(From a BUff Correspondent.) '
LINCOLN. Aug. ai-Bpeolal.r-Dnn Patch,
the world's fastest pacar, went a mile
sgalnst time thle afternoon at the atata
air grounds In 1:06, Just a half aecond
faster than ha went at the Iowa state fair
and Just two seconds slower than hla own
record on a half mile track.
The time by quartera was: First, 02;
second, thlrd: 0:31; fourth, 0:10.
The race was down a solid lane of people
that extended, around the track and was
witnessed by a crowd estimated to . be as
large as that of yesterday. It was-a gret
performance and when the Judges an
nounced the lime tho crowd went wild with
enthusiasm- for the horse and Its driver.
Dan Patch was driven by H. T3. Hersey and
was paced by his running; mate. Cobweb,
driven by Chart Plumber. There was ho
automobile to lend excitement as In the
case of Creceus, but there wa plenty of
excitement. The Uttle animal aeemed not
to touch his feet to the ground so grace
fully and so smoothly did lie sail around
the track. There waa not a bobble' nor a
hitch. He - was as cool aa an old work
horse when he begat, and he showed no
loncern when the people gathered around
it the finish.
Before the final trial Pan Patch was
riven three or four warming up heats and
every one of them erected the greatest
enthusiasm, j He went faster and faster
and on the last mile he came around like
a perfect machine, showing little or no
' exertion.
The aoe' waa a I; 4 q'clock, but three hours
before ' that time the grand stand was
filled, but unlike yesterday, there was lit
tle complaint made while the people were
waiting for the appearance of the home.
The 1 races were unusually good and the
I starting showed a, wonderful Improvement
over yesterday. Every finish was a close
one arfi the winning horses In every race
were given ovations.
This waa fraternal day on the grounds
md ' though this fact waa overshadowed
by li being also Dan Patch day, there were
tiany lodge members present The com
petitive drill was won by Modern Wood
man camp No. 130 of Omaha, Captain Mar
tin. The drill, .however, waa only particl-
eted In by this lodge and Bonnie Doon
No. too. Royal Highlanders, Lincoln, Cap
lain Ollderaleeve. The winners get a purse
it 1100, while 'the losers get $75. As a purse
f $300 was , hung: uq and' owing to the
fact that no more teams competed $128 will
revert to the fair management. Much dis
appointment was expressed that more
teams did not compete,' but it la said that
the i -two teams named . arc semi-prof es
lonals and other teams In the state felt
' J.hat it would be. useless to compete with
them. (, i .
The attendance today waa 26,173 of which
17,000 were paid admissions. The total ad
missions yesterday waa 26,488. The receipts
for yesterday In cash as reported by Treas
urer E. Mclntyre were S9.281.2S, as against
S8.80t.s0 for 1803. This does not Include what
' is to be paid for railroad coupons.

This was visitors' day at the state rsapitol
nd-tUe, ofqaraat th state house, were
' Jcept busy all the time showing curious
sightseers from over the state the wonders
of the big building. V- . . .,
" Treasurer Mortensen with the first office
in the east and west corridor, gets the
crowds first and shows oft the burglar
alarm to a favored few. Then comas the
office of the secretary of state and the
governor.' The latter official has been prac
ticing with a grip machine, it is said. In
preparing for the event, and he now dis
penses handshakes at a famoua rate an
hour, looking after his voluminous mail
In the meantime... The governor has a grip
that gives the visitor all klnda of pleasant
visions. Superintendent Fowler comes next
In the number of visitors, and he, too,
runs the crowd through the handshaking
mill with the greatest possible facility, and
' all the while carrying on a propoganda for
the Improvement of the rural schools, and
the consolidation of districts where they are
too poor to Improve.
, Adjutant General Culver, In addition to
the handshake, has an exhibition of war
relics, which draws the visitors. ' He has
. given .every facility for the display of a
large number of war relics closely asso
ciated with the early Jilstory of the state.
Norrls Brown, who Is soon to be called
"general" for short, also held an informal
, levee in the apartments of the attorney

