{* THE STATE FAIR MANACERS, | They Hold & Meeting and Arrange For the Ooming Exhibit, ABIG SUPREME COURT DOCKET. ‘Who is Responsible For Dilatory Litl- Ration?—The Bank of Callaway In. corporated—Other Items of Interest at the Capital [FROM TIE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] The managers of the Nebraska State fair held a business m ng at the Capi- tol hotel 'Tuesday evening. There were present Messrs. Melntyre, Grennell, Henry, Dinsmore, Barker, Furnas, Macfarland, Humphrey and Druse. The board decided that hereafter hogs shall be entered as one month old until of the age of two months, and so on. Heretofore a hog over six months old was classed 4s a yearling and had to compete with that class. This action was taken to afford & more equal distribution of the competition. O. M. Druse, the master of transporta- tion, reported that the B. & M. railroad company would transfer all freight com- ing in on other roads to and from the grounds, which would be done free of cost to the exhibitors, The superintendent of swine was au- thorized to erect show pens, amphithe- ater and judge’s stand. Mr. Dinsmore wus authorized to have 100 additional coops made for pouliry and the poultry house enlarged to twice its present size. Provision was made for the solling of stock upon the grounds, but ail must be thoroughbreds, in compliance with the existing rules of the bourd. I'he chairman of the board of man- agers was authorized to put down a water main from the main entrance gate to the tish house, to turnish the ftish with fresh water, something which has not been done heretofore, A contract was entered into with P. H. Cooper to furnish ice. Messrs. Dinsmore, Macfarland and Jensen were appointed delegates to at- tond the Jowa state fair at Des Moines, which is held the week preceding the Ne- braska fair. They are to make arrange- ments for the transportation of exhibits from that fair to the Nebraska fair. Messrs. Honry, Kent and Barstow were appointed delegutes to the Omaha fair for the same purpose. Messrs. Dunham and Grennell to the Bismarck Grove fair at Luwrence, Kan., for the same purpose. The board ordered that Chairman Mo- Intyre be authorized to constructa build- ing to nccommodate the express compa- nies upon the grounds, 2 ‘T'he bourd also arranged tolet business men send out complimentaries for the fair and collect from the parties sending them for all that were used. SUPREME COURT DOCKET. The supreme court docket for the ad- journed July term that reopens on the 20th of September, are out and may be obtained at the oflice of the court re- porter, The docket for this term is a voluminous one and presages a long ses- 8ion of sittings throngh the fall months, Of these cases appealed from the lower courts the second district lends with the most cases, 18 usual, and the ninth district comes 1n with the least, the appeals from that court numbering five, = The total number of cases in the twelve districts is 247, ana they are divided among the daf- ferent districts as follows: First district, 4; second district, 46; third district, 87; fourth district, 13; fifth district, 21, sixth district, 11; seventh district, 18; eighth district, 27; ninth district, 5; tenth dis- trict, 19; eleventh distriot, 11; twelfth district, 15, The court reporter calls the attention of attorneys and litigants to the new rules adopted by the courtand which appear printed in full in the docket.

The question of the delays in the prog- ress of justice through the courts has been a very general topicqof discussion In the press of the state Since the night that the mob expedited the case ot Shel- leuberger at the rope's end, in Nebraska Ci 'here has been a great deal of criticisin that has, in & secondary way, been laid at the door of the supreme court of the state, which would hardly seem to be justice to that body. Itisa fact that has been heretofore commented upon that of all the supreme courts in the L'nulll,r{ the Nebraska court has the best record in expediting business, and by those acquainted with its work the statement is° made that twice each year before the closing of the two yearly terms, that the docket is passed over twice and no delay made by the court itself in heariug questions beforeit. The Nebraska supreme court has always paid especial attention to advancing capital cuses that a final verdict miFm be reached as early ns possib| When de- lays have occurred they have been such As the law itself makes, or were owing to s failure on the urt of both the prosecution and de- ense to appear and present the case to the judges. The law that gives & con- victed criminal an extension of time be- yond the execution day through filing & cnso in appeal is & part of the constitu- tion and no ruling of the court and is a mandate to proceedings itself without iu- terpretation or ruling. From the fact that it is now and has been the subject of comment that the court clears its docket of all cases ready to be heard, it is the opinion of many that those criticisms on on the court itself for delays in justice are not well taken and that the Nebraska court i8 in no way dilatory. SCHOOL APIORTIONMENT. County Superindent McClusky of Lan- caster county, has made the apportion- ment of school moneys for the six months ensuing. The total reccived from the stato apportionment is $10,800.68. There has been received from fines and licenses the sum of $856.44, mal A total to be apportioned of $11,656.44.

