(From a 8taff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb.. Sept. 10. (Speclal.)
The weather man again gave th atata fair
management an Ideal day In which to re
cuperate from the slump of yesterday, and
the people and the management took ad
vantage of the sunshine and the lack of
wind and crowded the grounds, the race
track, the quarter stretch and the midway
and ' everywhere there wu a place to
crowd. The attendance waa 22,023, the
largeat of the week.
The features of the fair were the drill
team contest between the teams of the
various fraternal organizations of the state
and the crowning of Cresceus the "King
of the Half Mile Track." It was this latter
vent no doubt that caused the Immense
number of people to crowd In the grand
stand. For hours they hooked themselves
over the fences and again crowded out
on the race track waiting for the appear
ance of the horse. At last he came, lead
by one of his party, with only a bridle.
He was as slick and silky as brushes and
cloths could make him, and as he was led
before the grand stand there to receive
the ovation due him, he looked every inch
the horse he Is.
At sight of him the people broke forth
In cheers equal to the day the horse broke
the world' record for a half mile track.
N. J. Ronln finally restored quiet and In a
short little talk told of the accomplish
ment of Cresoeus and his due at the hands
of the people of Nebraska. He then
stepped forth with a beautiful floral wreath
with which to crown the animal. But
Cresceus would have none of it. He backed
quietly but determinedly away from the
flowers ,and repeated, this each time Mr.
Ronln advanced, evidently being too mod
est to accept such honors. y
When this was completed the crowd went
wild again for a speech from the horse's
owner. Mr. Ketchem responded, telling
the people of Nebraska that nowhere had
he and hts party received more courteous
treatment than at the hands of the people
. of this state. He claimed that all honor
hould be given the horse and not him and
that on behalf of them both he thanked
everybody In the state.
Cresceas to Try Aaraln.
l.to this evening arrangements were
made whereby Cresceus will trot again at
1:80 o'clock tomorrow In an effort to lower
Ms record. The term are for the fair
management to take as much of the re
ceipts. were taken In on the same date
last year, then the horse's owner to get
$500, after which the remainder of the re
ceipts will be divided, 76 per cent to the
fair and 26 per cent to Mr. Ketcham.
In the 'contest for the best county exhibit
Saline won first prise, with .Howard and
Washington In second and third places.
Eighteen counties were entered and divided
H.700 In prise.
Drill Team Contests.
The drill contests, which was begun yes
terday, one or two team doing their turns,
was finished this morning In the presence
of an Immense crowd of enthuslastlo on
lookers. The member of the Tribe of
Ben Hur, which had entered, refused to
compete because of the condition of the
rounds upon which the drills were held.
The other finished In this order: Modern
Woodmen of America Nol 190 of Lincoln
first. (100; Bon and Daughter of Protec
tion of Omaha, second. $75; Modern Wood
men of America No. 1 of Omaha, third.
60; Ancient Order of , United Workmen
No. of Lincoln, fourth, $38; Douglas cas
tle No. L Royal Highlanders, of Aurora,
fifth, $26; Degree of Honor of Fremont,
sixth. 116.
Though the track was In a bad condition
today, the races were Just as good and ex
. citing as any that have occurred and just
as much interest 'was manifested. The
fair all through the week baa been a su
cess even beyond the expectation of the
management. The attendance has been
most gratifying. Last night the records
showed that K201 more had been taken In
- than for the same time last year.
The crowds are being: well handled and
every one can easily get to the ground.
The Burlington Is running a three-minute
service and the manner In which the train
ate being handled and the splendid ao
oommodatlons have caused much favorable
comment. The street car company Is doing
Its beat and very little complaint Is heard.
The town 1 completely filled with people.
and while it 1 hard to get meals at meal
time, bo on is going hungry It he has
the price. The state house office are closed
during" the afternoon.
Little Talk of Camoolsa,
Mow that Leo Herdman has returned
from hi trip north and the republican
tat committee bag appointed aa executive
committee to look after Its affairs,' It Is
expected that the. oampalgn will open in
earnest la too near future. So far there Is
Utile talk of orator and Tory few places
eem crying for them.
