WORLD'S FAIR WORK XEBB1SK1 TO X1KB AN.EDITCA- tioxai see WING. feme Suggestions, Plana aaa Klree- tlons for the Cialdauce el" ftekool OsBeere. The following suggestions, plans, and directions for tho guidance of the school officers and teachers in the preparation of tho material of the Ed ucational Exhibit for Nebraska are re spectfully' submitted. While intended in the main to be suggestive so far as the actual material is concerned, it is desired that careful attention be paid to the forms-agreed upon. An attrac tive, representative, and successful ex hibit is possible only by careful attention to these details. It is be lieved that there his been, left suffi cient room for tho exercise of the individual ingenuity of the teacher, which will result in sufficient variety in material presented. A confident appeal is made to the splendid body of Nebraska teachers for their cordial and enthusiastic co operation. Such, an opportunity has never before been presented us for showing what the schools of the state are doingf and it is probable that such another opportunity for Nebraska to do herself honor and make a reputa tion abroad will not present itself for many years to come. It matters not how good our schools may be, the world will judge our system very largely by what it sees of it at Chicago. Therefore let no first class 'school fail to make an exhibit. It is believed that the efforts along the proposed lines will give to the -schools an impetus, the. benefits of which will be far-reaching and lasting and that in more ways than' one the results will more than repay for the time and labor expended. Nebraska .is preparing to rival any of her sister states in the exposition of her material resources. Let her not fail to hold a place in the front rank in educational matters, to which she is entitled. It is proposed that, in order to stim ulate tho efforts of the schools of the state in the preparation of a superior educational exhibition at the world's fair, a call be made for a competitive exhibit during the State Teachers' as sociation to be held in Lincoln, holi day week. The university authorities have kindly placed at our disposal for this purpose Grant Memorial hall. In order lo place the competing schools as nearly as practicable on an equal and just footing, the following grouping has been made: First, those -schools in cities having a population of 10. 000 or more. Second, those schools in cities and towns having less that 10,000 inhabi tants, the schools including more than six departments. Third, all village schools having less than six departments. Fourth, rural schools. Fifth, academies and private schools. A committee, properly chosen, will select from each group the best repre sentative exhibit, showing the work of every department of tho entire school. These selected exhibits will be installed at Chicago. In addition to the above mentioned representative exhibits, the committee will seiect a definite number of indi vividual pieces of work in each sunject to be 6ent to tho world's fair. A cau tion in regard to tending an unneces sarily large amount of material and a useless repetition of similar things may not be amiss. Let your work ex cel in quality rather than quantity. kohmal schools, colleges and uni versities. Provisions have been made by the chief of the department of liberal arts for allowing these higher institutions of learnin'g'fd'make individual exhib its representing the peculiar charac teristics of each. While these institu tions wiil not be entirely, independent of the suite exhibit, they will be given considerable latitude in tho prepara tion of their work to be presented. The outlines given for the public schools will servd as suggestions for many details. It is desirable that each of the higher institutions of the state make a creditable showing of its iistory and work. Each of the following classes of in stitutions wiil make a collective ex hibit at the world's fair; and space for them is not included in the "state ex hibit: - Roman Catholic schools and col leges; kindergartens, manual training schools, etc.. not operated as part of a public school system; schools of technology and art; schools for the blind, the deaf, and the feeble minded. It is earnestly desired that each teacher, superintendent and school ex ecutive carefully consider this 'matter and 'commence-work with the begin ning -of school in September in the preparation of work along the lines indicated above, to the end that Ne braska may do herself justice educa tionally in the presentation at Chicago of an exhibit second to that of no state in the Union. More explicit and detailed informa tion concerning the preparation for educational work can be had by ad dressing the undersigned. Very respectfully, Fkank a. Baktok, Sun't Educa'l Den Omaha, Neb. DEPUTIES CALLED OUT. Homestead Strikers Make aa Attack oa a Koa-Uaton .Man. Homrstrad, Pa." Aug, 25. About 12:30 o'clock Nicholas Rattingan, who has a honse in Homestead, attempted to move his. effects to ri company house near the steel works. About 100 strikers gathered near the house and by jeers and throwing tin cans, stones, etc, frightened away the people moving, and Mr. Rattingan was threatened with assault. About fifteen deputies were called and suc ceeded in holding back the crowd. There is. much excitement and a com pany pf militia is under-arms ready to march in case of further trouble.

