Closing Day of the Very Suc-| cossful Exhibition, Further Note of the Individual Displays of Merchandise and Macbinery. | | ‘With a General Wind-Up of the Remarkable Eyent. | | Tho Nebraska state fair for 1882 came | to a close on Saturday evening, The last day was without special in: attendance was very light, | A telegram in the morning papers esused | a rumor to be circulated that Bliine would be on the grounds in the afternoon, bnt the day passed without the jresence of that far-famed ex-secretary and pre:dential as- | the materials of which it is made, dent and the |? pirant, If numbers were lacking on Saturday enthusinsm was not, for the cheers of those who witnessed the races rung as loud as when the grand stand was packed from top to bottom. Tarly in the afterncon most of the ma- chinery was taken down and packed ready for removal, A general closing out took place at the booths and the price of watermelons declined rapidly, Exhibitors who were in attendance upon the Towa state fair de- clared that our agricultural and fruit ex- hibits were far superior to theirs, Never- theless some things were not as theyshould have been, The Lincoln pottery made a very at- tractive exhibit, and it"was disgraceful to see many of our Omaha industries, many of themgigantic in extent, quito \mrurrexent- ed. The national colors were not disn ayed upon the numero e fl .fimlh that the p triotic builders of the exhibition hal erected forthat purpose. The dust was not kept under as well as the peopls had reason to expect. On the whole, however, the management of the fair gave general satisfaction, and the faw mistakes made were not of a se- rious nature, HONORAULE MENTION, Secretary Whecler is entitled to it, for he is really and truly the “‘Boss Sec: retary,” Mr. Boynton of the Omaha foundry, who put the engines in place and man: aged the steam power department, is heir thereto, Professor A, D, Williams, who put in place the exhibit for seven counties, should be remembered, and we would not be do- ing more than simple justice were we to mention under this 16ad abott & thousand men who enthustastically worked to make the fair the grand success which it has been. We have not thespace to do justice to the exhibitors and hundreds that should have been mentioned will no doubt have to be content without seeing their names in print. Mr, M. Elguter's display in the cloth. ing line was, however, a litde too good ¢o pass over in ilence, Mr. Struther's exhibit of potatoes, ete., from away out in the west end of the state was quite remarkable, and Kearney county proved the vast possibilities of the country 200 miles west of us, THE WYMAN COMMERCIAL COLLEGE did not exhibit at the fair any spread eagles or impossiblo bucks but; it distrib- uted a tew all important facts for general consideration, and from their pay The Omaha Commercial Age, We ¢ the following artiole which will bear reading until it is learned by heart: “The mechanic who expeota to be '."n‘ master of a successful shon of his own, or foreman or manager in the factiry of ane other, will have constant need of businers habits and knowledze of business methods and operations which a pr_perly conducted business school will give bim. The same is true of the manufacturer whoss comylicated and it may be, extensive business relations with the producers and dealers who supply him with raw material, with the work- | man who cenvert su h raw material into finished wa with the werchants or ket the products of bis fac- tory, all require his oversight and direc- tion, Indend, whoever aspires to some- thing better thau a hand-to-mouth strug- gle with poverty, whether as mechanie, farmer, professionsl wan, or what not, | must of necessity be to some degree a busi- | ne's wan, and in every position in life business training and a° practical knowl- edge of finavcial affairs are potent factors in securing success,” This commercial college ia an Institution of ‘'which every citizen of Omaha should be proud, It isin the handa of the most able teachers, 1t Is ¢nducted noon true business rinciples, It is & solid inatitu: tion, It oocupies extensive apwrtment and is bringing to our city the brightest Y0uibs 1o the weet. and.

