LINC&IV. Sept. 14.1
The Nebraska state fair for ISS'J is a thing
of the post. It has couio and pone and lofc
n truln of pleasant memories bohindit. The
managers , the exhibitors and the people are
nil satisfied with everything connected with
tlin exhibition , and the clerk of the weather ,
Who Is usually very tyrannical , was pleased
to smile on its efforts during every day of
the show.
Of course nothing Is absolutely known to
day regarding the financial outcome oC the
fair. Some claim that it has uioro than paid
expenses , whllo other members of the board
of managers think otherwise. ID fact , there
is a rumor currant that Mr. Ilonry and Mr.
Dunham have a bet of a box of cigars on that
question. The expenses of this year wcro
150mo $ , ' 1,200 greater than last your , viz. , pre
miums $ .3,000 and special attractions $ li00 ! ,
The receipts from the sale of booths foil
about 81,500 short of last year. This is ex
plained by tlio fact that each alternate year
the receipts from such privileges are loss
than the year boforo. The goto receipts
I more than mndo this up , being $3,000 greater
than last year. The receipts from tbo rent of
tails and from tbo speed ring wcro about
$1UOO greater than last year.
Regarding the attendance , Thursday was
| M tlm biggest day in the history of the associa
tion. Kvory other day during the week was
bigger than last your except Monday , which
fell short. From reports received from ever
the atuto It la believed that the receipts from
uttondunco would have boon ut least
(10,000 greater It the railroads could have no-
commodatod the people who wanted to come.
Whllo the railroads made special arrange
ments for this purpose , the demand was so
much greater thaa they contemplated that
they were absolutely unable to handla the
crowds.
The fair grounds urn about deserted this
evening , Every exhibit has boon removed
except the machinery , which will all bo taken
uwuy by to-morrow night.
If tlio fulr chould bo located In this city for
five years moro there la no question but
what the grounds will have to bo .greatly
improved. There was not a building but
what was overtaxed , and Thursday , as
many people were turned away from the
amphitheater as could bo accommodated.
Extensive Improvements will have to bo
made , and It IB understood that tlm uooplo of
Lincoln will look after the matter to the sat-
Hlaction of ull.
The board liopm to finish its work on
Monday.
A MUle Wreck.
A railroad , collision occurred this after
noon at Seventh and M streets , In which ,
fortunately , no ono was seriously Injured.
There Is a 11. & M. sldo track at that point ,
upon which it Is customary for a switch
cugluo to await the arrival ot passenger
trains from the west , mid as soon as they
rasa it tokea the main line again and fol
io w * thorn up to the depot , where It switches
the car * Into tbo desired positions.
Switch onglno No. 215 , with Engineer
llaruoy Haughty and Fireman Pete Mo-
GiQtilM took this sidetrack thU afternoon
V > await the arrival of No. 3 , the regular
passenger from the west , duo about 1
o'clock. A switchman , named Al Pond , lot
them into the switch and then forgot to
close It. In consequence of hisforgotfulress
No. 2 , which came sailing in soon afterwards
at a pretty lively Jog , was thrown upon the
side trade and collided with the switch en
gine. Fortunately the force of the collision
was not sutllciont to inllict serious damage.
No. 3 had the usual long train , and the
passengers wcro somewhat shaken up , but
DO ono seriously hurt. An old lady named
Margaret Kelly , living near Palmyra , was
standing up getting a drink when the shock
came. She had her head bumped with force
aufllciont to knock liur senseless , but the
scalp was not cut , though a big bump upon
her head attested the force of the bruiso.
She soon recovered consciousness. She is
seventy years old.
The engine of the passenger train , la
charge of Engineer Stetson , had the boiler
lioiul knocked out , and the tank of the switch
onglno was cut open. Neither were thrown
from the track , nor were any of the cara.

The Wllliml Hospital.
Tbo Wlllard hospital , under the auspices
of the Wtllard W. C. T. U. of this city ; has
closed its doors. Since its organization , some
two years ago , it has done a power of good.
It was well patronized until the last. The
ladles do not quit because they had nothing
to do , but for various reasons , ono of which
is that tbo lo.iso on the promises at Seven
teenth and Q streets has expired , and par
tially from the didlculty oxporloncod In mis-
ing the money to keep the institution going.
It Is said that oven the churches , which
should have boon expected to do something ,
have boon lukewarm in their support.
There Is a rumor that thoy'Intend establish
ing nu "Open Door , " but this bus not been1
confirmed.
The Sisters' hospital will begin October 1 ,
and that will supply the demands of our people -
plo in that lino.
Tlio Hnrnofsiiinlccrs' Convention.
The harncssmnkora' convention has Just
closed in this city. It perfected a permanent
organization and elected the following offi
cers : President , W , A. Downing , Kearney ;
vlco presidents , Ed. Stout , Hastings , P. Mat
thews , Albion , John A. Parker , Hcatrlcc , A.
H. Brandies , Seward , J. T. Morris , Impe
rial , W. H. Grimes , Odoll ; secretary and
treasurer , Charles E. Soifort , Lincoln. The
purpose of the organization ia declared to bo
to fraternally unlto to further the interests
of hurnossmakurs and to protect them from
tlio unfair competition of wholesalers who
retail , and to cause Wholesalers to sell to the
consumer or to the dealer , and not to both.
Over llfty letters were road from hurness-
inukors in different parts of the state who
sympathized with the movement , but could
not bo present.
