County Oommiiaionart Vote Mera Aid to the
"DouglM County lair."
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. They are
to have their annual outtnir at Kru's p.-k
and for that one day in all the year wilt
substitute the pickle for ths traneter puma
and the canopener for the bellrope. A fair,
not fares will occupy their attention, for
they are to have all the fun that properly
belongs to a Jollification and have extended
a general Invitation to their friends to come

commencing at 1 p. m. there will be races

port any candidate, even If he, was ef the I
same political faith as the member of tha '
league. 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.
Yesterday afternoon's rain, which in the
city waa a email affair, was to the north,
between Ames avenue and Florence, a
notably aevere squall for fifteen minutes.
At Courtland beach the watrr of the lake

considerable difficulty and danger. Several
