[ Special Tele gram to Tim Bun. ] This was n model fair day and at least 10,000 people availed them- solve * of the opportunity to see the attrac tions that have been collected by the Stnto Board of Agriculture. Spoclal trains on nil roads were run to the grounds , each loaded down with peoplo. In ono of the special trains cnmo the officials of Lincoln and Omaha. The latter were mot at the gate by the Omaha mdmbors of the state board , Messrs. Dunham and Mount , and the Humboldt band. They were then escorted to headquarters nnd decorated with u card which pave them the freedom of thogiounds. The courtesy was appreciated and the visi tors were not slow to avail themselves of the privilege conferred. The awarding of premiums Is occupying the attention of nil the Judges. The list of entries Is greater than that of any proceed ing year nnd there will not bo much time to spare between the time of making the award and the close of the exhibition. C. J. Skuso Is the solitary representative of Boyd county on the ground. Ho picked up some potatoes , grasses cabbage , wheat and corn nt two days' nollco and now makes n displnv which Is really remarkable markablo This county is thn youngest in the atato nnd Skuso has styled it the "Baby county. " This ho has symbolized In a small rubber babv , which ho has placed in a prom inent position in the exhibit. Mr. SKUSO says that the exhibit re.illv docs not do justice to the county , bin was the best bo could get nt short notice. Ho announces that there may bo secured free land in Iho county und is otherwise well advertising the placo. Talk ol'u Texas Man. Ex-Governor H. B. Hubbard of Texas nr- rived on the grounds In tno afternoon. Ho was accompanied by W. B. Slosson. director und manager of the Texas car exhibit. The cars in which they rode contain .samples of ho products and resources of the state of Texas. They were sldotrjckod near the Missouri Pacific depot in town , nnd were visited by a largo number of people. Ex-Govornor Hubbard was introduced by ex-Governor Furnas to n largo audience which had assembled outside headquar ters , and made on eloquent address. Ho explained the object of his coming as nlso that of the Texan train , which in brief was lo show how Texas had advanced in material prosperity and had developed her resources In recent years , and to remove the stigma which had attached to her as the "raw head aud bloody bones" of the repub lic. Ho was glad to sco Nebraska recognized the principle * of advertising her resources and that her business men were contemplat ing the sending of n similnr train to tlio far cast to Maine , Now York and along tbo Canadian llho. Ho assured them they would llud hundreds of .thousands who wonld.-look with Interest upon their grain , Hour "and other products. Ho wished to bid them God speed in their work. His trip was not n crusade was not nn endeavor lo induce Nebraskans to leave Nebraska , but if for any reason they should bo compelled to leave this state then for God Almlebty's suko go to Texas. Ho then spoke on Iho unanimity of the people plo of Texas with these of the north , on all questions of both economy nnd brotherhood , and held that the republic would never bo dissolved while the sun shone or the rivers rolled onward to the sea. lie then averted to tbo great resources , the great development nnd the great prospects of Texas. His masterly address was heartily applauded. Knriiiors' Viows. N. II. Vandorvontcr , Stella Wo have no grumbling down our way over railroad charges. Wo ship both to Omaha nnd Kan sas City , though the greater part of tuo stuff goes lo Omaha because , generally , wo got batter rates thorp. Sometimes , wo find a slight advantage In shipping to Kansas City. When the Nebraska City packing houses nro running , wo send many of our hogs thcro. There are n few alliance people down our way , but they haven't boon doing much of lato. I don't think they will poll as many votes this year as thov did last year , becausb they do not seem to bo so united. C. A. Uosonfolt. Fnrnuiii Like the rest of Aho state , wo in Dawson county are some- Tlti\t backward with our corn. This Is duo to several causes too late planting , nnd the inability of the tanners to handle what they hud planted , becauao they did not have enough grain to feed their horses. For that reason , corn In some places will not nverago moro than twenty