Early this morning excursion trains began arriving and long b fjre the middle of tbe forenoon the street irs. loaded down with passengers, were making their way over the rough track toward the fair grounds. Cars were run at three-minute Intervals all day long. Railroad officials were taken by surprise aud had to hustle out extra excursion trains get the people Into the city. Many ex tras consisted of coaches, freight ears anJ cabocses mixed up indlscrlmately and drawn ty two engines. Old fair patrons shook heir h-iads and admitted they hadn't seen anything like It.

Secretary AVIIann Mlrnt. In spite of he cordial telegram seat to Secretary Wilson at the national capital last Mcndav evening, thpre has as yet been no reply from the seat of government.

Others claim that the press dispatches say that the secretary is at his desk in Wash ington aud did not reply to tbe comtaunlca tlcn from the board of mansgers because he t a trlfi" sensitive cn tbe subject of crrn belts, their size and extent In the west. His Ideas have also radically changed tn re gard to "arid regions." declare tbe state fair men. Perhaps the buckle broke when he wxs fixing up his new- corn belt, and he had to stay over and fix It. Leastwise a careful search of the grounds failed to locate the secretary. Vp to noon today the policemen at the fair grounds had met with no cases of lawless ness. Fifty youngsters who have been de termined to avoid the pres:rlbcd fee acd tried to worm through the openings of the fence have been apprehended. Some of them had the price of admission nd were es corted to the gate where they paid the regu lation entrance fee.

We commend to the voters of this county the wise and econmlra! administration of our former governors. Silas B H'lcomb and William A Poynter. and pslnt with pride to the unspotted and stalnlefp record of each of our former officers of state, who accepted their trusts from republican fa cials who were talned with a decade 'f embezzlement, corruption and crimes, and who by hones, and fal'hful effort rrve placed the several state offices on an honest, sund and reliable basis, and at th' c!oe of their respective terms of office were able to turn over the afTalrs. t their offices to their successors with credit to the pirty which elected them and to the pennle of the state. In contrast to the r r rn -let services, we call the attention of the pe pie of this county to the acts of the re:ub i an officials who In their shirt occuracy thereof have been uslrg their offices fr the purpose of furthering the Interest of their political friends to the detriment of the state, as shown by the recent dlsr;i ful scramble in the la-t legislature f r United States senators frum this state We condemn the -republicans of this state and of this county for being controlled by the henchman of the railroads and corpora tions whim control their actions and name their candidates for office We condemn the act of the republican governor.

That the majority of the delecRtes nresent and tn actual attendance at our state con vention In Lincoln cast the vote for the absent delegations as elected by their con vention and that no proxies be allowed The democratic central committee was reorganized and G. H. Fiber was elected chairman and Henry Mencke secretary. Tbe populist central committee was also reor ganized and the officers left the same as last year, with C. B. Spragrue chairman and L. E.

Sept. 4 The most striking feature ef the ecumenical Methodist con ference. which opened today, was an im passioned plea of the colored bishop, Walters of Jersey City. He declared that there was a 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 lf'00 and de clared that, though ninety negroes were lynched. In only eleven cases had assault on white women been proved The bishop's asseverations on negro morality elicited loud cheers from the English part of the audience, and several of the many southern delegates went out, while others did not conceal their disagree I cent with the speaker. i Another incident which attracted com- 1 ment was a declaration of Sir Charles Skel- I ton. formerly mayor of Sheffield, who. In welcoming the Americans, severely crltlslsed the war In South Africa, exclaiming: "Hell i Is let loose in South Africa." He appealed to the visitors to ga back. ' and by preaching an example, make such wars impossible. Dr Potts of Toronto, replying In behalf of Canada, protested In a heated, patriotic ; and Imperialistic speech, against the state ments made by Sir Charles Skelton. Bishop Hurst of Washington dilated on . the friendliness of the British and Ameri can nations and conveyed to the delegates President McKlnley's hearty good wishes for tbe success of the conference, which were cordially received.

The archbishop of Canterbury. Most Rev. Frederick Temple. D.D . and tho bishop of London, Right Rev. A. F W Ingram, D.D. sent friendly messages, the archblzhop of Canterbury praying that God's blessing may rest on the delibera tions. Tbe bishop of London sent a simi lar message, but adding the hope that some day the Methodists will be reunited with the Episcopalians. The ecumenical conference Is meeting In the City Road chapel, built by John Wesley In 176C. i' is sometimes called the Ca thedral of Methodism and Is filled with memorials of all denominations tracing tfceir origin to Wesley. Marble columus representing Methodist branches in the north and south of the United States and Canada are among those holding up the gal lery. T'ley were presented after the first conference that assembled here exactly twenty years ago today. Where Tliry Come From. The representation, which is on a basis of about one delegate to 30.000 members, gives the United States and Canada 300 out of the '00 delegates composing tbe coun c'l. The chairman will be changed daily, so that nearly all the divisions represented will have a chairmanship.
