braska to-day applied for 1,000 free
cots during the Grand Army of the

ters were exhausted on the 1st instant,
and Nebraska had not been heard
from up to that time. The local com
mittee, however, is exceedingly
anxious to please the veterans of Ne

going to paint his engine red for the
purpose of exhibiting it at the world's
fair. His friends endeavored to stop
him by telling him the engine was out

himself. Then he went to Cass coun
ty, where he was secured by an officer
sent after him.
—The Nebraska Columbian commis
sion met in Lincoln last week. Dr.
George L. Miller of Omaha appeared
and made an earnest and convincing
statement of the importance of ink
pressing on the world that Nebraska
can raise as much and as good winter
wheat as any state in the union. He
has been gathering facts as to the suc
cess that has followed efforts in this
direction, and finds that there can be
no doubt that winter wheat is des
tined to play a great part in Nebraska
agriculture. He urged that a proper
showing of this fact be made at the
world's fair. He also spoke of the
boundless water power of the Platte,
just beginning to be developed at
Kearney and Gothenburg and probably
soon to afford Omaha also power for
factories.

LunBiiJi commission.
nrporl of ConnliiUttr General
Garnean—.Here Cub or Quit Bual*
ness.
Lincoln, Neb.. Sept. 8.—The Ne
braska Columbian commission assem
bled yesterday morning' at the capitoL
A motion was carried that the state
board of agriculture meet with the
commission in the evening.
It was decided that the commission
ers should attend in a body the dedi
catory exercises at Chicago next
month.
Commissioner General Garneau su'o*
milled ide following report.
To the Members of the Nebraska
Columbian Commission—Gentleman:
Since my last report I have appointed
the foliowing superintendents of de
partments: E. Whitcomb, apiary;
Frank A. Barton, educational; Law
rence Bruner, entomology; and also
designated Commissioner S. P. Mobley
to laao charge of the printing exhibit.
On June 20, with other members of
the committee. 1 awarded the contract
for the erection of the Nebraska stale !
building, which, on account of the de
mands made upon us by the authori
ties at the World's fair grounds, we
were obliged to increase in cost to the
extent of $3'JO above contract price,
which, however, was unavoidable and
couid not be foreseen by the building
committee, as the plans had already
been accepted by the World's fair au
thorities. In this connection I beg to
say that these people at Chicago are
very arbitrary and their suggestions
must be carried out to the letter
whether timely notice or not has been
given, and there is no appeal or re
course from the chief of construction '
in reference to buildings; etc.
I am continually receiving reports ,
from the superintendents of depart- !
ments, particularly those of agricul- !
lure, which intiraute favorable results !
as to the outcome of their work, the j
culmination of which, so far as the ex- :
hibits are concerned, will be reached I
during the month of September at the
time of the holding of the county fairs
and more particularly of the state fair;
and 1 think the result of the prelimi
nary work done will show Nebraska in
the front rank. There is one contin
gency, however, which must be over
come. My visits to Chicago each
time more strongly convinces me of
the necessity of an adequate appropri- j
ation to present Nebraska in its true j
light, and unless we can ^get a large
increase from the next legislature I
am satisfied it will be far better for
this state to entirely abandon the pur
pose of attempting an exhibit.
I learn that installation expenses are
going to be much heavier than was
originally contemplated. This is one
of the necessary expenses that cannot
be overcome and must be met. To
give you an idea in the rough of how
little of our appropriation would be
available for an entire exhibit of Ne
braska at this exposition, I beg to say
that the contemplated necessary ex
penses for the different departments
already agreed upon to be presented
by this commission, and which I have
figured on with the chiefs of depart
ments, will aggregate over $20.000 for
installation expenses alone. Of course,
cases, standa railings, etc., which are
purchased for this purpose wiil be the
properly of the state; but, neverthe
less, the original expense must be in
curred; and in this connection I beg to
say that it will be useless for the com- j
mission to consider any more interests <
than those which have already been ]
undertaken until some assurance is
given of an increased appropriation.
There are a number of manufactor
ies, such as the hog and cattle inter
ests, beet sugar manufactories and
different industries which should have
some aid from this commission. They
are as much entitled to it as any other
interest; but on account of iack of