In this system & stretch of piping is used whose diameter grad- ually narrows to a four or five-inch noz- zle at the working end of the giant, and a8 the water is brought down a mountain side or from some clevation the force ac- cumulates until there is an enormous pressure at the nozzle. The stream that issues from the giant cuts into banks ana tosses rocks asif they were so much paver. The washingsare carried into flumes, in which blocks are arranged so as to form riffles, and quicksilver 18 spread along the entire length of the flume, which may vary from 250 y to a nule, and the brecious metal 18 ‘gat ered in the shape of amalgam. In sluic- ing the pay dirt is shoveled from bed rock into the sluice and the water washes away the alluvia and allows the gold to drop behind the riflles that are placed about eighteen inches apart in the box. The sluice-boxes are 50 to 100 feet in length and are given a suflicient incline to carry the light material through their whole lengtn If the gold is fine ant flaky and the weight such that it is likely to be carried through the sluice with the washings, small holes are scooped in the bottom of the box and filled with quick- silver, which eatches the lighter particles of the precious metal. Sluicing and hy- draulicing are extensively practiced in Colorado, but the old style of rocker has almost yanished and itand the pan are now mere relics of the early days of gold hunting in this section. The evolution of the industry is in the reverse order of the mention here given. The pan was first; then came the rocker; after that the sluice box; and now we have the hydraulic giants and long stretches of flumes which eat a hole in the ground in a few seconds and make the heayiest kind of earnings ible. The historv of the business is ull of freshness and intercst. [ ran aoross a historical account of the mines and mining of the world the other day, and among other things learned that 200 years ago the apoliances for gold-wash- ing were in a sense far superior to the rude machinery of the "49ers in Califor- nia, or the '59ers here. Getting Out th Correspondence 1 have alr Beecher rid, - High Priced Trouscrs. Washington Star: Secretary Lamar is now wearing trousers of a rather pecul- 1ar color. One pair has a purplish tinge and the other is blue. The secretary re- gards them as great additions to his wardrobe and calls the attention of his friends to the excellence of the material and the fact that they are entirely made by hand. They are manufactured in Louisiana by people who raise their own cotton, color and weave it into cloth, just as they did many years ago. They never wear out, and while the color might not suit some, yet the fact that the cloth costs $7.50 per” yard ought to be suflicient to make it at once fashionable. ‘The secretary, without saying anything about the price is in the habit of telling his friends that he can order them a suit of this cloth, or a part of a suit. As a rule they say that they would be very glad_if he would take the trouble to do so. Commissioner Black was so enthus- instic over the stufl, as shownin the shapely pants worn by the secretary, that he at once said that he must jhave ‘n suit and while they were about it the might as well order two suits for his children. The secretary suggested that, as the cloth cost $7.50° per yara some cash would be a table; " otherwise there might be some delay while the secretary was accumulating the moncy needed to pay for three suits. The com- missioner thought that, 1n view of the price, the secretary need not send the order for the suits for the present. ~caincod g ate discases of cither sex, howe: induced, speedily and radically cured.

