All nature seems to smile pleasantly , and
If the remainder of the \rcok la plcaiant ,
' iho finest and largest atalo fair and the

bo the conviction of all. Even to-day
it is estimated that there are 0,000
strangers in tbo city , and every train la
bringing In full coaches , and every road
entering the city la crowded with vehicles
of nil doacrlptton. Considerably over
5,000 entries were received by Saturday
night , and nil day Sunday the fair
grounds looked like n vast work-shop ,
filled with workmen , ouch of whom
seemed determined to accomplish all ho
could. Very inncb , Indeed , was accim-
pllehed , but by no menus waa everything
ready Monday , and there seemed to bo
as many exhibits received and being
placed in position ni on any
other d y , although the building
waa about completed. The ma
chinery , agricultural , floral and
art balls are replete , and in each may bo
aeon the thrift , energy , progress and piido
of the older states , although Nebraska
Is ia her teoas , It being out eighteen
years since she was admitted Into the sis
terhood of the f tales. To go through each
department and to nuke moatlon of the
multitude of exhibits and the names of
the exhibitors , or oven of thovciy best ,

Over fifty of the loading machine and

INCIDENTS Or THE FlUST BAY.
Trains rolled Into Lincoln yesterday
beating honest citizens and crooks , each

Country lads aud lasiea gizsd admiringly

and agkln , aa some special object of inter
est wonld catch their eye , tliey stopped
and dltcmsed it. A group of clerical
looking gentlemen , with black broad
cloth high-buttoned frock ooata and
white choken mingled with the crowd.
Evidently they had formed a pirly from
neighboring vllltgea to como In to enjoy
the sights from lilghlmoral Jatandpolnt
Several of them polled contentedly at cl
gats , which showed that worldly pleas
urea wora not beyond their observation
or liking , A brass bind composed of one
entire family of eovon ; four brothers and
throe slaters , discoursed music on the
streets , and fakirs , pickpockets , confi
dence men and fllm-fUinors mingled with
honest men and women. The best of
plrits pervaded , and those ot an ixloo-
hello variety were dispensed to thirsty
crowds who believed their natural vivac
ity needed auch as tlmulna to meet the
requirements of the occasion. Very few
drunken men were even icon and
only a amall number of fights
occurred.
The light fingered jjontry employed
their tlmo to bettor advantage
than any other class , and numerous com
plaints of their handiwork weto made
during the day. Stale Treasurer Wlllard
was a considerable sufferer. After ho had
retired to his room at the Commercial
hotel ulght before last , and had fallen
asleep , his room was entered by enotk
thieves and a valuable gtld watch and
chain worth $1GO , waa taken , bosldea a
imall amount of money. The thieves
were professional * , fcr they used "out

lho end of the key opened the door by
timply turning It from tbo outside. The
same nion wont Into other rooms and ob
tained small smounts. There Is no cine

the blacksmith to tie the horse ontsldo of

turn for about 7. The blacksmith
did aa requested , but when the man re
turned the horse it ivaa gone. He made
nnmeroua Icqnlrloa about it , but no ono
could give him any information aa to its
whereabouts. A longeearch through the
city last evening failed to find any track
of the animal. It U evident that oltlui

Lecture.
The fair weather Sunday drew
largo number cf peopto out to the services
at the various sanctuaries of the city.
At the FIrit Prcabjterlan church Rev.
W. J. Harsha preached to largo audiences
both morning and night. In the oven-
nlng , ho delivered tbo first of a aorloa of
lectures on "Common Sense In Religion , "
similar in pnrpcsa and nature 'to those
ho prepared some four or five years ago ,
and which proved so popular. Following
la a synopsis of the lecture ! "Why are
dlfllcnltles to be found In the Blblel"
In answering this question there are
two mala points to bo considered the
origin and the uio of biblical difficulties.
As to tbo their origin wo must re
member how many men worked on the
Bible , how far they were separated by
tlmo and space , No two , scarcely , were
permitted to confer together. They wrotn
independentlyoften took different vlowaof
persona and thingi , had different modea
of arranging their teachings , and differ
ent methods of reckoning tlmo. Hence
came about the apparent discrepancies of
the Bible.
Tnen , too , thoBlblo uses popular Ian *
gnage. It seeks to reich the popular
heart. It does not attempt to teach
philosophy or chronology. It speaks of
the sun rising and setting and uses lan-
guigo na an ordinary , mean would. Wo
spc k of the battle of Bunker Hill.
Everybody knows that tbo battle did not
occur upon Bunker's ' Hill but on Breed's
Hill. Yet no ono la deceived by the
popular way of speaking of It. So with
Bible language.
Aa to the use of the difficulties of the
Blblo much may bo said. They stimulate
thought and arouse investigation. They
show the analogy between nature and
the written word. One God is therefore
the author of bath.
Bat the hard sayings of the Bible also
chow the Importance of the spirit over
the letter. There can bo no mistake
aa tj the meaning of God when ho
promises pardon &nd life to all
who will believe. This is the
ooul of tha Blblo , all else Is the compara
tively in significant body. The difficulties
cling not to th's aaul , they concern the
moro lettering and numbering of bible
truth. God says In effect , lot the letter -
tor go , cling to the spirit , accept of par
don iu Christ and the difficulties of the
Blblo will not long disturb you. There
Is nothing difficult about tha promise ,
"Oomo unto mo all yo that labor and are
heavy laden aud I will give yen rest. "
NOTES.

