The Stnte Fair.
The Nebraska state fair was a de
cided success, both in the matter of ex
hibits and attendance. If anybody had
any doubt about this a visit to the
grounds was sufficient to dispel the
doubt. The weather for most part
was not all that could have been de
sired, and yet the attendance went
considerably beyond the record, and
would undoubtedly have been much
greater had not heat and dust inter
fered. Forty thousand people are
credited with being on the grounds
Wednesday, and at least 10,000 in ad
dition to this number on Thursday.
There was a lack of means of trans
portation, the dust was not properly
laid, and some other things were left
undone that should have been attend
ed to. The managers have gained ex
perience that will enable them another
year to have all matters arranged and
carried out in a satisfactory way.
The agricultural exhibit was the best
ever seen in Nebraska, ind this is say
ing a good deal when it is considered
how many splendid exhibitions the
state has held. All the various depart
ments were full to overflowing, and
evidence was present on every hand
that Nebraska is not only a productive
state, but that her citizens take pride
and satisfaction in making it known
to the world. Counties vied with coun
ties in elaborate displays, and all were
so good, so full and complete, that It
was difficult to draw comparisons.
Omaha took care of the large crowd
in a splendid way, making her claim
good to every pretension previously set
forth. The city was brilliantly illum
inated through the entire week and en
tertainment elaborately provided for
the thousands of guests within her
gates. Hands innumerable wrought
enchanting music on all sides, and the
parades arranged for the various even
ings were up to expectations and drew
hundreds of thousands of sightseers.
The Nebraska state fair for 1895 passes
into history as one of the most success
ful ever held, and if there was any
thing lacking the experience that has
been gained will enable the managers
to provide it in 189a The fair has ad
vertised the state's resources in a man
ner that will bring good fruit in great
abundance in coming years.

BANKERS PUT UP GOLD.
WILL PLEDGE $30,000,030 TO THE
TREASURY. IF NEEDED.
WORK OF BOND SYNDICATE
They Retire to Avoid Any Action Which
Would Have the Effect of Checkins
the Steadily Increasing Husineta
1'roeperlty That I* Now In
All tectlout of the
Country.
Washington, Sept. 33.—The easy as
surance and confidence of the treasury
officials that there will not be a bond
issue and that the treasury gold re
serve will not again be seriously de
pleted Is explained by a prominent of
ficial, who says that through the good
offices of the bond syndicate, promises
have been secured from bankers in the
principal cities of the country that in
case of necessity they can be called
upon to place up to 8jo,000,000 of gold
in the treasury in exchange for legal •
tender. This important matter has
been quietly negotiated by Messrs.
Belmont and Morgan during the last
fifteen days.
The reasons which have led to the
action are varied, but all tend to the
same end. On the part of the admin
istration it is recognized as good poli
tics to avoid another bond issue and
throw the responsibility and necessity
for remedial financial legislation upon
the incoming congress. It was deter
mined by the president several months
ago that there would be no bond issue
until after the elections, as an issue
previous thereto would have the effect
of strengthening the hands of the free
silver men and the Populists.
On the other side the syndicate
wishes to avoid any action which
would have the effect of checking the
steadily increasingbusines prosperity.
The parties to the present voluntary
combination for the protection of the
treasury gold reserve are almost en
tirely within the list of banks that
were allowed to participate in the
handling of the igst bond issue.

NO CUBAN RECOGNITION.
The United State* Unlikely to Take Any
Positive Action nt Present. *
Washington, Sept. 18.—Save vague
newspaper reports, nothing is known
at the state department of the inten
tion of any of the governments of the
American republics to recognize the
belligerency of the Cuban revolution
ists, and" it is quite certain that no
formal application for such recogni
tion by the United States has been
made. It is not perceived here how
the insurgents can reap any substan
tial advantages at this time for such
recognition. The only comfort that
they would derive would be from the
moral effect of a* assent by an inde
pendent power to the proposition that
they had assumed statehood.
As far as the United States is con
cerned, it took such a pronounced stand
in the case of the late Brazilian insur
rection that it could scarcely recog
nize the insurgents in the case of
Cuba at present without a complete
reversal of its position. It has held
that, to entitle them to recognition,in
surgents must set up a seat of govern
ment and maintain it; that they must
issue money, and must possess a navy
to make effectual any blockade they
wish to establish—in short, that they
must have an actual defacto govern
ment. The state department is not in
formed that any of these requirements
have been met by the Cubans.
POLITICS AND CRIME.
Professor Warner of California Attacks
the Present Police hystems.
Denver, Col., Sept 18_At this
morning's session of the national pris
on congress a paper on "Politics and
Crime,” written by Amos G. Warner,
professor of economics and social sci
ence in the Leland Stanford university
of California, nad read by John N.
Dryden of Kearney, Neb., created a
sensation. "If the state itself is under
the influence of criminals,” wrote Mr.
Warner, “how can it hope to reform
criminals? Setting a thief to
catch ■ a thief was an old-time
doctrine, but the plan of setting a
thief to reform a thief has never yet
been defended. The representatives
of the state with which criminals are
most frequently brought into contact
are policemen, police justices, sheriffs,
sheriffs’ deputies. and others only a
shade—if at all—better than the crim
inals themselves. The hope for the
cure of criminals largely lies in cura
tive treatment in the early stages.
Petty offenders and those on the verge
of criminality in the large cities sel
dom or never get beyond this lino of
guards, and live more or less in their
presence. The police to them repre
sent the state.”

