HARRISON', NEBRASKA
Kajertnc the Fair.
Chicago, Jane 14 Her royal high
ness, the Princess E alalia, has decided
to outinue her Tisiu to the World's
fair daring the remaining days of her
stay in Chicago. She is delighted with
her experience in Chicago and at Jack
son park, and has determined to put in
as much sightseeing as U possible. She
goes back to New York on Wednesday
morning, where toe government will
bid her adieu, and where she will cease
to be the official guest of the nation.
The infanta will not leave for Spain
before the last week in June, and dur
ing the interval the New York tuft
hunters will probably have a chance to
entertain royalty. When the infanta
was in Xew York i. .vould have been
overwhelmed withti-- attentions of the
"400'' had they been permitted to jerk
down the official ba-ierthat has sur
rounded her since has been the
guest of Uncle S; . The infanta ap
preciates the co:.iilions which sur
rounded her present visit, and as she is
a eat stickler for court etiquette, she
h followed the program originally
m pped out to the letter. At the same
ti o Eulalia is said to be thoroughly
di nocratic, and her whole course while
In Chicago demonstrates that she is in
for a good time. 1 he best and most
intt-resting thing she has ever seen is
the exposition, aud as she was sent over
to look at it in the place of the queen
ret 'it, she lias determined to "do'' it
thoroughly.
Cowboy llucc llegun
Rapid City, S. D, June 14. The
muc alked about cowboy race from
Chajron to Chicago egan last evening
at I o'clock at the ci u-k ,i a pistol shot.
If all the entries sta - there will be be
tween tuirty and furty in the seven
hundred mile iield. ) he best opinion
is that the man who avarages fifty
miles per day will win the race. Each
man leads an extra horse, must ride in
a thirty-pound saddle and weigh at
least 120 pounds. Au attempt may be
made by the officers of the humaniter
ian society at Chadron, to interrnpt
the race, but a committee has pro
nounceu all fears -of cruelty to the
horses as idle and has determined that
the great race shall be run. The riders
will not be allowed to ride over 12
hours at a stretch and every pre
caution will be taken to prevent cruel
ty. The members of the committee
state tonight that the uunoane society
will make no effort to stop the race.

Do JTot Agree.
Washington, June 10. General
Tracy of Albarny, who is one of the
most conspicious anti-silver leaders in
jcongress and who is regarded as one of
the strongest frier ds of the administra
tion on the floor of the house, is in the
ity and saw the president. General
Tracy says that the Sherman law can be
repealed at the coming session without
the passage of any substitute measure
or the adoption of any compromises
with the free silver men. A proposi
tion to repeal this law will have a large
majority, he says, in house, and there
are forty-five votes for it in the senate.
He also cave it as his opinion that the
proposed repeal of the 10 per cent tax
on the circulation of state banKS would
fail of p issaire. Coming from General
Tracy these views are of more than or
d. nary value. He has carefully studied
ihe situation, knows every mov? that
lias been made and evidently speaks
)j the card.
JONES THINKS DIFFKIillXTLY.
Senator Jot.e3 of Ark a isas, took au
entirely different view from tiiat enter
tained by General Tracy. 'The Sher
man law can never be repealed in the
senate unless some other measure look
ing to the coinage of silver is substi
tuted. 1 am opposed to the Sherman
law and spoke and voted against, it but
I would nor. vote for its repeal unless
some other legislation was enacted fav
orable to silver. I would be willmgto
have the old Uland act re-enacted or
some measure like it, and would sup

have been used in the Borden murders.
For many weeks storie3 about, trie
hatchet and axes have been published
but during all the long ten in i In that
have e apsed he has scrupnl msiy kept
the secret that the weapon was found
on the day the famous butcheries were
discovered. His description of the weap

well known here that two-thirds of the
population believe he has really found
the weapon with wtich the deeds were
committed. Many of Lizzie liordeti's
friends feel very much exercised over
the testimony.
tire Ba4 la Xew T.rk.
Xew York, June la. A six-story
building in Montgomery street, filled
with sweater shops, caught fire at 8:3)
o'clock this morning and in the wild
rush to the street of the SaQ people
working three, including two men and
one woman, names unknown, were
killed. Several were iniured. The
firemen are still scouring the different
floors. It is probable the search will
result in adding to the death lift. The
inmates, men. women and children of
all ages, were ail Polish Hebrews. The
fire is supposed to have started from a
stove for heating irons in an apart
ment near the stairway. Soon all the
exits were cut off and the rear fire es
capes were rendered useless by the fact
that the iron shutters were spiked fast
on all the windows leading to tbera.
All rushed for the lire escapes in front
and fought for them like demons.

came two men who fell ou their heads

subdue the flames.