The action of the democratlo Judicial con
vantloa at Nebraska City yesterday In
endorsing- Judge Paul Jesoen, the repub
lican candidate for that district, ha caused
much favorable comment here. '
little plan of the democrats to work
la the present Judicial oampalga Is just
coming: out. It 1 the belief now that In
this district, where there is no show for
the f unionists, they will Just endorse the
republican candidates, giving them a glad
band and stepping clear out of the way,
They will do this claiming- that they are In
favor of a non-partloan Judiciary. They
' then expeot to be able to get republicans
to vote for Judge Sullivan oa the ame
plea, referring to the faot that they have
no ticket nominated to show their sincerity
for the non-partisan Judiciary. The real
reason for the endorsement of the repub
lican candidates by the democrats la said
to be because the democrat and populists
oaa dad no timber from which to make
candidates.

The board of publlo lands and building
Never give up ! '
Not while you
can buy Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. t.-
met this morning and after rescinding
Its anion of yesterday In the matter of
the Boyd county land cases In which Com
missioner Follmer Is trying to oust the
squatters, appointed Attorney Onerat
Trout and Mr. Follmer a committee to
have free rein In settling the matter to
the best of their ability. The plan Is now
to have the squatters msndamus Follmer
to compel him to sign the deeds to the
land, thus getting the matter In the courts
as soon as possible. The squatters located
on the school land many years ago under
the Impression that It was open to entry
under the federal' homestead law. The
land commissioner was unwilling to so
cept the government land elsewhere In
the state because It was not as good as
the land now held by the squatters. About
1,209 acres are Involved.
Thlaks Damages Too Mark.
On the 18th of April, 1902, James F. Lan
sing took a board which had been torn
from the fence Inclosing his premises and
whacked It over the head of Marie Wes
sel with sufficient force 'to greatly In
convenience her and cause her enough
suffering mentally and physically to be
worth to her $6,000, according to her esti
mate. To get the money she brought
suit In the district court and was swarded
$500. Today Lansing filed his brief In the
supreme court asking for a new trial be
cause of errors of the court. The case
all grew out of the boundary fence be
tween the places In Lincoln owned by the
two.
Behoat How a Detective.
A. A. Bebout, for many years a sergeant
of the Omaha police department, has or

order to get the articles filed. For fifteen
years Bebout was on the police force of
Omaha and when the new police board was
appointed by Governor Savage he win
mentioned strongly for chief. He lost out,
however, and from that time until he re
signed from the force he lost cast rapidly.
He was made a detective for a while and
then reduced to the ranks. Before this he
fell and Injured himself and when ordered
to report for duty on a beat gave his In
juries as an excuse for not working. From
time to time he failed to report and finally
resigned. He was considered one of the
best men in the department.
Disease Uniform Bookkeeping:.
Superintendents from all the state institu
tions except the penitentiary met with
Chief Clerk Mickey yesterday afternoon

keeping. All the heads of the institutions
were willing to accept the advice of Mr.
Mickey and 4hey will In the future keep a
cash book, a fund record. Individual record

USES DYNAMITE ON A LEVEE
Farmer Takes Decisive Steps to Drain
Flood Watera from Bis
Land.
PLATT8MOUTH, Neb., Sept 10. (Spe
cial.) By the use of a quantity of dyna
mite and the aid of a squad of men. La
fayette Bcott, a farmer residing on the
Iowa bottoms, has succeeded In solving the
flood problem, which has for several days
been threatening to ruin his corn crop,
a wen as those of other farmer adjoin
lng hi premise. The trouble was caused
by the overflowing of Keg creek, which
flooded 600 acre of corn the water In the
field being from one to three feet In
depth. The creek finally subsided, but the
problem of how to force the water from
the fields Into the creek was a hard on
to solve. In view of the fact that the
levee prevented the water from flowing
back into the channel. Seeing no other
way out of the difficulty, Mr. Scott and
others procured a large quantity of dyna
mite and blew a hole through the levee.
