for the Shim.
The great fertility ot Nebraska soil Is nowhere -
whore better attested than In the Agri
culture building at the Greater America im
position Just nt this time , for that great
building Is filled with evidences of fertility
and also c-f the wonderfully bountiful crops
of this year. In this structure , set apart for
Nebraska products , there Is nt present ono ot
the finest and incut extensive displays ot
corn , omnll grain and vegetables ever
brought together In the state. It goes far
ahead of any state fair that was ever held
nnd will more than compare with the showIng -
Ing made last year In the same building.
It Is but within the last two weeks that
the Interior has been put In shape , ns the
decorators were compelled perforce to wait
until after the harvest to obtain samples of
the year's growth. As soon as the small
grains were ripe" they were put on show ,
nnd now that corn , the chief crop , Is ready
to bo husked the amount of that staple-
coming In for display Is simply enormous.
Several counties In the state have made ex
cellent showings nnd there arc also , very flue
exhibits from Iowa nnd Kansas. By all oddi
the Douglas county show li the best of all.
It Is the most elaborate and the largest. At
the present time the corn U > attracting the
most attention. Some corn picked from the
field of J , M. Abraham , near Valley , Is about
the finest that has over been raised In the
state. The seed was obtained from Ohio
last > ear. Ono ear In the lot weighs over
two pounds nnd It Is all very laigc. The
cob Is small nnd filled to the very end com
pactly , many an car not having a missing
kernel even at the tip.
Besides the corn there Is also a fine showIng -
Ing made of potatoes. W. n. Some , from
near Klk City , has an exhibit of potatoes
that arc top-notchers for size nnd perfect-
ness , some of them weighing ns high ns two
pounds each and forty of them filling a
bushel basket. A pumpkin weighing over
150 pounds attests to the fertility ot the
soil In this county and a number of very
largo watermelons also arc another evidence.
Waterloo comes In with a largo and artis
tically arranged display. J. II. Taj lor has
the superlntendency of the exhibit of
products. The arrangement ot articles la
very good.
A very extensive nnd elaborate display of
vine products Is the most prominent In
the booth. There are pumpkins , squashes ,
gourds and citrons of every variety , size
and color. There are crinkly squashes and
bmooth squashes , red , green , wrhlto and
pink squashes and pumpkins and melons
galore. A mammoth Chill squash occupies
the > pest of honor , with portly dimen
sions , Its weight being 160 pounds. Many
varieties of seed corn , both field and sweet ,
are shown and twenty varieties of apples
show something of the fruit-producing
capabilities of the county.
Lancaster county has a large exhibit , the
booth being a very pretty one. A unique
decoration Is that of broom corn , the product
bolng shown In all states from the raw
material to the handsomely made brooms
ready for use. The corn and potato dis
play Is also very good.
Dawson county has made a flno display
of 'alfalfa and sheaf grains. The booth is
handsomely decorated with different kinds
ot grain. Corn and vegetables are also well
represented.
Washington county is distinguished by a
great -variety of grasses , there being IDS
kinds on the walls , the most complete ex
hibit of any In the building. The vegetables
and small grain showing Is creditable also
and the fruit show Is good.
Cumlng county Is represented by some fine
potatoes , and a great many of them. They
are clean , perfect In shape , and the yield
has been very large.
Boone county makes a showing of grasses
grains and corn , with vegetables as a son
of side show. Thomas county has a smal
but very good exhibit of products , thiirston
county Is also represented by a good tfis-
play of products , from corn to vegetables
and prairie hnjs.
In the Iowa show Dubuque county la
probably the most extensive. Major E. H
Smith Is the superintendent , and ho has
arranged a tempting display of cereals , corn
nnd vegetables. Flrty varieties of corn
have been placed on a large arch occupying
the chief place In the booth. The dlfteren
varieties of wheat have been placed In pock
quantities and other
small grains are
shown In glass cases. Polk county Is dis
tinguished by Us flno
potatoes , its pop
corn , sweet corn and field corn. Delaware
county has a general exhibit of the products
Indigenous to the west.
Kansas tas two county shows , Lyon and
Linn. N. B. Bartholomew la in charge o
the later "booth , and his prldo Is the tal
popcorn ho has there. The stalks are flfteet
feet high and highest ears are eleven fee
from the roots. On four stalks there are
thirteen ears of perfectly grown corn.

