LINCOLN , Juno 12. [ Special toTnn nsn. ]
Judge Tibbctts is engaged this afternoon in
hearing the Turner will case , which has
burdened the court dockets for the past
three years. It is an action brought to es
tablish nnd probate the alleged last will nnd
testament of Dr. J. J. Turner , formerly n
well-to-do physician , the will bequeathing
the greater part of his estate , valued at JS.V
000 , to the board of frcedmen nnd the board
of foreign missions of the Presbyterian
church of America. His two sons , William
J. Turner nnd Uobort M. Turner , both
wealthy citizens of Lincoln , took possession
of his property , nnd after waiting for some
time the executors under the will , who were
also the witnesses , bosun action to establish
the will , a copy of which was submitted for
probate. '
The sons deny the existence of any such
will nnd say that their father was in the
habit of making numerous wills nnd soon
after destroying them. The executors , however -
over , tell a somewhat startling story. They
say that after hn had prepared , signed nnd
executed the will ho placed It in a valise ,
looked It nnd hung It up in n closet. After
his death his aped housekeeper took the
valise and was In the act of starting out for
Executor Clark's house with it , when she
was called back by W. .T. Turner , who forbade -
bade her taking any of bis father's effects
away from the houso. Turner took It to his
own house , from which It was subsequently
stolen by some person or persons unknown
nnd lost or destroyed. The house of Turner
was ostensibly broken Into ono night , the
valise , or hand satchel rather , was out open
with a knife nnd the contents strewn nil
over the stairway , while Jewelry nnd
watches were missing.

Wonui's F.VIH GKOUNUS , CiiiCAOO , Juno
t ! . [ Special to Tun Bin. : ] The Nebraska
state display in tbo Agricultural buildlnc is
deserving of much praise , the nrrango-
ments of the grain and sugar being both
novel and handsome , nnu very prettily deco
rated. The display In the Forestry building ,
though line , is rather misleading , for from it
alone a stranger would infer Nebraska to bo
a heavily wooded country. But the unfavor
able comments culled forth by the limited ,
not to say poverty-stricken appearance of
the Nebraska State building Is enough
to make a loyal -Nobraskan blusn.
It is small wonder that Hon. J ,
Sterling Morton expressed considerable
disappointment nt the meager showing of
the exhibit. The location of the Nebraska
building Is fine , facing the Fifty-seventh
street entrance boulevard and overlooking
the ICquiwnu village , The structure , while
not pretentious , presents a neat nnu attrac
tive exterior. Our guldo hook Informs us
that the building is live stories high , but up
to date wo have failed to discover more than
two. On entering the wide portals of the
main door the llrst impression Is anything
but pleasing. On the main lloor some line
specimens of grain are shown , ns products of
the yarious counties , also many designs
In corn , The display of Douglas
county Is microscopical. On thu upper
lloor the ladles' reception rooms are
neat and comfortable. Quite a
largo space In the main room on the second
lloor Is occupied by nn Indian tepco and vari
ous trophies of Indian warfare. On cither
side of the wigwam stands a native buffalo ,
whoso lifelike attitude U almost startling ,
and for a moment one draws bnoli with In
stinctive fear of the llcrco glare of the glassy
eyes ,
The art display Is amazingly small , but the
paintings of Mrs , Francis Mumnugh deserve
honorable mention , also a painting repre
senting some apples. Thu artist's name I
was unable to learn , but the tainting is re
markably good , much bolter than a number
to bo been in thu United Status exhibit.
Master iliggons , son of Judge lilggcns of
Columbus , shows several drawings of re
markable skill for cue so young ,
Experience is a dear teacher and the state
of Nebraska can hardly afford to lose the
opportunity to inuku u Hue exhibit of hot
products und Industries. Kven an Inex.
pensive though skillful draping of bunting
iu our national colors would greatly relieve
the barren aspect of the walls of the flrst
lloor and entrance hall. As fur as I can lean :
all exhibits are In place , Something should
bo done to 1 in prove our Nebraska exhibit
that strangers who visit thu display latoi
on may not bo so deeply impressed with the
idea that Nebraska Is one of the poorest
states in the union ,
The State building of North Dakota doe :
not contain uny more solid display , yet the
arrangement of grasses and grain is so mucl
more attractive ns to throw Nebraska In thf >
shade , nnd Knnsns , by her tnxldcrmal ex
hibit , knocks Nebraska all out. Hut ono
wonders why In the naiho of ponce nnd nulot
the Kansas management desires to niivcr-
tlsp the Santa Fo route nnd run n miniature
train of cars over lllb heads of spectator * ,
for the llltlo cars keep up such n olnttcr and
rattling It is quite distracting.
Many outsiders are ot the opinion that the
Columbian exhibition Is Tar from being com
plcto. This is true tally of minor details.
The fair is practically finished , and there Is
now so much on exhibition that It will
take nn Individual months of system
atic sightscclnir td i see all now ready.
Thcro is n class , of people ever
ready to disparage public displays
nna the opinion of such Is not worth a phi.
The fair Is and will bo n grand nnd brilliant
success , nnd Kate Field has well named It
"Tho Eighth Wonder. " No Intelligent per
son can nffora to miss It. Many , perhaps ,
from pressure of personal or business In
terests may bo compelled to remain away ,
lint to such the hope is quite reasonable
that this colossal show will not close Its
gates to visitors for at least another year.
Many ciiquirlcs are made by people con
templating a visit to the White City as to
suitable quarters. Hooms on the European
plan are certainly the most desirable , nud
there nro hundreds of those now unoccupied.
