Klatcd and satlafled the State fair mana
gers tonlj estimated the attendance ut
the State fair at 20,000. Karly this morning
excursion trains began arriving and long
I) foru tho mlddlo of tho forenoon tho street
ears, loaded down with passengers, were
making their way over tho rough track
toward tho fair grounds. Cars were run at
three-minute Intervals all day long.
Itnllroad olllclals woro taken by surprleo
and had to hustlo out extra excursion trains
to get the people Into tho city. Many ex
tras consisted of coaches, freight cars und
cabocs(H mixed up Indlscrlmately and drawn
by two engines. Old fair patrons shook
their bonds and admitted they hadn't rcen
anything like It.
Tho board of managers today visited each
exhibitor en the grounds. They found tho
patrons well pleased and declaring that they
would be on hand to attend the fair next j
year. i
Tho Immenso mob of people quickly kicked
up a couple of Inches of dust all over the
fair grounds early In tho forenoon, boon
tho wind began blowing from tho south
ti ml tho loose dirt arose In great clouds.
Tho street oprlnklers were called upon to
battle with the wind and in a few hours
had tho dust under control and the surface
of tho grounds well dampened. Clouds of
dust kept blowing In from the region out
side the fence, however, and annoyed the
plcasurc-scckots throughout tho day.
Tomorrow tho Judges will finish making
the final awards and then the lists will bo
tabulated. Lincoln day will bo celebrated
tomorrow nud Friday the work of removal
t,wllUb!Sln...,
ij The managors expect an Increased at
tendance tomorrow, claiming that railroad
excursions will ,cope from various sections
of tho state- not reached by tho excursion
trains tcday.
Ncorntnry Wilson Silent.
In spite of (ho cordial telegram sent to
Secretary Wilson at the national capital last
Monday opening, there lias ns yet been no
reply from tho seat of government. Some
lmvo said that Mr. Wlleon Is out of the city
and tho Invitation did not reach him.
Others claim that the press dispatches say
that the secretary Is at his desk In Wash
ington and did not reply to the communica
tion from the board of managers because
he Is "n trllle sensitive on the subject of
corn belts, their size and oxteut In the west.
Ills Ideas have also radically changed In re
gard to "arid regions," declare tho stato
fair men. Perhaps the bucklo broke when
he was fixing up his new corn belt, and he
had to stay over and tlx It. Leastwise a
careful search of tho grounds failed to
locate tho secretary.
Up to noon today thb policemen at tho fair
grounds had met with no cases of lawless
ness, Fifty youngsters who have been de
termined to avoid tho prescribed fee at;d
tried to worm through tho openings of tho
fence have been apprehended. Some, of them
had the price of admission and were ps
eorted to the gate whore they paid the regu
lation entrance fee. Those who wero
"broke" nnd ypt manifested a desire to get
on the inside In defiance of tho police and
the recognized moral principles Involved,
have been summarily ejected nnd warned
not (o repeat the performance. No cose of
po-ket picking have been reported and as
yet there has been no act of violence.
The penitentiary attracts a great many of
tha visitors to the state fair. Yesterday 700
pcoplu were shown through tho Institution.
Today the visitors grently exceeded that
, number. A fee of 10 rents is charged each
person nnd with tho proceeds thojirlson
llbrory will be resiocked. The lire last
winter is credited with being tho cause of
tho unusual Interest In the Institution.
Nearly all state, ccunty nnd city ofllceo
were closed this nfternnnn for the Btato
fair. At the cnpttol a few of the depart
ments were kept open for the accommoda
tion of visitors, but no business was trans
acted. Ooernor Savnge visited tho folr
during the oftornoou.

