(Special.) Chairman 11 T. Dobbins of ttio Lancaster county cen tral committee predict a clean sweep for the county republican ticket nt the fall election Tbo fuslonlsts now hold two of the olllccs register of deeds and county treasurer but Mr. Dobbins maintains that the two Incumbents were elected under clr cumaiances which do not now prevail, and he sees no reason why every republican candidate should not win lu the ensuing contest. "Lancaster county will elect the full re publican ticket," said he. "I base thli? opinion upon the reports of and talks with members of tho county central committee. Immediately after a convention, especially one where tho nominees were not the lead ing candidates In point of positive strength but won by a combination, not only of cir cumstances, but between themselves, sore ness and a little wild talk may be expected. Tho thorough organization of the repub licans In this county ns compared with the lack of concentrated effort or facilities to do effective political work of the fuslonlstn makes It comparatively safe to predict re publican success. "The fuslonlsts will nominate a full ticket, but, as In the past, will try to elect but one or two cnndldatcs. It is no Hocret that this year they will seek to recapture the otllc! of treasurer and register of deeds. Iloth of these aro now held by democrats. Two years ago tho republicans lost the treasurer 1 ecause of the defection of a number cf party workers who becamo In censed nt the failure of tho republican nominee In convention to carry out his pledgci, In r-thtr words, to deliver tho goods lie contracted to do when he went Into a combination. A secret light ngalnst tho re publican nominee for register four years ngo lost that oftlco to the party. Then, however, tho fuslonlsts were nctlve and or ganized. They had tho Inspiration of sue ccb In the state and a hope of election In tho county. Last year, however, the county gave un average majority of nbout 1,700 for tho republican ticket. While It Is quite pos blblo there will be defections this yeor be cause of one nomlnntlan, thero Is no In dication that It will and no likelihood that It can be great enough to overturn a ma jority of tho size now possessed by tho re publicans." Dciiiocrntli- Ntntr Convention. In the otllclal call, Issued by Chairman P. L. Hall today. It Is announced that tho pur pose of the forthcoming democratic state convention Is to nominate ono candidate for Judge of tho supreme court and two for re gents of the University of Nebraska, but no mention la made of tho governorship, for which John O. Yelser of Omaha Insists a nomination should ha made. At tho recent meeting of the stnto central committee the Bcntlmcnt was unanimous In opposition to the Douglas county man's contention nnd It Is not likely that the matter will be brought up In the convention The basis of representation i tho demo cratic convention will bo ono dclegato for every 100 votes enst for V.

Over J1S.O00 Is belns expended largely In new buildings, the principal Improvements bclnt?: Three horse barns 31x114. with central aisles sixteen feet In width and capacity for 130 horses; live cattle barns 30x120 feet, fourteen-foot aisles and ac commodations for 300 head; six swine burns, each 26x120 feet, twelve-foot aisles ami exhibit room for over 1.C00 head nf hops; one sheep barn 26x120 and exhibit room for 200 head. These buildings are thoroughly constructed with shingle roofs nnd tspeclal attention has been given to light and ventilation. Per the flrit time exhibitors of stock will have accommo dations equnl to the best furnished at any fair and of equal Importance the arrange ments are such that the people may view these exhibits to tho best advantage, which, In contrast to other years, when n visit to the slock exhibit required a half mile walk and all the time In tho sun, will be greatly appreciated. In the policy adopted for permanent Im provements the buildings arc being grouped to make easy of access one with another. With this in view the horticultural build ing has been moved to a now nnd more central location nnd n new wing is added, which will Increase the exhibit space In It fully one-fourth. This will give nccmnmo- latlon for a larger fruit exhibit than ever made before and tho space will all bo utilized. The water system for the grounds has been reconstructed at an expense of $2, 100 and It Is connected direct with the city system. From tho centrnl water mnln ex tending across the grounds nil buildings arc reached nnd nn abundant wnter sup ply Is assured. Sanitary conditions have been looked after nnd they will bo better thnn ever before and adequate for a crowd nn matter how large In numbers. The speed stables have been repaired and all repainted and put In first-class condi tion for horsemen. These furnish accom modations for 125 horses. A new founda tion has been placed under the amphi theater, tho mercantile hall Is under a now roof nnd agricultural hall, the dairy building, the poultry building nnd all of fice buildings have been repainted. The fencing of the grounds with cnt'lrely new fence has been an Item of expense of no small magnitude, but, like other Im provements, It Is permanent nnd will udd to present appearance, while not requir ing rebuilding for years. In means of transportation, tho handling of exhibits and caring for the pcoplo who como nnd go, extensive Improvements are being made. Tho llurjlngton has already greatly