It is the general belief in the coal trade that they will order an advance Sept 1. - No positive Information forecasting this action has been received, but the trade has for months past managed to anticipate days in advance what the sales agents have done. It is gen erally Understood that the failure to make ah advance Aug. 1 was due to the protests of Western repre sentatives in the combine. They pointed out that the trade was too slow for this time of the year, and suc ceeded in convincing the Reading people that business might be stimu lated if prices were allowed to remain unchanged for another thirty days. It was said at the time that a doable advance would be made Sept. 1. Some coal dealers believe that only 25 cents will be added to the prices, but the majority think that the combine will not be satisfied with less than half a dollar. CLOUDBURST AT ftOANOKE. Great Damage Done to Property ad Oae Life Lost. fcoAxOKE, Va., Aug. 25. A cloud burst Visited Roanoke last night about il o'clock and within half an hour over 81,000,000 damage had been done and one life, if not more was lost. People in the business portion of the city, which is on low land, were the principal suffers. Every store on Salem avenue and Jeffer son street was flooded, and the contents badly damaged. A large sewer is being built along Salem avenue, and this ditch was soon flooded with water. Barney Smith, a blacksmith at the Roanoke machine works, fell into it and was drowned, nis body was recovered this morning. It is reported that two other bodies have been found, but it is impossible at this time to verify the report, Rain fell in torrents during the night and is falling now. Many sidewalks are washed away and the electric light plant Las been flooded.- OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER. finishing Tonches to the Carnival Prep arations A Singular Scheme or Street ThtevesA Novel Competition. St. Louis, Aug. 22. The streets of the city present a remarkable appear ance this week, every main thorough fare being adorned witlrarches.globes, set pieces, and other indispensables to a grand carnival. The great feature of the entire display is a grand celebra tion of the four hundredth anniversary of the voyage of Columbus. When the plans were made it was believed the world's fair would be held in 1892, and when the great event was postponed, the money for the celebra- tirtn sy iria rtanlVc nf lin Af icsiccinm vtuu was kitv vuitita va a&rf smjitjtsf had been subscribed. So" it was dc? umuu vu yu uu Willi mu rugraui as originally outlined, and thus it comes about thai the first great Columbian celebration will be held in St. Louis. The display with its 75,000- lights will cost St. Louis over $100,000, but the money is in the bank for the purpose, and there will be left fully four times the amount for next year's display. The detectives of the city, or at least those of them who have direct charge of the thefts that occur here, have been put to their trumps for a week past to stop a kind of stealing that is unique. Thousands of the colored g.obes for the lights along the streets next month have been put up for a week or more, the Illuminating com mittee desiring lo get a satisfactory test of the lamps uefore the first o- September. The globes repre sent about fifty thousand dollars. Since the men employed by the committee began to put the lamrs on the arches, a band of thieves have been following the workmen around, carrvintr off the globes by night and selling them. -The globes arc used in j almost every building where pretty I lighting1 is wanted, and the thieves found no difficulty in disposing of them at a good price. After a good deal of patient work, the detectives last week discovered the honse where the thieves hid the lamps, and by setting a watch, arrested the principal ones. Hundreds of the globes were lost, but they have been replaced, and it has been made the special duty of the police to keep an eye on them hereafter till the illum ination is over. The other day a newspaper of S. Louis issued a map of the city that is a genuine curiosity. It was an adver tising scheme, and no doubt paid the paper well, but many a man cut out the map and put it in his pocket for use some evening when he should find time hanging heavily on his hands. The map showed all the places of sum mer amusement in the city, as well as how to reach them by the street cars. fortable houses. He saw none of the Fifteen gardens and" theaters are lo- ' poverty common in great manufactur catcd, all within a ride of half an hour ing centers. Many of the men, partic from the center of the town, and most j ularly the skilled workmen, made good jtT fliam rfcmlvr fiftAAti mimMAS niofgnf from the principal hotels. These t gardens are a feature of the summer t and fall amusement of St Louis. They open generally about the first of May j ana are wen patronized uu inc com weather sets in, about the last of Octo ber. Most of them are conducted with tns strictest propriety, and all have large halls attached to them, where their guests arc taken care of if it rains. The visitor to St Louis this fill, with the exposition to entertain him during the day and early evening, and places of amusement in such num bers waiting for him if he wants to prowl around by himself and see the late side of the town, has a good time 1 cfore him.

