Attorney General Brown stated today
that the testimony of the Lincoln wltneseea
In the grain association case would be
taken Friday In the senate chamber before
Minor B. Bacon, formerly district court
reporter for this district. It Is understood
that Brown has little fear that any of the
Witnesses will seek to escape going on the
tand, whatever may have been done In a
- private suit, since the members of the
grain association will be obliged to show
tha court that they are defending In good
faith and tha audden disappearance of any
of them on tha eve of the hearing might
be construed into an admission of some
of tha charges made by the state.
Tha attorney general haa been out of
the city for two days. A portion of that
tlma waa spent at Columbus, where Former
Chlsf Justice Sullivan lives. The official
haa not disclosed tha purpose of the con

waa found to be untouched this morning.
Borne of his associates say that he was
troubled with heart disease, but there Is
only surmise aa to the cause of hla ab
sence. There were Intimations of financial
trouble, but these were discredited by his
. friends who stated that he Is comparatively
wealthy and only recently had refused a
$10,000 offer for the little building which
he occupies. Green, who Is 50 years of age,
la unmarried.
Exhibits Most Be In Place In Time.
Secretary Bussett of the State Board of
Agriculture stated today that the exhibit
ors at the state fair must have everything
arranged In readiness for Inspection Mon
day morning In order to receive any at
tention from the jury of awards, lie says
that the enforcement of this rule -Is more
necessary than ever In view of the much
greater number of visitors to the fair, an
tlclpated at the present time. lie says that
it is unfair to the people who pay to see
the things If they are not properly ar
ranged when the gates are thrown open to
the public.
"All of the preliminary arrangements for
the state fair have been attended to
said Secretary Ban sett this afternoon. "We
have made arrangements with all the rail
ways of the slate to offer special farll
ties and tho Burlington and Rock Island
have already agreed to run special trains
for the accommodation of the crowd which
Is expected to come to the city.
"The railroads have made low rates for
the shipment of exhibits and that fact, com
bined with the Increased prosperity of the
Itate and the growing Interest In the fair.
has led to the greatest demand for spaca
In the history of the Institution.
Exhibits I.arae In All Lines.
"The visitors to the fair will be shown
the finest horses, cuttle and other live
ttock In the state. The Agricultural de
partment will be filled to overflowing with
ur own products, since we have no space
tor those of other states. Additional space
has been set apart for agricultural ma
:hinery and the display will be larger and
Sner than ever before, many of the ex
tilbltors now owning buildings on the
(rounds. The Kduoatlonal department
which haa been collected largely by Deputy
Btate Superintendent E. O. Bishop, will
contain many new exhibits. Including
model school room completely furnished,
which will give the rurai visitors to the
fair an Idea of the method to be employed
In Improving the conditions In their own
Ichools. There will be a cooking exhibit
In charge of pupil who have taken work
n the public achool departments of domestic
jelence, and the people will be given
:hance to see the work In actual operation
n order that they may derive some Idea of
'.he advantage of Instruction In domestic
irlence. Mr. Bishop has collected a con
aderable number of exhlblta bearing on the
progress of the new movement for school
rardens. which Is now taking hold so sat
afactorlly.

"Every effort has been made to provide
amusement and instruction for visitors. It
has been our plan to arrange things so
that the people out in the sate may have
an outing by -going to the state fair. No
concessions have been let. to objectionable
shows and tli management has mart a
coup by securing a village of Iporrotes, who
will occupy a stockade, built after the na
tive fashion. These natives f f the Jungle
of the Philippines will live In their own
kind of habitations and under condtons as
nearly llk those of their island homes as
It Is possible to make It. At the Pt. I.ouls
exposition these Islanders were a source
of never ending Interest because of their
primitive customs, dress and amusements."
Teaching C'noklna In Hnrnl schools.
Deputy Plate Superintendent F.. C. Bishop
stated todsy that the department Is anxious
to secure the Introduction of courses in
elementary domestic science In the rural
schools. He hopes to see the university 8 nd
the normal schools equipping the teachers
sent out by them with sufficient training
In simple domestic science to enable them
to Impart Information to the girls In the
country schools, believing that such Infor-
atlon will raise the standards of cookery
n the farm and teach economy In the pur
hase and use of food materials. He says
that the cost of the apparatus needed Is
very small and the children take to the
work very readily and like It. Coincident
with this addition to the curriculum which
he expects to bring about In a few years, he
thinks that manual training will be estab
lished for the boys.

