LINCOLN, Aug. SO (Special.) A crow,
estimated at 28,000 people, attended the
state fair today, even though It had en
announced early in the morning- that Dan
rtch would not go against his re:oi-d.
Till" announcement wu a great dianppotnu
' nient to the large number of visitors In
I.U,coln. However, the track waa too oft
for the horse to make the time he la ex
pected to make, and the Mate fair iiana
. gerr and the managers of the horse want
to aee that record lowered. Dan Patch will
go on tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. At
the time the exhibition of the horse waa
poetrxmed the-weather waa very threaten
ing, and It waa thought It would rain. An
hou after the announcement of the chango
waa made the aim came out and the
weather was ideal and by 4 o'clo: the
track Was In fair condition.
The crowd waa larger than that attracted
by the appearance, of Creaceua, and It was J
a good-natured crowd. They pacrted the
grandstand long before 11 o'clock, and by
1 o'clock every seat waa' occupied, and an
hour later a solid -mass of humanity e-
. tended Jha entire length of the track, al
most completely filled the quarter stretch,
loaded 'aowtf a freight train Just outside
of the grounds, and even then the ciowd
o-i the grounds outside of the race course
scmed -undiminished. -
The races did no ntart until aftsr
. o'clock, though advertised to b'sgin at L
The crowd was good-natured, however, and
though It took three hours to jet the first
three heats off, owing, to the bad rtatis,
the crowd showed little lmpattetv.-e.
Dun Patch waa brought on the track at
4 o'clock and the people were given an
opportunity to look at him. He waa
greeted with- great, enthusiasm and after
lila return to his stall many left the grand
. stand, the other races, owing to the poor
starts, being very uninteresting. Tomor-
, row, however, this Is expected to be reme

In July, iSSj, I began to break, out with
Itczema ou my head, legs and anus, and
began treatment with local doctors, but did
not get much relief. They said tho disease
had become chronic. I then, quit them
and tried various oiuttnent and soaps for
another two years, but aa soon as cold
weather tame I was aa bad off as ever, so I
finally decided to let medicine alone, and
for twelve or thirteen years did nothing
towards curing; the Eczema, excep : bath
ing. Tins seemed to do about as much
food as anything I had tried.
During the time I lost about one-half of
my hair. I began 8. 8. S. doubtful of a

but soon discovered your medicine was
doing me good, and continued to take it.

Weather as m Whele Deri. a? Week
Favorable to Materia Grain.
WASHINGTON, Aug. SO.-The weather
bureau' weekly summary of crop condi
tions la as follows
While the latter part of the week was
abnormally cool In the Ohio valley, lower
iaae region, middle Atlantic statea and
Mew England, the temperature as a whole.
waa favorable for maturing crops. Por
tions of the south Atlantic and east gulf
states suffered from excessive rains, while
drouth prevailed over a large part of the
central ana west srun statea. Occasions 1
showers, very unusual for the season, oc
curred In central California and there was
more than the usual rslnfall In the wast
ern plateau districts. Freeslng tempera
ture la reported from central Wyoming and
light frosts from Colorado, Montana and
portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
x ora.
Although cool weather ' has prevented
rapia development or corn in tne onio val
ley and lake regions, the crop as a whole
has experienced decided Imtir jvement.
Much of that prostrated by winds In the
previous week In Indiana and Illinois Is
strslghtenlng. In the Missouri valley the
temperature has been more favorable and
tbe advancement of the rrop toward ma
turity has been much more rapid than In
the central Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
Harly corn has already matured in south
ern Missouri and Is ripening rapidly In
Nebraak and South Dakota, cutting being
In progrese In the first named state and
In Kansas. The reports Indicate that from
three to four weeks of favorable weather
will be required to mature the late crop."
The week was practically rainless in the
spring wheat region of Minnesota and the
Dakotas, affording favorable- weather for
harvesting and threshing. Some early
wheat In the northern portion of North
Dakota la yet unripe and rust is still dam
aging late wheat in that state, and much
of the crop will not be cut. Disappointing
yields are generally reported irom loano.
ashlnston and Oregon.
In northern. Alabama and In the
inuth-
ern portions fif Mississippi and Louisiana
cotton has Improved and the crop Is in
good condition In Oklahoma and Indian
territories, but elsewhere the reDorts gen
erally Indicate unfavorable progress. De
terioration from rust -and shedding Is re
ported from nearly all districts. Heavy
rains have proved Injurious In portions of
Florida and Georgia, While over a large
part -of Texas the crop has suffered de
cidedly from drouth. In the last men
tioned state boll worms continue destruc
tive and boll weevils are puncturing nearly
all squares In southwestern, central, east
em and coast divisions and sre causing
much damage as far north as Dallas, Kauf
man and Hunt counties. Picking is In full
progress In Texas and Is general In the
southern portion of the central nd eastern
districts.
A general Improvement in tobacco is In
dicated. Cutting Is well advanced In the
middle Atlantic states and New England
and la In progress In the Ohio valley. In
Wisconsin the crop is doing well, although
maturing slowly. ,:
The outlook for apples continues prom
ising In New England, New York and the
upper lake region,, but unfavorable reports
continue from the statea of the central
Valleys.
Except In portions of New England and
the middle Atlantic statea, where blight
and rot are reported to a greater or lesa
extent, an excellent crop of potatoes is in
dicated. Good progress has j been made with fall
plowing throughout tile central valleys and
middle Atlantic states.

