THE DAILY BEE-SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 1885, LINCOLN. A Splenfid Eibit Promised st Ne- braska’s Annnal State Feir, Every Department Filled to Over= flowing. Tho University anda Its Land Oase— Tne Water Ways Convention —0ity Notes, AT THE OAPITAL, THR STATR FAIR, The assurance of Secretary Furnas that the atate fair now being held would be one of the very best ever inaugurated by any state, soems to be realized, The untiring efforta of those in charge have ffroduced a display which is a credit to the people of the state. The rain of the Inat fow days has not interfered with the work, and although all ia in com- plotion, everything will be arranged to-day. The headquarters building is well adapted for the purposo for which it was erccted, and into it all of the officials moved yesterday. Agri- oultural machinery, art and floral halls, and the various buildings are about com. pleted, together with a number of buildings up by private parties for their special ex- ibits, Three thousand entries on the secre- tary’s book have ulready been received, and applications_are etill being constantly made for space, Oaptain Harry Hotchkiss, with a force of assistants, has erected the ““Nebraska Bartholdi,” which will attract much attention. 1t fs impossible to make individual mention of tho exhibits, We can only say that every derartment is complecte, and notably the ma chinery and agricultural departments, Probably the most notable arrival was the exhibit of T. W, Harvey. of Tutliogton, this state, consistiog_of reven oarluads of Polled Angus cattle, President IHill, of the Minne apolia & Manitoba rond, whose cattle has been on exhibition at Des Moines, will also bave them hero, Each of these two gentle- men have determined to posscss the finest hards of Sotcn ycattle in the country, and have spent thousands of dollars in their pur- chase, THE UNIVRRSITY, The collegiate year of the state university which commencad Thursday, promiscs to b a most successful one, The reputation of the school i3 extended and deservedly sol bota of which facts are clearly explainible when 15 is considered that on tha faculty's rolls are namos of men of national reputation in their departments and that studsats from Ohuo, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Towa and Colorado maziculated this week “Phe present year promises to be the most prosperous axnd satisfactory one in its history, 50 per cent, more students having entered the freshman clnss than last year, which yesr wai an _increase of b _per cent, o that of 1883, and that it is much harder to enter now thau in either of those years, The inference is plain, ' T'he policy of the university heretofore has been to drain the Latin school of the univer- sity, In this respect a change has been msde, the purpose being to have tha schools do their proper work 80 that eventuslly the Latin sohools muay he discontinued, and the uniyer- sity will be what it shou'd be—simply a state university. This will of course raise the standiog of the high school, Lectures at tne Medical College will be commencad Monday, A large number of uew students have entered and most of the old ones are now bacl, The success of this de- partment is largely due to the energy and ability of the dean, Dr. Mitchell, who has spared no pains to make it a succese, AT THE STATE HOUSE, News at the state house is decidedly scarce, nothing bat routine work being done, and and very little of that this week, most of the officials” having spent it at Beatrice, among whom were Governor Dawes, Auditor Bab- ocock, Secretary Roggen, Attorney General Liese, General Cobb and Land Commissioner Seott, together with some of the clerks THE WATER WAYS CONVENTION, Hon, A. J. Sawyer, who has been in at- tendarce upon the water waya convention, at St Paulas a delevate,has returned home and in answer to a queetion by ycur corretpondent, said that he ihought the unanimicy with which the recommexdation for a largef{appro- priation by congress for the improvement of navigation would result in much good in in- fluencing congress in its action, THE UNIVERSITY LAND CASE, In the case of Charles E. Bessar vs. Bab- cock, which will bs remembered as the uni- versity case, applicstion has been made to Chief Justice Cobb for a writ of error to the United States supreme court, As Judge Cobb entered a dissenting opinion at the time ofits decision, it is very llkely the writ will be granted. This is a case of much importance, and involves the question as tr whether the board of regents have the control of the money arlsing from the leases and sales of the uni- versity lands, or specifio appropriations must be made from the fund so arising by the leg- irlature, CAPITAL NOTES, A large numbsr of people from here have been in attendance at the reunion at Beatrice, Farragut_post No, 25 going in a body.

