STATE FAIR OBSERVATIONS The Fair Is a i;rat Miow ami tirewt Hiff Success In Kvery Wy. Every nook and corner, except one, of the agricultural hall i3 filled to re pletion with the greatest dispiay ever made in the state. It ia simply aston ishing what one sees at every turn. Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon have each a great display. The fruit ex hibits of the two latter are simply marvellous. The fisheries building is the center of attraction to many who never saw anything so nice. The promise of the management to treat the press of the state well was poorly kept. The art hall is a gem in its way, but is nearly as hot as hades. The A. O. U. W. and the . W. O. W. societies made visitors comfortable and demonstrated that their orders were not merely insurance societies. Blood is thicker than water and, while old line life insurance agents were in evidence with tlieir mouths, the fra ternal orders were taking care of their people and making them comfortable. The alfalfa palace was poorly pat ronized, because it was too far out of the way. The poultry exhibit is the largest and best ever made in -the west and so was the swine exhibit, for that mat ter. The farmer who could look through the implement show without interest and profit is no good farmer. The horticultural hall was a feast to the eyes as well as the mind. The ex hibits were almost on a par with those at the world's fair and Cass county is well up at the front but the, dust was so prevalent that it greatly spoiled the beauty of the displays. Dave Miller did well with his fruit display but should have had help. The management will find it neces sary to do some sprinkling in after years if they want to atttract the crowds. Efficient and comfortable handling of the crowds by the railways would have added several thousand to every days' attendance. Many have been discouraged from going because of the uncertainty of getting to and from the grounds in comfort. Each road ought to have a double track to the fair grounds to handle the crowds properly. Yesterday was dusty enough at the state fair grounds, but today must have been a terror. The grounds are new and much grading has been done, so that the earth is lust in condition to work up into dust. The illuminations and parade of the military and the civic societies of Om aha was a most magnificent spectacle. Political Pointers. There will be no lack of candidates for sheriff before the democratic con vention if appearances count for any thing. The names of Wm. I). Wheeler, John Connally, Wiley Black, Wm. Taylor, and J. C. McBride will be presented and probably that of S. U. Patterson. George Sawyer of Weeping Water is spoken of as a suitable candidate for county clerk on the democratic ticket. It is conceded that he is a good man for the place. Lyman James of Greenwood, the populist candidate tor treasurer, was in town today. Lyman is a good man, albeit we are reluctantly compelled to turn him down. Interest in the coming democratic convention increases as September 25th approaches. Judge Archer Is a Candidate. Interested parties having circulated reports to the effect that he had with drawn from the field as a candidate for the nomination for county judge, Judge Archer said to a Journal re porter today: "You can say for me that such is not the case. While I am not trying to influence a single delegate to the coming county con vention in his actions, I shall remain in the field until I am either nominated or defeated for that place." Lulu Bamge, one of the soiled doves who were cinched by the police re cently, was lodged in jail this morn ing for non-payment of her fine and costs. Her father, John Carnes, paid $1.50 for her and she was taken in to lay out" the balance, $4.75, in jail. She is the wife of Julius Ilamge. It will be to your interest to take a look at Joe & Frank's new clothing the best and cheapest ever shown in Plattsmouth. I I .11 I -II -I George and Adam Weichel and their wives of Jefferson county, Neb., who have been attending the state fair, came down last evening for a visit with Phil Thierolf and family. Mr. Thierolf had not seen the brothers since he was six years of age, in Ger many. They will visit here over Sun day. Ilomeseekers Excursion. The B. & M. will sell tickets to points in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and southern points Sept. 10th and 24th at one fare for the round trip, plus $2.00.

Republican County Convention, When the republican convention met at Nehawka at almost 1 o'clock many party leaders were at sea as to the outcome. Well-laid plans of old politicians had been knocked in the head by primary caucuses, and so much canvassing had been done that nobody could tell whafc would be the end. Chairman Newell called the conven tion to order, and by previous appoint ment, recognized a Tipton delegate who proposed S. S. English, the red headed rooster of Eagle for chairman, and he was elected without opposition. The selection was a most fortunate one, for he was able to preserve good order and keep the body in a good humor throughout. W. B. Perry was elected secretary, and he was also a good man for the place. This done and Delles Denier popped up with a prepared resolution permitting Judge Chapman to select his delegates to the judicial conven tion. It plainly took people by sur prise, but uo opposition was offered to it. After preliminary skirmishing as to the order of business. Hon. Jno. A. Davies presented the name of George Houseworth as a fit subject for slaughter for clerk of the court and the convention agreed with him. For couuty clerk the names of Jas. Robertson, W. A. Swearingen and J. M. Teegarden were presented and after five ballots the former was de clared the candidate. For treasurer there w&s a prolonged CDntest. Five candidates were named S. A. Davis, Thos. Pollock, Isaac Wiles, G. II. Wiedeman and A. B. Eikenbary. The first vote showed that Mr. Davis was mucn weaker and Mr. Pollock stronger than anticipated, while Mr. Wiles was hardly in the race after that. The nomination went to Mr. Eikenbary on the sixth ballot. Six candidates were in the field for county judge: Denier, l:!air, Barnett, Douglass, Beeson and Spurlock the latter winning the sixth ballot, chiefly because Mr. Beeson could Hot use his second ward delegation to trade with. Mr. Barr, who two months ago had the nomination in his hand, only got 22 votes. Mr. Spurlock was presented to the convention as the kid candidate. The sheriff's office was the center on which the other nominations had turned, and it brought four candidates in the field. These were D. M. John son, J. C. Eikenbary, Thos. E. Will iams and Harvey Holloway. The speech of nomination of Eikenbary made by F. II. Steimker was a feature of the convention, but while intended to gain votes for the sheriff was of doubtful utility. Mr. Holloway was nominated on the third ballot,the vote standing: Eikenbary, S; Williams S4; Holloway 104. Mr. Farley was renominated with out opposition, and after a little con tention John Clement was also re nominated for corner. E. E. Hilton was named fr surveyor by acclam ation. Capt. L. D. Bennett was named by the delegates from the first district for commissioner. The republicans who met in conven tion Saturday were not concerned about principles, but gave their attention to candidates. The country could go to ruin so far as they cared, but they must Lave their several friends named for public office without fail. That is just what ails too many men in this country. They are satisfied to let other people think for them some man with a great name can do their thinking and its all right if it only has party endorse ment. They look to the good deeds of their party and do not pay any atten tion to its evil deeds until some great calamity befalls our country through the misdeeds of their leaders, or their trusted leaders are found to be corrupt and in league with evil associations. Corporate wealth has grown into a monster devil-fish, through the manip ulations of republicanism, drawing everything within its reach into its slimy folds and making little el9e than slaves out of the masses; but the average republican has given no thought to that fact, and depends on his party's leaders to protect the people while the people, realizing that their followers will not desert the party, barter away the people's interests with impunity. The trouble is generic with republicans. They believe and teach that the people should be cared for by the government, and throw the respon sibility of government off from the in dividual, the citizen, to those in author ity, and the citizens not caring to take any burdens on his shoulders that he avoid, lets matters drift as they will, satisfied if he can only see his friends preferred for public office. Such are the whys and wherefores of republican ism. Watch for the date of Joe & Frank's grand fall opening. Dressmaking.
