The medal will be mounted and hung in the coun cil room. Secretary Furnas tells the Lincoln Journal that the outlook for the state fair denotes an immense show in all departments. This is based upon the fact that up to date four times the usual amount of entries are in. If the same rate continues after the opening day there will be no still room and no space available in any department. Entries come from all states. New York machinery will be exhibited, and I enterprises never heard of before in the west have applied. The racing, which was not exactly satisfactory last year, will be the best ever had, the obstaclo of last year having been re moved and larger purses hung up as additional inducement. R P. Thomson, chief grain inspect or of tbe Omaha department, holds that winter wheat is the future cereal. In a private letter he speaks of a recent report made by himself in this way: I have arrived at these conclusions only after interviews with men who have grown gray as dealers in &eed and studying the peculiarties of wheat. I am certain there is less reliable in formation regarding this cereal than any other grown. I have given it al ready years of my life and proposo to continue. I hope to be able in that forthcoming report to present to the' farmers of Nebraska some reliable and authentic information regarding the wheat that I am led to believe is the future wheat and which is acclimated to the soil of Nebraska when properly seeded and attended." Hon. J. N. Koontz, serving as one of the secretaries of the state board of transportation, has just returned from Hayes and Chase counties, says tbe Lincoln Journal He reports that the area of winter wheat will be largely increased. Farmers are now plowing and sowing. Mr. Koontz is a practi cal farmer and believes in winter wheat. Farmers are beginning to see its advantages, he says, and they re alize the chief one, its plumpness, su perior quality, larger yield per acre, and superior milling qualities. Care should be taken in selecting seed. The variety that does best in the particular section where sown, and produces the best milling grain, should be well considered, as the better the milling quality tbe higher the price.

The plan of illumination differs entirely from that of past years, being much more comprehensive and magnificent. The number of lights has been about doubled, and a much more liberal use of electricity as an illuminating power has been made. There are arches of various .designs at the principal street intersections with several electrical devices and set pieces of striking appearance. Over the permanent statue of Gen.

No extra charge is made for the Gilmore concerts, nor for the art gallery, the fish exhibit or the electrical display. That the inclusive admission polic pays is proved by the St Louis exposition, where twenty five cents admits to everything.

DEATH OF CEO. WM. CURTIS. One of the Greatest Writer of the Prea- ent Age Passes Away. New York, Sept 2. George William Curtis died about 2 o'clock yesterday morning at his home in Livingston, Staten Island. George William Curtis was born in Providence, R. L, Feb. 24, 1S24. The early years of his life were spent in New York city,1 where he was clerk in a mcrcan tile house, and in West Roxbury and Con cord, Mass., when he woritcd as a farmer. In 1846 he went to Europe and remained there four oeouce w. cuims. years studying and traveling. Return ing to America he became one of the editorial staff of the New York Tri bune and a regular contributor to Put nam's Monthly. Mr. Curtis was a special partner in the firm publishing the magazine and when it became in volved in financial difficulties he sunk his private fortune in an attempt to save the creditors from loss, in which he fully succeeded. In 1853 he began in Harper's Month ly the series of papers entitled "The Editor's Easy Chair." When Harper's Weekly was established he became its leading editorial writer, a position he held until recently, when illness com pelled him to retire. While engaged in these labors he also attained dis tinction as an orator and a lecturer. He took a keen interest in politics and was one of the most ardent advocates of civil-service reform, being chairman of the commission appointed by Gen. Grant to draw up rules for the regulation of the civil service. Mr. Curtis was several times offered for eign missions but declined them. He was a Republican, but in 1884 sup ported Mr. Cleveland in preference to Mr. Blaine. Thrown Jnto m Separator. Wojxott, N. Y., Aug. 31. A man named Foster, while opening bundles of oats at Irahill, Cayuga county, struck the hand of the feeder, whose name is unknown, with his knife.

