the public la Riven a practical Illustration of
Juat how many of tbo articles In everyday
use are made.
KEARNEY COTTON AND BICYCLES.
Probably the most Interesting of all Is
the exhibit of the Kearney cotton mill. The
Idea of cotton cloth manufacture Is gener
ally associated with New England or the
Bouth. anil few , comparatively , of the people
of the state have any Men that such a thing
as cotton cloth Is mailo In the state. A
loom Is shown In operation anil It goes right
on doing business Just the same , whether
any one la watching It or not. Samulcs of
the finished product of the mill are shown.
Across the aisle Is the exhibit of the KaU-
Novlns company , manufacturers of ready
made clothing. They show a complete line
of overalls , rough work coats and the ordi
nary grades of ready made men's wear.
Another one of the enterprises which at
tracts attention Is from Kearney. Everyone
ono nowadays Is Interested In bicycles , and
over the booth Is the significant motto ,
"Patronize Homo Industry. " Here Is a
complete line of bleycles , both for men
women and children. One of the novelties
In the display Is an attachment for any ordi
nary single bicycle for the carrying of chil
dren. If Is an extension frame which fits In
behind and to which n regular bicycle scats
\s \ attached. At first glance It looks like a
very short tandem and It Is with tin- excep
tion that them are no pedals or gear attached
to the rear portion.

complete line of thn toothsome products ol
Its factory , both In the staff of life and

C. 13. Shukert has n fine display of furs ,
l > oth manufactured and In the pelt. Even

face , the women stop and look admiringly at
beautiful wraps.
The Carter \Vhlto Lead works show some
of the products of the big works over on
the bottom In East Omaha. These arc
among the largest works of the kind In the
country and the lead Is corroded by n
process which Is the property of this com
pany. In addition to white lead the com
pany shews other paints In all colors. A
practical Illustration of the difference be
tween Its product and that of some other
Is given on some boards nailed up In the
booth. Thuro Is nothing about an exhibit
of paints which Is particularly attractive ,
but so far as It Is possible with the ma
terials In hand the booth has been orna
mented. The product Is ornainetal only
when applied.
William Siiyder has on exhibition some
of as fine specimens of the carriage-maker's
art as Is to bo seen anywhere. Mr. Snyder
makes n specialty of line carriage work
nnd caters to the class of trade which de
mands fine workmanship along with honest
workmanship. Ills exhibit Is not so largo
as some seen down in the agricultural Im
plement district , but what there Is of It
U well worth moro than a passing notice.
EXHIBITS AND MOKE KXI1II3ITS.
The Omaha Tent and Rubber company
present a collection which contains some
thing which about everybody wants. Not

see Just how much there Is In that line
which modern usage has tuuglit people to
think are necessities. The entire booth Is
fixed up In an artistic manner , and while

Hone's cigar factory has a booth which
attracts a great amount of attention.
While of the many thousands who pass

In that form , there are a great many whenever
never saw a cigar made. There are a
couple of women working away Just as un
concerned and as Industriously as though
there were not thousands passing them
every hour. They roll up the product
which soothes a man when his temper Is
runicd and which comforts him in trouble
or helps him to enjoy more fully his hours
of leisure. This factory Is one of the largest
Institutions of the kind In the west anil its
product is sold nil over this section.

collection of its products , and the Natlona

of paints nnd oils used by the trade.
The Lincoln Pottery company has ono o
the most interesting exhibits to be scon a )
the fair. The pottery Itself Is not any
thing either novel or striking , but the mak
ing of It Is a process that comparatively few
of those who attend the fnlr. In all proba
bility , have ever seen. It Is a sight of
which the crowd never seems to. tire. The a
workman takes a lump of wet clay and b >
a few minutes deft manipulation turns out
a Jug , a crock or some other utensil In
everyday use.
The Omaha Urowing association has
full line of Its products for the crowd to

mementoes of thn fair. The company has

ture building.

