For two days past Majors ‘Whipple and Baker have been rapidly pay- 1ng off tho fifty-eight companies of the com- mand, and this morning all had received their monthly compensation. Inspite of the usual concomitants of camp life there has been absolutely no disturbance, and empty guard houses and a quiet command are witnesses to discipline and self-control. The mancavres in the field of the past week have included practice marches, protection of couvoys, advances by brigades, as if in the face of au . enemy, and several division drills, witnessed in person by General Crook. Late last evening orders were issued by General Brooke directing the commund to make immediato preparations for a march into the fleld with seven days rations, n minimum of baggage and an abundance of fixed ammunition. On Monday or Tuesday twenty-five bundred men will break camp and begin a week's campaign in the surrounding country. There will be three brigades operating, with cavalry, in- fantry and urtillery engaged. Two hundred men only, including the bands, will be left 1o guard the camp, under charge of Captain Garrity, of the Seventeenth infantry. The week’s manceuvres in grand tactics in the ntry will complete the work in the encampuent. G al Crook will leave on Tuesday for the west on an extended hunting trip.

Colenel Hughes left for Omaha on this morning's train, Struck Ofl Furyont, Neb., Sept. 7.—[Special to Tne Ber.)—Information has just been received here by the officers of the Consolidated Oil and Pipe Line company that the well now being sunk by the company in the Rattle snake district of the eastern Wyoming oil flelds has struck oil. The ofticers and stock- holaers are elated over the information. Ke- ports are also to the effcct that the people of that section of the territory and down as far 88 Chadron are greatly excited over tne dis- covery. This is the first successful well which has been sunk east of the Lander dis- trict. Manager D, W. Moffatt, who 1s on the ground superintending the work of sinking the well, writes that after penctrating the oil rock but ten feet the oil came to the top of the wgll, 215 feet, and was heavily charged with gas. The fact that the company has a good pumping well s already as- sured, but 1t is likely to prove a gusher. Mr. Moffatt sa; 1 think we have ninety-five chances out of 100 for a 300-barrel gusher.’ The headquarters of the company are at Fre- mont, and the principal stockholders are E. H. Baroard, Congressman Dorsey, W. H. Munger, J. W. Love, L. D. Richards, F. B Harrison, of Fremont; F\ I. Foss, ex-Gover- nor Dawes and Tobias Castor, of Crete; W. J. Crane, of Arlington, and 'W. H.

The company bas 700 acres of the crop, all of which will show a magoificent yield. About 100 acves is now in a fiv condi- tion for manufacture, which is from a month 10 six wecks ahead of that in the principal hemp-growing districts of the country. The company 18 very bighly pleased with the ex- periments in the cultivation and manufac- ture of the product, which bogan last year. ‘The industry bids fair to become one of the leading ones of this section. It pays to the furmers who grow the plant an average of about §15 an acre, with less care and hard work than 18 required in raising corn. The tow can be turned out at a cost not to exceed 2 cents per pound, and can be sold at 4. In all probability the company will this year add a twine factory to its plant. The Agreement Not Yet igned.