LOUIS LETTEF. The Crowded Period Commencing Progress on the New Union Dtp Jt The ropalatlon of the Clt. St. Louis, Aug. 29. The festivities were rnnuguarnted the 2.th by the lighting up of the electric and other set pieces on the streets and by the il lumination of over six miles of fro,n a11 seen ins, the result being very I crowded streets and a general appeiir- ance of bustle and activity.

The panorama illustrating the discovery of America is also a source of much favorable cbHimcrJt; and the arches and medallions are all a success. The street cars have been crowded every evening, and it is generally admitted that the car nival of 1892 has been inaugurated very successfully. AVhen that witly Frenchman, Max O'Reil, next comes to St Louis he will not be ab!e to repeat his joke about St. Louis representing her worst side first and compelling visitors to see the morgue and the jail before they can get to the city. Since he made this joke at the expense of the city, large gangs of men have been at work clear ing away the old buildings on the new Union depot site, which has now been excavated and actual work com menced on the foundation of the depot, which is to cost sa.OOO.OO-J, and have forty-two sets of tracks leading into it This depot will be one of the most expensive in the world, and it will have one special feature which will recommend it to travelers. It will lie a terminal or pocket depot, and all trains Will be Imcked into it, so that HO smoke will get into the sheds. Another great change will be the mov ing of the depot from the hast desir able part of the City to a much more pleasant and better built locality. Five years ago it was considered aristocratic for a St Louis man to live in the suburbs, because the street cars ran such a short distance out tliat he had to keep a carriage to drive down town. Aow, However, the situation has been exactly reversed. The clec- nnVrnandTt is cheaper to raise a family in the sub- . nriis than in the city. As a result wage nnd salary earners are beginning to move out very fieely, and the wealthier class are beginning to secure residences nearer the business section of the city. Two electric lines are now being constructed into the chief sec tions of St Louis county, and the in- evitable annexation of that county by the city has been expedited very notic ably. The preparations for the November election now being made in the office of the Recorder of voters shows that there will beabont 10,(X0 more voters in the city now than there were when the census of 1800 was taken. On the basis of one voter to ever five inhabitants, this will give an increase in population of a boat 50,000 during the two years. The records of the Builders' Exchange teem to show that this is about the corieit increase, and if this can be maintained until the next census, the population in 1900 will be shown to exceed three quarters of a million. i Park Slip Pit Galleries llelng Flooded. Lospox, Sept 1. Water is flooding some of the galleries in the Park Slip Pit, at Bridgend, Wales. This will, it is said, probably prevent the recovery of the bodies still in the mine. l.lfK STUCK AS It I'HOnWK MAItKStH nolnttH frmin Xmo Yorlt, CMeij, Ijtulm, OuMhit ! KUoirtier-i. OMAHA.

In tho year 18.VJ the writer chanced (n bo in England. There were in those days a considerable number of Btdall Vessels trading from the British Islands to the Azores and the Medi terranean and to Spanish ports for tho season's fruits, raisins. Hirrants. oranges, whatever it might bo. TbeSd vessels were called fruiters', add they were schooners of a very beaiiiiftfl pattern. I shipped as ablo seaman aboard a fruiter called tho Susan. She was ninoty-five tons, and stood among the first of tbo sea-going craft of her kind. Our crew consisted of Wm. Muffin. captain; John Cheese, mate; myself and two more men and a boy. Whnt 1 am going to tell happened when we were homeward bound to the port of London from the Azores, and were two days out.

The sun was more like a mere oozinoss of light than the regular orb we are a 'customed to. and the swell came down from the North long and Btrong, with a wrinkling of small waves that turned over with a kind of savageuess in their splashing, and the breeze, which was not strong a-) yet blew along with a hollow echo in It ns though it had caught deeper notes from afar and was carrying them as it went After eight bells noon tho wind freshened.

