( knniml address , aa follows :
Gentlemen of the State Board of Agri-
cuUuro , Citi/ens and Farmers of Net -
t > n\9la : A year hns passed since the
last meeting of the state board of agi-
uUuro. While other staU-H have been
viaited with extreme drouths and floods
and other evils to the farmers our state
lias been comparatively free from such
Oxtromos and the year closed has boon
15110 of prosjKjrity. .The state of Ne
braska stands to-day at the head of the
list of states for its good crops and its
extra good stock ot all kinds-ami char-
actor. Other states nro drawing
largely on ua for grain to feed
both the people and their btock.
In looking over the live stock reports
of Chicago and the other oabtorn mar
kets , wo see Nobrabka stock belling for
the highfbt prices and also noted for its
extra ouality. Lot mo nay to the farm
ers it ml feeders of Nebraska , the bettor
care you take and the better you feed
your stock the greater will your profits
no onluiiici'd , Even at the high price
of corn ihls year it pays to food liber-
nllyi You farmers and feeders through
ability and energy added to your abund
ance of Corn and hay , have become the
Iwjbt feeders in the United States. The
eticcoss of Nebraska to-day can bo at
tributed to the intelligence and energy
of her farmers and business mon in thu
Btock business more than anything else.
Business men of eastern cities have seen
that Nebraska Is becoming the great
Btock state of the union and have al
ready invested millions of money in the
slaughtering and packing business in
the Btato , and more ot them are coming.
Lust year over ouo million hogs and u
lrcportionata number of other stock
vore received at Omaha , besides largo
inunburs at Lincoln. Nebraska City and
other poluU in the ' state.
This largo amount ot btock has
returned largo amounts of money
and each of you farmers that
have done your duty have re
ceived the benefits. These homo mar
kets arc worth everything to the
/armors of Nebraska.
All other branches ot trade can at
tribute their success to the farmers.
You gontlonton farmers are the founda
tion of all successful bubiness. Go to
any place in tlio union and where ypu
find poor farming you find business de
pression in iill branches of trade. The
fuels are bnnkon , merchants and all
business Institutions nro dependent upon
tko farmer , both for their living aud
the business they transact.
The farmers have done more toward
build-hip uj ) the t-ltk-s seatlored oVcr the
state than all other vocations and on
you farmers rests the continued prosper-
itj of the Btale.
Our state fairs are organized and
should bo conducted for vour honollt.
From Mich fairs its are he-la much can bo
learned. Other .states contribute ex
hibits in largo niiuibcrri but farmers
and Htockmi'ii of our state have shown
to the world by exhibits made and pre
miums taken that no hotter btock or
products of the soil can be raised than
in Nebraska.
The olllcor.s and members of your
state hoard of agriculture have
worked hard to tniiko your state
failures. Therefore your oIllcoi-H dare
not try Iho oxperiinent. In the matter
of judgesvo have employed one export
judge in the stock department and I
would recommend that an expert judge
be employed in all classes. I think it
will give better ( .attafnction to the
exhibitors. The old way of getting three
'
judges lias always beo'n attended with
trouble and annoyance and it lias been
impossible to get { rood judges in that
way.
way.To the transportation companies of
the state the board is under obligation
for their interest and assistance. The
people of Lincoln during the year hist
pa t , have , as in previous years , been
active in promoting the success of the
fair and the prc&s of thu state have had
an ( thiindnnco of good words both for the
exhibition and the stale board in its
intmngcnicnt. To all these in behalf of
the lioard 1 desire to return our thanks
for their cordial assistance and co
operation.
In conclusion let me renew my thanks
expressed a year ago to the ofllcors and
members of the board for their con
tinued generous co-oporation nnd kind
ness on every hand that has made the
work of my olllce and year pleasant and
not without profit to tlio society.
Tin ; report of the treasurer shows a
balance of * 8iJ2 ( > . ) in the treasury.
The report of that olllcer was received
with manifest murks of approval. Sec
retary Furnnn , in u long and interesting
report , made a number of valuable
recommendations , among them being
one favoring premiums for individual
displays of fish , provisions lor monthly
ana cjunrtorly reports , expert judges ,
premiums for essays and papers on agri
cultural subjects and others. The ro-
jwrts { if the secretary and treasurer
wore referred 1o a committee.
Nominations for membersof the board

There is a general feeling of satisfaction
over the good work of President llarker
and Secretary Furnas the past two
years , nnd n desire to re-elect them. It
is understood that E. A. Barnes , of
Grand Island , desires to succeed Mr.
Marker as president , but the old ofHcora
will undoubtedly bo re-elected.