KIERS AD TALKS. He Expresses His Pos tion Regsrding the Street Oar Fight, The board of public works was in session vesterday morning in relation to applica- tions by the Motor and Omaha Street Rail- way companies, for permits to lay tracks on Lowe avenue from Cuming to Hamilton, and thence to the military road. There wasa lively debate between the attorneys, in which Mr. W, [. Kierstead, a member of the board, was severely critic'sed by General Cowin, who practically asserted that Kierstead was acting in behalf of the Omaha Street Rail- way company. In regard to this Mr. Kier- stead says: *“The only fair way to treat the people of Orchard Hill and Walnut Hill is to give both companies an equal righton Lowe avenue between Cuming and Hamilton streets, which will give them a choice of routes into the city, either by way of Farnam or by the present route down Burt street. For in- stance, at the present time, in order to vet to the court house from Walnut Hill, one is compelled to go ns far eastas Fourteenth and come back to Eighteenth street. *'I am sure that if this proposition was left 10 The people in those additions, they would, nine out of every ten, be in favor of grant- ing this privilegé to both companies. Since my action in the board this afternoon the consolidated people have informed me that if this request is granted they will at once pro- ceed to construct an elettric road tarough to Hamilton by way of Farnam. I think if they are satisfled with 8o small a portion of the route they ask for, the motor people cer- tainly ought to be, as they get un equal privilege on those two blocks and an ex- clusive privilege on the otherjthree miles. “I have no property interest in thut part of the city and have no other feeling in this matter than to give the people the best pos- sible street car facilities. As far as my be- g partial to either company 1 concerned I certainly have no feeling whatever. I think Dr. Mercer is entitled to great credit for in augurating a system of fast street car serv- ice. We have always been friendly, and three years ugo he took an active part in my nomination and election to_the councii and materially assisted me, and I certainly would do nothing to work an njustice_to him. In making my motion yesterday I considered that I was presenting a proposition that would be entirely satisfactory to him.” DISTRICT COURT. s Filed For Record Yester- day— fhe County Court.

THE DIRECTORS ARE SATISFIED. A Scheme to Secure the Location of the State Fair in This Oity— Yesterday's Speed Events. Close of the Fair. The directors of the Omaha Fair and Ex- position association wera breathlng easier last night. Yesterday was the last day of this year's exhibition, and & hasty balaucing of theassociation’s cash account put 4 smail sum on the credit sido of the page, and the directors are greatly pleased thereat The attendance during the weelk was some- thing over fifty thousand people, and while the expenses were unusually heavy, the direotors hiope to get out even, at least. The attraction yesterday was, of course, the races, The exhibitors began early in the day to remove their displuys, and in the afternoon the racers and fakirs had undis- puted possession of the grounds. A very large number of the exhibits were removed to Lincoln, where they will be shown at the state fair, and most of the speed horses that have been here during .the weck will take part in the speed contests at Lincoln next week, “There were two accidents n connection with the breaking upof the fair. Early yes- torday morning & freight on the Belt line was derailed at Oak _Chatham and a_car containing O. O. Heffner's stable of Eng- lish shire horses, was thrown from the track, The horses were injured, but not seriously. Yestorday afternoon, while load- ing horses on a car billed for the' state fair, George Corber; a hostler from Nebraska City, was kickad by a stallion and sustained a fractured arm. He was removed to St Josepi’s hospital. "Chie directors of the association propose to 0 to work at onco and make @ strong_effort tw secure the location of the state fai Omaha for the next five yoars. As an initi- ative step it is proposed 1o arrange for an in- crease of the accommodations for the fair. The scheme is to purchase the site now oceu- pied by Fort Omana and devote it to fair purposes, The matter will be pushed at once. THE RA Result of Yesterday's Races at the Driving Park. The first event of the races yesterday afternoon was the trottng race for three- year-olds, The starters were: Robbie P, b, s.. B Pyle, Humboldt, Neo.; Lena Forest, b, m,, H. W. Gilman, Omaha; W. H.

The mare raced around the track until exhausted, The heat was won without any effort Lv Robbie P n 03, with Barstow a narmiess sccond and the others distanced. The judges. however, decided to let Lena continue)in the race on account of the accident. ‘The second heat was a repetition of the first, Robbie P winning at a fag, Barston second and Lena Forest third Time—2:50, There was but little variation in the third heut, which resulted as the two first, though thero wus an improvemebt in time. = Time— 2:4414, Robbie P, Barston Lena Forest.

