NEW YORK, Aug. 17. The Cunard
line steamship Lucania, Captain Mc
'Kay, which sailed from Liverpool for
Xew York August 10. was spoken
through the medium of wireless teleg
raphy by the Nantucket lightship
shortly after 6 o'clock this evening.
The Herald shore station, to which
came the wireless message from the
lightship is at Siasconset, a favorite
summer resort on the island of Nan
tucket. On the highest part of the
.village, known as Bunker Hill, is
erected a mast, built in three sections,
with its truck rising 165 feet in the
air. At its upper end is a spar known
, as a spirit or yard, which carries a
vertical wire of the Marconi system
380 feet above the ground. The in
struments which complete the install
ation are in a cottage 100 feet distant
from the base of the mast, and be
tween it and the sea an uninterrupted
moorland stretches for a mile or more.
Forty sea miles away, bearing about
south, the Nantucket lightship is
moored as a safeguard to vessels
crossing the dangerous shoals of this
vexed area and as a point of departure
and arrival for vessels crossing the
northern Atlantic or coasting along
the western seaboard. On board this
vessel a spar has been fitted to the
original mast and from the tip of
this, 10C feet above the sea plane, a
wire is suspended similar to that on
shore.
At the Siasconset wireless telegraph
station the instruments near 6 o'clock
this evening recorded ie signals that
were being sent out from the light
ship searching lor Lucania. Finally,
about C o'clock it was demonstrated
that the two vessels were in commu
nication. To make absolutely certain,
their circuit was temporarily broken,
to ask the lightsu.p If Lucania had
been heard from. The answer came
hack that the steamship had been
leached. From that time until 9:40
messages were sent in a stream from
Lucania. There were occasional in-
terruptions for adjustment, but in a
general way it may be said that the
conditions were favorable and that
communication for nearly four hours
was unbroken.
From the Nantucket lightship to Lu
cania was also sent a summary of the
news events of the world that had
happened since the steamship left the
other side.
The following message was among
those received at the lightship from
Lucania and then transmitted to the
land station. It is signed by Captain
McKay, in command of Lucania:
"All well on boaru. We are 287
miles from Sandy Hoon. and with clear
weather expect to reach New York
harbor Saturday. Please inform Cu
nard agents. M'KAY."

LINCOLN, Aug. 19. For thirty-two
years past, good crops or poor crops,
the Nebraska state board of agricul
ture has annually presented to the
public at Its fairs the products, re
sources and possibilities of this won
derful young state, the flower of the
"new west," a region of country known
until a few years ago comparatively
as a barren waste. These products
have been found, on actual examina
tion, without superiors anywhere, both
as to quality and yield. This year
corn and vegetables have been badly
scorched in some parts of the state, it
is true, and yet in many other parts
they are good. Small grain was never
better.
The fair management is going right
along with' the fair as usual. Sep
tember 2 to 6 is tye date of the fair
and on that occasion one of the largest
crowds ever on the grounds is con
fidently expected. The management
has improved the grounds lately pur
chased by the state by the expenditure
of $18,000 for permanent improve
ments. The wing of Horticultural
hall, destroyed by a wind storm, will
be rebuilt. A new woven wire fence
has been placed around the whole
grounds, all the old buildings have
been repaired, painted and put in the
best condition.
September 5 is Woodmen day and on
that occasion the handsomely uniform
ed drill teams will contest for prizes
ranging from $25 to $75. Three priies
will be given for the best drilled
teams. There are 40,000 Woodmen in
Nebraska and a host is expected on
that day.
Secretary Furnas announces that the
outlook for exhibits was never' better.
Let the people all attend this great
fair and with their families spend a
few -days' recreation profitably and
pleasantly.