In this way all the surplus surface water
was drained from the fields, leaving them
practically high and dry and In a fair
way to yield abundant crops. It Is est!
mated that Mr. Scott' enterprise ' has
saved him and hts neighbor something
like $10,000.

HATS CITT, Kan.. Sept. 10. (Special.)
Where Custer camped, l,C00 feet above the
level of the sea, just before he started on
his campaign against the Cheyennes and
Kiowas In 1845, three crops of alfalfa have
been cut this summer. Two years sgo
this same parcel of land had been pre
empted by prairie dogs. The prairie dogs
were exterminated by the surest method,
the careful use of wheat and strychnine.
The 7,000 acres surrounding the former
Custer camp and prairie dog town con
stituted the old Fort Hay military reser
vation. When the government abandoned
this reservation It became the property of
the state of Kansas. The land ,1s high.
It Is likewise dry. It Is no better and no
worse than the millions of other acres In
the semi-arid belt. Kansas on one-half
of this tract has established, with the aid
of the government, an experimental sta
tion. The other half Is given over to a
state normal school, which thrives In the
seml-arld region as well as in sections
more favored.
rime has passed when even the railroad
companies want to Induce people to come
to a section of country Ignorant of the
conditions. That plan was tried In the
early eighties. Almost every quarter-section
of land In western Kansas and Ne
braska once hud a homesteader on It.
Millions of dollars were expended In
towns which were abandoned before the
nineties. It was a losing experiment all
around. The homesteaders returned to
their former homes to give the country
an even worse reputation than it deserved
from an agricultural view-point. The
eastern money lenders who had been de
ceived are still unwilling to risk their
money at a per cent which permits It to
be utilized at a profit Broadly speaking,
the whole seml-arld region acquired a rep
utation from which recovery has been
slow. For these reasons extravagant
statements are deprecated by every per
son who Is sensibly concerned In the pos
sible development of the seml-arld west
Its Improvement is not solely a question
of Irrigation. There are Involved the
modern methods of farming and the In
troduction of drouth-resisting- crops.
Grasses which will grow where buffalo
and mesqulte grass has been grazed to
death are given fully as much thought as
new varieties of wheat or corn. '
Poor Year for Experiment.,
Irrigation for western Kansas and Ne
braska and eastern Colorado Is largely a
problem of the use of wells. The tremen
dously big fund which is available for Irri
gation under the new act will be expended
on government projects where reservoirs
can be constructed and the water from
streams diverted. The group of states In
this section must proceed slowly snd prove
their case a they go. The accepted scheme
of Irrigation Is not for them. The present
has not been a good year for contrasting
crops grown by Irrigation from wells and
those where nature has supplied the mois
ture. In Ellis county, where the average
rainfall for the entire year averages some
thing like twenty inches, more than ten-
ty-one inches of rain have already fallen,
This rain: came, too, at a time when the
crops neeled It A a result two hundred
acre of wheat on the experiment farm at
Hay City averaged thirty bushels to the
acre. Cabbages grew and tomatoes, too.
Altogether It waa a most profitable year for
the farmer. But those who have been in
the country for years and shared In the
fat years, as well as In the lean, know full
well that a rainfall so heavy and so hap
pily distributed may not come again for a
decade. The story of the crops which were
raised this year, therefore, forms no basis
for a comparison.
What Is of importance, however, Is the
object-lesson the experiment station af
fords. In perhaps the best year for rain
fall which this section has known the Irri
gated crops are fully 60 per cent better
than those which Were not irrigated. Even
the best rainfall which is known In this
section Is not sufficient for much of the
garden products. Almost everything which
is raised In a garden anywhere can be
grown by irrigation In western Kansas.
What is true of these garden products
is also true of the smaller fruits. This
fact has been proved by testing al
most every vegetable known to the best
city markets of the east It only remains
to be shown whether the conditions at
Hays City are the average conditions which
could be found elsewhere in the tremen
dously large counties pf Wallace, Graham
and Logan In Kansas, and counties which
correspond to them In elevation and cli
matic conditions la Nebraska.
