Monday Morning.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Sept. B (Special.) The char
ity organisation will not name the board of
director of the Tatltha home as announced
thla morning. Rev. Helner will continue
to conduct the home a he has In the
pant and he will do no without the aid or
consent of the charity organisation.
After a meeting of the charity commit
tee Rev. Helner and hla board of dlrertort
yesterday evening It waa announced by a
member of the Investigating committee
that Rev. Helner had agreed to allow the
committee to approve a board of twenty
members to be selected by him for the
future management of the home.
This morning Rev. Helner said he had
decided after consultation with his attor
neys to tell the charity organisation to
mtnd Its own business and he would not
allow It to meddle with his so far as ap
pointing a board of managers waa con
cerned. "I have decided to run my own busi
ness," said Rev. Helner, "and not turn
over to the city charity organisation what
It has taken me fifteen years of hard work
to build. I do not fear the report that the
Investigating committee has had hanging
over my head for so long. If the com
mittee wants to publish It all right. I would
rather the members would make a clear
statement of what they have against my
conduct of the home than to keep cir
culating their Insinuations. I am tired of
that and do not Intend to stand It any
longer. They can publish It when they
please, but I do not Intend to be held up
any more. But what the committee pub
lishes It must be able to prove, for I shall
hold them reaponalble for anything that
Is untrue. I do not fear the truth."
Rev. Helner said the charity committee
made him proposition that IX he would
allow Its members to name a board of di
rectors to control the home, keeping him
as superintendent, they would not publish
the report of their Investigation. He said
he agreed to consult his attorney and then
give them an answer later. Before consult
ing the attorney Mr. Helner began to think
that the charity association had no right
to run hla business. Then visions of losing
his home and seeing the charity association
conducting It waa too much for him and
before seeing the lawyer he had about con
cluded to tell the charity organisation to
mind Its own business.
II Objeetloa to Investigation.
"If the charity organisation wants any
more Investigation It can get It by going
to the proper authorities and having them
do It The members of this committee
have been dragging along her for two
months and then come at me with a propo
sition that If I will give them the man
agement of the home they will not publish
what they know of Its conduct. That
macks too much of blackmail for me. ' I
don't object to any fair and Impartial In
vestigation. Five years ago rumors were
flying thick and fast that the horns was
being mismanaged and an Investigation was
held (hen and I was exonerated.
"Mr. Prever Is the only member of that
committee that has visited the home more
, than once; two members visited It once
and . the others never . have been In the
home. It would be Impossible for them to
" jflnd out anything about the home In that
way. I Invite any ona that thinks the
home la not being properly managed to
come there and remain for a week. Then
he can tell whether It Is or not
"Thla committee had six of the. Inmates
before It to testify and not one of them
aid a word. Maud Lewis, whose neighbors
claimed bad been so mistreated, testified
before the board that she was well fed,
well clothed and well cared for while In
the home. Her neighbors said Maud'a body
was bent and curved, due to her hard work
in the noma. The truth Is that we took
the girl when an Infant. She waa born
with a curved spine and her body was
always bent. She ran away from us, so
he testlfled before the committee, because
some of her friends had left the home and
that made her lonesome and dissatisfied
Since that time she has visited us three
times and recently she gave Mrs. Helner
present upon the occasion of her birth
day. She Is a regular contributor, to h
home, paying each month a small portion of
liar earnings."
nrm. nouror ana ev. ClaTK, who Is a
member of t.ie board of managers, talked
along the same Una as Rev. Helner.
"I have been at the home every dav.1
aid Mr. Clark, "and I have never yet seen
anything that was not Just proper. The
Inmates are contented and well treated and
a more healthy lot of people will not be
round anywhere."
The board of directors of the home had a
meeting later and deolded to run the place
waepenaeni or the charity organisation.
The board will be enlarged and everything
possible will be done to make the home
a succee
Net Hostile o Helaer.
Mr. Prevey of the Investigating board
aald Rev. Helner had agreed to the ap
pointment of the new board and conse
quently the report of the committee would
not be made public. "It Is not our Inten
tion to approve a board that would be op
posed to Helner or his Interests," he said.
"The board we would approve would be
favorable to Helner If It should ever oome
to a partisan vote. .
