The religion , government , habits of life , and , tea a great extent , the customs of men who lived 1,000 B.

It has been discovered that there la no appropriation from which to pay a disbursing agent for paying the Yankton'Sloux for the land which has been purchased by the gov ernment , and , In consequence of this fact , the friends of E. M. O'Brien of Yankton , S. D. . will have to look about them for another berth for that gentleman , who , by the way. seems to bo pursued by hard luck In the mat ter of getting a federal olllce , He was first slated tor the postmastershlp at Ynnktcn , but was turned down for Dr. Turner , and then made a try for the bank examlnershlp now held by John B. Diamond. Comptroller Eckels determined to appoint a North Da kota man , and now he Is knocked cut by the failure of congress to make , an appropriation for the payment of a disbursing agent for the purchase money of the lands of the Yankton Indians , which will probably be cponed to settlement by the presidential proclamation early next spring. The secretary of the In terlor will be obliged to appoint one of the officers already employed In the Indian bu reau , and lias had the names of several of these gentlemen before him for s-ino time. It Is probable that he will make a selection upon his return to the city , but the time for that Is not definitely known.

Sept. 13. Advices were recolved nt the Navy department from the Alaskan fleet , which bear out the Associated press dispatch regarding the unseaworthy condition of the Adams. It seems the acci dent to the vessel was so serious that It was necessary for the Yorktown to tow her from ITnalaska to Sltka , a distance of 1,000 miles. at a rate ot eight knots an hour. At Sltka repairs were made and the vessel proceeded to San Francisco , where she arrived las' ' night by. slow stages. Had she been an Iron vessel instead of wooden , she would have tieen wrecked when she ran aground. The Adams has been ordered to the Mare Island yard , but It is said to be uncertain whether she can be repaired to meet the requirements of the service. If not , she wll ho sold.

Sei > t. 13 , ( Special" The Uee. ) Over 40,000 people passed through the gates of the fair yesterday , and the officials C-ti- Inue to exult over the unequalcd success of ho show. At the races the grant ! stand was lacked , and still uo appreciable difference was undo la the crowd on the grounds. There Is one exhibit In the building where lia manufacturers and consumers exhibition s being held which Is attracting a great deal of attention. It Is a miniature- brush factory under the supervision of lr < Armstrong , su- > erlntendenl ot the Nebraska Institute for .he Feeble Minded nt Nebraska City. Secro- ory Furnas has been trying for a long tlmo to get the various state Institutions to make display at the state fair : , thinking that the army of taxpayers which comes In would thereby be given a more comfortable feeling over the appropriations. In this exhibition Dr. Armstrong has A shop equipped with the necessary machinery and four of the Inmates ot the Institution as operators. The superln- : cndent had a long ; siege with the legislature : o get an appropriation ' 'or the equipment ot tha factory , which Is now more than self- sustaining. He maintained that a gcod many of his charges could be trained to do some simple kind of work , but the board laughed at him. Finally he got hold ol some of the machinery necessary for a brush factory , and , buying the material , started up on his own responsibility. On their next visit the members if the board were convinced , and he now has twenty-three of the 191 In mates of the Institution pleasantly and profitably employed. They make every thing from scrubbing brushes to silk hat brushes , and when they leave the shop they are finished as elegantly as the products of the most extensive factories In the country. Only one of .these boys can bo trusted with Iho big shears which arc used to trim the brushes after they arc made , and for most of them It Is a triumph to be able to per- from the simplest mechanical operation , such ns the tying of a knot or threading a needle. U Is almost painful ! to witness the child-like gle ; with which one of them holds up a completed brush and waits for the superin tendent to clip It. Perhaps the best all-round display In the agricultural hall Is that made by Douglas county , which Is In charge of Mr. R. Englc- man. It Includes specimens of nearly every agricultural product of the county , and they are samples of the best on the grounds.

( Special Telegram to The Bee. ) Ths Commercial club Is making strenuous efforts to retain the state fair In Lincoln ] for another term ot flvo years. Its members have agreed to put up a band In the sum of $20.000 to Indemnify the state board from . possible loss If the fair Is left here. The town . seems to be thoroughly aroused at the threatened loss of the fair , and business men arc subscribing liberally to a fund for the purchase of fair tickets , agreeing- pay for thorn and ilvo them away to their friends anil pa'rons. Omaha is looked upon as an arch enemy for daring ( o compete for the prize and rumors are rife berating Omaha and the Inability of her people to > properly tnko care of the crowds fair week. One silly story runs to the effect that when the fair was last held there ladles and children were compelled to walk the streets at night for want of lodgings. Tlie fact that the recent Douglas county fair was not patronized by Omaha Is talked as an argument that the state fair would not be. Paid agents of the B. & M. are doing everything In their power to secure enough votes to retain the fair nt Lincoln , not because the road would profit EO much moro than It would It the fair went to Omaha , but because the officials of the road ' have adopted a policy antagonistic to Omaha , not only politically , but commer cially. "Anything to beat Omaha" Is the war cry. and , with the power and energy ot all the forces at work In behalf of Lin coln , It looks tonight as If Omaha would not be in It when the vote Is taken on reloca tion. lalln City Improvement * .

The brick work of the two new wings to the court house Is being rushed , In order to gel It finished before cold weather. Several fine farm houses are being erected. The fruit crop of this county Is all right this year , being- greater than It has been for years. Thousands of bushels of apples have been shipped out , and more to follow. The grape yield Is enormous , and large ship ments arc belni : made to various Nebraska points. Although corn is damaged In the northern part of the county to a considerable extent , the crop will average over half all over the county , and with the price double what It Is ordinarily , the farmers of this county arc nil right. Reports show some fields along the Missouri river averaging sixty bushels to the acre , while the fields In this Im mediate vicinity will average thirty bushels. The yield of wheat in this county helped the farmers out a great deal , as some are Intending to feed their Jiogs wheat Instead of corn , that Is , those That have hogs left , as the cholera has killed hundreds.
