J fHitoM THE nr.E's LINCOLN nuiiKAu.1
t , The estimate of people in attendance
ftt the Htato fair yesterday ranged from
enthusiasts to conservatives from seven
ty-five to sixty thousand people. Certain
it is there were no less than sovonty-fivc.
The state fair never has enjoyed a crowd
of over oiio-lialf the si/.o of yesterday's
on any ono day before in tlio history of
its organization and it may never see the
like again. The day was cool and in
every way all that could bo asked. Many
i ! . that constituted the crowd arrived in the
city the evening before , but such crowds
> us arrived on tlio trains from every direc
' -it - tion during the early part of thn day
yj wcro never witnessed' in the state before.
Every train was loaded to the guards ;
$1 Iwx euro , llat cars , cattle cars , all were
* ! * brought into requisition , mid then all
who sought to reach Lincoln yesterday
'
v 'j. could not bo accommodated. The state
v * f fair managers could undoubtedly pay all
expenses and premiums of the entire fair
out of the receipts of yesterday. Tlio
weather , the time of the week and minor
matters contributed much toward gath
ering the crowd and the little horse at
thu speed stables , Jay-Kyo-See , did tbo
balance. The state fair managers have
had attractions before but never any tiling
npproximating toward Jay-Kyo-Seo. Tlio
little iiorse was not announced to appear
until 2:130 : p. m , , but before noon tlio am
phitheater was crowded toils utmost and
before tlio hour for the races , many
could not purchase scats. Throughout
the dav the halls and buildings on tbo
grounds wore packed to suffocation nnd
] > olico ollicers were stationed in all to
keep the mass of humanity in motion.
I'rom tlio city to the grounds the streets
were crowded with vehicles of every do.
Bcription and the test to transport the
public never approached the like of yes
terday before. So tar as could bo ascer
tained , the duv was fairly free from ac
cidents anil 'thieving and trouble , if in
progress , were not reported.
STATE FISH COMMISSION EXIIIIIIT.
Three years ago this exhibit was assigned -
signed a small sp'ace in Art hall. Lasl
your , through the olforts of Mr. May , the
etato fair board wore induced to prepare
a building for the commission and thii
year they bavo added to and arranged sc
that it is quite convenient for the exhibit
the whole thing being under the super
vision of Mr. W7 L. May. who is president
dent of the American Fisheries society
and who has been instrumental in plac
ing the hatcheries and fisheries in iti
present popular anil successful condi
tion. The ollicers of the American fish'

The state commission Is composed o
W. L. May , 11. 11. Livingstone and Dr. 1) )
U. Kenneilay , with Mr. E. O'Hrion ' super
intundent of hatcheries. The exhibi
building on the grounds cost about $2,00
and is the only ono iu the United State
upon state fair grounds , which shows tha
tlio Nebraska board is not only the mos
enterprising , but that it always antici
pates thu wants of thu people , to pleas
and instruct , as la manifested by th
irreat crowds which continually throni
the walk for visitors. A careful coun
demonstrated that over thirty thousam
people visited this exhibit yesterday an
were only sorry that they could not sta
longer for a closer examination of tli
lish and their interests.
The ha'.ehorios of tli'n state are locate
near South Bond , in this state , and coir
priso fifty-two acres , only a portion o
which are taken up with tlio hatchcru
proper. The preparing and saving fo
the lish is very minute and full of duta
of which only an outline can bo givei
The spawn or eggs are stripped from tli
breeding fish in the fall of the year an
hatched during the winter season an
shipped to ponds or streams which at
entirely void of fish , or of fish of th
nuj.ui'u which are bred at the liatchorio <
The shipping months are March , Apr ;
and May for brook trout , wall-eyed plk
nnd mountain trout , and October , Mi
vembur and December for black btv
nnd Gorman carp. In order to seem
those minnows , application should t
made to one of the commissioners or tl
superintendent at South Uond , givin
full description of the water , how Upend
pond or stream is fed , and , If practical ) !
in due time the lish will be equal
divided and sent by express , tlio parl
receiving them paying the express enl
no charge being made for the fish. Dti
ing the past season 10.000,000 of Hi
have boon shipped to ditfurout points i
this state anil still the applications are
excess of the ability of the hatcheries
supply. These lish do not need feodii :
upon being placed Into now waters , i
ordinariily , unless already ovoratockei
the ponds or streams contain ouou ;
natural food for their supply.
These hatcheries are sustained by sta
appropriations alone , there being tether
other income to thu fisheries. The Icgi
luturo last winter appropriated $ I2 , &
for the sustenance of tlin institution f
tlio coming two years. No salaries a
attached to any of these ofiiciuls exco
tlio superintendent , who receives a sm :
compensation. Tills work was begi
I six years ago as an experimental stutio
anil through the efforts of Mr. May it h
become one of the most Important i
dustries of thu state , having suppll
nearly every stream in thu state wi
large numbers of fish , besides innumt
able numbers of individual ponds. T
commission has tried varioui kinds
fish nnd is htlll experimenting with ol
ers to sccuru the best , but so lar has s
tied down on the kinds heretofore m <
tioued as being the best adapted to t
waters nnd food of this state. Kve
Mate In the union and several torritor
have hatcheries , which they are incre
ing und adding to each year , find !
them profitable and remunerative. W
cousin , Ohio , Michigan and other sta
appropriate as high us 120,000 per anm
to support their hatcheries , und yet
three of these states do not cover
much territory as Nebraska , though I
commission is doing nearly as much