She was unable to reach New York in time to land her passengers and get them home again. - ' HOMESTEAD WAGES ALMOST CAUSE DEMOCRATS TO LEAVE CONGRESS. Mr. Brnnaa would Like to Have a Job Same Things That Surprised Demo cratic Congressional Investigators ProtetUea Strengthens Labor. The Democratic House sent il com-' mittee to Homestead with the hope of making a showing of distress and pov erty among the laborers in protected industries. They hoped to show that workmen in protected industries get no benefit from a protective tariff. But they will not show that. What thej found was workmen get ting from 1.40 a day (the lowest rate, and that only a few) up to as high as SWperfSlay1. There were men offered $1,000, $2,500, $3,000 and even $5,000 per annum, and working about 270 days in the year and yet they had learned to feci and believe, under tho experience of a protective tariff, that they onght to have more. No wonder Congress man Bynum, Democrat, of Indiana and a member of the committee, inquired with some show of eagerness whether there was a chance for him to secure a position in the works. When Hugh O'Donnell, the leader of the strikers was on the stand, Mr. Boatner (Democrat, of Loulsiana)askcd him: "You are one of the skilled work men, are you not?" "Yes, sir." "About what were your wages?" "About $144 per month." John McLuckic, a member of the Amalgamated association and a bur gess of Homestead, complained to the committee that the McKinley law re duced the tariff on steel billets, and that wages, therefore, began to go down with the price of steel billets after its passage. He advanced the lbttSC " "t r I y j, cccprAircei Cf-iwS wkf00 -.. .., OoO- ill . r J jaaLl- jeT The. eltoxCUJUf U r iwAimjf lfifcKA wTL? f (imHmFwtSX Www N r rTinlrl ttWIVnirfMTfftjfTriwmf "W KJI smffBBBBBBaV WJr I JiiaiismmwPu'JiL. JSafceamw CONFRONTED BY A CONDITION-Groyer Cleveland Findsthe ot Acceptance to Be a Bather Difficult somewhat extraordinary opinion that the securing of the. reduction of tariff on steel billets was part of a conspiracy to reduce the wages of workingmen. He also charged that the company "shortlj' converted the Duquesne works into a billet plant, in creased the production, flooded the oountry so that prices may be reduced, and thus effect our wages. The Du quesne produces large -amount of bil lits.". This would seem to account better fof the reduction in the price of steel billets than the removal of the tariff. Representative Oates of Alabama, the Democratic chairman of the Democratic committee of investigation, was inter viewed after he returned from Home stead, and said: "That the workmen at Homestead were far above the aver age in intelligence and seemed to be fairly prosperous, living in good, com- wages, some of them as high as $275 per month. Others made only $50 per month, f The common laborers earned from $1 to $1.50 a day. "As Mr. Frick had positively declined to disclose to the committee the cost per ton of producing steel billets at the Homestead mills, Mr. Oates could not say whether the contention of the men that the company was making a great deal of money at the present prices was trne or not ,He was satisfied, how ever, that the allegation of the men that the company had purposely pro duced an overstock of steel billets in order to reduce the scale of wages of the workmen was untrue." Blatant demagogues have spread many lying reports of the miscrj', pov erty and degradation of the workmen at Homestead, and Democratic politi cians have been quick to take up "these reports and glory in them as showing the calamity of a protective tariff. But the day has gone by when lies of this sort can befool the people. The coun try is not prepared to judge finally on the merits of the strikers' quarrel at Homestead. But that the wages they have been getting and the wages they are offered are such as would leave them in the helpless and poorly paid condition of laboring men in Euro; e and Great Britain is proved not to be true out of the mouths of the strikers and the Democrats themselves. ON THE OTHER SIDE. the Free Trade Tarty Endorsed 1t En glish J'apers. Senator Hale. The fight will be fought out by the Republican party as "an American