"The first Intimation w bad that things
Were not right at the home was through
B. P. Wlese, an employe who came to us.
Then we began to hear rumors and others
began to ask ua about the home. We
then went to Mr. Helner and told him of
these reports and he readily consented to
an Investigation. We had no legal right to
Investigate the home, but we wanted to
know If the reports we had were correct
so that we could tell people who applied
to us about the home. We have no thought
of Injuring the home and are willing to
do what we can to assist It, It It Is con
ducted properly."
In discussing Welse, Rev. Helner said he
waa the only person at the home who had
Never give up !
"Not while you
can buy Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. tztiz
ever mistreated any Inmate and It was for
this reason that he win discharged.
In the meantime sentiment In Lincoln
1 somewhat divided with the greater per
cent In favor of Rev. Helner against the
Investigating committee. The people who
have expressed themselves say that If the
committee found anything wrong with the
home It was Its place to say so and not
hold It over the head of the superintendent
to compel him to relinquish hla conduct of
hla own buslneei. In a morning paper
here today Mr. Prevey gave out this In
terview, which, he said, was all he cared
to any now. It read:
"The committee of the charity organisa
tion society which has been Investigating
the matter request the public to withhold
Judgment regarding the published rumors.
The committee has evidence on which Its
Judgment Is based, but asks the publio not
to be hasty In Judgment."
While Mr. Prevey said he did not mean
It that way, moat people believe the talk
to mean that the committee has more evi
dence up Its sleeve than was published yes
terday. Second Day of Fair.
The second day of the state fair was Just
busy ss the first, with the" result that
Monday when visitors are admitted there
will be nothing left to do but see the sights,
for they will all be In lace.
Mrs. Deveraux, one of the women In
charge of the exhibits, said: "The exhibit
this yesr Is the nicest of any year yet, and
I have helped take care of It for several
years. The things are newer and prettier
and very little of the old work, and by
that I mean things that wer exhibited
last year have not been returned this year.
This Is very gratifying, because when the
articles are handled they soon become
tolled and this year the things are crisp
apd new."
In Mercantile hall all of the local mer
chants have their window decorators at
work and things are being unloaded rapidly,
some of the booths being all completed.
Agricultural hall la a thing of beauty for
those who enjoy seeing farm products, and
the exhibits are coming In faster than any
of the others. The superintendent said thla
morning that the exhibitors were all pleased
with their places and that all of the coun
ties that had asked for space had sent In
their exhibits with the exception of Keith
county, and that was momentarily ex
pected. In the center of this hall la the
Canadian exhibit, which Is attracting con
siderable attention" for the reason that the
grain exhibited Is unusually large.
Shows oa Moaday.
The different shows will begin on Monday
and the Midway will be In full swing. Tba
dining halls are serving meals to hundreds
of people, for the fresh air one encounters
there does away with any dyspepsia or
other disease detrimental to one's appetite.
There are so many restaurants on the
main street that it has bean designated
"Hungry Row."; Over at the race track
the carpenters are finishing new bleachers
which will easily accommodate 1,000 people.
Interest In the races Is so great that this
step was deemed advisable by the manage
ment. A light shower to lay the dust on
the track would be very acceptable Just at
present In spite of this, though, the track
Is In good condition and the hone owners
exercise their pets there dally. The horse
barns are well filled and the coming of
Cresceus has caused the board to fix up the
first boxstall near the barns for the trotter
and this has been whitewashed throughout
There will be other finishing touches and
he will be well received as. far as handsome
quarters are concerned.
Cresceus will arrive on Sunday afternoon
and will be taken to the grounds at once.
Superintendent Flick scld this morning:
"The exact time for Cresceus' appearance
has not yet been decided upon. . It will be
some time Tuesday afternoon, possibly at
I or l:S0 o'clock-. .. His running horse will
be 'Mike the Tramp,' a horse that always
runs with him. If there should be a high
wind he will not run till later in the after
noon. It all depends on the weather. There
will be one or two other heats before he
races,"
Big Machinery Exhibit.
