There was the greatest crowd of people In
Omaha yesterday that there has been nlnco

gates , here last year. They cama from all
directions , and they constituted an advance
guard of such splendid proportions thil the
success of the thirty-first annual State fair
of Nebraska would appear to bo elevated be
yond the realm of doubt.
The government's weather bureau had pre.
dieted flno weather for this locality yester
day and Mr. Welsh more than mi do his.
word go-d. It was such a thoroughly de
lightful day that people forgot they lived
In houses , and kept out of doors to enjoy
the sunshine tempered with a cool autumnal
breeze. It was a rare day , and the public
appeared to appreciate that fact and took
every advantage of It. Before the first
chimes called the worshipers to divine serv
ice wheelmen nnd wuoelwomcn , equestrians
and drivers. In addition to pedestrians galore ,
wore out to enjoy the day. Most of them
remained out late , and some did not come
homo until morning.
A vast concourse of people listened to the
sacred concert In Falrtnount park , Council
HlufTs. with considerable pleasure. Some
Idea of the trafnc to that point may bo ob
tained from the statement that the registers
of the bridge line cars showed that over
19,000 fared had been collected between the
hours of 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. All the rail
roads brought great numbers of visitors
Into the city. There was no special Sunday
excursion on any one railroad , but all of
them yesterday commenced to bring In the
State fair crowd , and thus far exceeds In
numbcra at least any Sunday excursion.
The afternoon train of the HurllnKtoii was
three hours late owing to the heavy tralflc ,
and when It came In It carried fourteen
coaches filled with passengers , whllo many
more stood on the platforms. All the hotels
began to fill up rapidly yesterday , and It Is
currently reported that In many of them all
the rooms are engaged for throughout State
fair week.
There was a goodly number of State fair
folk on the streets down town last evening.
There was no general Illumination of the city
os had been previously planned and an
nounced. A few of tha buildings turned on
their lights , and the visitors had a fore
taste of the grandeur of the Illumination
this evening. Crowds gathered about the
corner of Fifteenth and Farnam streets , and
Interestedly gazed on the labors of the score
of workmen who tolled all night Uylng the
floor and completing other interior wood
work In jtho new structure now building
there. Across the street the Illumination by
the "Qulncy Ilonto" attracted much attention
The skillful minngr In which Harry Moores
had draped his window and Illuminated a
big picture of the steamship 'Normannla
called for/grcat praise.

"The Last Chance" Is the title of the
comedy that will be placed on the stage of
Ak-Snr-Den tonight. This evenings per
formance at the big den of the Knights of
Ak-Snr-Hcn will conclude the engagement of
the troupe that has made over 1,000
trembling citizens pass through hunt ordeals.
Indications point to the largest attendance
that ever witnessed the Initiatory exercises
of his mightiness , Ak-Sar-Hcn III. The sale
of scats for thla evening's performance has
been tromendouH , but It Is announced at the
b/ix office that there are still a few more re-
srvcd scats left on the chart.
The title of the play on the boards for to
night Is explained by an announcement ol
the Hoard of Governors that this cveulng'o
ceremonies will be the last opportunity for
any male citizen reuldlng within the confines
of the kingdom of Ak-Sar-nen III to seek ad
mission to court circles. If ho should fall
to enter tonight the gates of the kingdom are
fbrover to bo barred against him. This
barrier Is uioro potent than would appear at
a superficial glance. Already a number of
merchants , professional men and railroaders
who have been prevented from associating
themselves with the Knights of Ak-Sar-Hen
earlier In the season have made application
to see the veiled mysteries this evening , and
It Is expected that there will bo a general
roundup of all the delinquents before the
hour of midnight has arrived.

