In num- ber of tablets, brick inscribed vases and in the value of cuneiform texts found, the American expedition s sald to rival the exploration of Layard at Nineveh. Dr. Hil- preckt, tho \gulshed Assyrian scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, remains at the museum at the request of the Turkish government to translate inseriptions and ar- range the tablets and other relics, dating back to 4,000 B. C. Many tons of tablets, sarcophagl and the ilke, have already ar- rived at the museum at Constantinople, and the sultan, in recognition of the service of the American professors, has promised the University of Pennsylvania shall recelve one of all duplicate antiquities, Minister Terrel says this enterprise has revealed an antiquity of the human race nearly ten centuries older than science had knowledge of before. The religion, government, habits of life, and, to & great extent, the customs of men who lived 4,000 B. C. are revealed by the inscriptions which are now being transla her arranged by Prof. Hilprecht. Thus far hlets of clay and stone h discovered, bearing inscriptions which in clude promises o pay debts, deeds, contracts and records of important public and private events.

ADAMS IN BAD SHAY May Never Be Possible to Repair the Vessel Fit for Service, WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Advices were recalved at the Navy department from the Alaskan fleet, which bear out the Assoclated press dispatch regarding the unseaworthy condition of the Adams. It seems the accl- dent to the vessel was so serious that it was mecessary for the Yorktown to tow her from Unalaska to Sitka, a distance of 1,000 miles at a rate of eight knots an hour. At Sitka repairs were made and the vessel proceeded to San Francisco, where she arrived last night by slow stages. Had she been an iron vessel instead of wooden, she would have been wrecked when she ran aground. The Adams has been ordered (o the Mare Island yard, but it is said to be uncertain whether she can be repaired to meet the requirements of the service. If not, she will be sold. Admiral Ramsey this afternoon sald Cap- tain Brice has been retired at his own re- quest on account of sickness. All the Bering sea fleet is preparing to sail, as the season closes September 15. This will leave the Ranger, Yorktown, Alert, Mohican, Alba- tross and two revenue cutters, the Bear and Corwin, free for duty elsewhere, although the Corwin may remain in Alaskan waters. Naval officers are disposed to think that Great Britain has not done her duty in car- [ rying out the sealing agreement, since she kept but one small vessel in the Bering sea, leaving the lion’s share of the work to the United Staets. Altogether, they are not disposed to regard the experiment of patrolling the seal fishing waters as a successful one, so far as results in preventing infraction of the agreement by tho sealers are concerned Satolil Knows N ng About His Reecall. WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Mar. Satolli sald today that he had received no communi- cation from the vatican intimating that he would be recalled. When asked about the re- ported intention of the pope to direct his re- turn to Rome and elevate him to the rank of cardinal, Mgr. Satolli made the following statement: "The apostolic delegate has mot recelved any letter as to his recall to Rome. He thinks that the news given is at least in- exact, and he d-es not know anything in this matter," “Is it true that in the event of your nomi- nation as cardinal that your successor wi be the successor of Mgr. Tamossi at Rome? “The apostoi'c delegate has recelved no let- ter of recall. About the matter he has no knowledge.” He declined to discuss the pr bable action of the consistory which the pope Intends to hold in Decembe: Medal for California Wines, SHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Colonel Charles Murphy, one of the representatives of the Department of Agriculture abroad, has re- ported to Secretary Mcrton the award of a &old medal at Universal expositl at An twerp, Belgium, to the California win ex hibit. The California wines fa‘led to reacn the exposition until two weeks after all the awards had been made and the jury had ad- journed. The persistence of Colonel Murphy, backed by the influence of Mr. Gore, the American ¢ mmissioner general, finally sue- ceeded, however, in having the jury recon- vened, with a satisfactory result. Colonel Murphy adds, the jury was a most critical one, embracing some of the most noted wine experts in Europe, !