The feature of the thirtieth Nebraska
State fair that distinguishes It from all its , -
predecessors Is the fact that thcro has been
big Improvement In the. quality of the ex
hibits. As there has been no material In [
crease In the amount of space , the display > -
so far as quantity Is concerned dlffcis but Is
llttlo from that of the last slate fair , but
there Is always room for an Improvement In Is
quality , and a greater advancement Is here
shown this year than over before. In no
building on the grounds Is this fact more
strikingly Illustrated than In Textile hall.
In nearly every department ot woman's
handiwork Is the display more elaborate than
last year. Especially In silk , Persian and
Kensington embroidery , In Honlton lace , In
cut work and In linndsewlng Is the work
superior to that shown last year. The
raising of the standard Is due in a large :
dcgr-c-o to the Indefatigable efforts of Mrs. \
Lottie M. Moulton of Beatrice , the efficient
superintendent. Without depreciating the
work of liivno talent or prejudicing the work
of the women of other places In the state It
may bo said that the IJeatrlce women have U
contributed moro than their share to the
Kuiceas of this department by the display of n'
their own work and by their administration
of the affairs connected with the depart
ment. Mrs , Moulton has been assisted by la
thu following corps of assistants : Mrs.
Bruce Smith , Fiumont ; .Mrs. Charles Iloxle. :
Lincoln ; Mrs. C. E. Cook. Beatrice , and Mlsa

SOME VERY FINE WORK.
The list of premiums awarded In the Tex-
tllo building that have no far been awarded
have already been published. They call
attention to the most meritorious work , and
will be unnecessary to hero name all the :
excellent displays In the building. In the
Biubroldcry exhibit In the work of Mrs , Erwln
Clancy ot llcatrlco thcro Is much to admire ;
she has designed all her work herself and
then executed It. A lunch cloth adorned with
beautiful tea roses deserves mention. Mrs. :
Wilson of Lincoln has another lunch cloth >
ornamented with tea roses. A lunch cloth
with beautifully embroidered forget-me-nots , :
by Mr * . Cole , Is a line piece of work. She
also exhibits a center piece that Is ilonu
the latest design of delf work ; U Is as
line us It Is unique. Mrs. Josephine Allen
has a handsome table cover of the fantastic , -
Persian design. Mrs. Morrcll exhibits a
center-piece adorned woth some beautiful n
paimles. In the whlto embroidery Mrs. :
Olive Davenport tins some line work orna . '
mented with popples , dog-ilowcrs and con
ventional designs. Mrs. Dctweller exhibits
among other pieces of silk embroidery a

the attractive Uiciilen style. Mrs. Clancy .

luallly and deserves especial mi'iitloa An beef
iUborate portiere , a fine tray cloth , a hand- of

