the OntUN ,
The thirtieth nnnunl state fair Is over. A
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the gates wer
dosed , the offices of the managers wer
transferred down town and the exhibitor
began to park and ship their goods prc
parotory to leaving the big1 grounds to an
other ye.tr of desolation. The bulk of the ex
lilblts were removed last night and only n
few remnants remain on the grounds today
The cml of the exposition will not lenv
33 largo a balance on the right side of th
li'dgci' as was expected. It had been a wcel
of generally unfavorable weather , with jus
ono perfect day to offset two days pr.ictl
cally spoiled by rain. Just how much thos
two days cnat the fair association It Is illfllcul
to tell. The officers are unwilling to say
exactly where they stand. They say tha
it will require an examination of the book
and a general auditing of their accounts to
reveal the exact situation , and until then
they prefer not to commit themselves. They
Bay merely that the fair has been lc.su suc
cessful than a year ago from a ilnaneln
point of view ,
Secretary Furnas saya that this Is the
first time In the history of Nebraska state
fairs that anything has occurred to kcci
the crowds away on Wednesday or Thuis
day. Whatever they may have lacked on
other days , they have always had two goo' '
crowds. Hut this time , while Thursday
wns the biggest day ever known at a No
braslfa stifle fair , Wednesday was marre.
bv the rain , which effectively depopulatci
the grounds.
NOT A LUCKY DAY.
The experiment of holding the fair over
on Saturday was tried this year for the
first time * , and H Is not llkoly that It wll
bo continued. Not only does the plan
seriously embarrass the exhibitors , who are
thus left only a few hours In which to re
move their exhibits before Sunday , but Judg
ing by yesterday's attendance the people are
not disposed to patronize an extra day.
Although the weather was everything
to he desired , the grounds were prac
tically deserted. The entire forenoon
attendance , exclusive of the people who
wcro connected In some way with the en
tcrprlse , did not exceed 1,000. Them were
a few scattered groups on the sunny side of
the Court of Honor , but the big buildings
were painfully empty , and the fair might as
well have been located In Siberia , so
far as any semblance of life or ac
tivity was concerned , The Arapahoe
band gave the usual morning concert
but there were few people to listen , and the
musicians played in a perfunctory way , as
though It was merely a matter of farm In
order to carry out their contract. The Nor
folk band played a selection or two In front
of the Administration building , and then
each organization gave three cheers for the
other by way of breaking In on the general
silence and monotony. Nearly all the
Judges had completed their work and the
only occupants of most of the buildings
were two or three loiterers who acted as
though they were there because they had
nowhcro else to go. .
The fact that the best card of races of
the week was to bo run off in the afternoon
helped to bring out a good many people later
In the day. Hut it was almost exclusively
a race crowd and seemed to add but little to
the general population of the grounds. Dur
ing the afternoon the exhibitors began to
got ready to break up and their bustling
activity was a sharp contrast with the leth
argy that seemed to prevail In every other
quarter. All the stock that was to go to
the Des Molnes fair was moved the night
bcforo and about all of that class that was
left on the grounds over night was a couple
of bundle's of sheep and u tot of horses ,
which wcro held In order to make better con
nections. All the stock that was not for
warded to Des Molnes went homo again , ex
cept the race horses , which were shipped to
St. Joseph , where there is a big meet this
week. The poultry was moved out of the way
early and the bulk of the fish exhibit was
shipped during the evening. There was a
good deal of stuff In the Art and Textile
buildings which required some time In pack
ing and some of it will probably not be taken
out until MondayA The restauranteurs and
other fakirs moved out as soon as the last
chance to make a dollar departed and by
dork the grounds scarcely offered a reminder -
minder of the busy scenes of the week.

The celebrated McCook band , which has
been delighting the residents and visitors
luring the fair with its splendid music in
he street parades during the past week ,
avored The Bee with a serenade concert In
he court of The Bee building last night. A
argo number of people followed the band
nto the building and the first strains of the
mule attracted more people , until the court
and galleries were crowded with an admiring
hrong which applauded every number and
showed its appreciation In many ways.
The flrst number on the program was the
nagnlflcent overture of Semiramlde , a most
llfllcult number and ono calculated to tax
ho skill of almost any musical organization ,
t was played with a smoothness of execu-
Inn and beauty of orchestral effect that
vould have done credit to any of the old-
established , professional organizations ,
This was followed by a "Flower Song , " a
mstoral number full ot harmony , which was
ilayed with admirable effect. "Venus
loigen , " a pleasing waltz number , demon
strated that the repertoire of the band was
of a most diversified character. A piccolo
solo , "Through the Air , " was the next num-
) er , the soloist being ono of the youngest
ncmbers of the band , Roy Smith. His play-
ng was of a high order and ho was loudly
applauded ,
"On the Midway Plalsance , " a descriptive
ileeo , was rendered In an acceptable nian-
u r. being one of those musical creations
vhlch words could not adequately describe
The last number was n rattling march , "The
Chicago Tribune , " which went with snap
and vigor.
The McCook band has been organized
ibout four years , starting with n small iium-
jor of men and Increasing gradually until
t now numbers twenty-seven pieces , both
iraas and reed. The members provide their
own Instruments and uniforms and it need
only be said that both Instruments and unl
orms are of a superior kind , the Instruments
all being silver-plated and of an excellent
nako. 'Jho leader of the band Is II. P. Sut-
on , a Jeweler of McCook , and all of the
ncmbers are business men of the thriving
vcstorn town , all mercantile Hues being
opresentcd among the members. The band
s the pride of the > town and It Is a musical
organization which' ' Would do credit to any
netropolltan city.rl

