» THE OMAHA DAILY THE LAST DAY OF THE FAIR. . Success Attended to the OClosing Hour. THE GRAND PREMIUM PARADE. One of the Finest Displays of Animals Kver Made in the West—The G t florse Show ~Notes and Comment, LixoO1N BURRAU OF THR OMARA Han, 1020 P Struer, LiNcoun, Sept. 18, The grounds to-day, compared with yester- day, looked barren. Still, the crowd was quite lurge and the show as good in every particular as on the previous days. Proba- bly twenty thousand people attended the closing day of the great fair. The estimate of good judges, however, put it 5000 less, Visitors had a much better opportunity to 86 the sights than during the more crowded days. Tireless exhibitors stood at their posts and evinced the usual interest in showing their attractions. They were kept in proper trim 1n u remarkablo aogree. The day, how- ever, was tho hottest of the weelk, and had it not beon for a refreshing breeze that sprung up just before noon, the heat would have been almost insufferable. The Grand Premium Parade. At1lo'clock this morning the grand pa- rade of promium animals took place in front of the amphitheater, tho headquarters and Tur Brg office, from which the announco- ments were mado. Prominent fair men, who have soon every stato fair wost of the Mississippi for years, say that no such a dis- play of premium animals have ever been made in the west before. The parade was headed by the Hon. Aus- tin Humphrey, of Lincoln, general superin- tendent, . followed by the state reform school band of Kearney, with Prof. Malla- lien in charge.

The parade of Thursday night was bigger and better 1n every respact than any one had anticipated. The “*Oh, my!” of the rural visitors didn’t even halt tell the tale. Captain Yocum, mayor of Hustings, de- clared that nothing like it bad been seen west of St. Louis. Thejudgmentof the mul- titude is that he was right. Grand Marshal Beamis, of the traveling men, declared after t he parade that it was the happiest moment of his life. He was proud of the boys, His 260 pounds were cov- ered with peespiration, and he bhadn't a dry thread on bim, but he was just as happy 88 he could be, as was also Mark H. Tilton, of the Wisconsin Furniture company. Over six hundred of the boys who make Nebraska territory were in line Thursday Bight bearing torchos. The first turnout in the parade was that-of the Union Pacific, which consisted of alife s1zed locomotive eugiue, tendor und dining car. The fire and smoke which came from the smoke stack, the whistle and the clang- ing of the bell, wore realistic enough to tuke in even those' who keep up with the proces- sion. Charles J. Daubach and Al Hargreaves, who “bore the brunt of tue battle” in the financial work for the big parade, are just as happy as a big sun flower. hief Looloo and his tribe of Indians con- stituted a lively feature in the parade There were about sixty of them with their novel modes of conveyance, their fanciful head dresscs and their wild and wierd war cries. To many who uad never seen the noble red man, this was surely the most interesting, The party of Massachusetts and Connecticut excursionists who had stopped over § wero charmed with this feature, as well as the ‘whole parade. The Horse Show. During the progress of the fair Tue Ben has attempted to keep its readers posted on the progress of eveuts. But now the fair is over, and in viow of the fact that this horse show wae the largest, the biggest and the best ever mado in the west, it deoms it proper to print the List of awards as made by the expert judges: “The Discretionary Class—August Rogy, Seward, Arabian stallion, first premium;J.G: Dutay, Lincoln, suckling coit, first; & M.

