(From. a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept 4. (Special.) Th Ne
braska 6tate fair. bat passed another day
of unprecedented attendance.' It I eatl
Bated that . fully 21,000 periona passed
through the turnstiles, which la about the
am aa the attendance ' yesterdsy, but
much higher than that of the correspond
ing day a year ago.
The eucceae of the fair has encouraged
the managera la the belief that the next
legislature will ' make euheUntial appro
priation' for' Improving the bulldlnga and
ground. They point to the crowds as evl
dence that the fair la Increasing In popu
larity and they Insist that the state should
.give It some financial support.
The day'a program consisted of a con
art this morning by Hagenow'a band
and the usual races this afternoon. To
Morrow will be the last day of the fair,
tone Faaloa Carelessness.
Another ease of rre-ts carelessness on
the part of the former populist state of
totals haa been di.....td tnrough an ap
plication recently made to Adjutant Gen
era! Colby for permission to use thirty
f the atate'a tents at a camp meeting In
Madison county. The letter containing the
request explained that the teota Bought
had been stored In the railroad station at
Herman and were lying there unused and
evidently forgotten.
An examination of the records In the ad
jutant general's office failed to reveal any
trace of the tents saving been sent to
Herman. Further Investigation, however,
recalled the fact that they had been sent
to Herman three yeare ago for the sufferers
from the tornado which visited that town,
but there was absolutely no record of the
requisition end It la not likely that the
state would ever have recovered the prop
erty had it not been for the presentation
f the request.
1 Though contrary to the rules and regula
tlona of the department, Adjutant General
Colby promptly granted the permission
asked, conditional upon the tenta being re
turned to the arsenal here at the conclu
sion of the campmeetlng.
The value of the property la not great,
but thla fact doea not make the carelessnesa
excuaable. In the military department, aa
well as in all otbera of the state govern
ment, a careful record should be kept of
very Important transaction. It Is custo
mary and necessary to record all requlal
, tlona for military property, whether for
large or small amounts.
Mayer's Hon Brlaar Good Price,
Mayor Wlnnett received Information today
that a horse be disposed of several months
atro for 1200 had been aold In Philadelphia

weeka and then aold It to a Philadelphia
buyer for 1310. The easterner put the ani
mal on the track and yesterday It entered
He first race. It Dntahed a mile In the first
heat In 1:11, la the second In 1:18 and In the
third heat the watch atopped at 1:17. Be
fore the animal was taken from the track
the owner had sold It for $5,000.
Prince Oreenlander, which la the name of
the horse, was bred by the mayor and until
old -was -weed fer-rlv4ag and heavy work
about his farm. It waa of good atock, but
jiebody supposed that It waa deatined for
such sensational success on the track. It Is
a 4-year-old and at yeaterday waa Its drat
race great thlnga are expected of it.
The commissioners of Lancaster county
are again Involved In a dispute regarding
the allowance of clalma for bridges, and
Commissioner Welton declarea that ha will

Deaf Mates Ceaveatlea.

Gallaudet, famed as a friend and teacher
of the deaf, were passed this morning at
the coaventtoa of deaf mutes. H. B. Dawes,
through N. Rothert, delivered a brief ad
dress, eneouraglng the Idea of a state In
duatrlal home for the deaf and blind. Rev,
Mr. Haaenatab approved the plan and waa
seconded by John O'Brien of Nebraska
City, who thought that In ease of the estab
Ilshment of such an institution the deaf
would be sura of steady work. C. Camp of
Omaha, N. Rothert and A. Kobersteln die
A
agreed en aome of the points. They thought
It would be better for the deaf to Insist
n better tactlltlea at the school eo that
the etudanta could be taught a trade under
the best of instruction. Once they have
learned a trade they would be able to hold
a position without trouble and would have
tike pleasure of a feeling of Independence.