ul lambrequin are specially noticeable. t
-Iney Fleming of Illinois has a centerpiece
lane lu grreti thiit Is beautiful. In the
lit work Mrs. Clancy again exhibits sonic gc
luporlor work. A centerpiece of hers Is gcH
nude beautiful tr the cutting o { a large H
scroll i pattern and some butterflies. Mrs. '
J. F. King of Logan , la. , displays a flno lot
of cut work , especially ahandsomo table-
cover. Mrs. Wilson has a cen'.orplece of
tea roses that Is good. A centerpiece and
n set ot toilet mats by Mrs. King merit |
mention. A table cover adorned with tea
roscs.d ono hy Mrs. Slyder , Is also good.
Miss Harlow exhibits a brown linen table-
cover < made beautiful by tea roses and a
tray cloth with some dainty pansles on It.
SOME Ol'TSIDB EXHIBITORS.
Mrs. Croaks of Lincoln has plenty of fine
work , especially In the department given
over to Honlton laco. A pincushion with
n Honlton lace cover over Nile green and
pink [ Is one of the most beautiful things In ;
the large ease that Is flllcd with this work. '
Mrs. Josephine Allen also has a creditable
display of Honlton laco. Mrs. Clancy has
an embroidered apron In this class that Is
especially fine. Mrs. Maglnn exhibits n
beautiful centerpiece in this same Hue. In
this case Is also a dainty little card case
of white linen adorned with some beautiful
violets , the works of Mrs. Bofigs. In the
Guipure lace work Mrs. IKng of Logan ,
la. I , makes a eredllable display. There Is n
largo 1 CASC that Is entire given over to the
exhibition of lace work. It would require
columns to completely describe the various
pieces hero displayed. They Include hand
kerchiefs , collars , cuffs , toilet articles , lace
by the yard nnd lace In many other forms
that Is especially useful In woman's dress.
Mrs. Bibb of Beatrice has a beautiful lot of
tatting lace work displayed.
Omaha work shows up well In all the de
partments of the Textile building , but In
the section occupied by llttlo girls' work It
takes front rank easily. This fact augurs
well tor the display ot handiwork by Omaha
women In future years. To bo an exhib
itor in this class the llttlo girl must be un
der 10 years ot age. and while some of the
work might bo Judged harshly by critical
judges , nil ot It Is remarkably duo when
the youth of the exhibitors Is taken Into
consideration. The display occupies the
northeast corner of the building and Is large
nnd creditable. To enumerate even the
best work here shown would bo an arduous
task. Omaha girls especially exhibit some
fine work nnd their sisters out In the state
are not far behind them. Thcro are aprons ,
calico dresses , patchwork of all descriptions ,
various forms of crazy work , crochet and
embroidery work , sofa pillows , dolls' dresses
and numerous other articles that would do
credit to the llttlo girls' elders.
WOMEN OLD IN YEAHS.
The opposite corner , the northwest , Is given
over to the display of work by old women ,
and the various articles shown there call
forth no small amount of admiration from
the visitors. U Is a fact that the depart
ments of little girls' and old women's work
receive more attention , not only from the
male visitors , but also from the female
visitors , than other departments In the
building. The really flno embroidery work
the handsome lace work and the cut work
are apparently beyond the great majorltj
nt the visitors , for they pass by them bur
rledly to spend moro time In looking at the
dolls' dresses made by little girls and the
quilts made by elderly dames. The dlspla >
of woik by old women Is quite womlerfu
when the age of the exhibitors Is considered
There are no dresses or aprons shown h
this department , but there Is a vast array o
crochet and knit work. Knit bed-quilts am
crazy bed-quilts form n largo proportion o
the display. Mri. Matilda Murray exhibits
quilt that Is said to be 12S years old
There Is considerable embroidery work tha
would do Justice to women younger
by a great many years than the embroider
ors. When It Is realized that coloring am
due embroidery work did not receive the
attention when the old women ot today were
In their prime , the work they display Is
nothing short of marvelous. Mrs. Dartt o
Dcatrice , aged 74 years , exhibits a dellcatelj
embroidered center piece and dollies. Ii
this end of the building there are over
soventy-ilvr silk quilts , the work of elderly
women. There are Innumerable bed-spreads
ind rugs , too. The great majority of these
pieces come from outside of Omaha ; no
3nly are the towns of the state well repre
sented , but the villages of Iowa and Illinois
ilso.
ilso.There
There Is not so much drawn work dls
played as there was last year. This i ?
loubtless because this class of work has
been almost abandoned by society , an
sdlet , of ever changing fashion having de-
lared In favor of other forms of fine work.
Still thpre are many articles ofdrawii worV
llsplaycd and the quality of these Is most
jxcellcnt. There are scarfs , center pieces
iprons , pllluw shams , dollies , handkerchiefs
ind drapes , all of uniform excellence and all
lescrvlng of praise.
WITH THE NEEDLE AND THREAD.
No department shows greater Improve
ment over last year than that In which
irtlcles of hand sewing are displayed. There
ire dresses , sunbonncts , fancy aprons , plain
iprons , kitchen aprons and underwear. To
nentlon even the most meritorious articles
n this department would be to extend this
jrlef description beyond Its limits , and to
ommend almost everything displayed. Mrs.
Payne of Palmyra , Mo. , exhibits a hand-
nade shirt that Is most beautifully cm-
jroldcred , the cuffs , collar and bosom show-
ng embroidery of the most delicate pattern ,
flic darning and patching work also forms
good display , and a lot of specimen but-
onholes are of a superior quality. There Is
me patch on cotton done by Mrs. Mary
lope Cabell of Virginia , who Is over 90
-ears old , that would do credit to any young
iouBowifc.
The outline embroidery work has not been
so fashionable among the members of the
air sex during the past year as in former >
-ears , and the display of thU class of work BC :
therefore not so numerous as nt former
fairs. Though the quantity of this work V.
small the quality has not fallen off a whit ,
and If anything the quality of the work Is
better than In previous years. Mrs. Hlbb
shows n , lot of dollies and table covers that
ire especially flue. There are other pieces
that are almcat as fine and would require
much comment were any description at
tempted.
In the case In the center of the hall is
shown a handkerchief of brown silk that
u-as made In thu year 1CC1 , according to the )
aid attached ; it Is exhibited by Mrs. Harr.
silk crepe shawl , shown by Mrs. Kccnan ,
bears the mark. "Paris , 1805 , " and the ap
pearance of the shawl bears out the state f.
ment.
There Is less crochet work than there WHS
the twenty-ninth annual fair , but the
luallty la good. There are carriage robes , .
' afghans , as they were formely called , \
skirts , shawls , tidies , bedroom slippers ,
sacks , socks , mats. Infants' wearing apparel ,
lace and other classes of crochet work' too
numerous to mention , but all uniformly
nerltorlous. The knit work display Is finer
than that of the crochet work , and superior
the similar display of one year ago.
rhcro are bedspreads , bed curtains , lace ,
stockings , socks , bedroom slippers , tidies
ind other forms of knitting that arc eu-
1.
The discretionary class Is almost lucapa-
ilo of description. U Is composed of goods
hat are not provided for In other classes ,
ind Includes almost all forms of woman's
work , from n pincushion to a lampshade.
Much of thn work that Is here entered will Pi
nlss receiving premiums simply because It el
las been entered Improperly. If many of reM
ho exhibitors had entered their work In Hi
ther classes they would have had the pleas , I ) :
ire of carrying around red , blue or yellow ro
ardboards. A piece of homo made cloth , il.
narked "Denmark , 1SC7 , " Is exhibited by il.Mi
lira. Ole Peterson. The wool was raised , cli
ipun and woven with cotton warp by her so
nothcr , Mrs. Emma J. Nlchol , sixty-three pa
-ears ago. There Is much old lace , a lace SI
roll that was. according to the card , made SIMi
1S33 ; handkerchiefs , fichus , collars and of
uffs and coats , and dresses ornamented with se
'inbroldery and lace work , pa
In the center ot the hall Mrs. E , W. paMi