KEARNEY, Neb., Aug 12 -(Special Tel
egram.) With Ideal weather the soldiers
continue to enjoy their camp life. Today s
maneuvers were successfully carried
through and. though the report of the um
pires Is not yet published, both sides ac
quitted thcmselvfs creditably.
At 4 o'clock this morning the first di
vision moved out of camp to the maneuver
ing grounds and at 7:30 the second di
vision moved out under the command of
their respective colonels as designated In
the accompanying orders. At 9 o'clock a
rocket was sent up by the signal corps,
which was the signal for the contending
forces to get Into action. At the samo
time the general and staff, accompanied by
Major Certl. Captain Palmer, Captain
Welch of the Thirtieth United States In
fantry and Lieutenant Hensley of the Thir
teenth United States cavalry, who was to
umpire the moves of strategy and errors
made, accompanied the general and staff.
Colonel Ehrhardt was left In command of
the camp and Colonel Traynor had charge
cf the baggage and supplies In camp, so If
there was any Imminent danger of the
camp being captured he might move the
bagpage to some place for safety.
Too Many Injured to Care For.
After an hour's countering by the forces
Colonel Evans, surgeon general, was
brought back to camp, having been over
come by excessive work In the field caring
for the injured.
In the absence of one of the cap
tains from Fort Crook, Captain Sammons,
company A, second regiment, was ap
pointed by General Culver as one of the
umpires In the field contest between the
Blues and the Browns, In which the cap
tain acquitted himself creditably. There was
no victor to either division and the full
report of the umpires will be given later,
The camp not having been captured. Col
onel Ehrhardt and Commodore Traynor
will be able to attend divine services to
morrow. A handsome loving cup of silver, gold
lined, ten Inches high and five Inches across
has been purchased by General Culver to
be given to the winning team In the tug-of-war
contest which has been going on
In the Y. M. C. A. headquarters on the
camp ground. Ten men from each com
pany take part In the contest and the cup
will be given to the champion. The cup
has the following Inscription engraved:
"Culver Cup for Charhplon, The Tug-of-War,"
and will be presented on dress
parade Tuesday evening.
Governor Mickey In Camp,
Governor Mickey and wife arrived this
afternoon. They are guests at the State
Industrial school and will spend a couple
of days In the camp. On Monday the gov
ernor and full staff will be present at the
grand review.
The sanitary conditions of the camp are
pronounced the best of any camp yet held
by the guard ajid so far but little kicking
has been done by the troops, which shows
that Colonel Jenkins, the brigade com
missary, and Captain Davis, the assistant
quartermaster, have been careful in the
selection of their rations, supplies and
property and fairly liberal In Issuing the
same, though they do say tha colonel haa
trouble In getting orderlies to his quarters
In time in tho morning to look after tho
commissary sergeants, who are on hand
pretty early In the morning.
The surgeon general. Colonel Evans, is
distinctly proud of his emergency hospital
outfit, together with one of the finest cases
of Instruments of any surgeon In the serv
ice. In fact, the colonel says he Is well
prepared now for active service and a
long campaign except a few medicines.
Colonel John Ehrhardt, Judge advocate
general, seems a little disappointed at the
harmony among the officers and the good
behavior of the troops, and Is watchNng
closely for some Irregularity whereby he
may get busy, but as a matter of fact he
Is about the only officer connected with
headquarters or the camp who Is not real
busy.
All on Good Behavior.
Colonel J. A Storeh, commanding the
First regiment, and- Colonel J. W. McDon
nell, commander of the Second, together
with the field officers of their regiments,
are working hard to bring their commands
up to the standard of Major Cecil's ideas
of well drilled field soldiers. In fact, the
headquarters, field and staff, as weft as
the line officers and the troops themselves,
all seem on their good behavior, anxious
to learn and do what Is for the best In
terest and credit of the .National guard.
So far their work and deportment have
been of the best and a few more days of
similar work will mark this encampment
for results and order as the best held by
our troops In or out of the state.
Colonels Storch and McDonald are mak
ing the discipline all that can be desired
In doubling the guard service and formulat
ing a provo guard to look after any stray
soldier that might evade the guards and
slip Into the city. General Culver having
seen active service In two wars Is some
what familiar with the weakness of some
men and Is keeping a service eye on every
part of the camp. With complete telephone
service to all parts of the camp besides the
city service and several mounted aids
and orderlies and a complete and effective
system of Inspection both of quarters and
mess tents there Is but little going on the
officers do not find out. and disobedience,
drunkenness or foraging meets with swift
retribution, but so far no serious Infrlng
ment of military discipline has taken place.
A rather peculiar circumstance occurred
In the encampment. The lieutenant colonel
and tnree majors or the first regiment
being absent, the lieutenant colonel being
In command of the rifle team, Major Rich
ards being sick, Major Lyon having too
much business to leave and Major Gegner
being a member of the rifle team, this pro
motes' four captains to fill their places
during the encampment.
Major Thelps. the adjutant general, Is
one of the real busy men In camp trying
to protect the military dignity of brigade
headquarters In procuring sufficient guards
and orderlies to keep the camp running
without overworking the staff and vol
unteers.
General Culver on Thursday peremptorily
discharged the second cook for a little
Indiscretion. Since then the headquarters
mess have been on short allowance.
Sunday will be duly observed, as Captain
Slsson. chaplain of the First regiment. Is
In camp and regular Sunday services will
be held.

