l esteJY was the big 11Y at the state ! .
Tn sllito of almost torrId heat and drIvIng
's1n and l'ot dust that makes
' the 1ot out-of-
dor existence a burden. the WhIte City was
thronged yesterday with such a surgIng mass
of people as was never before seen on one field
In Nebraska. I thousands of people were
kcpt ) ) at home by the weather It Is .lfcult I
to Imagine how they could have made their I
way to the fair grounds had the elements I
been more propitious. The ralr01ds ! and :
motors gave the best possible service , but I
would seem that the crowds that they were
carrying today reached the limit of their
capacity. The most conservative estimate
places the crowd on the grounds at 2 o'clock
at upward of lO.OOO people and they were
lUl coming by thousands.
An engine on the Missouri Pacific ran alt
the track at West Lawn at 1 o'cloclt and
delaYC1 the traffic for thirty minutes , but
no ono was Injured. As soon a the track
was cleared extra trains were put on and a
few [ moments later the accident was Cor-
gotten.
All this after such a night ns Wednesday -
day night would bo exceptional even
In the hottest summer days a
nIght during which the air seemed
to bo literally loaded with heat and
so heavy that It required an effort to breath
The crowds that packed the motors coming
bore from the parade seemed worn out and
breathless , and If I there was a man woman
or child In Omaha who did not breathe a
prayer for rain It was because the word was
nut Incuded : In their vocabulary.
I was Impossible to sleep and people lay
' \ ow&llo and listened anxiously for the first
mutterings that might presage even the
, slightest blessing of rain. Over and over
agaIn they Imagined that the longed for
shower hal broken but It was only the
wind rutllng In momentary gusts through
the Cast yellowing leaves of Iho water mapbs.
And the long nIght .lusred wIthout even a
breath of dew to purify the air and slake
\ the thlst of the grass blades that were shrlv-
'elng wlh the best.
The morning was but the awakening oC the
night. The sunrise rivaled the noonday ,
heat In Intensity and the hot wind followed In
Its wake. I wrs such a morning as might
have been felt durIng a long summer's drouth ,
I would have been enervating then , but I
was unbearable In September. But oven thL I
could not prevent the people of Omaha and
their many viiors from shaking off thc
adolescence of the tiny and JoInIng to break
all the records of attendance at the state fair .
They started with the first gleams of day-
light and thc river of humanity contInued to t
your Into the grounds until late In the oter-
noon.Ve can't' expect to get people to I
come out In such"wcather lS this , " said I
Superintendent oC Gates Dowen. No
ono else expected , It either , but
still they Came. They vent by thousands I
. and tens of thousands and by every IU-
aglnablo means of conveyance.
WHEN 'full HUSH CmIMENCED.
At SO : a long train of curs pulled out ci [
the MlsurL Iaclfc dcpot. I was crowded , I
through all the aisles and to the verge of the I
, platforms. Twenty minutes later Inother
special started and there was no lessening In i L
tUb jostling crowd that Jammed the plat-
form When they arrived at the grounds
they found the traIns of the other roads
equally crowded , and at 9 o'clock theo were
fully 2,000 people massed In front of the west
entrance waiting to get through the gates.
I was the same story nt the east gate ,
where tl ! motors deposited their loads. The
street railway service was excellent , con
alderlng the demand on their resourccs. Thc
trains were only a few blocks apart , antI they
were loaded until not even a fly could have
found Coothold. The roofs of the cars were
packed with men and women , many of the
Inter with babies In their arms , hung to a
precarious footing on the edges of the foot -
boards. Hut th ,
lut cars moved rapidly In
spl e of their unaccustomed burdens , and the
trip to the grounds from I.'ourtcenth and
Howard streets was made In from . thirty to
forty mlnut < $ .
hut there were thousands who dill not I
avail themselves of the cars. All the carry
ails that could bo found In the city , and
sunny which \ ere improvised for the occa
I10n , Were buy carrying people out. Fain -
ly carriages and vehicles of every descrlp :
ton : were J1cllC away In the carriage stan
by thousands until the regular pace was
fled with them long before noon. Every
one who had I bicycle used I , and at least
.000 wont awheel. There were jnore than
3eOOO people OR the grounds lt 10 o'clock. :
and an hour later the crowd was bigger than
at any thins during the pre.eding days. I t
was the general opinion that IC there had
been a good shower during the night , 01'
H the wInd and sun had been less disagreeable -
ble , fully 75,000 peopll would have been
mobized at the Krounls. ! and many more
would have been compelled ! to turn back because -
cause they could not get thcre.
UuL Insille the ground , , the Jam appeared
In all its variety atiti irninctnshty. From al
directions It poured Into the common nmphl-
theater. where It pushed hustled , elbowel .1
anti eddied back aud forth until the V.lst
slopes north of the race track were so
densely populated that It seemed as though
all Nebraska must have poured In to swel

