Klaied and satisfied the State fair mana
gers toslj estimated the attendance at
tbe State fair at 30.000. 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.
The board of mansgers today visited each
txhlbltor cn the grounds, Tbey found the
latrona well pleased and declaring that they
. "Uld b- on hand to attend the fair next
car.
The Immense mob of people quickly kicked
,,i a couple of Inches of dust all over the
fair grounds early in the forenoon. Soon
the wind began blowing from tbe south
and ths loose dirt arose in great clouds.
The street sprinklers were called upon 'o
battle with tbe wind and In a few hours

dust kept blowing in from the region out

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. Some
have said that Mr. Wilson Is out of the city
and the Invitation did not reach him.
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. Those who were
broke" and yet manifested a desire to gel
on tbe Inside In defiance of the police and
the recognized moral principles involved,
have been summarily ejected and warned
not to repeat the performance. No case of
pi-ket picking have been reported and as
yet there has been no act of vlotence.
The cxul'.cntlary attracts a great many ef
ths visiters to the state fair. Yesterday TOO
p?ple were shown through the institution
Tcday the visitors greatly exceeded that
, r umber. A fee of Ji cents Is charged each
person and with the proceeds 'he prison
library will be restocked. Tbe fire last
winter is credited with Wing the cause of
the unusual Interest In the institution.
Nearly all state, ccunty and city offices
were clctcd this afternoon for the atatt
fair. At the capttol a few cf the depart
nrnts were kept open for the accommoda
tion of visitors, but no business was trans
acted. Governor Savage visited the fair

We. the democrats of Washington county.
NeTjrajka. In convention assembled, no
hereby renev.- our faith In the time-honored
principles of government which have
been continuously advocated from the
foundation of our union by the grfat demo
cratic party, and we pedge our earnest
support to Its candidates today nominated
by us for office.
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. Ezra P Savage. In admitting to
parole from the state penitentiary the de
faulting republican state treasurer, Joseph
S. Hartley, whose official acts were steeped
with crime and corruption never paralleled
In the history of the state.
As a matter of state pride we regret to
sec our republican brethren standing ready
to barter our criminal laws for the return
of a few- paltry dollars while the state was
defrauded. by Hartley out if nearly ll.OJ.
(VI. It Is gratifying to know 'hat by the hon
est and faithful effort of the fusion state
officials the state never was In a more
sound financial basis than when on Janu
ary 1 they turned It over to their succes
sors. We heartily Indorse the services rendered
by each and every one of our fusion county
officials, and challenge our adversaries to
point to a line In the history of Washing
ton county when the business of the county
was carried on more successfully and more
syntematlcally.
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. Davles secretary.
In strong contrast to the republican con
vention that was held a short time ago
when th; large court room was crowded to
overflowing, was tbe convention today,
with scarcely a half hunared more than
the delegates in attendance at both con
ventions. For Jlnrdrroaa Axault.

LONDON. 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 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. For conven
ience in arranging business the conference Is
divided into eastern and western sections.
The eastern section, which takes In all
branches of English Methodists, together
1 with affiliated conferences in Australasia,
, South Africa and the West Indies, consists
j of 360 members, apportioned as fellows.
Wcsleyan Methodists. 56. New Connection
Methodists. 10; Primitive Methodists. S4.
United Methodist free churches, 30; Bible
Christians. 10. Irish Methodists. 10: minor
Methodist bodies. 6. French Methodhts. 3.
; West Indian Methodists, 6: Australasian
Wesleyan Methodist church, 13, and South
African Methodist church. 10.
The western section Includes American
and Canadian Methodists and because
of Its religious strength has 300 delegates
The Methodist Episcopal church of the
United States sent 169 representatives,
among then Bishops Hurst. Vincent. Hamil
ton and Hartsell. The Methodist Enlsconal
I church south Is represented by seventy de.e-
gates, including Bishops Fitzgerald. Gallo
! way, Granberry and Alderson. Tbe Metho
dist Church of Canada among Its twenty
representatives has Dr. Briggs. Dr. Potts.
Prof J. C. Antllff and Chancellor Brownash
of Toronto. The colored Methodist churches
of America are represented by fifty-eight
delegates, including twenty colored bishops.
Though the conference docs not have
legislative and administrative powers over
the churches represented, their policy will
probably be affected both directly and In
directly by the discussions on the religious
and social problems that will come before
it.
Among the subjects that will te consid
ered are. "The Present Poiltlon of Method
ism," "The Influence of Methodism tn the
Promotion of International Peace." "Bibli
cal Criticism and the Christian Faith."
"Principles of Protestantism versus
Sacerdotalism." "Methodism and Educa
tion." "Christianity and Modern Unbelief."
"Modern Indlfferentlsm." "Methodist Llttr
ature and Journalism" and "Practical
Methods of Dealing with tbe Liquor Traffic."
A public meeting will be held at which
