L ——— THIRTY THOUSARD The Attendange at fhe Fair Yoster- fay. The Handsomest Nebraska Bred Babies, The Most Accomplished Young Lady in the State, The Racen and Other ¥ the Great Show, Thursday was ihe biggest state fair day ever seon in Nebraska, and it appearod that not only tho weather but everything olse was propitious. With break o' day, the crowd to drift toward the grounds, and every street and avenue was filied with moving vehicles, while the sidewalks were thronged with such as chose to go out on foot, The day dawn- ed beautifully bright and clear, and the temperature was as pleasant as ever blessod a September day. The trains on the various ronds came in loaded down with passengers, and the number of visi- tors from abroad was supplemented by thousands from the city., Those who went out early had the gratification ot witnessing a fine artillery drill by & com- pany of the Fifth regiment, which took placo on the open space j ust west of Sul- phur Springs and the parade which fol- began lowed it. Many wished that it cou'd have been given inside tho track within the fair grounds a it would have been @ rare treat for both visiters and Omaha people. Each hour of the forenoon saw the throng increased, and it was evident that it was to be a great day. The halls were filled to repletion, the avenues filled with people, the side shows and games all kept busy, and the crowd without the gates as remarkable for its numbers as that within, THE MORNING PROGRAMME included a fine exhibition of valuable horses in the ring, and after that, the six “‘traction” engines were run in, and the econe was like a carnival of steam en- gines, the various machines being run about the track and across the field as if exercised for their health, One of the engines ran into a ditch in the centor of the ground and was, after much trouble, pulled out by another, the accident drawing a very large crowd. While waiting for the main part of the day's programme to begin, Tur Bee reporter visited the POULTRY DEPARTME Seahs where hundreds of people were inspect- ing the display, which is this year far superior toany ever before made in Ne- braska. The most striking object as one enters the hall is a trio of light Brabmas. These are perfect birds, as well as the whole Asiatic class, which is well repre- sented by the following varieties: Light and dark Brahmas; Buff, Partridge, white, and black Cochins. Of the two former grades there are some excellent blood, among others being birds that will scale 90 points and upwards. Game fowls have thus far been neglected by our Nebraska poultry fanciers, there be- ing but a few fine birds. One coop of black-red pyle game, are fair birds, how- ever showing impure blood. Of the Spanish class there are white and brown Leghorns, and one coop of golden spangled Polands; one of “‘white faced, black Spanish” (without the white face.) Of the combination, or reconstructed varieties, the ‘‘Plymouth Rock'” perhaps tho most profitable breed of fowls for the farmer, as well as the fancier, are shown in profusion. Also eight or ten coops of Wyandottes. Four coops of Pekin ducks and one of TRouens, were the center of Jattraction, all being extra fine specimens and prize birda, ‘Pnere aro no thoroughbred geeso on ' grounds, two coops of high grade Toulouse uud two of common being the only representatives. OF tho pot stock, one coop of common white rabbits represents thd state. The ot stock has nover had any induc offered {or looted, of pigeons alove, whic! t ction in itgelf 2 will o an impr ment, An intoresting ex in bit 83 made SWINE there beinz about 200 pens filled with the beat breeds of hogs, The larze mejority aye Poland Chirvas, of w there is some fine imported 80 mo of the Nobraska bred stock posac meauy fine points as the oughbreds. The other aro Borkshire, Yorkshire, Chester White and Jersey Reds, all being good. Of the Berkshirea thereare but fow entries, This being a small boned variety, does not adopt Liself to the utility of the big corn crops of Nobraseka, as the larger houed varieties do. OF the Yorkshires, there arosix pens of extra fine specimens, Their short noses and depressed face (a la John Kelly) are considered by sorae brecders to be most commend- able (in a garden patch). The Chester Whites aro good stock and in this line are about thirty entries, Many breeders prefer the white animals to the colored breeds and the Chester white 18 the universal favorite For general use and packers’ purposes, this breed ranks foremost, as the animals are longthy and produce more side pork per capits than any of the feeders, Tha Jersey reds belong to a combination breed and their origin is as yet questioned by the breeders, They are said to |:Y,c>l other brecds for hardiness, Some breeders claim them to ba cholera proof, and for frontier hog growing, whero the animals are subject to neglect, they ap: pear to thrive the best of any broed About forty pens of the various breeds ave brought in by outsidera, principally from Towa and Llinois, and represent some sweep stake and fir prize stock that is hard to beat and ie held unas a guiding star for our Ne braska breeders.