bushels to the aero , though In some other places It will roach sixty biuhcls. Considering the fact that wo have Just started in , being nowlv Bottled , Dnwsou's wheat may bo considered excellent and I think will run llfty bushels to the aero. Thcro was some kicking last voar N.l"lfluso of the railroad rates ; but , I have - e.ird none of It this year. The crop will cnnblo every fanner to pay what ho owes. A number of the mon who loft us last winter to go back to "their wives' folks" uro coming back again to live with us. Aloiuo Sherwood , Nonpareil. Give us two weeks of good weather and wo shall have what 1 call n fair crop of corn. It will not bo n largo crop , which 1 call ono that would give Bovcnty bushels to the aero. Our yield will bo about forty bushels. The wheat can't bo boat. It will run llfty-two bushels to the aero. O.its will reach uliiotr bushels. With regard to the warehouse bill , pnss-d at the Inst legislature , thcro are not ninny out our way who understand It. It has been published , but It has not boon discussed , and there is no attempt made to but it Into force or to derive any benefits from It. There are nil kinds of opinions prevailing rccardiiif- merits , nnd I question whether It ha ) any. If there Is no break In the ranks of the alii- nnco party this year they'll carry the county , nnd so far as I sco thcro Is no prospect of a break. This Is not pleasant to the politicians of either old party , but It doesn't annoy uie , because I belong to the prohibition party. Jacob Thelon. Friend. Some of our corn Is cut of danger of frost und could not be af fected If frost should come. That which was planted later , however , Is not out of danger. J. U , Smith , Columbus. There is nobody out our way troubling himself about the warehouse law , and I have rot had time to make n study of IU Our oats will nverago forty bushels to the acre. At Monroe there was nn elevator which was run by tanners , but I don't think they are running It now. I think there is a man there who is buIng for H eomimny. O , S , Woleott , Arehor , Morrlck county The heft of our people nro hard up. Two years ago wo were "hailed" out. Last year was pretty dry. Our -.mall praln is pretty fair.

A great many of our people are bocomingdU- heartened. But still , they always live In hope * . Nebraska Is a good state to live In. I have nothing to complain about. I went out there thirteen years ago. bought bonio ratlroHd land on tlmo nnd had to borrow money from tbo bank to pay for it. I have now between l.UOO and 1,100 ncrvs , seventy head of horses and colts and have paid as high as $ \ ! > 00 In a clatter for ionic of the animals , 1 am several thousand dollars behind , but 1 am not afraid. My vilock would pay It all. W. W. James , Schubort-Monoy Is plenty with our farmers and Iho crops nro pretty good. There n III not be n great deal of corn , iu the season has boon pretty wot. The county Is pretty thoroughly icltlcd up and It Is not any cuiy thing to got In there now unless vou buy out some of the old settlers. I hnvo been tboro for twonty-tlvo years.Vo were expecting n reduction of railroad rates through the legislature , but you know It didn't come. Then wo expected the rail way comml'slon would help us , but you'vo scon the letters some of the member' of that body wrote and you can toll what they mean. Joseph Wiitson , Iloatrlce Our crops are nt least 7fi per cent bettor than they were last year , but corn Is a little late. Wheat will average twenty-five bushels to the acre. Oats were somewhat damaged by the rain. The harvesting Is about over. The crop of wheat Is somewhat remarkable this year in the matter of acreage. Last year the yield did not average ten bushels to the aero. J. P. Noonan , Leo Valley , Grceley Countv Wo had a half crop last year owing to the hot wind. This year wo will have n splen did average of sixty bushels to the aero for corn and twentv-llvo bushels of wheat , The robbery in railroad rates ytlll continues , but nothing can bo done to prevent It.

I don't know whether or not thev will succeed. There nro two elevators " in Grccloy Center. Our county Is only one-fourth set tled. It can stand a great deal more. There Is some excellent land yet to bo had. Improved land can bo bought for tiO an acre , and there Is good land llftv acres Improved in n section , which can bo bought for f 10 per aero. aero.W. .

