Mall Or ECHOES FROM THE BIG FAIR, Did It Pay Expénses, the Interesting Question Now. SOME SAY THERE IS A DEFICIT. The Board of Managers Will Settle the Controversy Monday—Close of the Harness Makers' Convention. 1029 P Stuser, LiNcoLN. Sept. 14, ‘Pho Nebraska state fair for 1880 is a thing of the post. It has come and gone and left atrain of pleasant memories behindit. The managers, the exhibitors and the people are all satisfied with everything connected with the exhibition, and the clerk of the weather, who is usually very tyrannical, was pleased tosmile on its efforts during every day of the show. Of course nothing is absolutely known to- day regarding the financial outcome of the fair, Some claim that it has more than paid expenses, while other members of the board of managers think otherwise. In fact, there is & rumor current that Mr. Henry and Mr. Dunham have a bet of a box of cigars on that question, The expenses of this year were some §),200 groater than last year, vi miums §2,000 and special attractions $1,200, The receipts from the sale of booths fell about 81,500 short of last year. This is ex- piained by the fact that each alternate year the receipts from such privileges are less than the year before. The gate receipts more than made this up, boing $2,000 greater than last year. The receipts from the rent of stalls and from the speed ring were about $1,300 greater than last year. Regarding the attendance, Thursday was the biggest day 1n the history of the associa- tion. Every other day during the week was biggor than last year except Monday, which fell short. From reports received from over tho state it is believed that the receips from attendance would have been at least $10,000 greater if tho railroads could have ao- commodated the people who wanted to come. ‘While the railroads made special arrange- ments for this purpose, the demand was 8o much greater than they contemplated that they were absolutely unable to handie the erowds. The fair grounds are abouv deserted this svening, Every oxhibit has been removed @xcept the machinery, which will all be wken away by to-morrow night, 11 the fair should be located iu this oity for five yoars moro there is no question but ‘what the grounds will have to be greatly amproved. There was not a building but what was overtaxed, and Thursday, as many people were turned away from the amphitheater as could be accommodated. Extensive improvewents will have to be wade, and it 18 understood that the people of Lincoln will look after the matter to the sat- istaction of all. The board hopes to finish its work on Monday. LIWCOIN BUREAU OF THE OMATA Has, } A Little Wreck. A railroad collision occurred this after- Boon at Seveuith and M streets, in which, fortunately, no one was seriously injured, There isa B, & M. side track at that point, upon which it is customary for & switch engine w awat the arrival of passenger trains from the west, und as soon as they Pass it takes the main lino again and fol- lown them up to the depot, where it switches the cars into the desired positions. Switch engine No. 215, with Engineer Baruey Haughty and Fireman Pete Me- Gioniss took this sidetrack this afternoon 10 await the arvival of No. 8, the regular FALCO pussenger from the west, dus about 1 o'clock. A switchman, named Al Pond, let them into the switch and then forgot to close it. In consequence of his forgetfulness No. 2 whi ng in soon afterwards at a pretty lively jog, was thrown upon the side track and collided with the switch en- gine. Fortunately the force of the collision was not sufficient to inflict. serious damuge. No. 2 had the usual long train, and the passengers werd somewhat shaken up, but 10 ono seriously hurt, An old lady named Margaret Kelly. living near Palmyra, was standing up getting a drink when the ‘shock came. She bad her head bumped with force sufficient to knock her senseless, but the scalp was not cat, though a big bump upon her head attested the forco of tho bruise. She soon recovered consciousness. She is seventy years old. The enzine of the passenger train, in charge of Engineer Stetson, had the boiler hoad knocked out, and the tank of the switch engino was cut open. Neither were thrown from the track, nor were any of the cars.