entrance waiting for I chance to push theIr

I was : fortunate that It W3 I wlnderfulY ,

corners had resigned themselves to the worst - ,
, They realized all that the dUlt and heat
would offer by way of discomfort and they :
were determined to make the best of ii .

They moved through the crowd with faces
a dirty as a street gamin's and dresses
focked flu and spotted , and were ns supremely
unconcerne1 as though they were floating
down a bal room In perfect gowns to the Inspiring -
spiring strains of the most voluptuous waltz.
There wer two features of the day , which ,
whie they were Important In themselves ,
w ere scarcely perceptible In the general bus-
te of the day. I was Woodmon's day , and
the pretty log cabin where the Woodmen
congregate was crowded all lay long with
the member of the order and their rlends.

td While the order Is of comparatively recent
date It Is very strong In Nebraska. There
are twelve big lodgas In Omaha , South Omaha
and Council luIs , anti they were all repre-
ented Alpha camp No. 1 of. Omaha hs
1,200 members , and nearly all of them were :
on hand to assist In making their guests
elcome C. 11. Malone was In charge of the
ha headquarter und later In the day he was as-
sisted by n reception committee composed oC
membrs of the local lodges.
The traveling men went out by special
train In time afternoon. Comparatively they
Vera few In numbers , but they succeeded In
having the biggest sort of a time anti their
proverbial good nature stood them In good
stead by the time they had gotten themselves
wll entangled wIth the crush.
It was at the dinner hOlr that patience
ceased to be a virtue. Some people said that
they got something to eat. How they did I
remains n mystery along with the Hoe Haas
anll other strange and wonderful things.
There Were nearly 100 restaurants on the
grounds , but they could only make a btgln-
na ir.g at feeling the crowd that surged up
against their counters. But no one took
notco of little things like that and those who
coull ct not cot contented themselves with
thinking what a big SUPPH they would have
when they got home and straightway forgot
their hunger. _ _ _ _ _