: utmost in making It pleasant for the out-of-town
people, (e dome la still a su

t M titration os the lacreaee.
There are 463 cases to go on the supreme
court docket for the September term. This
is tweitty-three more than the number of
', cases on the docket for the September
term last year, and proves conclusively
) that the litigation In the supreme court
. Inatead of falling off Is Increasing at a
famous rata. With this great Increase la
the number of cases which must be dia-
,' posed of, there .-is ft .prospect of another
glut'tfuch as that which existed three years
ago when it took the average litigant
from two to three' years to have his ease
determined in the supreme court. The slt-
, Matlon Is already causing speculation
among lawyers who have supreme court
. practice. ' ,
Mr. Lindsay announced today that this
' la the last, day for filing cases desired
'. to go on the . docket . for the September
term. At noon 4dS cases were ort file to
go oa thai docket. Because of the necessity
of getting out the docket without delay
for the first -eutlng of the court, which
takes place September M, and also be
cause of the very large number of cases
he deems It Inexpedient to wait longer.
Cksee filed after today wV.l have to go on
Ihe VKnuary docket. .' (
The court Is greatly hampered by the
necessity of hearing motions for rehear
ing In nearly every case on' the dockets.
Lltlsaata Ga the Limit.
"Litigation has changed greatly In the
last fifteen years," said Clerk Lindsay to
dsy. 'Then mojlons for rehearing were In
frequent, but iow they are filed In nearly
every case and their determination places
a very heavy burden upon the court, with
the result that the work of disposing of
each case la almost doubled. The hearing
of motions and their consideration all fal a
to ths court, so that the Judges and their
capacity for the disposition of cases Is
greatly redifced.
The old condition when the court docket
was crowded with litigation caused an
enormous lot of dissaUsfactlon with the
court because of the long delays in the
settlement of sulU. and the threat of a
renewal of those difficulties will probably
lead the legislature to consider anew the
problem of avoiding the great Increase
In the number of eases hanging fire. The
most likely solution will be an Increase In
the number of commissioners from three
to nine, unless the people at the forth
coming election vote for a constitutional
convention, whloh would permit of changes
in the organic law to provide for an in
crease in the number of Judges to five or
seven. This would enable the state to do
without commissioners, since it Is claimed
that a Judge on the bench will do much
more work, and accomplish It more ex
peditiously than a commissioner, who Is
In theory a superior sort of a private clerk.
Such an amendment would carry with It
a provision for an Increased salary, but
the whole expense, it Is claimed, will not
be larger than that Incurred for nine com
missioners and three Judges, the number
needed to cope successfully with litigation
at the rate It Is coming in now."
Watsoa ta Speak la State.
Announcement Was made today by the
populist state central committee that Pres
idential Candidate Watson had been se
cured to make four speeches In the state
during the campaign. All of these are to
be made state gatherings, with barbecues,

SUTHERLAND. Neb., Aug. .31. (Special.)
There waa excitement galore at a recent
meeting Of the Missionary society. While
the women were Industriously engaged a
monster snake laslly strolled Into the room
and hlaaed a greeting. Feminine echeeches
promptly wafted ceillngward. Hla snake
ship showed little perturbation at this
rather Informal manner of greeting and
curled himself up on the floors
' There appears to be a slight difference of
opinion ss to what followed. However, It
seems that one of the members made a mo
tion to the effect that someone be dele
gated aa a committee of one to persuade
the Intruder to withdraw. The motion was
eagerly seconded by all present, and the
nake yawned and ran out Its forked
tongue. But nobody seemed Inclined to ac
cept the honor of serving on the commlt-
Ltee and the clock ticked on.
The day was waning slowly, so was ths
fortitude of the besieged. Something had
to be done. After a season of parliament
ary law the decision was reached that If
the Missionary society was , rescued the
Missionary society must perform the feat.
There were a few preliminaries, then fol
lowed a charge. When the"'amoke of bat
tle" rolled away he waa found dead. A
rocking chair had landed ' amidships, aa
well as a woman's sandal upon his brow.
The only task remaining waa to clear away
the signs of conflict and measure the de