The Willard hospital, under the auspices of tho Willard W. C. T. U. of this city, has closed its doors. Since its organization, some two years ago, it has done a power of good. It was well patronized until the last. The ladies do not quit because they had nothing to do, but for various reasons, ono of which is that the lease on the premises at Seven- tecnth and Q streets has expired, and par- tially from the difficulty experienced in rais- ing the money to keep the institution going. It is said that even the churches, which should have been expected to do something, have been lukewarm in their support. There is a rumor that they intend establish- ing an “Open Door,” but this has not been confirmed. The Sisters’ hospitat will begin October 1, and that will supply the demauds of our peo~ ple in that line, The Harnessmakers' Convention. The harnessmakers' convention has just closed in this city. It perfected a permauent organization and elected the following offi- cers: Prosident, W. A. Downing, Kearney; vice presidents, Ed. Stout, Hastings, P. Mat- thews, Albion, John A. Parker, Beatrice, A. H. Brandies, Seward, J. T. Morris, Impe- H.' Grimes, Odell; secretary and treasurer, Chiarles K. Seifert, Lin The purpose of the organization i declared to be to fraternally unite to further the interests of hurnessmakers and to protéct them from the unfair competition of wholesalers who retail, and to cause wholesalers to sell to the consumer or to the dealer, and not to both. Over fifty lotters were read from harness- makors in difforent parts of the state who sympathized with the movement, but. could not be present. A Kemarkably Fino Herd. Tug Bie hos said but little concerning the fine display of horses at the state fair thus far, proferring to waic until the awards were made that would show the judgment of the judges us well as of the paper. 1L is proven, of all the herds shown at the fair, that the herd of Porcherons from Maple Grove farm, near Fremont, Neb., stands at the hoad both in merits and prizes. Maplo Grove furm ana its fino stock is tho property of Mark M. Coad, ono of tho largest and best known breeders of Percherons in the west. Under tho awards made at Lincoln, Mr. Coad's Percherons carried off seventeen first and second promiums, and the sweepstakes prize of §200 for the best herd owned in the state by any one individual or firm, It is just as well to mention here that this herd carried off this same sweopstakes prize at the state fair & yoar ago, making the record perma- nent and going far to_show the good breed- 10g and blood in Mr. Coad’s stock, and show- ing further that Nebraska can raise as good Percherons as can be raised in France. Over one-half of this premium herd was raised in Nebraska, the remaining ones being imported direct from France. Sixteen hend from this herd shown last woek in Omuha o0k fifteen first and second premiums. Standing at the head of this herd is *Turc,” French number, 6,539, American number, 10,052 Turc is four yearsold past sad re- ceived the first promium out of a herd of fourteen stallions exhibited of four years of age and upward, He is undoubtedly one of the finest horses in tne west. Turcalso took first promium for a stallion showing five of his colts, and the sweepstakes for the best stallion of any age or breed with his iramar” is another fine speciman in Mr., Coad’s herd, He s four years old past aud second only to Ture, taking secund price in his class, Miramar's Freach number 1s 9,750 and American 8,977, *“De Lesseps” is a two-year-old stallion, raised on Maple Grove farm. American number 7,550, He took first prize in his class both at the state fair and at Omaha General Mflulunir is also a two-yeur-old stallion, half brother to De Lesseps; Ameri- can number 7.558, He took second premm in his class. Both of these two-year-olds were sired by Heori-Le-Blane, French uuln- ber, 2,433, American number, 4,545, Blane was owned and imported by Mr, Cnm.l, and was a famous breeder. Maple Grove Percherons also took first and second prem- iums on suckling horse colts, first on King and secoud on Honesty, both the get of urc, In mares four-year-old and upwards, Vail- lante took first prize and sweepstakes ooth at Lincoln and Omaha, aud'aiso the same prizes st Lincoln last year. Negro took second premium both a¢ Lincoln and Omaha. In mares threc-year-old Josephine, bred at Maple Grove, took first premium in her class both at Lincoln and Omaba, In the two- year-old class Sebreanne took first premium and S'Maralde took second. 1n suckling mare colts Ethel took first premium. In ad- dition to his percherons Mr. Coad exhibited his French coach stallion$ Royal, and he was a royal specimen. All unite in’ saying that ho was one of the besu horses in the state. He took first premium and sweepstakes i his class. ‘These all are specimens from the herd at Maple Grove, numbering 150 head, Maple Grove is one of tho finest farms in the state and its proprietor has succeeded in demon- strating that as fine horse flesh as is grown in the worid can be produced in Nebraska. Tue Beeis glad to make mention of Mr. Coad’s work and its value to the state. City News and Notes. Within an hour of the close of the fire- works display last night the weathor clerk opened the windows of heaven and the rain came down in torrents, which continued most of the night and nearly all day. The hand- some decorations on the arches and the busi- ness blocks and residences on the principal business strects, which set off the city so well durine the week, are all torn and be- draggled. This, with the tired look on the people, tells plainly that the great state fair 0( 1889, the largest, the biggest and the best in the hl!\lur)' of the association, has come to ‘an abrupt close. Notwithstanding the large crowds in at- toadance at the faw, and the necessarily large number of toughs in the city, thero was less robbery and thieving than ai any pre- vious yoar, A fow dastardly mean cases have come to light, and the police station both yesterday morning and this morning held a large gang of toughs, but the police business of the city and of the falr associa- tion was exceptionally well managed. The Hon, William Henry Smith, late of Philadelphia, bar dean, will open the Central law school in this city, November 5, with & full corps of professors, The readers of Tie Bew will remember the case of the boy thieves who raided the farmers of Lancaster county in tho early part of the summer. Tho three principal thieves, Jim Brown, John Buuler and John Fuller, have been' located at Springfield, 1linois, and on complaint of E. W. Osborne, one of the sufferers, s requisition on the governor of Illinois has been ssued, request- ing their return to this state for trial. Of- cor Malone, as agent for the state, has gone after the parties. The Mystio Shrine held its reguiar meet- 1ng at tho Temple last night. There was a number of shriners from abroad in attond- ance.

George Whitman, of the Republican Val- ley, will spend Sunddy with friends at Mil- ford, returning home to Oxford Monday. . and Mrs. Jobn K.

The great Republican valley seems indeed to bethe garden spot of the state, Here where ten years ago there was nothing but the vast and billowy expanse of prairie, now stand the homes of thousands, attesting the truth of the fact that will makes the way. The sod houses of a few years ago have disappeared and in their places, as if by magic have spruog the com- fortable frame houses and barns and granar- ins of the present land owners, Herds of cattle have usurped the feeding ground of the buffalo, the tame grasses have pushed out their native kinds, orchards have sprung up, vineyards reared, towns teeming with busy industrial life have built up and grown and now require the conveniences of a me- tropolis, This county (Harlan) is within the rain belt, haviag no failure of crops he the last four years from lack of suficie rainfall, and on every hand one sees mav verification of the success and prosp this yeur's farming. Not only are the cereals abundantly produced, buv the tame grasses and fruits are here grown with great suc- cess.