Big Bnslnesa for raining Factory.
AUBURN. Neb., Aug. 12. (Special.) The
Auburn canning factory started up a week
ago ytsterday. It has corn that Is going
four tons per acre. This same land yielded
only two tons per acre last year. Superin
tendent Farmer estimates they have enough
corn to can 2,000.000 cans of corn. The
corn Is of the very best quality. The
company will have considerable more corn
than will be necessary to fill Its con
tracts. It has a bigger acreage this year
than last, and the yield will be about
double. The reason for a larger acreage
was that last year they did not have
enough corn to fill their contracts and had
to go onto the market and purchase a
considerable amount. 'i

the last week, putting In every moment
of their time in stacking their oats, and it
is safe to say that they will get them all
In stack this week. They say. that their
oats are not as good this year as most
of tha yeari on account of too much rain
while they were in shock. There has
been no rain the laat week. None of the
crops are suffering and with a little rain
tho middle of the month or next week
Polk county will have the largest and
best crop of corn that has ever been
grown In the county. There Is very little
grain coming to town end not a fifth of
the wheat has been threshed, but Is In
stack. Farmers are Jubilant, as they have
a perfect right to be.

tlons. In a note It Is explained that "tha
value submitted waa determined not with
a view to discovering a proper purchase
price for the railways of the United States -nor
as a basis for taxing these railway
properties, but as one step In ascertaining
for the census bureau tha total wealth of
the United States.
"Whether or not," the note continues,
"the value submitted represents the value
upon which the railways of the United
Slates might properly be taxed depends
upon whether the state undertakes to tax
the roads at their full commercial values.
Including the values of both tangible and
intangible property, or whether it seeks to
confine Its taxation to the value of the
tangible property alone. In the former
case the value submitted Is believed to be
substantially correct, so far as It concerns
the operating properties of the railways; In
the latter case It Is too high."
FIRE RECORD.
Humboldt Warehouses.
HUMBOLDT, Neb.. Aug. lJ.-(BpeclaL)
A beer warehouse belonging to H. Quack
enbush of DuBols, caught fire this after
noon and burned before the Are company
could reach the scene. The blaze also com
municated to another warehouse of the
same character, owned by Jas B. Davis
of this city, agent for the Dick Brothers
Brewing company of Qulncy, 111. The first
house was empty, but the latter was filled
with Ice and beer, both In keg and bottle.
The second building was damaged almost
beyond repair but the contents were pro
tected by the Ice and sawdust. Quite a
delay was occasioned by a misunder
standing at the time of the alarm, tha
report coming that the fire waa In' the
"Bchool house" Instead of the "beer house."
The origin of the blaze Is unknown, but
la supposed to have caught from a spark
from a passing engine.
A little forethought may save you no end
of trouble. Anyone who makes It a rule to
keep Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy at hand knows this to
be a fact.
