There Is but little over a month left In
which to prepare for the Nebraska state
fair and most of the arranp'inonts for the
big show have been completed. The fair
will begin Thursday , August 27 and con
tinue to September D. The success of last
year has aroused a largely Increased Inter
est through the state nnd with the ex
perience of the previous year to profit by
It la expected that this year's show will
bo far better than any fair ever been In
Nebraska.
The arrangements for railroad rates have
been practically completed. The railroads
will mnko nn open rate of one faro for
the round trip with. 50 cents added for ad-
jntsslon to the grounds. This rate will ap
ply to all points In Nebraska and to sta
tions In Iowa 100 miles cast of the Missouri.
The tickets will bo sold August 31 to Sep
tember 5 Inclusive , nnd will bo good for
return on or before September 6. All freight
from Nebraska points will be shipped to
the fair nt tariff rales , except specimen
fruit , grain nnd vegetables , which will be
billed free. On presentation to the agent
nt Omaha of a certificate from the secre
tary of the fair that the goods have actu
ally been on exhibition and have not
changed ownership they will bo returned
free , and on presentation of the same cer
tificate to the ngent at the station from
which the goods were shipped the prepaid
charges will be refunded , providing that
nil the articles shipped are returned. From
points outside of Nebraska the usual half
rates will bo given. Thcro will be no
switching charges to exhibitors from the
main lines to the fair grounds. Last year ,
through some misunderstanding , some ex
hibitors were charged by the railroads for
switching , but the amount was refunded
In each caao and the same mistake will not
occur again.
The managers emphatically declare that
there will bo no repetition of the falling
down lu passenger transportation to and
from the fair grounds , that was such a
drawback last year. The street railway
company has provided sufficient power to
run trains successfully on a two-minute
schedule and the Missouri 1'aclflc and Union
Pacific roads have arranged to make their
facilities equal to any possible demand.
The music at the fair grounds will he
oven more enjoyable than last year. The
management has secured three first-class
bands , which will be In continual attend
ance. The Norfolk Military band nnd the
Third regiment band of the Uniform Rank
Knights of I'ythlas , of Arapahoe , were en
gaged some time ago , mid recently the man
agement hns closed n contract with the
famous Nebraska Brigade band of McCook
of twenty-seven pieces. The instruments of
this band are valued at $2,000 and It ranks
ns one of the best band organizations ii
the west.
Tuesday , September 1 , has been set aside
DS pioneers' day , and the Nebraska I'lo-
licer association will hold Us annual ses
sion on the grounds on that dute. The ad
dress of the day will bo delivered by Hon
Charles II. Sloan of Geneva , Neb. , who
will be remembered as the progenitor of
the "Tree Plants" .bill which was passed
'at the lust session of the legislature.
One of the new features which will be
Inaugurated this year will be a series o
lectures on "Household Economics. " These
will be given in the forenoon and after
noon during five days of the fair. The
speakers will be Mrs. Mary M. 1'ugh and
Mrs , Harriet Mc.Murphy , and each lecture
will be accompanied by practical demonstra
tions that will be of especial interest to
housewives and to those who aspire to become -
como housewives on some future date.
Among the subjects will be : "Sanitation

