BAD WEATHER FOR THE FAIR
Bain Keeps Grow da Away Opening Day,
but Exhibitor Improve the Time.
DAN PATCH THE CENTER OF INTEREST
Few Are Favored with a fight of the
Great Paeer, bat Maar Watch the
tall la Hope of Catching
a Glimpse af Him.
(From a Staff Correspondent.) '
. LINCOLN, Aug. . The Nebraska Btate
fair opened thla morning under condltiona
anything but favorable to a record-breaking
Hrat Jay. The rain of laat night, and
threata of rain nearly all day, kept many
way from the ground who otherwise
would have gone out The abaence of a
large crowd, however, gave exhibitors and
others a better opportunity to get their
work finished, and when the crowd begins
to arrive tomorrow almost everything will
be Id good shape.
Today there was nothing special doing,
though a few of the side shows opened up
and put out their spielers, while Ilage
now's band gave a concert. The center of
attraction, however, was the stall In which
Dan Patch, the famous pacer, Is housed.
The stall was the center of attraction, for
only a few favored ones were allowed to
enter and look at his excellency. The stall
was kept darkened with blankets and at
tendants cautioned the crowd to keep quiet
on the outside, for the mighty animal
liked not to be disturbed by the clatter of
the populace. Occasionally an attendant
moved one of the white carts which the
crowd took for a signal that the mighty
Dan was to show himself and the waiting
game was taken uj- with renewed Interest.
Was not Dan Patct really a great horse
and the awed manner In which the crowd
stood around . his stall would have been
ludicrous. The crowd acted as one would
Imagine a crowd Would act while standing
at the cradle of the csar's nw heir.
Transportation facilities to and from the
grounds are ample and the crowd will be
well handled. So fast was the Burlington
this morning' In. lining up a. return train
that the rear car bumped Into the tool
shed at the station, after tearing out a
panel of fence. . The ateps of the car were
also demolished.
. Plenty of Amusements.
The fair Is' not the only entertainment
In Lincoln this week, .other amusement
Offerings being so numerous that visitors
may take, their choice. The Grace Hay
ward company' is holding forth at the
Oliver, another company Is doing business
at the Auditorium, a street carnival com
' pany Is at Market square and the rest
of the space on the streets not otherwise
appropriated is set apart for the use of
hand organs and such like, and these are
here with a vengeance. '
A few members of the band which la
with the company at the Auditorium
created some amusement while playing on
the streets this afternoon by being the
principals In an accident that might have
resulted seriously, but did not. The band
members, dressed v In . the garb of tho
"molest rubes," occupied a hayrack . on
a wagon and, besides , entertaining the
crowd -with their music, did a few clown
acts. In rounding a corner the front board
fell down and dropped the bandmaster and
his baton. He struck the bottom of the
rack with sufficient force to knock down
two more players in the rear. None of
the players was Injured, though the muslo
was safely out of harmony for some min
utes. v
One of the exhibits li the flsh display
is an "Albino" catfish discovered and
caught In the Platte river , by "Nlpk" Car
V" V gme;'warden. .' The 'fish Is' pure
white and has pink eyes. Nick named the
fish himself. The fish Is not In the best
Of health. .
. In the agricultural exhibit of the uni
versity there are on display 200 varieties
of grass, natural and tame. Thla Informa
tion was given out by the board of man
agers for the benefit of the state of Geor
gia, which recently claimed at St. Louis
to have more varieties of grasses than
any stcte In the union.
i Tomorrow is expected to be the great day
Of the fair, for in, tho afternoon at 1 o'clock
Dan Patch Is to make his race against his
reoord.
"- Barker Gets Stay of Execution.
Prank Barker, convicted of the murder
of his brother and his brother's wife, will
not be hanged next Friday, the day set
for his execution. Judge H. O. Hamer
this afternoon filed a petition in error In
support of an appeal to the supreme court,
and this In Itself acts as a atay without
the orders of any of the Judges. Clerk
Lindsay at once Issued an order to War
den Beemer to stop the execution. The
case is liable to be In the supreme court
for many months before final action Is
taken.
Barker, at his own request, haa been
working while In the penitentiary and ap
parently haa been unconcerned about the
execution.
Teaehera Hold Joint Institute.
Osvaty and city teaehera began a Joint
Institute In the auditorium of the high
achool building this morning which will
continue for several days. Owing to a mis
understanding of the date of the opening,
It having been announced to occur tonight.

FINANCIAL SIDE OF STRIKE
Packing House Controversj Oosta County
Sixteen Thousand Dollars to Date.
MOST OF THIS FOR SPECIAL DEPUTIES
Board of Cosamissloaera Haa Rat Yet
Fixed Wage of These Mrs Who .
Want Two-Fifty a
Day.
The packing house strike, based on a
rough estimate furnished 'at the office of
Sheriff Power, has thus far cost the county
close to 816,000 for special deputies. This
sum is considerably augmented by other
expenses Incurred in the administration of
justice, and the public will havs to meet
all the bills.
The strike has been on for sevea weeks
and during that time the sheriff-has main
tained a special force that haa averaged
about 130 men for every day that the
trouble has been in existence. At times It
haa exceeded that number, while on other
occasions the posse has fallen below that
quota, through the medium of the weeding
out process that has been carried on by
the rheriff to get rid of Incompetents.