But it was now coming on to blow, so We took in tue topgallant and flying jib and gaff topsalL and presently tiod a reef in ,the alnlL Then we followed by a treei in tne gan iorsau, and so on. slowly shortening down, till at 5 o'clock wo wore under a treble-reefed muinsail and ree'ed topsail, by which you may suppose it was blowing pretty hard. Wo were bowl'ng and splash ing along, tho air being gray with tho coming dusk, though there was a promise,of a windy sunset behind us. when we made out a sail on tbe weuther bow. J was at the tiller at the time, and I heard the captain say to tho mate, after he had been looking at her a little while through tho glasi that she was a large brig under single reefed top ails. Of courio we. as a schooner, were sailing closer lo tho wind than a square-rigger could, and by sundown the strange sail was very nearly abeam, whero sho showed out against the dark, flying clouds over tho horizon as clearly as ever I Baw a vessel in tine weather hull plunging heavily. water flying over her bow. and top sails foresails and spanker staring out with a dingy whiteness, confusing enough in their way to be mistaken for tho heads of tall seas. The sun sank in a way that made the ocean look as wild as 1 remember seeing it. The sun resembled a flare burned as a signal of distress, a ruddy leaping, gleaming among the clouds. ( with sparks in tho water for a re flee - tion. like glowing cinders falling, and floating a moment before sinking, and a sort of boiling, reddish hao rising up to tho renilh nnd lines of scarlet , fire that moved like tho spokes of a slowly revoIveJ wheel, tho blue seas stood up sharp and black as a ridue of hills ng.iinstn pink sky and looked as though they were trying to wash the sun o it Cur wake ran white ns milk. There was a gray bird or two following ua and the wind catno over . the rail in a shriek as if it had lost the old mutterings of tempest nnd was catching up a new cry of drowning people It was in the second dogwatch, quite dark. I was in the forecastle, cutting I I' up some tobacco for a smoke, when one of the men standing on deck near j tho hatch sang out: "Blessed If I 1 don't think that there brig to wind'ard '8 on fire!" I did not imagino at first that there wa3 much in this cry. for at sea you will ofton find appearances that have a sheen upon them and which aro very decoiving; and I went on cutting up my tobacco until I filled my p'pe and then I lit it and went on deck. There was a great deal of roaring in the weather and the sound under our bows would have been proof to any landsman that our cap- ;l!tain was driving our little craft I Jooicea over tne weatner-rait anu in stantly my eye was caught by a spark, out where the brig was likely to be. At tbe same moment I heard them talking aft and. going that way. I found the captain, mato and one of our men lookintr at the liirht and argu ng about it. Its onffiiSfefceablei Cheese,' said, Id Muffin, that she's afire The question now is. what's oar daty? Does she expeet us to beat up to her. or ain't it more likely that knowing we're here, she'll put her helm up and run down to us?'' Why. yea" said Cheese "no doubt it's more likely she'll put her helm up. but we ought to mako her know where wo arc." Why. certainly." said old Muffin, and on that be ordered us to make a flare which we kept burning for Warty ft quarter of an hour, the Susan tieafltimd boing brought nearly to a standstill. But though the Spark grew bigger It was ovidently because tbo firo was increasing and not because tho brig was coming down to us. and seeing this our old man made up his mind to beat up to the vessel and see what ho could do in the way of saving life The moon came up in the east as red as blood, but before long sho turned white and gave a dim light just enough perhaps to let the people id the brig see us sailing to them or for Hi W havo seen them had they taker? id theif boats and been knock ing about on tbo loXiMottt for us. The fire was too good a sign for old Muf fin's keen eye to go wrong. He said to Cheese: i shall sail close under her stern and find out what they mean to de If they have boats we'll go round and heave to to leeward, and pick them up as they come If they've got no boats we shall have to maneuver in another fashion; but anyhow let's hear what they have to say." We were now fast nearing the blaz ing ship on our last tack. It was easy to see why sho had not run down to Ua, for sho so lay as to show that sho Was Unmanageable She had como up in the Wind and was all on firo forward, tho