V IV 4 fa., fetPiBfd What in tliero nltout litiiunn naturu tlmt lireetls enemies forn strong nmn I When n man achieve eminence by font' of chnrnctur there is generally a swarm of yelping tie tractors at his heels trying to pull him down. Wo have another example of this In tho enso of Patrick Kgan of tills city, now minister to Chili. Tho United States l'i common with ill other foreign nations rocognlml Hal macednas tho head of tho Chilian govern ment, anil tho revolutionists wero simply rebels until they established themselves In power. Mr. Kgan hail no course ohii hut to treat Bnlmaccdu as tho lawful ruler of Chili, Hut Mr. Kgnu's achievements in the part hail bred an nriny of enemies seeking every opportunity to drag him down from his eminence. They sent up a howl about his conduct in tho Chilian war. They (minted Bnlmaccdu n lleuil (which may havu been true) and damned Kgan for recognizing him, which was his plain duty as our minister and under Secretary Blaino's Instructions. Those libelers accused Kgan of undue friendlinoss for tho tyrant liecauso young Put Kgan hud a fat bei th under tho llalmaccdau govern ment, and when the revolutionists liecnmo victors and took charge of tho government these slanderers wero dead sure that tho dis tinguished Ir'shman would lie sent back to America. Tho wish was father to the thought. Young Kgan has not been in the servlco of llalmacvda, and is employed in an Omaha real estate olllce. Ho that story was knocked Into a cocked hat, if you will vrmit tho figure of speech. Now comes the news that Minister Kgan, acting under instructions from Washington, has informally recog nized the new Chilian government and that his relations with it are of tho most cordial kind. It is hardly necessary to add that Mr. Kgan will remain in his present (tositlon and his enemies will havo to manufacture new lies. Of course tho Couhikh Is not running the rtata fair and it doesn't pretend to know much about tho bt'slness, but there is a thought which seems to have found a lodg ing place in a greut many noddles. It is this: Why can't tho fair managers hang up Bomo bigger purses and include some fuster classes In their ruciug program) A regular attendant at the fair wtio will give the mat ter a little study must tie impressed with the fact that tho races are tho biggest drawing card of all. Thousands sit or stand for sev eral hours watching the seed contests and apparently have no interest in pumpkins, pigs or windmills. If people will turn out for slow races how much tetter the atten dance would be it it were known tliero wero to Imj fast horses with national reputations. Suppose there were one big race euch day. The entrance fees would pay n goodly slmro of tho purse, and two or three other purses might lie saved by disputing with that num ber of slower races during, the series. Tho spectators would not miss them. They would be sutlsllcd with quality instead of quantity. Many will readily recall the crowd which Jay-Kyo-See drew out, audit is beyond doubt that a sprinkling of races between famous horses would be a great draw ing card. Of course there are dillicul tles in the wuy, but if anything is done In this direction a tieglnnlng will have to be made some lime. Apropos big races at the state fair, Hon. Church ilowe was in the city yesterday and telling about the horse meeting at ludoiieu dence, Iowa, Tho place is an out-of the-way town of about 0,000. located on one stub rail road and another that is not much better. Hut tho races drew thousands. There were several $ .1000 purses and nothing le than iMOOO. These uttructed some of the best horses from all jiurts of the country, Tho famous horses drew immense crowds. Tho attendance ono day wns:!0,(X)0 at u dollar a person. Think of itl Nearly a million dol lars' worth of horse llesh passed before tho spectators. And such an exhibition' The mile was paced in !i:005 and trotted in '-!;10. It was worth a dollar to see that. And all this was brought about by one man named Williams, who hod won notice among horse men by teason of constructing tho llrst klte hhaH'd mile track. Ouo tiling is still evident to tho people who travel between Lincoln nud Omaha, uud tbut is tho fact that the Burlington is doing the business. And tliero is every reason why it should. It covers tho distance in an hour and fltteeii minutes, while other lines take from two to four hours, It has uu old, well settled road bed with tho lest raIN, on which cars glide along us smoothly as they uro ever likely to. If you haven't been Impressed with tho advantage of that particular thing you ought to rldo over a now track once for a change. Thejaccomodatlous of the Burling tou are not equaled much less excelled. In tho number of trains, their speed, tho luxury of their cars and tho conveniences of Its do pots, the Burlington Ik clearly without a rival, Among recent visitors in Lincoln was a young lady who has resided In Chum for eight years, doing her mite toward introduc ing Christianity into that country. She took u regular medical course ut an eastern col lege, has a doctors diploma and has devoted her Hfo to tho amelioration of the sufferings of the ignorant. Sue Is provided with funds from un American missionary hoard, which enables her to give her services freely to tho (ioor heathen. This is a practical sort of Christianity that must strike even a skeptic as generous mid noble. Tho lady in question had many curious souvenirs. Among them was an Idol that was actually worshipped in a Chinese household, A member of the futil ity died, uud the American doctoi' learned that its idols could be bought. When she ap plied for ono the bereaved family exprevo I a willingness to part witli it utter having a feast over it. It is tho custom over there, when n now Idol Is set up as a household (lod to havo n fonst and invite n good spirit to take up Its nbodo in tho wooden imagine. Then when the Idol Is sent out of the house hold it is necessary to have another feast and ceremony to Invito the spirit to deuirt. This particular idol, a sitting figure of wood, six Indies high nnd covered with gilt, Is now a baby's plaything in a Nebraska home. Was it Napoleon or only some common Christian scientist who made the alleged dis covery that imagination rules the world I That may be too smerplug, but wo have evi dence every day that the Imagination plays an important part In our lives and It some times crops out In (iccullnr ways. An llluss trillion of tliis came out tho other evening among a (tarty of young fellows who havo been in the habit of meeting atu convenient cigar store Ono of them iiiudo the nsser tiou that smoking was a matter of Imagina tion and that If it were not for seeing the smoke u man could not tell whether he was smoking or not. Of course the devotees of the weed ridiculed the proxsltion, and the theorist, nettled by their xroillng, offered to prove it. One of the smokers was blindfold ed. A now pipe was filled with tobacco and (iut in Ids mouth. Then u loud-cracking was struck and he was told to draw on tho pl(ie. Tho fire was not touched to tho tobac co, but the subject had heard the match crack. When asked if he were smoking ho replied: "'Like a bonfire of green wood," and continued to puff away with apparent satis faction until the crowd gave him the laugh. He could hardly lellovo that the tobacco had not been fired. His eyes were bandaged again and while that was being done one of the party lighted the plio at u gas got. When tho subject had puffed n few times he was asked If ho was smoking and said no. And yet he was blowing out a goodly vol umo of smoke. This experience was tried a number of times uud generally with success when the subject had not !een u party to previous tests In u fow cases the subject, either by accident or design, bw allowed some of tho smoke and was gagged, but on the whole the crowd concluded that tho theorist had sustained his proposition. Speaking of wild sunflowers, ut a swell dance, in Omaha the other evening, tho only decorations in the rooms were those golden, black-hearted suns, and a very brilliant ef fect they made. No attempt wus made at grouping them in designs, but the wull pa per and window druplugs happened to be in dark tones, and the sunflowers filled tho rooms with u touch of blaring glory. In a labor day parado Monday one party of men wore n wild sun flower for n boutonlero to a black cout. It was a simple, inexieusivo decoration, but the combination of colors made a beautiful contrast, and the effect was stunning. Wo are too apt to measure the merit nnd iho beauty of things by their cost in cash, uud because wild flowers car, be hud for the plucking they are. seldom appreciated. A society girl from tho east who was In 'Lin coln a short time ago wus euthutiastic over the beuuty of our field suutlowers, unit could not understand why wo passed them in s'lent contempt. Theie was nothing of the kind in her part of tho country, ami she re garded them from i"i artistic or esthetic view only. She seldom went out without gathering n bunch of the golden fringed diks to ornament her room. The Lincoln Street Hallway company Is entitled to unstinted praise for the masterly manner in which it handled the greut crowds to uud from the state fuir. It ran trains of two und three cars at intervals of five minutes or less and carried many thousands of eoplo every day without n serious ncci dent. A flagmuu was stationed at every switch and crossing and with it prearranged code of signals kept tho cars moving with system and dispatch The circular truck at the fair grounds and the loop down town made it (Kxulble to head tho trains the proper way without vexatious delays. Tho cais were manned with plenty of help to keep everything moving. Manager Uphuiu uud Supt.

