LINCOLN , Sept. 10. ( Special to The Bee. )
When llic tired clerks In the office of. the
secretary of Hie state fair laid down their
lions at 11 o'clock Saturday night they ttlll
liad 10,000 iUlrica to lie taken care of and
tills , In spite at tlio fact tint since the rush
began the ufllre torco has been doubled , All
day Sunday they were still at work , and It
was noon tadiy before they could BED any
hopes of getting their work cleared up. The
quantity of exhibits which has come ( rain all
portions of the ? Kioto and from the surroundIng -
Ing states Is simply enormous , and the great
illinculty now la to ilnd a place to put It all.
Every department , with the exception of
that of live stock , Is overflowing and exhibi
tors who In former yean found no difficulty
In getting comCortablo locations In any of the
buildings , arc tills year compelled to put up
with the accommodations of the tents.
At the grounda yesterday the scene was
an animated nml Interesting one. Just In
side the gale' , where the speed horses are
Mailed , the grooms and jockeys were putting
the finishing touches to their favorites or
lying about In the sun Idly gossiping- with
cuch other on the events of the coming week.
A little further on the secretary's office was
found , besieged with a motley crowd of ex
hibitors , privilege men , horsemen and pasa
hunters , all nsldng attention at the same
time. From the building to the right came
the deafening chorus of the poultry exhibit ,
which Includes the largest collection of fancy
fowl ever Rot together In Nebraska. Here
tofore the space In thla building has been
more than nilllclent , but this year the crates
are piled up almost to the celling , and uver
nearly all of the Itoor space. A little further
on could ! > - heard the neighing of the horsci
In the paddock , where a magnificent shoving
of PerclieruiiR and Clydesdales was taking Its
dally exercise. Awny over to the right was
another chorus , still more discordant , with
the Poland Chinas and the Berkshire ? as the
performers , and It they < lo not succeed In
dro\Milnc all other sounds on the grounds
it Is not for the lack of an honest effort.
There are hundreds of them and they all
have good lolces.
JN TUB MACHINE DEPATtTMHNT.
Then there are the traction engines and
the stationary engines , with all varieties
of farm machinery to- add to the din , to say
nothing of the hucksters and the side-show
men , with their stentorian voices. Prom
all this Is something of a relief after a
while to step Into one of the buildings where
It Is comparatively qulot. The agricultural
building until noon today was still In a
somewhat chaotic state , but full of promise
of a glorious future ,
The Douglns county display had Just ar
rived and Its managers were filled with grief
that their space was so limited , for they
brought with them the cream of the Douglas
county fair , mid that of Itself Is by no means
U email thing. The central object hero Is
the Kansas state exhibit In the form of a
giant pyramid , reaching clear up Into the
dome of the building and beautifully deco
rated with the grasses , grains and fruits of
that state. All the counties of the state have
been vicing with each other In the artistic
arrangement of their displays , and the effect
li ono of great beauty.
A treat to eyes and nostrils awaits the
visitor to the delightfully cool corridors of
the hortlctiUiir.il building ! and wltlr the treat
lie gets a revelation of the fruit and flower
producing qualities of the soil of the > state
of Nebraska. The building Is In the form of
cross , with a large fountain playing In the
center. The mingled sweetness of the fruits
and ( lowers , the music of the fountain and
the beauty of the exhibit make this buildIng -
Ing the moat attractive ot any. From the
'cmntnln one looks down , on one side , a lonr ;
avenue of dark green follago bespangled with
blossoms of all tha hues of the rainbow and
arched over with the meeting arms of grace
ful palm leaved plants ; on the other , down a
similar avenue , decorated with the fruit pro
ducts of the state , the most noticeable feature
of which Is the display of apples. There are
pyramids , domes , minarets , towers and pal
[ A * aces with Rtnrry banners all made ot the
rosy red , golden and green apples grown In
tha state.
MERCANTILE EXHIBIT.
In the mercantile building the visitor nnds
a miniature of the Omaha Merchants and
Manufacturers exposition , and here the card
collecting visitors will bo supplied and the
Investigating visitor will get an Inkling of
what the manufacturers cf the state are
doing. The corridors of the building are
gradually filling up , and when all the ex
hibits are In their places the building wli :
bo far from the least attractive on the
grounds. Then comes the art building ,
where the ladles will spend mcst of their
time , On one aide Is a. wilderness of crazy
quilts , crazy pillows , lace work and all the
laboriously ccnstruc'ej knick-knacks am"
jtmcracks which masculine humanity never
did anil never will understand. On the other
nro the pictures water colors , oils , pastels
pencil and pen drawing In endless profusion
Tier after tier they extend up to the celling
and the surplus Is stacked up In the corners
anil wherever else space can ha found , When
the big crowd arrives , and that will probably
not bo until Tuesday , the ladles who hive
the building tr chargd hope to have every
thing la shape , and a most Interesting dis
play they will have.
This completes the round of the principal
buildings , but by no means covers tha big
fair. There Is the fisheries buildings , where
the slate fishery department has a display
which will detain the crowd for a pleasant
half hour ; the dairy exhibit ; the farm ma
chinery department , the bench show , the har
ness and carriage display , and last , a walk
around tha stock pens -with a glance at the
cattle , sheep and horses.
All thla [ a the fair , but It would be a poor
excuse for a fair If there' were lacking- the
wilderness of tents with flaring- banners set
ting forth the wonders to bo seen on the In
side the petrified northlander , the Indian
countess and papoose , the museum of anat
omy , the wild men , the. giant cow , the per
forming pig , and the hundred and one other
wonders which only get together when there
la a big fair. All the churches of the city
liavo refreshment stands , and , judging from
the number of fruit stands , lemonade and
elder dispensaries , candy stands and the like ,
It Is going to bo the hungriest and thirstiest
crowd thnt ever attended a fair anywhere.
The. rain which fell yesterday has put the
track In the best of condition for the races ,
and , as nearly all the horses entered for tha
various events arc hero , It Is expected that
there will bo some good sport for Ihe lovers
of the turf. There are to bo four events
each day of the- week until Saturday , and a
long list of good horses IB entered for each
event. For tomorrow the program Is as fol