The convention of the Northwestern Scan

to order at 10:30 : o'clock yesterday morn
ing In ono ot the halls , although It was to
have assembled at 0 o'clock. President C
J. Johnson of this city was In the chair.
A committee on credentials , G. U. Havn-

Owing to the absence of the recording
secretary G. H. Klland was unanimously
elected to the position.
The minutes of the last biennial conven
tion nt Sioux Falls in 1891 were read and
approved.
The flrst matter that provoked a discussion
was brought tip by Dr. Johnson of Madison ,
who moved to reconsider the decision of
the last session by which the association
was made a member of the United Scandi
navian Singers of America. Dr. Johnson
maintained that the Invitation on the part
of the United Singers was simply a scheme
to kill the Northwestern association , lie
said that the United Singers wcro already
boasting of having swallowed the associa
tion since the latter became a member.
DESERTS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
This sentiment was held by others and it
prevailed unanimously. A letter from the
United Singers expressing fcllcltudo at the
union ot the two societies had no effect.
The motloi was carried , and then the orig
inal matter was placed upon the table. This
action severs the association from any con
nection with the United Scandinavian Sing
ers of America.
A committee , consisting of D. H. Harmon of
Sioux Falls , S. D. ; C. P. Nordwall of Omaha
and I. Jackewitz ot Decorah , was elected and
authorized to draw up a set of resolutions
to inform the Union Singers that the action
was taken because the Northwestern asso
ciation did not care to bo hampered. In the
same resolution greetings and well wishes
were sent to the organization.
The Normanna sangerkor of North La
Crosse , WIs. , the oldest Norwegian singing
society In the west , applied for membership
and was admitted. Much self-congratula
tion was evident among the delegates that
the society had been captured.
Greetings were received from the Nord-
mondcncs aangforenlug of Minneapolis , and
Musical Director Erik Oulls of the United
Scandinavian Singers of America.
A communication was received from the
executive committee of the Olc Hull Monument
ment association of Minneapolis appealing
for subscriptions for the monument and also
Inviting the association to take a part In
the unveiling of the monument In Minoapo-
lls on May 17 , next. The communication
was placed on file.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
No Invitations being on hand , the selection
of the place for holding the next festival In
1898 was left for the consideration of the
next convention , which was scheduled to be
held in Minneapolis on May 17 , 1897.
As no place was selected for the ne\l
festival and as It Is always the custom to
Bclect the president from the festival city , it
was determined to elect olllcers for one
year or until the uext convention. Instead
of for the usual term of t-1o years.
The following are the olllcers elected :

On July 13 last tlio city council passed an
ordinance compelling the Omaha Street Hall
way company to replace Its wooden poles
with iron ones. Sixty days was the time
given the company by the ordinance In
which to do the work. Next Sunday the
tlrao will have expired and up to the pres
ent date the street car company has not
nado any attempt to comply with the pro
visions of the ordinance. This ordinance was
ntrodttced by Hyland anil was one of a
number Introduced for the purpose of forc-
ng the company to do something about cx-
endlng the car service urounil the Third
and Fourth wards. It Is understood that
ho street car people do not Intend to sub
stitute Iron poles for wouacn ones nil at
once. When the ordinance was under con
sideration officials of the .company stated
that they would bo willing to replace the
wooden poles with lion ones as fast as the
ircscnt wooden poles needed replacing. This
llil not satisfy the council and the ordinance
vaa passed and bccamo a law. The com
pany says it Is willing now to do just what
t offered to do before the passage of the
ordinance , and that Is to replace wooden
) olcs with iron when these now In use are
10 longer fit for service. Just what the
council will do in regard to the matter rn a
question , A fight In the courts will bo the
outcome unless the ordinance Is repealed.
Just at present there are two ordinances
lung up in the council which relate to the
street car company. One is the 3 cent fare
ordinance and the other < b tho. taxing of
clcgraph , telephone and motor poles. These
wo ordinances were laid on the shelf some
Imo ago in order to glvo the directors of
ho company an opportunity of discussing the
imposition of extending the line out-Q
street to Thirty-third and back to Twcnty-
ourth street on L ( street. No report has
over been made to the council of any action
alien by the directors nd so week after
week the council agrees to pass these or-
linanccs , and the people arc beginning to
\ondor why the cnuncllmen liavo suddenly
appeared to lose all Interest In the project.
