The trouble originrted over the attempt of that gigsntic monopoly, the Standsrd Oil company, t> luy their pipe lins over the briige at Bayonve City. The citizers say that the passage of the act granting right of way to the Standard ¢ mpany was secared by the free use of meney, snd the majority of the peaple do not sanction the de- mandh. of this g-asping corporation.

Of the premiums distributed yesterday he re- ceived first on Pekin ducks and White L ghorn chicks, and second on Black Cochin chieks. ~ Many close observers and fowl fanciers ssy that Mr. Axford was unjustly treated in the distribu- tion of awards, and that he did not ra- ceive the number that his exhibit just. ly entitled him to.

The Al'mun, Taylor & Co. engine, this company being represented at the fair by J. C. Clark, of Lincoln, and the J. I. Case engine, this company being represent- ed at the fair by Haines Bros., of Omab The Altman, Taylor & Co. engine was managed by Engineer Henry Schirck, and to it weroattached a tank and coal wagon, the popular threshing separator of this enterprs- ing_company, La Belle wagon, ssnd- Mr. | $: Jackson is well known throughout the | g wich power corn-sheller, sulky plow: cultivators, horserakes, etc., eight number, all loaded with a8 many hu- man crestures, large and small, for whom place and apacs coald be found. The J. I Case engine was managed by Engineer J. A. Jillson, and togit were attachcd a tank and coal tender, the moted Centennial _sepsrator brought here on exhibition by this aggressive manufacturing company, a new kind ofseparation called the **Ag" itator,”a wagon horse power esanall ler, sulky plows, and two-horse oulti- vators, seven in number. A falso impression was obtained in the minds of some, sceing the spans of ponies hitched to the Altman, Taylor & Co. engine, they were not there for draft and are required only for guid- ance. The procession passed west- ward from the machinery grounds and wholly encircled the speed ring, followed by & motley crowd of men, lads, lasses and children,and from the highest parts in the procession star spangled bannersand display bunting were unfurled to the breeze. It was generally admitted by ob- servers that the Altman, Taylor en- flne posseased very great power read- ly applied, ad that the J. L Case engine was very complete in ita equip- ments. The engines are ssid to be of ten horse power, but possess a power equal to any fifteen horses. The time bas now come when horse power, for heavy work, can be dispensed with and the forces of inanimate nature utilized and made contribute to atiain greater reaults with economy and con- centrated power. This exhibition lays one step in the ladder of advanc- rng civilization and the contest does honor to both exhibitors. Notes. —Mr. J. P.