HuwmsoLpt, Nevada, July 23.—[Spe cia Correspondence of the Bee.]—St. Paul says: “Im my haste I said all m are liars.” In my last letter to the Bek some remarks were made in my haste of a rather disparaging character relative to the country between Denver and Pu- ebelo, t rsed the Denver & Rio Grande railway. That language 1 wish to retract; that particular region is a veritable garden of Eden compared with the country passed through yesterday morning in eastern Utah, where for hour after hour, only a desolate plain 1s seen, a8 barren or verdure as Farnam street in front of the Paxton hotel.

In testifying before Governor Pattison's commiitee at Salt Lake last Thursday, I notice that Bishop Sharp stated that it was the intention of the Utah Central company to extend that road from 'Frisco in the near future, with a view of reaching Los Angelos in a year or two. This would largely in- crease the traflic over the U. P. and would save about 300 miles of travel through a most unintercsting country. ‘Lhe passengers were discussing the war to-day as we journeyed through Ne- vada, and the fat real estate man from Los Angeles contributed s mite, thus: “‘Grrant was a lucky man, but the only battle he showed any ability in was one he fought as captain of his company— the battle of Fort Donelson, or was it Fort Henry " Afterwards he romarked that brick houses were not popular n San Fran- cisco, a8 the walls gathered “'so much dampness that the qccupants were likel, to die ot ammonia.”’ Then we decided, by a unanimous rising vote, to overlook his reflections upon General Grant's military skill.

SAN Josg, Cal., July 26.-—[Special Cor- respondence of the B A two-da; mvestigation of this town and vicinity convinces me that it is one of the most promising of the many attractive regions of this wonderful state, and that it is juston the verge of a boom which will add largely to 1ts population and im- portance. The town is located in the ta. mous Santa Clara valley, surrounded in every direction for miles with orchards loaded with apricots, plums, pesches, pears, apples, English walnuts, ete.,”in- terspersed with vineyards in the highest e of cultivation.

The state normal school and the University of the Pacitic afford abundant faci for higher education, while the publi hool svstem of the city will eompare favorably with that of any in the country.

A PAIR OF TOAD CLOWNS They Cast Off Their Outer Coverin and Don Each Utber's Skina ‘'No oue knows the funny things toals will do,” said the Hon. James A, Sweency, a Luzerne county naturalist, to a correspondent of the New York Times: “On a recent cloudy day, after a hard rain, there was a cool brecze blowing. 1 was walking in a frisud's garden, near Hazleton,when I heard a peculiar sound, Looking in the direction from which it came, I saw two tonds in an open spuce in the garden. Oane wa# quite large and the other was at least a third smallor. They were both standing on their hind feet, facing each other. The large toad had its fore feet over on each side of the smaller toad's shoulders; the small toad had bis left fore foot on the larger one's right leg. As they &tood in that way they uttered strange gutteral sounds, "as if they were di: ng some subject be- tween themselves, Suddenly the small toad thrust his right foot, or hand, you might call it, against the large one's stomach, and the next instant the latter threw the former to the ground and a lively wrestle between them began, “During the struggle on the ground the skins of both toads burst open on the back, and I supposed I was about to see the interesting process of toads taking off their old coats, rolling them up in httle bulls, and swallowing them, as natural ists say they do. 1 did witness the pro- cess of shedding the skins, but something much more singular thun the sw i incident then occurred.

The big toad followed the pur- lomer of his cast-off clothing with his eyes, and gave two or three appealing croaks, but made no effort to, recapture the stolen goods. When the smail_toad suw that he was not followed he deliber- ately set to work to don the skin he had taken. It took him some time to do it, but he finally accomplished his purpose and went masquerading around in the misfit garment exactly like a clown in & cireus wearing the big baggy costume 8ome of them appear in. *“The little tellow seemed to enjoy the novelty of the situation and hopped around the large toad in what must have been a most tantalizing manuer. The big tond was shivering like a person cllled through, and by and by picked up the skin of the small one and began to force it on his body. The process was n difli cult one, but after several minutes ot un- ceasing eflort he stood habilitated in the cast-off garments ot his diminutive com- panion, If the effect of the big skin on the Littlo toad had been comical, that of the little skin on the big toad was more 80. The slecves of the coat, so to speak, only came half way down the arm, and the legs of the trouserscovered the toad's legs as thougn they tad been knicker- bockers. The body of the garment was so tight that the toud ‘could not work either s legs or his arms, and he stood there the pictute of comical despuir, By and by he began to swell himselfup, and that apparently stretelied the skin, for he was able afterward * to move away slowly.” { 1f your kidneys are inactive you will feet and look wretched, even in the most ecrful socil and melancholy on the {ullll'»t oceasion, Dr. 4.

