4 PLATTSMO UTH WEEKLY HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 2t, 187. THE 8TATE FAIR. Tho New Premium List Ready for Distribution. Unparalled Of fers Both by the Society and Individuals. The pp.-iniuiii list lor th; Statu fair of 18S7 in ready for distributiou. It is from the press of Tho tit ate Journal company ftiid is an exceedingly ix.at and at tractive pamphlet. Tin; most attractive thing ubout th; littlo volume, however, is the arry of premiums that fill the book from cover to cover. The amounts are larger than ever, aggregating f 23,OOU,and the conditions are made as favorable lor the exhibitor as possible. The oflicial an noucenient of the fair is. as follows: The twenty-first annual lair and exhi bition of the Nebraske State Hoard of Agriculture will be held on its ne',v,large and commodious grounds at Lincoln, the capital of tho state, commencing Friday, September dth, and continuing until Fri day, the 10th. Friday and Saturday, the 0th and 10th will be preparation day.. All entries will close on Saturday, the lOfh. The exhibition proper will open promptly on Monday morning, Septem ber 12. at 8 o'clock at which time all ex hibits must be in place. These stipula tions will be rigidly enforced, as a mat ter of justice to both exhibitors and the management. All entries, except in speed are free a.id open to the world. Blanks for entries can be had at any time on application to the secretary. No entries will be made or received except fron blanks furnished by the board and filled out by the appli cant. Live stock stables, stalls and pens will not be reserved or assignments made un til fees for same are paid. Railroad transportation rates, both freight and passenger, in the state, will be at least as favorable as before freight substantially free both ways. Outside the state we hope for better rates than last year. The number of roads centering at Lincoln make it accessible from all points of the country in and out of the state without inconvenience of transfer or re shipment of exhibits. The Hurlington fc Missouri Uiver, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, and Chicago & Northwestern railroads now run into Lincolu. Freights of all kinds, and passengers when desir ed, can be unloaded immediately at the main entrance srate. Passenger trains run into the fairgrounds. An experienc ed, accomodating" master" of transporta tion w ill be constantly in charge and give snecial attention to this matter. No fair 1 fjraund is more favorably and convert iently conditioned in this' respect. The grounds used this year, and which will be for three years to come, are the same as occupied previously, and which were at that time, regardless of expense almost, fitted entirely with new improve ments, halls, stables, stalls and pens, wa ter and weather proof in all respects. One hundred and ten acres enclosed with high tight board fence, grounds artistically and conveniently laid out with avenues and drives, and planted to trees. The best half-mile track in the west having been in use for fif tern years past The water suply is pure and inexhaustible, and conveniently furnished through pipe and hydrants in every portion of the grounds. The premium list, by-laws, rules and regulations, have been carefully and thoroughly revised and corrected' The uromium list enlarged in scope, classes. and lots, and in all important matters re classified. New and seperatc buildings will be erected for new and growing in dustries. The buildings erected last year will be enlarged where need be, to accom odate increased demands. New and more extended transportation facilities to and from the grounds will be provided The aim and object of the board will be to make the fair of 1S87 as much bct- ter in all respects than that of 1SS(, as it was of all its predecessors. The harmon ious, united efforts of all citizens, in all parts of the state is earnestly invoked. Bishop Ireland, who has just returnee from Rome, explains that the Pope has not really approved of the Knights of Labor; he has simply not condemned the order, which is a very different thins: from giving it an indorsement. If the Knights shall confine the operations to the legal protection and promotion of their rights, without infringing upon the rights of others or interfering with the freedom of labor, they will receive hi blessing; and it may be added that by such a course they can gain the favor of good people everywhere. It is only be cause they have failed to do the justice to others which they demand for them selves tlr&t they have encountered so much opposition. Olobe Democrat. You Who Lead Sedentary Lives will find great relief from constipation, headache and nervousness, by taking Simmons Liver Regulator. It is a simple. harmless, vegetable compound, sure to relieve you. Persons of sedentary habits often suffer with kidnev affections. If they would maintain the strength of the digestive organs and improve the quality o the blood by taking the Regulator it would restore the kidneys to health and The Floral Fair. San Josi:, Cm.., May 11, '87. There has just been held in San Jose an exhibition that would have bi-en a novelty to Nebraskans, viz., a floral fair. The people of the Santa Clara Valley, of which San Jose is the principal town, have recently awakened to a realization of the fact that they dwell in the garden hpot of the state, we might almost bay, of the world. Hitherto San Jose has been content to wee Los Angeles, Santa lisirbu- ra ami other cities monopolize the floral festivals and citrus fairs that are so at tractive to eastern visitors and go lar toward influencing them to make their homes in localities that must be blessed with productive soil and favorable clim ate, else such exhibitions were impos sible. Of late the citizens of San Jose have in a measure thrown off the conservatism that is so out of place in this age of pro gress and booms. Some of the more enr-rgetic and enter prising citizens have succeeded in infus ing a little of their own spirit into the slutrgish conservatives, who have been willing to see San Jose the Garden city, fall far behind towns that hr.ve not her natural advantages but whose people are more rushing and daring. The Central California Citrus Fair held in San Jose last February successfully demonstrated that Central California could raise as fine citrus fruits as the southern part of the state. The floral festival proved that Central California, in the production of flowers, need fear no rival. Horticultural Hall, where the exhibi tion was held, was truly a wilderness of sweet flowers. We doubt whether there has ever been ?een a more magnificent display of floral treasures than was con tained in that immense building. The profusion and yariety of flowers fairly bewildered the beholder, who irresolute ly turned from side