Improvements at the State Fair Grounds
Now that tho state of Nebraska owns
tho fair grounds each year something is
added in tho way of a permanent im
provement Lust year at an expense of
2500 a public comfort building was
erected for women containing a largo
and commodious waiting room also
abundant toilet accommodations with
complete furnishings all connected with
the city sewerage system thus iosuring
perfect sanitation More than 81000
was expended in tho improvement of tho
race track and there is no question that
tho state fair ground race track is among
tho very best none better On this
track Jay Eye See lowered the worlds
trotting record on a half mile track also
in 1903 Cresceus lowered tho worlds trot
tint recored on a half mile track and it
is confidently expected that on Tuesday
August 30th Dan Patch tho world re
nowned pacer will on this track lower
the worlds pacing record on a half mile
track and there will be a multitude of
people thero to see him accomplish the
feat This year additional shade trees
have been planted and cement walks are
being laid at tho principal crossings It
is also the intention to enlarge the poul
try building which of late years has
been greatly overcrowed
Without question the most needed im
provement on the grounds is a stock
judging pavillion where live stock of all
kinds can bo judged and exhibited and
where those interested can sit in comfort
while such stock is on exhibition No
braska has more than S128000000 in
vested in livo stock and no finer speci
mens of improvtd breeds of horses cat
tle swine and sheep can bo found than
are exhibited at our state fair and it is
highly important that a commodious
and well arranged stock pavillion be
erected for tho proper exhibition of such
improved breeds
President Mellor Secretary Furnas
and the board of managers are desirous
that such a building bo erected at the
earliest possible date
Brutally Tortured

and unmerciful torture has perhaps

endured insufferable pain from rheuma
tism and nothin relieved me though I
tried everything known I came across
Electric Bitters and its the greatest

The Time When Ilfl Kindness and
Sympathy Count tltist
It is during the formative period tho
time when a man is seeking to get a
foothold that help counts for most
when oven tho slightest aid is great
A few books lent to Andrew Carnegie
when he was beginning his career
were to him an inspiration He has
nobly repaid the loan made posterity
his debtor a millionfold by his benefi
cence in sprinkling libraries over tho
whole country Help the saplings the
young growing trees of vigor tho
mighty oaks have no need of your aid
The heartening words should comu
when needed not when they seem only
hypocritic protestations or dextrous
preparations for future favors Co
lumbus surrounded by his mutinous
crew threatening to kill him alone
amid the crowd had no one to stand
by him but he nearcd land and riches
opened before them Then they fell at
his feet proclaimed him almost a god
nud said he truly was inspired from
heaven Success transfigured him a
long line of pebbly beach and a few
trees made him divine A little pa
tience along the way a little closer
companionship a little brotherly love
in his hours of watching waiting aud
hoping would have been great balm to
his soul
It is in childhood that pleasures
count most when the slightest invest
ment of kindness brings largest re
turns Let us give the children sun
light love companionship sympathy
with their little troubles and worries
that seem to them so great genuine
Interest in their growing hopes their
vague unproportioned dreams and
yearnings Let us put ourselves into
their places view the world through
their eyes so that we may gently cor
rect the errors of their perspective by
our greater wisdom Such trifles will
make them genuinely happy happier
by far than things a thousand times
greater that come too late From The
