weighed about 140 pounds
I meant to sny she weighed about 115. I
was thinking of her ago when I made my
former statement. "
"What's that , " asked ' State's Attorney
Doncen.
"I was thinking of her age when I said
she weighed 140 pounds.1
"You mean , do you , that she was about
140 years old and weighed 115 pounds ; Is
that It ? "
"Thut's It ; I was thinking of her age. "
"That's all. " said the state's attornej , and
Sholrl stepped down.

SAN FRANCISCO , Sept. 23. The story of
the fate of the missing Norwegian bark
Seladon was confirmed todiy upon the ar
rival of the steamship Moana from Sydney.
The Seladon left Newcastle , N. S. W. , on
July 13 , 1S9G , for Honolulu with a full cargo
of coal. On the night of August 7 , at 11-30
o'clock , the vessel struck Starbuck island
vvhilo running at u peed of seven knots , and
fifteen minutes later four feet of water was
reported in the hold , and two boats were
launched with crews of eight men each.
After laying by the vcscel until daylight , Cap
tain Jeger decided to make Maden island ,
which ho icckoned to bo two days' sail. Hav
ing nothing but a chait aud compass , how
ever , the boats missed the Island and at
tempted to Make Christmas island , but missed
that also. They then ran before the wind
and for eleven dajs proceeded without a
mishap On August 18 , the gig capsized , and
all its o"cupants except Chief Olllccr Nell-
son , who was drowned , were picked up bj
the other boat. Captain Jeger died of c.x-
haustlou on August 24 , and wart burled. On
the twenty-third day out , August 30 , the
fourteen men divided their last tin of meat ,
five pounds , which lastdd threedajs. . Mean
time thcj were dependant upon occasional
show era of rain for their water supply. For
six more dajj they sailed on , too weak to

at Wllkesbarre. Mo jt of the witnesses were
foreign stilkers , who were in the march
halted by the deputies' deadly fusllade. Ihey

The strike situation remains unchanged

firm-nil In Ilrlnuln Suit.
Up to last evening the officers of the South
Omaha Llvo Stock exchange had not becii
served with any papers in the suit com
menced by the United States attorney gen
eral to dissolve the exchange. Nearly all
of the members of the exchange left tlielh
places of business as soon after noon as pos
sible , In order to attend the fair , and thost >
who remained had no official knowledge of
the action taken by the legal representative
of the government. As composed now , thu
exchange is governed by a board of nine
directors , the officers being Michael Murphy ,
president ; James G. iMartln , vice president )
A. L. Lott , seciotary ; T. B. McPhcrson ,
treasurer President Murphy spent the ar-
ternoon at the fair , consequently his Idea
! could not be obtained.
Vice President Martin said ; "Tho action
of the United States attorney Is unaccount-
i able As to the probable result or the policy
to bo pursued by the exchange I will not
1 express an opinion "
Secretary Lott said : "A dissolution of tbo
I exchange would be a blow to the enttlo In-
terebts of the west , as by the rules , govern-
' lug the buying and Eelllnn of stock now In
force the shlppe'i Is protected In every way
and especially aaglnst unprincipled per
sons who otherwise might frequent the
yards. "
, Treasurer McPherson was not lu the city ,
but It Is expueted that he will bo at hN
desk this morning Draper Smith , a proml-
I ncnt member of the exchange , had not heard
of the suit until told of It by a Bee repoiter.
i Ho expressd both surprise and regiet. "Un
der the rules and regulations now In vogue
the cattle "business " of the west , " Mr. Smith
said , "Is being handled satisfactorily to the
shippers and commission men I think that
the United States authorities must bo Igno
rant of the safeguards the exchange throws
' about the shlppei else it would not have
taken the step It has. "
I None of the members could talk with any
' degree of Intelligence on account of not havIng -
Ing seen the papers , but It appeared to be
i the general opinion that a special meeting
of the exchange would bo called within a
few days to formulatesomo plan of action
That the exchange will fight the case them
can be little doubt , but until a meeting 1 held
It will not bu known Just how the directors
will proceed
Superintendent Paxton of the Union Stock
Yards company eald : "Such action on the
part of the attorney for the government Is
to be regretted , as unler the present regula.
tlons the business appears to bo conducted
to the entire satisfaction of the shippers "

cepted as applying to the recent troubles of
President Benjamin E Andiews and the eor-

"Coinell , " obseivud Mr. Schurminn ,
"recognizes that the mijorlty may bu wrong
j and the majoilty may be light therefoiu
absolute ficudom is the soul of the institu
tion. Brice eallcd our majority uilo systum
fatalism of the multitude We belluvo' here
that one man with God's truth is a majority
and every tcichcr Is pxpectcd to do what
Sociatcs did , although he outraged Athenians
and suffered martyrdom for it , to communi
cate to others hit , own belief and convlc-
tlonb or else to answer to a charge of sacii-
legc. I believe the Institution should Lease
to c.xist a thoiiband times sooner than that
a single piofccbor could be coerced.
"Teachers should bu free to Investigate
nnd to , announce and to proclaim what they
have discovered. They must be free to
pieacnt both bides of a question. The teacher
Is not the repicsentatlve of a coiporallon
of the people , but the representative of the
God of Truth.
"Whllo It Is a necessity to any univer
sity , it is not so paramount to the freedom
ot a teaching staff. Better that the univer
sity bo wiped out of existence thJn that
truth be suppiesscd. The end of a univer
sity is piopigation of truth. Any preten
sions of a eoiporation to set llnilM on a

unwarranted. "