Drake, of the Merchants National bank, Omaha, was on the grounds to-day. H. G. Burt, general manager of the Elk. horn system of roads in Nebraska, and J. R. Buchanan, the general passenger agent, took in the closing day of the fair. E. D. Marnoll, of the Nebraska City News, complimented Ti: BE: headquatters With a call this afternoon. The gate receipts of yesterday show the attendance to have been 41,041 It is suid, however, that the ““dead heads” would swell the actual attendance to 43,000, In the Procession. There were many uice displays in Thurs- day might's paraae, but for novelty and at- tractivepess, there was nothing that ex- celled that of the well known J.I. Case ‘Threshing Machine company. In the parade wasa number of machines pulled by a trac- tion engine. Each one was neatly orna- mented with the national colors, and in the cabof the engime, which is perfection in every way, like on & locomotive, was Mr, Gus States, the efficient general agent of the J. L. Case company’s interests in Nebraska. At intervals along the line Mr. States pulled the throttle, blowing o shrill whistle along the lie of march, to herald the coming of the greatest machiues, of their kind, in the country. This part of the procession was the recipient of numerous cheers, which were duly acknowledged by the gentlemen in cbarge lifting their hats. The engine was in charge of H. A. Crawford and G. E. Hall, On oune of the muachines was a rather comical transparency, which bore the picture of an eagle, holding in its bill the hal- starved chicken which a rival .establishment has for its trade mark. The eagle haa the appearance of being a flue, large bird, and the general inference one would take from seeing the picture was that the great bird was “mon- arch of all he surveyed,” and awaiting new victories. The fact is, the J. L. Case thresn- ers aro 8o well known that every one who seen the pictura knew full well the meaning. ‘This extensive manufacturing company have their Nebraska headquarters 1n Lin- coln, where they also have a large and cor modious warchouse, from which they ship to all points in this section on short notice any of their goods or the repairs., It might be well to say & word for these celebrated threshers were they not already so well known, but let it suffice to say that in the showing made at the present fair the Case threshers once more come out shead with flying colors, aud as usual the industrious farmer felt well repaid for tho trouble of coming to the fair by seeing the worsings of these favorite farm necessities and the new improyements recently mude. Mr. States was on hand to enlighten the visitors with such information as was most interesting and uppreciated, State House Jottings. ‘The board of bank examiners were all at their posts to-day. ‘T'he state house was thronged with visitors from morning until night. ‘Phe supreme court meets in regular ses- sion to hear and decide upon cases, Tucsday, September 17. Governor Thayer will return home some- time auring the coming week. Ho will be uccowpaniod by his wife. who has wboul re- covered her usual health. Attorney General Leese and Audiwr 3on- ton will leave for the east in a_fow days to attend the meouing of the United States railway commissioners, They go as dele- gates from the state board of transportation, Aruicles of Incorporation. J. 7. Hoile, A. H. Cooley, Norman A. Kubn and C. D, Woodworth, of Omaha, set out that they have associated themselves to- gother for - manufacturing purposes, the 8uops to be located at Dawson, Ia. They as- sert the power to buy real estate, orect buildings aud purchase machinery for oil aud natural gas. ~Articlos were filed to-day and the rights of eminent domain secured, Capital stock, $30,000. The Omaha, Hutchison & Gulf railway company also filed articles of incorporation, Priocipal place of business, Omaba. Capi- tal stock, $18,000,000. The company organ- izen wud (ncorporates for the purpose of build- ing, oger-unw and maintaining & railroaa from Omaba through Douglas, Sarpy, Saun- dors, Lancaster, Otoe, Johnson and Joffor- son counties, thence to Brazoria, Tex. In- corporators, . C. Cowin, W. B. Hutohison, G. A. Walkof, W. D, McHugh and B. Sillo- way. THE SANDWICH GOODS, the Sandwich Manufacturing Company, of Sandwich, Hilinois. Probably the most complete exhibit made by any implement compauy was the Sand- wich Manufacturing company, of Sandwioh, Til,, by their genoral ugent, W. M. Jones, of Fremont, Neb, It includod everything in the implement line, but especially of power corn shellers and grinders. They take spe- cinl pride in recommending their Samson horse powers, all kinds of small powers, jacks and wood saws, combined powers and grinders, O. K., X X and Independent grinders, farm and home carts, eto., oto. Their force-feced shellers are made 1in all sizos and to moet all situations. The forms and sizos pest known aro Junior two-hole, down or mounted, 100 bushels por hour; four- nhole, down or mounted, 200 busheis per hour; six-hole, down or mounted, 250 to 300 bushels ver ' hour; oight-hols, down or mounted, 850 to 400 bushels per hour. Tho Rustler is the only self-feed available at small cost for business in a small way. The Samson powers aro in two, four, eight and ton horso sizes, and aro the best' in_the world. For thirty years this firm has lod all others in this line,” Write them for cata- logues. SAUNDERS COUNIY EXHIBIT. The Most Artractive Exhibit on the Grounds. Not a visitor at the state fair, unless he was especially interested, but what voted the exhibit made by Saunders county the most attractive on the grounds, Rare taste, combined with practical ingenuity, helped out with skillful fingers, produced some noveities which drew and held the crowd, and during the whole week it was dimicuit to get any ways neur their exhibit. The ex- hibit was in charge of Mr, Samuel