A broad Smile that has matured into
a genuine and hearty "horselaugh" is
Tolling across the state tbis week over
the efforts of a frenzied democratic
newspaper at Omaha to defend Candi
dite Aryan's accumulation of a fortune
while pretending to fight the battles
of tbe poor and downtrodden. The
frenzied journal admits tbe accumula
tion by Candidate Bryan of an "im
mense private fortune" but says in de
fense of the perennial candidate, "he
has earned this with clean hauds," and
therein lies the humor that has cansed
tae broad and vociferous guffaw which
is rolling aoross the state. Most Ne
braskans, whose hearing is not serious
ly Impaired, have long labored under
tbe impression that. Candidate Bryan
"earned" his competence with his
mouth instead ef bis bands on a strict
percentage of the "gate receipts."
"Money, money, give me money to
elect myself to the presidency," seems
td have beoome the burden of dandi
date Bryan's song on every possible oc
casion. Not only was bis notification
address on August 12th thoroughly
impregnated with "oampaigo contribu
tion" talk but his consultations with
party managers before and after that
event, as reported by all newspaper
men, were 08 per cent on the subject
of getting money or.t of the people to
;pend in his oaropaigu. Oonidering
uat Candidate Bryan's private for
tune is ten thousand times larger than
that of the1 average man whom he asks
' Ho contribute the question of tbe pro
prietf of these insistent appeals for
imoaey is rapidly peroolating the dom
ino mind and suggestions' that
Jandidats Bryan pay some of the
.freight on himself is heard from demo-
cratiosouroes.
Democratio politicians and newspa
p rs are never quite happy nnless en
gaged in misrepresentation. Just now
bath ate busr trying to oonvione the
farmer that bis land assessment is high
while the assessment of railway prop
erties have not been advanced under
the new revenue law, thus giving the
farmer the worst of it. Nothing is
farther from tbe truth as tbe oflioial
reeords will sbow. The last valuation
of t ie railway! in Nebraska under the
old law was made in 1003 at which
-time the railways of the state (includ
ing the Pullman Car Co.) were valued
for purposes of taxation at $27,284,-
'946.00. This was on a total mileage
in the state of 5,777.1 miles. For tbe
year 1008 the railway (Including tbe
Pullman Go, as before) are valued for
purposes of taxation at 953,478,392 72,
an increase sinoe 1903 of 126,193,446.72
or nearly 07 per cent. The mileage
had inoreased only 213 1-3 miles in
this period, to a total of 5,990.31 miles
io the state, showing that the increase
was net on the growth or advancing
ralue of the railways but practically
on the aame property assessed in the
year 1903.
" The state debt of Nebraska affords a
decidedly complimentary proof of the
ability, economy and integrity of the
republican party applied to the prob
. lems of state administration. When
republican officials took charge of
state affairs in January, 1901 after
years of mismanagement by tbe demo
pop combine they found they had in
herited an outstanding floating debt of
41,750,073.02 and a profusion of defi
ciencies in state institutions and ap
propriations that would further add to
that sum as the obligations aoorued
and were paid in warrants for the liq
uidation of whioii no funds were avail
able. From tms condition the state
debt soared to its high point in Decern
ber, 1905, when it totaled $2,375,398 .
65. Through republican legislation
and economy of v administration, with
ont affecting the efficiency of any state
. department or institution and without
burden to tbe taxpayers, the debt has
been steadily reduoed and on July
.31, 1908, stood at $479.712 83.
Within twelve months the remaining
debt will be wiped out and Nebraska
will not owe a -dollar. That is the
republican record of state adminittra
lion.

Beacom was well known throughout

Tbe picnin held here Tuesday was a

Tbe sports of tbe day wefe quite in
teresting, especially tbe ball game be
tween Emerson and tbe home team,
and which was won by Emerson by a
soore of 3 to 2 . The fat men's race
created considerable fun and was won
by Henry Gain with Wat Lahey a
close second.
PICNIO SNAP SHOTS
Emerson won the game by a score
of 8 to 2, but the "umps" was respons
ible. Had Hartnett, who by tbe way
caught a very good game, caught that
third strike foul tip the result would
have been different; and then again
bad tbe "umpa" called a foul on that
long one Hubbard would have had it.
But what is the use speculating Em
erson won and we are satisfied.
Clark pitched a clean game, and
Smith was alright too.