O, Ad. dis, the enterpricix and well known gen. eral agent, The wmill is the most simple in construction and hence less liable to get our of repair, Not a mill has been wrecked by the Nebraska blizzards of the last ten years. It is perfectly governed and takes care of itself when the elements arve on & rampage. No pine is used in the construe- , iron and steel are tios, but ash poplar, All at Greatly Reducsd Pric:s. 'I_‘HE DAILY BEE: DIAMON MOND: Y SEPTEMBER 1¢ o e e eV L4 . A very light wind will suffice to make this mill go, and while others are idle it is running, No noise is made by it and no prettier orna- ment for a farm yard ever was iovented. Address for further information Mr, H, C. Addis, Council Bluffs, 1o HAINES IIOK, exhibit is one of the most extensive on the grounds, and includes a large variety of the best goods in the agricultural implement ine, such as the Empire reapers, mowers, harvesters and twine binders, for which they are state agents- For the Moline plows, cultivators, harvesters, road scrap- ers, and slushers, they are also state agents, For the North Platta country they have exclusive control of the Weir plows and cultivators, The ..larseillees power shellers and feed mills, Blue bird one and two hole shellers they control for the en- tire state. They are handling for Nebraska wagons and P, K Dederioks’ w38 and baling tier; Osnge feed arnes wire chexk rowor, Chisftain hay rakes; aleo Wood royolving twenty-tive different styles of bug- giea from five different factories; and last but most_important of wll they are agents I Case thresher and traction engine, The peculiar points of excellence which characterize the goods handled by Haines Bros, are worthy of mwention, T'he Kmpire harvester has an extremely narrow platform canvas, being narrower than any other in the market. By the friction of the grain heads against the plat- form a more even elevation is secured than with any other muchine, Tue cloguing and choking &0 common is avoided in this machine by the elevating canvas project- ing one inch beyond the point of the gunrds, thus giving three inches of an ele- vation nhead of the cut. The Ewmpire twine binder is the most simple in construction and the most dura- ble of any binder in the market. During the last week this machine was in constant use for five days and it never broke a hand or mitsed a bundle during all of the time, The Bain wagon is considered through- ont the state to be the best in the market. The Moline new cultivator is a big im- provement over their old styles. and dur- ing the fair large share of attention was paid to_this very important implement. Tho P. K, Dederick hay prese, exhibit: ed by Haines Bros., has been baling hay on the grounds during the whole week. This machine is greatly improved and it bales now much more easily aud rapidly than formerly, The Moline Plow company’s goods are wellknown, They are standard in all re: spects and unexcetled for workmanship and for excellence in the materials used. The Weir plow company’s goods are equally famous for_the above named char- acteristics, but each lina has some_special advantages which make them favorites with their friends among the farmers, The Marseilles power sheller has been kept running during the fair, There are many points abont this sheller which gives color to the claim that it is the best in the market A feed mill that can be attached to a horse power by either tumbliog rod or belt, using u concave chilled burr, prinding as fine or as coarse as the consumer may de- sire, was also kept running during the faic. There is no mill with ths same size burr that can do more work in agiven length of time, The Osage feed mill is the moat success- ful corn and cob crusker known at the present day. The Chieftain and Tiffin sulky bay rakes, ench introduced in this state by Hainots Bros., hava given parfect satisfac: tion, and the prospects are for a quadru. pling of sales during the coming year, The Barnes’ wire check roweris the old reliable stand-by, and is still ahead and huafii to remain so, inch separators, a coal box and tender, two Bain wagons, a string of Moline & Weir culti zators all went spinning aronnd the track drawn by the engine aforesaid There was about two dozen wen and Loys inthe wegons enjoyiug the picnic, Pakeit all in a)l Haines Bros, have done much to 1make the fuir a success, and this enterprising firm way well be proud of their goods and proud of the attention pard to them by the sturdy farmers of Ne- braskas, CHECKING UP, Tur BEE reporter, dropping in at the office of the secretary, in the Paxton, last evening, found everybody busy checkivg up the beoks, which work was completed during the evening in order that all Inre- senting bills or claims for premiums might paid up to.day. Treasurer Hartman 'll‘ be