to side, undecided which design to admire first, where all were so beautiful; wandering through a labyrinth of choice roses, delicate ferns and oraeeful evergreens, brcathincr the o ' flower-scented atmosphere, one needed to exercise no trreat imagination to believe himself in fairyland. Much artistic skill was shown in the arrangement of the flowers and some of the designs merited special notice. In a conspicuous place in front of the entrance was a Hrge rainbow, twenty feet in diameter. The various colors were as follows: Red, scarlet geraniur orange, marigolde; yellow, Marchal Neil roses; green, candytufte; blue, forget me-iiots: indigo, Fleur-de-lis; violet, canterbury bells. In an alcove at tho right of the entrance was a representation of Mt. Hamilton on which rested a teliscope of roses. The adjacent hills weie snow-carpeted with white roses' while the foothills in front were covered with wild flowers and ferns. The natural rockery which occupied the alcove on the lift, was a companion piece to Mt. Hamilton. Real indeed were the srraceful ferns and vines, the growing plants, and shaded brook con taining fishes. The eloctric light tower attracted much attention. It was seventeen feet high and five feet at its base, and was com pktely covered with handsome roses and sat mounted by an electric light.. The table representing "The Home st ead "was greatly admired. 1 he rose house with the liirlit shining; from the windows, the lawns, flower beds, and fences, the live ducks swimming in the pond, gave it a most home like appear ancc. "Homeward Bound" was a realistic piece In the center, a ship, trimmed with roses and sniilar, surrounded by water; a mountain in the distance, at the base of which was a cottage: a rocky point overlooking the sea crowned with a light-house, whose welcome rays could be seen from afar by the anxious eves of the homeward bound sailors; in the fore ground were various designs an anchor, a star, baskets of flowers and the motto "Homeward Bound." These are but a few of the designs, many of which were as worthy of men tion as the ones described. TVe will close this letter by advising the readers of th Herald not to miss floral fair should they visit California at the season the exhibitions are given. Sr. Cl.ARK. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, May 19th, 1887. The past week was full of interest to people of Washington as well as to the hundreds of strangers who came hither through interests scientific, business and social. I may say there were four nation al conventions. First came the hotel pro prietors, representing all the leading cit ies and all the leading hotels in the Unit ed States, who talked over matters of mutual interest, exchanged ideas and ex periences and had a good time generally. Then there was the American Surgical Association, which was in session here, and the Society of The Army of the Cum berland, which held its annual reunion and unveiled the statute it hTp- erected to Garfield with much imjvlnu4,omP an cerimony. And rxiturday morning saw an assemblage of K''ntleimu such as the world has rarely witnessed. This was the "forty niners" the men who crowed mountain and plain, braved the ice fields of the Artie seas, or the fervid suns and fevers of the torid zone, and founded a new empire on the shores of the Pacific. A. number of these California pioneers. robably a hundred or more, met here and spent the day together. They board ed a Potomac steamer and had a sail down the river, during which they organized n California Pioneer's Assotiatiou. A plank shad dinner followed, and then recitals of incidents, adventures; and rcminicences of their earlier days, which showed that these "Jasons" of the new world are still young enough to enjoy themselves. On last Friday, President Cleveland, for ther fist time in his life, made a pil grimage to the tomb of George Washing ton. It was at the invitation of the wi dow of Gen. Logan, who is now legeut of the Mount Vernon Association. The president, Mrs. Cleveland and about a dozen other invited guests embarked on the steamer Corcoran late in the afternoou Arriving there they spent an hour or so ramblng about the historic spot and re turned to the city after night. The soldier boys are arriving from nil over the United States and will continue to do so until Sunday which will be the buisiest day for arrivals and before mid night it is expected that every company will be quartered on the canip' ground. Miss Clara Barton, president of the Red Cross society, will have charge of the encampment, and a dozen local phy sicians and surgeons will be on her staff, as also veteran army nurses and a num ber of volunteers from the training school for nurses. Temporary hospital barracks are being erected, and the soldiers will be well cared for when they get sick. To the majority of people of this city the necessity of a hospital department to the national drill was a surprise. Pre parations by the Red Cross society seem ed to be the first suggestion to them that the coming week of military display was likely to place anong us sick and suffer ing men, strangers and soldiers who would need treatment aud care. Until then probably not one person in in a hun dred had realized that there could be a serious feature connected with the great holiday week, or that so much display could develope as a part of itself, an ac tual necessity, demanding the same means of relief, the same watchful care, tender sympathy, wise provision and firm con trol that an coual number of soldiers might require in a veritable camp or ac tual campaign. A moment's reflection, however, makes it apparant that it would be iinpnssibl to bring thousands of men here under any form of enlistment from their wide-spread homes, snbjeet to change of all habits of life, food, water, climate, occupation and rest, and place them in competitive ac tion, every man at his most and best for the space of nine days, without any of them falling ill or needing care or treat ineut. It will be wonderful, indeed, if there be not some who will never return to their homes. Astonishing Success. It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee-s German Svittp to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate re lief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we cousider it the duty of all Drug gists to recommend it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, a 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last year and no one case where it failed was re ported. Such a medicine as the German syrup cannot be too widely known Ask your druggist about it. Sample bot tles to trv. sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 73 cents. Sold by all Druggists and Dealers, in the United States and Canada. (2) Real Estate Transfers. C. B. & Q. R. R. to J. S.