A lice reporter called on a number of [ leadIng -
Ing I exhibitors yesterday morning and secured
various expressions of opinion on this year's
state Calr. In tIm main the criticism was
favorable , but the dust and Inferior trans.
portaton facilities were generally condemned
A. C. Marshall . who has charge of the
Washington county exhibit that was awarded
first prize , said : "Tho heat has serIously
affected the condItion of the fruit , five ( lays'i
exposure of apples kept for a time In cold
storage being almost to much In
this unusual heat. The Chenango
stawberry Is time only apple that
has gone through this heated term
well. ThIs Just Is extremely disagreeable
and I think could he largely prevented next
year \ a greater area of ground Were soddell. I
The fair Is a success , but the people must bC
assured better tran portaton next year or a
consIderable number , remembering this year'a
service , will keep away next season. "
Secretary Head of the State horticultural
society said : "Wo have been grandly
) ranly
treated. Yes , wo are glad the air came here ,
as the society has received a number of new
members anti new exhibitors whom
wo coull not have secured had
tw faIr gone olsewhere. The transporta-
ton facilIties have been miserable. \\'o
cannot leave thC buIlding until G o'cloclt
and It Is usually 9 before wc reach our hotel
far supper. This has been the only drw-
back. "
Frederic \ Taylor , the genial ex-secretary
of the Horticultural society , and tlC author
of the last annual report saId : "BarrIng
the transportation and the dust , 'tho air Is an
unqualted Euccess. This society Is satIsfied
with all that has been done for It. The art
exhibit Is de3en'ln of especIal
Cxhlblt pralr ; It Is
tIme best art exhIbit I have ever seen attempted -
tempted at any state faIr. " .
L C. Chapin of the firm of Chapin Dros. ,
LIncoln , was receiving congratulations yesterday -
terday on the large number of premiums that
hIs beautiful flowers had won In speaking
to a representative of The lIce , : lr. Chapln
said : "As far as quality Is concernell this
floral display Is away ahead of anything be-
fore exhibited In Nebraska. The quantIty
would have been much greater had there
I been sufcient room Yes Indeed , the air
Is a great success , and wIll bo a greater one
next year Plans arc already being discussed
for the enlargement of Floral haIl before the
'OG taLc opons. I Is probable that a con-
necton will bo made with HortIcultural hail.
This addition wIll increase our floor space ,
and wl make one grand buIlding for the
display of flowers and fruits. "
Dr. George Roberts of Crel/hton , the win-
ncr oC first premium for the finest display oC
Cct , Mid : "I am sorry the aIr mannge-
went gave us such I small buldln . We
need a great deal more room , and hope to
have I next year. There can bo no doubt
but that time faIr Is a grand success. "
Peter Youners , the prominent fruit grower
oC Genevs snll'e : have had great crowds
In the Hortlulural building for tour days ,
but I want to say rIght here that In my f-
teen ) ears' experience at state airs I have
never seen such an orderly crowd as that
which has passed through this hal every day
durIng the week. There has been no trouble
of any kind. The full plates oC fruit show
that there could have been but little or no
plckLg of fruIt from the tables. WC must
have more room next year , and the florists
need Inore space too. These clouds of dust
are not calculate to make the visitors , who
have travele ! a long distance to see the fair
and show their loyalty , return home In a
happy frame of mind. I Is my opinion that
when the mnnagement saw that they could
not grow grass over the grounds , rye should
have been planted. This would have taken
hold and made a good close mat , whlh
would have prevented much of this dust. "

I was a grnn(1 ( reunion of the Army oC the
Tennesseeunion and confederate . The bg !
tent t , which has held many large crowd ,
never before held one greater than that of
tonight. t General Granville M. Dodge of the
Socety of the Army oC the Tennessee pre-
s ided . After music by the band and prayer ,
ho Introduced the first speaker of the even-
Ing i , General O. O. howard , of the United
Statcs arm ) In the course of his spcech
General howard began by a glowing tribute
to the great generals both blue and gray ,
who particIpated In the bate of Chicka-
mauga , and continuing , ho told of the heroIc
American volunteer and the things ho saw
anl experIenced : of the scaling of Lookout
mountain and the bate above the clouds :
o f the welcome news of L o's surrender , of
1.lncoln's assassination and the return home
o f the battle scarred voterans. After this
ho began to speak of the present , skipping
the lapse of thirty years. He then descrbe !
the grIzzled anti gray veteran as ho appears
t oday ; ho told of the pathetic scenes ho had
witnessed at reunions , where veterans of
both sides were present. The war was a
necessity : nothing human could have warded
I i oft. Slavery caused it.
In concluding , ho said , In part : "It Is
comIng ! Into my heart , this year , as It came
Into i the heart of General ! Grant near the
cosc : of his lIfe , to speak entIrely kInd l words ,
lest l wo might Injure the manhood of the
noblest mel of the south God alone adjusts