are liberally supported. The follow !

r. HANDSOME HOUSE FLESlt.
o The finest display of Inraes over e
> f hlbltcd in the state can bo , soon at t
i- fair grounds. The number of horses c
tceeds by 60 per cent any display ev
> made before in the state. Standing
ie the front of the magnificent display
y horse flesh is the exhibition made by 1
us L. Klwood , of Dclvalb , 111. , who has for
head of imported trench Porchoro
that came direct to the fair from t
sIowa state fair , whore they swept t
us ring of first premiums. Mr. UJwood
m bringing these horses to Nebraska h
ill shown the interest that breeders of i
us ported stock are taking in Nebraska , a
ID when Mr. Klwood saw the 00,000 pooi
that yesterday passed before the sta
10 containing his horses ho know tl
his trip was more than ho expected in t
at line of exhibitions. Mr. Klwood's ohoi
stock needs to be scon to bo appreciate
Kvery animal is a beauty , clean of lln
perfect in build and altogether the fin
exhibit ever made in the stato. Tl
they are all this WM exemplified wh
they wcro shown for premiums , I
horses winning first premium from swei
stakes down. With ono exception , wl :
the horses were returned to their sU
they bore off the field twelve blue ribbc
as trophies of the contest. Standing
the head of Mr. Klwood's herd is I
magnificent stallion , King of Perche , tl
everywhere decorated with first u
mlttin ribbons. Superior , another mag
nificent animal , is llttlo if any behind in
the points of worth , and every animal In
the lot has especial features of merit ,
four handsome. French coach horses
were greatly admired from among Mr.
Klwood's ' stock , anil these wcro no ox-
emulous from the rule in tlio taking of
premiums. Visitors to the fair find on
entering the grounds Mr. Klwood's stock
ranged along the first fifty box stalls iu
the horse department. If any think that
lluu stock is not appreciated in Nebraska
they should stand and watch the crowds
that gather before the stalls , and they
woulu KUOW that it pays enterprising
men like Mr. Klwood to display their
stock to Nebraska people , Mr. Elwood ,
in gpoaklug of the Nebraska state fair ,
said that it exceeded in every way his ex
pectations , and lie has no regrets for
bringing his magnificent exhibit to thu
tttiite. Mr. Klwood is one of thu
leaders in tlio west in the Pcrchoron
importing business and lias a line of stock
that cannot bo excelled. He keeps only
the choicest of animals imported and
from direct imported horses , on his
stock farm at DcKalb , for sale and any
desiring to Improve/ stock or purchase
something that they know is alt that is
assorted of it should write for circulars
to Mt. Klwood. Judging from thu exhi
bit at the fair there if no liner stock this
side of the Atlantic.
A. FINK UISIT.AY OF IMl'LUMUNTS.
The J. M. Hurks Implement company
have ono of the finest exhibitions on the
ground. This enterprising Lincoln linn

every section of the state. Tills firm

fail to attract tlio attention of dealers
over thu stato. This firm show the Ab
bott buggies that wherever known are
greatly appreciated for their workman
ship. They confidently state that the
Abbott buggies show the best work for
the least money of any line of buggies in
he market. Tno firm have on exhibition

of the Abbott make in phaetons , car
riages , surrey's und buggies , in canopy
and extension tops. They are worthy

twelve dill'orent makes , from two nnd
one-fourth to three and one-half inch
axles. In plows they exhibit a full line
of handsome specimens iroin the Walton