funds we were unable to comply. The
live stock men and the state fish com
mission should receive some help from
us and for the same reason we cannot
give it. When one examines theiarge
interests we have in the state of Ne
braska. and will take the trouble to
carefully analyze the allotments this
commission has made to each, to
gether with the estimated expenses of
properly getting together and present
ing the same at Chicago, it is my firm
belief the people of the state of Ne
braska will agree the money has not
only been honestly but judiciously dis
tributed.
Nebraska is a state which needs im- ]
migration. This can only be acquired j
by proper and judicious advertising, i
If we want people to come to us we i
must let them know thet we are in th3
land of the living and have advantages
to present. This can only be done by
advertising, and the best advertise
ment 1 know of is to show the products
of our unequaled soil in the manner
which will achieve for them every
credit which is their due.
Without sufficient money to make
this representation in the proper man
ner, it occurs to me that we wiii be in
a more satisfactory position to our
selves not to exhibit all. Fifty thous
and dollars seems a large sum of j
money, lu fact, when I assumed the •
office of commissioner general my im. 1
pression was we should nearly, if not
quite, accomplish the work desired
with that appropriation; but the scope
of this exposition has been materially
enlarged, and this enlargement wiii
apply in a like degreo to the states
and the incidental expenses likely to
be incurred. If Iowa. Kansas, and
states similarly situated to Nebraska
were to make but a small exhibit, this ]
would be all that would be required
from us; but we cannot afford to have
Iowa. Kansas and other states make
an exhaustive exhibition (wnich they
are preparing) of their products and
Industrie* unless we are equally repre
sented.
The conception of the exposition
and the views of the controller* both
national and local, are entirely differ
ent and more comprehensive in 1892
from what they were in 1890. and
states are simply keeping pace with
these advanced and enlarged ideas
The question now is, will Nebraska
fail behind or keep in the front rank?
This question can only be answered
by our next legislature. With the
present appropriation she will be hope
lessly in the rear. With sufficient
money to carry out the plans of her
commission she will be in the front
rank.
In referrence to the state building I
beg leave to say I have made two trips
to Chicago in reference thereto and
find it progressing nicely. The con
tractor advises me this building will
be finished about September 10, and
in this connection I wish to say not
only the superintendent of construc
tion out in the opinion of many per
sons connected with the buildings at
the exposition grounds, entertain the
impression that we will hare the best
looking state building on the grounds.
Our location is admirable. In fact,
with t-outh Dakota we have the two
best sites on the ground. Respectfully
submitted.
JOSKI II UAKNF.AU. Jit.
Commissioner General.
Commissioner Moblqy presented two
reports, the first being his report as
superintendent of the Nebraska news
paper exhibit. In bis report he says:
••I have received information from
608 newspapers giving information
called for and necessary for the carry
ing out of the work projected. Al
most without exception the Nebraska
newspapers have reported promptly
and cheerfully. I have addressed to
the papers of the state on this sub
ject 2.100 special circulars and letters
and on every hand have received the
most hearty aid, co-operation ana en
couragement. * * * I have col
lected and arranged alphabetically for
binding duplicate copies of 605 Ne
braska newspapers, ana I expect by
October 1 to swell the list to at least
700, as new papers are being discov
ered daily, not recorded in any cata
logue or directory issued.
••I expect to have the directory
ready to go to press by January 1,
1898, by which time I hope to com
plete duplicate flies of all papers and
magazines published in Nebraska. I
have great confidence in the efficacy
of this exhibit as an advertising medi
um for the benefit of the state and feel
sure that time will demonstrate that
no better investment was ever made by
the state than the appropriation for
this feature of the Nebraska exhibit.'1
Mr. Mobley also submitted his re
port of the work done in the way of
advertising the Nebraska exhibit. He
has printed 25,000 circulars. 12.000
letter heads, 10,000 envelopes and
6,000 cards. He has on file at his
office 1. 200 papers which have printed
articles calculated to awaken a general
interest in the Nebraska exhibit. The
press of Nebraska have been most gen
erous in aiding the commission in
every way possible.
Indignant at Russia.
Victoria, B. C., Sept. 9 —The council