Woollay, a practical farwmer, who lives near Weston, and everything raised in Nebraska in the agricuitural or horticultural line were thore in great profusion and of superior quality. Corn, oats, wheat, vegetabl tobacco, sugar cane, potatoes, ete., etc., with buck: eyes, butternuts, cranberries, und many other novelties, The “Korn King” the work of Mrs. J. S, Kuyhers, of Wahoo, as- sisted by -Mrs. Jacob Stowets and Mrs. Gertié Honderson, and the ‘“‘Grass Widow,” made by Mrs. Perry Hayden and Mrs. H. C. Headley, of Weston; the big horseshoe of grains, ‘the big rooster and the corn baby were the chief attractions on the grounds. THE LITTLE BROWN JUG. By Eaton Brothers, of the Lincoln Pottery Works, Twenty vears ago there was no more popu- lar song than the ‘Little Brown Jug.” Ivery body sung 1t, and they all sung it well, because it was easy to sing. For some time, like “The Beautiful Snow,” its author- ship 'was wrapped in the biackest of mystery. But this donbt remains no longer; the re; authors are the Eaton Brothers, of " the Lin- n Pottery works, and it is said, though he donies it, that the viece was set to _music by Webster Eaton himself. But this is abso- lutely true: No _exhibit on the state fair grounds attracted more attention than the one just north of Art hall, where the little brown jug was made; no_souvenir was more generally. worn, or will be more highly prized by the visitors, than this little brown jug, and no_better pottery goods are to be found on the market that the crockery, stone ware, flower pots, etc., manufactured by the Lincoln Pottery works. By Millar's Clydes ana Percherons. E. C. Millar, of Fullerton, Nance county, one of the best known and most prominent draft horse importers 1n_the west, has good reason to rejoice and be giad. He exhibited four horses at the state exposition and captured the first premium for 3-year-old Clyde stal- lions, second for 2-year-old Clyde stallions, first for Clyde mares of any age, sweepstakes for Clydo stallions, sweebstakes for Clyde mares and sweepstakes for Percheron stal- lions. The awards attest Mr. Millar’s judg- ment. Although a young man, he has made his mari as a breeder and importer, and his exhibit is of the purest blood of the standard bred class in which he takes a just degree of pride. He was born and raised among the heaths of Scotland, from whence the Clyde originates, and his professional aptness illustrates the old saying that ‘‘what’s born in the bone is hard to take out of the flesh.”” Nance county has reason to feel nighly hon- ored in her champion of the Clydé and Percheron. Bazaar Chief and Dusty Mil- lar, the Clydes, Jip, the Clyde mare, Mont Lous, the Percheron, are of handsome form and color and bedr every mark of the famous draft horses of their class. Watson’s Horse Exhibit. No stud of horses has attracted wider at- tention on the grounds than that of Joseph Watson & Co., of Beatrice, who bid hard but did not beg for the sweepstakes. Asone of the firm’s attendants put it, “The com- pany took all of the premiwns at Omaha.” Here the company took first on Nailstone Aristocrat, and every horse was in the “short leat” when the premium awards were made, Second was taken on King Passion in the ‘‘age” class.. Second also on King Heary in the two-year-clds. Mr. Wat- son's exhibit was exclusive English Shire. Finer bred draft hors annot be found in the west. He has been in the importing business for six years past, with headquar- ters at Beatrice, and is oue of the oldest and best known horse men in the state or west. Anyone going to his stables are always sure 1o lind Shires of the finest class on hand. Sloan’s Clydesdales, Calder, a beautiful lignt bay statlion with white points, took the first premium for the best two-year-old of his class. The sire of Calder is Laird, of Logan, he by Old Times. The latter horse was_the winner of many highland and agricultural society prizes. The Laird of Logan’s dam was bred by J. Campbell, Craichmore, and has rare blood, Crown Prince, sire of ' Calder's dam, ganed the Glasgow prize in 1573, He is by Loch Fergus Champion. Crown Prince's dam is sired by the Prince of Wales, the finest horse in Scotland. This magnificent two-year-oid Calder is owned by Alec Sloan, of Unadilla, Otoe county, who imported him, and by many he was considered the finest horse on the ground. Mr. Sloan exhibited several other horses of less merit, but which are likely to prove useful breeders, and he is ba- coming prominently kuown as an importer in the southeastern partof the state. Omaha Business Coilege, The Omaha business college was repre- sented by Prof. G, T. Rathbun, who had a splendid exhibit of beautiful pen work of large dimensions, He carried off the first premium on plam penmanship over all com- petitors. The popular busiuess colioge he s0 efficiently represented grows in popularity from doy to day, and ranks among the very best institutions of the kind in the west. Prof. Rathbun states that the matriculants from term to term show & marked increase. Comparison Solicited.—A wise dis- crimination should be exercised by all who take medicine. The proprietors of Hood’s Sarsapavilla solicit a careful comparison of this medicine with other blood purifiers and medicines, being confident that the peculiar merits of Hoods Sarsaparilly are so apparent that the people will unhesitatingly prefer it to any other preparation. Hood's Sar- sapavilla {8 not a mixture of molasses aad a few inert rootsand herbs, but it is a peculiar concentrated extract of the best alterative and blood purifying rem- edies of the vegetable kingdom. The enormous sales of Hood's Sarsaparilla and the wonderful cures effected, prove oven more than has been claimed for this medicine. If you are sick the best medicive is none too good. Therefore take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Building Permits.