After much hesitation nnd many nils
glvlngs on account of the Inclement weather
of the afternoon , the Scandinavian singers
to the number of 500 went out to the fair
grounds shortly after 3 o'clock. They took
a train ot motor cars and arrived at the
grounds at S-AO. The ofllcers hastened to
apologize for their comparatively smal
crowd by saying that there had been con
siderable misunderstanding after the heavy
noon showers whether or not they would
attempt the trip to the grounds.
When they1 had embarked from the street
cars they formed n long line with ranks
of four , and headed by their own bani
marched Into thu cast gates with colors ul
flying. Thu band was the Northwest Scan
dinavian Union band , compcsed of repre
sentatives of several bands. The leader is
Prof. W. H. Gummert of Sioux Falls , S. D.
the drum major Is J. T. Summers , and the
b'iid consists of twenty-eight pieces. G
Bio Ravemlabl acted as marshal and led
the singers across the wet field to the Court
of Honor.
Hero the band was dismissed and the
chorus took possession of the bandstand
An Impromptu concert , consisting of the
three following choruses , was given under
the direction of Ernest Ncrdlen , In ad
mirable style : "Unge Jcmbyres Live
Nordan , " "Happy as a Bird In the Wood ,
and "Norway. " After the singing of HICK
selections the members of this chorus and
their friends who accompanied them sepa
rated to Inspect the various buildings. An
hour was pleasantly spent In looking nt
the various displays , and then the singers
returned to the Court of Honor and sang
another selection. At fi o'clock they
marched to the cars again and returned to
the city.

There is ono class of pcoplo on the
grounds who do a good deal of kicking and
receive but little sympathy. These nr& the
numerous Individuals and societies dispens
ing solid refreshments to the hungry vis
itors. .
Last year the fair was a llttlo short of
llnner facilities , but the restaurants served
fairly good meal for a quarter and made
money. This year there was a big addi B
tion to their number , and seeing a good
tiling In sight , they proceeded to make the
most of It. Proprietors got together on
the first day and formed a pool by which
the price of breakfasts and suppers re
mained at the old figure , but the dinners
were notched up to u straight CO cunts each.
\3 practically the entire business Is trans
ted at the dinner hour , the slg'nlllcanco of
ho sliding ecalo was apparent. The result
vas that the people who visited the grounds 5.
ivero obliged to pay CO cento for u meal that O
would have been a disgrace to the Red '
3nlon chop house. They resented It , but ; a
did no good and the dinner trust rc-
nalncd unbroken. Then the people quietly '
ook their dinners with them and the rcs- '
auranteura were left with a big lot of sup
ples on their hands. The result was that
goad many of them lost monev , chiefly
a natural result of their own cupidity. II.
Diey thought they had a snap and pro
ceeded to work R for all they were worth , '
mt for once a trust was beaten at Its own
tamo. That Is why a number of down town -3.
hurch organizations arc out of pocket and I.
ho general run , of fair visitors declare that
serves them right.

