TITE OMATIA DAILY UEE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1003. REV. HEISER OUNCES MIND Deoidei He Will Bun Tab tbs Home With out Oatiids Interference. ANYONE IS AT l!8ERTY TO INVESTIGATE Stnta Fair EihlbM All la Placo aad Ready tor the Reception of Vis itor! Bright aad Earl? Monday Morning. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Sept. B (Special.) The char ity organisation will not name the board of director of the Tatltha home as announced thla morning. Rev. Helner will continue to conduct the home a he has In the pant and he will do no without the aid or consent of the charity organisation. After a meeting of the charity commit tee Rev. Helner and hla board of dlrertort yesterday evening It waa announced by a member of the Investigating committee that Rev. Helner had agreed to allow the committee to approve a board of twenty members to be selected by him for the future management of the home. This morning Rev. Helner said he had decided after consultation with his attor neys to tell the charity organisation to mtnd Its own business and he would not allow It to meddle with his so far as ap pointing a board of managers waa con cerned. "I have decided to run my own busi ness," said Rev. Helner, "and not turn over to the city charity organisation what It has taken me fifteen years of hard work to build. I do not fear the report that the Investigating committee has had hanging over my head for so long. If the com mittee wants to publish It all right. I would rather the members would make a clear statement of what they have against my conduct of the home than to keep cir culating their Insinuations. I am tired of that and do not Intend to stand It any longer. They can publish It when they please, but I do not Intend to be held up any more. But what the committee pub lishes It must be able to prove, for I shall hold them reaponalble for anything that Is untrue. I do not fear the truth." Rev. Helner said the charity committee made him proposition that IX he would allow Its members to name a board of di rectors to control the home, keeping him as superintendent, they would not publish the report of their Investigation. He said he agreed to consult his attorney and then give them an answer later. Before consult ing the attorney Mr. Helner began to think that the charity association had no right to run hla business. Then visions of losing his home and seeing the charity association conducting It waa too much for him and before seeing the lawyer he had about con cluded to tell the charity organisation to mind Its own business. II Objeetloa to Investigation. "If the charity organisation wants any more Investigation It can get It by going to the proper authorities and having them do It The members of this committee have been dragging along her for two months and then come at me with a propo sition that If I will give them the man agement of the home they will not publish what they know of Its conduct. That macks too much of blackmail for me. ' I don't object to any fair and Impartial In vestigation. Five years ago rumors were flying thick and fast that the horns was being mismanaged and an Investigation was held (hen and I was exonerated. "Mr. Prever Is the only member of that committee that has visited the home more , than once; two members visited It once and . the others never . have been In the home. It would be Impossible for them to " jflnd out anything about the home In that way. I Invite any ona that thinks the home la not being properly managed to come there and remain for a week. Then he can tell whether It Is or not "Thla committee had six of the. Inmates before It to testify and not one of them aid a word. Maud Lewis, whose neighbors claimed bad been so mistreated, testified before the board that she was well fed, well clothed and well cared for while In the home. Her neighbors said Maud'a body was bent and curved, due to her hard work in the noma. The truth Is that we took the girl when an Infant. She waa born with a curved spine and her body was always bent. She ran away from us, so he testlfled before the committee, because some of her friends had left the home and that made her lonesome and dissatisfied Since that time she has visited us three times and recently she gave Mrs. Helner present upon the occasion of her birth day. She Is a regular contributor, to h home, paying each month a small portion of liar earnings." nrm. nouror ana ev. ClaTK, who Is a member of t.ie board of managers, talked along the same Una as Rev. Helner. "I have been at the home every dav.1 aid Mr. Clark, "and I have never yet seen anything that was not Just proper. The Inmates are contented and well treated and a more healthy lot of people will not be round anywhere." The board of directors of the home had a meeting later and deolded to run the place waepenaeni or the charity organisation. The board will be enlarged and everything possible will be done to make the home a succee Net Hostile o Helaer. Mr. Prevey of the Investigating board aald Rev. Helner had agreed to the