State Veterinarian Called Bat Coald Do
Nothing for Taeaa.
PENDER. Neb., Aug. 19. Fred
Smith, a fanner one mile from Fred
Glister's, lost four head of cattle from
anthrax. Mr. Smith did not realize
the tearfulness of the disease and
skinned one -of the cows. He let his
hogs have the carcass and inside of
two hours forty-five hogs were dead.
His big dog ate a portion of the car
cass and died in a few minutes. Mr.
Smith cut his finger while skinning
the creature and when he reached
town his hand was swollen stiff. He
was persuaded to go to a physician for
treatment. The doctor is unable to
say whether he can save him, but the
swelling seemed to be checked some
what before he left town for home.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. The trotting
interests of the Empire City have not
received such a boom in a quarter of
a century sa were developed today at
the Brighton Beach track, when un
der the auspices of the New Yorl:
Trotting association the champion
stallion and champion gelding. Cres
ceus and The Abbott, came together
for a purse of $12,000. The Abbott,
with his record of 2:03 of last sea
son, and Cresceus, with his mark of
2:024, made at Columbus, were to
decide the question of which was the
one to go down in history as the fast
est trotting horse now living.
There was a larger crowd present
than ever seen on a New York trot
ting track. The grand stand was sim
ply packed and this despite the fact
that reserved seats with admission
cost $4, while boxes holding four per
sons were all disposed of at $30 each
In addition to the regular admission.
While the seating capacity is but 3,500,
It was undoubtedly a fact that close
to 5,000 persons were jammed into the
structure.
Every available space between the
stand and the track was packed to
its utmost capacity, and the paddock,
infield and cheaper 'admission field
contained a legion of people. It was
estimated that fully 15,000 people were
present The weather was simply per
fect for the great trial and the track
was like velvet, though probably a
second slow. Several times during
the afternoon both horses put In some
preliminary work, and each time they,
passed the crowd there was great en
thusiasm. Coming down the stretch it was a
battle royal, with The Abbott very
close up, but Cresceus with his bull
dog grip kept on with nostrils ex
tended and just managed to beat his
opponent .by a half length in 2:03,
the world's trotting record in a race.
To say that the announcement cre
ated tumultuous applause only faintly
conveys the meaning of the expres
sion. A little over half an hour had ex
pired when the two grand horses came
out for their second trial and were
started under the same conditions that
existed in the first heat -They were
sent away beautifully, but The Abbott
had not traveled a hundred yards be
fore he made a disastrous break and
before he could recover his gait Cres
ceus was in front The Abbott, once
settled, made a grand effort to over
take his opponent but the son of
Robert McGregor was out for victory,
and kept on, passing the quarter in
31 seconds; the half in 1:02; the
three-quarters in 1:35, and came rush
ing home the last quarter in 31 sec
onds, doing the mile in 2:06. with
The Abbott back of the flag.
As the race was best three in five,
Ketcham consented that Cresceus go
another heat. This he did shortly be
fore 5 o'clock, accompanied by a run
ner for the first half, where he was
joined by another runner, and he did
the mile in 2:05, the quarter in: 30,
the half in 1:01, and the three-quarters
in 1:34. ,,

JOLIET, 111., Aug. 16. The four
lodges of the Amalgamated association
employes of the Illinois Steel company
at the Joliet mills by a unanimous vote
decided to obey the strike order of
President Shaffer. The conference was
in session from 3 o'clock in the after
noon to 9 o'clock at night before the
decision was reached.
The steel mills were closed at nobn
to enable the members of the associa
tion to attend the meeting which was
called by National Assistant Secretary
Tighe after his arrival here. He was
accompanied by Vice President Davis
of the Fourth district Both men
presented the side of the association
to the local members. It was argued
that in order to secure the organiza
tion of non-union workers in the east
it was essential that the western men
would have to join the strike move
ment Mr. Tighe also appealed to the fealty
of the men to the association. He
urged them to be men and stand by
meir union, mis remarics were re
ceived with enthusiasm and caused the
vote that followed.
This action will close the entire
steel plant here, throwing out of em
ployment nearly 3,000.
BRISK FIGHTING AT FANAMA.

KINGSTON, Jamaica. Aug. 16. The
British steamer Darien has arrived
here from Colon and brings reports
of heavy fighting Monday on the out
skirts of Panama and Colon. The reb
els were steadily advancing on the
towns proper. A large number of men
had been wounded.
A large number of wounded men
belonging to the government troops
were taken to Colon Monday. This is
regarded as an indication of the per
sistency of the rebel attacks. The
converted cruiser Namouna has been
found practically useless, owing to the
bulging attempts to mount heavy guns
on her.
The Darien brought forty passengers
who were obliged to leave Colon in or
der to escape the danger and to avoid
conscription. The British consul at
Colon has entered a protest against
Jamaicans being compelled by the
Colombian government to fight against
the rebels.