A FOOLISA REPORT, The Afleged Reversal of the Fletoher Oourt-Martial Finding. The following tolegram was received yes- torday by & Chiongd paper from its Washe ington correspondefit and was forwarded to this city ! “The finding in the sensational court- martial at Omaha agdinst Lioutenant Colonel Flotchor for conduck unbecoming an officer and gentleman, has been roversed, and Licutenant Colonal Fletcher, whose sen- tence was to b dismissed from the service, will be reinstated, "The colonel was con- victed by court-martial and the case then came to Advocats General Liover, who, after inquiring carofully - into it, became convinced that Col- onel Fletcher was tho victim of a conspiracy and determined to right him. He recommended a reversal of the decision. General Schofield then took up the caso as senior advocate general of the army, and ap- proved General Lieber's view of it. “General Sohofield 1s at prosent acting sec- retury of war, and might approve his own finding, but he profers to await the return of Secretary Proctor, who will take the case to the president. There is no doubt of his ap- proval.” The news was immediately forwarded to Fort Omaha, whore it was variously consid- ered by the officers at that place. It was also discussed by the ofiicers at tho headquarters, To verify the statement, in view of the fact that the telegram contained some fp- consistencirs, Tuw Brr telegraphod fts Washington correspondert und received tho following reply: “When Tar Ber correspondent to-day showed General Schofield, acting secrotary of war, the dispatch announcing that the finding in the Flotcher court-martial had been reversed by the war department, ho said: ‘“There is mno founaation for such a statoment, Secretary Prootor will act upon the caso and he has rever seen the papers, They were sent to me and have beon and are yet in my hands to be laid before Sucretary Proctor when he returns to Washington,” Something to Remember. If youare going east remember tho “Rock Island Route” run the sleepers and chair cars of their solid vestibule train to and from the Omaha depot, leaving Omaha at 8:45 p. m., thus avoid- ing the transfer at Council Bluffs. Three solid trains daily. All chair cars are free. Dining cars on all through trains, Our trains make close connec- tion with all eastorn limited trains con- wecting in union depot at Chicago, avoiding a transfer across the city to parties enroute to New York, Boston and other eastern cities, “and every thing a little better than other lines can offer.” S. S. STEVENS, Ticket office 1305 Farnam, Gen’l W. A. CAMPAIGN HASTE. Mr. Coburn Making It in His Cases in Court, Sheriff Coburn will probably file his suit against the commissioners to-day and the judges say they will hear it in chambers any day next week which may be agroed upon. It is hoped also by the sheriff that County Attorney Mahoney will make up and file the suit against him so that poth cases can be heard at the same time, It is whispered in outside circles that Mr. Coburn’s anxiety to have a final disposition of this matter is based on political reasons. Adriend of his said this morning that if the court decides against him it will greatly in- jure his chances for @ renomination, but if he wins the victory is bound to benefit as well as increase his chances. It is thought that on the result depends his future action, whether he will continue to be a candidate or withdraw enurely from the race. Puget Sound. All points on Puget sound are more casily reach via the Northern Pacific than” any other line. This is the only line reaching all parts of Washington territory, is the only line running colo- nist sleépers through the territory d rect to Tacoma, and is the only line via which through tickets can be purchased. The Northern Pacific allows stopovers at_all points in Washington territory to holders of second-class tickets read- ing via their line.

