The |Financial Result Not Arrivod At by the Board, Next Year's Fair, Contrary to expectations and intentions the Board of State Falr managers did not fully complete the work of the fair yea- terday, as the returns from the Sioux City & Pacific and the Chicago, Minne- apolis, St. Paul & Omaha railways for coupon tickets sold had not all been de- livered over to the board. The competing points for the stat e fair as far ascan be learned are Hastings, Grand Island, Lincoln and Omaha, and it is reasonably presumed that tho chances are greatly in favor of the Gate City if favorable terms can be made with the driving park association. It is estimated that it will not cost Omaha ‘over 3,600 to secure the grounds and put them in shape for the fair and but little more in the way of a bonus will be required. It is thought by many that the legislature will not make an approp riation goon for the perma- nent location of the state fair, but will continue for another term on the five year plan. The statement was made by a member of the board at Monday evening's meet- ing that the visitors to the fair lett behind them not less than $250,000 in this city. e —— TEE REPUBLICAN RALLY, The following is the order of proces- sion and the line of march at the demon- stration of the republicans of this part of Nebraska to-morrow night. Grand Marshal —W. J. Broatch. Assistant Marahals — C. Umpherson, Samuel Stoer, John Clark, Chas, Han- ley, W. J. Hahn, Capt. Tohn Wood, Capt. Phillips, John Matthieson, The line will be formed on Douglass, with the right resting on Fourteenth street, in the following order : U. P. Band, Blaine and Logan Mounted Knights, Deum Corps, Blaino and Logan Young Men's Military Club, Ilirst Ward Club, Scandinavian Club, A. O_H. Band. Seoond Ward Club, B. and L, Irish-American Clah Colored Band. Third Ward Club. Colored Men’s Club, Fourth Waxd Club, MR, WHEELER'S FIGURES, Official Statistica of the Harvest in Nebraska, U. S, De sovTi, Nob, AGTICULTURE, PraTe Yotober 10,-—To the public —The following is & summary of the re sioner of agriculture, showiug the condi tion and yield of ¢ tober 1st, as shown by the reports received up to that port, transmitted to the U, S. commis spe O dtae, from elghty-two correspondents Whoat, roported in sixty-two counties, avers aged 17 bushels per acres, and grades in four yunties No, 1, lity-six counties No. 2, and in two counties, No. 8, Rye, reported in sixty-two counties avorazed 2} bushels, and grades in thirteen counties No. 1, forty-seven conuties No, 3, and two counties No. 3, Oats, reported in sisty-four countins, aver: bushe's, and grades in twelve counties 1, thirty-seven counties No, 2, and fifteen unties No, 8 Bantey, reported in fifty-thres countios and averaged 27 bushels, aul grades in twelve counties No, 2 and forty-one counties No. 8, and rejocted; twenty-nine counties repo Buckwheat, and the average condition at ¢ per cant, sixty-soven counties report corn, and the avorage condition at 105 per cent; soventy countios roport Irish potatoes and the averago condition at 104 per cont. and county report damage to crop by potatoe rot of 15 per cen forty counties report sweet potatocs, and the averago condition at 102 per cent, fifty five counties roport sorghum and the average at 102 per cent. The quality of all grain is better than usual and will we think grade in market evon better than reported. The reports show that the Hay crop is large and of a most excellent quality. A much larger area has been sown in Wintor Wheat than ever before in the history of the agriculture of this State. Krom reports recolved we judge that the average yield of the Winter Wheat harvested this year will excoed 25 bushels which for a State heretofore considered an ex- clusively Spring W heat State is n most excellent showing., Taking the estimat- ed acreage of 1883 and adding 10 per cent for increased acrenge of 1884 and we will have a total yield of 33,135,400 bushels for 1884 as against 27,481,000 ralsed in 1883. Our Oat crop, poor a8 it is, will yield over 22,000, 000 bushels, but of an inferior quality. Our barley crop will exceed 4,500,000 bushels, and our rye crop, raised more for pasture than the grain, will exceed 1,500,000 bushels. The corn crop is sim- ply immenso but as little has been gath- ered thus far we will wait a month or more before we approximate its yield. Some disease among the hogs called the cholera (we suppose it is so called simply because it is not cholera) for want ofa befter name, is proving quite fatal in some six counties of the state. Thero are rather mere than the usual number of delinquent correspondents this month, I have boen hoping that it would not al- ways bo thus. Respectfully, Danier H. WHEELER, S. 8.