St. Loris, Sept ?.■—The ninth annu
al season of the SL Louis Exposition
opened this evening in the presence of
an enormous crowd, every portion of
the magnificent building, covering u
it docs cn area of six acres, being
thronged. Gilmore with his band one
hundred strong will give four concerts
daily in the grand Music hall until Oc
tober 2-d, and a number of special mu
sical programs and special days have
been arranged. The National Travel
ers’ Protective association have ar
ranged for a grand parade on October
1st, on tlic afternoon of which day the
Veiled Prophet will arrive by water
and after a military parade, hold a
public reception at the Exposition,
which promises to be even more suc
cessful than anticipated this year.
Arrangements are 'n active progress
for the great annual Fair, which takes
place the first week in October, and
among the numerous attractions an
nounced for that week will be attempts
on the part of Nancy Hanks and Mar
tha Wilks, the two fastest trotting
horses in the world, to break the mile
record recently established by the
former.
The next illumination will be on ti e
1.1th, and the success of the four illumi
nations already held is a sufficient
guarantee of a more magnificent spec
tacle than ever on this occasion, j
The 75.000 lights with the count- j
less triumphal arches and clusters
of globes form a magnificent spectacle,

beautifully represented and richly
illuminated by aid of electricity. • So
perfect are the mechanical details of
this display that an effect similar to
the waring of the flags is produced by
means of varying the density of the
light, and it is difficult for the specta
tor to realize that the flags are really
stationary and not floating in the air.
Tried to Avoid Quarantine.
Washington. Sept. S.—Dr. Wyman
was informed last night of what ap
pears on its face to be a bold attempt
to evade the quarantine regulations of
of the country. This information
came in a telegram dated Virginia
Beach, Va.. and signed by J. M. Dickey,
general superintendent of the Norfolk,
Albemarle & Atlantic railroad. It
said that the steamship Lord Bangor,
reported to be from England, at anchor
about three miles out attempted to
land passengers by a small boat six
miles south of Cape Henry in front of
the Princess Anne hotel, but was pre
vented from coming to the hotel by
Captain Payne of the life saving sta
tion. Mr. Dickey asked if instruc
tions could not be given to the life
saving men to prevent vessels from
landing passengers on the beach and
scattering through the country. The
collector of customs at Norfolk, Va.,
was notified of this attempted action
on the part of the steamer's officers
and was requested to act in the mat
ter.
(holer* Mutation at New York.
NewYouk, Sept. 9.—The cholera
situation at quarantine ia no doubt
very grave. Not only are new cases
breaking out every day among the
steerage passengers of the ill-fated
Normannia and Rugia. the former of
whom are on Hoffman island, but it
has now settled well among the crew
of the big express steamer who are on
board.
If anything can be added to the hor
ror of the situation, it is the fact that
the cabin passengers who have been
free from any sign of disease are kept
like rats in a trap, with the cholera
raging alongside of them. “No ship
to put them on,” says the health offi
cer, while the agents, whose dutv it is
to see the passengers cared for. sav
nothing. Dr. Jenkins has made stren
uous exertions to obtain a place to put
the well passengers, but up to the pres
ent he has been unsuccessful.
The government has refused the use
of Sanay Hook. Governor Flower has
taken no action on Dr. Jenkins’ re- I
quest for possession of Fire island, and
it has been impossible thus far to rent
or buy a vessel.
As regards the situation at the iower
quarantine, things are much worse,
eieven fresh cases and four deaths
being the day’s record, though one of
the deaths took place at a very iate
hour yesterday.
The Coming; l'.iicaiii|»meiit.
Washington, £ept. 9.-Colonel
Guy V. Henry, U. S. A., is taking an
active interest in the preparations for
the Grand Army of the Republic, en- i
campment here inis month, and says ’
it will be the greatest success the i
arganization has ever made. At a
committee meeting last night Colon*)
Henry presented a statement showing
the divisions and names of regiment!
with commanders to be present upo*
the part of the regular army, in,
colonel has been made chairman ot
the reception committee for the >reg.
ulars.” To-day’s Washington Post i*
commenting upon the lateness of th«
application of the Nebraska veterans
for free quarters and stating that the;
cannot be provided for. says that tb«
Nebraskans have evidently been going
upon the theory that it is never too
late to mend and that they would bo
provided for if they applied at an;
time, without racard to rules and
limits of accommodations.
Jflr. Blalue Gives Ideas.
New York. Sept. 7.—A Times sp*.
cial lrom Bangor, Me., says: Mr.
Blaine has recently expressed to i
friend his views of the clear duty of
the government in the matter of the
cholera. Mr. Blaine said the duty wy
clear and the path plain. In sub.
stance it is to close traffic between the
old country, Canada and the United
States to everybody and everything
save the malls and citizens of inis
country now abroad, and to ad mi;
these only after perfect precaution.
His idea is that there are no; and cun
not be commercial relations whicn for
a moment are to be considered in com
parison to safety of life. He bus al
ways held this country to be depend
ent on no other save for some of the
luxuries of life, and he thinks while
we may lose and cause loss in some
quarters, such matters can be easily
adjusted. He wanted everything now
on the water on the way from the
old world kept from the land and a
discontinuance of all foreign railroad
traffic across the states. Then he
would have the border policed to per
fection, a rigid examination in ali cit.
ies and towns of fruit, and he believes
President Harrison has the power to
so order by proclamation and that
there are no treaty rights to prevent it

Washington, D. C.. Sent. 7.
Chairman John J. Edaon of the ieg-is
lative committee for the reception ami
entertainment of the Grand Army ol

is of interest to the Grand Army men
throughout the country. Mr. Eqsoe
says that the Washington- legislative

five times in excess of the number pro
vided with similar accomodations in
other cities at previous encampments.

thus fixed would be entirely amoie,
but anxious toquarter ail who appiied,

month notified every Grand Army post
in the United Stales to cemmunicate
with him by September 1st if it de
sired free accommodations. Up to
date free quarters have been provided
for 55.000 comrades of the G. A. R
But even at this late day, in disregard
of the injunction of the circular, dila
tory posts are making applications.
Barracks which hav$ been erected
are of wood, commodious and comfort
able, but the committee finds that it
will be absolutely impossible to erect
additional quarters in time for the en
campment. This decision has been
issued with regret that the post did
not make known before waiting until
too late for the committee to provide
free accommodations. There are
ample accommodations in hotels,
boarding houses and private residen
ces in the city for as many additional
posts or individuals. as may apply,
which can be obtained at reasonable
rates by application to Coionel L. P.
Wright, chairman of the sub-commit
tee on accommodations.
One Hundred Hi Ht i'nris,
Paris, Sept. 8.—There are now 100
suspected cases of cholera at the Hotel
Dieu. Four patients received yester
day at the Trosseau hospital died last
night. The statistics of the board of
health confirm the report of a slight
improvement in the condition of af
fairs in this city. Yesterday there
were fourteen deaths from cholera in
Paris and five in the suburbs, making
a total since the outbreak of the
scourge of 305.