Suits Mny He Continued.
It Is probable that the cases of tho state
against the Standard Oil company and the
Argo Manufacturing company, both Insti
tuted under the anti-trust law by former
Attorney' General Smyth, will be continued
from tho September sitting of tho supreme
court. Tho litigation has been assigned for
hearing at tho' session which begins Sop
tembrr Lut It Is given out seml-olTlclally
that neither case will be In condition for
submission at that tlmo.
In the Standard Oil case a decision must
bo given by the referees before the action
can be finally submitted to tho court. Tho
state has closed Its side so far as tho taking
of testimony or evidence Is concerned, but
tho defendant's side Is still open. When,
ull tho evidence Is adduced the Issues In
volved, both as to taw nnd facts, will bo
argued before the referees and their de
cision will go to tho court for review.
The Argo Manufacturing case Is a little
farther along and It is believed that It may
be brought to tho attention of the court
within the next two months. Attorney
General Prout has filed a mass of docu
mentary evidence, all trentlng of the de
tails of tho defendant organization and In
the absence of referees It will go directly
to tho court.

We, the democrats of Washington county,
Neljruskn, In convention assembled, do
hereby renew our fnlth In tho time-honored
principles of govornment which lmvo
been continuously ndvochtcd from the
foundation of our union by the grrnt demo
cratic party, and we pledge our earnest
support to its candidates tudny nominated
by us for olllce.
We commend to the voters of this county
the wise nnd economical administration of
our former governors, Silas H HMcomb
and William A. I'oynter, and point with
pride to the unspotted nnd stainless record
of each of our former officers of Mate, who
accepted their trusts from republican t fll
clals who wero stained with u decade of
embezzlement, corruption nnd crimes, nnd
who by honest and faithful effort hive
placed the several state ollices on an honest,
sound and reliable basis, and nt the clone
of their respective terms of office were able
to turn over the affairs, of their olllces to
their successors with credit to the pirty
which elected them nnd to the people of
tho stote. In contrast to the'r cmlont
services, wo call the attention of the pe pie
of this county to tho nets nf the repub I an
olllclals wlio In their short occupaecy
thereof have been using their offices fir
the purpose of furthering the Interest" of
their political friends to tho detriment of
the state, ns shown by the recent dlsgra e
ful scramble in the last legislature f .r
United States senators from this stnte.
We condemn the .republicans of this state
nud of this county for being controlled by
tho henchmnn of the jnllronds and corpora
tions which control tlielr notions nnd name
their candidates for olllce.
We condemn the act of the republican
governor, Ezra P. Savage. In ndmlttlng to
parole from tho state penitentiary tho de
faulting republican stato treasurer, Joseph
S. Hnrtlcy, whoso official nets were steeped
with crime and corruption never paralleled
In the history of tho stnte.
As a matter of state pride we regret to
seo our republican brethren standing rendy
to barter our crlmlnnl laws for the return
of n. few paltry dollars while the state was
defrauded .by Hartley out of nearly $1,000,
oon. It Is gratifying to know that by the hon
est and faithful effort of the fusion stato
officials tho state never wns In a more
sound financial basis than when on Janu
ary 1 they turned It over to their succes
sors, We heartily Indorse tho services rendered
by each nnd every one of our fusion county
olllclals, and challenge our adversaries to
point to a line in the history of Washing
ton county when tho business of tho county
wns carried on mora successfully and more
systematically.
That the majority nf tho delegates present

vention In Lincoln east the vote for tho

of Jersey City. Ho declared that there was
n systematic effort on foot on the part of
the white Americans to destroy the good
opinion which the English people had of
American negroes. He recapitulated the
lynching figures of the year 1900 and de
clared that, though ninety negroes were
lynched, In only eleven cases had assault
on white women been proved.
Tho bishop's asseverations on negro
morality elicited loud cheers from tho
English part of the audience, nnd several
of thu many southern delegates went out,
while others did not conceal their disagree
ment with the speaker.
Another Incident which attracted com
tnent was a declaration of Sir Charles Skcl
ton, formerly mayor of Sheffield, who, In
welcoming the Americans, sevciely criticised
the wnr In South Afrlcn, exclaiming: "Hell
Is lot loose In South Africa."
He appealed to the visitors to go back,
nnd by preaching an example, make such
wars Impossible.
Dr. Potts of Toronto, replying In behalf
of Canada, protested In a boated, patriotic
and Imperialistic speech, against tho stato
ments mado by Sir Charles Skelton.
Illshop Hurst of Washington dilated on
the friendliness of the British nnd Amcri
can nations and conveyed to tho delegates
President McKlnley's hearty good wishes
for tho success of tho conference, which
were cordially received.
