The crew of an Elkhorn Valley stock train had quite an exciting experience a mile or two .from Arlington.

This talk about it being a miserable and ungainly piece of architecture and very much in ferior to other state buildings on th" grounds is all a mistake. The building looks verj- well and no Ncbraskan need feel ashamed of it. We have made one mistake as a state, however, at the fair, in not placing on exhibition mori of the things manufactured in Ne braska. The Beatrice Chautauqua assembly will hold its annual session in its beau tiful home on the banks of the rivei Blue, June 13 to '2X S tuated in the most beautiful park in the stale, on the edge of a leading and thriving city, with splendid railway facilities and with a magnificent history behind it, the Chautauqua is certain to become the most prosperous Chautauqua in all the west.

The neighbors were then called out and the search continued until past midnight, when the little truant was discovered in the hog lot in a trough fast asleep and un harmed, although there were swine in the inclosurc. The committee of the Interstate Re union association of Kansas and Ne braska met in Superior with full rep resentations from the sixteen counties composing the district. C. E.

Pond of Red Cloud, junior vice The next reunion was located at the city of Superior, to commence July 31 and con tinue one week. The Lincoln Journal says that the showing made bjj the railroad ticket offices in the sale of world's fair tickets is decidedly poor when compared with what they contemplated it would be. As a matter of fact it appears from the daily departures that more people are going west than east. This, to a great extent, can be attributed to the fact that the fear of cholera with most peo ple is not a fancy but a reality and the mountains and the west arc supposed to have a pure atmosphere not "tainted with corruption."' Henry Konig of Hall county was in the employ of Mrs. Kay. a widow who manages a farm nine miles southwest of Grand Island. Last week she sent him to Alda with a load of grain.

Konig drove home, put the horses j in the stable and went into his room. J .Mrs. Kay hasn't seen him since that time, for he mads his exit through a window ami disappeared with the inon- i y, THE NEW BREAD RECEIPT.

Entering the port of Carinto the passengers were amazed to see soldiers training a bijf KrupiJ gun on the vessel frbni the gbyerif ment barracks, all ready,, kf it was afterward lefrried, to touch it off.

"the pres- ' cnt rate of 820 from Coloradd common points to Missouri River points will be sustained. i Mr. White's letter declares that in view of the considerate treatment re ceived by the Atchison from the Kan sas City-St. Louis lines during the long controversy over Colorado rates, the Atch-'son road believes that these lines should determine the proper r i duction in St Louis rates, consequent , upon the notice issued by the Atchi- ( son. The Atchison therefore says it will make a rate from Colorado com mon points to St. Louts of $33. ThiB , mt i in nil f iir of thft SQO-rnlind trin rate to Kansas City, added to $12, the current round-trip rate between Kan sas City and St. Louis.

The atten tion of Secretary Hoke Smith has been tailed to the recent decision in the United States Supreme Court in the Bernier case, in which it was held that in the death of a homestead entryman leavintr no widow, but both adult and minor heirs, patent should issue to all heirs equally and not to the minor heirs to the exclusion of the adults. This is contrary to the uni form ruling of the general land office, and the commissioner asks whether the practice will be changed to con form with the Supreme Court decision. The secretary answers in the affirma ative and holds that all cases in con flict with the decision referred to must be considered as overruled. Here after all patents issued must conform to this decision. Iowa Man Stand a Uuoil Chance. Washington, May 26.

The farmers and farmers' organizations of the West are doing all they can for him and are ex erting a very heavy pressure upon the President Mr. Buchanan is a warm personal friend of Governor Boies and is earnestly backed by him.