Nearly every other house In Chicago and
suburbs displays tbo sign , "Furnished
Hooms. " The prices of these In the main
are simply outrageous , but before tbrco
weeks more they will bo lower or remain
empty. Sensible people , though their purses
may bo well lined , nro not going to pay the
prlco of a whole building , in order to occupy
ono suite of rooms.
Another question I want to answer. ' be
cause I hoar it asked so often by the ladles ,
"What Is the most suitable gown to ho worn
while visiting the fair grounds I" Observa
tion nnd experience would suggest n dark
colored serviceable wool skirt of line texture
nnd warranted not to wrinkle for what docs
look more dowdy thiJU a wrinkled gown ?
Accompanying this a'waist of wash silk for
warm afternoons and a ciipa or jacket to
mutch the sltirt in color , to bo worn In the
cool evening when the wearer wishes to
remain on the fair grounds to witness the
Illuminations , for the lake breeze blows very
cool In the evening. Nearly all the ladles I
have mot on the grounds are neatly though
quietly attired , and It Is n fact that they , for
the most part , seem to belong to the best
class of society nnd ono comes in contact
with few , if any , objectionable people.
An Omaha physician , an eminent specialist ,
belonging to the faculty of a medical college
in that city , unwittingly played a practical
joke on himself. Ho arrived In Chicago
on Sunday , having traveled the latter
part of the Journey in the smoking car ,
his cranium more protected than orim-
montcd by a cunning little smoking cap. As
the train pulled Into Chicago ho Icokcd
around for his elegant silk tile , and it
dawned upon his senses that the same ttlo
had boon forgotten in the dining car , which ,
unfortunately for him , had been switched off
many miles distant. Now , thoughriMio
saloons of Chicago are open day and night ,
and Sunday , also , lint stores are not. Hence
our distinguished townsman was compelled
to wander around all day la the little black
smoking cap. GHACE HIKES.

As will bo soon from , tbo statements below ,
the bank has abundant assets to
meet all its liabilities in the duo
course of time , T Its funds being
loaned principally on' real estate securi
ties , upon which it 'could not realize ns
promptly as desired. ,
William Lv McCaguo , president ot the em
barrassed bank , expressed himself us follows
to"a Bcu reporter last evening :
' 'The withdrawal of deposits has been ex
tensive during the lasl few weeks , amount
ing to nbout $05,000. With the present
stringency in monetary affairs It Ims been
impossible to obtain money to any great ex
tent ou the securities , which are mostly llrst
mortgages on Omaha real estate.
"The bank has been carrying , as a usual
thing , between lOnnd 15 per cent of avail
able cash resources , while the requirements
of the state only make it necessary for sav-
'ngs banks to carry G per cent.
"This withdrawal of deposits continued
so , that finding ourselves confronted today
with a shortage hi cash , by the advice of the
state bank examiner wo closed the aoors.
Depositors will bo paid in full as rap-
'dly as the state authorities can real
ize from the collections or sale
of securities. The assets are : mortgage
loans , $253,000 ; collateral loans , § 71,000 ;
stocks and bonds , 94,000 ; warrants ( city ,
county , etc. ) , ? fi,000 ; real estate , $13,000 ,
which with cash and other securities , mak-
'ng a total of $477,000. Deposits are 120,000. "
When asked if the embarrassment of the
savings bank would In nny manner affect the
American National bank , Mr. Mc.Caguesald :
"No , as the American National bank did
not discount anything for the McCaguo Sav
ings bank , nnd the organizations , although
in the same building , are separate and dis
tinct in every particular.
John L. McCJague , vice president of the
suspended bank and also president of the
American National bank , in speaking about
the situation last evening , said that the
suspension was duo solely to an inability
to roall/.o on securities. Ho fixed the
liabilities lit $400,000 , and estimated the as
sets of the bunk at from $100,001) ) to ft7r ,0)0. ( )
Ho stated positively tnat the depositors
would be paid in full. When asked whether
or not the American National would bo af
fected by the suspension of the McCague
Savings bank , ho replied , "I certainly can
not see why it should. "
Bradstreet's agtttcy yesterday sent out the
following statement regarding the closing of
the McCaguo Savings bank ;
"This bank closed its doors this afternoon
nnd went into the hands of the state
bank authorities. A meeting of the
Omatm Clearing house officials was
hold today and ns an investigation of the
assets of the bunk did not show that they
were In condition to bo cashed , being mainly
real estate loans and Items running on ' long
time , the clearing homo declined to re'ndor
any assistance. Wo are Informed that the
closing of this bank docs not , of
necessity , affect the American National
unless It should create a moder
ate run on that bank , but In the
event of such a run It U'sald that the local
clearing uouso would aland by the American
National. A full statement of the nssets
nnd liabilities will follow. McCaguo Bros. ,
the principal owners , jaro also engaged in
the real estate business , and their affairs
are said to be quite largely extended , al
though full particulars cannot bo u-lvcu to
night. "
Cooit & Whltby's circus attracted a largo
crowd of ovorhoatey , amusement-seeking
persons yesterday afternoon , The show Is
up to the usual standard , ot its class. The
menagerie and side show features are well
worth sooinsr , Thd" r bareback riding ,
tumbling , acrobatic -feats , bluyclo riding
and serial performances are features which
no ono who enjoys the great
American circus should miss , liy far the
best part of the ahoMvlt may bo truthfully
stated , Is tlio performance of the Japs ,
Tlio Japanese are noted us jugglers and
acrobats in every line of the business , but
the troupe of performers with Cook & -
Whltby U composed of artists who are with
out superiors anywhere.
All that was nuo'lcd ' to convince any ono
tlmt tbo circus was all that could bo desired
in its way , was to stand near the exit to
Twentieth street and hoar the remarks
mado.by those who attended. That every
body was satisfied is more than evident.