Among the subjects brought before the Trades Union concross this morning was that of the ago at which children should bo allowed to work In fac tories. The subject was an interesting ono to all present. The great majority of the delegates were In favor of raising the limit of airo ; n minority were oppoiod to It. The majority based their arguments upon humane and moral principles ; the minority claimed that raising the limit would bo the means of taking a certain portion of the dallv bread out of the mouths of many poor families , who could not afford such ti loss. The delegates were reminded that many boys und girls were , in case of sickness , the sup port of their parents and younger brothers and sisters. These arguments , however , had little weight ftgatnst the views expressed by these who sot forth. In cutting words , the ills attendant upon allowing children of tender - dor years to labor In unhealthy factories , whllo exposed to hoarlnp and seeing much that thny should neither hear nor see. Finally a motion to rnlso the ago limit to thirteen years was passed by a vote of t03 ! to Nfl. Today ono of tlio political features of the work before the congress was developed. It nroso when the question of paying members of parliament cnmo up for discussion. As Is well known , members of the British parliament receive no pay , and. consequently , it is a very dlftl- cult matter for u poor man to got Into parlia ment , and n still more diflloult matter for him to stay tboro If ho succeeds in being oloctcd. As It is , the Irish members of par liament , not being men of wealth , have boon assisted by allowances from the funds sub- .scribod i > by-rvtho well. _ , ) vlshcra.tor Ireland's prosperity , and , In tbo same way , several of the few English members of parliament elected from the working classes hnvo had to rely upon their friends for pecuniary assistance In order to enable them to give up their usual dally work to attend to the affairs of their constituents. It was announced in the congress today that this question , as well ns kindred questions , these of tbo payment of members of county courts and sehool boards , would como up prominently at the next sosslon of parlia ment , and that the willingness of a tMiiditlato for parliament at the coming general election to vote for these payments would bo made ono of the tests upon which the Trades union would decide whether or not to support such a candidate. It will thus bo seen that the labor party scorns Inclined to ignore the old political parties on the whole and to support these who will support measures advocated by the Trades' union. During the course of the business enacted by the congress today the delegates passed resolutions condemning the sub-letting of irovernmmt contracts , and holding that pub lic bodlos ought not to enter into contracts with llrms refusing to conform to the cus toms bouis and wages decreed as being just by the Trade.unions. . Later In the day Chnrlos Fonwick , M. P. , was re-elected parliamentary secretary , or secretary to the parliamentary committee of the Trades Union congress , which committee carries out the work laid out for it each year by the sessions of this labor parliament. " "Tho principle of co-oporatlon , so far as co operative stores , workshops , factories , etc. , are concerned , was freely discussed and ap proved by the delegates.

[ Special Tele gram to 'I'm ' : Bun. ] The lint reports sent out of the collision on the Union Pacific near Plckrell , ton miles north of this city , nt 8 :40 : o'clock this morning rather overdo the facts of the accident. The casualltlos consist of Fred Ortnnin and Victor Haynes , each n leg broken nnd Internal Injuries ; Conductor George Balrd of the south bound train , hurt nbout the head. The slightly Injured nro Express Messenger II. T. McKinncy , hurt about tbo bead , and Head Brnkomau G. F. Harding of tlio special northbound train , hurt about the body , Several of the pa sengers of the special re ceived slight contusions. Excepting Con ductor Balrd , all the injured were on the special. Haynes was terribly hurt nnd died from the effects of his Injuries nbout 4 o'clock this afternoon. Ortman's leg will have to come off. off.Both Both engines are n complete wreck. It vas necessary to build n temporary track around the wreck in order to permit the passage of the regular trams. The mail car and contents of the south bound train wore demolished , the tender of the engine telescoping the malt car. Tbo engineers and llromon of both trains jumped after reversing their engines. Fortunately the special , which carried eight coaches , was going at a twelve milo an hour speed nftor leaving Pickrcll on account of