The Stntfl Fntr, Tho Nobraska stato fair was a de cidod success, both in tho matter of ex hibits and attendance. If anybody had any doubt about this a visit to tho grounds was sutllclent to dlspol tho doubt. Tho weather for most part was not nil that could have been de sired, nnd yet tho attondanco went considerably beyond tho record, and would undoubtedly Imvo been much greater hud not heat and dust inter fered. Forty thousand pcoplo are credited with being on tho grounds Wednesday, and at least 10,000 in ad dition to this number on Thursday. There was a lack of means of trans portation, tho dust was not properly luld, and somo other things were left undone thnt should have been attend ed to. Tho managers havo gained ex perience that will enable thorn another year to havo all matters arranged and carried out in a satisfactory way. The agricultural exhibit was tho best ever seen in Nobraska, and this is nay in? a good deal when it is considered how many splendid exhibitions tho stato has held. All tho various depart ments wero full to overflowing, and ovidence was present on every hand thnt Nobraska is not only a productive state, but that her citizens take prldo and satisfaction In making It known to tho world. Counties vied with coun ties in elaborate displays, and all were so good, so full and complete, that It was diillcult to draw comparisons. Omaha took caro of tho largo crowd in a splendid way, making her claim good to every protension previously set forth. Tho city was brilliantly illum inated through tho cntiro week nnd en tcrtalnment elaborately provided for tho thousands of guests within her gates. Hands innumerable wrought enchanting music on all sides, and tho parades arranged for tho various even ings wero up to expectations und drew hundreds of thousands of sightseers. Tho Nebraska stato fair for 1805 passes into history ns one of the most success ful ever hold, and if thcro was any thing lacking tho experience that has been gained will enable tho managers to provide it in 181d. The fair has ad vertised tho state's resources in a man ner that will bring good fruit in groat abundance in coming years. Irrigation Content Dlnrlnlon.

" WORK OF BOND SYNDICATE They Ilmlro to Avoid Any Action Which Would Havo the Kffect of Checking the Steadily Increasing Iltmlurx l'roaperlty Thnt In Now In All M-ctloim of (tin Country. Washington, Sept. 23. The easy as surance nnd conlidcucuof the treasury ofllcials that thcro will not bo a bond Jssuc nnd that tho treasury gold re serve will not ngln bo boriously de pleted Is explained by a prominent of ficial, who says that through tho good ofliccs of tho bond syndicate, promises havo been secured from bankers In tho principal cities of tho country that In caso of necessity they can be called upon to place up to S.IO,000,00() of gold in the treasury in exchange for legal tender. This important matter has bcon quietly negotiated by Messrs. Belmont aud Morgan during tho last fifteen days. Tho reasons which havo led to tho action arc varied, but all tend to tho bamo end. On tho part of the admin istration it is recognked as good poli tics to avoid another bond issue and throw tho responsibility and necessity for remedial financial legislation upon tho incoming congress. It was deter mined by tho president several months ago that there would bo no bond issue until after tho elections, as nu issue previous thereto would havo tho effect of strengthening tho hands of the free silver men nnd tho Populists. On tho other side tho syndicate wishes to avoid tuiy action which would havo tho effect of checking tho steadily Increasingbusines prosperity. Tho parties to the present voluntary combination for tho protection of tho treasury gold reservo are almost en tirely within tho list of banks that wero allowed to participate In tho handling of tho last bond Ust.e.

Tho United State Unlikely to Take Any roftltlto Action tit rrencnt. Washington, Sopt 18. Savo vaguo newspaper reports, nothing is known nt tho statu department of tho Inten tion of any of the governments of tho American republics to rccognlzo tho belligerency of tho Cuban revolution ists, and it is qulto certain that no lonnai nppncatlon for such recogni tion by tho United States has been made. It Is not perceived hero how the insurgents can reap any substan tial advantages at this timo for such recognition. Tho only comfort that thoy would derive would bo from tho moral effect of an assent by an Inde pendent power to tho proposition that they had assumed statehood. As far as tho United States is con cerned, it took such a pronounced stand in tho caso of tho late Brazilian insur rection that it could scarcely rccog nlzo tho insurgents in tho caso of Cuba at present without a complcto reversal of its position. It has held that, to entitle them to rceognltion.ln surgents must sot up a seat of govern ment and maintain it; that thoy must issue money, and must possess a navy to mako effectual nny blockade thoy wish to establish in short, that they must have an actual defacto govern ment.

"If the stato itself is under the Influcnco of criminals," wrote Mr. Warner, "how can it hope to reform criminals? Setting a thief to catch a thief was an old-timo doctrine, but tho plan of setting a thief to reform a thief has never yet been defended. Tho representatives of tho stato with which criminals aro most frequently brought into contact aro policemen, police justices, sheriffs, sheriffs' deputies and others only a shade if at all better than tho crim inals themselves. The hope for tho euro of criminals largely lies in cura tive treatment in tho early stages. Petty offenders and those on tho verge of criminality in tho largo cities sel dom or never get beyond this lino of guards, aud live moro or less in their presence. The police to them repre sent tho state." FATAL WEDDING FEAST. John and Simon Hancock Mortally Wounded nt a Urldul Ifce'cptlon, Columbia, Ky., Sept 18.

CRN CURE ASTHMA. A Leading l'hyilclnn nt Innt Dlnptivnr the Itemedy. The majority of sufferers rrorrr Afithma and kindred complnlnts, after trying Doctors nnd numberless Reme dies advertised ns positive cures, with out avail, have come to the conclusion that there is no cure for this most dis tressing disease, nnd these same per sons will be the more in doubt and skep tical when they learn through the col- Umnn ft tlln tirnaa Hint Tif 1 n.lr.l.,1. Schlftmann, the recognized authorltj, who has treated more cases of these dis eases than any living Doctor, has achieved success by perfecting a rem edy which not only gives relief in the worst cases, hut has positively cured thousands of sufferers who were con sidered Incurable. These were Just ns skeptical ns some of our readers now are. Dr. SchlfTmann's remedy no doubt possesses the merit which Is clnlmed for It or he would not authorize this pnper to announce that he Is not only willing to give free to each person suffering from Aathma, Hay Fever, Phthisic, or Bronchitis one free liberal trial packago of his cure, but urgently requests all sufferers to send him their name and' address nnd receive a package, abso lutely free of charge, knowing that in, making the claim he does for his cure a strong doubt may arise in the minds, of many and that a personal test, as he offers to nil, will be more convincing and prove Its merits than the publish ing of thousands of testimonials from others who have been permanently cured by the use of his Asthma cure. Dr. SchlfTmann's Asthma Cure," as It Is called, has been sold by all drug- ITtstS 6V(P llnrA It wna flraf lt.(M,1i.n.j although many persons may never have heard of It, and It Is with a view to reaching these that he makes this offer. This Is certainly a most generous nnd fair offer.and all who are suffering from any of the above complaints should write to him at once and avail them selves of tho same, as positively no freo samples can be obtained nfter Oct. 10.

The l'llot news paper of this city, upon tho awarding of the contract for school books to the Amer ican Uook company, printed a long article written and prepared by 11. K. Byrd, an agent and attorney forGfnn & Co., of New York, in which it vas charged that tho stato superlatendcut had been bribed by tho Americnn Iloolf company. The l'llot vas immediately sued for libel, und, after a live weeks' trial, which created an im mense amount of interebt throughout the state, a verdict for punitive damages was recently awarded, and tbo jury fouud that the statements made, wero faho and a deliberate lihol.