YORK , Neb. , Sept. 19. ( Special. ) Tlio
Woman's Homo Missionary society had
charge of the exercises at the Methodist
conference yesterday afternoon. The prin
cipal address , given by .Mrs. J. R. Woodcock
of Tecumseh , was on excellent one. Mrs.
Woodcock told of the scope nnd work of the
society and dwelt upon the great need of
further efforts throughout the field. She has
acquainted herself with the field , ot work
and was able to show effectively the work
that had been done and that which yet re
mained to bo done.
The speaker distinguished between the
homo missionary society and the foreign
missions by relating them to each other.
Iloth proceed from the same source , they are
actuated by the same desire , but the work
ot ono lies at homo and the other In faraway
Unds. Mr * . Woodcock has evidently traveled
extensively. She gave a splendid description
of life In Chinatown , San Francisco. She
told , In vivid words of the Ignorance , orlmo.
poverty and filth of that settlement. In
Now York , said she. wo find crowded tene
ments that are almost unendurable , but there
Is one consolation to Its denizens In that the
lofty buildings at least go heavenward. In
Chinatown the tenements are fully as
crowded and as dirty and pestilent , but In
stead of the flights of stairs leading to In
numerable stories upward they go down Into
the bowels of the earth , where hardly a rat
can survive.
SRNT RY GOD TO ALASKA.
Mrs. Woodcock spoke of the work In
Alaska. She told how ono little mission
had been planted there , how It had grown
and what a good work It was doing. In
speaking of the recent gold discoveries
there Mrs. Woodcock thinks that It was the
hand of God that directed the gold hunters
to that spot In order that the work of the
missionary might prosper. The speaker
paid a high tribute to the efficiency of the
Mothers' Jewels' Homo at thla place. This
U the national home of the society , where
the waifs of the great cities nnd the home
less boys and girls of the land nnd a shel
ter and a homo. Although the Institution
has but recently been established. It has
already assumed proportions that speak for
Ita usefulness In the years to come. There
are now In the homo over fifty children.
At the request of Mr. and Mrs. H. Spur-
lock , the superintendents ot the home , the
members of the conference and visitors vis
ited the home , where a reception was ten
dered them. A great crowd attended and
were shown through the buildings and over
the grounds to their evident pleasure and
surprise. The annual business meeting of
the society for this conference was held in
ono of the reception rooms at the home af
ter the reception.
FRKBDMAN'S AID SOCIETY.

Freedman Aid nnd. Southern Educational
society was delivered last night before an
audience that packed the largo church. Dr.

came within two votes of being elected
bishop at the last general conference. He
Is n fine orator and hold the closest atten
tion. Ho Is the assistant secretary ot the
Freedman Aid society and as such he Is
qualified to speak authoritatively upon Us
work. The speaker gave a brief sketch of
Its original history and told of the dltncul-
tles that have beset It In Its work. This is
the twenty-ninth year of Its career and the
results accomplished In that time have been
great. There are today In the southland
forty-six colleges and Institutions of learn
ing for the negro. These inotitutions have
turned out 'over 100,000 graduates , 17,000
teachers and C.OOO preachers , whose Influ
ence and efforts have well nigh changed itie
status of the entire colored population of
the south. The doctor made an eloquent
plea for the negro and for the obliteration
of race distinction.
DISHOP NINDE'S SERMON.
After the conference love feast this morn
ing nishop Ninde .preached . , a strong sermon
on the text "Lord , what will Thou have me
Do ? " He drew lessci s from Paul's life
and dwelt upon the duties that confront
the Chrlstlan.3. He spoke of the broadening
field of duty and the increasing responsi
bility Involved. He discussed Christian so
cialism and discriminated between it and
humanitarlanlsm. He believes skepticism Is
no longer a menace to > christlanlsm , owing
to the prevalency of the belief In a God.
This afternoon the bishop ordained twelve
' .eacons and elders.

CHAMI1ERLAIN , S. D. , Sept. 19. ( Spe
clal. ) John H. Ktag of thla city , agent of
South Dakota In the claims pending against
the federal government , has Just made a
report to Governor Leo of the present
status of the various claims against the
government. There arc several of these
claims , amciig them the demand for B per
cent of the amounts paid the general km
office by settlera fo.1 lend's In the ceded portion
tion of the Sioux , Slsseton and Wahpeton
and Yanklon Indian reservations. The al
lowance of this claim would give the state
about $10,000. Another claim Is for 5 per
cent of the aggregate amount , based upon
the sum of $1.25 per acre , for all lands
embraced in Iho Pine Ridge , Rose
bud , Lower Ilrule. Crow Creek , Chey
enne River and Standing Rock reserva
tions , situated within the slate. The amount
claimed by the state by virtue of this Is
about $750,000. The state also clalinn a
percentage of the value ) of the lands allotted
to Indians on the1 Slsacton and Y&nkton res
ervations.
The claim based upon the land embraced
In Indian reservations Is , of course , the most
Important , both as to the legal points and
amount Involved. The .precedent for the pay
ment of this claim was established by con
gress In 1855 , when the claim of Alabama on
similar grounds was gmiteci , and by an act
of crrigres1 ! of March 3 , 1857 , granting the
same benefits to Mississippi and other states.
Slnco that tlmo the sum of $9,292,453.89 haa
been paid to six southern and seven middM
states under thlj tr.d supplementary acts.
A strong point raised 'by ' Mr. King for the
allowance of South Dakota's claim Is that
the Indians , being wards of the whole people
ple , are , when placed cm reservations In any
particular state , occupants of lands which
would otherwise tye taxable and pny a reve