n drove of hogs being on the track , other wise the collision would have ocourrod on the curve a short distance north nnd the loss of life could not have been otherwise than very heavy. As It was , neither of the trains left the track. The injured were all broucht to this city and nro being cared for by the railway au thorities. The cause of the .collision was the failure of the Beatrice operator to pivo orders to Conductor O'Byrno ' of the special , the oper ator forgetting thorn until after the special had lott Pickrcll. When the news was first received in this city n vorltnblo panic ensued. Fully ono hundred Beatrice people were on the train and the anxiety to know of their Into was in- tonso. Every surgeon of the city who could bo found was sent to the scene of the wreck. Hundreds of people who were unable to go up on the wrecking train which carried the physicians , went by private conveyances. The scene at the wreck was romarkablo. The two engines were fairly welded together at tbo boiler hoads. The pilots and head lights were completely demolished and the smokestacks forced back nearly to the boll. The tenders were telescoped by the en gines nnd the baggage cars In turn were tele scoped by the tenders. The bacgago cars were forced into and partly upon the smokers. The remaining coaches were uninjured. Tlio train mon re ferred to who suffered Injury received them by jumping. It Is thought tonight that Conductor - ductor George Balrd Is moro seriously hurt than nt tirst supposed. Ho is at tbo Paddock hotel in charge of the railroad surgeons. The passengers were transferred around the wreck and taken to tboir respective destina tions early this afternoon. Successful Encampment , NnmtASKA CITV , Neb , , Sopt. 10.

It shows that for the lust two years under President Cleveland there were Issued 20.-II2 pre emption certificates , while during the last two years the number has been increased to 149,515 , showing nn Increase of l'J3,073 patents. The number of homestead patents Issued during the pist two years Is fi'J.OO'.i ' , and in crease of over -100 per cent nbovo the amount Issued under the last administration for the same period. . During the two years of the last adminis tration there were 075 timber culture patents issued and during the hut two years the number was brought up to 5,310 , , an increase of 700 per cont. = a Commissioner Carter says that In general terms the work in the mineral division of the ofllco was 50 par cent greater during the past two years than any two years ot the last administration. This administration is beat ing all records in the matter of laud patents , pension and other business. HKcr.NT AIIMV ounr.iis.

Ho denounce * ttio author of this scheme , ns well ns the plan itself , and urges the negroes to live In hurmonv with the whlto farmers , alleging the closely In terwoven Interests of the two classes as the reason In n business light , and the danger of stirring up strife , as n further Incentive to peace and quiet In all particulars. Ho says If cotton wore bringing 10 or 11 cents , a bettor price for picking could In justice bo de manded ; but that at present rates no man can pay an advance. Carothors Is n most influential man aud his warning will have great weight. Lake Hrlo ft Wimlorii Strike.

[ By Mexican C'ablo to The Herald tipcctal toTm : ilii-Just : : ] what thn pro visional government will do with the fcir.OOO.OOO of paper money Issued by the late President Balnmccda Is n question exciting general Interest here just nt prcs out , The junta do gobiorno has the matter under advisement now aurt have hold several conferences with leading merchants nnd bankers In regard to what is best to bo done. The principal banks throughout Chill remain closed pending theli ! decision. Very little other money is in cir culation. The general o * Inlon Is that it will bo impossible for the government to repudi ate It. Up to the present time this currency Is un questioned. The repudiation of Halmaceda't notes would have the most serious effect on commerce and all banking InstitutionIt is rumored that the banks will bo hold respon sible for tlio amounts which they now have In their vaults. The basis of this rumor is that In February last the banks accepted nn issue of Sl',000,000. They hnvo now In their vaults pretty nearly as much as this aild if they are hold responsible for it , hardly a bank iu the country will bo able to continuo business. 