Omaha was the first witness called yes
terday in resuming the trial. In Judge
Munger'g court, of the Injunction cases

General John C. Cowln. attorney for the
packers, were directed with the apparent
view of showing that the police depart
ment Was powerless to prevent acta ot vio
lence. In answer to questions, the witness said
he cautioned the strikers that there was
a court Injunction In force against them,
and that the result might be serious if
they violated the order. He also testified
that he told his specials not to use their
guns unless there waa violence. He could
not say whether the strikers knew ot these
Instructions. '
"The strikers did not cease to interfere
with the strike-breakers, did theyT" asked
General Cowln.
"No, sir," said Chief Brlggs.
The witness was questioned regarding
the crowd which gathered around a street
car load of strikers on the 25th. He said.
In reply, that he ordered the crowd to dis
perse, but he waa unable to command obe
dience. '. ,
"Then, you did not command the situa
tion?" "No, sir." ' .
Only One Assa.lt.
Chief Brlggs waa asked if there had not
been numerous assaults up to ths 26th, but
he replied that ha knew of only one assault
up to that time. When asked if he could
assure protection to the South Omaha men
at work in the stock yards if they should
go home, he replied thst he thought he
could If they behaved themselves. He also
testified to the fact that several effigies
have been hung .to telegraph poles and
other places In South Omaha and that they
were decorated with a card with the name
of the person and the word "scab." He
also admitted that women had been threat
ened with violence If the head of the fam
ily did not leave the employ of the packers.
He waa questioned regarding the mob
which chased a laborer named Cahlll to his
home. In answer to a question of General
Cowln the witness said ha did not reach
the house until the trouble was over and
that he did not see Cahlll'a daughter come
out of the house with a pistol to protect
her father against the mob. He heard of
the incident. r
Did you threaten to arrest the child who
faced that mob of ISO persons for 'carrying
concealed weapons r
"No, sir." -
He was also asked if the specials quit be
cause they were powerless under the orders
of the chief. The witness denied this and
said they , were dismissed because he had
no' further use for them. He testified that
force was not used in resisting the mob any
of tbe time.
Perse. ally Sees No Violence.
Chief Brigga said about twelve serious
assaults have occurred since the strike.
The victims of one of thesd attacks is in
the hospital. In reply to a question the
witness said that In all of the attacks
made he had . seen nothing personally, to
Justify him in making an arrest. , . ...
i C, J, Smyth,, attorney . foe . the strikers,
questioned the witness regarding . the
method ot unloading strike breakers. - He
asked the chief if it was not a fact that
men had been unloaded at some distance
from the stock yards when they could-Just
as veil have been unloaded Inside, where
there would have been less chance of
trouble. .
The witness answered affirmatively. The
attorney Intimated that It was the purpose
of the packers to Incite the strikers to vio
lence, so that the militia could be called
out. There was an argument with the
court on this point Judge Munger holding
that the motives of the packers had noth
ing to do with the violations ot the injunc
tions, i

Fined.
Stephen Howard, a South Omaha striker,
was fined $10 and costs by County Judge
Vlnsonhaler today for Interfering with an
officer In the discharge of his duty. The
prisoner waa arrested Tuesday night of
last week.
When arraigned In court Howard said he
had no attorney and would act as his own
counsel. Although an Illiterate foreigner.
he displayed considerable native ability
in conducting his defense and made a
strong appeal for leniency when summing
up ths case.
'I went out of doors to cool off," he
said, "and the cop he came along and
yanked me away, to the cooler. Let me
go this time, Judge, and after thla I'll move
along when a cop tells me to." '
In Imposing sentence the court stated
that be would Impose a light fine, because
he thought the prisoner interfered with the
officer more through ignorance than' a de
sire to be a law breaker.