FORTY THOUSAND PRESENT That Numbor of Visitors Entertaiaed at thy State Fair Wednesday, SOME VERY ATTRACTIVE EXHIBITS Work of the Scholars of the Institute for the Feeble-Minded at Nebraska City Show resting LINCOLN, Sept. 13,—(Special to The Bee.) —Over 40,000 people passed through the gates of the fair yesterday, and the officials cin- tinue to exult over the unequaled success of the show. grand stand was packed, and still no appreciable difference was made in the crowd on the grounds. There is one exhibit in the building where the manufacturers and consumers exhibition is being held which is attracting a g t deal of attention. It is a miniature brush factory under the supervision of Dr. Armstrong, su- perintendent of the Nebraska Institute for the Feeble Minded at Nebraska City. Secre- tary Furnas has been trying for a long time to get the various state institutions to make a display at the thinking that At the races the state fair, the army of taxpavers which comes in would thereby be given a more comfortable feeling over the apprcpriations. In this exhibition Dr. Armstrong has a shop equipped with the necessary machinery and four of the inmates of the institution as operators. The superin- tendent had a long siege with the legislature to get an appropriation for the equipment of tha factory, which is now more than self- sustaining. He maintained that a geod many of his charges could be trained to do some simple kind of work, but the board laughed at him. Finally he got hold of some of the machinery necessary for a brush factory, and, buying the material, started up on hi own responsibility. On their next visit the members cf the board were convinced, and now has twenty-three of the 191 mates of the institution ple and profitably employed. They make thing from ‘scrubbing brushes to silk hat brushes, and when they leave the shop they are finished as clegantly as the products of the most extensive factories in the country. Only one of .these boys can be trusted with the big shears which arc used to trim the brushes after they are made, and for most of them it Is a triumph to be able to per- from the simplest mechanical operation, such as (he tying of a knot or threading a needle. It is almost painful to witness the child-like every- gle: with which one of them holds up a completed brush and waits for the superin- tendent to clip it Perhaps the best all-round display in the agricultural hall is that made by Douglas county, which |s in charge of Mr. R. Engle man. It includes specimens of nearly every gricultural product of the county, and they e samples of the best on the grounds. The county has a space of 150 feet in extent in the north wing and it is filled to overflow- ing. The Worl®'s fair at Chicago had nd featur which is not reproduced on a small scale, even to the Midway. There is a Ferris wheel, a congress of nations, a groop of snake charmers and a multitude of agonizing musi- cal instrument Douglas county was given the premium as the best county exhibit.

Boosters Hastling for the Capital City. LINCOLN, Sept. 13.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—Tha Commercial club Is making strenuous efforts to retain the state fair in Lincoln for another term of five years. Its members have agreed to put up a bond in the sum of $20,000 to indemnify the state board from possible loss if the fair is feft here. The town seems to be thoroughly aroused at the threatened loss of the fair, and business men are subscribing liberally to a fund for the purchase of fair tickets, agreeing to pay for them and give them away to their frionds and pa‘rons. Omaha fs looked upon as an arch enemy for daring to compete for the prize and rumors are rife berating Omaha and the inability of her people to properly take care of the crowds fair week. One silly story runs to the effect that when the fair was last held there ladies and children were compelled to walk the streets at night for want of lodgings. The fact that the recent Douglas county fair was not patronized by Omaha is talked as an state fair would not be. Pajd agents of the B. & M. are doing everything in their power to secure enough votes to retain the fair at Lincoln, not because the road would profit #0 much more than it would if the fair went to Omaha, but because the officials of the road have adopted a policy antagonistic to Omaha, not only politically, but commer- clally. " “'Anything to beat Omaha’ is the war cry, and, with the power and energy of all the forces at work in behalf of Lin- coln, it looks tonight as if Omaha would not be in It when the vote is taken on reloca- tion. argument that the Falls City Improveme«nts, FALLS CITY, Neb, Sept. 13.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—Gists, Greenwood & Co. are demolishing their old store building preparatory to erecting a fine brick on their lots.

The fruit crop of this county is all right this year, being greater than it has been for years. Thousands of bushels of apples have been shipped out, and more to follow. The grape yield s enormous, and large ship- ments are being nade to various Nebraska polnts. Although corn is damaged in the northern part of the county to a considerable extent, the crop will average over half all over the county, and with the price double what it is ordinarily, the farmers of this county are all right. Reports show some fields along the Missouri river averaging sixty bushels to the acre, while the fields in this im- mediate vicinity will average thirty bushels. The yield of wheat in this county helped the farmers out a great deal, as some are intending to feed their logs wheat instead of corn, that is, those that have hogs left, as the cholera has killed hundreds.

LINCOLN, Sept. 13.—(Special to The Bee.) —Frank H. Wilson, who created so much excitement in a Malvern, Ia., hotel, where his Lincoln wife suddenly confronted him, is well known here. He formerly worked for Pomrene & Cooper, plumbers and gas fitters, who pronounce him an energetic workman. Wilson's first wife was burned to death by a gasoline explosion some time ago, and June 13, 1893, he married Miss Visa Pierson at Grand Island. They removed to Lincoln and took up their residence at 2157 §outh Six- teenth street. His two oldest children were sent to a convent at Columbus, Neb., while the youngest, who is 3 years old, was cared for by his second wife. Wils'n has been traveling for the last few months, and his wite never suspected his duplicity until his continued failure ta write to her aroused her suspicions. She then decided to leave for Malvern, with the result as told by a special from that place, to The Bez. She returned to Lincoln this morning, but could not be found, though it is known that she has engaged the services of a lawyer. There was a shooting scrape early this morning in the vicinity of Twenty-ninth and Fair streets, which resulted from a domestic quarrel between Eph Corneal and his wife. Eph was the sufferer, as he recelved two bullet wounds in his anatomy, which, It is thought, will mot prove fatal. The police were called to the house at 2 o'clock this morning, and Corneal taken into custody on complaint of his wife, who claimed that he assaulted her. He was released on his own recognizance and allowed to depart in search of a physician tg lcok after his injuries. It seems that Corneal {s in the habit of abusing his wife, and last night, when she returned late from a party in South Lincoln, he began ta pick a quarrel with her, in which she got the better of him.