ArchbUhop Zeoabralowich Mobbed.
Vienna, June 10. Archbishop Zem

students in Lemburg in view of bis
visit to the pope which the poles regard
as treason to the Greek Catholic church
of which he is a prolate. The archbish

tion from his home when the students
attacked him. They threw rotten eggs
at the archbishop and his coachman,
and stopped the horses and tried to
climb into the carriage. Five men

archbishop with their canes, while oth
ers tossed dirt, eggs and vegetables over
the back. The archbishop was caught
twice by the collar and . half dragged

Xew Yoi:k, June 15 The disapear
ance of thirty pieces of lace from the

to the World's fair is unaccountable to
the Italian Chamber of Commerce in
this city, to which the laces were con
signed. C Horioliuo, secretary of the
chamber, said:
"The laces were in two trunks, which
were sealed with the government seal
and Queen Margharita's private seal.

Caibo, June 13. Fifty convicts,
while returning from the quarries to
Tourah prison, near this city, over
powered the mounted guards and tried
to escape. They constituted the last
squad of a gang of six hundred and the
guards ahead did not know of the
mutiny until the men had captured the
rifles of the rear guards. As the fifty
convicts fled eleven of the advance
guards started in pursuit. The twenty-five
guards left with the other 530
convicts kept them quiet by firing re
peatedly over their heads. Half a mile
from the spot where the mutiny broke
out the eleven guards overtook the
fugitives and ordered them to sur
renaed. ihe convicts, who had arms,
answered with a volley which wounded
two men and killed thirty-nine con
victs. The other eleven convicts es
caped. The convicts are believed to
have been encouraged to revolt by the
recent action of the native courts in
punishing guards who shot at runaway
prisoners who had been committed to
their charge.
Winter When'. Keporta.
Chicago, June li.The Farmer's
Heview has received from correspon
dents in eleven states reports regarding
the condition of wiuter wheat. The
review tomorrow, in 'a summary, will
sav :
- The condition of winter wheat has
improved greatly in the last few days,
but will fall short of a good crop. In
Illinois the improvement is very notic
able, but so much of the area of wheat
has been destroyed that some sections
will get little benefit irom the improve
ment. Some correspondents report
that nine-tenths of the wheat acreage
in their localities has been abandoned.
J he improvement has continued in
Indiana and Ohio. In the latter state
the ou! look is good. Little change is
seen in the condition of wheat in Mich
igan, but in Kent uc key the improve
merit is marked and a good crop is as
sured. In Missouri and Kansas con
ditions are still adverse, though there
have been improvements in some local
ities. Iowa and w isconsin promise
comparatively good yield.

Had a Large Attendance.
World's Fair UnorxDs, Chicago,
June 13. The uncertainty regarding
the Sunday opening of the fair kept
the early attendance down to a low
mark. Chief Justice Fuller's action in
granting the supersedas was not made
known far enough away from Chicago
Inticeto bring a crowd of country
men, and as a result yesterdays
sightseers were for the .. most part
Chicagoans. The morning was damp
and cold. A heavy fog blew in from
the lake, hiding the towers of the great
buildings and making heavy overcoats
almost a necessity. Along about 1
o'clock the sun came out warm, how
ever, dispersing the mists and render
ing the afternoon bright and pleasant.
The crowds began to come about 2
o'clock and from that hour until dark
every mode of transportation was
tested to its fullest capacity. The at
tendance for the day was good, exceed
ing that of last Sunday by about 15,000.
Most of the state buildings were closed,
as they have been on previous Sundays,
and those whose doors were poor had
very few visitors.
AVOItK HKHIM) TUB CURTAINS.
Considerable work was done in
manufactures building behind the
drawn curtains of some of the ex
hibits. The doors to Japan's pavilion
in the north end of the building were
barred and two guards stood on the
watch outside. Everything in the En
glish section was shut up, while neigh
bor, France, across the wide aisle had
thrown her big gates wide open as
usual. Everything In the German secj
lion was in its everyday appearance,
but half of Austria's display was con-,
cealed by long white curtains. The
jewelry section of the United States
department was closed, but the dry
goods display remained unchanged
from week days. In one or two cases
painters were at work varnishing and
brightening up the display stands. The
main doors to the lielgium section'
were open, but mo it oi her exhibits
were curtained off. Kusssia, Switzer
land and Italy also had the bars up,
keeping out many people ho wanted
to see the treasures, liehind all these
curtained departments, however, men
were busily engaged in dressing
windows and arranging displays to
render them if possible more uttactive.
A large force of men had possession of
the Spanish section in the big hall, and
they were working hard, under the
supervision of the assistant commis
sioner. It is the intention of the
Spaniards to have their display in
readiness in two or three days and
then give a reception to the infanta.

unanimous that there Is blams some

many a man echoed the words of Dr.
Bartlett that the accident was not one
of the responsibility for which could be
laid upon God. The more the matter
was discussed, and the farther along
the work of clearing away the debris
progressed, the more evident this be
came. The uninjured clerks in the
doomed building were about the scene
of the disaster, discussing the situation
and holding little indignation meetings.
It is evident that the feeling runs very
