FOURTH DAY OF THE FAIR, Fally Twenty-Five Thousand People See 5 the Bights. AWARDS MADE FOR FINE STOCK. Ulst of the Fortunates Who Carried Off Red and Btue Ribbons— The Exhibit of Hargreaves Bros.— Fair Notes, . [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] Twenty-five thousand people wus an honest estimate of the attendance at the state fair grounds yesterday tbat fur- nished a crowd sufficient to make a smile spread over the faces of the managers. ‘The attendunce yesterday was of sght- seers of the fair proper, and never be- fore during the week has as much atten- tion been given the buildings, the stock and the individual exhibits. ‘I'he excur- sion trains came loaded, and they were people who came to sce the fair more than the ruces. It was to exhibitors the busiest as well as the most satsfactory dny of the great fair. Though the crowd was not so large as the day before, they all scemed as anxious to take in the sights as did the people who came the first day. In Agricultural hall the awards are being made, and, as usual 1n such cases when the competition is large, many are disappointed. However, the judges are honest and are trying to do what is right in the mutter. Art hall continues to be the leading re- sort, for ladies especially, and Major Hastings feels quite proud of his class of sight-seers. One of the novel sights in this hall is a lady i one of the musical departments who plays the violn finely. Wlnle the is m-rlorm?;m it is almost im- ossible to move the crowd from her locality, The following awards were made in the Dairy department: Farm dairies. Granulated butter—M. W.

One of the great features at the fair and that add much to the fact that Ne- braska is abreast of all older states in the progress of permanent stock work is the coliection of imported and Nebraska bred Percherons exhibited by Mark M. Coad, of Krement. There is alwaysa long row of spectators before the stalls occupied by Mr. Coad's stock and hand- sower thoroughbreds cannot be found on the ground than those exhibited by him. ‘The fact that equally as fine_horse in uny state in the union is illustrated by the exhibit of Mr. Coad and the premiums this stock 18 taking. One of the great contests in the horse ring was for the best tive colts, the get of one stallion. In this contest Mr. Coud took first premium, showing five suckling colts, thorough- breds,, that were as handsome as could be desired. The value of this purely Nebraska contest nfvunst the world was illustrated in the fact that they were shown against five colts entered by Mr. Elwood, of DeKalb, with the ditfer- eace that Mr. Elwood’s colts were two- year-olds while Mr. Coad's were not over six months old on an average. After Mr. Coand had taken the first remium Mr. KElwood congratulated im on the stock and said he was entirely satistied with the award; that they were five as handsome colts &s he had ever seen. If this is not a feather for Nebraska and an illustration that the state can breed in its own borders handsome stock as the best of them, the judgment of the BEE goes for naught. These five colts were sired by Henri Le Blane, the stallion that heads” Mr. Coad’s heard of Percherons. Le Blanc was imported from France direct by Mr. Cond, and was a horse approved by the gov- ernment of France. Le Bianc's registered American number is 4543, and his registered number in France 1s 2433, Le Blanc's sire 18 the famous h stallion Rustique and his dam, Another premium taken by Mr. i was, first premium on three old mare Negra,one of hisimported mares from France and a beauty clean ot limb perfoct. In two-year-old stallions Bv. Coad fok second premium in t twenty other entri yearling stallions he also took remiuin in a contest with twelve entries. n horse colts, ercherons bred in Ne: braska, Mr. Coad took both first and sec- ond premiums, and 1n mare colts, P ch- Percheron stallion born and bred in Ne- braska, This gold medal goes home with Mr. Coad, hi:dyoung stallion De Lesseps the medal, and the award was considered by all as wormlliy be- heron and high grade horses from which his stock exhibited was selected. The fact that Nebraska has a breeding farm of this magnitude and one that can enter the state fair and compete with all the great breeders of the state with such a showing of premiums as they made this year, is a fact that above any other shows the progress the state is mukin, in mature work i1n the breeding line an Mr. Coad is entitled to_congratulations over the successful results ot purely Ne- braska bred thoroughbreds as fine as the country produces. EXHIBITS OF A SUCCESSFUL FIRM, of the handsome exhibits in Art One hall is the display made by the success- ful firm of Hargreaves Bros., who,in Lin- coln’s wholesale trade, stand second to none in volume of business and success- ful business results. The firm hos been built from the ground up in Nebraska and in the city of Lincoln, and they com- mand a trade that permeates to all sec- tions ot the state and crosses the lines 1to Kansas and Colorado territory. In all first class groceries the firm carry on a magnificent business and in all classes of stock thuir trade is increasing with the most satisfactory results, both to them- selves and their hundreds of patrons. Mr. A. E. Hargreaves, the senior of the tirm, commenced at the foot of the ladder in handling fruits in a smail way, and one of the prominent branches of their trade now is their handling of Californius fruits that have grown from & small begining to gigantic provortions, The shipping records will show that there is not a tirm 1n the west that handles more fruit than Hargreaves Bros., and theix patrons, who are scattered over a wide extent of terri- tory, will attest to the satistactory man- ner in which Hargreayes Bros. handle this branch of their business. In every de- partment the same care is used as in the nandling of their truits. This tirm owna and occuples oue of the handsomest buildings in the city. A four story brick, fifty feet frontage, that is packed from basement to attic with the immense stock of goods that they always carry. A large force of men are employed on the road and the annual output of the house can be llpJ)n‘cmlad by those who witness the loaded cars that arrive and depart daily from their business house. At the state fair this firm has illustrated its energy and enterpriso in an exhibit that receives marked attention. Nearly in the center of the hall their exhibit is located and it comprises everything in the line of fancy groceries that can be imagined, the long pyramids of canned goods being es- peciallv attractive, while a thousand and one little things in all variety decorate the entire display in the most pleasing mannoer, and the firm have in thetr dis- p! given aspecial atteution to the Seward Canning company, whose goods they handle and are pushing to the front in the markets of the west. It is noticable with Hargreaves Bros., that the great public apvreciate home products and the tirm caters to this trade by vlue- ing in the markets the choicest of Ne- braska canned goods for whioh the state is now famous with all wholesalers. ‘I'he display of the firm is 1n all departments bandsome and attractive and the doors of Hargreaves Bros., wholesale honse are wide open for dealers who visit the city to call and see them.