New Buildings Include Cattle Barn
Costing $23,000 and Auditorium Cost
ing $10,000 Spesd Program.
The Nebraska State Fair for 1908
'is past tbe promising stage; it no
longer promises to be the best sbow
of Its character that has ever been
provided through the efforts of the
Board" of Agriculture; it actually will
be the best. So many concessions
have been granted, so many exhibit
ors have secured space, so many vari
eties of entertainment have been pro
vided that there is little doubt of the
record mark to be attained this year.
To illustrate the new mark by the
board, Secretary Mellor has given out
a few figures. From these it appears
that in the way of permanent equip
ment the Fair grounds this year will
show a new cattle barn, costing about
$23,000, and a new auditorium, cost
ing $10,000. The cattle barn, which
la 174 by 255 on the ground, is a mod
ern building, cement floored, well ven
tilated and providing ample room for
tbe shelter of 636 head of cattle.
The new auditorium is tbe most
radical departure made by the board
It combines tbe comfort of outdoor
entertainment with tbe acoustic ad
Vantages of a partly enclosed building.
The steel structure rises to the rear,
allowing spectators an easy view of
tbe stage. The wall back of tbe large
stage will afford a splendid sounding
board, preventing the rapid diffusion
of sound experienced in outdoor con
certs. The first concerts given In this
new building will be worthy of the
fine structure. The great Liberati or
ganlzation, comprising military band
and a company of eighteen singers of
national repute, will appear in the
new auditorium. Besides this organi
zation, four fttato bands, of a caliber
to enforce respect, have been secured
Contracts have been made with tbe
Hebron. Beatrice, Aurora and' St. Paul
bands.
The variety of entertainment af
forded ranges from the "Carnival of
Venice," a night spectacle employing
some 600 people and a wealth of fire.
works, to the marvellous work of
Frank Odell. the "Bee King." In
about the same measure that the car
nival is heedless of expense, is Odell
fearless when he enters a large
screened cage of bees, arranges the
enraged honey-makers in palpitating
lines, fills bis pockets with them
tosses them in his hair and rubs hU
face with them. The bees are not de.
prived of their stings nor does Odell
use a medicament offensive to the bees
The secret of his immunity is unknown
Night entertainments at the Stato
Fair comprise another new move. In
addition to the "Carnival of Venice,'
the Paine spectacle, "Tbe Eruption ot
Vesuvius," has been secured. Tbis Is
one of the most brilliant of the great
pyrotechnic productions of the fa.
mous company.
The speed program, which, through
keen interest in Nebraska horses or
the appearance of world-beaters, has
always been a notable part of the fair.
will be of real interest to Nebraskans
this year. The purses are large
enough to interest every live horse.
man and tne races are numerous
enough to allow class entries without
forcing horses from their proper
class, which classes consist of a two
year-old trot, three-year-old trot, three
year-old trot for Nebraska bred colts
2:35, 2:30, 2:25, 2:21, and 2:17 trot
ting, three-year-old pace, three-year
old pace for Nebraska bred colts
2:35. 2:30. 2:25, 2:22. 2:18. 2:15 and
free-for-all pacing. In the stake races
closing May 1, were entered 129 horses
in eight races. Tbe 2:35 and 2:21
trots and the 2:30, 2:22 and 2:14 pac
ing are each for purses of $1,000. One
of the new racing events for the year
is the four and a half furlongs run
nlng race, for Nebraska bred two-year-old
colts, for which, a $200 purse is
given the remainder of the running
races are the Nebraska Derby, one ana
one-sixteenth miles, with dash and re
peat races varying in distance from
one-half to one mile. The Nebraska
management are generous, in tbe fact
that stall rent Is free to all horses
actually starting in races, and one
half of the entrance fee is refunded to
starters finishing tbe race inside tbe
flag and outside the money. Tbe har
ness races and the Nebraska bred
colt and derby running races close on
August 10, 1908. The purses amount
to more than $12,000.
An atmetlc meet will be held on the
racetrack, in front of tbe grandstand,
on Tuesday, September 1, under the
direction of Mr. George U Pinneo.
This meet will consist of 100, 222, 440.
880 yard' and mile events. One of the
main events will be a county relay
race, in which four contestants, each
running a quarter of a mile, will com
pete for the championship of the state
and in which every county should
have its representatives.
Tbe Nebraska State Fair is not an
experiment; it is an institution.
Realising this the management la
putting forth every effort to make It
Increasingly attractive. With exhibits
of higher class and better arranged
with better facilities for taking care
of Immense crowds, with special pro
visions for the comfort of visitors and
with particular care for the feature
nr entertainment, the management Is
trying to keep pace with the require
ments of the great annual festival of
the great state.
