The publication In Tho Bee, describing
the manner In which the majority mem
bers of the Douglas County Agricultural
society have been manipulating the so
called Douglas county agricultural fair
has caused a stir In the ranks of those
who have been members of the close cor
poration during the time.
It now develops that the annual elec

siclety have been huge Jokes. These
elections havo been hold at Elkhorn.
There the fifteen members have been
holding their meettngs, notloe of the tlmo

paper not read In Omaha and never scon
by a majority of tho stockholders. How
ever, they hae been seen by the element
In control and possession of the offices.
When the eelctlons have been held,
board members holding the majority of
power have Journeyed to Elkhorn. Arriv
ing there and looking over the crowd In
attendance, they have called the meet
ings and transacted the business, pro

meetings have been adjourned until later

Is where minority members who have
been desirous of making the Douglas
county fair a real success say that thoy

For years these minority members of
the association have been making ex
hibitions at the fall fairs held in con
Junction with the Ak-Sar-Ben festival.
They insist they have brought In the
best of their farm products, equally as
good as the exhibits of the prize winners.
yet about all they have over received has
been honorable mention.
Investigations have been Instituted by
those who have exhibited, but not won.
prizes, and they assert they have dis
covered a peculiar condition of affairs.
They say that the majority of the prise
winning exhibits aro placed by the board
members, who are In the majority, mem
bers of their families and their particular
friends, thus forcing the division of the
11,000, or so appropriated each year by
the county, to bo divided among a few,
bringing to them a fairly good sized sum.
A further Investigation, minority mem
bers of the board say, shows that almost
without exception the Judges appointed
have been men known to be favorable to,
or under obligations to the professional
exhibitors.

Health Commissioner R. W. Connell
Circulates Helpful Notices.
RESPONSIBLE FOR DISEASE
Reports Bhorr that Seven Thonsand
Children Die Yearly In Nevr
York City nm Result of In
fections from Insects.
Health Commissioner Ralph W. Con
nell, has started his campolgh against
files. Circulars have been printed and
over the signature of the health depart
ment are being sent to all parts of the
city. The circular Is as follows;
Files it l'liitiuc of PIhkucs.
Tvnhold favor and summer complaint
of children aro two diseases for which
tho fly Is chiefly responsible, in the
Spanish-American war disease killed
many mora boldters man Duuets. Ty
phoid fever was prevalent In all camps,
and many regiments which never left
American soil found the common houao-
fly more deadly than the enemy a guns.
The actual loss of this country from
typhoid fever approximates 060,000,000
annually. In New York City alone 7,000
children die each year from summei
complaint
Tho manner In which these diseases
are transmitted will be seen to bo uulte
direct and simple. The files, always
eating or drinking, wander upon decay
ing garbage, refuse and other filth, or
about tho helpless, bed-ridden sick In
searcn or rood. At these times tneir uny
feet, wlntrs and bodies become covered
with millions of bacteria, or disease germs
wncn the meals are being prepared, or
at the table, the same files walk over
the family food, leaving great numbers
of germs upon the victuals, which soon
enter the human body, A similar pro
cedure transpires when flies aro allowed
to congregate about the baby's milk or
Its bottles. "A fly tn the milk may
mean a baby In tho grave."
Tho thought of such conditions Is re
pulsive, but the actual damaire to health
and loss of life is Incalculable. Is It not
worth tho whllo of every housekeeper to
take all possible precautions to exter
minate this pest? Has not every occu
pant of the house the right to Insist that
tus neaitn be safeguarded? A nation
wide effort Is to be made during the
coming summer to enlighten the people
concerning this evil and to prevent the
prevalence of files. The success of, this
campaign wilt depend upon each indi
vidual doing all ho or Bhe can. Below
nre a few rules, which, if rigidly ob
served, will free your houeo of files.
Screen all doors and windows, esnec-
tally those of the kitchen and dining
room.
Keep all foods In the pantry covered or
tcreened.
Flies brean only In the presence ot
filth. Do not allow decaying matter to
exist in or near your house.
ivcep tne na on tno garbage con.
Bee that your sewerace Bystem Is In
gi'..l order
Use plenty of good fly-paper, but keep
It out of reach of children.
Keep the flies away from the sick.
Sticky fly-paver, trans and llauld
poisons are among the things to use tn
killing files, but the latest cheapest and
best Is a solution of formalin or formal
dehyde in wator. A spoonful of this
liquid put Into a quarter of a pint of
water and exposed In the room, will be
enough to kill all the files.
Hostetler Suggests
Way to Aid Veterans
KEARNEY, Neb., May 29.-(Speclal.)
Representative M. A. Hostetler of
Buffalo county in a letter to a Kearney
newspaper suggests that means to send
the veterans, who fought at Gettysburg,
to the fiftieth anniversary reunion of the
battle, ba furnished hv thn mAmliArii nt
the legislature themselves. In his letter
he says:
I do not blleVA thnt wa ihnuM nlnn
the veterans where they must feel that
wc are begging a subscription for
them, but Instead we should have them
feel that the state Is back of thia pa
triotic movement) even though it has
developed that the legislative appro
priation is insufficient for the purpose
ntended. They irave thnlr nervlces nnd
risked their lives for the state and
nation, and this state la bltr cnoueh
and patriotic enough to send the re
maining veterans of the blue and the gray
to the old battlefield for this memorable
anniversary. It should be possible to
provide so that all may go, and I feel
sure ioai naa tne iato legislature an
ticipated the present situation there
would not have been any lack of funds
for the proposed excursion.
If there is no other way to do this
and do it quickly, I bellovo It can be
done by bringing the matter at once
to the attention of the members of the
last legislature, who will in turn be
glad to advance a sum sufficient to
carry Into effect the plan which they
acted upon In good faith, and take
chances on reimbursement by the next
legislature, ana in oraer to test tne
matter I am enclosing my check for
f76 payable to the' order of the Hub,
to do enaorsea Dy you to tne proper
persons for the purpose stated, believ
ing that the state legislature will reim
burse the legislators who advance this
fund.

STUDENTS PRESENT PLAY
Crolghton Men Give "Prince and
Pauper" at Auditorium.
MANY APPLAUD THE WORK
Dramatisation of Mnrlc Trmln's
Book Afford nrenlnsr of Enter
tainment to Irfnr Andlence
of Friends of School.
Students of the Crelghton arts college
presented their annual play for the bone
fit of the students' library to a largo
audience at the university auditorium last
evening. "The Prince and the Tauper."
a dramatisation of Mark Twain's novel
by that name, was tho play chosen for
the occasion, and called forth rounds of
applause.
The acting was far above that of most
college plays, and caused the onlookers
to forgst that they were witnessing on
amateur production. Preston McAvoy, as
Miles Hendon, showed rare talent espe
cially In the third act where he appeared
most prominently.
The play in baaed upon a legend handed
down from the sixteenth contury during
the reign of Henry VIII. In England. Ed
ward, prince ot Wales, dissatisfied with
his pentup life as successor to tho Eng
lish throne, meets the pauper, Tony
Canty, and they deaortbe, each to tho
other, tholr manner of living. In a spirit
of boyish freedom they exchange olothes,
and, favored by a personnl likeness, de
ceive the guards about tho palace. When
the guards seek to eject the supposed
pauper, he declares himself tho Prince.
But too late. As ho ts protesting his Iden
tity, the pauper's father, John Canty,
appears and leads him away. John Canty
la a thief, and tho prince's assertion ot
his royalty only meet with scorn from
Canty and hut associates. On tho other