1 hnvo on llrst rate authority , however , that It is the present intention of the junta do gobiorno to assume the responsibility for the entire amount and that they nro consider ing a plan by which it shall bo redeemed within live years and that nt the etui of that tlmo specie payments will bo resumed. While the junta may settle the matter within a few days thnro Is a possibility of their hold ing the whole matter in abeyance und allow ing the now congress to sottlo. There kcems to bo uo disposition to perse cute the ministers nnd other oillcors who served under Balmacoda. Tbo tribunal of justice Is making a rigid investigation into the actions of tho.se men. Whore the offehdors nro shown to have used publio money their property will bo confiscated to pay for their speculations , nnd In some cases , where ofllcors have been guilty of acts of gross cruelty and persecutions of con- grussloimllsts they will bo punished to the fulles't extent of the law. Otherwise there will bo no punishment for previous opinions. Leaders of the party in power advise moderation , und probably In a month or two , after the hot blood of the young mon among the victors has had a chance to cool down , the Bnlmaccda sympa thizers will quietly leave tbo country uunio- lostod. I have ascertained tbo true Inwardness of Iho shipment of silver on tho.British , - warship ship Esplcgle. In Juno last , when the suc cess of Bnlmaccda scorned assured , tha British minister , Kennedy , became alarmed at the Influence United Sates Minister Egan appeared to have with Balmacoda and to offset this offered the Esploglo to act as a carrier for the silver. Captain St. Clair , commander of the British war ship Champion , which dressed ship and saluted the junta when It arrived hern on the steamer Aroquipa , visited Admiral Brown and the French and Gorman admirals and npol- ogi/cd. lie explained that his llr.st lieuten ant bad acted on his own responsibility nnd without nn order from or the knowledge of Captain St. Clalr- Government leaders toll mo that as soon ns the new congress meets its lirst action will bo to appeal the action of the previous congress - gross up to December , 1S90 , nnd of the unta do goblcrna since the commencement of .he revolution. The nets of Balmaccda's congress will bo repudiated. The constitu tion will bo rovlsod to the extent of merely curtailing the powers of the executive at all events and perhaps in other respects as woll. There is no likelihood that there will bo nny Increase In customs duties. The custom : iousos throughout the country nro working ns smoothly ns before Iho revolution , and t Is not anticipated that thcra will bonny further chances. Among tbo first things that will bo done will bo the [ lassngo of laws calculated to Increase Shillian influence in the province of Tnra- paea , which is now very largely under the influence of the English and Germans. It is not regarded as probable that any other legislation in regard to the state nitrate lands will bo had for the tlmo boing. Members of the diplomatic corps are taking great Interest in the reorganiza tion of the country. I have talked with nearly all the foreign ministers for manifest reasons. They object to having their names published in this connection , but I am able to give you a concensus of thelropiulons with those of [ iramlncnt stutosmon of Chill as to the con- iltlon of nffnlrs In this country. They sny the recuperative powers of Chill nro great and that under proper protec tion her agricultural and mineral re- bourcoslll bo largely and rapidly developed. Laws are necessary for tno encouragement of Immigration of an agricultural and indus trial character. Then laws for the extension of foreign trade , more particularly with tbo United States , are urgently needed. A .urgcly . Increased consumption of nitrates ami a consequent growth of natural wealth ; .s looked for. Foreign diplomats bollovo that the present dominant party tins thn best ntorosts of tlio couutry at heart , and that ; hey are In un exceptionally good position to carry out plans for the betterment of the country. Heretofore there hava been several factions , all with different views nnd different ideas ns to how to carry them out. Now the factions hnvo been , for the tlmo being , nt all events , wiped out , nnd the oongnusloiml party Is ono tiomogonous force , rocosnUlng that all mutt uulto with only the yood of Chill as a motive of their action. They must go to work to reorganize the civil , military nnd naval ser vices , ttrrango tbo llnanclnl system , bring about approved .systems of Intornrovlnclal communications nnd have a general and thorough purldcatlon of the public sorvlco. All of this will tnko time and hard and lutol. .Ik'otit work , but It is the general Impression among the forelenors that it will bo accorap- lUhiul , und that In a comparatively short tpace of time. .Not IliH-ounl/.ed. ll'.nntl.\ ( KV , Sopt. 10 , [ Now York Her- nldCnblo-Spoclal toTiiK BKK.