Philadeiphia Record: A fierce and bloody fight between alligators was the rare sport witnessed at Coatesville a few duys ago by one of the attendants in Dr. Houston's garden in that borough, Each of the combatants measured over five feet in lengti, and had been living for eight yi reably together 1n a great tunk which Dr. Houston had constructed for them near his house. They were natives of Flori and were brought from that country when small by Dr. Houston. For some weeks, however, the two great reptiles had been showing signs of discontent with each other, but no one anticipated the terrible and fatal tion of this curious ay the attention of th who wus at work near the tank, was at- traocted by a commotion in the water, and looking up he saw the two alligators were engaged in a desperate struggle, The man rushed to the spot but was powerless to stop the fight, which was raging so fiercely that the water w shed into foam ana the cen hou W plashed in ev The st of the comb: *king to la get the body of the smaller alligator In his wide open jaws, but the latter was al- ways too quick to be caught. and moved round and round, striking the big rep- tile with his tail, and sometimes getting his encmy’s legs in his jaws and biting them. Thetank was soon reddened with the blood that lowed from the wounds inflicted in this curious contest. The gardener attempted to separate the mad- dened contestants by beating them with a long pole, but they paid no attention to this atwempt at diversion and went on with their fight only more desperately. Lhey rolied over each other, sometimes in the water and at times on the bank in the mud qut always lashing with their tails. ‘The smaller and more agile of the two continueeto bite the legs and body of the big alli and the latter moved about slowly trying to make a successful grab at his opponent’s body. Their sleepy eyes had become bright and snap- py, and it was evident the fight was to be 10 the death. At last in an effort to snap at the swinging tail of the larger, the small alligator fell on his side and before he could get out of the way the big jaws of his enemy were clesed upon him with a snap, Then occurred the most curious part of the battle. Raising himself slightly upon his forefeet, the big alligator lifted the smaller one from the surface of the water and shook him as a dog would shake o rat—shook him until it seemed that his tail would be huoled off) and until his buck was broken and he lay dead and limp in those great jaws, Then the big animal drop the body and moved ofl to sun himself, —_— Fight Between Sea Lion and Shark. San Francisco Call: 'Yesterday, as a number of fishermen were engaged in netting for salmon and sea bass on the bay between Alcatrax-and Saucelito, their attention was direoted to a_terrible commotion under the surface, in close proximity to their nets. The occupants of one of the boatsimmediately pulled up alongside the naval combatants. It was found that the battle cemired between a twelve-foot man-eating dhark and one of the valiant sea lions af . the Clifl. The water around was stained with the sea lion's blood. The fishermen state that the lion would on every ounurlunil{ol‘ fored sink his teeth deep into the back of the shark; the latter would then execute a rotary movement which would release him from the lion’s hoid, The monarch of the CLiff, finally detecting that it was & useless attempt on his part to conquer the hyena of tho ocean, made a rather feeble effort to escape. The shark, true to his voracious nature, would not re- l'nlu;hh the attack, and, muaking & final dash at his adversary, the two monsters struggled unul they got entangled in the nets. It was with ‘much dil wull{ the fishermen landed their big game.

