THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS THIS TIME Recent Aetioa of Board rore-ottea o Ignored, WbUe Records As. Overlooked la Uarryloc the Appropriation Along. At yesterday's meeting of the Board of County Comralsslo'ners it was moved by Ostrom and affirmatively voted by every other member ol the board that "it be the sentiment of this board that an appropria tion of 13,000 be voted by the county board to the Douglas County Agricultural society with the understanding that of this amount 11.100 shsll be paid the managers of the Ak-Bar-Ben festivities In connection with which the fair Is to be held. $600 to apply . on the society's old indebtedness and the remaining tl,!00 to be for the use of the , society, which Is to assums responsibility tor all Indebtedness hereafter." At a meeting of this same board not very many weeks ago Member Ostrom made the following report of the conclusions of i committee that had considered ths appll catjon of President John Armour and Sec retary O. W. Hervey for an appropriation for this same enterprise: "We have given the matter careful consideration and be lleve that the holding of the county fair In Douglas county Is not cf any special In lerest to the agriculturalists at large and that the cost of maintaining the same Is rreatly In sicess of ths benefits derived therefrom; that the request of the petl- (loners be rejected and that no appropria tion be mads for the purpose of an agri cultural exhibit In Douriae county for the year l0t.' And this report of the Ostrom committee was enantmously ar-proved by the asms board that yecta'.day morning approved,! without any debate on the floor, an appro priation of $3,000. Official Announcement of Fair. Secretary Hervey of the fair makes this announcement through the Bee: "The Douglas County Agricultural so ciety announces that the fair for 1902 will bs held in conjunction with the Ak-Ssr- Ben carnival and that arrangements look ing toward the perfecting of this exhibition will be commenced at ones. Farmers and thoss having grains, fruits and vegetables tor exhibition will be supplied with pre mium lists as soon as the board of directors can arrange for their publlcantlon. In the meantime It U desired that samplea of sheaf atuS In all kin As of small grains be saved for exhibition. This Is a year of unusual growth In all crops and one of the finest displays in farm produce ever presented at any fair Is earnestly looked for from the DougJaa County Agricultural society this fall. "Let me again emphasise the Importance of saving some of the nicest, largest and btet-developed samples of everything grown oa the term, for the coming fall ex hibition to be held at Omaha Beptcmber : to October 4." PICKLE FORKSJJOT PUNCHES Street Railway Men to Wield a New Implement on Next Sat- , wrday. The Omaha street railway trainmen will ride as passengers next Saturday.

If ha should not promise to do alt he i could for direct legislation. I The motion was made, but It was, finally, after considerable discussion, decided to leave the resolution matter over until some subiequent meeting, at which It was hopsd that more people would be in attendance. A ccmmlttee was then appointed, composed of Dr. Cook, S. A. Lewis and A. A. Perry, to draft a suitable resolution to be presented at the coming meeting. It as the opinion of those preeent that the question of direct legislation wss the meet Important before the American people and that some good talker should be se lected to speak upon It at a public meeting to be held at a date to be announced later. In order to get a large attendance a com mittee wss appointed to arrange a suitable program for that evening, the date of the meeting being left with the committee. Trains Delayed by High. Water. The westbound "Rocky mountain limited" of the Rock Island route, which ahould have arrived In Omaha at :M a. m. yes terday, pulled Into the Union station at 11 o'clock last night. Passengers by th a train report the north part of Illinois bartlv Inundated and the track of the Rock Island between Jollet and the Mlssloaippl river In an Impassible condition. The train came over the Bui Hps ton from the former pvint to Davenport. The Rock river, principally, and other streams to a leaser extent, have caused numerous washouts oa this part of the road. The worst places are at Jollet, Mollne and Peru. Ths limited arrived In Jollet oa time, but waa detained there nearly eight hours, leaving for the west at 4 a. nt. All of the Rock Island's trains will be more or less delayed, ..but none so badly aa the limited. The Burlington s train No. 11 from the east arrived at 1 a. m.. being tvu hours late. Soft roadbeds oauaed the delay, as U waa Impossible le taaae speed. INITIATIVE SLOW STARTING Dlroet Legislation Ltsgss Makes aa aSSort, bat Falls oa the Imaetas. Eight members of the Initiative and Ref erendum league responded to the call of President J. W. Logan for a meeting held at the Pa i ton cafe last ntgtL Of these esvea were veterans of many political bat tles and one Is Just getting hie second touch of strenuosity, having formerly been a member of the Boer Relief league. The especial object of the call meeting waa to pate a resolution calling upon sack candi date for public office, of whatever political faith, to atate whether er not he would do all In his power to bring about direct lg lalatloa. The membjra agred not to sub committee having the matter In charge seem determined that Nebraska shall fur nish a large per cent of the thousands of delegatea who will attend. The enterprise manifested is certainly to be .'.omnended end It surely betokens the greatest assem blage of Chrlatlan hosts that Omaha r-vor entertained. In addition to the matter of advertising the conVention through a vigorous spee'h maklng campaign, the acens -iroi'nd head quarters Is one of ever Increasing activity. Thousands of pieces of advertising matter are being aent out all over the country and before many weeks have passed it Is stated that every church congr.gatlon cf the Disciples of Christ will be fully In formed In regard to the convention and the favorable rates that have been granted by the railroads. MOVING FOR THE CONVENTION Christian Church Workers On In State Presenting- Matter to the Brethren. C. 8. Paine, chairman, and Judge W. W. Slabaugh, treasurer of the general com mittee of arrangements for the Christian church convention, left Saturday morning for Hebron and Belvldere, where they are to speak In the interests of the convention. They will be at Hebroa tbla mornlnK and at Belvldere this evening. Thnlr presence at these places Is significant. Inasmuch as It Is a part of tha general plan of the committee to use every proper means of bringing ths Interests of the convention close to the people of the state. It Is hoped to cover the entire state before con vention time and arouse, if possible, an unprscsdentsd amount of enthui'.ssm for the success of the national gathering In the fall. It Is felt that the Omaha con vention will surpass any ever held by ths Cbrlatlaa church and the members of the Heavy Rala to the North.