on hand this morning with his big cash box and will take up the secretary’s orders promptly. The cash receipts were large enough that thyre is no danger of om*turunuem in the finsncial line. A PRESENTATION, By the way, speaking of the treasurer, Mr, [Hartman (was haudsomely caned on Saturday evening, Chris is one of the most genial and obligivg of men, and has always popular among those as- sociated with him in the conduot of the state fairs, In recoguition of this admir- able trait, his {riends went to Max Meyers and purchased a magnificent ebony «ane with & massive gold head and gave it to him as a souvenir, which he will doubtless appreciate for all time, CPAMPAGNE SUPPER, In this line may also mentioned the fact that on Saturday evening mine host Josse- lyn, of the Metropolitan hotel, did the square thing by his aesociates, It was l‘llll’\j week on everybody, and he wished to show his appreciation of the able man- ner in which his clerks and men had run the house and toshow them that he appre- clated it he accordingly set up the rr Heidseck in good style, and to the full satisfaction of the boys. A BOYAL DISPLAY, Among the exhibitors at the state fair, none did themeelves more credit than the well known firm of Max Meyer & Bro, As all know they own a hundsome little cottage of their own on the grounds, but, not content with filling this, they also oc. cupied con-iderable space in the fine art hall, Tt would oceupy « 1age to discribe their exhibit alone, but so well is their en. terprise, taste and generosity known that it would be unnecessary to go into details. They carry a atock such us few firm« iu the eastern cities can boast of, and the best work in_the country includes that which comes from therr house, where the best ekill is employed at all times, They had on the grounds ns eplendid display of bixques, dinmonds, silverware and fine jewelry of their own mannfacture, anl their elegant bazar w.s the center of attraction for the ladies. Among the notable features in their lot was something princely in its yalue and which it required a good deal of courage to show to the public in this day and geners- tion. This was alot of silver bricks valued at 10,000, and alto a quantity of grinn- lated gold and silver, valued & 20,600, both the products of the Omaha smelting wori 8, Ioanother dspartment th yex- bibited musical instruments of the most noted manuf ctirers and finest make, including the Steinway, Chickering and Vise piahos, fine violing, cabinet or- gans and everything inthis line which & first claes honte i Chicago or New York would keep and which is k-pt by them in stock at theie splendid house on Farnam and Eleventh streets, In aldition to this they had a fine display of cig s, imported und domestic, tobiieos and wecrsecianm pipes; also wgans and revolvers and ul \ the = paraphernalia of the chie and w ¥ the show cases in which ther ds were exhibited. wore (f their own manufacturs, It would be hard to scave up a firm that was bettor able to make a finer exhibit on such an oc- casion than this, and certainly none could be found more ready to expehd money, time and trouble in doing so, being awake to the interests of the city, with whose evowth they have been thoroughly fden- tified. AN OLD LEADER IN STYLES, A most prominent exhibit in fineart half was that made by Mr. Chas, McDonald, the enterprising Farnam street merchant, who filled up his space with a line of rich cloaks, dulmans, and other articles of a lady’s costume, that made the spot a cen- ter of attracion for the fair sex all week Mr, McDonald does nothing by halves, and in fitting up this display, as in fur- nishing his store, he went his full length, regardless of expense, and we venture to say that he There was one unusually attractive reature, and that was the line of magnifisent sealskin cloaks and sacques whichimade te ladies open their eyes and will make their husbands open their pocket books, Mr, McDonald left vesterday for a three weeks visit to N w York, and will add stillmore to his already extensive stock, A W, FULLREIDE, The only display of boots and shoes on the ground was that made by Mr. Full reide, who certainly did bimself proud, It has been usual for the merchants in this line to all come to the front and vie with ench other in the style, make and quality of their goods, but this year all took a back seat except Mr Fullreide, and he took the cake for fine work and goods toth beautiful and useful. It is greatly to Mr, Fullreide's credit that he did not let the trifling matters of expenze and troubls stand in the way of aiding in the general show and no departwent received more commendation and atten- tion than his own, He has made a remark- able success in business and is acknowl. edged to rank A No. 1, and to bs the equal of the best in the