SCENES KR05I THE 5IAINE WOODS. The display of the Lec-Clnrk-Andrecsrn company Is one of the brst In the building from the standpoint of the fair manage ment. It Is quite a work of art In Its way , and Is a very realistic representation of n scene In the Main wools. : The background Bhows forest scenery nnd reveals n cnrbou nlamllng with lowered head , preparatory tea a charge upon the two hunters who stand knco deep In the snow In the foreground.

III3AIITIKS Ol < " THIS HA UlNiiluy SurpiiNNOH ( lint of Any I'revl- OIIH Vcnr. If the officers of the Nebraska State Horticultural ticultural society feel proud over the dis play of applcn , pears , peaches , grapes and other delicious fruits , a stronger adjective must needs bo used to describe their feelIngs - Ings over Ihe success that has attended their efforts to secure the finest collection of' ' flowers over shown at a Nebraska State fnlr. The florists cannot bo nccuhed of being self-satisfied , for they are already planning greater and handsomer things for next year , but It Is an undeniable fact that they are Eratlfied beyond measure at the uniform excellence ot the floral display. They arc not the only ones who are well pleased with the exhibit , for all those who have passed through Floral hall and the adjoining tent have had words of praise for the beautiful array of those that neither spin nor toil. Not a little of the flora ) , work Is to be seen In Horticultural hall. At the north entrance Is a tastefully arranged exhibit by Chapln Bros , of Lincoln. It Includes a handsome phoenix palm. The same firm lias also decorated the fruit tables through out the hall with many potted plants that pleasantly Interrupt the monotonous suc cession of long rows ot fruit plates. In Floral hall this firm has an oven larger exhibit than It had last year , the strong features being the roses and the carnations. Among the roses the American beauties , the pearls and the meteors are most lovely and desarve especial mention , Several va rieties of carnations never before shown In Nebrnka add to the novelty as well as to the beauty of this exhibit ; they are known by the following catchy names : Delia Fox , triumph and Jubilee. A massive design of a harp In roses and carnations , wllh a liberal display ot fine ferns , occupies n commanding position at tbo north end of the big case. Paul B. Floth of this city has a larger end a handsomer variety of flowers than over before. A rustle basket Is a fcaturo of the exhibit. Ills palms are splendid. There are thirty-six varlutles of them , formIng - Ing a more complete exhibit than has been seen at ji Nebraska state fair for the past flvo years. The tropical plants appear hardy nnd show that they have been well cared for. Of thn ferns and selangenala , which form a fine exhibit by themselves , there are sixty-live distinct varieties. Among the cut flowers of this exhibit the sweet peas , the pansles and the roses , In the order named , are the finest. SOME BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS. In the exhibit ot Lewis Henderson the design - sign entitled , "Rock of AIIOS , " with the rock and the cross worked out In llllcs-of- tho-valley and roses , Is the most prominent piece. An immense basket containing six dozen handsome American beauties draws forth exclamations of approval from the Klrls anil faint sighs of regret from their male escorts. A largo shield with the In itials "L. H. " In flowers is another attrac tive design. The display of asters , roses cud geraniums is m.usimlly flue. J , W. nnd E. E. -nold of this Hty exhibit You Use It ? It's the best tiling for the .Tnir under all circumstances. Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch to his stature , so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro mote conditions favorable to growth. This ia done by Ayer's Hair Vigor , It re moves dandruff , cleanses the scalp , nourishes the .soil in which the hair grows , and , just as a desert will blossom under rain , so bald heads grow hair , when the roots are nour ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal c.olor , or If you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor. seventeen varieties ot roses that nra home grown.

Astrophytuni Is the lengthy name of a rare plant that Is found growing In the crevices of rocks In Mexico , of wblrh the exhibitor has obtained several spccl urns. It wruld requite a voluirc to enumerate and completely dest-rlbo all the cacti , aloes and other plants In this really wonderful exhibit. It might also ro- qnlro the use of n glossary In the rending of such n descriptive article , for the names ot many ot the plants arc almost as tall as the plants themselves. DISPLAY MANY UAUB ONES.

