Premiums Offered.
Secretary Miller of the Cass
County Agricultural society re
ceived the following communica
tion from K. W. Furnas in relation
to a Cass county exhibit at the
state fair. The society will have a
meeting in a short time and will
then take action in the matter, and
from the present outlook Cass
county will have a fine exhibit at
the state fair:
Dear Sir: The management of
the Nebraska state board -of agri
culture realizes that at our annual
expositions, in so far as a presenta
tion of the products of the soil
direct is concerned, results depend
largely on county collective ex
hibits. To encourage to this end,
more money has been added to that
class, and the number of premiums
increased from ten last year to
seventeen for the fair held in Lin
coln this year, September 2 to 0.
Ah heretofore, we pledge every
effort to make an exhibit of this
characterof benefit to all concerned.
I trust you will see the importance
of this medium of presenting to the
public the products of your local
ity. The coming fair will surpass
any of its predecessors. Come to
the front with a collective exhibit
that will aid your county.
l'lease signify to me as earl, as
possible your determination in the
matter, and the approximate space
you wish, that provision may be
made. In this we must be advised
at least three weeks before the fair
opens, in order to provide satisfac
tory accommodations, tend your
application for space to the sccre-

LARGE STOCK OF
SON
A BRIGHT IDEA.
A Kearney Man Who Would Utilize
the Waters of the Platte.
Front Fridays Dally.
The greatest scheme of the centu
ry for the development of Nebraska,
Colorado and Wyoming is now be
ing discussed in Kearney, North
I'latte and other cities along the
Platte river. It originated in the
nundofold Colonel Patterson of
Kearney, who first figured out how
to make Kearney a manufacturing
city by giving her the water power
she now has. Patterson was called
a crank, whose brain was tilled
with wild fanatic schemes which
could never be made practical real
ities. Hut having solved the prob
lem of water power for Kearney, the
colonel has now tinned his atten
tion to the matter of obtaining wa
ter power for the states tif Nebras
ka, Wyoming and Colorado. His
scheme is to commence near the
mouth of the Platte river, whence
the stream empties into the Missou
ri river and build a canal along the
valley of the Platte, wide enough
and deep enough for heavy freight
boats, extending it along the full
length of the main river to this city
and from here extend one branch
up the South Platte to Denver and
another up the North Platte into
Wyoming. The heads of both riv
ers are not far apart in Colorado,
and the scheme is to connect them
together with the canal, so as to
form a circuit front this city through
Wyoming and Colorado. Then the
idea is to build waterworks similar
to those at Kearney whenever nr
ccssary and convenient along
the line, so as to obtain
electricity for manufacturing, heat
ing and lighting purposes and to
run the canal boats and electric
passenger cars. The members of
congress from the northwestern
states will be asked to obtain uu ap
propriation by the government of
about flUO.lX for a preliminary sur
vey, audit is thought that a com
pany can be organized, which, with
the aid of bonds to be voted by the
counties, precincts and cities inter
ested, will push the canal through
to completion in about three years.
The proje:t is a great one for
Nebraska it it can be worked, and
to those who understand tne fact
that a few feet underground all
along the Platte valley there is a
strong current of water continually
flowing through the sand it seems
practicable to build such a canal
with plenty of water in it at all times.
A waterway of that character, with
the electric power which could be
made by it at frequent intervals
along the route, would be a wealth
producer that would far eclipse
anything ever heard of in the
history of the world. It would
build up Western Nebraska with
factories and farms side by side; it
would bring home markets to the
farmer and solve the transportation
question. There are billions in it if
capitalists will take hold of it and
spend millions to get it out. Lin

in the state public schools will wish

delivering the same orations? In
doing this they will not only learn

Teachers should begin at once to
make preparations for exercises
worthy of the tlay. They should in
struct their pupils to watch the pa
pers and clip from their columns
all articles relating to the celebra
tion. The official program, which will
be announced by the executive
committee on or before September
l.will embrace an ode, a national
song, a recitation and a brief ora

school-house flag will also be a
part of the morning exercises.
These will be uniform features of
the local observances throughout
the country. Nearly all schools
will elaborate the program in vari

unique ideas will be brought out.

News of a remarkable nature
comes from Hazlewood cemetery,
near Montezuma, la. One day last
week Mr. Charles Hloek, wishing to
remove the remains of his wife,
who had died eight years belore,
opened her grave. He found it full
of water and was astonished nt the
weight of the coffin. Thecombined
strength of five men finally got the
coffin out of the grate, and when it
was opened it was found that the
action of the water had turned the
body to solid stone, preserving its
natural appearance to a remarkable
degree. Even a bouquet of flowers
held by the dead woman was per
fectly petrified. The skin was fair.
The hair wjs black and glossy as

