THE DAILY BEE-FRIDAY, e e e el - e ¢ 5 LINGOLN. The Pourth Successfal Day of Nebras- ke's Big State Fair, An Extensive and Remarkable Display of Cattle. mmense Attendance as Shown by Rallroaa Ticker Sal News of a Day, AT THE OAPITAL, THE STATE FAIR. Thursday, the fourth day of the state €alr, was ushered In by clondy weather and a alight raln, hardly sufficlent, how- ever; to lay the dust. By 9 o'clock the sun came out and by noon the heat was rather more than comfortable. The grounds commenced to fill “early In the day. snd bands of music in the stands played, the people walked about and everyone seemed happy. The principal place of attraction, partloularly to far- mers, was the oattle s and the ex- hibits certainly were a credlt to any state In the union, let alone Nebraska, Holstelns, Durhams, Devonshires and Jerseys were all well represented, and any comparison as to thelr respective excellence would ba unjust. Smooth coats carefully currled, tat backs and sldes, hinely polished horns wera prominent featares in all theatalls, even among those cattle which were de- nominated fat stock, In the show ring during the moraing stalllons acd heavy draft horees wera exhibited, classed and awarded their ribbons, During tho early afternoon the cattle were thown, and as they lumbered olumsily around the ring mapy exclamations of amuse- ment were expressed that such fat animals could walk st all. They did, how- over, and before they were led away to thelr quarters upon the horns of many of them fluttered bright blue, and red rib. bons emblematic ¢f thelr victory over less pure blooded snimals, During the day the various halls, bwldings, amuse- ment booths, and refreshment stands were filled with visitors, sll delighted with everything they eaw. Orange Judd, the well known stock journalist, and authorlty on all matters appertalning to farm management, addressed a large sudience composed of farmers apxious to get what points they could to better, 1if porsible, the conduct of thnele farms and the i breeding of stock, The spesker talked generally of the re- cessity of care In sll things, and endeav- ored to show that by frugallty and ence, any man owning 160 acres of d could becomea king over his own domin'on. The state troops were on the parade grounds agaln yosterdsy and went tbrougha number of well executed evolutions. Art hall and its immediate vicinity wasmuch frequented, and the mary fine exhiblts drew forth extrava- gant expresslons of approval, Among many others there was none more novel than that of the MIDLAND ELECTRIC COMPANY of Omaha, In thenorthwest corner of the butlding just at the entrance the eyes of visltors were struck with carfous looking white knobs somothing ke the haudles to au old-fashloned bureau. They found letiers which spelled out gave the name of the company itself. The knobs were nothing more than those used to carry the wires of electzic apparaius of any kind and wera but a small portion of the exhibit. Hotel, house and burglar alarm enunclators, hotel call and fire alarm .cases, made up in the most beautifal fash— fon, were placed in & manner to disgliy their use. Models of doors and windowa with the burglar alarm attachment ara used to show the working of the device. As the window was ralsed or the door opened a bell commenced ringing sharp- ly and continuous enough to frighten almost any bad character out of his wits. The exhibit Included & number «f other apparatus used for experiments, tele- geaph communication snd other things. The Mldland’ company took the first prize at Omaha for this kind of manufac- tare, and it will probably do o here. The company has already established a large business, and a number of its hotel call-boards are already used in Lincoln and other towns in the state. Just northoast of the srt hall and in & tasty looking private exhibitton ballding MR, MENRY FUHRMAN, of Fremont, Neb., has an exhiblt, If it may o be called, of the manner in which he manufactures overalls and like gar- meuts, Mr. Fuhrman s ove of the sub- stantil mon of Fremont, and, for that matler, the state, For years he has carrled on a wholesale and retall dry goods house well known throughout the castern and western portiens of Nebrasks, His energy ond enterprise have been the meszns which have mads him a rich man, Something like a year ago Mr, Fuhrmst decided to start un overall factory in con- nection with bls wholessle basiness, and he put in the necessary machinery fo ao complish this end. From the star:the venture was a success, and at present the capaclty of the factory Is taxed to fts utmost to supply a demand which reaches out over the wost, Besides overalls Mr, Fuhrman also makes jsan pants, shirts, fall duck suits and several other artloles of apparel which ar y farmers, miners, and stock- men. The exhibit at the falr grounds, while no evidence of t the factory at Fremont is, affords Instruction and satls- faction to those who are interested In the growth and improvement of our wonder- ful young state, Mr. F. W. Hipke, foreman of the factory, has charge of the working people here, This gentlemsn has an extensive experience In eastern cltier, and beeldes this Le fs able genilemsn, with whom it 1s & p! uretom:et, Visltors at the fair should not fail to call st the bullding and look it over. Anyone who has ever met Mr. Fobrman will bear out the Ber in the ssertion that he lsa man who under takes a thlug only to make It & sucocess, and for that reascn thls ovs factory will become onecf the leading maunufac- torles of the state.

