Take iuv:i Your Falc Co": or and
I'lit ii Your Ticket an You .'Iran It.
The independent press df the state
are carrying at tho head of their col
umns what they call their state ticket:
For Governor.
C. H. VAX WYCK.
For Lieutenant Governor,
C. D. SHliADEK.
But that ticket is a deception. It
does not convey the roal meaning of
the Van Wyck and Shrader move
ment. Their ticket should read:
For U. S. Senator,
C. II. VAN WYCK.
For Gdverndr,
tl. D. SHIIADEH.
Van Wyck is hot running for goT
briidr. Everybody Knows that. Van
Wyck has no ambition to be governor
and remain in Lincoln among the peo
ple of this state. His ambition aii
points toward Washington City, where
his home is. and where his principal
property and money interests are. The
oniy personal effects of his that aro
purely of Nebraska, is the old bine
coat that he has worn for years while
among the farmers, in sham humility,
ns a decoy to capture the farmer vote.
And it is Shrader who Is the real can
didate for governor. Shrader. whd
damned the constitution and insulted
the supreme court, he is the precious
patriot who has consented to save this
commonweaun oy ue.om.ng iu gov-

thought of Shrader being governor of
Nebraska makes them ashamed of the

then an appeal to their sensitiveness

this state:' ilis principal business has
been to tan:; and what has he talked
about? Has he talked about tho

in its material development? In his

ever pictured the sturdy thrift and the
unprecedented financial success of tho
farmers and business men of his own
district? When did the brilliant young
man" ever truer to his vn and mag

word of praise for Nebraska? Has he
ever stood up for Nebraska, and has
he ever advertised the fact that more
poor men have started here and oe
come well to do in thu last decade than
in any other state on the face of the
earth? Has he ever told that to his
audiences? Or has the general force
of his eloquence been turned against
Nebraska and against its reputation?

tionally Low Itallroad Kale
St. Louis, Sept. 22. The Expositon
has now been open about one-third of
its ninth s asttfl and the attendance up
to date is by far the best on record.
Gilmore's magnificent band of 100
pieces is giving four concerts daiiy,
and although there are 4,0CO scats in
the Music hall,- a vacant scat during
any portion of any oflc of the concerts
is,very unusual. The general features of
the Exposition are voted by visitor Irom
all parts of the country, as well as from
Europe, as remarkable both for their
beauty and costliness and also for the
great variety, so many attractions hav
irg been rarely collected together in
one building. The exhibits of manu
factured goods, of electrical and me
chauicnl triumphs and high class
fvorks of art are all first clas; and
any onev department would provide a
Erst class Exposition.
The next illumination will be given
an Thursday, Sept. 29, when all tho
slectrical panorama and pyrotechnic
displays will be in full working order.
Tlie carnival will be at its height
at the" opening of October, for
on the afternoon of Oct. 1 the
Veiled Prophet will arrive by boat and
be received by a strong military guard.
Heretofore the Veiled Prophet has ar
rived secretly and has not been seen
until he appeared in the parade, but a

A mark of his appreciation of the ex
traordinary attractions this year he
will arrive by water and will hold a re
ception at the Exposition building dur
ing the afternoon. Veiled Prophet's
day is Tuesday, Oct. I, when there will
be one of the largest crowds in St. Louis
ever collected in a Western city. The
details of the parade are kept a secret,
but it Is generally known that the
pageant will be much more costly this
year than ever before, and as over six
miles of streets will be Illuminated on
Veiled Prophet's night the combined
attractions will be magnificent to a de
gree. All the railroads arc making very
low rates to St. Louis and intending
visitors should apply at once to the
nearest station agent to ascertain on
what days round trip tickets can be ob

Nnw Yohk, Sept .10- It is not
alone that the public health is jeopar
dized by the ravages of cholera in
foreign lands and its threatened inva
sion of this country, but business in
terests arehkeiy to be affected thereby.
Aircady it is stated that in consequence
of quarantine on rags, ihere has been
a rise in print paoer, and that this is
but the forerunner of a greater advance
in the near coming future. The pa
per manufacturers of this country de
pend largely for their raw material
upon countries now aftlicied with or
threatened with cholera, and as the
quarantine already placed upon this
ciass of goods is likely to be prolonged
indefinitely, there is no telling how
radical may bo tho advance in the
price of print paper from time to time.
Large consumers and dealers are talc
ing all they can get at the advanced
ruling rate, but are not able to piaco
contracts for the future on the same
basis, manufacturers not caring to
give figures while the quarantine re
mains. OPENING GUN IN NEW YORK-