"This Is an enonious expense," said
Jailer James Roach, "but it has been ab
solutely necessary. As soon as the strike
Is ended the sheriff will drop the whole
crowd. Hs may keep some of them for a
day or two after the trouble ends, but they
will all be let out as soon as matters at
South Omaha resume their normal condi
tions and the police there are able to cope
with the situation."
The county board has not yet fixed the
compensation of the extra deputies, but it
It generally understood that they will get
$2.60 per day. When the troutiie first be
gan It was decided to pay the officers $2 per
day, but It was almost impossible to get
anybody to serve for that sum and the
action of the board was rescinded, leavlug
the matter open.
Vnlon Men Quietly Waiting;.
All union men are. still waiting for news
from Chicago, where a settlement of the
packing house strike is expected to be
made almost any time. No news of any
importance was received at labor head
quarters last night, but the strikers ap
peared hopeful and look for tidings today.
Just what kind of a settlement may be
reached the union men here do not say,
but tho expectation is that all union men
will be returned to work just as rapidly
as needed and that, aside from unskilled
labor, the unions will be recognised..
When news came from Chicago last even
ing that the packers had met and had
formulated a message to President Don
nelly to the effect that tho strike was
over and that there was nothing to arbi
trate or confer about, the union men gath
ered at headquarters did not give credence
to the report and departed for their homes
believing that there would still be an
agreement suitable to all concerned.
Packing house managers at South Omaha
had nothing special to sny last night. Thev
merely repeated telegrams from Chicago
giving the synopsis of 'the message re
ported to have been sent to President Don
nelly. The packers hero say that they
have all of the men they need at present
and that as far as they are concerned the
strike Is over. When asked regarding the
return of the old men to former positons
the statement Is made that they have all
the men they need Just now and are not
going out . of their "way to get, additional
help.
Strikers Deny Rnmors.
At some of the packing houses the .state
ment was made- that applications, for em
ployment had been made by old men. but
that but few had been given place. These
reports are not given any attention at labor
headquarters as the statement ' is made
that none of the men now on strike have
gone back to work.
One of the labor leaders said last night
that South Omaha lane of the strongest
union cities ln the co ntry, and that the
men are standing together and propose
to Btlck until the strike is declared off.
"Reports of our men going back to work,''
said a leader, "are being circulated ln order
to causeva break In our ranks. Wo such
break will occur and the packers here need
not look for it. Our men will stay for the
finish." .
On account of the peaceable condition of
affalfi, Sheriff Power Is discharging a few
me each day. He Is removing the depu
ties who are not considered worth the
money, and also the men who are known
to visit saloons while on duty. There was
no trouble last night In getting out the
regular dummy train. This train went to
Omaha with nine coaches, loaded, and the
expectation Is that ten cars will be hauled
down this morning,, as the new men from
other packing points are reported to be
arriving dally to take the places of those
discharged or who quit work of their own
accord.
Chief Brlggs still has ten deputy sheriffs
to assist his force at night, and these ex
tras will be kept- on Just as long as the
sheriff deems their services necessary.
The strikers' relief .store was not opened
Monday, but the promise was made that
the store would furnish supplies to those
needing provisions today.
STRIKERS EX JOINED NO , VIOLENCE
Cautioned Picket, Who Tarns Strike
Breaker Told to Keep the Law.
The third week of the strike rlals began
In the United States circuit court yesterday
morning before Judge Munger, rlth the
witness T. W. Jenree on the stand. The
entire morning was consumed In his evi
dence and cross-examination. The cross
examination waa extremely rigid and he
witness was unshaken In his testimony ex
cept In a few minor particulars. .
The motive of his turning against the
strikers, after being a picket, decoy and
spy for them for nearly four weeks, was
stated by himself:
"I had gone to work at Armour's, and
after working there three days I was. called
out by the strike committee of the Packing;
Trades council at the direction of Mr.
Archerd and reported to headquarters. In
a conversation with Mr. Vail and other
I waa charged with' being a scab at heart.
My family waa sick and I had to do some
thing for its support. I waa told If I did
not quit work at Armour's I would loa
my head. I went back to work and have
been working there since. I have been
assaulted three times and drew a knife
upon my assailants, but received no per
sonal violence at their hands."
The witness further testified that In all
his conversations with Mr. Vsll, Mr. Ste
phens and Mr. Archerd he had, while act
ing as a striker, been cautioned to keen
within the law, refrain from violence and
observe the spirit of the Injunction.
"Mr. Vail said to me," he continued,
"when we were talking about the Injunc
tion, that his hands were tied and he re
ferred to Mr. Archerd. I waa not per
sonally served with the Injunction prder,
though I knew of It. Mr. Vail at all times

The final question asked the witness at
tho morning session by Mr. Smyth was.
"Are you not regarded by the strikers as a
traitor and spy?" The witness replied:
"I do not know anything about It, or how
I am regarded by them."
Jenree va further cross-examined by
Mr. Smyth, with nothing material devel
oping. Ho was given a short redirect ex
amination by Mr. Mahoney to straighten
out one or two entanglements he got him
self into.
Several other witnesses, including United
States Marshal Matthews, were examined
In reference -to the serving of notices of
the injunction order and the identification
of the parties served.
Harry Toft was given a preliminary
hearing before United States Commissioner
Anderson Monday afternoon on the charge
of alleged assault upon a trio of women
and girl employes of Swift's, by throwing
stones at them on the evening of August