derstood this ; t.ey have tested the promlsC
Hundreds of thousands of comrades have
gone on beorC. Let us . too , have the sao
shield , bright and glIstening as Christ can
make I. whel we Join them there. "
When General Howard had finished and the
applause had ceased there was music by the
b.ld. and then General Joseph Wheeler of
Alabama spole. General Wheeler's address
was a very concise history of the war . amid In
conclusion he gave statistics , comparIng the
princIpal battles of the civIl war with thod
, of Europau nations . showing the number oC
men engaged and the proportion of them
who were killed and wounded.
TAKI PEACE FOI GHANTED.
General Wiard Warner oC Chattanooga
was the next who addressed the gatheritig.
Generl Warner said In part : "Nearly a
generation has passed since we fought our
last l fight . Our battles have since been fought
over and over again , until they have doubt-
less l become wearisome to the publc , Our
part In the great drama of war has been
acted , the curtain fell on us thirty ) 'eas :
ago and we passed to the Judgment of the
world and hlslory. I Is now about time
that wo ceased talkIng on the bloody chasm
and should take peace and reconcIliation for
granted "
In conclusIon General Warner spoke hope-
fully of the future. lie predicted shorter
hours oC labor greater wages and happiness
everywhere.
When General Warner lied finished Rov.
Father Sherman was Introduced. Ito said
that he felt that he had some claim upon
the old sellers , owing to the chose ' conncc-
ton they had with his father. lie then pall
a glowing tribute to time men who hall fought
with his father " [ rom Atlanta to the sea "
When ho had finished the meeting adjourned.
Colonel Fred Grant , who was expected to
follow Father Sherman , was not able to be
l1resent.
As Governor Uphnm was riding up Lookout
Mountain this afternoon the horses attached
to his carrIage became frightened , and as
ho was attempting to get out to hol ! them
ho fell and broke the small bone below his
rIght kneo. lie was at once taken to Look-

The cruiser left Fort Dnrcastequl nt mid-
night with Admiral Delgalln lareJo on board.
On reaching the mouth of the harbor , close
cose
to t Fort More , the larcastequl came In col-
lsion l with the Mortera a steamer engaged
In i the coastwise trade. The Iortera struck
the cruiser on the starboard , and to bally
Injurell It I her that alma sank at once. The Mor-
t era , although badly damaged , stood off to
give assistance to those on board the liar-
castcqui and with her boats saved the greater
part of the crelv. Admiral Parejo , CaptaIn

Admiral ! Iarejo was commander of
the Spanish naval forces In Cub1. He arrived -
rived on the Islam ! on June 17 , from Spain.
DIvers are examIning the huh . Captain
Vinal of the steamer Mort r. In the course
of In Interview today , said that nt 1:15 :
o'clock last night . when within two miles of
the entrance of the harbor , he saw nhead on
his starboard a green light , which he prc-
sumed was that of a steamer leaving port.
"I ordered the engineer to slow down " said
CaptaIn Vlnal "and proceeded on our course ,
hearing two whistles from the cruiser , to
which we replied. Turing Into the harbor
and keeping In sight on our starboard the
green light of the cruiser' we whistled twice
agaIn , thus indicating that wo were turning
Into thC harbor , when sUddenly all of time
lights of the criser were put out. I ImmediatelY -
mediatelY ordered the engIneer to steam
backwards , but I was of nc a\'al , for the
steamers collided . I ordered boats to be
lowered antI life preservers to bo thrown
overbonfl After time collisIon we were en-
tangled with the Iarcastequl for a tIme ,
but this sItuatIon endangered the Iortera as
as wel as the cruiser and r ordered the en-
gines to go ahead , my atenlon being to try
to run Iacastequl ashore I soon found ,
however , that this could net bo done with
safety to Mortem Backlog oft from the
cruiser , she sank almost lnstaatly. "
Admiral Delgdo Iarejo was the last man
to leave the cruiser , being Uel ! oft In a row
boat. Tie total loss of lIfe Is now set nt
CortY-Elx When the row bet , In which was
Admiral Delgado Iarejo , was about to start
