Lincoln, Sept. b. (Special.) To
mrirrow will be Omaha day at the
state fair and a big crowd is expected
from the metropolis, crowding the
grounds to their fullest capacity.
As an instance of what the auto
mobile is doing for the state fair,
seven automobiles filled with repre
sentatives from twelve different fam
ilies came in yesterday ina bunch
from Loretto, a small town north of
Albion. If compelled to come by
train it is probable that less than half
of those in the automobiles would
have come to the fair, yet these peo
Die had no hesitancy in making s
trip by auto about 125 miles to be
at the lair.
Cow of Solid Butter.
The butter exhibit at the dairy
building put in by the Beatrice
Oeamery company isthe center of in
tcrest. This year a lue-sized cow
made of solid butter is the center
piece, while beside her stands a wom
an holding in one hand a milkpail,
while with the other she grasps the
hand of a boy beside her. The figures
are intended to represent "Prepared
ness," showing that while the hus
band and father arc away on the bor
der the home is fully taken care of
from the proceeds taken in from the
milk and butter from the cow. J. E.
Wallace of Lincoln isthe sculptor.
Last night a high wind with threat
ened rain drove the bulk of the crowd
to town about 7:30 and as a result
the evening exercises, with the ex
ception of the band concerts, were
not given.
Band Draw Well.
The Nebraska State band with its
double quartet of singers under the
direction of the LeBaron-Wheatly
company, has been furnishing enter
tainment of the kind which has made
state fair visitors forget all about the
big bands from abroad, which up to
a year ago have been furnishing the
"high toned" music for the fair. W.
E. Dorsey, formerly with one of the
leading traveling organizations of the
country, is, the cornet soloist with
the band this year.
Better Baby Show.
. The better baby exhibit continues,
as in past years, to be an interesting
place. Everybody enjoys seeing the
"kids" and under the management of
Mrs. L. L. Lemars and her efficient
assistant, Mrs. H. J. McBeth, the lit
tle people are receiving the right kind
of consideration. Dr. H. N. MoClan-
ahan of Omaha was here today andl
examined inca elective cnnarcn wnicn
had been entered in the contesi
There are 211 entries in all. On ac
count of previous large number of
entries the list was restricted to only
200. The extra eleven were made to
fill vacancies .which might exist.
G, M. Titus of h'amaha has a fine
exhibit of apples in agricultural hall.
The apples are packed in boxes and
show most of the kinds which do
well in this state. They are good
size, of a healthy color and make an
attractive exhibit.
Autos in Machine Hall.
Machinery hall is filled from end
to end with automobiles of every
make, kind and description. That
the "dangerous weapon" is still a pop
ular article is attested by the im
mense, crowds that gather there the
Ctire day gazing at each and every
exhibit and seeming to eb in the po
sition of the ardent lover who "could
be happy with either of the other
flcar charmer was away."
Over 4.000 automobiles by actual
count had passed through the main
gate into the grounds at 12:30 to
day, and from theappearance of every
vacant spoiouisiae tne grounds there
must have been twice that number
parked outside the fence.
Sample Fire Shown.
Through the Courtesy of the Ander
son Fire Hose company of Omaha,
the crowds are entertained each day
In front of Fire Commissioner Rid
jell's headquarters with a fire. An
automobile is driven up and at once
proceeds to catch fire. Sonic men rush
lo the scene with a chemical outfit
nd the fire is extinguished without
harm to theautomobile. It is sup
posed to show the effectiveness of
"hcmicals in putting out fires.
Some Long Hours.
Fair week brings its troubles to the
state labor commissioner as well as
lo other people. Long hours at the
ating places cause complaints."
"The female labor law provides that
'rmales employed in certain industries
may be employed not to exceed nine
hours in any one day nor more than
fifty-four in any one week, nor before
: a. ni. or after 10 p. m.," says Labor
Commissioner Coffey.

George and John Hamling, and Eddie

Attorney Prince Beaten Up
By Man He Prosecuted
Grand Island, Neb., Sept. 6. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Harm Shank, a
saloon keeper of Silver Creek and
paroled by Governor Aldrich ten days
after he was sentenced from Polk
county for arson, late yesterday in
front of his saloon at Silver Creek
assaulted Governor Aldrich's cousin,
Attorney W. A. Prince of this city,
and the latter is today confined to
his home as a consequence. Harold
Prince, son of the attorney, was also
assaulted by Tom Dwyer, a bartender
for Shank, but when he saw that his
father and himself were in a gang of
about eight men with apparently no
one to come to their assistance he
feigned unconsciousness and was pos
sibly spared a more severe beating.
The elder Prince was rendered un
conscious by a blow from Shank on
the back of the head while the at
torney was passing the saloon, after
applying a vile epithet and grabbing
Prince by the arm. Prince was an
assistant in the prosecution for Polk
county at the time of Shank's con
viction on the charge of arson, and
it is said that Shank has made many
threats against the attorney ever
since. After his parole by Governor
Aldrich there was a remonstrance
from the people of Polk county and
Governor Morehead recalled the pa
role. Shank so far as known has now
been out about three years. It was
the first time he ever met the attor
ney. PenaMns Granted.

EXPERT DELIVERS LEuTUKE
How to be stylish without being
extravagant, and how to tlrcss well
without being extreme, was the in
formation sought by Onnha women
who thronged the Brant!eis theater
Wednesday afternoon and evening lo
view the style show staged by the
House of Menagh. The fashion show
will be repeated this afternoon and
evening.
Ora Cne, fashion expert, lectured
on garments, pointing out the newest
wrinkles in suits, chapriux, after
noon dresses, evening gowns and
opera coats worn by ten beautiful
Omaha mannequins.
"Understand what you can wear
and then stick to those lines and col
ors only," he advised all women.
"Some food is poison to certain per
sons. So it is with colors. If any
color is unbecoming to you. leave
it alone. If you are a woman who
weighs 200 pounds, don't try to dress
like the woman who weighs only
ninety-five pounds."
Short Skirt Doomed.
Here is some of the valuable infoii
matinn imnarted during? the show:
The knell of the shot skirt is
sounded. Skirts on tall suits are trom
seven to nine inches from the ground,
not twelve inches, as last year.
The price of garments has gone up.
So has the waistline.
The mono-tone syle of dress is
quite the rage. Suits, boots and hat
should match.
Japanese and Chinese effects for
suit linings are the rage.
Bolivia cloth is what to ask for