fight. The policy of the Democratic party, as shown by the tariff plank, is British and not Ameri can. Tariff for revenue only, with protection denounced as robbery and fraud, is British doctrinc,and it is with uo wonder that I read from the London Graphic, in its issue pf June 23, the fol lowing: Englishmen will watch Mr. Cleve land's campaign with cordial sympathy, for not only is his tariff policy in ac cord .with the orthodox economic school of England, but his party platform wisely condemned the arrogant and irritating foreign policy of its oppo nents. The London Star of June 24 declares: Mr. Cleveland is the best type of the American statesman, and if he does not win it will be because he is too sound a reformer. The London Post declares that: A Republican victory at the polls in November would be a blow to the free trade party in the States, and would retard, for a considerable period, the progress of those sound commercial and economic doctrines which underlie British commercial greatness and alone maintain British commercial ascen dency. The great London journal, Engin eering, says that: There is a somewhat general idea in this country that the McKinley tariff bill will be repealed before long, or, at all events, be so much modified that the bting will be taken out of those clauses most objectionable to British manufac turers; and it is for this reason that the hopes of the Democrats for the ap proaching Presidential election arc so largely shared in this country. Prices of Domestic Prodacts. It is desirable that the prices of do mestic products should remain uni form, and that they should be so high as not to justify a feeling of unrest in the operatives, or a fear of impending disaster in the investors of any voca tion. Such an industrial adjustment should be secured as would equalize the surplus annual product of all voca tions. That is to say, the ordi nary demand for their con- sumption should exhaust the products of all vocations as nearly as possible in equal times. Such a condition of in dustrial and financial equipoise can never be attained while our markets are exposed to the disturbing-effects of an alien competition, or while the in terests of our producers arc exposed to the vicious assaults of the whims -and the sophistries of our non-producing free-trade politicians. Th Pacific Slope. Judge M. M. Estee of California.who was chairman of the Republican Na tional convention of 1888. said recently : "I regard the administration of Pres ident Harrison as having been wise, prudent and judicious. He can carry California by 'a sound majority. The prosperity of California in the last year has been marvelous. We produced wheat, raisins, prunes and winftin un precedented quantities. The McKinley tariff law is popular with us, because it protects our products. The duty on prunes is an example. It is two cents, yet prunes are cheaper in New York and over the country to-day than when the law went into effect. The same thing is true as to raisins, on which the duty imposed is two and one-half cents." Iron Ore'Iadnstry. The iron ore industry of the United States has shown since 1880 one of the most reuiarkable strides ever recorded of any industry in any country. The census figures have just been tabulated, and it appears that the increase of pro duction in ten years has been over 100 per tent, from 7,000,000 to 14,000,000 gross tons. In the same time there has been an average decrease in the cost of mining of 50 cents a ton, an average decrease in the value at the mines of GG cents a ton. and an average increase in a mining operative's earnings of more than S100 per annum. Consider- ing the depressing effects of the "rob ber tariff' this is quite a remarkable record. The Teacher's 1'ower. It is quite as appropriate, I think, that the President of the United States should review the teachers of the land as that he should review its army v its militia. Applause. For, after all the strength and defense of our institu tions, not onlv in peace but in war, is to be found in the young of the land who have received from the lips of patriotic teachers the story of the sac- rifice which our fathers recorded toes- tablish our civil institutions, and