LINCOLN MAN KILLS SELF Jfm Bids Hee-elre for the foMlrao. loa of Nw Balldlnas at Krarirr and Pfr . Kormala. I Nebraska . J (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb.. Sept. 10 (Special Tele gram.) The Nebraska State fair closed to day at 4 o'clock with the grounds Btlll com fortably filled with visitors, there being total of U.686 admissions against a total of t,6I a year ago on the last day. The stata fair board will meet tomorrow to check up lis accounts and see Just where It stands financially. Today the board paid out $30,000 to prise winners and others and warrants are all ready for the remainder. The board believes It will be Shy about tS.OOO, though this cannot be de termined yet. No Beds for Fair Visitor. Many visitors to the fair went away from the city feeling dissatisfied with the treat ment accorded them by the city. Scores of persons were unable to secure lodgings on Wednesday night and many of these eat up all night In chairs at the Lincoln hotel, while others remained at the Bur lington depot and sat up In the watting room. This necessity was due entirely to bad management, for there were plenty of rooms out In the city, but the stranger knew not where they were located. The commercial club secretary excused himself by giving a statement to the local papers that visitors to, the fair spent the day sightseeing and then half the night the same way before trying to get lodging. The Information booth at Tenth and O streets was closed at 11 p. m. After that hour several trains reach Lincoln and those who came In on those trains were unable to secure rooms and they found no one able to direct them to lodging bouses that were not already full. This year the merchants did not furnish the lights which are usually strung across O street and there was little attempt at decoration of the stores, which was com mented. upon by many of tha visitors. The people of Lincoln did not attend the fair In any great numbers, and so notice' able was this that oven the local papers commented on It. Havelock was on the map from the day the fair started until the gates were closed today. Parties brought beer Into the city from Havelock ' In suit cases, grips and trunks. One party who had beer shipped In was unable, under the ruling of the ex else toard, to have It delivered to his hotel by a transfer company, so he hired a wagon, drove to the station, got his beer, loaded It himself and hauled It to his room. All of whloh h did under the super vision of a policeman. This story was told by one traveling man to another. Llaeola Maa Commits Salclde. Word was received In Lincoln tonight that 'Will C, Phillips, for eight years clerk of the district court, had killed hjsiself at the Coatee hotel In Kansas City tonight.

The board decided also to visit the va rious towns which want the new normal schools, starting out on Its trip October 11. By that time the board hopes to have a decision from the supreme court on the legality of the act which created It, No TJaloa Depot. Representatives of the various railroads nterlng Lincoln held a confer Ice today with the boosters ' for the Union depot, with the general result that It looks as though Lincoln will not get the Northwest or Missouri Paoifto or Rock Island to go Into too deal. Each of these roads has a good depot and It Is probable that the Union Paclflo will some da.' make ar rangamenta to com Into town over the Burlington. Money from Forest Reserve.