tlio Sohu Hidtco Implement company's
works , and they have on exhibition n
largo line of buggies and carriages , usido
from the Abbott make , with which they
can satisfy tlio most fastidious iu
selections. One of the attractive features
in the J. M. Burks Implement company's
exhibit is the Foster seeder. This Is an
attachment to any farm wagon , that , as a
broadcast seeder , eclipses anything ever
exhibited in that line and which is some
thing of a novelty and closely inspected
by all intelligent farmers. This firm.
in addition to their wholesale nnd retail
implement business , carry an extensive
trade in stores for the wholesale trade
nnd their heavy Lincoln retail trade.
Among their great exhibit of
stoves may bo found fifty

of Cribben , Sexton & Co. , Chicago.
Standing at the head of this company's
make are the unrivalled Universal base
burners. One of their stoves is bmldud
entirely of niokle , silver plated , and is i
marvel of beauty. The Universals are
supplied with the patent synhon Hue at
tachment and the appliance for taking
foul air from lloors through thu the stoves
into the chimneys. Mr. w. S. Uarnctt ,
of Chicago , is the manufacturing linn's
agent in display of poods , nnd in addi
tion to base burners ho shows a large
number of styles in hard and soft coal

Uurks Implement company keep con
stantly on hand in all styles and makes.
Local dealers in Nebraska are cordially
invited , while visiting tlio state fair , to

and make always a creditable display.

Kl Paso correspondence Kt. Louis
Globe-Democrat : George W. Baynur , a
well known Texas pioneer , Indian lighter
and ranger , who represents at present
the county of El Paso in the Texas state
legislature , is taking a great deal of in
terest in the mining development of
western Texas , and during the last ses
sion of the legislature tried hard to get a
mining law enacted which would hold
out adequate inducement.- the thorough
prospecting and developing of that sec
tion of the state. Colonel 15iy- :
ncr is about starting on a
regular prospecting. , ana exploring
trip in company with a trusted
companion , heading linst for the Eagle
Springs range , which lies between the
Hio Grande and the Southern Pacilic
railroad , where already extensive coal
veins have boon found and partially de
veloped , but where ho thinks intelligent
and persistent prospecting will also find
paying ore bodies. The range is a regu
lar terra incognita , nnd but seldom visi
ted , owing to the .scarcity of water and
the many massacres by Indians , but is
amiliar to Colouel liayner , who visited
, ho spot as early as 1851 in charge of a
argo catlio train , and was attacked
.here uy about 300 Indians. Dur-
ng the ensuing light two of
us nineteen herders were killed.
'rom the Eagle Spring mountians the
respecting party will EO south down
; ho river , through the Cfnsas and Che-
iiti : mountains , both of which were
< nown to bo full of mineral over two
Hundred years ago. At that early period
; he Spanish Franciscan fathers had a
lumber of missions in this district , each
mrroundcd by a pueblo of peaceful and
jonvorlod Indians. Each mission was
ho pivctal point of extensive mining op
erations , to which the Indians had to con-
Tibute their of ten uiiwillingilabor. Sonio-
ivhere about 1720 the Comanoho Nation ,
lion fierce and powerful , made a general
onslaught on all western Texas , de
stroyed the missions and killed the fath
ers and most of the friendly Indians.
Since then the country has remained an
minlmbited wilderness , and the exis
tence of the old mines can only bo ascer-
aiued by the oxulorer occasionally com-
.ng across deserted and covered shafts or
li'inps , and other evidences of old-
lime development1 * . They are found not
only in Presiilo coiinty , but as far
east as San Saba and Llano counties.
Ono particular spot Colonel Haynor is
aiming for is Presidio county. There is
a canyon with nearly perpindicular bluff
several hundred feet high on oue side ;
the naked face of the rock shows a wide ,
well defined and conspicuous vein of
mineral running along the entire face of
the blu 11 * . If an assay should prove it _ to
bo good pay ore , thorn would bo a mine
there ready to hand for development on
a large scale. That such a conspicuous
ore vein should remain until now un
claimed and undeveloped proves the se
clusion nnd utter loneliness of that im
mense district of country. It is thought
however , that with the immense strides
which El Paso is taking forward at pres
ent in population , commerce and im
portance , settlers will soon flock in largo
numbers to the thrcoMiamed counties ,
most of the lands of which belong to the
school fund of tiio state and can bo