Judge Munger yesterday sustained the
motion of Attorney C. J. Smyth to dismiss
for contempt all those strikers who had
not been Identified and who have not been
cited to appear. But the court refused to
Include in this list Stephen Vail and George
Stephena, strike leaders. The court fur
ther said: r .
"Those who have not been identified and
who have not voluntarily appeared we have
nothing to do with. ThlAV being an order
to show cause, we have no Jurisdiction by
merely filing a complaint against those not
cited to appear and who did not voluntarily
appear."
In this connection Mr. Smyth moved the
discharge of Robert Booth, W. Chanler, O.
Como, Ed Carlson. John Erlcon. Qorge

Henry, Julius Hoffman. Patrick Jordan,
Eric Johnson, Jacob Jabouskl.-Albert John

Parsons, Ed Peterson. Oscar Reed, Frana
RattJ, John Reddy, Charles Servant, Joe
Slock, Joe Nevant. Tony Vanfola, jonn
Wolf and E. J. or E. L. Williams.
The discharge of these men was asked
because they had not been identified by
anyone. They are Included In the list of
eighty-eight summoned with Stephen Vail
and others. Ths men were thereupon dis
charged by the court. ' i
The hearing was resumed, with Thomas
Crelgh, the general attorney for the Cud
ahy Packing company, being the only wit
ness examined. He testified merely to the
incidents of July 25 and 16, when the car
of colored men. and' three cars of white
workers were Intercepted by the strikers.
Crelsrh Bees He Vloleaee.
'I saw no violence then,": ne said.
"Neither did I see any person struck or
Injured by the strikers. I saw one man
pleading to be let alone."
The witness assisted in a way to identify
certain of the strikers upon whom writs
might be served by the United States mar
shals. He said, further:
The strikers were really more excited
than violent. I saw groups of pickets, as
supposed, stationed at various points
about South Omaha. I do not know that
tl.ey were strikers. I merely thought thera
to be." -
The prosecution here rested. "This Is our
case," said General Cowln.
A -recess was taken to this afternoon.
when the first witness for the defense will
be Introduced.
'We will not call Mr. Vail or Mr. Kte-
phens- until the last." said Mr. Smyth, In
response to an Inquiry as to when rhey
would be put on the stand.
tephea Vail i Still Held.
Yesterday afternoon was the first Inning
for the defense In the strike contempt
cases before Judge Munger In the United
States circuit court. '
After some formal discussion relative' to
the discharge of a' number of the parties
cited and the comparison of lists and names
by attorneys for both packers and strikers,
Mr. Smyth moved the formal discharge of
Stephen Vail and George 'Stephens, '"as
there was no evidence' to show that either
of them were guilty nor that tended to
show that they were guilty of violation
of the restraining order ss charged in the
original or amended petition of the com
plainants filed in this proceeding."
Judge Munger overruled the motlor. '
The first witness for the defense, William
Kaln, was then called. The entire after
noon was spent In the examination of this
witness. He denied emphatically that he
had taken any part In the proceeding of
July 26, when the colored men were re
moved from the freight car. and denied
that he was In South Omaha on July 26.
He had been served with a copy of the In
junction, but had not been served with a
citation to show cause. Kaln was sub
jected to a rigid cross-examination by Gen
eral Cowln, but his testimony could not be
shaken.
This hearing waa adjourned to 1:34 thla
morning.
Joha Hiekey Boaad Over.
John Hlckey waa bound over to the fed
eral grand jury by United States Commis
sioner Anderson. Though not a striker, he
is charged with assaulting and forcibly
pulling one Ed. Roddy, a mute, from a
street car In South .Omaha August 4.
Roddy claimed to be an employe of one of
the pocking houses, and waa en route to
his work, when the jissault occurred.
Hlckey was tried before Judge Munger,
with John Homley and Dan Dady. for ths
same offense,, but was discharged, ns that
cour-t held that It had no Jurisdiction over
H .ckey, as he was not a striker, hence did
not come within tbe inhibition of the in
junction order, and was not amenable for
cor.umpt of court. Hlckey'a case conse
quently was shifted to the United fitates
corimlssloner's court as a criminal caj.