It may be possible for human genius to
devise and human workmen prepare a grander
paguint than was seen on the streets of
Omaha last evening , but they never have.
Tint was the consensus of opinion throughout
the greatest concourse of people that evur
witnessed any passing show In the streets
of Oniah i.
The Pageant of Qulveri was the tltlu glvon
the third evening tmndo ot this season , nnd
to bay that it far BUI passed all previous
efforts ot the Knights of i\k-Sar-Beu Is to
admit a tiul'iii , however strong a statement
It may contain. The Illumination of the
principal Btiee-ts and the big buildings , the
military and civic parade and even the gor
geous display uf electrlc-llghtod Holts on
the previous evenings of the week had but
in el cued the citizens and theli numerous
guests foi a still grander aud more elaborate
dlspliy of page'iutry , and the-y weto not dis
appointed. Ihey weie ovci whelmed with
surprise. They wcro captivated , and for once
an Omaha crowd roused itself fiom Its too
common lukuwarm disposition , nd mani
fested lt pleasure over the goigeous lloaU
by beany applause and loud lunrahs.
MAGN1P1CENT THEME WELL DEPICTED.
Although there never were more beautiful
floats passed through the streets of any we st-
cin cities than those seen In Omaha last
evening the particular chaini of the grand
pageant was in the continuity of the hls-
toilcal allegory represented by the score of
floats Ihero was a thcmo to the pigeant ,
and It waa not so remote that one needed
an X-ray appaiatus to dlscuvei It. Thu hls
toiy ot the Kingdom of Qulvera was beau
tifully and symmetrically portrayed. From
tbo days when Jamestown , the oldest settle
ment In the United States , was fouuded
down to thu time whun thu Tiaiisniisslsslppl
Exposition engrossca the attention of tbo
public there was scarcely an event of , his
torical Importance happening lu this part ol
tbo continent tlut dltl not have Its counter-
felt picsentmunt in last night's Pageant of
ljulveia The ciedlt for thu manner in which
It was worked out is due to Georgu F. West
of this city , author of thu theme of the
pageant. Asldo from the historical and al
legorical intcrcat in the pageant , it may bo
remarked that It was a proposition of gioat
beauty , and will piobably never bo forgotten
by hundscds of thousands of spectators who
saw it. The gaily attired horsemen , the
handsomely costumed characters on the
lloats , the re plendcnt glory of a score of
floats , accompanied by thu martial muslo
of a doyen bauds , constituted a form of the
passing thow of the nineteenth century not
soon to be foi gotten. It was the climax
of theeffoits of nn organization that has
done moro for the city of Omaha In the last
three yeais than many Institutions have ac
complished In a decade.
SEEN BY MANY THOUSANDS.
Only superlative adjectives can bo used In
describing cither the pageant or the crowd
that saw It If It Is tiae that the procession
ot llrats constituted the giandest pageant ever
seen In the streets of Omaha , It l no less
true that It was witnessed by the greatest
tlnong of cpectato s ever gathciud on the
stroetn of Omaha. Estimates of the size of
such a dense concourse of pe-lc ) scattered
over so many blocks must necessarily vary ,
but It Is the JUgment of conservative men ,
used to mingling with girat throngs of people ,
that no lesj than 2riO,000 people witnessed
the passing of the pageant from the tlmo It
left the Den until Its icturn thcro after a
march through thirty-three blocks Figures
approximating this result will bo obtained by
a computation of the thlrty-threo blocks
through which the parade passed and an
average of flvo rows of peeiile along each
sldowalk , or by figuilng out a icasonablo pro
portion of the cltl7cn of Onialm , South
Omaha and Council Bluffs , plus the visitors
from points In this and otho'Htules moro
rc'inote. But no mere statement of numbers
will convoy on Idea of the ilzo of the multi
tude.
HOW TO GAUGE IT
There was but ono way to obtain a fair
opinion of tlieiiopulailty of the long-heralded
king and the ardent curloblly of the populace
to behold him and that was to pass over the
route nf the pirado. It was the Fame almost
eve iywheie Sixteenth , Douglas. Farnani ,
Ilarnoy , Eighteenth , Howard and Fifteenth
sticets had their flagstonepounded harder
than they cvci were In one evening before.
On all thcso streets the curbs were used as
front pews , and In back of them were ranged
long rows of chains that woru secured either
through a tiemendous yank of ono of th
lower limbs or through the payment of some
coin to the fortunate pofsesior. Back of the
chain * theio woru line * of spectators varying
from tince to six depp Ollleo windows , the
fronts of teHldPiices and publlo buildings , tbo
roofs of the lower buildings and platforms
built out from higher on en were all utilized
to their greatest csraclty.
At the Intersection of every cross street
along the route of the parade theie was not
only a large crowd of people standing In the
open street , but back ol HIPSO were enough
vehicles to carry all the argonauts of Klon
dike and their Impediments across the Cull-
koot pass. There were all sorts of vehicles.
Thcro was the big wagon of the farm , la
which the farmer had loaded his own family
of gills and boys and same of those of his
own neighbors on the flvo boards running
across the width of the box. Alongside
of this cumbersome wagon , Just near enough
for the teams to get tangled up , cat the
smooth young man with his best , girl In a
single buggy , the kind with a narrow teat.
Then thera were high-seated traps that on
needed a step-ladder to reach and low vic
torias with fair women reclining in the easy
scats , waiting patiently for th procesilon to
cornu along These and a half dozen other
forms ot vtacoui and carriages could lie
