enthusiastic political mooting which has

LINCOLN STREET FAIR ENDS
Mask Carnival Closes tho Show With a
Burst of Jolly Fun.

Hut the' .Mutineers Promise to
Keep the Institution Allc
for tin- Future.
LINCOLN, Oct. 6. (Special.) The sec
end annual street fair closed tonight with
a masked carnival, which continued from S
o'tlick until after midnight. Tho crowd
on the streets. Including tho masked par
ticipants, was the largest and Jolllcst of
the week, with tho exception of the at
tendance on Roosevelt day. Everybody
seemed Imbued with tho carnival spirit
tonight and hundreds of persons who were
not masked enjoyed the fun from thu
sidewalks, which were reserved for spec
tators. Luckily thero were no accidents
nor disagreeable disturbances of any kind.
From n linnnclnl standpoint tho street
fair was not a success. Contributions und
the salo of booth space fell far below ex
pectutlous, nnd as a consequence tho street
fair committee Is In dabt nearly $300. The
promoters of the affair nre confident, how
ever, that they will be able to pay off the
entire Indebtedness after a number of out
stundtig claims arc paid.
'Tho state fair hurt us," said one of the
street fair managers. "Not many of the
ruerebmts expected wo would be ablo to
bring a crowd to the city and they thought
It would be ti losing Investment to con
struct booths. We have demonstrated the
fallacy of that argument. It Is true that
there were not so many booths this year,
but tho otner attractions were really bet
ter than those of last year. As to the
attendance, there is no doubt that as many
people attended the fair this year as last
year. All of thu exhibitors are well satis
fled with the results and next year It will
not be so dllllcult to sell space. The street
fair In Lincoln Is n permanent fixture. Our
fair this year was held after those of Fre
mont, Grand Island, Omuha nnd other
places, yet we had no dlfllculty In getting
out good crowds."

Cigarette smokors havo to buy ready

ginning on October 15. At a meeting of
the cigar and tobacco men held here .t
was decided not to handle cigarette paper
becauso It detracts from tho regular and
more profitable ready-mado cigarette
trade, which Is no inconsiderable item In
tho business. Tobacco nnd cigar store men
are very reticent In' talking about the
meeting. It was called to form an asso
ciation and to agree upon several matters
of business. It was generally attended.
Practically all of the stores were repre

CH1CAOO, Oct. C. Tho Ltpton pork cor
ner was In first-class working order to
day und u. belated short, who covered a
line of 750 barrels shortly before tho rlcso
of tho session of tho Board of Tinde, had
to pay $17 a barrel, nu ndvanco of $2.50
for tho day nnd n gain of $2 over the
highest price of tho day before. There

$17, tho two Inst additions to tho prlcn
being made In $1 Jumps. Tho total pur
chatcs wcro 2,500 barrels.
The general opinion in tho tr.ido wns that
the short interest must be a r-i:i Ivjy
short one, perhaps 10,000 barrels nt tho
outside, but it is largely a matter of guess
work. Even If It Is no Inrgcr than 10,000
burrels thero will Lo room for nemo hljh
prices before the shorts get In out of tho

Anglo-American Packing and Provision