THE POTTERY is ropresentod here by that genfal and acoomplished gentleman, Mr, D. Van Court, who has somo poculiatly novel specimens of thelr burning, the use for which they are adapted heing satisfes- torily explained to the reporters. VAN BRUN of Council Bluffs, have & large and com- plete display of goods, Including a large exhiblt of buggies from the manufactory of Davis, Gould and Co. of C'ncinnati, represented at the grounds by I .. A, W, Courson, their salesman, Thes: buggies aro handled by Van Brunt, 7' ompson and Co,, who have a territory coverin Nebraska and Western Towa, Their c struction, beauty and strength effectually overcomes the old prejudice against Cin- cinnati buggies, for a more perfect vehiclo in elegance and durability could not be imagined. This firm also handles a full lino of top and opon buggies, jump seat and four passenger carriages, etc. The exhibit is one of the finest on the grounds. Mr, A, W. Courson is one of the fin- est traveling salesmon cn the road, cov- ering several of the western states and territories, and is popular with all with whom he is brousht in contact, as well as most successful in his work. HEYN THE PHOTOGRAPHER K. ks very iticont, nickel LOUVISVILLE THOMPSON & (0., has one of the finest displays on tho ground in his department, and demon- strates the perfection attained in his art. Among the larger pictures is a very life- like and perfect one of the late Dr, Stelllng and a similar one of Dr. Graddy, both of which, for tone and finish, are not to be surpassed by any eastern artist. His colored photographs are exquisite, the lace, drapery and general detatls be. ing porfect. Threo large cases of card and cabinet sized photos would defy competion and show great taste and study as to artistic effect. In fact one of the finest displays in this line ever seen in the west ia that of Mr. Heyn. THE BABY SHOW was one of the features of the afternoon programme which excited great interest. Hon, E. B, Grinnell, of the state board, offered, last fall, a special premium of a barrel of apples each for the handsomest Nebraska bred boy and girl, not over two years of age. Considerable compe- tition was excited by this offer and the year's crop was unusually fiuc, Eatries were slow in coming in but the number and variety of the exhibits whan finally turned over to the committoo was such as to greatly perplex them in nusking the awards, although all were cxperts in baby-culture. The exhibition of “‘class 16" took place in the east end of Fine Art halland no painter could produce such a picture as that of the eight little faces that met the eyesof the com- mittee] ‘with a baby's inquisitive look, Mr. Grinnell had chosen as his committee three rcporters, repre- senting the Herald, and Idaho Journal and Tue Beg, who have herds of their own numbering one, two and three each, and none of whom had made entries for this exhibition. The Idaho gentleman had a fine specimen on the ground. but although it was eired in Nebraska, he said that it wes dammed in Idaho, and he could not consistantly enter it. After inspecting the babies the com- mittee retired to a sunny spot to award the prizes. but horo a dispute aroso over the matter, and acter several votss by ballot, it was necessary to lot the majori- ty rule prevail, as it was impoesible to agree unanimously, and the audienco was becowing impatient for thois decigion. The result was that the pre um to the handsomest boy baby was giv. 1 to Walt- er, the 14 month old son - { Mr. and Muya, Thos, DoPuy, of Omaha, who is a beautiful, blue eyed, gol haired fellow with a splendid head and perfec form, Tho handsomest little girl was | 1 to be little Fay Chapman, of co, pehild of 19 months and as I vretty as & picture.

The employos, attaches and deadheads on the dtound on pasess was put at 5,000, and it was believed that those who went in on railroad coupons, not counted, waas from 8,000 to 10,000, A perfect sea of faces was v the reporter’s stand insi streteh, and no eventin Om belioved, called tc from an over, such a vast ivis P soncourse of people.

Cuddy is an Omaha journalist and one of the best men that ever struggled through the battle of editorial life. @ Mzrs. Moore, of Papillion, mother of Mr. Frank Moore, of the R. M. S., was in attendance at the state fair yesterday and enjoyed herself very much. There was a nice display of double driving horses in the ring yesterday morning, followed by a similar display of single driving hurses. There were eight entries in the latter class and they made a very fine showing. Piano music has been plenty in the various halls all week. Among the pro- ficient performers from this city were Miss Pierco, Prof. Chas.