ap pointment of the new board and conse quently the report of the committee would not be made public. "It Is not our Inten tion to approve a board that would be op posed to Helner or his Interests," he said. "The board we would approve would be favorable to Helner If It should ever oome to a partisan vote. . "The first Intimation w bad that things Were not right at the home was through B. P. Wlese, an employe who came to us. Then we began to hear rumors and others began to ask ua about the home. We then went to Mr. Helner and told him of these reports and he readily consented to an Investigation. We had no legal right to Investigate the home, but we wanted to know If the reports we had were correct so that we could tell people who applied to us about the home. We have no thought of Injuring the home and are willing to do what we can to assist It, It It Is con ducted properly." In discussing Welse, Rev. Helner said he waa the only person at the home who had Never give up ! "Not while you can buy Ayer's Sarsaparilla. tztiz ever mistreated any Inmate and It was for this reason that he win discharged. In the meantime sentiment In Lincoln 1 somewhat divided with the greater per cent In favor of Rev. Helner against the Investigating committee. The people who have expressed themselves say that If the committee found anything wrong with the home It was Its place to say so and not hold It over the head of the superintendent to compel him to relinquish hla conduct of hla own buslneei. In a morning paper here today Mr. Prevey gave out this In terview, which, he said, was all he cared to any now. It read: "The committee of the charity organisa tion society which has been Investigating the matter request the public to withhold Judgment regarding the published rumors. The committee has evidence on which Its Judgment Is based, but asks the publio not to be hasty In Judgment." While Mr. Prevey said he did not mean It that way, moat people believe the talk to mean that the committee has more evi dence up Its sleeve than was published yes terday. Second Day of Fair. The second day of the state fair was Just busy ss the first, with the" result that Monday when visitors are admitted there will be nothing left to do but see the sights, for they will all be In lace. Mrs. Deveraux, one of the women In charge of the exhibits, said: "The exhibit this yesr Is the nicest of any year yet, and I have helped take care of It for several years. The things are newer and prettier and very little of the old work, and by that I mean things that wer exhibited last year have not been returned this year. This Is very gratifying, because when the articles are handled they soon become tolled and this year the things are crisp apd new." In Mercantile hall all of the local mer chants have their window decorators at work and things are being unloaded rapidly, some of the booths being all completed. Agricultural hall la a thing of beauty for those who enjoy seeing farm products, and the exhibits are coming In faster than any of the others. The superintendent said thla morning that the exhibitors were all pleased with their places and that all of the coun ties that had asked for space had sent In their exhibits with the exception of Keith county, and that was momentarily ex pected. In the center of this hall la the Canadian exhibit, which Is attracting con siderable attention" for the reason that the grain exhibited Is unusually large. Shows oa Moaday. The different shows will begin on Monday and the Midway will be In full swing. Tba dining halls are serving meals to hundreds of people, for the fresh air one encounters there does away with any dyspepsia or other disease detrimental to one's appetite. There are so many restaurants on the main street that it has bean designated "Hungry Row."; Over at the race track the carpenters are finishing new bleachers which will easily accommodate 1,000 people. Interest In the races Is so great that this step was deemed advisable by the manage ment. A light shower to lay the dust on the track would be very acceptable Just at present In spite of this, though, the track Is In good condition and the hone owners exercise their pets there dally. The horse barns are well filled and the coming of Cresceus has caused the board to fix up the first boxstall near the barns for the trotter and this has been whitewashed throughout There will be other finishing touches and he will be well received as. far as handsome quarters are concerned. Cresceus will arrive on Sunday afternoon and will be taken to the grounds at once. Superintendent Flick scld this morning: "The exact time for Cresceus' appearance has not yet been decided upon. . It will be some time Tuesday afternoon, possibly at I or l:S0 o'clock-. .. His running horse will be 'Mike the Tramp,' a horse that always runs with him. If there should be a high wind he will not run till later in the after noon. It all depends on the weather. There will be one or two other heats before he races," Big Machinery Exhibit. The machinery exhibit Is Immense, and