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.

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

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.

the west , Is the largo display ot 11. Haas of

of Floral hall. There nro about fiOO plants
In all , and 150 different kinds of flowers
There Is a flno display of palms of cloven
varieties. Of the China asters , there arc no
less than forty-three varieties , the collec
tion forming one ot the best In the tents
The panslcs and the geraniums of Haas
received much favorable notice , as did also
hla design of an anchor and crescent on a
largo lloral base. Some beautiful hibiscus
also deserve mention. Altogether the display
Is a noteworthy one , there arc many beauti

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.

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.

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.

armed resistance , the patron of the arts
mil ot all the crafts requiring skill and tact ,
ho Invcnt-ess of wind Instruments and the
roquent guirlo of nitn in battle , made her
ippcarancu en the fifth float , and appeared

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

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.