The convention was called to order by Morton, chairman of the state central committeo, The namo of James . Boyd was proposed as tempo- rary chalrman, The name of James E. North, of Platte county, was also pro- sented. Mr. Morton informed the con vention that it had been ordered by the state coniral committee that if two names or more should be presented the roll CALLED BY COUNTIES, nominate candidates for democratic comin lection ase J. Sterling SHOULD The roll call was began when a motion was mado and carried that James I, Boyd be elected the temporary chairman Mr. Morton appointed Messrs. Glover, of Washington, and Harmon, of Frank- lin, to escort tho tomporary chairman to tho rostrum, Mr. Boyd thanked the convention for tho honor and asked the pleasure of tho conven- tion, The nomination for tomporary secretary then followed. The names of John R, Merkley, of Knox, Jacob Han- cock, of Douglas, J. G. P. Hildebrand, of Pawnee, Cantield, of Cedar, and James McMahon woro proposed. 1t was moved and carried that these gontlomen act as secrotaries, On motion the committee from the an- ti-monopoly convention which met in Lincoln \Vadueld:fint were given tick- ots and seats in th#®tonvention. A motion to give the delegates of the congressional convention, assembled in this city last evening, seats in the con- yention was lost. At this point in the convention MR, MORTON WAS CALLED FOR, and asked to be excused. Green, ol Buflalo, was called out elso and ce- clined. Mzr. Morton, 23 chairman of the cen- tral committee, reported to the conven- tion that that committee recommended that it be composed hereaftor of four members from each judicial district. No action wag taken, as the organization of the convention was only tomporary, as ruled by the chair. An attempt was made to appointa committee on credentials, but the motion that tho secretary of the state central committee read the names of those dele- gates whose seats were not contested pre- vailed, Considerable time was spent by dele- gates from various counties in calling for absent members. Fox, of Knox, aroso and said he hoped this body would not turn itself in a CHARLIE ROSS CONVENTION by hunting up the lost children Israel. Mr. Smails secretary then read the names handed in to him and as therc were no_contests the list was adopted as that of the committee on credentinls, sub- ject to any corrections that might be necessary. It was moved by McClellan, of Seward that a committee of seven on permanent organization be appoluted. A substitute was made by Goss, of Sarpy, that the temporar y organization be made pe»ma- nent, and was carried. On motion of Hildebrand, of Pawnoee, a committee of seven on resolutions was appointed by the chair. Hildebrand, of Pawnee, Castor, of Saline, Morton, of Otoe, Goss, of Sarpy, and Paddock, ‘of Knox, were constituted the committee. O'Conner, of Douglas, moved that a committee of thirty-seven be appointed to confer with the committee appointed by the Lincoln convention for that pur- pose. Considerable time was spent dickering over the size of the committee, during which timea delegate stated to the chair that a member of the anti-mo- nopoly sonvention was in the room, and wished to present o resolution. CRIES OF “‘BUTLER, BUT of eIty were heard, that gentleman responding when his name was called. The chair ruled that he could not be heard as an- other matter was bofore the house, A motion to luy the motion on the t hear Mr, Butler's resolutions, ried. Mr. Butler as a representative of the national anti-monopoly convention Lad read a communication from that body to the effect that it had appointed a committee of five to notify the demo- ic body that it was at that time in seseion at the cityghall, The motion to appoint the original committee of thirty-seven was again called five ( Creighton this diateict was given al members instead of four the number lowed the others. The report of the conference com mitteo was called for, and, as it had not yot appearod, a, motion was made that a committeo of three be appointed to_wait upon it, and what it had done. Covell, of Otoe, rose aud stated to the convention that he had just roturned from the conference, and that learn 1T WAS STILL AT WORK, The committeo as selected was adopted by the convention. A resolution endorsing Cleveland and Hendricks was handed to tho sceretary road by him and adopted by the conver tion, with throe rousing cheers for the democratic nomine Mr. Morton was again called for who tilled up the time the convention was wailing for the appearance of the com- mittee by a neat little speech, touching lightly upon tbe tarifl question, When ho had concluded his speech to the convention at 2a, m. the conference committeo appearod aud through Rolf, of Otoe, submnitted its report to the conven- tlon, which by its terms gave the anti- monopolists two electors, the democats two, the greenbackers one. Tho oflices of governor, tresaurer, secretary of state and attorney-general wore given to tho democrats, and loutenant-governor, auditor, commis: sioner of public lands and bulldings and suporintendent of publio instruction to the anti-monopolists, The auti-monopo- lists were allowed also to name the can- didates of the university. It was further agreed that the ofticers nominated be SUDMITTED FOR RATIFICATION to each party. Objection was made to the last clause of the agreement and a motion was mado to striko it out. An earnest debato followed upon the question, in which a member of the committeo stated that it had not beon adopted by a majority of tho conference comwittee. O'Day of Autelope, Andorson of Dougla Goss of Sarpy, and Abbott of Ricl ardson, spoke upon the motion. When theso gontlemen had finished Hon. R. §. Maloney, of Richardson, chairman of the conferonce committee, arose and gave his views on the question to the convention, The old gray-haired ora- tor's remarks were listened to IN PROFOUND SILENCE and when ho was about to close delogates in overy part of the houso cried out “(io on! *Go on!"” The motion being put the chair was in doubt,and a division was called for, resulting in the motion being lost. The roport of the conferonce pmmitteo was adopted by a largo ma- t) resolution monop- Maloney offored a denouncing the railroad lies; was voted down. Hon. J.