Rain was again very unkind to the stat

keeping up an Intermittent sputter until

Inest racing card of the week was cffectit-
lly knocked out. The track was In a do-
ilorablo condition and It was deemed uu-
flse to call on the runners even , and regain I.
gain the bill went over another day. This
I afternoon , with the humid god's permission ,
| another attempt will bo made to pull It
off. The races , beginning at 1 o'clock sharp ,
the 2:09 : pace will be on and after that
In as speedy succession as possible the
2:32 : trot , the 2:12 : trot , the 2:35 : and 2-year-
old trots , the whole splendid card to wind
up with a one mile dash running. With
good weather n big crowd will be on hand
to witness the closing bill for the summer.

After much tribulation and work the
Judges have at last arrlvet lit a conclusion
on the award of places for county exhibits :
Washington county receives first , Thayer
second , Cumlng third , and Nemaha fourth.
The judges found the making of the award
anything but an easy ; ask. Each ot the
many counties had such an endless variety
and the products were all of such high
grade that In judging them the committee
was compelled to exercise the utmost care.
Samples uf grain were weighed and ro-
weighed , rorn measured and rcmcasurcd , un
til It scomod that the moro they looked
the more the Judges wore uncertain. When
at last all the notes were compared and the
points scored on each separate article. It
gave the result heretofore mentioned.
The Washington county exhibit , which was
accorded flrst place. Is all the work of
Messrs. llallard of Blair , so far as the col
lecting nnd arrangement of the exhibit Is
concerned. A. N. llallard designed the dis
play , and It was put up according to his
Ideas and under his personal supervision.
There Is not the dissatisfaction manifested
among the exhibitors this year that was
shown last. Each one of them. ct course , had
hoped to socuri ) a place , but there were
only four premiums and there were a large
number of separate exhibits. The Judges
are given credit for making n careful and
painstaking examination of the various dis
plays , nnd those * who did not get n place
simply say they will come back next year
and try It again , and , lu the light of the ex
perience lu collecting and arranging displays
gallied this year , hope for more favorable
results. In scoring for the awards there
were so many points allowed for attractive
ness ot arrangement and so many for quality
of the products shown.

There was a great crowd around the band
stand In the Court of Honor Thursday after
noon to see the annual baby show. There
are always those who consider this Insti
tution a necessary adjunct to a state fair.
The crowd of Interested spectators may
change from year to year , but It always In
cludes a large number of fond mothers who
have very decided views concerning the
superior beauty of their own children.
Thursday was no exception to the rule , and
when 2 o'clock , the hour appointed for the
contest , arrived there were thirty young
Nebraskans , all under 2 years of age , thirty
proud mothers and a largo number of spec
tators present.
L. A. Beccher of Ncllgh , who has had
charge of this work for the past nine years ,
acted as superintendent and performed his
rather delicate task In a most cinelent man
ner. After the thirty boys and girls , a ma
jority of whom were born In Omaha , had
been brought before the Judge and their
Individual styles of beauty studied , these
two awards were mado. for the handsomest
boy nnd the handsomest girl : Boy , Juul

Yesterday the outgoing trains on all the
railroads carried largo crowds ot state fair
visitors. A special train was made up on
the Union Paclflc during the afternoon and
also one on the Burlington. They werw
both crowded. Thursday evening at the
conclusion of the Ak-Sar-tlcn parade ten
special trains carried homeward the pcoplo
who came here merely to witness the pa
geant.
The railroad men report this year's traf
fic unusually heavy , and although the union
depot was taxed at times to thu limit , the
disagreeable -features consequent upon such
large gatherings were avoided In a measure
by the admirable terminal accommodations
given at the fair grounds. A great number
of the people went directly to the grounds ,
afterward coming to the city by motors and
other means of conveyance. In this man
ner the usual crush at the depots was
avoided and the visitors were handled easily
and comfortably by the road otllclals.

The music of the spheres seems less Im

When so gently ami completely ye are

Oh , tenant of the atmosphere and dweller

Then let us oJose our hearts to earn and
