nnd attempted to lake Florence Vorls with
him, still rests In the city Jail. Ho sat In
his. cell almic, sullen and murine, today.
Tho authorities would allow no one to com
munlcato with him. Miss Vorls failed to
appear In tho city, so County Attorney M lin
ger has not fully determined what action
he will take.
It has at last been decided that Lincoln
will have a street fair. Its date will be
the first week of October. October 2 will
bo a record-breaker If It comes up to ex

or more speakers of national reputation
they desire to Import for the occasion.

tiled a brlof with tho supremo court giving
additional citations and arguments to show
that tho act tinier which the board as

roads, that the bill as signed by the gov

bill covering the snme (.ubject passed by
both tho house and the senate. Woolworlh'

Tho clear sky and bright sunshine of today
have made It Ideal weather for the street
fair and tho llrst day of tho reign of King
St. Eeb Ragus passed on without acci
dents and was filled with pleasure for all
loyal subjects.
A uutlceuble feature of today's crowd,
which fur exceeded that of yesterday, was
tho largo numbtr of farmers from tho
surrounding country present, who drove In
with teams, tilling nil livery and feed burns
uiul making hitching posts In grenl de
mand. As n consequence, some very Inter
esting additions wero mado to the agricul
tural and fruit displays, especially of corn
and grains. Over twenty varieties of corn
wero exhibited, Including that which won
tho llrst prize nt thu state fair, but which,
In tho language of a Sarpy county farmor,
"ain't nowhere with that exhibited from
Uodgu county."
Tho Fremont Hemp company has an In
teresting exhibit of fibers, including many
Imported liber producing plants. It was
a surprise to many to know that hemp
raised In Dodge county comes back lo Ne
braska as a thread woven In tho basis
fabric of Wilton, Axmluister and llrussels
carpets nnd that It Is used In tho ropo
wulks of tho United States navy In tho con
struction of cables used on our men-of-war.
In tho horticultural exhibit, which oc
cupies a series of booths extending nearly
a block on Fifth street, arc over 2UU va
rieties of apples, which those In charge say
does not include all tho varieties raised
In Nebraska, and a tempting display of
pears and grapes and n few peaches.

Tho crowd was on hand early this morn

tho direction of Marshal of the Day Ormsby,
with Waldo Wlntcrsteen and J. C. Leo as
assistants, on lower Mnln street and passed
through tho streets to the music of four

Thirty of the hnrncss horses and racers
wero In line, either ridden or driven by
their grooms nnd their spirited appearance
and stropg but slender and powerful build
gavo tho spectators proof that tho ruces

Immediately after tho parado Zcrklll,
tho maglilan, performed some puzzling
feats on platform 'I, followed by tho big
colored qunrtot on platform 5, whllo tho
little Alexander sisters entertained their
usual good-sized crowd on platform 2.
The first thing nfter dinner wns tho mid

going on at two and (hreo platforms at tho
same tlmo and still tho crowds were as

alls of people left for tho Driving park,
but their departure made little. If any,
diminution of l..e crowds which surged up
nnd down tho sidewalks and through tho
centers of the strcots. Fruit, lemonado
and soft drink stands did a rushing busi
ness and, as two-thirds of tho people were
provided with tin horns, whistles nnd tho
Inevitable rubber ball, tho venders of
these articles prospered.
Ilnnil Concert" Olvi-n.
Two band concerts were given by Ilnge
now's band today, ono In the afternoon
from 4:30 to 5:30 nnd the other In tho evon
Ing on tho big platform, corner of Sixth and
Main streets. Mayor Vaughn Issued a
proclamation forbidding blowing of horns
or whistles within ono block of this corner
during tho tlmo of the concerts, so that It
was enjoyed by a lnrge crowd of people,
and bids fair to be one of tho best drawing
features of tho week.
This ovenlng Rice's pig circus, the Alex

grostesque musical specialties, occupied
tho platforms nnd Deboo did some rcmark

IMPERIAL, Neb., Sept. 12. (Special.)
A. C. Shnllenbarger, candidate for congress
In tho fifth district, and Chnrles H. Walker,
candidate for representntlvo for tho Sixty
seventh representative district, spoke In the
rourt houso In Imperial yesterday nfter
noon to a fair-sized audience, which was
nt least two-fifths republican. Mr. Shal
Icnbnrger prefaced his speech with the
slatcmont that ho was it farmer nnd stock
raiser ami that It was a question now with
tho voters whether they wanted to send n
representatho to congress who would work
for legislation In tho Interest of tho pro
ducer and farmer, or for the corporations.
Ho then arraigned tho banking nnd other
corporations In unmeasured terms. How
over, ho failed to explain why his name
had been dropped from tho last published
report of tho Dank of Alma, Alma, Neb.,
as late cashier and ono of tho principal
stockholders.
Mr, Shnllenbarger dealt largely with tho
financial question, Insisting that tho vol
ume of currency wns not largo enough to
handlo tho business of the country nnd
nover would he until wo got the free coin
ago of silver. I lo touched upon tho ques
tion of trusts, Imperialism and militarism,
but brought forth no new Ideas on either
Issue. Ills remedy for trusts was the
populist Idea of government ownership.
Whllo Shallenbargcr Is a pleasant talker
his was a typical fusion campaign speech.
Tho only cifect noticeable with the repub
licans who were present wns that they
camo awny stronger In the republlcnn faith.
Mr. Walker assured the audience In his
brief talk that If elected to the legislature
ho would voto for ono populist and one
democrat for United 'States senators.
After tho meeting they left for Waunctn,
where they held an evening meeting.
It Is safo to say that Hon. W. S. Mor

ALMA, Neb., Sept. 12. (Special Telegram.)
War Is on iu tho fusion ranks In the Fifth
congressional district. Tho domocrnts
thought they had smooth sailing when they
turned down Congressman Sutherland nnd
nominated Shellenberger. Now they aro In
a quandary. Shellenberger Is not disposed
to swallow tho populist doctrine and Is
kicking over tho traces. M, i Harrington
of O'Neill has taken the contract to whip
Shellenberger Into line. Shellenberger has
boon so slow to adapt himself to tho situa
tion that the mlddlo-of-tho-road populists
have made considerable headway nnd have
lined up solidly for their candidate, H. O
Stewart.
The plan now la for "Colonel" John T.
Maher to mako Stewart get off the ticket
and then Hurrlngton Is to lend Shellen
berger up to tho populist trough and mako
him drink. Though neither of these party
bosses resldo In tho district they havo
taken It upon themselves to straighten out
the kinks In tho fusion rope.
Maher has assured tho local bosses In
tho Fifth that ho can do what ho pleases
with Stewart nnd Hnrrington boasts that
ho can mako Shellenberger take Just such
medicine ns tho populists seo fit to put tip
for him. Harrington has written Shellen
berger a letter calling upon him to como
out openly in favor of the "Inlttntlvo and
referendum" and tho incomo tax also. In
tho lc'lter ho called nttcntlon to the fact
that Dryon in his Labor day speech had
declared In favor of tho Initiative nnd ref
erendum and that ought to bo a law unto
all Scribes and Pharisees.
Up to this time, however, neither She!
lenberger nor Stewart has lined up as the
bosses would havo them and tho Indications
aro that they will refused to bo bossed.