C1IAIU.13S C. PAHMELE , Hecelver.
Early thla morning the stockholders of the
bank 1 went before Judge Chnpman and asked
that i the bank he closed and that Mr. Charles
C < , I'a rm el e he appointed receiver. Tlio
Judge j Issued the order as asked for. The
causa uf the failure Is supposed to be In
ability to realize on Berurltles. The stock
holders are mostly wealthy men. W. H :
Gushing , a brother of H. C. Gushing , ei-
mnyor of Omalia , was president of the bank.
A statement ot the condition of the bank
was furnished by Its president. It Is ns
follows : Liabilities Certificates of deposit.
$53,25S.tiS , subject to died : . $14.552.82 ; bills

paper , which Is rated partly worthless and
slow but good , another class of $30,000 In
notes of one to tour years but good , and
about Jsri.OOO In customers' ' notes put up as
collateral for bills payable. There 1ms been
a dropping [ iff of ut least $20,000 In deposits
In the last sixteen months on account of
the county and city money being with
drawn. Tlie bank has been established about
ten years , and has paid about U3 per cent to
the slockhoMcrs. The statutory liabilities
ot tlio stockholders amount to $150,000 , but
all are wealthy men and able to pay their
share.
The failure will not effect any of the bus
iness houses of Die city , as tlio stockholders
say they \vlll stand to the amount of their
deposits. The receiver of the bank Is one In
whom every one has perfect confidence , hav
ing been In the banking business for years ,
and depositors and stockholders alike feel
Unit their interests will be taken care of In
an honest and clllclcnt manner. It is ru
mored that the bank will bs opened again