' Ire In a I'liuSlicil F.li < > KiilNlu-cl In Short Onli > r. Several hundred people were attracted to the eastern slopes of the grounds at 11 o'clock yesterday morning by the fire test given by the Racine Fire Engine company. A building had been constructed of pine board ? , strips of pine wood had been placed Inside , and the- entire structure saturated with thirty gallons of kerosene oil. In n mo ment after a match was applied great ton gues of flames shot out , and In two minutes the shed was completely enveloped In fiainc and smoke. When the word was given the men in charge of the engine commenced their work and the chemical was thrown into the flro. But a few seconds were necessary to place It under full control. Mr. Hill operated the nozzle , and though ho says he is not an experienced fireman It was clear to be seen that he thoroughly understands the machine. He has confidence that It will Instantly respond to the de- demands made upon It. The Raelno engine Is said to have several points of superiority and Improvement over the old carbonic acid gas engines. The engine dors not genera to gas In the tank , but uses a dead ehemlcal ami has compressed air as a motive power , the gas being gen erated by contaot with the lire , therefore be ing as effective on outsldo as on Inside fires , It Is salil that chemical Investigation has proven that this new fluid Hydro Dl Oxide generates 2,100 times Its volume In this fire extinguishing gas. It docs not damage flesh or clothing and does not freeze at any temperature. It Is ready at all times for Immediate action and In case of a largo conflagration can ho recharged while in operation. There Is no waste of chemical , as no chemical action takes place In the tank , con sequently when the flro is put out the valve s closed , leaving the unused contents until again called into action. Chemicals have always been known to lamago much less property than water. The opinion was that the Raulno engine was a most practical one In every sense of the urm.

The attendance was small , but the enthusiasm for agriculture wan wrought up to a high mint by the new and graphic presentation of the subjects presented. The exercises were opened by an address on "Bulldlni ; Up Thoroughbred Herds , " by C. H. Elmenr dorf of Turlington , Nob. Mr. Elmendorf Is owner of the leading herd of thoroughbred cattle of the west , the famous "Wilton" Herefords , His advice centered on the principal that only the best are good enough , and pedigree without Individuality Is to bu avoided as much as Individuality without pedlgrtiu , incalculable loss results from In different breeding und the way out Is for fanners to avail themselves of the blood lines established by more than 1,000 years of painstaking work in building up families of cattle. Owing to the lack of time , papers pro ? pared by G. W. Hervey , 0. A. Fort , and lion , J , V. Wolfu worts passed and will be printed In the press of the state. The lecture of the day was by Huch R.

TliliiKM Scon thntVir < < \ot on Iti'Kil- tnr i\lllliitloii. Commission Merchant Nelson of Omaha attracted much attention yesterday morning by appearing In n loyal , but gaudy array of linen. His shirt , collar and cuffs were of the loudest ot the Ak-Sar-Bcn colors. There was nn Interesting test In the Dairy hall yesterday morplng. A test was made of the butter fat In the milk bottled by the West Point creamery. It showed a cream line of 20 per cent. There was 40 ; pounds to every 100 pounds of milk. Dairy hall was a favorite place for lunch parties yesterday noon , The vacant platform on the west side of the building was well occupied by visitors who had brought along tholr lunches. The building Is a cool otic and all the surroundings arc pleasant for such gatherings. Chairman Stockman of the exhibit committee teeof - the Sioux City fair Is endeavoring to secure a large number ot the exhibits for the fair there. Among other exhibitors ho Invited to Sioux City yesterday was the Racine Flro Engine company , lie says his fair wants the protection as well us the attractive display. Much now fruit was to be seen In Horti cultural hall yesterday morning. Nemaha county received a largo Invoice and added to Its flue exhibit many choice varieties. One fact that makes the display of fruit so at tract Ivi to the sightseers Is that the exhibit Is kept up to a high standard nil the time. As soon as a decayed piece of fruit Is dis covered It Is thrown out and fresh fruit substituted In Its place. There U every. Indication that there will bu some great bicycle racing on the tra"lc on Saturday afternoon. The managers have agreed to the race meet nnd telegrams be tween hero and Chicago regarding the ap pearance of some of the fastest riders in the west arc now being Interchanged. Barnum has charge of the arrangements. The meet will consist of i heat , races , and an effort will be made to establish a great mile record for the state fair track. Among other visitors noticed en the fair grounds ycst.Crday were : S. C. Smith , secretary of the Kansas State Fair Board of Managers ; W. G. Fulkinson of the Illinois state fair , and C. U. Stockman of the Sioux City fair , and the two world-travelers from Berlin , who have be'pn In Omaha tcr the past few days. All expressed themselves as highly pleased with the splendid lot of ex hibits and the large nnd orderly crowd that was on the grounds this forenoon. Chief of Police Davis yesterday morning made his first arrest since he arrested one1 of the State fair managers fOr refusing to wear his otllclal ribbon. A vendor of cheap goods placed his waeon in front of the cast gates so as to interfere with the entrance of the visitors. He stubbornly refused to move and was arrested. " ; He was taken before the managers and' allowed to state his casu. What disposition will be made of him has not yet been determined. There was a little trouble at cue of the exit gates yesterday. The gate keeper at that particular point had received positive orders that no team could enter by that gate. A team attempted to dose and the driver supported In his attempt by several officials , who wore doubtless Ignorant of the rules cf the rate. The gate ketpcr vas In the minority and was overcome. When the matter was reported at headquarters there was considerable Indignation that a rule of the board had been ruthlessly trampled by p. superintendent. Ono of the most Interesting personajrra connected with the administration of the greatest fair Nebraska lias ever held Is. Robert W. Patrick. He is the highest otflcinl of the- judicial department , and holds sway in a small rofiu In the police head quarters. To be sure , the dingy quartern are not so inv'.tlng aa a collegian's suite of rooms , nor so elaborately furnished as a fine suburban home , nor does the l.iw library at hand compare with one In a city oflice , but the Justice of thn praco is content ami happy all the time , nnd mingles with tin1 rural defenders of the law as though ho had been a fair policeman himself , lie has yet to hold his first scssl in of court , bui when some unfortunate pilioner Is brought bvforo the Htato fair bar for trial , the tri bunal Is likely to take revenge for all tbo days that have passed without any arrests.

GODDESS OF TUB DAWN. The magnificent Nebraska Brigade band ) Uniformed Rank Knlghti of 1'ytblas , of Mc- Cook , royally cscorled Aurora , the goddes of dawn. This float presented a mngnlflccn picture and was greatly commented upo : by the spectators. The goddess rode in i splendid golden charlol over the billows o clouds , reddening with the rays of the sun her brother , whose approach she was her aiding to the world. Her horses , Lampetu : and Phaeton , white nnd gray and golden , hoofed , were chaUied to the car with trare : i of silver. Before her flew her two maidens 1 Hew and Flowers , casting their fragranci upon the awakening esrlh. Behind hoi spread the radiance of her glorious brother who was Just awakening from his bed o clouds. Nos , the goddess of night , followed ill redly In HIP wake of Aurora , to bring tin t chaos that comes after Iho brief reign o 1 light and life. Arrayed In black robes slit rode upon n silvery crescent moon , stir i rounded by the stars and the satellites. Al about her the dark clouds rolled In greal i billows , ns If conscious of the destructm spirits of despair they were bearing. The place of honor Was held by Death seated on his throne directly before the god dcss. He was forbidding and gray-bearded but yet bore n cornucopia of flowers , tc I signify the delightful release from life thai he was bringing. To his right and left wen his compinlons , the twins , Sleep and the God of Dreams. Two companions reclined on the pillows behind them. The train was brought up by the messenger ot Night , tin j gray and melancholy owl. | The South Omaha Military band escorted I the god of the seas , Neptune , who rode almost - | most alone In all his glory and might. Only I a couple of pretty mermaids were visible I above the tops of the green waves , as they | gracefully swam along ami guided the royal team through the trackless water. Tin1 waves surged nil about the chariot , but gave obeisance to their sovereign by remaining quiet nnd gentle whcte he rode. The god , a mighty bearded Individual , wreathed with a crowd of seaweed and gold , sat In state within a huge scashcll thnt re flected all the colors of the rainbow. He huld his scepter In his hand , the trident , conscious of his power amidst the angry waves. His chariot was drawn by n pair of monster dolphins , whose variable color flashed through the greenness of the water. All about were scattered shells uiul sea weed. Mercury , the swift-footed messenger of the gods , followed on n magnificent chariot , whoso possession he divided with the four goddesses , who assisted him in his duty. Ono represented the mortal Industry , which It was Mercury's mission to foster and pro tect , another the ministry of commerce and finance , another the gift of eloquence and the Inst tbe care of the flocks and herds. Mercury was mounted on the wheel of com merce , on which two silver wings denoted his