It is a ' gorgeous panorama of natural colors the hues of the rainbow are nearly all there There are forty cabinets and 1,120 jars of cereals attractively ar ranged about the floor. Every county is represented. The decorative effect is pretty in the extreme. Gage county fnrnishes a handsome panel whih is hung here a diagram of the county, showing the townships in different col ors, t lie towns a nu vil lit ge3, tne rivers and railroads all done in corn and seeds, nothing else. The reading room opens off the exhibition hall. It is roomy and commodious. The decora tion is notable for a handsome hand painted frieze, done by the ladies of ' Beatrice. njoining is tne otucc proper or writing room, and next to that the commissioner's prettily furnished quar ters. Fpstairs there are a 100 pretty things to catch the eye. Art and nature are here combined and the effect is pleas ing. The idea is carried throughout. An Omaha artist has caught it beauti fully in abitof painting that represents a brace of ducks hung upon the barn door. The game is done to perfection. As you stand away ten or fifteen feet you would swear the frame of that barn door and thoss hinges could never have been done more true to nature Look cloer and 3011 will find it is nature tho barn door frame is wood. The art ist has painted the door itself so truly that the color. cannot be distinguished except by close s'-rutiny. Here again is corn given the most exquisite exhibi tion. There is a massive table all sur faced with corn a work of art The surface is glass, and beneath it in has relief, done with corn, wheat and other cereals, a faithful and accurate repro duction of the state seal with the mot to, "Equality Refore the Law,'' en graved on the glass surface The con tribution is from Cumingcounty.

He has several stuffed buffaloes of mag nificent proportions, a crane measuring six feet from tip to tip and an Indian tepee In this latter, which is com pletely furnished in the aboriginal style, Colonel Cody will make a display of a score or more of the trophies of several Indian wars, collected during his scouting exploits. There will be everything from a string of glass beads to the gory scalp of a hated paleface This is the show that will do as much toward attracting the visitor as any thing else in the building. There are scores more of displays about the large room in the second storj. The Women's Christian Tem perance union has a little nook picked out, where it displays a number of its banners, trophies and its motto: "We Dare to Do Right" The Women's Christian Temperance union displays a historic banner of linen woven by Pennsylvania women a century ago. The wood for the frame was taken from old Fort Calhoun and the buttons mak ing the fringe were worn by soldiers between 1S21 and ls3t". The banner was designed and executed by Mrs. O. M.

RATES MUST BE REDUCED. So day lllrector Feck to tho NewT! Railroad Officials. New York. May 24. Ferdinand W Peck, president of the Chicago World's Fair directory, says that one object of Ins visit to this city was to confer witn railway men with reference to reduced I rates 10 imcagu 111 um jmiiicuuiti future. I have seen a number of railway officials within the last two or three days," he said, -'and I sm confident ' that the roads will make d reduced rate to Chicago before long. I shall j try to impress it on them that it is for I the advantage of the roads to do so. j "The companies are pretty certain ' o give reduced rates later, but the 1 ooner they put them into effect tho j better. The fair is ready for visitors now and I believe the people are ready to go to it. As soon as the crowd begins to come and sec it no furthet advertisement of it will be necessary ( It will commend itself to all visitor and they will tell their neighbors about it. A reduced rate of fare at once will bring a crowd." C A. R. POST DISBANDED, New Tork Veterans Lose Their Charter ' rn- rriMM.in. ih. p.niiim tow. Ai.bant., N.Y., May 24.

Fostoiua, O., May 27. llid business world was startled yesterday morning1 by the news that ex-Secretary of the Treasury Foster had failed and that he had turned his heavy unancfal interests, in an embarrassd condition, over" lo an assignee The assignee is J. B. Gormley, a prominent banker of Bucyms, and a warm friend of Mr. Foster. The lia bilities are' given out by Mr. Foster as being SGOO.flOO and the assets as about the same. He made thtf assignment duririg the night and the paper were filed at Tiffin by ?lr, Scott, his attor ney. At an early hour yesterday morn ing the bank of Foster & Co. was closed on an attachment of $3,200, in favor of the S. A. Harter SlHling company, and the wholesale grocery til Dnv?s & Fos ter was closed on an attachment for ?1,200, in favor of T. D. Brown. The presence ttf the, sheriff was the first ink ling many people had that there was something wroifg tind.it soon leaked out that an assignment liuo been made The news spread rapidly and soon the streets were filled with people, eager to learn tho extent of the calamity. The assignment of Secretary Foster was the signal for the assignment of a number of concerns in which he was in terested. Thd trass and iron works was one of the c6heern t assign. Re sides Mr. Foster, Mr. Portz was ne of the owiier ei rhis' concern. The lia bilities and assets ot Jin company are included with the personal statement of the secretary. The Malbourg. Cal cined and Croker Window Glass compa ny, the three concerns that have been fcackefl by Mr. Foster, also failed.

