The Interest In the exhibit at the Agri
cultural building continues unabated and ex
pressions of admiration for the display which
la made there can bo heard everywhere.
Pcoplo who live In Nebraska seem to derive
a source of comfortable satisfaction In view
ing the remarkable products of the soil of
the state nml never appear to become sati
ated with the sight-seeing devoted to thli
particular building on the fair grounds. To
name extent the exhibit takes the form of
a tnnlc , and not only confirms the faith of
those who have always been loyal to the
Antelope fitate , but strengthens those who
liavo been disposed to weaken nnil abandon
It. No one who visits the building this
year Is ashamed to let It be known to all
tint he lives In Nebraska no matter
whether hlr homo Is down on the Kansas
bonier , within the shadow of the hills of
Colorado or within touch of the wheat fields
Of § Dakota. They all have something this
year In the way of product ! ) to bring com
fort and satisfaction mid do not hesitate
to call attention to them.
Fortunately , too , theio Is nn opportunity
this year fur contrast. In the Agricultural
building there , are exhibits from Canada.
Kansas , Oklahoma and Texas , and on stieli
crops where the s.ntes are equal In condi
tions for the culture Nebraska tukcs no
second place The exhibits from these out-
eldo locilltles were gathered with a. view
to Hhowing the resources of those sections ,
nnd have for their purpose the securing of
Immigration and It la not unfair to bay that
the exhibits were gathered with especial
care , so as to make the best Impression pos-
Blble On the other hand many of the ex-
liIbllB from Nc'br akn were gathered hur-
rlftrtly and do not show the best that intent
Ime been seemed Notwithstanding these

crop will do well In Hut locality. Samples
of wheat show this crop to have been good ,
while the corn exhibit Is weak , for the same

the acre. There are samples of wheat which
yielded from eighteen to twenty-four bush
els , and oats producing thirty-five to slxty
bushels. Gage also come < v to the front with
an exhibit of alfalfa grown on upland , which
Is of the best quality. The exhibit , as a
whole , covers everything of an agricultural
nature , and shows the great resources of a
great county.
This closes the exhibits by Nebraska coun
ties and Includes exhibits made by Canada
and Shaw nee county , Kansas , all of which
have been mentioned Individually. There Is
yet one more exhibit In the building to bo
detailed to make the repoit complete. Th.it
is the display of products along the Rock
Is'and road In Kansas , Oklahoma and Texas ,
made by the passenger department of the
road. It Is largely of nn advertising charac-
tcr , booming the lands along that line of
load , but It has merit as un educational ex
hibit. For Instance , there Is a cotton plant
from northern Texas with the bolls opening
showing the cotton In Its natural state. The
exhibit Is marked by n very pretty sign made
from grains. It Is in the shape of an ellipse
bordered by wheat heads , the larger letters I i
being made of sections of field corn , and the I
smaller ones of sections of popcorn. Sami i
pics of wheat , corn and cotton are nhown
from Oklahoma which are said to bo culti
vated side by side. An exhibit of wheat la
made from Sumncr county , Kan. , and it Is i
asserted that this county Is the banner wheat i
county in the world this year , having about I j |
5 000,000 bushels to market after supplying
the local demand. Peaches are shown from i I
Oklahoma canned , as the collection was made I
too late to get the fresh fruit. There nru '
melons alto , which are alleged to weigh fioni
SO to 100 pounds. It Is certain that they
are eo large that they must bo seen to bo
appreciated. An assortment of katllr and
Egyptian corn Is bhown and the merit of it
Is explained in the statement that It grows
quickly , and that If for any reason the other
feed crops fall these are planted and develop
In time for use In the fall. The Egyptian
corn Is similar In appearance to the kalllr.
Like the other exhibits from outsldo the
state , this display by the Rock Island at
tracts coi.ulderable attention from the vis
itors to the fair.