It is yet to be determined whether Ir
rigation by wells will pay for the staple
crops. For all the smaller crops there
seems to be no doubt about the financial
success where an adequate water supply
from wells can be obtained. Those who
are conversant with the conditions In
eastern Colorado and western Kansas and
Nebraska are agreed that there are hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land which
correspond In all essential respects to the
4.000 acres on which tests are now being
made at the Hays City station.
Wells for Irrigation.
A amall stream. Big Creek, flows through
the old Fort Hays reservation. Three
wells have been already found which sup
ply enough water to Irrigate several hun
dred acres. The well from which the
most elaborate teats have been made has
a flow of 250 gallons to the minute. Water
waa found here at a depth of thirty-eight
feet, which la two feet lower than the
bed of Big creek. Water has been found
at a satisfactory flow at a depth of twenty-five
feet la other parts of the reserva
tion. The Irrigation plant Is In Itself a most
simple establishment. J. O. Haney, the
superintendent caused a well to be dug
thirteen feet In diameter. For one well
a reservoir has been built, which would
permit of the continuous use of a small
pumping engine If one were - necessary.
No reservoir has been constructed for the
well thirteen feet la diameter. The water
Is pumped directly from the well by an
ordinary traction engine of twelve horse
power. A stationary gasoline engine of
smaller horse-power would answer every
purpose where fuel was costly, but the
only cost of coal at the experiment station
Is that of transportation. The coal Is
mined by the convicts at the penitentiary
ana snippea 10 me experiment station.
Wherever a stream similar to Big creek
can be found wells can be sunk which will
make Irrigation possible. Is the conclusion
reached by Superintendent Haney and E.
a. Tate of the national government's Irri
gation bureau. What can be done In sec
tions of the seml-arld district through
which no small streams run Is a problem to
be tested. That the work of making- these
tests will be pushed can be relied upon, be
cause the Department of Agriculture la be
oome very deeply interested in the mat
ter, and. In fast It was that department
which planned the tests now being made
with a great measure of success at Hays
City, Just at the present Urn no new
work at other point ha been definitely
decided upon, but presently tests will be
made with wells further back from running
streams. If these tests result favorably. It
Is not Impossible that the attention of the
federal government may be turned ns
sharply toward Irrigation from well cn a
large scale as It Is now turned toward Ir
rigation by the construction of dams.
FIRE RECORD.
Three Balldlngs at Crab Orchard.
TECUM8EH. Neb., Sept. 10.-(Ppeclsl
Telegram.) The village of Crab Orchard,
this county, suffered from a fire at an
early hour this morning. Three buildings

carriages were saved, but the building de
stroyed. Riley Jones' windmill and pump
house, also frame, and its contents, waa
a total loss and was not Insured. At the
alley the fire was stopped after a hard
fight, but had H proceeded further the
lumber yard of Bailey & Crlssey would
have taken fire and then that part of the
town would have been In danger. The town
Is without proper fire protection and the
bucket brigade rendered splendid service.
The origin of the fire Is not known.

NO RADICAL LAW EXPECTED
Senator Beveridgs Hakes an Address at
Indiana Bankers' Convention.
CONGRESS NOT, LIKELY TO DO MUCH
He Says the Eastern and Western
Bankers Bhoald 1'nlt to Keep
Cnrrency of Conntry In
Proper Channel.
SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Bept. 10. The sev
enth annual convention of the Indiana
bankers was addressed today by United
States Senator Beverldge.
Senator Beverldge has but recently re
turned from a visit with the president at
Oyster Bay and his positive assertions with
regard to the action of the coming session
of congress were given the more weight.
Senator Beveridgi seld In part:
The coming session of congress will not
enact any radical or sweeping financial
legislation. Except In great emergencies
moderation Is the word In all financial leg
islation. The stability of financial legisla
tion, even though Imperfect, is more desir
able than sudden and comprehensive
changes, even though these changes are
toward greater perfection.