god-llko character. Ho was dressed sim ply in a light garment that could not Im pede his flying feet , and his attitude was that of one just about to begin a race. This float was followed by the Omaha Military band , and then camp Pegasus , the winged horse , with wings outspread as though he had Just taken flight from Mount Olympns. Hla wings glistened in the bright electric Illumination , as though they still | retained the celestial colorings , and below him sat the nine muses , whom the gods had destined him to serve. Each of the muses bore the InsJgnla of her work. Clio , her books of history , Terpsichore her lyre , Urania her globe nnd Uterpe , Calliope , Mel pomene , Erato , Polyhymnia and Thalia each the types ot their peculiar destiny. VULCAN , THE GOD OF FIRE. One of the most striking floats in the en tire parade was that of Vulcan , who was represented by the tallest knight the realms of King Ak-Sar-Beu II could offer. In the rear of the Hrat rose a huge dark mass of rugged cnigs , representing the volcano which belched the eternal flro which the Im mortal blacksmith converted to his purpose. Vulcan , himself , toll of stature and tremendous deus in his rugged strength , stood over the forge , while in the foreground proud Venus , nnd Amor , with her bow and fluttering wings , forged the chains of love on the huge anvil. P.cside and around them lay the em blems of Vulcan's craft , and so perfect was the illusion that even those to whom mythology was an unknown Held could not fail to recognize the character sought to be portrayed. Tbo Arapaboo band of thirty pieces marched behind Vulcan , and In turn worn followed by Aescalaplus , god of thu healing art , whoso gentle ministrations taught man kind tbe flrst science of medicine. Tbu god himself steed in the shadow of a magnifi cent portico of the early Greek architecture , which was In perfect accord with the senti ment ot the scone. Before him sat his daughter , Hygcla , with the serpent sym bolls of bis art , and still further on two huge vsses of rare and wonderful work manship rose to the height of a man's head anil held grrat palms whc.se fresh green col oring made a vivid contrast to the ethereal tints which adorned the habitation of the god. GODDESS OF THE CHASE. Diana , goddess of the chase and patron of womanly cheatily , roile on a magnificent chariot which everywhere represented those attributes which endeared the goddess to lEPiiklml. The base was formed nf jagged locks that rose high around her feet. Hero and there a struggling tree of gnarled oak relic-veil the barrenness of the rock and af forded cover for the hares and smaller boasts that fled from the certain doom that followed the loosening of Diana's shaft. Around her attendants stood rcady to min ister to her desire. One huld the anxious hounds In leash , while In advance the frightened deer vainly endeavored to escape from the ready shaft. PAN , THE GENTLE SHEPHERD. Float No. 16 represented Pan , thu shep herd god. He was seated upon a stump be neath the bows of a monster oak which had been broken oft Just above the first branches. Hu held in his lap thu proverbial hook of the shepherd , and was playing on the reed , the favorite instrument of men who fol lowed his avocation in the tlnius when mythology was born. Ho was watching blh flock , which In this Instance consisted of a couple of cows , a calf and a horse. The fig ures we're all admirably moulded , the posi tions were natural , and one could easily Imagine that ho had be cm transported buck Into the ncs which have been passed for centuries. On this float the artist had done some of his finest work. Whllo it lacked 3cno : of the tinsel and brilliancy of soinu of the others Its beauty line's we're of the correct moulding of the figures both animate nnd Inanimate. Pan was originally born with horns , pointed ears and fret llko those of the goat , but the artist bad taken him In hU later days when he had approached ncaicr to the appearance of the mortal cf everyday life , lie was a great lover of niUBlc , and from this has come down even ito i ' to the present generation the Idea that shepherds - herds Invariably play upon some mur.lcal Instrument , both for their own amusement , and to keep their flocks In a peaceable and ccntentcd humor , GODDESS OF JUSTICE. Float number seventeen represented Jus tice. The > blind goddess stood upon a largo itar with rays of light shooting In every direction Shu huld In one hand the scale-H which have been from tbo earliest times the emblem by which shu is recognized and with which every school boy and girl Is Familiar. Whllo weighing out justice on the ono hand she held In thu other thu iword to administer the punishment. At her feet sat four other figures. One of them represented Crime , another Punishment , an- ather Vcnscnco and the fourth Innocence. While with bandaged eyes the goddess Is lecldlng thu affairs of men , unconscious 5f the identity of those who are before her , Innocence sits serenely awaiting the deci sion confident of the curructnuKS of thu II nil In KB. Crime Is