The Importance and extent of the llvo
stock exhibit this year Is shown to a degree
by the constant stream of people who drift
Into that portion of the grounds to look at
the many excellent animals there on display.
There Is but one opinion as to the merit ot
the exhibit as a whole , and that Is that it
beats the record for several years.
It is to ba admitted that the horse show Is
not what It has been In the past , but It Is
better than It has been for n couple of years ,
especially as to slzo of the exhibit , and while
horsemen hero at the fair say that this de
ficiency Is duo almost entirely to the depressed -
pressed condition of the horse market , they
assort that there Is a steady Improvement
going on and that the price of certain breeds
of hoiscs will gradually creep upward. The
breeds referred to are the draft horse and
those animals raised for export. These the
horsemen state uro oven now bringing good
prices , but that the market will Improve as
the quality of the horse Improves. It Is
notli-cablo that there are qulto a number of
draft horses on exhibit ,
'the show of sheep (9 ( not large , but It
never has been and the exhibit this yen-
Is equally as gooJ as In the past years For
some icjhnn the farmers liavo not taken
kindly to the thoroughbred variety of this
animal. Whllo many of them have great
herds of sheep , the animals aio not of the
pedigreed kind and have no place nt a
State fair. The two largest exhibits this
year are of Shropahlrps , one of forty-live
head from Minnesota and the other of fifty
head from Le\liiKtnn , Neb. But vvhllu the
sheep occupy bin little over two of the barns
on the grounds , they receive their slure of
attention from the visitors , as there U some
thing about the animal which Is attractive
to the great majority of people
The cattle and hogs are out of sight , to
use a stieet term. There are hogs In the
pens which weigh close to 800 pounds and
bullb which are so large as to almost rcsem
bio some pichUtoric mastodon It Is evi
dent from the exhibits that the Poland China
hogs are the most popular with western
breeders , while the Duroc-Jersoys come next
In the cattle exhibit the Jer eys lead , with
thn Shorthorns second lint with both anl
maU the breeds represented at the fair show
up wall , and have their special friends among
the vUltors. There are a number of animals
In both exhibits which have been premium
winners at other fairs. Indicating their high
merit The price at which some of them are
held by their owners seem fabulous , but as
they brlue U umong men devoted to the
business , they rfiust'bo ' worth It. The owner
of one pretty Jersey'cow ' three years old said
ho didn't want to ifut a price upon It , but
that nothing under $700 would bo consideicd.
Young Poland China pigs sold on the grounds
1 for $25 each. But "the secret In the merit of
the live stock exhibit Is the thoughbrcd qualIty -
Ity of the animals , and while this counts for
j little with those who recognize all cattle as
' just cattle and all hogs as Just hogs , It Is a
] big thing to the expert , and they are the
ones principally Interested

W J Hcsser announced that his exhibit
was complete , but that ho would have had a
much large ronu if tpacu had not been so
cramped Ills own display was forced I'lto
the Horticultural building
The tirst display which attracts attention
Is that of B. Haas of Omaha. Palms pre
dominate and make a beautiful background
for bis other plants. Among the palms he
has five varieties , all of them rare. FlowerIng -
Ing begonias and the rex variety of the --amo
family he has In piofuslon The varlegateu
century plant is at all times an object of
curiosity to the sightseer. The collection
includes beveral of these peculiar plants.
The cycas or Japanese palm , small In sta'ure ,
though exceedingly delicate In the outline
of its leaves , Is worthy ot more than a tare-
less glance and the pomegranates , with their
small red ( lowers shooting up from the
mammoth stem , lend Interest to a collection
Peterbon Brothers of this city have a large
display "on the south sldo of the building
The tapering leaves of the stalely palmetto
are the hrst thing which arrests the gaze.
Palms flank thlc * section of the display on
either hard , and about the base cluster
arcla lustcscens and many of the smaller
plants. The pandamus , the Chill pine and
the spiral pine complete the foliage section
of the display Of the cut flower varieties
there are legion. A special effort has been
made In the display toward the varieties of
ca'-nations and geraniums. Nearly all of the
last named are In full bloom and form one
of the most attractive portions ot the ball

Whllo the ground ? were thronged with
children Tuesday many wandered away
from their elders and were lost for a con
siderable time Most of them , however ,
weio located later Among thoflo reported
to the police were Agnes Ruiimells and Carl
Young. They were located after leaving the
grounds.
Yesterday a couple of young tougha ,
glvli.g the names of Chat ten Robblns and It.
Bodak , crept through the fences and at-
tempted to smash several exhibits In the
Farm Implement sertlon. They weio run
off tlio grounds. This did not suffice , how
ever , for the boys were boit on creating
trouble. They adjouined to thn miln gatca
and began abutting the k epoui. They were
locked up al the station and will probably
1)0 sent to the city police station.
Suptilntomlc.nt of I'jlico Pace was culled
upon TucHday to stop a full-fledged crap
game A number of voung negroes employed
IT the side shows secured a long table and
lacking out a quiet place honth of the Mer
cantile building began to throw the bones.
A eoiiplo of specials ordered them to do-
slst , but the negroes showed light Super-
Intmdent Pace accordingly sent n do/en of

lawbreakers with Imprisonment. This had
the desired effect.
It's a dandy ! It is beautifully made of basket cloth
cheviot , wool fibers , inter-woven of a blue and brown
mixture , leatherine Itnings , sewed on the inside with
waxed linen thread , and the outside with the best dyed
silk the style1 is this season's most popular one. We
have examined this suit through and through and we
have concluded that it is a genuine honest suit of
clothes , clear to the core and selling it at $6.00 may
not be a short cut to fortune but it's a way of ours to
acquire that enviable reputation , which is alike honor
able to a manly firm , and profitable as well.