T. W. C. A. CAMP , LAKE GENEVA. WIs. ,
illy 9. To the Editor of The IJco : A cool
ave 1ms struck Lake Geneva , and I am
lad to write this morning In what Is called
iio "Hlg Tent , " where are domiciled the
elegntes from Kansas , Missouri , South Da-
ota and Nebraska , about forty In all. The
pen air gymnasium was utilized as a foun-
atlon for this tent , and up among the
afters , near our department , Is a nest of
Ittle birds. After a row on the lake before
ireakfast , we listen to their demand for
omcthlng to cat with genuine sympathy.
Our camp Is still resplendent with the
lorlous red , white and blue , for wo ccle-
rated right royally , even In the seclusion
f Lake Geneva. The athletic committee led
a delegation which roused everybody at an
arly hour , and soon the songs , bells and
ells spread from tent to tent all over the
'amp. ' The morning study hours were ob-
icrvcil , but in the afternoon we ad-
ourncd to the tennis court for the field
ports. The Fresh Air children from Holl-
lay Homo visited our camp cnmaKBc and
oo 1ml on In open-eyed wonder to see grown
up people play just as they did. We had
aces of all sorts , forward , backward and
hrce legged , a slow bicycle race , running ,
ilgh jumps and a cake walk by some queer
iconic from Iowa , basket ball and a pulling
ontest between state and city secretaries.
The last named resulted In a tic. Of course
mr sympathy was with the city secretaries
and we are very auro that If all had pulled
as Miss Cady did the city secretaries would
lave won.
Life hero Is delightfully Informal , There
s enough of routine to bo healthful , coupled
vlth the greatest freedom. The devotional
exercises from 8:30 : to 9 a. m. are conducted
by Mrs. Grace Whitney Evans of Detroit ,
and arc full of practical help for everyday
"Ivlng. The hour following Is devoted to col-
cge and city conferences , which arc espe
cially helpful because of their valuable sug
gestions for practical work , Probably the
nest popular classes of the morning arc
i'rof. White's bible class and the closing
lour of the morning's session occupied by
Miss Ellle K. Price , International general
secretary of the Young Women's Christian
association , In talks upon the association
and Its work.
REST AND RECREATIONS.
The afternoons arc free for rest or rccrea-
lon. Rowing and tennis attract many , while
ittlo exploring parties are always bringing
jack reports of Interesting places near at
land , and so the hours pass. We started
out one afternoon at about 2:30 : , and after
a ten minutes' walk reached Hound Top ,
said to be one of the highest points In Wis
consin , whore Yerkes' observatory of the
University of Chicago Is being btillded. It
was commenced a year ago this month and
will cost when completed $150,000. It Is
named after the great railroad king In Chicago
cage , through whose generosity It Is being
erected. A few of our number scaled for-
lildding looking ladders to reach the top ,
jut when the Omaha representative discov
ered a rude elevator and an obliging employe
who run It the heights fairly swarmed with
explorers , and we waved our victory from
the big tower many feet above the height
attained by the ladder climbers. "Arc you
Y. W.'s ? " queried a good-natured workman
of one of our number , omitting the C. A.
"Oh , yes , " she cnswcrcd _ , "and sometimes
we are called a Choice Assortment. "
From the observatory we went to the
Fresh Air camp at Holiday Home , as It Is
familiarly called. The manager , Mr. Peck
and matron , Mrs. Chase , were both out with
the children on an excursion around the
lake , which they always give them the flrs
Monday after their arrival. An assistant
Miss Stcele , showed us through the building
which Is beautifully situated on a sllgh1
eminence not far from the lake. The large
play room , furnished with books and games
an ofilce and dining room , are on one floor
The four dormitories , containing in all sev
enty-three beds , are on the lloor above
while below are the kitchen , laundry , bath
rooms and store room. A hospital In case
of an epidemic Is near by. In the dlnmj ,
room the tables were set In readiness for
the hungry little voyagers. Each table
seated eight and was brightened with nas
turtlums , which were raised on the grounds
From the veranda we watched this dek'gu
tlon of eighty-seven girls , ranging ironi G
to 1C years of age , land. They made the
air ring with their favorite yell , "Zig-zag
.dg-zag. zig-zag , zay ; Wo are the girls o
the F. A. A. i Home , home , Holiday Home
Lake Geneva , Holiday Home ; Hooray. " As
they trooped Into the corridors Miss Steele
stood near the entrance with the afternoon
mall In her hand , and the faces turned to
her were as eager for home news as are the
older folks over at the Y. W. C. A. camp
Wo watched them march into the dlnint
room and left them seated at the Inviting
tables laden with abundance of nutritious
food. The manager , Mr. Peck of Chicago
told us that at the end of two weeks a dele
gallon of eighty boys would take their
places , During the summer six delegations
of eighty or more como to this place for a
two weeks' outing. Two of boys , two o
girls and two of working women. This Lake
Geneva Fresh Air association was organlzcc
and Is supported by wealthy citizens of Chi
cago. The children are selected with grca
care from various missions of the city. Oh
for more "Holiday Homes" for those who
otherwise would never know what fresh at
and quietness are like !
SPEECHES IN EVENINGS.
The evenings at Lake Geneva are always
reserved for the lecture or address given
each night In the auditorium , Chanccllo
McDowell of Denver university spoke twice
Sunday and again Monday evening , The
auditorium was crowded , many of those
present having come from neighborly
camps. Chancellor McDoVcll couples will
his learning and earnestness of spirit a
broad sympathy and pleasing address whlc !
deepen the Impression of his words maul
fold , The International general secretary
Miss EIIIo K. Price , Is a favorite speaker
as Is also Dr. W. W. White and Miss AnnI
M. Reynolds , general secretary of tli
World's Young Women's Christian nssocla
tlon , which baa Its headquarters in London
England. Lake Geneva was the last plac
In which Miss Reynolds spoke before leav
Ing the United States in the fall of 1894 t