largo audience was present to hear the
lectnro delivered by A. K. Myattwiy , a

people , their Idols , etc. , eta. , which fea
ture added greatly to the interest of the
occasion.

) oslt $500 forfeit money and authorize

OMAHA , S pt. 14. Mr. Wagner Dear sir :

side , wo have to-night covered your forfeit of
851)0 ) in the hands of Mr. Gnrnoau , and name

While the BEE man was reading the
taper Mr. Garnoau came In , and Mr.
Jammings at once handed him COO and
laid ho would make the final dope sit the
light before the race. When the pro-
Imlnaties had bcon settled Mt. Cam
ming * continued :
"Mr. Wigner has a great mare In
? hylll3 and thinks ho can boat almost
my man's horse. But ho undorostinutco
ho speed of Joe Davis. Wo htvo , by
ciroful management , held the horse out
ot tbo fast chases , while Phyllis has been
; oiog in the 2:15 : and free-for-all races. I
hink 2:15 : Is about the right mark for
ho mate , and I know Joe Divij can do
mlle at thoaimo gilt. Why , at Olovo-
nd ho finltbod under a strong pull In
! :17 : , being pulled all the way up the
lomo stretch. If lot oat ho wonld have
ono the mile in 2:15 : sure. The next
lay Phyllis had to trot for all she was
worth to got out in 2:15i. : I don't know
f two horses that are moro closely

absve :
"OiiABA , September 14. To Grimes &
/ummlngs , Gentlemen The result of the
ace Saturday between my mare Phyllis , and
our boree Joe Daxls , is unsatisfactory to me
n many ways. Whllo I drove
s bard and fast as the condition
ion of tbo track wonld then permit , and
was beaten , I honestly believe that I should
iavo won tbo race had I not have giveu up
be pole in the second heat. In order to set-
to the matter I hereby challenge you to make
t match for $1,000 a side , for a race of mile
leuts , best three in five , to be trotted over

Lieut W. A. Stunk , Euhth United
States cavalry , and Mias Mor/ill , daugh-
er of Fust Chaplain Merrill , were united
n the holy bonds of wedlock at flort
31 rk , Tex. , one bright and rosy morn-
nt ; In early Juno last. IVo hours after
ho Cvrj-nony was performed , and
rhllo brldo and groom , surrounded by
dolr congratulatory frloudsgtlll lingered
ver the snmptunns wedding breakfast ,
n order waa received from headquarters
Irecting Lieut. Shunk's com
pany to teko the field
gainst Geronlmo , the Apicho
Jhlef , and his band of rojtlosti , ducon-
ented and blood thirsty redskins. It
was hard. Not a doubt of that. Bat
hero WAS nothing for Lieut. Shank to do
rat bid his blushing and weeping bride
good-bye , fling himself Into the aaddlo ,
nd ride away after the Apache mlasro-
nte. It coon bacarao evident that the
impaign agalnat tbo Indiana wonld be
eng and tedious , so Peat Chaplain Mor-
11 decided to return with his family in-
luding Mra. Lieut. Shnnk , to their old
lome In Atlanta , Ga. Thus the separa-
! on between the rudely aoverod man and
wife becimo wider and moro complete.
All summer long Lieut. Shunk , with his
company , scouted through Ar.'z > na , In
) uratilt of the Apaoho band , while bis
> r&vo and pUlent wlfo quietly awaited
its return at her old homo away down In
Georgia. Two weeks ago Llout. Shunk ,
still la the field , was overwhelmed with
oy and pleasurable anticipation
3y the receipt cf an order detailing him
; o attend the cavalry school at Fort
Lavonwortb , Kan. As may bo Imagined ,
ao was not long In obeying this most
welcome order. Upon reaching Fort
Loavenworthhoroadily aecurcd a short
eave of absence , telegraphed Mrs.
Shuuk to meet him ia St. Lou ! ? , and on
Mtnd y the brldo and groom were re
united at the Santhom hotel in this city.
Tholr long deferred honeymoon will
donbtlesa prove unusually happy , and
will bo marred by uo fears cf a second
mddon and uncxpocted separation.