rigging catching tho flames, and everything crackliag and sparkling and hissing that Way as high as tho foremast The blaze drove aft and smoko blew along in a smother full of fiery stnrs. The water all around was lighted up and so was the sky for tbe matter of that; but I don't think I should have found her the awful picturo that my recollections make her if it had not been for tho crowd of heads wo saw watching us ovor tho talTrail. Tho fire showed thorn as plainly as the daylight would, and ono of our crew sang out: Jood God, there's two women among them!" Old Mtiflin sprang out on the rail. Ho wanted no trumpet His lungs were cast-iron. and. us he used to say. trumpets only weakened his voice He waited till the time came; then he yelled. Brig ahoy!" There was a Waving of hands and shrieks and cries. Great thunder!" roarod Millie they're alloreigners. Anyono aboard speak English?" he sang out Thore wore more yolls and brandish ing of hands, but no further timo was allowed. The Susan had slipped out of earshot "Anybody see anything like a boat aboard of her?" bawls Cheese We all said ne for had there been anything of that kind hanging at tho davits wo should have seen it and ns for a longboat, the burning vessel rolled so as to show her decks plainly and where her chocks ought to havo stood thero has nothing to be seen. It was clear her decks had been swept by tho sea, and through bad weather nnd other causes she hod lost all her boats. -- ? Muffin turned to Cheese and said: "What's to be done now is this: wo must get our big boat ovor and you and two hands must jump into her. We'll tow you as close to tho burning vessel as we cnn. and then I'll heave to the Susan while you brin&r off them wretched people" "Right sir." said Cheese; and we turned to and rigged a tacklo and got tho boat over tho big one I mean for fruiters usually carried two boats. a smail one stowed within a large one But that launching was a job. It's easy to write about it but to under stand tho care which was required you needed to behold with your own eyes tho waves which wero running and the manner in which our schooner tumbled about in them. I and anoth er man and Air. Cheese got intt the boat and dropped astern. Tbo schoon er's helm was then shifted, and under very easy sail she ran down to tho burning brig, luffing hard up as she came under her stere when we slip ping our oars, rowed as hard as pos sible to the brig's stere where we hooked on taking care to keep clear of her as she rolled. We sang out to her men to band the women over first and thoy seemed to understand what we sa d. but it was awful work. Such hanging back, such crying out such screaming: such shoving. I feared they would swamp the boat As it was two of them made a jump and tumbled in the water and one was drowned, getting under tho vessel somehow. Wo pushed off with one load and then came back for the other. We got all tho rest of tho people safe, and such was their ovci'.emcnt that they caino very near to capsizing tho boat and drowning us nil by striving, some of them, to take us in their arms and ki.-s us We men belonging to the i schooner remained in tho boat till all the rest of the people who turned out to b3 Frenchmen, wero on board; but 1 scarce had Ihe last one of them climbed over the side w en Mutfin roarod out: ' juick. Mr. Chcoio; up with ye! up with yo all for dear life! Bear a hand before we're blown into rags! Quick J with ye! Never mind about the boat Leave her lo tow! leavo her to tow!" j The fright in h s voice took tho breath put of our bodies and we hopped aboard like monkeys. Tho decks looked crowded with people huddled 1 together. A briirht clare came from the brig and lighted tho vessel up. It was not five minutes after the holm had been put over and the schooner was beginning to .slide through the water feeling the weight of the wind after tho grip of her helm, that had kept her hovo te when the brig blew up with such an enormous bursting sound that I am sure no clap of thun der I ever heard in tropical regions camo near to it in its power of stun ning. I never saw another sight to equal that which followed. I have seen some peril in my time, but when I come to reflect how soon that brig j Dtew up auer we naa pusneu on vita j our second load and after we had just managed to ;et-the schooner out of range of the e plosion. I am bound to think thut that salvage job was tbo very closest shave which I havo ever i experienced. ";:n Francisco CalL -THE- First National Bank COLUKDUS. If E0. DirtECTonsi A. ANDERSON, rres't J.