land for anything in the boot and shoe line. PARKER & BOWERS waden splendid display of agricultural implements and wagons. They doan im- mense business in this l'ne, und have their big warehouse on Jones street packed all the time with everything a farmer is likely to want, and nothing but the very best manufacturers’ goods. |T'hey turned loose during this week and in the general display ot agricul. tura! implements and” wagons, which is pronounced by competent judges to be the finest ever made in the United States, uo firm ever attracted more attention thun thie, Oue of the prlnc[‘ml foatures was the Rushford wagon, made by the Winona Wagon company, for which Parkers & Bowers aro the agents. This was the finest wagon on the grounds, and was the admiration of all, Other features deserve meniion, if space allowed of it, but the Rushford wagon was at the top of the heap and no mistake. . BRISBIN, of Council Bluffs, made a notable display of agricultural implements and farm m chinery, in which line of goods he does big business, Mr, Brisbin was one of the first on the ground with a complete ex- hibit, and he_held his own among a thou- sand competitors, The most interesting featnre ‘ngl'lu display, and one which drew geoeral atiention, was the ‘‘Minnesota Ohief” threshing machive. It s a daisy, and the farmers could hardly get away from the spot after once getting their eveson it. Mr Brisbin had many other fine pieces of farm machinery, but this was the ono which took the eyes of those who till the soil and know what will best serve in completing the work of preparing their crops for the market, THE GRAND DETOUR PLOW €O, made one of the grandest showings on the ground, sendinga full line of their pluws. the finest in the land. This was second to no exhibit on the ground in point of inter- est, and the company did & good thing for themselves in so well advertising their manufactures in a state which stands first in the Union as an agricultural state. LAST BUT NOT LEAST was the will set up on the east side of the grounds by the American Grinding Mill company, of Chicago, which was run by a lpleudh‘{ upright engine from the cele- brated Murray iron works, of Burlington, Towa, jThese two attractive pleces will loose nothing by it. IMPORTERS OF SMOKERS ARTIC “MAX MEYER &(0., ate Fair for their "'legant display of OF ALL KINDS. [ of machinery ~were exhibited by | Tue Bee and drew large crowds | from the opening to the clote ot | the fair, and were admired by everybody. | They are to be givenas premiams this fall, | and those who saw the ep endid work done | by hoth_engine and mill, will appreciate [ the good luck of she individual to whose 1ot i¢ may fall to draw the prize, BASE BALL. Saturday’s Games in Both Parks A Victory and Defeat for the Home Clubs The Fair series of games in the U, | P. grounds, in which Omaha’s favor- | ites though beaten three times by the | Browns of St. Louis, made an unv:a-! | ble record—closed Saturday with a | scrub game with the Council Blufls, | Ellick and Hutchinson of the Kanses | City club had sgreed to play with the | U. P'a, but for some unexplained | reasoh went back on their contract. | Capt Bandle was sick and Dwyer was hutfed, consequently the places of the | four wero filled with new men. | The regulars of the club did scme very fine playing, but the countless orrcrs of the new men were demoral- | izing from the start. Mr. F Fonk- | houter distinguished himself in the | field by two tly catches on the run; | a8 short stop by clean, quick pickups, and at the bat by sending the bail over the fence on the bound, making a home run. Whitney, as usual, nailed several base thieves by the cannon ball throws oi Traffley; Kurtz, ag pitcher, is an active, strong player, but his pitching, though swift and fairly safe, has not the necessary twist. Perhaps the mos. ridicuious feature of the game was placing Bryan of Council Bluffs in the iafield. His effort to help the home club were open and above board. On the Bluffs side the play- ing was strong and united at the outset, but soon relaxed, it being evident that they had an easy victory. Mack’s pitching was not as effective as at other times. Smith secured well de- | served applause for a brilliant fly catch in the right field. Other members of the club, particularly | Hagan, Kuehne and Roach, played faultlessly throughout, The club asa whole is now tho strongest in the M- souri valley, both at the bat and in the field, and 1t will be necessary for the U, P's, to import a few more first class men before crossing the river for another trial with any prospect of vic- tory. The score by innings is as follows: Tonings....1 2 3 4 & 6 7 8 U, % 0111000 1=5 C. Bluffs,.0 2 1 3 515 0 Farned runs—Union Pacific, 2; Council Bluffs, 6, Hon Funkhouser, Three-base hits—Kuehne.