Jay-Eye-See is to trot again on Frida; elgccinlly to accommodate the thousands who were unable to see him on Wednes- day, and the society does not expect to make a cent out of this trot. Secretary Furnas continues to maintain his good nature and affable disposition. His popularity is only exceeded by his ability to run the biggest and best fair in the United States. T'he tishery exhibit lost ome of their most popular articles in their mermaid. The party owning it, being obliged to leave, insisted on taking it with hi much to the disappointment of’ Messrs.

Nothing will be taken from the grounds until Friday atver 4 o,clock p. m,, 8o that those who have not attended the fair will have just as good opportunities of seeing the last day as the first. It is expected Em( gtmsguilicem crowd will grect Jay- ye- ce t0-day. The battery trom Fort Lenvenworth have given some very fine exhibition drilis that the visitors to the fair haye greatly apprecinted. Not only are the crowds pleased with the battery, but the battery 18 pleased with the reception Lin- and they have publicly exvressed their thanks and made com- lnrisuns tn regard to their reception in fncoln and Omaha not fattering to the later place. ‘'he exlibit in crayon and oil work in Art hall are exceptionally good, and a great attraction over former years and admired by all.

The complaint made of an over- crowded reporter's stand at the great race Wednesday, should not be laid up against the management. The trouble wus that newspaper men who had badges gave them to outsiders and some news- paper men worked the clerk in charge of press badges on their complimentaries to the extent of halt a dozen or more. Wednesday's receipts alone met all ex- penses of the board, both for expense and premiums, It is safe to say that the state board will have a surplus of $25,000 in the treasury ready for a rainy day. Fish Commissioner May wears a nobby scarf pin that he has just received trom Tiffany’s. It is a Jeweled lish in design aud s more expen- sive bit of jewelry probably is not to be seen 1n the state, There was not n serious accident of any kind or character on the grounds Wednesday which, considering the crowds, was something remarkable. In the city also no accidents were reported. The second trot by Jay-Eye-See has been liberally addvertised for to-day and there will undoubtedly be a very Iurge attendance. Jay-Eye-See was in good condition yesterday after his great day’s work of the day before and will un- doubtedly make a fine appearance to- day. Ereu A. Wilson, traveling salesman for John Morris & Co., manufacturing stationary, Chicago, occupies a promi- nent place in Art hall with a fine hine of goods carried by his house which well merits careful inspection. This place has become headquarters for bankers and county officers. H. E.

The Englishnews- papers in Honolulu give none of these acts because the League, which has be- hind it the Honolulu rifles, has com- pletely bulldozed the press. Not even ordinary court proceedings are allowed to be published. Not even a single journal dared produce the comments of American newspapers on the recent up- nsing. “The truth,” the correspondent de- clares, “is, thata change has -im;;l*huun made from tne tax government of Kalau- kua to a military oligarchy, of which Colonel Ashford, leader of the ritles, is the head. Ashford's brother is attorney general, and, between the two, they run the present government. They are backed up by a council of thirteen,chosen by the league, who enforce their laws, ‘The better class of foreigners are becom- ing very restive under this military dic- tation, and on election dav, Sepiember 12, a split among the foreigners is surc to occur. The reform party has nomi- nated a good ticket for the legisluture and its success is assured,and among the natives there is much ugly feeling shown.

OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY: | society and was accompanied wiih ELECTRIC STREET MOTORS. A 8tylo of Travel That,is_Pushing Its Way In This Country. VARIOUS SYSTEMS NOW IN USE. —— An Electric Road in Alabama—Many Stmilar Roads in Different States =A Still Unexplained My ‘The Montgomery (Ala.) Registerof a recent date grows ecstatic over the final disappearance of the mule from that city as a motor for street car traction. The fitteen miles of street railway i Mont- gomery are now operated entirely by the electric motor, & force which the Adver- tiser declares to have great advantages over mule traction, it being nble to draw several cars to the mule’s one. At the time when the Advertiser article was written the overhead conducting wire used for the electric carrent had not yet fallen down and killed a horse driven by one of the ex-governors of Alabama. This was an event of later date. But had the accident occurred before the an- nouncement of the disappearance of the mule was made, it could hardly have dampened the enthusiasm of the write He would have maintained, very justly, that the horse might have been kicked by a mule, and so perished in any event. Fifteen or twenty horse power, no mat- ter what the form 1n which its energy is displaved, is a dangerous torce to meet in an irregzular contest. There is no doubt that the electric motor for street railways has passed be- vond the experimental stage. In a small way it has been in use in Enrope since 1881,a track one and one-half miles long, with two cars, having been a sort of plaything in Berlin from that date to the resent time. Another road onc mile in ength, with the same number of cars, was opened in Brighton, England, in 1883, and during the same year and the year following several short roads were constructed in different parts of Europe. Two of the German mines also, one since 1882 and the other since 1834, have been furmished with tracks a few hun- dred yards long, on which electric mo- tors are used. But these roads were all small ventures, and though the number of passengers carried was sometimes considerable, the experiments were hardly to be considered as final tests of a complicated engineering problem. The solution of this problem, like the solution of s0 many other problems that involve inventive skill, has been reserved for men working under the inspiration of American patent laws. The com- meraial utility of the electric motor on prolonged lines of streot ramlway has been very well demenstrated in this country during the past two years, and the work of constructing new rouds and changing horse roads to electric roads goes rapidly forward. Electricity as a motor for street rail- ways has now only one rival. ‘The horse has the nine points ot law 1n his favor, but possession ean hardly be nllowed to weigh against all his manifest disadvan- tuges. He has an expensiye stomach, requires a great deal of care, takes up too much room, and 12 not noticeably clean, His first cost, also, when his lia- ty to default on his life assurance scheme is taken into account, is nearly. as great as that of the electric motor. For a new and unequipped road, there- tore, he can affer no advantages economy. The electric motor has no rival in the horse, and it has no rival, ap- parently, in the various plans for com- pressed air traction which have been pro- posed. Its only rival is the cable system, a system which works well and has been proved to be economical, but which has not yet captured the field and seems to be handicapped in its efforts at getting possession of the streets The isability of the cable system is in its tirst cost. A road that calls for $86,000 per mile in construction must be sure of a very traflic bufore the money can be ventured. There are probably only a few of the leading cities in the union where a cable road could be operated with suflcient gross receipts to pay the interest on the inyestment and still leave a satisfactory mar- in of profit for the stock- holde Cable roads can be opevated profitably where a horse railroad would be profitable. But horse railroads are usually very unprofitable in third-class cities, and, ch(!lptupun a few streets,not very much of a bonanza in c of the second class, The field for an $80,000- per-mile railroad seems to be extremely limited when the ground is contested by a system that costs very little more thau a well-equipped horse road, and which will yet cost in operating expenses, if th testimony of experience can be trusted, not so very much more than a cable road. At all events the horse must zo, and there is good reason to think that the electric motur is making much more rapid progress in the United states on street railways than the cable system. In Richmond, Va., a well-known company 18 equipping twelve miles of road, on which forty cars are to be run. The same company 18 equipping roads also at St. Louis, Boston, Woonsocket, Baltimore, St. Joseph, and various other points. At Pittsburg three roads are under construc- tion. Binghamton 1s to have # rond four and a half miles long, operating eight motor cars. At San Diegzo a road is being constructed nine miles long, over which four forty-horse power motor cars are to furnish traction. But these are only a few of the more prominent enter- prises. Not less than fifty-five or sixty roads are under construction or pro- jected in the United States, snd the movement is continually extending. What will prove to be one of the heav- 1est industries in the country is appar- ently springing up as a consequence of the introduction of electricity as a rail- w»iy motor. N ‘There are three different systems of transmission in use, the first on overhead wires and the second over wires placed in conduits. while the third is operated by means of accumulators or storage bat- teries. As usual in this country in the introduetion of new inveutions, the sys- tem which is least expensive and compli- cated will be first in sequring possession of the field. This is known as the over- head system. A hard-drawn cepter wire of small size but great tensile strength is suspended about cighteen feet above the tracks, whure it1s supported either by a bracketed post set in the curb or by special supports on lateral wires which cross the street from side to side, In d tributing the current theirails are . ally gronnded, and form one side of the circuit, but in case the,connections Le- tween the rails is not good they are re-en- forced by a continuous conductor. A trolley which is connected with the engine. lu some systems the motor is viaced under the car in such manner that no space is lost and no detached motor needed; but 1n other devices the mojor is detached and resembles a steam locomo- tive in its methods of operation. ‘The conduit system, the system which it is proposed to apply on the Fulton street road 1n this eity, Is nardly to be called more complicated than the over- head system, but the first cost will be necessarily somewhat greater. It seems also that greater difliculty will be ex- perienced in meeting the obstructions caused by wintry weather, But this is an obstacle to be met and overcome by the resources of invention. - For large cities and in crowded. etreets it :uat be found more available than the overhead SEPTEMBER 10. 1857. fil;lhnh't ':)cl 1ts apparently greater li ped by eleotricians that the sys- tem of storage batteries or accumulators, carried on the oars and seourely packed away under the soats, may eventusily bo utilized to an extent that will render any outside mechanism unnecessary. seems to be the 1deal system, but it does ppear to be sufficiently per- 10 enable electricians to dispense with the use of conductors along the ress now being m: ing electricity is very remarkable. men still remain so ignorant of the sub- tile nature of this force that scientitic journals, devoted to its stud: discussing the problem of whether it is be considered matter, a force generated by certain conditions and relations of matter. The solution for the present seems to be beyond reach. “Electricity,’” says an expert, “'is simply an agent of transmission—a convenient, tractable, yet powerful means of carrying and distributing energy of motion one point to others. Klectricity is one form of cnergy, but it is a created form of energy: it may be considered as steam in another form, and when we recover it, it is simply mechanical work or energy nd no longer electricity.” This definition of a mysterious force seems to doeeven rather than dispel the wystery by which it has always been sur- rounded.