There was o lond wail of complaint at the court houee yesterdsy qn account of the dampness which prevaped the build- ing. Thealr was humid and molsture had sottled on the floors and furnitare to such an extent that it looked as if the roo! hiad been removed and the raln had fallen directly Into the Interfor. There has been no fire lo the bulldiog for two monthy, ard when the cold aud damp weather crmd on it was found that the grates In the heatlng apparatus were burned out and had to be removed, Owing to the newness of the buildiog it should have been theroughly heated every night untll the dampnees had been taken out of the walls, (lonial Mike Lahey, the eng'neer at the coanty building, telephoned thls morning at 2 o'clock that he was spend- ing the eutiro night in the effort to get up enough steam to heat the structure sufliteatly to drive the chilly feeling that pervades tho structare awsy. Tc-dsy, no doubt, the varlous county officers will find their offices comfortably warm and dry. e ——— ¥Fino Puliceman, A communicailon has been received from the woman whose opera glasses were “‘borrowed” by s pollceman, e meptioned In this paper, deny!ng that in ber uote to the marshal she said that he was *'a falthfal officer,” She thinks he returned them beoause It was a case of ““force.” The ‘‘puerlle policeman,” wome of whose explolts were recently published in the Bee, hes at last committed a “blander” which has cansed him to be suspended from his position. While on his beat ome night, recently, he entered a saloon and took a saat. After remalnlng about an hour in the place, the proprietor suggested to the of. ficer that it wonld be a good Idea for him to ge ont on the street, as the polics woere not pald for sitiing in raloons while on dut; The officer took umbrage at this remark, and sald that he ‘‘knew his busines The saloon keeper then or- dered him out, and although he complied he threatened vengesnce. The follow- fng night, It Is eald, the police man sent & ‘*‘bam” to the saloon to raleo a disturbance. That indlvidoal osled for drinks for the entire party present and could not pay for them. The ssloon-keeper then proceeded to put him out, but just as he reached the door with the *bum” the pollceman appoared on the scene and placed him uader arrest. The cfficer was very much Intox'cated, but he started for headqaarters with his prisoner. On the way it developed that the men were members of the same secret organization, and the officer con- cluded to release his ‘‘brother.” The oon-keeper, however, was not eo kind, 8 he reported the affsir to the marshal and the officer was saspended. —— The Otty Poor, Fridays are busy days for Saperintend- ent of the Poor Pierse thls weather, Oa that day of the week ke distributes supplles to the poor and listens to those derirlog aid from the county.

D. Davis and J. W, Austin, I am sorry to say that Mr, Davis cannot find good enough men in the city of Omaha to do his work.

I bid my friends farewell, CuaARLRY BACHMAN, Inqulry at the Union Paclfic hedquar- tors developes that thero was such a per- son as Oharles Bachman in tho em. ploy of the company, and that he re- eigned his position (or was discharged) aboat two wecks ago, 1t was olalmed by his employers that he was detected In trylng to ‘‘foroe a balanoce,” and belog unable to offer any satisfactory explana- tlon, was ‘‘requested to reslgn .’ other hand, Mr, Bachman and his friends clalmed at the time that this was merely a pretense to force him out In order to make room for a favorite. A roporter was detailed to look up Mr. Bachman, in order to clesr up the mystery, 1f possible. He went down to the former resldence of the young man, on South Foartzenth streot, but was unablo to learn auny- thing about his whereabouts. Coroner Drexel was of tho opinion thattheletteris alla hoax, gotten up as a novel kind of practical j:ke. The writing is poor, un- doubtedly that of an untutored person. It does not correspond at all with that of Bachman, and If he did indite the letter he must have endeavored to disgulse his hand-writing. ALL A HOAX, Slince writing the above Mr. Bachman has material!zad, and denounces the let- tor a8 o forgery. Ho stated toa DEE re- porter last evening that he had had no in- tention of commlitting sulcide and could aot imaglne who wrote the lettor to Cor- ouver Drexel, de intended, be raid, to sift the matter to the bottom, and in case the party was found he would prosecato him, He admitted that he had been dle- charged by the Union Paclfic officlals, but seld that the statement that it wes on account of making a “‘forced balance” was entirely erroneous. The forced balance mentloned was ordered made by Mr. Watts, foremsn of the desk, and he only complied with orders in makirg It. He attributed his discharge to a desire to fill his place with favorites of the managers, It was his opinion that the letter was wrltten by some onoe who withed to in- jure Davls, e PERSONAL, The ‘“‘Rag Baby” company is at the Millard.