THE B, & M, VICTORY, The B. & M. boys, after aseries of disastrous defeats, had the satisfaction of defesting their opponents Saturday by ascore of 4 to 1, The game was clesely contested throughout, and marked by brilliant individual work on both sides. The (uincy's were ua- able to hit Price, while Worrell, of the Quincy’s, proved himself no wild thrower for the B, & M’s, The first innng proved goose eggs for cach side, through the superior playing ot only pitcher and catcher, In the sec- ond inning the B, & M.’s got a score through Ellis' first on errorand Cole’s two bagger. The Quincy's got their one run in the seventh inning off a base by hit Fusselbachana error by Ellis, Smith's playing behind the bat was greatly ired, Cole held his posi- tion on second with ease, and made a record of three put outs.

SUNDAY SERVICES. The Dedication (f the New Baptist Church Ldifice. Harvest Home Festival at Trimty Cuurch. The dedicatory eervices at the Bap- tiat church last night were of an un- usually interesting character, the vast auditorium being crowded to its ut- It was probably the largest assembly ever gathered under a church roof in the city, and de- monstrated the general good will to- ward the enterprise that has given Ouwaha ita finest church building and o the people who will worehip there. The edifice and its finishing has al- | ready been described, and the facts relating to the earlier history of the organization recounted. Last evening the pulpit aud platform were almost hidden by a mass of flowers and ivies contributea for the oceasion and giving an additienal charm to the beautiful room, There were present, in addition to the paster, Rev. J. W. Harns, Rev. W. J. Harsta, of the Presbyteriin church; Rev., A. F. Sherrill, of the Congregational church; Rev. Blaney, of the North Omaha Presbyterian; Rov. Simm:ns, of the home mission service, who has been fifty years ir the west: and Rev. Peoples, of the Auwerican board of foreign missions, who is 1 the city en route to Siam. The dedicatory prayer was offered by Rev. Simmons and the dedicatory sermon preached by Rev. J. W, Har ris. The music was exceedingly fine, aud altogether the event was one of the most interesting that has traus- pired this year. HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL, The services at Trinity church yes- terday were conducted by Bishops Pad- dock (of the diocese of Washington Territory) and Clarkzon, and Dean Millspaugh. D.an Millspaugh read leseons from Deuteronomy, ecighth chepter; Thessaloniane, fifth chapter, and the cpistle of 8¢, Johy, firat chap- ter, The sermon was preached by Bishop Paddock, from the fifth verse of the twonty-fifth chapter of Isaiah: “Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself.” The outline was as foilows: Israel was in a low and depraved condition, #0 that even their prophet doubted God’s providences, But God speaks through this prophet the promises of great blessings for Israel and foretells of a coming Receemer. Inaiah feels his danger and guilt in judging God wrongfully. Comparisons of Christians to.day with Isaiah’s time, Darknessis God’s lizbitation, God secretes himself in nature; we are not capable of solving the process but we see his gooduess in the bountiful barvest. God in the heavens is beyond our comrehengion; God in revelations is the God ot truth and darkness are his ways, righteousness and judgment his seat. His book is not a ecientific work but a hoog for our instruction, Man enter tai svan and fruitless s cculati ng’ as 1o tme and mode of creation and God’s designs, Attempts at explana- tion but deepen the darkne: God gives us remedy but not cause, But God’s numerous manifestations for our zood calls forth our thaukfulness.