LINCOLN , Sept. 10. ( Special to Tha
BeeO The depositors who have their money
yet tied up In the defunct Nebraska Savings
bank are feeling not a little anxious over
the failure of receiving at least a small per
cent oC their savings. The bank closed Us
doors a year ago last July , and , although
fifteen months have elapsed , no dividend has
as yet been declared. The committee which
was appointed and empowered to take any
steps to hasten a settlement has not sue-
'
'ceeded In obtaining anything of a substan
tial nature for those they represent. A let
ter signed by J. II. Octzel. chairman of the
committee , K. Sister , J. W. Francis , L. II.
Morgan and T. S. Allen h.is been sent abroad
to depositors , outlining the work that has
been accomplished during Us existence. The
members ot the committee ask the co |
operation of the depositors in securing legal
talent and hiring an expert accountant.
This will require ready cash , and each one
Is requested to pay a small per cent of the i
sum he has on deposit. Since the receiver
of the bank has accepted the position ot
chairman ot the republican state cammltteo
the depositors are getting more and more
anxious , as they think It requires about all
the receiver's time to look after their In
terests.
The Indications for a monster parade to
morrow evening are becoming more pro
pitious every hour , the occasion being a
grand republican ratification. The proces
sion will form at 7 o'clock at Ninth and It

in the line assigned.
The committee of arrangements for the
parade tomorrow night completed ita work
this evening. Communications In answer to
correspondence Indicate that tlio parade will I i
bo the largest ever held In tha state. In
the line of march there will be fifty-eight I
inarching columns and twenty-four bands.
In advance of the parade will bo the speakers
of the day , the state officers and the various
county and central commlUc-emen.

been ably attended to and the hypothecated
securities have been released. The three
great estates , the Palo- Alto , Grlndley and
Vinu ranches , 8,000 , 1,700 and 0,000 acres
respectively , on which Senator Stanford
lavished expense and experiments , have been
put on a stilctly business basis. Mrs.
Stanford has now leased all of these proper
ties In parcels , with the exception of the
vineyard and stock farms , and the land
necessary for their maintenance and the
brandy at Vina , ot which Senator Stanford
never sold a gallon , is still going to Europe
and clsewjiere in Immense quantities.
The estate is nearly ready for distribution ,
except for three claims that are pending.
Ono Is a suit for $75,000 , Involving a horse ,
which la pending on appeal , and another Is
a suit for J7.000. brought recently by a
Palto Alto bookseller , wbo asserts some sort
of a contract about supplying books to tao
university. The other claim Is the $15,000-
OOi ) claim against the Stanford estate which
Attorney General Olney has presented on
behalf of the government on Mrs. Stanford
as executrix.
This is an annoyance to Mrs. Stanford ,
because so long as It Is unsettled It will pre
vent her from spending a dollar of the
estate in behalf of the university. This
claim the executrix has repudiated. The
estate will bo tied up as lone as the claim
is pending. The Stanford attorneys are
doing what they can to expedite a settle'
menu They are urging.Attorney Oenora' ' .
Olrey to begin and push 'hU suit , and hare
salJ that they would waive all objections
bated on technicalities which might other
wise delay a trial of the issue on Ita merits
for years and until the claim Is fully due.
nut a small portion of the- alleged Indebt
odnefs will fall duo In January , 1895 , when
the first of the mortgage bonds are payable
The rest fall duo In several Huccesslvo
years thereafter. It has been a question
with Mr. Olncy as to tils power to bring
suit before the whole indebtedness is duo.
The estate of which she Is executrix vtta
appraised at tl7.OftO.000. This Includes the
bequest of $2.500,000 lo the university and
that of $300,000 lo Thomas Stanford uf
Australia , which has been turned over lethe
the university by Mr. Stanford. The uni
versity can get nothing from these bequests
until distribution Is made- .
As soon aft distribution Is effected the
Stanford university will at once have added
to Ita available fund the Interest on $17,009-
ooo. U will from that time have prac
tically the Income , ot the entire Stanford
fortune , which In times of ordinary pros
perity would exceed , It la stated by good
authority , $1,500,000 a year. Ita Income will
b ? thrco times that ol Harvard , the richest
of American universities , and greater than
that ot the University of Berlin.