In the sacond chapter of “Tho Rise of Sllas Lapham,” as published in the Cein- tury for November, 1884, occurred the following: There was something that Mrs, Lapham espeeially submitted to her husband when they got home; the asked him if it were true, and if it mado any differencs, ‘It makes a differ- enca in the price of property,” replied ths col- onel prompily. “Bat as long as we don’t want to sell, 1t don’s matter.,’ “Why, Silas Lapham, eaid his wife, ‘‘do you mean to tell me that this house is worth Toss than we gave for it “It’s worth a good deal less, You ace they have got in—and pretty thick, too—it’s no use denyirg it. Aud when they get in they send down the price of proporty. Of course, there sin’t any sense in it. I think itis all dumn foolishnees. It'a cruel, and fulis cught to be ashamed, But there it is You folks tell that the Savior himsclf was one, and the twelve apostles, and all the prophets, I don’t know but Adsm was—gucss be was—and it don’t make a bit of difference. They send down the price of real ostate, Prices begin to shade when the first oue gets in.” Mr. Lapham thought the facts over a few moments. **Well, what do we care, so long as we're comfortable in our home? And they'ro just an nicoand s good neighbors as canbe. ... “A Mr, Liliengarten has bought the Gordon houss across the equare,” she said, thonghtfully, *“Well, I'm agreeablo, the money to pay for it.” *'Oh, yes, they've all got moncy,” sighed Mrs, Lapham, I suppose he's got presented a very common every-dey as- pect. He had evldently taken consider: able pains with his follet, and was reluc- tant to have the harmony of his appear- ance destroyed by the officers. They considered, however that pants and an underehirt was good enough for a high- way robber, and the more dellcate ap- parel were removed and plsced In a hesp on the floor, none of the men at the jsll seeming to know the proper way in which to haug it up. Somebody will probably clatm the clothing this morning. ———— AN INHUMAN FATHER.

It is not alone upon the ignorant and uncultured of the Jews that you reflect, for neither *‘the Saviour him- self,” nor the twelve apostles, nor the proph- ets, nor even Adam, were, 8o far as the rec- ords show, of that class which depreciated tho valus of property when they *‘got in,"* The introduction of the linesin question cannot even bo excused on the ground that it serves a_literary_purpose, for no such end is accomplished, "The sentiment is violently iragged in for no other ascertalnable reason than to psuder to a prejudics against which all educated and colored Jews must battle, The literary leaders of a country have so great a power in fomanting or in reprossing popular prejudize that I make bold to hope that in the pormanent form in which “Silas Lapham” will no doubt soon appear, these objectiona- ble lines will be omitted, T have the honor to be, sir, Very respectfully yours, To W, D. Howells, Etq. OLD ORCHARD, ME , July 17, 1835, My Doar Sir:—I thank you for your frank and manly letter, 1 supposed that I wos wiiting in rzproba- tion of the prejudics of which you justiy com- plain, but my 1rony seema to havo fallen ehort of the mark—zo0 far ehort thut you are not the first Hebraw to accure me of ““panderizg” to the stupid and crusl feelivg against your race ond rehigion, I will not ask yon to read agaip, iu the light of this statement, the pas- euge of my story which you refer to, for I heve alrsady struck it out of my book and it will not resppear, In thet passage I merely recogniza, to rebuke it, the existence of a feel- ing which civilized men should be ashamed of, But perhaps it is better not to recognizo all the faots. Perhaps, also, you ows me sn apology for making a0 upjust accusation, Ileave that to you, Very truly yours, / W. D. HowerLs, TO—=~—, 1L, Naw Yok, 19 July, 1885, My Dear Sir: - Certainly, in view of your kind noto of 19tn nst., I do owe you an apol- cgy, Still, in justification of my own stupid- ity In wissiog the point of your irony, I may eny that Silas's admission that ‘‘they” do de- preciate the price of property when they get in—a fact ooncerniog the financial accuracy of which 1 have some doubts—seemed to me rather as an endorsement than a rebuke of what yon truly call the “etupid and cruel fesl- ing” agaiust us, A am glad indeed to have your assurance that the passage will not appear in the book; still more pleared to know that theauthor whom I have so much adwired is uot to be counted smong the uumbsr—uafortunately t00 large—of Jew baters in Awmerica, Very truly yours, To Me, W, D Hwelols, OléOrchard, M. e —— PERBSO AL, Chadles P Fagg, of Schuyler, is st the Mil- ard.

