Mr . J , 1C. Mniimoii Siin > rn u Stroke on
Saturday.
Mrs. J. K. Simpson was stricken with
paralysis Saturday and for n while It
looked ns though she might BO before
her husband , who has boon considered
pnst human assistance for some time.
Mrs. Simpson remained unconscious af
ter the stroke until this morning , when
her mind cleared up and she was very
much Improved. The attack was un
doubtedly brought on by the long con
tinued strain over the condition of her
husband , who bus been sick all sum
mer. Lack of rest nnd the wreck of
her nervous system with the knowl
edge that Mr. Simpson cannot recover ,
proved too much for the frail body ,
nnd Saturday she gave way. Her son ,
who had returned temporarily to his
homo In southern Nebraska , was has
tily notlllcd and arrived last evening.
Her daughter , Mrs. Whonton , and Mr.
Simpson's sister. Miss .Simpson , wore
with them nt the tlmo. Col. Simpson's
condition wns reported practically un
changed this morning.

NKLK1II. Neb. Sept. fl. From n stuff
correspondent : Nellgh Is this week
demonslrntlng what can be done by n
town when the people net In harmony ,
nil Intent upon the nccompllnhmont of
one common purpose. The carnival
which cloHCH there today Is the great
est success of anything of the kind
Hint him ever been attempted by n
small town In Nebraska. The frui
tion of the ambition of Nelelghltcs
ban been brought about through the
united action of the people. When n
public meeting wan hold nnme tlmo
ngo nnd It WIIH decided to hold n car
nival , everyone wont to work to mnkn
It n success , nnd they have succeeded
beyond their utmost oxpectntlons.
There WIIH not n single Individual In
the town to hold back , not n croaker ,
not n kicker , lloforo the llrst day of
the carnival S.fiOO tickets to the park
had been sold nnd every Item of ex
pense bud been provided for. It In the
most effective example ) of what can be
accomplished by nil pulling together
Hint the writer hns over witnessed.
Nellgh yesterday bad the greatest
crowd that was over In the town. Kv-
ery Incoming train brought extra
conches loaded with people nnd from
early In the morning until after noon
the roads In all directions leading Into
Nellgh wt-.ro covered with teams nil
pointed toward the carnival. And Nu-
llgh had provided attractions worth
the while of a visit. The decorations
of the streets and business houses arc
most beautiful. Hrlght colored
streamers are draped across the streets
In canopy style , and every business
house displays a generous amount of
bunting , Intertwined with national
colors nnd myriads of electric lights.
There nre free shows gnloro on the
streets , nnd If the visitor Is not sur
feited by these there nro a grcnt num
ber of concessionaires who offer at
tractions of more or less merit *
One feature of the carnival Is es
pecially worthy of note. There Is not
n gninhllng device In the town. On
no pretext whntevor nro they nllowcd
on the streets nor even In n back room.
At Hie 1'nrk.
lllvorslde park , which Is nn elegant
resort nnd In which every person In
Nellgh feels n personal Interest nnd
tnkcs n pride , presented nn unlimited
Hoono yesterday afternoon. It Is es
timated that there wore between 0-
000 and S.OflO people In the park dur
ing the races nnd sports. Tint griind
stnnd IIIIM a sealing capnclly of 1.200.
and HO grentw us the rush nt the gate
tlmt more seats wore sold than there
are scats , nnd the money was refund
ed to late coiners who got Into the
stnnd but could not llnd scats. The
seats under the shade of the inngnlll-
t.-ont ticos afforded resting places for
many while the fences for more than
half wny around thu ( rack two to six
deep by people Intent upon seeing the
rnccM.
The match race between Shade On
nnd S'nr Onelda , Jr. , wns rather n dis
appointment. It wns quickly demon
strated that Onelda Is no match for
Shade On , nnd as n consequence the
latter was not driven out by Mr. Kay
lloth heats were easily taken by
Shade On , thu last In 2:20. : The time
of the llrst heat wns not announced.
After the hist boat , Shade On cnmo
out to glvo nn exhibition mile , In nn
attempt to lower his record on n half
mile track , 2:11. : but just nt the start
he went lame , nnd the audience wns
disappointed. Shnde Oil's record on a
mile truck Is 2OS' : . He Is undoubted
ly the greatest horse In north Ne
braska.
The 2iR : : trot or pace for a purse of
$16(1 ( , developed Into an Interesting con
test. There weio four entries nnd

The balloon man who attempted to
glvo an ascension last evening had
trouble. Just ns the balloon wns about
ready to be cut loose , a tiny column
of smoke appeared at the top , Indicat
ing that the great hag of gas had
sprung n leak. This Increased almost
Imperceptibly until suddenly there wns
n roar nnd n great rent appeared half
wny across the top of the balloon nnd
It fell to the ground nn Inert mass.
Later the aeronaut made repairs and
succeeded In making n very pretty as