After mo less than thirtecn scorings Starter Wheeler soundea the word, and off they went. with Black Diamond, Joe Davis and Nellie V. abreast, Spartan & length be- nind, and Illinois Egbert two lengths in the rear, Black Diamond forged to the front at the tirst quarter, with Nellie V. second, and the resu trailing. This order of things con- tinued until the three-quarter pole was reached, when old Joe Davis put on an extra load of ste: and quickly pulled up and passed Nellie V,; then he tackled the favor- ite, Black Diamond, and passed bhim, too, rushing home a winner by two lengths, Black Diawond second, Nellie V. third, Spar- tun fourth aud Illinois Bgbert last.

The town people were all tired after the fostivities of the wuok, and those from the country had all returned home, but Manager Jack Prince says that he expects a good attendance all next week. A new feature last night was a large oil ainting of Jack Prince, painted by Master F R, il "The tikenoss was ifelike and the picture received universal commenda- tion. Master Shill is not yot seventeen yoars old, but he vossessos wonderful talent and some day will be prominent among the ar- tists of the country. The band discouirsed choice selections dur- ing the evening, while the crowd listened to the music and examined the exhibits, Settling the Bills, The executive committee of the Mer- chants’ week association held a meeting at the board of trade building last night and paid a large number of bills. The Hotels. Strong argament in support of the gener- ally accepted statement that this has been a vrofitable week for Omaha is found in the patronage of the hotels. Since Wednesday morning they have all been crowded, some having as many as they could accommodate. So far as sleeping facilities were concerned, people were turned away, but they found entertainment elsewhere. Inquiries among the leading hotels show that their business realized anticipation. Consequently every landiord feels happy. The Millard probably cared for more guests than any other hotel. In addition to the regular rooms and bedding, Messrs, Markel & Swobe put up about two huudred cots in such space as could be utilized, and Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday served meals to an average of 500 persons at each meal Kittridge & Braiverd, at the Paxton, en- joyed nearly as large 'a patronege. Their house hus been full all week, from 300 to 450 people taking breakfast, dinver and supper there. The Murray’s rooming capacity is much smaller than either of these two hostleries, but the introduction of cots permitted Mr. Silloway to take in many extra comers and his tables supplied food to an average of £0) morning, noou and night. The Merchants accommodated 300p eople and Manager Baleh at the Barker put in_u supply of cots, which increased his accommodations to over 500. gne Windsor accommodated an equal num- or. i In addition to these houses, the Cozzens, Canfield, Derby, Globe, Planters and several other still smaller places fed and sheltered wmore than a thousand. The down town boarding houses also had their shure of the patronage, while tha various restaurants and lunch counters did a thriving business. The rain of Wednesday undoubtedly kept a great many people at homa who otherwise would have been here, but the hotels, board- ing houses and restaurants never took in as much money during any previous fair as they did this year. TO-DAY AT 14H It Will ba Celebrated by Two Grand Concerts, This afternoon at 2 o'clock and n the evening at 7 o'clock there will be a grand concert in the Colisaum, at which the great Musical Uunion band of thirty-five pieces will render the following choice programues : Afcernoon Frogramme.

A physician was summoned and his hurts attended to. Detectives Ormsby and Horrigan set about to work up the case and found Olsen’s assailant in the person of a young fellow about' nineteen years old pamed Henry BSmith, who was about to leave town for Chicago. Smith is very tough, and has been arrested several times on the charge of horse stealing and petit larceny.

The political campaign was turned loose yesterday by a meeting, at 8 o'clock, of the republican county central committee. The fair, exposition and Merchants’ week attrac- tions generally had their effect on everybody to u certain extent, though quite an enthusi- astic crowd of office-seekers and party work- ers gathered in the Millard rotunda and of- fice to discuss thesituation. Mike Lee, John Groves, Jim-Allen, Joe Southard and other candidates were on haod putting in their respective oars, but nothing developed to in- dicate the situation. All agreed, though, that from this time on the pot will be kept boiling in lively shape. Chairman Coutant called the meeting to order oefore a quorum had arrived, conse- quently business was delayed nearly half an uour, bft when they got to work the mem- bers very quickly disposed of what they had 10 do and adjourved.