Some moderate financial legislation which
will relieve the periodically recurring
money stringency In the money center Is
probably desired and mav be enacted. But
such legislation, if enacted, will be simple
In its nature and Will not disturb or alarm
the business Interests of the country. No
legislation Is possible at the coming ses
sion of congress which will radically affect
our entire currency system and cause the
business world to pause In our present
prosperity until It Is seen how such legis
lation is going to work.
Malntennnce of Credit.
The maintenance of credit Is the only
frreat financial question and always must
ie. Credit is only another name for con
fidence. Confidence la preserved by rea
sonably permanent adjustment of business
to any given lines of financial and com
mercial policy more than by all other
things.
I do not mean that there should not be
gradual changes In all of our business laws,
as these laws here and there become out of
date. But 1 do mean that It Is better for
business to steadily adhere to some settled
line of policy than to suddenly and rad
ically change It. Our whole financial and
industrial legislation should be steady and
not spasmodic.
Within banking circles themselves, all
contention should cease. There Is no nat
ural antagonism between eastern and west
ern bankers. Naturally their interests are
the same. Bankers, east and west, are the
servants of a single people, under a single
flag. If western bankers when they do not
need their money make loans to the cus
tomers of New York bankers, for example,
as Is universally done, and when they re
ceive their money again take It away and
require the entire financial necessities of
business In the east to be borrowed for
eastern bankers whose territory they have
Invaded, western bankers should not object
to a measure which will relieve the local
eastern stringency which the western
bankors themselves have caused.
Shonld Be Mutual Consideration.
On the contrary, the eastern bankers
should not Invade the territory of western
bankers when eastern money Is plenty and
thus invite reprisals in their own fields by
the western bankers. There should be mu
tual consideration, each section taking care
of the financial necessities of Its people as
long as It has the money to do so, and ie
lieving the necessities of another section
only whenever they ere not able to take
care of themselves. There never was a
period when the tide of prosperity has
risen so high as now; and its highest point
is not yet reached.
But upon the shoulders of the bankers of
the country, more than upon any one set of
business men. depends the continuance of
this fortunate condition. If without reason
the bankers indulge In vague apprehensions
they will themselves bring about the very
thing which they fear.
If the bankers begin to exercise cowardice
Instead of nrudencc; If without any reason
except timidity they begin to contract their
loans and reduce their credits that con

We Cure Impotency
"We make no misleading statements or unbusinesslike propositions
to the afflicted, neither do we promise a cure In a few dnys in order to
oecure their patronage, but we guarantee a perfect, safe mid laBtlng
cure In the quickest possible time, without leaving injurious after-effects
In the system, and at the lowest possible cost for honest, skillful and
successful services."
If you are a victim of Nervo-Sexual De
bility, with all its distressing symptoms,
you certainly do not Intend to remain so.
You have only one life to live. The fact
that you have taken Inferior remedies to
no avail should not destroy your faith in
all treatment, nor your hope of a rational
cure. I have evolved a special treatment
for Nervo-Sexual Debility that Is uniformly
successful in cases where success was be
fore and by other doctors deemed Impos
sible. It does not stimulate temporarily,
but restores permanently. It allays the Ir
ritation of the delicate tissues surrounding
the lax and unduly expanded seminal ducts,
contracting them to their normal condition,
which stops night emissions, dries up day
drains, and prevents prematureness. It
tones up and strengthens the blood vessels
that varry nourishment to the weakened
parts, which regain full power, sise and
vigor. Meanwhile all other symptoms im
prove, and the patient realises that a great
blight has been lifted from his life. 1 also
cure quickly, safely and thoroughly
Stricture, Varicocele, Emission, Impotency, Blood
Poison, Syphilis, Rectal, Kidney
. and Urinary Diseases,
and all diseases and weaknesses of men due to inheritance, evil habits, excesses
cr the result of specific diseases.