R boys who enjoyed the reunion hold in Omaha during tho rfll‘ ‘woek none have seen more hot fighting han the subject of the following eketch, Mr. C. C. Palmor. Mr. Palmer, who now residos at No. 8i8 Bouth Rightoenth street, enlistod at Watertown, N. Y., for two years. 'After serv- ing_that time he returned home, where he quietly remained for about three months. _In the meantime the battio of Gettysburg was fought. which fired Mr. Palmor with &0 much patriotisin that he awain entisted. this time for threo years. He then served until the army was flaally mustered out. He fought in the socond battle of Bull Run, Antietam and numerous othor fights jn which his reximent was engaged Ta the Bull Run fight Mr Paimer saw nis comrades on either alde and in front of him full, but himself escaped the buliets that were fiying Ao thickly around him. To & reporter Mr. Palmor remarked: “*1 was pretty lucky in otie wuy during uy soldioring, hint 18 in escaping gotting wounded; but in an other way 1 was not o fortus n lying out at night, with only an_old torn blanket for protection, And very often not that much, contracted nnmerous severe colds which grad- ually turned into a bad caso of eatarch. | suf- fored with this oatarrh for about twonty yonrs, it almost destroying iny hearing.

SN ING CATARRH, What It Means, How It Acts, and What It Is. You snceze wlhon you get up in the morning, you try to 8neeze your nose off every timo you are exposca to tho loast dralt of mir. You have a fulluess over ghe front of the forehead, and the nuse feels a8 If thero was & plug in each nostril which you eannot dislodge. You blow your nose until your ears erack, but it don't do ny g0od, and the only result is that you suc- ceed in uellmr upa very red nose, and you so irritute the lining membrane of that organ thit you are unable to breathe through it ut all, Thisis n correct and not_overdrawn picture of an acute uttack of oatarrh, or ‘'Sneezing Catarrh” as it s onlled. Now, what does this condition indicare? First, acold that causes mucus to bu poured out by the glands in the nose: then those diseased giands are uttucked by swarins of little germs the catarrh germ—that tioat in the airina locality whero tho disouse_is prevalent. Theso animaiculne, in their offorts to find lodgment, irritato the sensitive membrane lining the nose ana nature undertakes to rid herself of them by produciug a it of sneceing, hen the nose becomes filicd with thickened and digseased mucus the naturul channels for 1ho introduotion of air into the lungs i3 inter- fercd with, and the person 8o effcted must breathe through the mouth, and by such menns the throat bocomes parched and dry, anoring is produced, and then the catarrhial disense gains ready accoss to the throut and lungs.