A. Itcinnrkubly Fine Honl.
TUB DEB baa Bald but little concerning the
flue display ot horses at the Btato fair thus
fur , preferring to wait until the awards were
made that would show the judgment of the
judges as well as of the paper. It is proven ,
of all the herds shown at tbo fair , that the
herd of Porohorons from Mapla Grove farm ,
near Fremont , Neb. , stands at the head both
in merits and prizes. Maple Grove farm and
its fine stock Is the property of Mark M.
Coad , ono of the largest and best known
breeders of Porchorons In the west. Under
the awards mndo at Lincoln , Mr. Coad'a
Porchorons carried oft seventeen first and
second premiums , and tbo sweepstakes prize
of $ " 00 for the best herd owned In tbo state
by any ono Individual or firm. It is Just as
well to mention here that this herd carried
oft this saino sweepstakes prize nt the state
fair a your ago , making the record perma
nent and going far to show the good breed
ing and blood in Mr. Goad's stock , and show
ing further that Nebraska can raiao as good
Porchorons as can bo raised in France.
Over one-halt of this premium herd was
raised in Nebraska , the remaining ones being
imported direct from Franco. Sixteen hand
from this herd Bhowu last week In Omaha
look fifteen first and second premiums.
Standing at the head of this herd is "Turc , "
French number , fl.STJ , American number ,
10,053. Turo Is four years old past and re-
rotvod the first premium out of a herd of
fourteen stallions exhibited of four years of
nco und upward. Ho IB undoubtedly , ono of
the flncst horses in tno west. Turo ale
took first premium for a stallion showing
llvo of his colts , und tbo sweepstakes for the
bcstatalliou of. any ago or breed with his
colts.
"Miramar" Is another fine spcclman In Mr.
Goad's herd. Ho is four years old paat and
second only to Turo , taking socutid price in
his class , Mlrumar's French number is
0,769 und American 8,077. "Do Lossops'f Is a
two-year-old stallion , raised on Maple Grove
farm. American number 7,550. Ho took

A GA.KDKN SPOT.
Tlio City of Alma anil the Uich Terri
tory Surroiimlinii It.
AI.MA , Nob. , Sept. 14. [ Special to Tim
BEE. J Traveling across the great state of
Nebraska , from the Missouri river towards
the setting sun , the tourist IB surprised nt
the constantly changing panorama of culti
vated fields and carnered grain , of groves
and stream and hill , of cities and towns and
herds , whore but a few years ago there was
nought but the buffalo , the pralrio dog and
the grit and determination of the pioneers.
The great Republican valley seems indeed to
bo the garden spot of the stato. Hero whore
ton years ago there was nothing but tbo vast
and billowy expanse of prairie , now stand
the homes of thousands , attesting the truth
of the fact that will makes the way. The
sod houses of a few years ago have
disappeared and in their places , as
if by maglo bavo sprung the com
fortable frame houses and barns and grauar-
los ot the present land owners. Herds of
cattle have usurped the feeding ground of
the buffalo , the tame grasses have pushed
out their native kinds , orchards have sprung
up , vineyards reared , towns teeming with
busy industrial life luvo built up and grown
und now require the conveniences of u me
tropolis. TnU county ( Hurlun ) Is within the
rain bolt , having no failure of crops here for
the lust four years from lack of sufficient
rainfall , and on every hand ono sees material
verification of the surcoss and prosperity of
this year's farming. Not only are the cereals
abundantly'produced , but tlio tame grasses
nnd fruits are bora grown with great suc
cess.
cess.Tho principal city in the Republican valley
Is Alma , the county seat of Hurlan county ,
situated on tbo main line of the Burlington
system to Denver , fifty miles west from Ited
Cloud and seventy miles oust from McCook ,
It is also tbo present terminus and u division
station on the Kansas City & Omaha
railroad , a branch line of nnd operated by
the Union Paclllo system. Here one finds a
thriving city of U.OOO people stirring and
keenly nlivo to the welfare and interest of
tholr town. The people are doing a good
deal of improving this year. A largo two-
story hotel , brick , costing about $15,000 , has
been erected , furnished throughout with all
modern conveniences ; accurt iiouso costing
910,000 , of brick and stone trimmings , is
bulMIng ; n now Iron brldgo ucross the Ho-
publican river , at this place , is being erected
ut u cost of 7,000 , nnd homo very fine resi
dences uro building and in course of com
pletion. The old court bouse building will
bo remodeled , repaired and made Into a jail
as soon us the officers are well in the new
building. Wo find a well organized board ot
trade ut this point , and taking advantage of
tbo harvest excursion , , , they have had printed
10,000 descriptive circulars for dlstnlm-
tion In the east and have men at v-ork In Illi
nois , Missouri and Ohio distributing nnd
giving information regarding the Btato ut
larfo und this county In particular , and in
ducing tlm Immigration to this point. Tlio
place la well supplied wltn churches and
church privileges , the Christian , MethodUt ,
Evangelical and Congrugatloual denomina
tions all having houses of worship , the lust
named putting the last touches on a very line
building erected this summer. The public
schools of this place are gruiind by tlio stnto
superintendent us ranking eleventh In the
state and u certificate of graduation admits
to the freshman class A the stuto university.
With flvo newspapers and three banks und
the merchants wide awake to bo represented
and advertised , with all departments of
trade fairly represented , the future of Alma
Hooms certain. Her pnoplo are intelligent ,
industrious , social and a unit for every thing
that will bu of advantage their town.