BROOKLYN MEETS ACCIDENT
War Vessel , Strikes 'Uncharted Ob.
atractloa la Bnaaard'a Bay aad
I Is Borloaaly Damaged.
WASHINGTON. Bept 4. Acting Secre
tary of the Navy Darling haa received a tel
egram from Rear Admiral J. B. Coghlan,
second In command oa tbe North Atlantle
etatlon, giving a report of the accident
which befell his flag ahlp, the cruiser
Brooklyn, In Butzard'e bay yesterday.
Tbe report aays that while withdrawing
from the maneuver attack Brooklyn struck
and ran over an uncharted obstruction. Ex
amination showed that about six frames
were bent Inward, Inner . bottom plat
bulged and compartment making some
water and other damage done. The report
concludes: .. .
"Do not consider blame attaches to any
person concerned. Recommend that ship
go to navy yard for docking and examina
tion. Have ordered investigation and In
formed commander-in-chief.- Shall proceed
to Block Island and If he (Admiral Hlggtn
sen) cannot be found will go to Hopkins
vllle for orders." . , . .
Orders were sent forward to Brooklyn to
proceed to the New York navy yard, where
the extent of the damage could be ascer
tained definitely. Without a better defined
Idea of the character of the injuries naval
officials were not prepared to give an esti
mate of the time during .which Brooklyn
must be laid uz or of the eost of repairs,
but It waa thought that It would be In dock
anywhere from three weeks to two months
and that the cost of the accident probably
would, total upward of 150,000.
The bay In which , Brooklyn struck was
charted, not by the naval hydrographlc
office, but by the coaat and geodetic survey.
Brooklyn was the largest vessel which had
entered Buzzard's bay In the memory of
the oldest Inhabitants and it was realised
that an element of risk attended Ita appear
ance In that locality. But naval officers
point out that" the maneuvers are Intended
to stimulate actual war conditions and pro
duce beneficial results In the way of valu
able Information to tbe army and nary and
tne enneerance or a vel !! Broeiira
might well be necessary In war time.
The big cruiser already bas an unenviable
record for atrlklng snags. While the North
Atlantic squadron, waa lying off Cuba this
ship struck a rock near Ouantanamo. When
hardly out of the builders' bands It at ruck
In the Delaware river and punched a big
hole In Its bottom, and once again on the
East river the' vessel encountered an ' un
looked for obstruction. Its accident yester
day is the fourth In the 'memory of naval
officials. -
MORE OLD FOLKS VERY YEAR
Ceasne Bareaa Iseaea ' taeport 8how
lasr that the Medina Line la
Belaar Lifted.'
WASHINGTON. Sept. 4. The census
bureau today -Issued a statement showing
the increasing age of the population fom
decade to decade. The statement gives the
results of computing the median instead of
the average age. The median la such an
age that half the population Is under It
and half Is over It The median age of
the total population In 1900 was 22.S, as
compared with 2L In 1890. The median
age of the white population In the last
census year was 114 and the colored, in
eluding negroes. Indians and Mongolians,
was 19.T. while In 1890 the white population
was 22.4 and the colored 18.S.
The report show there was an Increase
In the median age of ths white population
from 1810 to 1900, amounting In the ninety
years to 7.4. The. median age of the col
ored population Increaaed afte, 1830, but
with leas regularity. The median age of
the colored population Increaaed three
years In the seventy-year period as fast
as that of the whites. But during the last
twenty years of the century the increase
for the two groupa'baa been substantially
ths same, 1.9 for the colored and two years
for the white.
' The statement concludes as follows
Many complex Influences have co-operated
In producing as a resultant thla steady
chrnge In the age composition of the pop
ulatlon. Three may be mentioned, via.
Tbe rapid progress of medical and sani
tary science, which has tended to Increase
the average length of life; the decrease
In the relative number of children born,
which has made the earlier age periods
less preponderant numerically in the total
population and tho influx, especially since
1840, of great numbers of adult Imml
grants, increasing the number In the older
sge periods. The difference between the
white and colored populations is doubtless
due to the fact that the Influencea have
wrought mora powerfully upon the white
race than upon the colored."

The operators have been ao annoyed with
petty strikes at their different breakers In
the laat two yeara that they resolved when
the present strike was Inaugurated and waa
made general In May laat tney would stand
firmly lor what they considered their
rights. The strike is not by any means
settled or nearly so. J"he main contention
on the part of the miners is as to the
recognition of the union, and that the mine
ownera will not accede to. All other de
mands of the strikers can and will be
satisfactorily settled.
As the situation now stands tne operators
will carry out their plan and allow mattera
to develop if It takta all winter. A con
cession now would mean no end of trouble
In the future and they can better afford to
stand the loss and expense now than to
yield and be constantly annoyed with email
strikes from time to time, and no doubt
another large one In the course of a year or
two. On the other hand, the miners are
determined to win If possible, aa it means
the life of their union In the anthracite
fields and possibly in the soft coal district
as well. '
Gradually Opening Vm.
The operators are gradually opening up
breakers and washeries and there are now
about thirteen of tbe latter in operation In
the several districts, but few breakers. The
washeries do rot aid the supply except
locally, as the process merely conslats in
the washing of culm beds and securing the
smaller sixes of coal for steam purposes.
All the present difficulties between the
miners and the police and the militia arise
out ef the efforts of the mine ownera to
work their property with nonunion men. If
they aucceed in gradually Increasing their
output for the next sixty days the strike
will be practically broken. Thla the miners
realise and there is much trouble in pros-.
pect.
The operators offer no encouragement
that tbe strike will be ended before Novem
ber. If this is true It will take all the coal
they can mine for the ensuing alxty days to
supply the eastern demand until cold
weather. Then a large quantity of the
November and December coal will be uaed
here for local consumption. There la very
little If any prospect of any appreciable
amount of anthracite coal being moved
weat thla winter at all. Thla will, of
course, have Ita effect upon the aoft coal
market aa well, for there will necessarily
be more of that product used to supply the
deficiency and it la unlikely that there will
be any relief la prices throughout the en
tire season.
Not Over-Wise.
There Is an old allegorical picture ot a
girl scared at a grasshopper, but In ths act
of heedlessly treading on a snsks. This Is
paralleled by the man who spends a large
sum of money building a cyclone cellar, but
neglecta to provide his family with a bottle
of Chamberlain'a Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy aa a safeguard against bowel
eomplalnta, whoae victims outnumber those
ot the cyclone a hundred to one. This rem
edy Is everywhere recognised as the most
prompt and reliable medicine In use for
these diseases.

WASHINGTON, Bept 4. An example of
the mental havoc wrought by extreme ex
posure and privation Is furnished by the
caaa ot Captain Joseph E. Maxfield of tbe
boat Signal, who, tor about six months, has
been In charge of the army's signal work
In Alaska. In the early spring be left
Valdes and traveled 300 miles to tS north
for the purpose of looking over the tjround
and outlining the work to be performed
by tho signal corps during ths summer.
Then, with but a single Indian guide for

days ago the department received a state
ment that Captain Maxdeld waa beset with
a hallucination that there waa a con
spiracy directed against hla life and It was
suggested that the officer should be re
turned to the United States ss soon as
possible. Today - orders were forwarded
from the War department directing Cap
tain Maxfield to return to bis home to re
cuperate, from what It la hoped Is only a
temporary lapse of mental faculties. Tho
signal corps has not enough of officers
for the work In Alaska, and the loss of
Captain Maxfield Is greatly regretted. .