The history of Nebraska and other Western fairs does not chronicle an exHisitiou that in point of attendance or grandeur of display equals that of tho present fair which comes to an auspicious closing today, Theexhlblt In nil departments has never been more complete and never bus the fair given lietter satisfac tion. The art display was particularly at tractive while the showing made in Mercan tile hall far surpassed all previous efforts. In this hull Lincoln merchants were more largely icprtweuted than heretofore and their displays attracted no end of admira tion. Prominent among them were lludgo & Monis, Parker & Sanderson, H.

Tho flue stock show while in koiiio imports' was not us large ns on some previous jear, was however liner, In that It contained n larger number of tho higher grades. Q The races attracted the usual large .crowds and there wus great sjiort on every program. Tho management was both untiring and well systenmtT.ed, uud owing to tills fact tho immense outx)urlng was us usual, well handled.

Another regular annual display is that of tho well known Crete Nurseries, whoso exhib it each year is looked uKn as ouo of the big foatuies nf tho great fair. Mr. E. T.

Mr. Stevens' dlspluy of Nebraska woods numbering seventy-live varieties, cut so ns to show growths, was remarkably fine nud won llrst piemiutu. The display was a very prominent part of the fuir. W. J. COOI'Kll AM) com llltOH. were on the grounds again this year, and their spacious building was tho attraction of vast crowds from every section of the west. Tho display of steam nud water supplies, pumps, wind mills, tanks, etc., was uuusuully lurge, and pieslde 1 over by Mr. Cooper nnd a c-oris of able assistants.

As usual, Frank K. Iihr's excellent show ing of stoves in ills own building just north of Mercantile hull wus tho attraction for hundreds of visitors ull during the week. Aft tho stoves shown were of the celebrated Ciold Coin make which bus for live yencs past enjoyed excellent success uud largo sales in Lincoln. Mr. Lnhr has been tho exclu sive agent during all those years and it is with just praise due a worthy article, that Mr. Luhr makes the assertion that in nil that time lie did not have to tako buck a single stove. Tiieso stoves me ulways highly reccomiueudod and if they do not prove J list us represented can lie returned at any time. In the exhibit was shown a nice lino of round oaks, base burners, cook stoves and ranges.