Oa thissix young men from Oregon were killod by the Indians in Msy 1849, Farther up on the sonth fork, near Kelsey's dlg- ginge, one of Kelsey's brothers was in like manser killed the same year. By reascn of theso and other murders com- mitted by the Indlans, a party went out from Sutter’s mill, and having corraled & lot of the savages, brought them in to the mill, where, after a sorf of trial,soms dozan or more were shot, Near hre, a lit:1s further soath, is the scene of the famous old mill, whera gold was first dis- covered In Californls, There is aleo the town of Greenwood, in Greenwood's valley, both named after old Jim Green- wood, about tho best specimen of & mountaloeer and trapper that ever wore a buckskin hunting shirt and moccasins. Tn the spring of 1849 Greenwood wes lviog with his famlly, which consisted maioly of numerous horses, a retinue of dogs and s:veral boys at the old mll, where he was a notes character both becauss of his striking personal appearanca and the large quan- tities of whisky he was capable ot coa- suming without' any visible effect. He had lefi his home in Misscurl when a youth and bad epent his whole after life in the service of the various far compa- nies, huntlog and teapping {n the Rocky mountains, having aleo served as a guard to soms of the expeditions sent out by the general gouernment to oxplore the regions of the groet northwe Though over 70 yests of age when 1 at the mill, ho got about with the egility of youth, and could still handle h's rifls with unerring precision, His boys by his Incian wife, a Crow wcman, were haudsome,” bright little fellows, The town of Greenwocd hae shered tho fale c>mmon to 8o many of the early settle- mente {n tho miafog reglone.” A number of the geaves of men who dled In 49 in tha’ reglon were viited by the writer. *A little below Tcdd’s val ley,” ho wrltes, *s Jack Greary's grave. Poor fellow, ha came of & rich famlily somowhere in the east, was highly eda- csted, f gentlemanly address and good appearance; but he died poor und aline, starved to death in bis cabin hard by the mlddle fork, whero we found his r:maios snd interred them as well as we could, puttingup a rode cross on the spot. But nelther ths grave nor tha cabin is there avy more, They occupled fatal ground—grouad that “contalolug gold, has tincs been wasbed cff, end with it all thera was left to mark the last resting place and perpetuate the memory of the unfortunate yoong man, Thet his friends ever learned anythlog of his fate is not at all probable, ss all we ocould glean about bim or toem was the abtove scanty Informa- tlon, gsthered from a druuken compan- fon that we sfterward come aocross, and who had deserted him In his extremity. Further up the middle fork, but on the ssme slde, under a towerlog plee tree | tohing of pri that overlooks the cauyon, 1s the giBve win of Rosewell Partrldge, who dled nesr that spot in the fall of ‘40, under circam- stances of the most sad and pathetlo klud, But why recall others of those woursful remiciscences, to contloue which to the ead would be but to write another Book of Lamentstions, so many are they and so ead their recital, Never o tlme will they all be chronicled— never will the world know how many perished, one way and another, durlng thona picneer tlmes, nor ever will the One of the mcst miles in width, Ths company's enclosuces embrace'an area of eleven miles north and south by four miles enst at @ west; through the center of this flows the Bear river, When the present proprietors bought tho land eeven yoars ago, it was the next thing to a_desert, and a portion of it was covered with sage brush, The first thing they did was to briog an inigativg ditch into the bench lands and transform the sago brash distriot into tilled land, which now produces thoussnds of tons of timothy and alfalfa, besidesterops of emall grain, The next move after the bench lands were provided for was to build a dam so as_to raieo the water in Boar river to & point high enough to flood the bottom lands. - This was accomplished only after the outlay of thous- ands of dollars, but the result mora than paid for the outlay. Taken altogether it is one of bost equipped ranches in the country, and the company in prepared to turn ¢ ff some fize beef cattle, The company is rapidly introducing thoroughbrad stock; they have a thousand cows and heifers that are three-fonrths short- horn, anJ the best thoroughbred mules. As a rule it is not considered advisabla to put thoroughbred stock on the range, but in this case 1t 18 different, as the stock.will hava tho best of pasture during the summer and an abundance of good hay in the wintor, —— A Small Fire, Fire was discovered about 11:30 laet ovening in a house at tho corner of Sixth and Paclfic atreo’s, owned by John Nor- men, a Swede Tho locsmotlve whistlos in the Union Paclfic yards sounded the alorm, and the fire dopsr'ment was quickly on hand snd suppressed tho flamea.