LAYING THE CORNER. atic they The Initial Step Toward Erceline the North Omaha M. E. Churcl A Beautifur Structure to Further Adorn the North Part of this City, The beautiful autumn sun of yesterday shed its beams upon the birth of the new M. E. church at the corner of Twenty- socond and Seward streots, The project of building this fine structure has exlated in the minds of the members of this de- nomination for some months past and yesterday took permanent shapein the laying of the corner stone at 3 p. m. THE SERVICES, At that hour about 200 persons had as- sembled to attend the coremony conduct- ed by Rev. J. R. Maxfield, presiding elder of this district, who read the intro- ductory serv! A hymn, read first by Rev. George S. Pelton, pastor of the Third Congrega- tional church, was sung by the congre- gation, Prayer was then offered by Rov. E, G. Fowler, of the South Oumaha M. E. church, \ “The responsiye service next followed, led by Rev. R. L. Marsh the presont pastor of the church. Scripture reading came next conducted by Rov. I. A, Bradrick. Rev. C. W. Savidge, pastor of the First M. E. church of this city, then ad- dressed the congregation, Ho spoke in forcible terma of the need of the church in that part of the city. The writer who sald the church and school are tho great factors of civilization stated a living truth. Tho speaker concluded his ad- dress with the statement that without desiring to ray anything Jaughable ho would remark that this church would make it quito lively for the devil in that part of the city. Rev. Pelton, and Francis S, Blaynoy, pastor of the North Presbyterian church, then spoke briefly to the congregation. Prefatory to soliciting the congreation for subscriptions, Rev, Maxfield made a fow brief and humorous romarks which had the effect of putiing his hearers in a most excellent humor. Contributions to the amount of $504 were received from those present. Then followed the work of laying the corner stone, The urn containing a copy of the Bible, thechurch discipline, the New York Advocate, the Central Chris- tian Advocate, and of each daily paper In the city, with the names of the presid- ing elder, pastor, trustees, members of the building committee and the contrac- tors was cemented in the corner stone which was then scourely fixed in its place. After singing a hymn the benedlction was pronouuced by Rev. Maxfield, THE CHIRCH AND 175 MPANS, This church, as many suppose, is not & new one, but is the Eighteenth strect Methodist church transferred to North Omsha. Owing to its close proximity to the First M. E, it was felt that more ood could be done by a wider separation. The Eighteenth streat property was ac- cordingly sold for §8,700, and after can- celling n_mortgage of £3,000 against it the remainder was investod in the beauti- ful mte on Twenty-second and Seward etrects, and the material for thebuilding. I'he lot and church when completed will cost the congregation about $8,000. The debt against this property when finished will not exceed $2,500, now intended to have the church ready for dedication by February 1st, 1885, at least, and sooner if the weather permits. THE STRUCTURE. Tho church, the foundation for which has already been laid, will be built of brick, of the gothic s yle of architecture, will be thirty-five and a half feet by sixty fronting on Seward street. In front of the butlding proper will be a vestibule twelve feet by seven, A hall fourteen feet long with a class-room on each side, will lesd into the auditorium, the hall and class-rooms being o arranged that they can be made to form a part of it. The altar will be ten by eighteen oonstruced in the form of an el- lipse, eight inches above the loor and immediately in front of an arch behind which will be a recess for the choir, To the right of this will bea cozy little room to be used by the pastor as astudy, A gallery will also be over the hall, It is intended that the little church shall have a seating capacity of 400, The whole building seems to be most commodiously apoointed, and when finished will beone of the neatest little churches in the ocity, e — —Postmaster Contant was busily ongaged yesterday instoring away 26,0 00 stamped en- velopes, 600,000 2 cent and 500,000 1 cent stamps, the supplies for the next yeat's con- sumption, —— Wales Kingly Ambitions, Pais, October 14,—Queen Victorls has re- quested Gladstone to submit to the cabinet tor theie cousidaration th usstion whether pecial power cannot ba cod upon the Puince of Wales, to enable him to parucipate in the conferences of the soverelgus of Europe, m— Boys on a srike, Pirrsiung, October 14,—Boys in a number of glass fuctorien struck today for five to ten conts increaned pay. ‘The factorics closed, l —— Havre's Harbor siccked, | Havag, October 14,—A heavy d ok gate has fallen iato the sea in the harhor, Ustil it | e woval eteamiors cannt leave or enter, d Jolumbus and was read. *Reliabl ym Hooking Valley g o stato At ropublican headquar enthusiasm, A large screen has boen ere 1 on which returns were displayel to the crowd assembled, As the returns from Ohio were flashed upon the screen the great crowd on the avenue rod themeelves hoarse.

