LINCOLN, Aug. 17. (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. D. Oldham for
the olTIco of attorney general at the last
election, and one delegate at Inrgs from
ench county. According to this ratio tho
representation of the various counties will
be an fellows:

The parmancnt Improvements on the
State fair crounds arc ncarlnt; completion.
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.

lowing proclamation, designating Monday,

through nature's designs nnd the gcncsl-i

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.
Each Week Grows Larger
July was hot The drouth looked bad You know the rest Sales fell off
We had already purchased heavily for the fall trade, It was a question of piling