Increased Its terminal facilities on tho grounds and especial arrangements are mado for handling State fair visitors with tho least Inconvenience and shortest possi ble delay. rroolnniut Ion for I.nlior Day. Governor Savage today Issued tho fol lowing proclamation, designating Monday, September 2, as Labor day: Itest for thoso who gain a livelihood throuch mental or nhvslcal cnercv Is us essential to our well being nnd our exist ence as sleep and food. Constnnt applica tion of eitner wmiout intermission means premature decrepitude, organic Infirmity nnd early termination of life. Tho im portance of rest for thoso who toll was recognized In the primitive ages nnd from the Inception of tho existence of the human race one clay of the week has been sacredly otiscrveu ns a uny or rest, not nioue ior human beings, but for beasts, which through nature's designs nnd the gcncsl-i of Invention aro made useful Instruments of tho patrons of Industry. It retlects magnanimity nnd a charity of spirit that organized Boclety has Judiciously contrib uted to the Mosaic Injunction ngalnst con tinuous labor. To Its credit let It be said that not only has It righteously followed the precepts of the decalogue, but It has w.sely Incorporated Into Its Jurisprudence. nrnvlslcinH calculated to afford moro nnd grcnter relief to the toiling masses. Society lias been so minima ami circumspect in me conservation and promotion of tho cnusu of labor that numeroiiH days have been set imluo as holidays, thus affording those who toll nn uddltlnnnl opportunity to obtain rest .md enjoy recreation an undertaking well Intended to evolve n higher moral and social standard, ns well ns to augment our mental nnd physical resources. Pursuant to this end and by reason of tho fact that Nebraska Is populated by u people who happily tomo within the entegory of labor the legislature of this state has wisely designated tho llrst Monday In September ns lnbor day and this being Monduy, Sep tember 2, by virtue of tho authority vested In me by law, I, Kzra 1'. Savage, governor of tho state of Nebraska, do hereby pro claim this day and date Labor day, and es pecially enjoin upon all cessation from toll and appropriate observance thereof. This being a period of unprecedented prosperity In commercial ns well ns Industrial circles. labor being more fully employed and better pnlil thnn ever neforc in our nisiory. mere should neither be. lethnrgy nor apathy nor a disposition to conduct business exhibited, but everybody should observe Lnbor day In n manner bellttlng the occasion. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand nnd caused tho great seal of the statu to be nttlxed. Done at Lincoln this 17th day of August, A. D. 1001. lly tho governor. EZRA 1. SAVAGK.

ON ''SCIENTIFIC RAINMAKING" Mr. limine)- llxpluliiH III rosltlon on (he To pi e of I n lino I k l'reelplliillon. LINCOLN, Aug. 16. To tho Editor of The Bee: In your last Sunday's edition I notice you hnvo nn editorial under the heading of "Scientific Hnlnmaklng." In asmuch as I am the writer of the article which you quote from, I ask ns a matter cf justice to myself that you kindly pub lish this letter. I wish it to be distinctly understood in the first place that I do not belong to n class of "deluded rainmakers who expect something for nothing." My nr tlcle made that point very clear, as the following quotation will show for Itself: "Many people of late years have com bated the Idea that lakes or reservoirs have any tendency to Induce rainfall by the evaporation of moisture which Is con tinually going on from them. According to government reports (and scientific men) tho greatest rainfall In England Is Invar- Ibly In tho Westmoreland lake region, which would go to prove that some recent Ideas nbout rain production aro wrong and that precipitation Is enhanced by the pres ence of large bodies of water. 'Like pro duces like" and 'like attracts like.' These are demonstrated laws In nature." As a student of nature I havo long ad vocated the making of large artificial res ervoirs In the arid regions of tho west as one of tho means for overcoming drouth. This plan is thoroughly set forth In an nrtlclo from me published In tho Nebraska State Journal of July 23. In that article I said that In my opinion "It would bo Just as reasonable to pray for milk from a dry cow or live chickens from a nest of rotten eggs as to Invoke a higher power to send rain from a clear, blue sky, with not a rain cloud In sight for perhaps 1,000 miles." This ought to clear my skirts from the charge of expecting "something for noth ing" and I also beltevo the law would stand good In the matter of shooting for rain, rirst assist nature by artificial storage of water In Immense quantities to produce tho requisite cloud formations and atmospheric conditions, then further as sist her In excessively hard conditions by shooting some kind of explosives In order to hasten precipitation. This Is tho pro gram I advocate and one that Is gaining grouna very rapidly. I know there are counties In England that havo very little rainfall compared with Hampshlro and yet they are close to tho seas. In fact no county In the entire country Is very fnr away from the coast, so there must be something more than atmos pheric conditions to account for the differ ence between Hnmpshlre and other coun ties. I say, In my opinion, It Is tho dis charges of heavy cannon which "Jars 'em I0030." Yours truly, WILLIAM E. BONNEY.