The law granting , the claims of Alabama ,
Mississippi nnd other states , among other
things , says : " ' nd shall allow and
pay to each state such amount as shall thus
be found to be due ? estimating all lands and
permanent reservations at $1.25 per acre. "
This act has 'never1 been repealed or modi
fied , lint Coillmlssloner Sparks of the gen
eral land olHce InSSG refused to continue
the payment " "of money to the new states
under Its provisions. In this ho was sus
tained by Secrctnrr Lamar , It being held
, that the act 'o ! 1S57 applied only ! i to the
states then in" the 'iirilon. In vluwof this
the states of 'South YDaKot3 , Idaho , . Ala
bama , Colorado , Kansas , Oregon , Nevada ,
Minnesota , Illinois , Indiana , Iowa and Cali
fornia decided that the beft method of securing -
curing their rights under the act was to
apply to congiesa for relief. Accordingly
State 'Agent King and the authorized agenta
of the other states mentioned formulated a
bill nnd an argument and presented the
same to the last congress , together with all
Information bearing upon the legality , equity
and Justice of the claims. Good progress has
been 'made 'In the United State ? senate , and
during the next congress the claims will bo.
pressed as vigorously as possible , with good
prospects of success , Mr. King U exper
ienced In the routine of business before con

prosecute the claims , he will be enabled to
complete the work which he has begun.

attorney general , referring to the Investiga
tion of the report nf State Examiner Marls
Taylor , relative to the shortage In the state
auditor's olllce , said :
"I have notified the governor that after
comparing Taylor's report with the books or

that I cannot rely upon the correctness ot

[ could not make an examination of the

this , but I am thoroughly satisfied that Mr.
Taylor s report Is not correct and until a
rigid examination Is made and a shortage
really found to exist I shall not proceed with
any suits. I understand also that ex-Auditor

AMUSEMENTS.
That gem of Irish farce-comedy , "Mc-
SoMey s Twins , " opened a week's engagement
yesterday at Hoyd's , playing twti perform ,
nnccs to very satisfactory business. The
piece Is practically unchanged B.AVO In. respect ,
to the cast , which Includes this year the two
well known Irish comedians , John Tlerni-y
nud ilark Murphy , who have been now fur
n good many years diverting audiences with
their differing styles of humor , and that
genuine artist nnd always acceptable per
former , Marie Stuart. Nat M. Wills does a
tramp turn , Ilorwltz and Bowers glvo SOURS
nnd Imitations and Marguerite Ferguson
shows herself a clever dancing sotibrette.
whllo the Addis sisters constitute a charming
feature of the performance. There is abund
ance of light and catchy music , and alto
gether the entertainment ought to attract
good pationagc during fair week.
A largo crowd attended the opening per
formance of Hoyt's "A Milk White Flag" at
the Crclghton last night , and SAW Iho
beauties of that drama unfolded by n very
competent company , which Includes some
members of far more than ordinary ability.
The piece Is remembered from a former looil
presentation , and Is known to bo a carica
ture , of thu kind peculiar to Mr. Iloyt , of the
American citizen soldiery and , Incidentally ,
of death , bereavement , the domestic iclatlons
and other foibles which draw the lightning
of the author's delicate wit. Who but Mr ,
Iloyt could conceive , for Instance , that
startling- ! natural scene where the soubrctto
executes a skirt dance for the delectation ot
the soldiers who have come to arrange for the
funeral of her father , supposed to be lying
dead In the next room ? The keenness of the
satire on filial affection Is such ns to in-ne.
trato the dullest comprehension.
The company Is generally adequate to the
demands made upon it. Since stage trumps
must be , Oscar Hall docs much to reconcile
public taste to the monstrosity. Some of his
feats of agility approach the marvelous. And
the hit of the entertainment Is unquestion
ably made by that airy llttlo sprite , Mary
Marble , who Is an artist from the IOCH of her
dainty shoes nil of four feet to the crown ot
her sunny head , and In whatever guise never
falls to captivate and charm.
"A Milk White Flag" will wave through
out the week nt tlio Crclghton , and largo
audiences will doubtless gather under Ita
folds.
At both theaters , on the nights of parades ,
the curtain will bo held until nfter the street
display Is over , no matter how late. This
will make it possible to stw the whole of the
parades without missing any of the stngo
performance.