AUGUST 4. 1887, q LORD SALISBURY'S CARI';EI The Varied Accomplishments. of England’s Present Premior, THE MAN OF MIGHTY WILL, His Brother's Death Places Him at the Head of the Family—His Journalistic Career— His Hobbles, Correspondence Boston Advertiser: As the hand of iron in the velvet glove of a mediocre ministry, Lord Salisbury is as a fact the strongest man in England to- day, and observant readers will do well to study the man. The most noble the marquis of Salisbury—was christened Robert Arthur Talbot Gascuigne Cecil. Being a youngest son there was no hikeli- hood of his coming with the full-blown title and leadership, so, as Lord Robert Cecil, he turned his quite exceptional abilities to account by writing for thoe papers. His was one of the strongest pens in general journalism {for many years, and it has long been allowed in the profession that, had he stuck to it, he would have been & brillant premier in the republic of letters. Nothing came amiss to him. He was and is » master of style, bright, incisive, witty, stinging, al- ways having a thorough grip of his sub- ject, always contributing something new and substantial to the discussion, and a controversialist whom his bitt t oppo- nents delight to admire while wrestling with him. As Lord Robert Cecil he en- tered the house of commons in 1855, when he was in his twenty-third year. He soon became one of the smartest debaters, and his biting sarcasms were highly relished by all but his unlucky vietims. Of course | he was a bigoted tory, through and through. He was regarded as quite the worst enemy the people had to fear, and it used to be said that if ever a man of hus volitical stamp came power there would be a revolution in the land. ‘Through the death of his brother, Vis- count Cranborne in due course became Marquis of Salisbury, and here we may take a glance at the manner of man who got a peerage in his 38th year. The Ce- cils had always been the haughtiest of the haughty among aristocrats, Queen Bess had sojourned the grand old family mansion Hattield house, where the present premier passes all his spare days. Reared in the odor of the sourest patrician sanctity, no wonder the young champion tory grew up in mistaken dis- dam for Demos, and thiginnate contempt was not lessened by his success in intel- lectuul competition with the best brains in politics and literature. But the new marquis carried his practical common acnse into the business of fulfilling all the duties of his rank and position and perhaps few people outside the county of Hertford, where he lives, have any- thing like a fair notion of the marquis of Sulisbury's taste, dutics and social lifo, Certain responsibilities, which are by no means sinecures, remain with him in connection with his college days. Lord Salisbury is chancellor for the university of Oxtord and he takes uctive interest in all college movements. As a country entlean he is head of the county so- ciety and chairman of quarter sessions, which latter means thathe }vrlx:&illun over the home rule parliament of his country which levie for the maintenance of the public highways, education, the care of paupers and lunatics, and every- thing concerning county government. He has also, as chairman.to try prisoners for alleged offenses that rank higher than those tried at petty sessions and lower than those reserved for the assizes. Lord Salisbury has long been both a popular and just magistrate, and though his court Las ‘sentenced many prisoners to the maximum of seven years penal servitude, there has never been an outery or an ap- peal over his decisions. He has had both a technical and practical legal train- ing. fiurd Salisbury has never ceased to be a journalist. The Quurterly Roview arti- cles that have attracted the most atten- tion have mosily been his, though all his writings are anonymous. In striking contrast, as may be thought, to his ultra- toryism, which is popularly supposed to represent the opposite progress, Lord Salisbury is one of the very first men in England to welcom d adont the latest thing out in progressive science. The stately Elizabethan Hatfield house was, 1 think, the first pi mansion that adopted the Edison clectric light—not simply for the sake of novelty, for in this there 18 no more rigid conservative than 4 Lord Salisbury, but because he had sufli- considered in relation to the history of the house and its owner, one of the ola- est proofs that unlikeliest extremes do meet sometimes. One more hobby of his—that of high churchmanship, high, but not ritualistic in the ordinary sense, and, to show how again extremes may meot, Lord Sali bury’s grand old crony in this theological region has al s been Mr. Gladstone. They have visited each other in the country, fraternising as lay-archbishops and actual patrons of livings, while tear- ing each other’s hair out as politicians on the rampuge.