place In which she spoke publicly afte
nearly two years' absence , during which tlm
she had visited associations In England
Scotland. Germany , France , Norway am
Sweden , northern Italy , Australia and Soul !
Africa , having traveled nearly 40,000 mile
In all. I quote from her report. After an
extended study of association work undo

she says :

ker has been 111 fornBomc time with cancer
of the stomach andlhls.xlenth has been ex
pected most any thud for n week past. At
one time he rallied slightly , but It was only
temporary.
Joseph Barker wns'W years of age , having
been born In England In 1832. He has been
Identified with the business Interests of
Omaha since the spring of 1856 , having come
here from Salem , O.rwlth his father , mother , I
sister and brother. Thd" father , Joseph Bar- !
kcr , sr. , who had brought his family lo
this country from Sheffield , England , In 1851 ,
died In this city In 1873.
One of the first Investments In real estate
which the Barkers made In Nebraska was
In a large tract lying four miles west of
town , a portion of which has been platted as
Bellalre. Hero they engaged In farming and
stock-raising on nn extensive scale , nnd In I
the meantime carried on nn extensive real ,
cstnto business In the city , purchasing many i
corner lots. A number of these * hnvc become -
come of grcnt value nnd are still owned by i
the family. [
In 1873 Joseph Darker married Miss Eliza
E. 1'ntrlck of this city , n daughter of John
N. II. Patrick , csq. He leaves but ono child.
Joseph Barker , jr. , aged 18 years.

Convention TiioNilny.
HUHON. S. I ) . , July 12. ( Special. )
Prominent populists here declare that a ru
mor to the effect that H. L. Loucks and n
few others have arranged a slate ot nominees
for the populist state convention to bo held
! iere Tuesday Is entirely untrue. Mr. Loucks
Is n candidate for United States senator , and
to enter Into any such arrangement would
jeopardize his Interests. Besides , no arrange
ment could possibly be made that would
meet the general approval of the convention.
While Mr. Loucks Is likely to have some
preferences and may express his opinion
relative to candidates , he will not father
"combines" nor assume to be n dictator. Ho
Is "gunning" for Senator Kyle's scalp , and
will use his best efforts to capture the
United States senatorshlp. He Is too shrewd
to go Into any pro-convention deal at the
risk of his reputation and Influence. It Is
asserted that he has long been caucusing
with democrats to the end that fusion may
be accomplished so far as some of the can
didates are concerned , and this no doubt
Is true , for In a number of counties deals
have been made and the tickets , legislative
nnd county , have been made up of democrats
and populists.
That Loucks will attend the St. Louis
convention as chairman of the South Da
kota delegation is quite certain , but that
he will dictate the ticket to be named here
next Tuesday is not true. It is understood
that Senator Kyle will be here , also Senator
Pcttlgrcw and Mary Ellen Lease , each of
whom will address the convention. A re
ception will be given In honor of Mrs.
Lease and Senator Pettigrcw is likely to
be accorded a similar .honor. Aside from
this no special demonstration Is likely to
bo made. There Is some speculation as to
the make-up of the ticket. Harry Wynn
of Yankton and Mrlyln Grlgsby of Sioux
'
Falls each have frlcp'ds bore pushing them
for governor. Wynn apparently In the
lead. There arc from two to half a dozen
names mentioned in connection with the
other offices.