The shoes being too smail for him he gave them to Capt. Compher, who in turn sold them for $50 Oonfederate money. With the money he bought an ax and not an extea one either, but as rood ascould be got for the amount of money. The first thing he did with the ax was toslip out on two separate nights and | kill a bloodhourd each time, thus making po that much easier, After the dogs wero killed tho prisoners wore taken out to the insane asylum It was hero that Capt. McKage, assisted by two other prisonors, composed the song, “Sher- man's March to the Sea.,” A Miss Blount, of Columbla, kept the prisonors posted as to Sherman's movoments, but the first that was known ot his arrival at Columbia was an order to run the prisoners to Charlotte, N, C,, without de- lay. ’\\'hiln camping in a cotton-field, Capt. Compher amused himself by cutting down a small maplo tree with his §60 ax. Sit- ting on the stump, he called a numbor of men around him by yelling “fresh fish.” When the tumult caused by the falso alarm of fresh fish had died down, ho pronosed that they form the organiza: tion of the old soldiers they had been talking about during their captivity.

About fifty soldiers were present, all of whom joined the association, which was then called the Grand Army of the Re- public. QCapt. Alex. Compher is now a resident of Nebraska, having moved there from Bedford somo time after the war. This intoresting sketch of the formation of the G. A, R, was given at a meeting of ex- prisoners of war held at Bedford last opring which was attended by Capt. Compher and others who figured in the organization of the order, which now in- cludes in its membership a large majority of the soldiers of the late war. 'Thore aro posts in every state in the Union, and in almost every town or city. Throughout the north posta are scattered through the country distriots as well as in the towna. Shortly after the G. A. R. got under full headway politicians took a hand in running it, and it was only a short time until it was run into the ground. Ohio has been thoroughly organized but one campaign, in which the posts were per- mitted to turn out on political parades, broke up the whole thing, there not be- ing more than two posts left in the state. The wreck waa not so completo in this state, somo posts in Philadelphia, and Post 3, of this city, holding on againstall opposition. 1t was several years, possi- bly not until 1875 or '78, that the organ- ization began to show much life even in this state, but when the reaction came, and it was fully underatood that politics had been entirely abolished from the or- der, o regular boom was inaugurated.

Ohi caught the faver from this state, and now there are active, thriving posts in every county and town almost in the state. The western states are well or- ganized, but they have not been so close- ly canvansed as the eastern states. The questton is often asked: *‘What does the Grand Army do?” It doesa great deal, but it is done quietly and without flourish of trumptets, Its sick and needy are cared for, 1ts dead are bur- led, the widows and orphans of the sol- diers are lovked after, the soldiers’ or- phans’ schools carefully supervised, and homes and pesitions provided for those who finish their term in the schools, The details of the work do not coneern the general public, therefore it ie not bul- lotlned.