on that part of the ground nothing Is in sight except corn shelters, plows, reapers and such like. The exhibit of buggies and carriages Is as good as any previous year, and not a few are Interested In the die play of farm wagons. One of the firms dealing in machinery has a permanent building on which $3,500 has recently been expended. Down at the swine barna one hears the grunting of many pigs, and the sheep can be seen In their quarters. They are distinctly more lamblike than the swine. In one corner of Agricultural hall la the exhibit of the' state university ex perimental farm, and there are also many different kinds of woods. The people of Frontier county have come down with a number of stuffed animals, which are re garded with curiosity by all, particularly the children. In Horticultural hall fruits and flowers are to be seen. The apples are particularly inviting, and Mr. Christy, who haa charge of the Nemaha county exhibit says he will have fresh strawber rlea on exhibition by Tuesday. Thla, how ever, does not mean that the general pub lio will be served with strawberries and cream. The fair, taken as a whole, is something that the Nebraska people have reason to be proud of. If any other state can beat the' exhibits they have yet to show Nebraska. If the weather la fair there will be nothing lacking in any way. Enjoin Telephone Company. The first Interruption the Lincoln Tele phone company haa had since it secured Its franchise to enter this city cam thla morning In the nature ef an Injunction. Mr. and Mrs. Fred DeWltt of 1023 J street got out tho writ to prevent the company from placing a pole In front of their resi dence. In front of the DeWltt place are already two poles, and thfs one would make three leas than sixteen feet part. Jhey claim that such a proceeding would cut off their view, would prevent free access to their yard, and In other ways damage their property. The company claims the placing of the pole would do nothing of the kind. That It wouldn't hurt their view and. would not hinder getting at the yard. The company claims the family want the pole on another man's lot, and thla is Impossible. TO MEET AT DAKOTA CITY Old Settlors Will Hold Tbelr Twenty. Second Aaaaal Htesloa aad Pleat Taesday.

Governor Beckham said In part: I Intend that the contest shall be an aggressive, not a defensive, one; that the people shall be thoroughly acquainted with the Issues Involved and that In the full jignt or pumic view the democratic party, willingly, and the republican party, un willingly, must stand upon their respective records and let the people Judge between them. This Is ths policy which we seek, which we demand, snd we Intend to drag our reluctant adversaries from the dark re cesses of a "gum shoe" campaign and make them fight us, It they will, In the open jigm ok aay. While they seem to have determined upon a quiet and secret campaign, relying upon the power of a big corruption fund and hoping that the democrats may be lulled Into a tense of overconfidence, we are determined to compel them to stand up and assume entire responsibility for the evil record they hav mado ;a till state. Nothing to Conceal. W hav nothing to conceal; w Invite a full and fair Investlautlon of our ler-ord and we gladly go before the people upon inti record, oeueving implicitly in the sincerity of our purpose and in the righteousness of our caune. That the democratlo officials hav done everything In their power tu put an end to the troubles In Breathitt county no one disputes. They were purely local and not half so serious as the feudal outbreak In Clay county during the last administration. If the republicans had shown the same desire to punish the assassins of William Goebel that th democrats did to punish Marcum's assassins both crimes would now be avengea. I am glad to give hope to you of a bril liant victory at the polls In Nevember. I ask for the democratlo people of Kentucky that they shall not be Battened with a small majority, but that they shall roll up such a tremendous vote, one that will remove for a long time to come all danger of republican supremacy, making Kentucky absolutely out of the doubtful column and Bending good cheer to the hearts of the national democracy. Want Complete Victory. Let the victory be complete and perma nent and lei us send out the promise with reason and confidence to democrats of the country that next year, when our presiden tial ticket Is nominated, Kentucky is cer tainly for It by a good old-fashioned ma jority. It can be done and It will be done If our people will only realise the brilliant op portunity before them and will do their lull duty In this election. The democratlo party In Kentucky Is more united and har monious now than It hae been In ten years. Moat of those who left us In l&M and 1898 have returned to the fold and we should treet them with heartiness and cordiality. t te past be forgotten snd let us stand together henceforth, shoulder to shoulder, as democrats with our hearts full of devo tion for the welfare of our state and nation.