which their sons have repeated on hundreds of battle fields. President Harrison to National Educational Association. A Tariff Tletare. As the iron industries of the Unite! States have developed under protection the -wages of iron worker, have ad- vanced. In 1S60 puddlcra got $3.5- per ton. In 1990 they got $5.50 per ton. A Pertinent laanlrv. Mr. Pierce pertinently inquires of his Democratic colleagues in the House what they arc shooting through theii pop-gun tariff bills for under suspen sion of the rules if their objection tc the silver bill is that it would be ap proved by the President. The Mother's Donbt. Mother I hope, my son, if you go into politics you will be honest and re spectable. Son Great Scott, mother, yon talk as though you thought I might become a Democrat. Political Pointers. Tammany never bolts It knifes. The campaign song to the tune oi Boom-tarra-ra-boom-dc-ay is in full blossom. Speaker Crisp has declined to enter tain a "dilatory motion," and Tom Reed smolc a bland smile. The Democrats are likely to lose North Carolina if they pass a free lum ber bill through the House. The word is therefore passed around, "Wait until after election." It is not an issue in the campaign that W. J. Campbell does law business for Armour, any more than is tho fact that G. Cleveland is the paid attorney of a soulless street-car corporation. Union miners are killing non-union miners in Idaho with bullets and dyna mite because they take the lowered wages which the union men had re fused. Yet there is free trade in the product of Idaho mines. There is a just mean, I think that between a system of intellectual com petition which destroys the body and a system of physical training that eliminates the mind. President Har rison at Saratoga. Task of Writing a Third Letter One. WENT MAD IN HIS CAB- A Wild Ride That Terrified a Tens Load of Western Passenger. Probably one of the most exciting incidents ever known in railroading was told a reporter by Mr. Julius Smitt, who has just returned from a trip to the -Northwest. He was in Tacoma, Wash., for some time on a visit, and on his return started back on the Oregon Short Line. The Toad leads along the base of the mountains, and the passengers were enjoying a fine view for some distance, and everything appeared to be going nicely until suddenly it was noticed that the train was gradually increasing in speed until it fairly flew along the rails: The passengers began to get uneasy, but when they saw the conductor and brakeman rush frantically toward the front of the train they then knew that something serious was the matter, says the Kansas City Journal. Faster and faster flew the train, un til it bounded from side to side at a fearful rate, and the frightened passen gers were thrown about the cars like so many puppets. Trees and poles flashed, and the train was going at a clip equal to 100 miles an hour, while it seemed only a miracle which kept it on the track. Around curves it would spin, almost standing the poor victims on their heads, while they were every minitte expecting to be dashed to pieces. The conductor soon discovered that the engineer had gsne mad. He stopped for nothing, but flashed past the stations at lightning speed, and for a stretch of forty-five miles the train went so fast that it was impossible for the passengers to hold their seats. The fireman could not be seen in the cab. and it was determined to make an effort to get to the madman before he sent the whole tn:in-!oad of people to eternity, The conductor and brakeman crawled carefully along1 the tender and worked their way into the engine be hind the engineer, who stood with his head bare and his long hair floating back as he gazed ahead, muttering to t himself. ! With a blow the madman was laid . en the floor, and the conductor shut off steam and gradually brought the train to a standstill. The madman was se cured and a dispatch sent back over tthe road asking for information regard ng the fireman. It was discovered tnat. at the last stopping-place the en- ' gineer had shoved the fireman from tne engine just as the train started and tjjgn pttt on full steam. The 'engineer was alwavs sober and had never shown any signs of insanity before.