' The vote was taken by ballot, and McGacken drew the prize, receiving fourteen votes to Bloomer's nine. Phis result was taken to be a slight crushing of Ervin's ambitions. After disposing of this matter, George M. n moved that tne secretary be in- structed to issue a call for the primaries to be held on the afternoon and evening of October 4, at which delegates to the county convention, October 5, will be selected; this gonvention to place in nominati candidat for county treasurer, sheriff, clerk, register of deeds, superintendent of public mstruc- tion, surveyor, judge of the county court and two commissioners; also delegates to the state convention, which meets at Hastings, October 8, It was carried without discus- sion,and unanimous'y,:s was also the follow- ing: Resolved, That the representatives of wards and precincts in the county covention be as follow: Eleven delezates from each ward in the v} eleven from South Omaha and five from of thé county presincts.

Wiggins offered a resolution which caused some disturbance, proposing to dorse Charles I, Bewdorff for superint hitect of the new postofiice and gov- ernment building. O'Keeffe declared that it was not the prover place to raise such a ques- tion, and the commitiee sat down on Mr. Wiggins with a dull thud. Somebody then moved an adjournment, and the gatnering dispersed. A few of the candidates would rather have had & later couvention and shorter campaign for the couuty nominuations, but the com- mittee seemed to thiuk that it was useless to incur a double expense. Up to the present time William Coburn, Mike Lee and M. O, Maul appear to be us- pirants for sheriff among the republicans. Some change may be made in- this, however, as tho campaign progresses. It has been ispered urouud that Johu Drexel, Maul's democratic partner, has his eye on the samo n them they agree that hesiould make the race, Maul will probubiy switch and run for ¢ The contest for Henry Bolln’s scat as keeper of the wmoney bags lies between John Groves, deputy treasurer, and George Heimrod.

Bruner, 80 far as hear i from, for superintendent of schools, and Herb Leavett says that Dick Berlin is the only candidate for register of deeds, But Herb evidently has fallen be hind, or don’t propose to recognize J.

The county commissioners met yesterday afternoon with all the members present ex- cept Andsrson. During the reading of the minutes O'Keeffo made several changes, one being to increase the amount of Auditor Evans’' sal- ary from §125 to §150 per mooth. It was in- tended to change the wmount on the vouch- ors at the last meeting but the matter was overlooked., ‘When that portion of the minutes was reached referring to Sheriff Coborn’s bill for boarding aud committing city prisoners and for the transportation of the insane, O'Keefe moved to disallow both items, This was 10 accordance with a suggestion from the sherriff to give him an opportunity to bring the matter before the courts, At the last meeting of the board the question bad been referred to the county attorney for an opinion, His reply was received, stating that the item concerning city prisoners snould be disallowed, O'Keeffe moved that the balance of the amount due should be placed to the credit of the sheriff, but Co- burn protested and requested that a warrant be drawn for the amount, which was agreed to, The clam of C. W. Finn, of $64, for work on roads was allowed. A forcible communication was received from the C. K. Muyne, Real Estate sud “Trust company, charging Constable Willlam H. Short with drunkenness aod attempting, in an losulting maooer, to serve an at ment on the goods of the company to satisfy judgment aganst au individual. The com- munication also stated that the bond of the constable was a straw bond, and they could get no redress by a suit.

The fo lnwlnP bills of tho sheriff for August were referred to the committee on fluance: Boarding prisoners, $315; commit- ting prisonors, §5350; bourding insane, $42.90; committing insane, $1. Permission was granted the Water Works company to luy its pipes and mains through certain stroots in Dundee Place. A resolution was introduced by Mr. O'Keeffo and adopted, providing that no supervisor shill work on roads or bridges with more than one team, except on account of road tax, ‘after the 15th of Septomber without an order from the board.