was shot four times and John was both
shot and scabbed. They are not ex

CAN CURE ASTHMA.
Xi
A Lmdlnf Fhyslctan it Last Discovers
the Remedy.
The majority of sufferers from
Asthma and kindred complaints, after
trying Doctors and numberless Reme
dies advertised as positive cures, with
out avail, have come to the conclusion
that there is no cure for this most dis
tressing disease, and these same per
sons will be the more In doubt and skep- .
tical when they learn through the col
umns of the press that Dr. Rudolph
Schlffmann, the recognized authority,,
who has treated more eases of these dis
eases than - any living Doctor, has
achieved success by perfecting a rem
edy which not only gives relief in the
worst cases, but has positively cured
thousands of sufferers who were con
sidered incurable. These were just as
Skeptical as some of our readers now
are. Dr. Schiffmann’s remedy no doubt,
possesses the merit which is claimed for
it or he would not authorize this paper
to announce that he is not only willing
to give free to each person suffering:
from Asthma, Hay Fever, Phthisic, or
Bronchitis one tfee liberal trial package
of his cure, but urgently requests all
sufferers to send him their name and
address and receive a package, abso
lutely free of charge, knowing that in
making the claim he does for his cure - ’
a strong doubt may arise in the minds,
of many and that a personal test, as he
offers to all, will be more convincing
and prove its merits than the publish
ing of thousands of testimonials from 'Si
others who have been permanently
cured by the use of his Asthma cure.
"Dr. Schiffmann’s Asthma Cure,” as It
is called, has been sold by all drug
gists ever since it was first introduced,
although many persons may never hago-,
heard of it, and it is with a view to
reaching these that he makes this offer.
This is certainly a most generous and
fair offer,and all who are suffering from
any of the above complaints should
write to him at once and avail them
selves of the same, as positively no free
samples can be obtained after Oct. 10. Ad
dress Dr. R. Schiffman, 825 Rosabel street,

A Wise Choice.
A young lady in charge of the cap
tain of a P. & O. boat had two suitors
on board and a pug dog. The latter
fell overboard and one of her swains
instantly jumped after it into the sea.'
The other confined himself to leaning
ov$rthe side and crying, “Poor dog
gie!” When the rescuer came on board,
dripping, the young lady turned to the
captain and asked him which of her
two luvers, after such an incident, he
would recommend her to take. He was ■
a practical man and replied, “Take the
dry one,” which she accordingly did.
RAM’S HORNS.
. Selfishness is a hard snake to kill.
The .cross of Christ is the .key to
heaven.
Everything God gives us to'do needs
to be done.
Christians get along faster when
they travel in pairs. ^
God’s fire in the heart soon melts all
the lead in the feet. •
Whoever takes Christ for a topic will
Boon have him for a guest.
The better we know the Bible, the
plainer God can talk to us. .
If we talk about Christ we will never
run out of something to say.
It takes the man who carries God’s
message a long while to get tired.
Many hear the Voice of Christ before >;
they know who it is that speaks.
Whatever Christ has given the church
to do, every Christian should gladly
try to do.

DAMAGES FOR LIBkL.
A Virginia Paper Brought tQ Terms by
the American Book Company.
A dispatch from Norfolk, Va., says:
“The American Book company of New
York has just gained a signal victory in the
courtB of Virginia and has received an ab
Eolute and complete vindication after a long
and exhaustive trial by special jury in the
Circuit court of this city. The Pilot news
paper of this city, upon the awarding of
the contract for school books to the Amer
ican Book company, printed a long article
written and prepared by R. E. Byrd, an
agent and attorney for Ginn & Co., of New
York, in which it was charged that the
state superintendent, had been bribed by
the American Book company. The Pilot
was immediately sued for libel, and, after
a five weeks' trial, which created an im
mense amount of interest throughout the
state, a verdict for punitive damages was
recently awarded, and the jury found that
the statements made were false and a
deliberate libel. Not only so, but the
company, upon unimpeachable evidence,
was proved to have dealt honorably and up
rightly in every particular iniheir negotia
tions with the state officials. It was furth
er proved at the trial that no better terms
had been made with any other state for
school beo^s. In fact, the attorney-general
of Virginia stated that the American Book
company ‘seemed to throw open their whole
business to us,’ and after full and complete
examination of all the original contracts
made with the various states he expressed
himself as absolutely satisfied that the
prices were the same in all cases and that
no discrimination whatever hod been made
against the state of Virginia. Furthermore
he mentioned that none of the statements
of the American Book company had been
accepted until every one of them had behn
absolutely verified by direct reference to
the governors of some fifteen states, with
whom contracts had teen mode. This
proved conclusively that the representations
of the American Book corapauy were cor
rect in to to. This celebrated case has thus
ended 111 a complete triumph in every re
spect for the America!} Book company, and
has thown in clear contrast the clean and
business-like methods in which they carry
on their great industry as compared with
the attempted nse of political pulls and
misstatements by their opponents.”—Chir