CHICAGO. Aug. 15 There will be
no strike of the employes of the steel
mills in South Chicago. This point
was settled last night when the men
refused to reconsider the action taken
Saturday night, at which time they
decided to stand by their contracts
with the mills and refused 'to join
the strikers. After they had declined
to reconsider. Assistant Secretary M.
F. Tighe, of the Amalgamated asso
ciation, who came to Chicago with the
intention of securing a revocation of
the action of Saturday nignt, if pos
sible, declared that he revoked the
charters of both lodges of the Amal
gamated association in the South Chi
cago mills and declared the men out
side the organization. The men greet
ed his announcement with laughter
and cheers. Mr. Tighe arrived in the
city Wednesday and spent the day ar
ranging for a secret meeting of the
two lodges of the Amalgamated asso
ciation to be held last night The
men gathered at the appointed time,
but there were so few of them in the
hall that the end of the matter was
a foregone conclusion. By far the
greater number of the members of
the two lodges had gone to work in
stead of coming to the meeting and
only a handful was present. Mr. Tighe
made a long address to the men, giv
ing them the story of the strike from
the standpoint of the Amalgamated
association and asking them to help
the men in the east by quitting the
mills in South Chicago. Several
speeches were made by the local mem
bers of the association in reply to
Mr. Tighe, the general trend being
that the men considered themselves
bound by contracts with their employ
ers and that they did not think that
it was their duty to turn their backs
on these contracts at the bidding of
the association. At 11 o'clock a vote
was taken on the question of recon
sidering and by an overwhelming ma
jority the men refused to reopen the
question. Mr. Tighe then announced
that the charters of both lodges were
revoked and the meeting dissolved.
After leaving the meeting Mr. Tighe
expressed himself as greatly disap
pointed at the action taken this even
ing and said that be will go to the
Bayview mills at Milwaukee and also
to those at Joliet He will repeat the
program at these places, explain to
the men the causes of the strike and
if they then decline to reconsider their
action in refusing to join the ranks
of the strikers he will declare the
charters of all their lodges forfeited
and rule the men out of the associa
tion. HAWAII'S MAIL BAGS BILGE.

Some evasions of the inheritance
tax law can hardly be regarded aa
wholly unpardonable. General Di
Cessola, of the New York Metropdli
tan Museum of Art, says that Mr.
Charles R. Curtis informed him some
time ago that he had made provision
in his will for a bequest of flO.OOO
to the museum. Lately Mr. Curtis
called again and saitf: "General, . I
don't think I will leave you that $10,
000. I will give it to you in cash. The
inheritance tax will take up 1.500 or
$2,000 of it, and you will not get the
benefit of the whole amount if I leave
It to you in my will." And he handed
over the cash.

A False Impression Corrected Fan
American Exposition Railroad Fare
and Hotel Rates Low as Could be
Expected.
Buffalo, N. Y., July 30. A joint
meeting of railway passenger agents,
hotel and newspaper men was held
this afternoon with the view of adopt
ing some means for correcting so far
as possible the impression that ap
pears to prevail at distant points that
railway rates to the Pan-American Ex
position are high and that hotel rates
in Buffalo are excessive. The confer
ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can
accommodate two hundred thousand
visitors in its private houses and hos
tels at rates ranging from fifty cents
to two dollars per night, and that, no
one need pay more than one dollar
for a first-class lodging in a private
house. It was also shown that the
railroad rate is lower than for any
former exposition for a five, ten or
fifteen day ticket, according to dis
tance, being at the rate of one fare
plus one dollar for the round trip,
from all parts of the country. The
Niagara Falls cheap, one-day special
excursions of former years, when
trains were overcrowded and everyone
subjected to great discomfort, are re
membered only so far as the low rate
is concerned, and this is quoted as
showing what might be done. The
passenger agents assert that the pres
ent half rates are as low as can rea
sonably be expected. An extension of
the present limit has been looked for,
as it gives too short a time for anyone
to see the big exposition, but it has
not yet been modified. Other points
which the representatives of the pub
lishers' association will lay stress
upon are that the Exposition is com
pleted in all details and that both
Buffalo and the Exposition are well
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country.
A joint committee was. appointed to
deal with, questions affecting the Ex
position and the proper welcome and
care of guests. The Exposition has
had in operation for some timo a free
bureau of information for the conve
nience of intending visitors.
Affliction and physic should be
Judged by the effect rather than by the
iaste.
The man with but a single idea al
ways has ah exalted opinion of him