Secretary Rusk's Views.
From Saturday' puiy
Secretary Rusk said to-day: "Mr.
Harrison's nomination is only the
logical coiu lu.-i..n of the unanimous
verdict of approval passed upon
his administration. The short term
of four years justifies a renomina
tion by his party, whenever a prcsi
dent's administration receives the
country's unqualified endorsement.
Moreover, stability ol public affairs
is essential to the hut-mess interests
ot the country which always sulTcr
from frequent changes"!
A report which gained general
circulation that Secretary Mlaine
bad placed his resignation in Un
hands of the president is officially
contradicted. It was followed soon
after by another that if be had not
done so already he certainly would
do so before the convention meets.
All sorts of rumors are being cir
culated. One of the latest of which
the president is a victim is to the
cited (hat it by Saturday night Mr.
Mlaine has not written a letter de
clining to have his name used at
Minneapolis, Mr. Harrison will
recognize him as a candidate and
withdraw his own candidacy. At
the white house this was said to be
too absud to be considered, much
less denied. Another story, which
received mon credence for a time,
has it that Cliauucey M. Depew has
sent a telegram to some of the
leading republicans, the purport of
which is that the conservative men
of the party at Minneapolis are
seriously concerned at Hie grave
possibility of dissension in the party
unless a change is made in the tac
tics of Mr. illaine's friends. The
plan of action proposed is to haven
mutual friend of Mr. Mlaine ami Mr.
Harrison call tipt'it Mr. 1 Uaiac to-day
and urge him to use the same frank
ness and candor now that he dis
played in 1SSM. This story cannot
be traced to any authoritative
source, nor can it be learned that
any conference of republican lead
ers to take action in this direction
has been called, and the story is
generally discredited.
Rather Expensive F urt.
Charles Meyer, a farmer living
near Mauley, Cass county, arrived in
Lincoln yesterday to see the circus.
He was either misdirected or his in
clinations led him to the wrong
epiarter, for he wound up his sight
seeing in n notorious colored dive.
After drinking several rounds with
the dusky sirens of the place he was
seized by several stalwart Senegnin
bians, held down tin a bed while
several others went through hie
pockets and robbed him of flOH in
cash. lie was then fired from the
house. He at once reported the
case to the police and a few hours
later Charlie Smith, Charles John
son, Charles ("later, Lillie Lewis,
Gertie St rick man and Alice Johnson,
all colored, were arested for the
crime. They will be tried under
the state law.- Hee.
World's Fair Notes.
The Ecuador commissioners have
had constructed a far simile of in
famous palace of the Inca Perca
the ruins of which stand near the
city of Otiito, and will exhibit it at
the fair.
A topographical map of the Get
tysburg battlefield and models of
the centennial exposition, and of
Independence hall will appear in
the Pennsylvania exhibit. A pub
lic spirited citizen will contribute
the first named, and the city of
Philadelphia will furnish the last
two.
The German "vill ige," for which
the exposition authorities granted a
concession some time ago, will oc
cupy a space 2."u by 70 feet on Mid
way Plaisauce. The features of the
exhibit are a medieval German
town, with a market place and town
hall, which will contain the German
ethnographic museum. Around
the town will be farmhouses from
different sections of the German
empire occupied by natives. In a
medieval German castle there will
be a restaurant presided over by
caterers from Merlin. Another
interesting feature of the town will
be an ancient monastery establish
ment. Then there will be large
concert gardens, in which about
XfW people can sit at tables, while
two German bands wi'l play. The
construction work has been in pro
gress for several weeks at Frank-fort-on-tiie-Main.
The contractors
are Phillip llol.mann & Co., the
builders of the imperial palace at
Strassbnrg and many other cele
brated structures in Germany.
The French government lias con
sented that plaster casts be made
for the world's fair of the numerous
art treasures in the'frocadero, Paris.
The exposition authorities will bear
the expense, which will be some
thing abo e S2.-,0(J0. The collection
will be a very fine one and w ilt oc
cupy a conspicuous place in the fine
arts building. After the fair the
collection will be placed in the pro
jected Chicago museum, where, it is
believed it will prove of great benfit
to American artists and of much in
terest to visitors.

The world's W. C. T. I'. concluded
that it did not care for pace on
which to erect a separate edifice at

When it young man simply de

a young woman with christian tact

ladies can demand, for the sake of
Jesus, who never reproaclied a
woman, abstinence as a prerequis

she would rather attend a few than

Hon. Alexander II. Stevens' decla

seventy years ago: "This county,"
said Mr. Stevens, "was the happit

county of Georgia, and the year I
lived there was the only year of my

"The best protection a young
woman can have in this city," said
a big policeman on the Mroadway
squad, New York, "is o,-,e of (hose
little silver crosses that the King's
Daughters wear. I've noticed that
uow a-days the professional masher
will look first at the bosom of a
woman's dress and if that liit'i
cross is dangling from a buttonhole
he passes her by without even a
stare. It's the same way on street
cars as on the street. The young
woman who wears one of those
badges has got the whole carload ol
men to take care of her and jump
on the fellow that dares to onnoy
her. The cross is getting to bt
looked on with the same respect
and defense as a nun's garb. As a
safeguard it beats the average po