YANKTON , S. D. , July 12. ( Special. )
The following extract from nn open letter
written by President Irwln of the Sioux City
Commercial club and published in the Sioux
City Journal of July 3has , caused much un
favorable comment by Yankton citizens :
"Tho building of a bridge at Yankton and
the extension of a railroad line from Yank-
ton to Norfolk would prove n great misfor
tune to Sioux City ; and the Commercial as
sociation now is engaged , so far as It can ,
In work to prevent the consummation of
that project. "
There Is some talk of an Indignation meetIng -
Ing to make public the resentment felt by
citizens ot this city. A number have de
clared their Intention to do no more business
with Sioux City merchants or newspapers.
P. J. Ugberg says : "It has been BO for
twenty-four years. But wo will get the
bridge anyway. "
F. L. Van Tassell , secretary of the Excel
sior roller mills The Boo ought to scatter
20,000 papers , showing up the selfishness of
Sioux City , along the proposed line of the
Yankton , Norfolk & Southwestern.
Councilman Ulatt This Is nothing new.
but I nm a little surprised that they would
be honest enough to make an open expres
sion of their meanness. The Omaha Bee
has always befriended us. The Bee nnd
Omaha business houses could help us and
help themselves by using their Influence for
the early construction of the proposed new
road. We'll have the bridge In spite of
them.
Other towns that would be benefited by
the new bridge and a railroad reaching
Omaha directly are also bitter In their de
nunciation of confessed meanness of Sioux
City.

Appeal * from .luiljjc IVnllaoc ,
NEW YORK , July 12. United States Dis
trict Attorney McFarlane today announced
his Intention to appeal In the United States
circuit court from the decision recently ren
dered by Judge Wallace In favor of the Joint
Traffic association. The agreement of the as
sociation affects thirty-two railroads.

A business man who Is deeply Interested
In the cattle business of the west In dis
cussing the political situation and the pres
ent outlook expressed himself as follows :
"The action of the democratic national
convention at Chicago Is surely having a
great effect with the money loaning powers
of both the east and the west. It appears
that many banks already arc curtailing their
loans. This state has just passed through
the severe drouth of IS91 and has expe
rienced the difficulty of procuring a sufficient
amount of money to be loaned to the farmers
of the state for the purchase of feeder cat
tle to consume the corn crop now held over.
"We are now on the verge of the harvestIng -
Ing of one of the largest crops of grain that
this state has ever produced. This Is par
ticularly so as pertains to the corn crop.
The Indications an- that the states south
and east of us will nlso produce large corn
crops and what will necessarily follow will be
that the prevailing prices of corn throughout
the country will be very low and the only
way n Nebraska farmer can hope to realize
a fair price for his corn will be to feed
It. The price of corn throughout the state
today Is 12 or 15 cents per bushel and
farmers are able to realize 25 cents per
bushel for such as they feed hogs at the
irevalllng price of 3 cents per pound.
"If thu farmers nro able to procure the
iccessary amount of feeder cattle to con
sume n largo proportion of the present rorn
crop of this state they can hope thereby to
eallze satisfactory prices for their product ,
ut lu the face of this silver agitation , If
: ho people who have been In the habit of
'urnlshlng the money to the farmers for the
iurchnsu of feeder cattle continue to bo
alarmed and lock up tholr money until
iftcr the November election we will have
mssed through the shipping season of wcst-
TH or grass cattle , from which shipments the
'armer Is obliged to procure his supply , and
: hls state. Instead of being full of feeder cat-
le , as we have every ica on to believe It will
Jo , there will be but few rattle In pro
portion to the great amount of feed , and
: ho farmers will bo obliged to crib and
: iold tllelr corn.
"H Is not very difficult to see what effect
this will have on all western states tbat
borrow money for feeding cattle. It Is
bound to affect not only the great mar
kets of the west , but the great cities and
towns of the Western states. Moneyed men
In the last few years have been open In
the expression that there was no better
class of loans to be made than to those
made on feeding cattle. H frequently oc
curs where a farmer has the necessary
feed ho can borrow very close up to the
first purchasing price of cattle. Interested
parties fully realize that the Increased
weight of cattle with the Increased price
of fat cattle will more than overcome the
: ioath loss that might occur. At any time
that a cattle loan might bo called the- full
amount of such loan may bo realized and
returned to the owner within the time neces
sary to place the stock on cars and ship
to market. It Is for these reasons that
cattle paper Is looked upon favorably by
parties having money to loan , but the un
certainty brought about by the silver agi
tation as stated before Is liable to cause
the holding of this money until the time
shall have passed when the use of It to the
western feeder may be fully realized. These ,
In my opinion , are matters for the western
Trainers and cattlemen to consider care
fully. "