Mallon, Watch- maker.” Behind the row of convales- cent time-pieces hanging in fthe window, a little man with a shock of red hair bent over the narrow work bench. Several chanco passors, catching a glimpse of the paste board sign hanging in the shop, stopped to read it. “D.y-n-a-m-o-8, that must be a new nanto they have got for pickpockets,” stda young fellow, who spelled the word for his companions, As the reporter crossed the threshold the watchmaker looked up from his work, “How do you do? T merely wished to inquire about ths sign.” “Tho sign; yes, everybody seems to think it strange, but just wait until the exhibition opene, after the great electri- cal machines get in running order, and then you will seo the peopla coming in here to ieave their watches after the first experience. “Of what?” i “Why, the effect of an atmosphere sur- charged with eleotricity aoting upon the delicately adjusted steel parts of a watch,” “In what way?” lowing is the committee: Ed. Shelden of Otoe, A. J. Sawyer of Lancaster, George Warner, chairman, of Pawnee. Mr. Brown toox the floor and made a short speech in which he took occasion to thank the convention for the high honor conferred upon him and assurred the gentlemen assembled that he fully un- derstood the responsibility thus Iaid upon him and that he was propared and wil- ling to tako upon himself such responsi- bility. He said that during the canvass “Thoso parts become magnetized— charged with electricity. Simply stand- ing beside one of those pow erful machines is sufficiont to magnetize a delicately adjusted time-piech. Have you never soen a magnetized watch. Here is one If allow to remaln so for the purpose o showing skeptics. Wait a moment until T wind it up. “It's an old Swiss movement that be- longed to a young man who worked in ono of the electric light and power com- he would take occasion to meet the dele- gates in their own countles and with their help he would make a canvass of which none need bo ashamed. He spoke in a hopoful way of tho futuro of the democratic party, and said that when he had served his two years term in con- gress (as he bolieved that he would be elected) that he should return the trust placed n him untarnished oven by ‘a suspicion, It was moved that a committee be ap- pointed, consisting of & member from each county to act as a ‘member of tho congressional.

P's by the St, Paul' = Score 7 to 5, One of the largest audiences of the season witnessed yestorday the most in- glorious defeat the Union Pacifics have ever met, The St. Paul's gained their vantage ground in the first two in- niugs, through their slashing fine bat- ting and the almost helpless opposition offered by the U. P’s, The score mado by the visitors these two innings, although not increased, defied tho best eflorts of the local champions to oqual. The great redoeming features of the game wore the two magnificent double plays of Visner and Walsh, The former made the longest line throw ever made on the grounds, St. Mary’s park ought to havo its seat- ocity tested to its furthest limit at this afternoon’s contest, more facina- tion exhibitions of the national game have never been seen in Omaha, than those of in panies down-town., He came in here about two months ago to lave the watch put in order. He supposed it merely wanted overhauling and cleaning. It had run down, so I wound it up and ex- amined the movement. In a minute T knew what was the matter. I said to him, ‘““You work in some place where there is a great deal of electricity, don't youl' *Oh, yes, ho answored, I work at the Electric light and power corapany’s place.” So I told him that the watch was magnetized. He bought another one of me and I took his in trade, “There, now, just notice those two springs; see how the coils strike and quiver. Every pinion in that watch is magnetized, Look at that pinion cap through the magnifier; see how it trembles, The watch may run ten hours all right, then stop for two or three hours and go on, or it may stod a dozen times in an hour. A magnetized watch acts as if it were bowitched. In fact people have declared to me that their watches were bewitched. 1 laugh at the notion and demagnetize the affected parts. Then they think L prac- tice the black art. “Seriously, though, I expect to do a large business in looking after watches during the exhibition. You remember the electrical exhibition in Paris in 1881- and '82] Well it was then that horolo- gists told of the startling fact t hat watches were affected by electrical currents. Watchmakers there for a time were com- plotely puzzled at the erratic actions of the time-pieces brought them for repair. At lengtha bright young fellow named La Force discovered the cause and almost made a fortune demagnetizing watches. He charged a high price for his work, for he kept his knowledge to himself.” “Magnetized watches? oh, yes: we now and then have them brought to us for treatment,” said M. J. Valentine, an expet watch repairer in the establishment of H., Muhr's Sons, at Seventh and Chest- nut streets, 1 had a case of that kind only a short time ago. A gentleman brought me a valuable chronometer bal- anco watch, It had ‘fits,’as he expressed it. The watch would stop for 20 or 30 minutes, then go on as well as ever, then stop again and 50 on, It was not & very bad case of magnetism; he had only been in the habit of visiting the electric light works on Arch street and standing by the machine, I demag- netized his watch in 48 hours by using tho present sorics, Following is the | ho Knglish garlic juice remedy, butit s oflicial rcore for yesterday: very slow work, Three or four days is UNION. raciFIcs, usually required to demagnetize a serious ot ro A Elcage.
