Bryan Raps Coolidge Over Coal Strike I ..incoin, Sept. 4.—GovernorBryan today declared that President Cool idge’s recent statement urging gov ernors of states in the bituminous field to appoint district representa tives to enlarge distribution of coal, was "unfortunate."

"The president's statement was very unfortunate,” he said, "In that it tended to signify to the coal dealer that the government was going to help him sell coal, and he immedi ately raised the prices. If carried out, I think the president’s ideas) Would cost the working people of the nation millions of dollars.” Jail Condition Are Rapped by Henry Beal County Attorney Beal yesterday morning complained over the "in justice" to some 25 prisoners given penitentiary sentences and who are still being held in the county Jail here "Men are being kept there In the jail for many months, unable to see the ground or sky, nnd when they come rAit they won't have any respect for either society or themselves,” said the county attorney.

Over 10,000 Farmers at State Fair Fifty Chicago Dancing Girls Stage Big Show—Cattle and Fish Exhibits At* tract Attention. Horseshoe Tournament Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Neb.. Sept. 4.—There’s no ice water flowing In the veins of the Nebraska farmers attending the 55th annual Nebraska state fair. This was proved by the reception the men and boys from the farm, numbering 10,000 gave the 50 dancing, twirling, barellmbed chorus girls of Chicago under the direction df Ernie Young, who is puttifig on his show west of Chicago for the second time. Giving fair visitors a specimen of the "Great White Way" life was an innovation on the part of the fair management. It will be done again because it certainly has proved a suc cess. Then, there is a midway. It is oc cupied by the Con T. Kennedy shows. This carnival company appeared In Council Bluffs last week. Nor should it be forgotten that politics intermlftgles with a state fair. Candidates galore are present at the fair grounds, mixing with the visi tors. For example, among those present are A. N. Mathers of Oerlng, A. J. Weaver of Falls City, Perry Reed of Henderson, all prospective candidates for republican nomina tion for governor. Senator W. B. Baning, whose frleds are nursing a boom for him for the gubernatorial nomination the democratic ticket. Is another handshaker at the fair grounds. Governor Bryan dispelled all fear that criticism would be aimed at the established habit of the fair board to give members of the legislature free passes to the grounds. The gov ernor asserted that, to his mind, there was a vast difference in giving state passes to legislatures and feeding them free fish from the Gretna hatch ery. The governor directed consid erable criticism at the fish dinners given legislators several months ago. Attractive Fish Exhibit.

A cross between a guinea and pheasant, raised by John Gilham. a Nibornra hotel man, is the freak of the exhibit. I dirge Showing of Cattle. Tho cattle exhibit, Including mnrt than 1,200 head, 600 of them of the beef classes, Is the largest in his tory. according to Con McCarthy of York. This exhibit attracted the eye of former Governor fi. R. McKelvIe all afternoon. "The most remarkable feature of the entire rattle show, to my mind, is the success of the boys' and girls’ calf clubs." McCarthy said. "These kids have 55 baby beeves on display and winners of the first and second prizes were girls, the win ner of the second prize being an orphan girl." Among the Nebraska exhibitors this year are Congressman Ashton C. Rhallenherger, Alma; F. A. Sloan. Birchard; George Hussler and son, Holbrook; Paul Larson and son. Wolbach: A. J. Niles and son.