The machinery exhibit Is Immense, and
on that part of the ground nothing Is in
sight except corn shelters, plows, reapers
and such like. The exhibit of buggies and
carriages Is as good as any previous year,
and not a few are Interested In the die
play of farm wagons. One of the firms
dealing in machinery has a permanent
building on which $3,500 has recently been
expended. Down at the swine barna one
hears the grunting of many pigs, and the
sheep can be seen In their quarters. They
are distinctly more lamblike than the
swine. In one corner of Agricultural hall
la the exhibit of the' state university ex
perimental farm, and there are also many
different kinds of woods. The people of
Frontier county have come down with a
number of stuffed animals, which are re
garded with curiosity by all, particularly
the children. In Horticultural hall fruits
and flowers are to be seen. The apples
are particularly inviting, and Mr. Christy,
who haa charge of the Nemaha county
exhibit says he will have fresh strawber
rlea on exhibition by Tuesday. Thla, how
ever, does not mean that the general pub
lio will be served with strawberries and
cream. The fair, taken as a whole, is
something that the Nebraska people have
reason to be proud of. If any other state
can beat the' exhibits they have yet to
show Nebraska. If the weather la fair
there will be nothing lacking in any way.
Enjoin Telephone Company.
The first Interruption the Lincoln Tele
phone company haa had since it secured
Its franchise to enter this city cam thla
morning In the nature ef an Injunction.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred DeWltt of 1023 J street
got out tho writ to prevent the company
from placing a pole In front of their resi
dence. In front of the DeWltt place are
already two poles, and thfs one would
make three leas than sixteen feet part.
Jhey claim that such a proceeding would
cut off their view, would prevent free
access to their yard, and In other ways
damage their property. The company
claims the placing of the pole would do
nothing of the kind. That It wouldn't hurt
their view and. would not hinder getting at
the yard. The company claims the family
want the pole on another man's lot, and
thla is Impossible.

t s ... j
Made in Open, So that Result
Will Bo Accepted
by People.
WINCHESTER. Ky.. Sept K.-About 8,000
people attended the onenlna of th demo-
crailo state campaign here today. Governor
Beckham held an. Informal reception during
th forenoon. In the afternoon the gov
ernor spoke for an hour and twenty minutes
and wa followed by Senator Blackburn
and Fenator McCreary. On account of rain
th speaking was then adjourned to the
opera house, where Colonel Harry Wels
slnger end Congressman Ollle James spoke.
Campaign to Bo Aggressive.
Governor Beckham said In part:
I Intend that the contest shall be an
aggressive, not a defensive, one; that the
people shall be thoroughly acquainted with
the Issues Involved and that In the full
jignt or pumic view the democratic party,
willingly, and the republican party, un
willingly, must stand upon their respective
records and let the people Judge between
them.
This Is ths policy which we seek, which
we demand, snd we Intend to drag our
reluctant adversaries from the dark re
cesses of a "gum shoe" campaign and make
them fight us, It they will, In the open
jigm ok aay.
While they seem to have determined upon
a quiet and secret campaign, relying upon
the power of a big corruption fund and
hoping that the democrats may be lulled
Into a tense of overconfidence, we are
determined to compel them to stand up and
assume entire responsibility for the evil
record they hav mado ;a till state.
Nothing to Conceal.
W hav nothing to conceal; w Invite a
full and fair Investlautlon of our ler-ord
and we gladly go before the people upon
inti record, oeueving implicitly in the
sincerity of our purpose and in the
righteousness of our caune.
That the democratlo officials hav done
everything In their power tu put an end
to the troubles In Breathitt county no one
disputes. They were purely local and not
half so serious as the feudal outbreak In
Clay county during the last administration.
If the republicans had shown the same
desire to punish the assassins of William
Goebel that th democrats did to punish
Marcum's assassins both crimes would now
be avengea.
I am glad to give hope to you of a bril
liant victory at the polls In Nevember. I
ask for the democratlo people of Kentucky
that they shall not be Battened with a small
majority, but that they shall roll up such
a tremendous vote, one that will remove for
a long time to come all danger of republican
supremacy, making Kentucky absolutely
out of the doubtful column and Bending
good cheer to the hearts of the national
democracy.
Want Complete Victory.
Let the victory be complete and perma
nent and lei us send out the promise with
reason and confidence to democrats of the
country that next year, when our presiden
tial ticket Is nominated, Kentucky is cer
tainly for It by a good old-fashioned ma
jority. It can be done and It will be done If our
people will only realise the brilliant op
portunity before them and will do their
lull duty In this election. The democratlo
party In Kentucky Is more united and har
monious now than It hae been In ten years.
Moat of those who left us In l&M and 1898
have returned to the fold and we should
treet them with heartiness and cordiality.
t te past be forgotten snd let us stand
together henceforth, shoulder to shoulder,
as democrats with our hearts full of devo
tion for the welfare of our state and nation.