cringing , well knowing ihat thure is no escape from a righteous judgment and that the consequences of jvil will be meted out. The other figures ire typical of the names they bear. Thu : lublgn of the float was good ami In Its tvorklng out the artist had secured some lirllllant effects. Practically the only figure except the living ones , was the star , and this was onu of the flrst magnitude , al most equalling the sun In the brilliance it Its rays. OLD FATHER TIMES' FLOAT. The eighteenth float represented Cronos. Ho was the god of Tlmo. Ho was repre sented as sitting in an Immense hour lasa. This wau surrounded by a circle on which were outlined thu twelve signs of the zodiac. The flout was perhaps the least elaborate , but one of the most suggestive > f the twenty. As the wings which were ittachcd to the great hour glass beat slowly , .bu god sat within , wrinkled and with grim visage , watched tbe sands of human llfu run their course , Intent on bin task , bu , > atd no attention to human happiness or r& H > / \ 1 $ * - Dft / < c * f * $ m\ ft tt-'vr 1 1 ? if Senoo i Bovs Y ° ur b ° y-is hc * / / iLJU1 ijv/v/a _ _ rcady for schoo , has he any clothes fit to wear It's just for that rea son we're starting our "Special Sale" of Boys' Goods We cut the price just when you want them fioys All- Wool Knee pants 2Oo Boys' i cttcr Quality Knee Boys' Corduroy Knee Pants. . . to say worth $1.75 a pair but we don't talk that way we let our customers talk for us One thing is Kp sure ; these prices are specially low and you'll hunt § | f a long time before you g-et any thing half as good 1&1 at the price. ? 2-piece Suits , made nicely of all- ' $ & wool chp.viot or cassimere , withdoufy f&i b'e knees and double seats and double breasted .cfcx , X . coats for $1.65 that is so low that unless you see , l ! < irjt.X " J&t * KX the goods you'll be afraid of them but it's all ri ht W * the price does not indicate the value Boys and Girl's- School Shuts , made of Good Solid Lathcr and Warranted for ' for gentlemen and ladies and many ' special values in Ladies' Cloaks , Capes and wrappers during Fair week THE NEW STORE DOUGLAS ST ' 4& i& { & . . § & & * Sf4 Njr > , -t * * i'y * ft = tr'i fty * * Vy * * - 4 isi-a * \M J > | - y fcvyii misery , simply watching for the end. Ii his hand he bore a scythe with which t < end the existence ot the luckless morta when the hour glass had told the storj of the end of his days. Crones was a goi of the Greeks. Ho was said to havti beei the son of Uranus and the father of Jupiter N'ppttmc. Juno and Cores. He Is coinmonl ) Identified with the Roman Saturn. The nineteenth float represented Mars , the god of war. It was one of the most elab orate In the parade. In the foreground stood animate figures , representing Terror , Fear and Contention. Then came the god , standing In his chariot drawn by horses evidently as eager for the fray as himself. The horses were represented as being on the run , going straight ahead , regardless of the destruction which might be left in their wake. In his hand the god himself held aloft a monster spear , poised ready to strike. Behind him was n beautiful piece of work , representing a portico of classic Greek outlines supported by a row of p'llars. ' Beneath It stood two armed warriors. The figures were all well moulded , especially the horses , which appeared al most to be animated with the fire of a charger going Into battle. Mars was ono of th principal gods of the ancient Inhabitants of thn Italian penin sula and was worshiped at Rome under three aspects : First , as the god of battle , early Identified with the Greek Arcs ; sec ondly , as Sylvanus ho was the god of hus bandry nnd rural life ; third , us CJulrinus ho was the father and tutelary divinity of a Roitan state , whose founders were his ofTspiing. The last float In the parade was ono which represented Victory and was a fitting end ing for one of the most brilliant spectacles over witnessed. The goddess was represented as a lovely woman seated on an elevated throne. On the field nt her tout were four figures , representing gladiators and atliletes ready to receive the award for a meritor ious performance. In bur loft hand thn god dess huld aloft the crown of laurel with which It was the custom of the ancient Greeks to decorate the vlclors In games and contests of skill , strength and in com bats. In hci right hand ( diu held a branch of the palm , emblematic ; of the peace wblnh follows a victory won. At the sldn of the throne on which thn goddess sat rose two massive pillars of classic Greek outlines. On top of thi'sn were two figures , which represented antediluvian munatont over which nature In Its progress to perfection has triumphed , leaving only to the present day skeletons , which are carefully collected In natural history museums and ouch ono given a nnmci longer than the entlro parade. The float was one of thn best proportioned nnd most beautiful In Its outlines of any in the parade. In its lines U was massive and Indicated the strength which wins tint victories which it typified.