Wife and family. Ho lussumed the nauto

to bo unable to speak a word of English.
His wife , however , could talk well.
Coming without any household goods
and with limited wardrobes , rooms wore
ut once furnished luxuriously and ro-
rurdloHS of expense , while the ward-
obcs of the family were replenished
vith the richest and most expensive
obcs. Cash was paid for every article ,
nd the pur.so of the mysterious stranger
ecmed to bo without limit , says a Law-
oncoburg , Ind. , bpocial to the Chicago
'lines :
After settling his family lie at once
n to red upon a protracted spree , and
vtthin twenty-four hours afterward was
otorious on account of his cccontrici-
, ics. These were continued at intervals ,
vb.cn ho squandered money with reek-
ess abandon , and his debauches rivaled
lie mo-it famous stories of "Coal Oil
ohnnyV carcor. Twenty and ton-dol-
ar bills were distributed among Kiloon-
ceopors and bar-room loungers with
'reat freedom. The sprees continued
until the purse guvo out. The Swede
vould then leave for the west , shroud-
ng his movements in greatest mystery.
After an nbtonro of three or four weeks

These spruesvoro rouoatcd periodi
cally during the entire time of his resi-
ionco hero. Ho wasarrcstod frequently ,
ind spent many days in the city jail and
paid boverul hundred dollars in fines
ind costs until H jail sentence wasadded
.o the fine. No papers were over fdund
in his person to give any clew to his
dontity. During his absence tlio wife
) fton suffered for the necessaries of life ,
aud at one time , when ho was absent
onger than usual , she was compelled to
eok employment as a domestic. Upon
, ho return 'of the husband amends were
or the neglect , and expensive jewelry
md the finest fabrics were purchased
or her. Tt is positively known that
cloven gold watches were presented to
is many chance acquaintances , and
other valuable articles were distributed ,
ho stranger seeming to possess a mania
or present-making. Two members of
, bo jjoliee force , the jailor , the Ohio &
lissishippi railroad agent and others
voro recipients of gold watches , in ad
dition to the immense sums of money
spent in saloons and profligacy.
It is estimated that the merchants
iavo received upward of ; j > 4,0Xfor ( ) sup-
) lies , wardrobe and furniture. The
itrungor treated his family with great
amities when sobur , but when drink
ing was a terror , and roi > ca.teilly drove
tiis wife and child from the house clad
in their uight garments , compelling
Lhom to seolc shelter with the neigh
bors. During those times the furniture
was converted into kindling wood , and
tlio costly carpets and fine silks into
rags , only to bo replaced after recover
ing from the drunk with goods as rich.
It id now definitely known thut the
name of Thureun is an assumed one and
that his true name is Kronn. His wife
claims marriage under that name at
Milwaukee four years ago. Prior to
moving hero they lived tit St. Charles ,
Mo. , under the name of Beck , and were
compelled to leave there because he
made an attempt to murder his wife , fir
ing two shots at her. A butchc-r and
furniture dealer , in consideration of
$1UH ( ) , furnished bonds for Kroim , and
ho was released from custody and came
to this city. The wife claims to know
nothing whatever of his history or his
business , and pleads ignorance of his
whereabouts when nbicnt upon the peri
odical trips. It it > known that Ottuiuwii
and Indianola , In. . Fort Scott and West
phalia. Kan. , and Dakota towns have
been vihstod by him on thobo bucret
trips.
Krona left liqmo Monday night for
Cincinnati and in formed his family that
ho would return this week with money
to pay all debts and to supply imme
diate wants. Ho only hud a few dollars
and did not intimate that any other
place than Cincinnati was to be visited-
The wife is not uneasy about his ab
sence , and , although in a delicate con
dition and entirely without funds , is
resting contentedly , believing that
Krona will return as promised.
Krona is about forty years of age ,
heavy set , and has a beard covering his
entire face. Ho acts nervously and is
never quiet a moment. He claims to bean

Features of the Banana Trade.
The middlemen in the banana busi
ness purchase their stock at the wharves
as soon tin tlio vessel begins to unload.
They buy from 100 to 1,600 bunches at
a time and cart them immediately to
the collars where they are ripened.
The banana reaches this country in an
extremely green condition. Upon
reaching these collers the bunches are
hung on hooks suspended in rows along
the coiling. In the center of tlio cellar
is a gas or oil stove , which is generally
so regulated as to preserve a tempera
ture of 00 or 70 degrees Fahrontloit.
Hero the fruit ripens gradually until it
is ready for the retailors.
Sometimes , however , when the de
mand is largo for the ripened food , the
cellar is heated to 75 degreesand some
times even 80 degrees , but at this tem
perature the banana is apt to cook , ns it
is called , and lose its flavor. In general
the temperature of the cellar is varied
as the condition of the fruit demands. If
the fruit is chilled , a high temperature
is imperative.
Some little time ago ice boxes were
introduced to the ripening rooms. In
the top of the box is iv largua partment
into which the ice is put , while un
derneath long dripping pans of galva
nized iron are placed. The heat from
the gas stove converted the ice into
water , which slowly runs down into the
pans below. There'It ' quickly evapor
ates and reaches tlo ( top of the room
where the bananas are hung. This
addition was at first regarded as a great
Improvement , for it' ripened the fruit
evenly and brought out a golden color
on the skin ; but it wns found that when
ripened hi this manner the fruit was
extremely delicate and that it spoiled
almo.st immediately when exposed to an
open atmosphere.
The banana must bo nursed as care
fully as a child. Any sudden change of
temperature or exposure to inclement
weather is very sure to produce a bad
ollect. The fruit may bo ripened in
twenty-four hours from the time of its