Mr. Hartman was highly pleased with the results of his trip. He taked with the chicfs of fire dopartments from Boston New York, Detroit, Cloveland, Now Or. leans and other cities, and examined the latest inventions in machinery and appli- ances used for fire fighting. He examined especially the difforent makes of five hose and secured the opinions of the fire chiefs from other cities upon the comparative ULL.WE/GHN ¥ PU Rl z y the United States Government. and Public Food Analyst Baking Powder does not cos tracts, Vauilla, Lemon, Ora marits of rubber and fabric fire hose.

The Politioal Pot Has Commenced to Boll in That Body. The Sixth ward republican ofub held its regular meeting last night. Very little busi- ness was transacted, although there was considerable quiet work going on, It was decided that the prize monoy re- ceived from the Merchants' Week ocia- tion suould be turned into the treasury as a reserve fund. A number of small bills were ordered paid. The matter of the creating of a third pre- cinct in the ward, which had been referred 10 & committee consisting of the two council men from the Sixth ward, was expected to come up for report, but nothing was heard of it. The residents of the western part of the ward sre very anxious to have a third p cinct created, but tho probabilities are tha the matter will be engineered so as to deprive them of this privilego until after the olec- ion. It became known that an emissary of Mike Lee was prosent with a resolution already preparod, which he was prepared to spring on the club, endorsing Loe as candi- date for the shrievalty. A resolution was prepared and ntroduged beforo the Tee delegate could get 1n a word, declaring it to be the sentiment of the club that no candi- date for a county office bo endorsed by the club, This blocked the game of the Lee man, and he withdrew in disgust. The members of the club foel very sore over the manuer in ich the board of education ignored their recommenda- tion for a successor to Mr. Millard, The club beld a meeting some time ago and rec- ommended Mr. Howard Kelsey as their choice for a representative, and so intimated to the members of the board. They are dis- gusted with the manner in which their rec- ommendation was ignored. One member said last night: “If the board had elected a man from another ward we wouldn’t have thought so much about it, but they took a Sixth ward man, and one whom the club hag refused to endorse.” There were numerous threats of a whole- sale knifing when it comes to another elec- tion of members for the board of education. The feeling against one member of the board in particular is very bitter, It is charged that this member opposed Kelsey on purely personal grounds. The Fourth Ward Republicans. The annual meeting of the Fourth Ward Republican club was held last evening at the office of Judge Gustave Anderson and was quite largely attended. After the admission of several staunch republicans to membe: ship and the tramsacting of other routine business, the election of oMcers for the cn- suing term was the order of business, re- sulting in the unanimous election of Thowas K. Sudborough for president. R. D, Duncan was elected vice president, Ed Whitehorn secretury and Peter Sharkey treasurer. The next order of business was the clect- ing of delegates to the state convention of republican clubs, which will be held in Hast ings early next month, resulting as follow: }3. H. Wheeler, W. F. Gurley and R. 8. Berlin, Much enthusiasm was manifested and the unanimity of the vote for president was evi- dence enough that there will be very little factiomsm in the Fourth Ward Republican club during the forthcoming campaig. AMUSEMENTS. “The Brass Monkey” drew another good audience to Boyd’s opera house last night, but it didn’t go off as well as at the first per- formance, However, the more ono sees of this comedy the better he likes it. Dodge ‘Work is the cleverest character in A Brass Monkey,” and Mr. Tim Murphy plays the part to perfection, He is a splendid actor. Still, Jonah, as presented by Charles Drew, is a quaint, queer old man, and Mr. Hoyt has put ideas nto his head as well as sayings into his mouth that make him rather iuteresting. Miss Flora Walsh, as Baggage, is just as ciever as she can be, and the three young ladies capture everybody’s admira- tion. They are pretty, lively and play their parts well. Miss Bedford, out on her first tour, is one of the most charming of all the stage beauties that has ever been seen in Omaha, and gives promise of becoming an artist in her profession. —_— For Any Form of Kidney or Bladdcr Trouable Go to Excelsior Springs, Mo.
