State Fair Preparations.
Cresceus will certainly be here September
S. A telegram was received this morning
by Superintendent Flick of the speed de
partment of the state fair stating that
the contract for the exhibition of the fa
mous horse would be mailed to him to
morrow, and the message waa signed L.
M. Boda, who Is the owner of the famous
trotter. This clinches the bargnin.
The Burlington has been asked to provide
extra coaches for the great rush of people
who will attend the fair this year. Mon
day being Labor day, the best races have
been arranged to occur on this day and
nearly all the merchants have agreed to
close their stores at 11 a. m. that morning
so they can give their clerks an opportu
nity to attend, and also that they may
rely upon them staying In the stores during
the balance of the week when the city will
be full of shoppers.
The roadster race which Is scheduled for
Monday has aroused a great deal of en
thusiasm, since It Is open to the state, and
a number of local horses over which there
has been rivalry will enter and decide
which Is the speediest. On Tuesday
Cresceus will trot and with him will be
a runner In sulky to urge him along.
, The fraternity drill on Wednesday will
be a pleasing feature, and a purse of $300
has been collected for premiums. The drill
last year drew an Immense crowd. The
number of applications for stalls and pens
In the barns Is one-third more than the
demand of any previous year and tha board
will hold a meeting at the Llndell hotel
tonight to arrange for more room for the
stock. The starting Judge this year will be
O. P. TJpdegraff, who Is considered an ex
pert In that line, officiating at all the races
in the larger .cities.

Iovra Crop Conditions,
Bulletin of the Iowa section of the Cli
mate and Crop service of the Weather
bureau for tha week ending August 17: .
The week has been unseasonably cool and
cloudy, with excessive humidity. The
amount of rainfall was light, except in por
tions of the western and central dlstriots.
In a few localities some damage was caused
by wind and ball with excessive downpours
of rain.
Threshing and stacking were considerably
retarded by damp weather, cloudiness and
fog. In some localities small grain In shook
has been somewhat damaged by excessive
moisture. In relation to the com crop the
burden of all crop reports la to the effect
that the weatheV has been too continuously
cool and cloudy for Its normal advance
ment. Unquestionably the crop as a whole
has made some progress, but lta generally
belated, condition and the continuance of
cold nights and cloudy days gtve Just cause
for anxiety as to the final output. There
Is certainly Imminent need of warmer
weather to develop normally the early
planted, and to produce anything of value
In the late planted fields. With good oia
tlme hot days and nights for the balance of
the season a very liberal amount of sound
corn may yet be produced.
A very large hay crop has been secured,
and the pastures and meadows are heavily
burdened with forage. Reports are gener
ally more favorable as to late potatoes.
Early apples yield abundantly.

The State Board of Health held a special
meeting this morning for the purpose of
hearing the caae of Dr. C. W. Downs of
Omaha, charged with unprofessional con
duct In that lt Is alleged that the doctor
circulated pamphlets and circulars the con
tents of which would tend to lower rather
than to raise the morals of humanity. The
doctor was not ready for trial, and the
caae waa continued, at the request of his

weeks ago while a circus was going on,
and scattered tha pamphlets among the
crowd.
Normal Board Ont Again.
The State Normal board wt'.l start out

those towns that want a normal achool.
Tha stops tomorrow wilt be ft Alnaworth
and Long Pine. The time for the meeting
of the board to make Its decision has not
yet been announced, but it will not be
very much longer, for at least two of the
board will have to go to work by the first
week In September, and will be unable to
oome to Lincoln as easily aa they can
now. Every town that has offered a bonus
expects to get the school, and to make
success certain every town la dishing up
entertainment for the board members that
to nrat lieutenant First Sergeant Guy
HInman was elected second lieutenant.
Sergeant Will Kaufmann resigned on ac
count of leaving the city, which leaves the
places of three sergeants vacant to be filled
later. Captain Brooks has accepted a com
mission as commissary with the rank of
captatn. It Is expected that the rest of
the signal apparatus will soon be supplied
the corps so that they will become familiar
with Its use before the state encampment.

PORT OF SPAIN, Aug. 18. Authentic in
formation was received this afternoon an
nounelng the Imprisonment of French, Ger
man and Italian merchants at Ciudad Bol
ivar, Venezuela, for refusing President
Castro's demand for the ropoyment of
taxes already paid to the defacto govern
ment. President Castro demands the payment
of arrears for the period of occupation of
Ciudad Bolivar by the revolutionary gov
ernment, a sum exceeding 165,000. The mer
chants refused to recognise President Cas
tro's decree abolishing Ciudad "Bolivar aa
a port of entry and declined to ship goods
via. Carupano,
The Veneusuelan gunboat Muranda went
to the district of Nutrias, exacting from
the merchants forced contributions and
fines amounting to another $.v),000. The
goods Imported during the revolutionary
regime were confiscated and double duties
were Imposed. It is reported that Presi
dent Castro has threatened to annihilate
the commerce and expel the foreign com
munity of Guayana, on the Orinoco. A
reign of terror prevails throughout the dis
trict owing to the extortion, threats and
barbarities of the party In power.
The entire region of the Orinoco teems
with produce accumulated during the past
two years, for which there are no ade
quate shipping faculties. The native and
German firms at Caracas appear to be
seeking to control the entire Orinoco Im
port trade. There is no money in tho
Orinoco country and the distress is great.
All the American river boats and Interests
up the Orinoco are at a standstill, being
unable to move In consequence of Presi
dent Castro's determination to destrov tha
transhipment trade In American and Eu
ropean goods between Trinidad and the
Orinoco river country.