adjustment. One prominent member of the
switchmen said last night that even at
the best it would take a week or ten days
to call the men here out. The railroad
men here, he said, are not connected In
any way with the packers' strike and as
long .as they had no grievance it will take
an order from the grand lodge to abrogate
the contracts now In existence. Such action
by the grand lodge la not considered prob
able. All of the packers claimed to have taken
in a number -of old men Wednesday and
some, new ones that came down from
Omaha on the street cars. Generally
speaking the packers declared last night
that Wednesday was the best day they
had had since the strike commenced. More
men were at work and fewer men quit
than on any day since July U. None of the
packers here look for any trouble In the
railroad yards. They do not think that the
strike will spread to the switchmen or to
the yard crews.
Everything was quiet at labor headquar
ters last evening. No news other than that
published lri the late evening papers had
been received by the leaders here. All of
the strikers still have eyes on Chicago
and are hoping that the next move of
President Donnelly will bring about an
honorable settlement. The men here still
appear to be confident of success, but look
for an early sett'ement. No supplies
were furnished by the relief store yester
day, but the promise Is held out that a
fresh consignment of groceries Is due to
arrive soon.
Tha deputy sheriffs and police had little
to do yesterday afternoon and last night,
as there was no sign of disorder among
the strikers. ','.. '

and two In tha vicinity. At these plants
the slaughtering Is' not extensive enough
to amount to a great deal. The men work.
Ing In these slaughter houses said last
evening that they would keep on working
as long as there was work for them. Some
of the butchers in these houses say they
are union men and others declare they
are not. Should tbe call become effective
here not over a dosea men would be
compelled to stop work, .
Whll the talk of calling out independent
butchers at other points called a flurry
of excitement here for a moment, this
soon subsided when , union men com
menced to figure what a small percentage
of s'-aughterlng la done here by the In
dependent houses. ' Two of these Independ
ent houses were In operation long before
the strike started and prepared meat and
sold the same to .a certain claas of trade.
Thla trade, the Independents say, will be
taken care of Just the same.
More . than usual Interest was mani
fested when news oame from Chicago that
President Donnelly expected to call .out
the switchmen and others sl the motive
power departments of the railroads that
handle packing housaproducts. Along In
the afternoon there were rumors that tbe
switchmen were going to quit and leave
tha usual trains of packing house products

Levies Mlalmam Slace Yoanff Striker
Admits Ills Gallt.
George Jensen, a striker, was fined $5 and
coeta by Judge VlneonhaJer In the county
court on the charge of disturbing the
peace. Although he is but 18 years of age
and haa been compelled to remain away
from school for nearly half that time to
help support tha family, the prisoner dis
played ability in defending himself. He
waa 'arrested a week ago Tuesday by Dep
uty Thomas J. Ross.
"I was talking with some other young
fellow at the ! time," said Jensen. "Ross
and some other deputies came along and
we made a few remarks about them among
ourselves. Those special officers are always
looking for a chance to run somebody In,
so they grabbed us."
"How old are you?" asked the court.
"Eighteen." replied the defendant
"Did you work in the packg houses be
fore the strike?" queried Judge Vinson
haler. "I have worked around them for over
eight years," wae the answer. "Outside of
a little that I have kept for spending money
I have always taken my wages home to
help the family."
"You are guilty according to your . own
admissions," remarked the court, "but 14
think you are a good, hard-working boy
and only did wrong through the rashness
of youth. I hate to fine you, but am com
pelled to do so under the law. However,
I will make It as light aa possible.
"The strike cannot be won by violence
and you union men should do all you can
to preserve the peace. Every lnfracfion of
the law on your part alienates sympathy
from you and Injures your cause."
Jensen did not have the money So pay
the fine, but It was raised among his
friends.