BIG FOUR PRESIDENT TALKS
iiRnllN Announce * III * Conflilrni-c In
Intrrntntc Commerce Coni-
iiilftftlon.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 1C The Imlustrlnl
ommlsslon today heard the testimony of
'resident M. B. Ingalls of the Big Tour
ml the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad com-
mnles , on the transportation subject , and of
Vllllam T. Graham of Chicago , \lce presl-
cnt of the American Tin Plate company
nd director of the Federal Steel company
nd the Steel Hoop company , as a part of
he Inquiry concerning trusts.
Mr. Ingnlls announced his confidence In
ho Interstate Commerce commission as use-
til to the railroads , lie said ho was n tiling
o trust the commission to a largo extent
n the regulation of rates , and would be
vllllnR that 4ts decisions should regulate
inpasacd upon by n United Stales court.
lo wanted the government to aid the rail-
oads In the maintenance of rates , saying
hat this power should go with the power
o regulate the roads. Ho said there was
res discrimination on the part of roads
now than during dull times , but ho feared
hat with a change for the worse In the
orelgn conditions there would bo n return
o the old sjstem of discriminations to get
rclght business.
In view of the fact that one-tenth of the
opulatlou of the country Is directly depend
ent for n livelihood upon the railroads ho
bought the commission should give the
question of protecting the roads against ono
another In the matter of rates a great deal
of attention.
Ho wanted the anti-pooling feature of the
ntcrstato commerce law abolished and
mild go farther and ask for n law enabling
he railroads to make rate agreements , their
maintenance to bo controlled by the courts.
Mr. Ingalls also advocated the enforced
mbllcatlon of all freight rates , saying that
10 would bo willing alsx > to submit to the
nspcctlon of the books of the railroad com-
mnles ns the books at national banks arc
now Inspected. Ho thought the criminal
eaturo of the laws had been abolished ,
lo also favored the abolition of the pass
5 stem and the ticket brokerage sjetem.
With the proper laws for the regulation of
ates so as to Insure steady incomes to the
oads , Mr. Ingalls said , lie would favor
a system of profits sharing. He thought
tich a system would Insure better service
> y emplojes and bo more equitable , but felt
hat It would not bo satisfactory In the
ibscncc of a system guaranteeing stability.
Mr. CJraham , the second witness of the
day , said that the capital stock of the Amcr-
can Tin Plato company was $50,000,000 , of
\hlch amount $18,000,000 was preferred
lock and the remainder common. There
verc about forty old companies In the com-
jlnatlon. When he went Into the consoll-
lated company ho was told that ho could
mve only a certain amount of stock , and
10 was given $100 worth of each kind of
stock for each $100 of the cash valuation
of his old plant. Since the consolidation
ind been effected prices had advanced from
:2 : 75 .to $4.03 per box , but this advance
did not more than co\er the advance In the
prices of steel , pig tin and other Ingredients
and the prlco of labor. Indeed , the profits
were not so large as formerly. He said
that there was no restriction In contracts
\ith bujers requiring them to buy from
he American company only. No preferences
wore given to one Jobber over another , and
no sales were made to retailers. Asked
concerning the effect of the tariff upon
ho tin plate industry he said it had built
t up and the abolition of tariff would kill
t absolutely.
"It is understood you have organized
your combine without the tariff , " asked
Colonel Livingstone. J To this question the
witness replied : "Therewould foavo been
nothing to organize. "
He said that regular dividends had been
paid on the preferred stock , but that none
jad been paid on the common stock. He
.bought , however , that the company was
earning sufficient money to pay dividends
on this stock. The workmen would be paid
two or three times as much as the same
workmen were paid in Walce before coming
to this country.
P. S. Wheeler , treasurer of the American
Tin Plate company , also made a brief state
ment concerning the organization of that
company , corroborating Mr. Graham's state
ment. Ho said ho new of no contracts
for discriminations against other manufac
turers. He said that the common stock
of the company represented the price of the
good will of the different companies which
constitute this combination.

The work of Uodgers at center In Satur
day's game makes him the probability for
that place. The coming week's work is
likely to bring about a general shaking up
of the team. At present It looks a.s If they