Tuesday evening there will be a meeting
of the Transmlssissippl committees at the
council chamber. It is urged that every
citizen interested In the welfare of South
Omaha attend. The committee Is expected
to devise some feasible plan whereby the
exposition grounds may be located advan
tageously to this city. As citizens in some
portions of Omaha have offered a bonus
to the directors of the exposition If the
gtjounds were located in a certain place
it may be necessary for this city to raise
a guarantee fund in order to have Its
claims given attention by the directors.
There Is no doubt but that a large sum
could bo raised by subscription , providing
the committee went about it in the right
way. A great many citizens favor River-
view park and assert that should the expo
sition be located there It would benefit this
city greatly. Others favor Seymour park , but
that is thought to bo out of the question by
some.
At the same meeting steps will be taken
to Induce the street car company to extend
Its line to Fort Crook from Albright. Dur
ing the past week the business men here
have felt the benefit from having the fort
so near. Even with the crude transporta
tion facilities and the high price charged
by the owners of 'busses the city Is filled
every afternoon with soldiers. Last week
after having been paid several hundred
soldiers came up and spent a large portion
of their salary. A committee Is to be ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions with the
idea of offering the street railway com
pany a bonus for extending the line. A
suitable tract of land for a power house
will also be donated If desired.

Outcome of a llllllcuHy Over Itx
Original OiieiiliKC.
Saturday night B. Jetter caused to be
built a strong fence across Thirtieth street
south of Eggers , thus blocking traffic on
the roads In that vicinity. As soon as the
fence was completed Jetter placed a watch
man at the gate with Instructions to allow
no teams except those belonging to the
brewery to pass through.
This action is the outcome of a case of
long standing. Some years ago Jetter paid
Into the city treasury something over { 800
for grading South Thirtieth street , but never
dedicated lils half of the street which runs
through his property to the city. Thomas
Ryan , who owns the property on the east
half of the street , dedicated his portion to
the city , and the council refunded to him
the amount ho had paid Into the treasury In
consideration of his giving up title to his
part of the land used by the road. Jetter
paid his money without protest , and when
the matter was called lo the attention of
the council last spring the judiciary com
mittee rejiortcd against refunding the
amount to Jetter. As Mr. Jotter owns
nearly all of the land In that vicinity at
torneys assert that the city cannot prevent
him from fencing up his own property If he
so desired. Until the matter Is settled all
travel from the south on Thirtieth street will
be compelled to go around by Albright In
order to reach the city.

be now full to the brim.

law states explicitly that the front doors of
saloons must remain closed nnd locked all
day. It was 60 very warm that the mayor
hesitated to order the doors locked , as by
doing so would deprive the Inmates of what
little breeze was stirring. The low was ,
however , enforced.