The loss to Fostoria is a great one, and one that will require considerable time to' rccorer front, but great as it is, the regret on this account in no way lessens the regret alttt sympathy ex pressed for the ex-secretary, it i con ceded that his generosity and public sp-rit ha been the indirect cause of his financial downfall, as he was ever ready to lend a helping tiafd. The assignment of Davis &. F"ter, the wholesale grocers, will probaL-Iy bn tile "!ir-ct cause of the failure of a number of grc'crr'ry concerns throughout the country. It 'is said that the firm has 125,000 of unpaid accounts and botes due it.

Ciiicaoo, 111., May 'ST. Affairs in the Western Passenger association are now jn a worse muddle than they have been ! at any time since the discussion of World's fait- wfin rates begun. This morning President Cable of the Bock 1 Island and Vice President Harris of the Burlington wired President Reinhart of the Atchison, asking for a delay in put- j ting in the reduced rates from Colorado and the Missouri river, which, it was announced, would go into effe-t Mon- ' day. They proposed that President ' Newell of the Lake Shore. President Hughitt of the Northwestern and Pres ident Fish of the Iowa Central, or otic of tlfe three, be appointed to arbitra'e , the matter. President Koinhart replied 1 that it would be folly to arbitrate, but for the sake of harmony he would ngree to let Mr. Hughitt decide it. Mr. IfiiL'liitt was out of the city today. n1 his answer, to the proposition could not be obtained. If he agrees to act at ' once, the reduced rates will be held in , abeyance for a short time. It is not ex- ! pceieu mat ir. iiugniu win agree 10 1 arbitrate the difficulty until both sides j agree to abide Unquestionably by his decision. The meeting of general passenger agents today made no progress what- ' ever and an adjournment was taken until Monday, when action will depend ! on President Hughitt's decision to act as arbitrator. A significant vote was taken on the proposition to extend the jurisdiction of the Western Passenger association over trans-Missouri terri- tory. All lines voted in favor of it If j they had voted this way a montn ago thcir present trouble would not now be upon them. Tremendous Railroad Speed. I PouQHKEKrsiE, N. Y., May 27. The "Exposition Flyer," the fast train of the New York Central & Hudson River railroad, especially .constructed for the first-class passenger traffic between i New York and Chicago, made a prelim inary run this morning, preparatory to the regular trips, which will begin on Sunday next. , It is the intention of the road to have this train cover the distance between New York and Chicago in twenty hours, cutting off four hours from the fastest ' time yet made between the two cities. This will require an average speed of fifty-one miles per hour, which will be faster than any time made on any road in the country for a long distance. A novel feature of the train is the system of buffers used. These buffers extend ' almost the entire width of the ears and are ctrivcn togetner oy nyuraulic pres sure, lhey hold the whole tram per fectly rigid and prevent all oscillation. The train pulled out of the Grand Cen tral station at 10:20 a. m. The riding was far easier than it often is on a horse car and, though the speed was tremendous, it was not at all noticea ble on the train. NEWS NOTES. Twenty-four persons have died of smallpox at Gothenburg. Germany. The Briggs case comes up continually in the Presbyterian general assembly and seems to enter into every question in one form or another. The Russians are jealous of the su- perior showing made by the British in the naval review, and to overcome the impression made by them they are send- , ing three more powerful vessels to the , United States.
