8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, PLACING ~ THE Btate Fair Just Beginning to Show What it Will Be. BUSY DAYS AT NEBRASKA'S WHITE CITY EXHIBITS Magnitnde Magnificence of Displays Will Be Unprecedented =Novel Idens Being Carried Out—=At Grounds Yeste All the activity and bustle of an average city was concenfrated at the state fair grounds yesterday. The task of preparing the exhibits that they may present thelr best appearance to next week's visitors Is fairly under way and it has progressed just far enough to Indicate the magnitude of the un- dertaking. The finishing touches have been added to the buildings and the carpenters and painters have retired in favor of the decora- tors and exhibitors, These iatter have a vast amount of work to crowd into the next three days and a busier scene than the interior of the big buildings would be difficult to Im- agine The streets leading to the grounds were full of vehicles almost as #oon as the sun rose yesterd: A passcnger on an early car said it reminded him of the first rush into tne Che Strip, only that there were no babi ng the burdens. There was a con- tinuous stream of vehicles on Leavenworth strect and the loads of supplies and exhibits that the horses dragged through the fluffy dust seemed sufficient to stock a new state. There were farm wagons laden with melons huge squashes and every imaginable product of the farm and garden; heavy drays creak- ing under burdens of machinery and farm implements; loads of everything from pin cushions to threshing machines, and from prize pumpking to the most valuable works of art, and all going to add to the biggest show Nebraska ever saw. 1t would seem to the observer that all this was sufficient to make a very respectable fair; he might stand in the entrance gate for ari hour and wonder where all the wagons and their contents went to. So vast Is the en- terprise which Omaha built that the long line of vehicles threaded their way into the grounds and were apparently lost. Hundreds of loads seemed but a drop in the bucket and their offect was scarcely perceptible in the immense aggregate which lay spread out on the Nebraska hillside. When it is sald that even tha vast buildings already constructed will scar suffice to contain all that is coming and 1§ vet to come, a better idea is afforded of the unprecedented spectacle which a “drouth sufferer” will present. ARRANGING THE 1IBI1 In the interior of the buildings all is sug- gestion and but little as yet complete. The preparations for the reception of the exhibits present such an array of unique and artistic ideas as is only possible when the efforts of a commonwealth are concetrated on a single achievement, It would seem that the spirit of competition has spread all over the state and each county and individual has put all possible brains and energy into a desperate effort to outdo all competitors. A farmer from Buffalo county who was in the agri- cultural hall yesterday sald that judging by the exhibits so in sight the meane of them would have been a prize winner any fair that had ever been held in Ne braska Lincoln, Sarpy, Buffalo, Chase, Plerce and Cuming are among tavse counties having exhibits already on the grounds, and it would be difficult to say which will present the most attractive and novel array of farm products. In the arrangements thus far a degree of taste and invention is in evidence which has been but seldom equdled in similar efforts in the older and more populous states, and what scems a sl nlar fact is that no idea ns to be duplicated. Each exhibit Is attractive in an entirely different way from any other, and, aside from ‘tie exhibits proper, each has evoiyed some -curiously novel designs to set off_tha mtiractions of the products, In the Mercantlle and Manufaeturers' buildings thes ideas are yet in embryo. Here there is a maze of unfinished designs in which tho idea of the inventor is not realiged, but which suggest the most beautiful cffects when the decorators have carried out their inten- tions. There are. grottoes, castles and build- ings indics every Idea of miniature archi- tecture, wiyeh only lack the finishing touch to transform the broad areas of unpainted floor into a veritable magician’s reaim. Superintendent of Buildings Banker was en- gaged in placing the exhibit of the manual training g pol, the kKindergarten departments and the drawing exhibit. The drawing ex hibit is taken from all the city schools; the Kindergarte exhibit is a contribution of twelve kindergartens, while the manual train- ing school s trom the one department, com prising work, some of which has taken i designers fully six months to complete. Ow- ing to a lack of space some of the drawing exhibits ere crowded out entirely. MAKING A PRETTY PICTURE. The Palace of Wine Arts, under the direc- tion of Hon. George W. Lininger and a corps of assistants, promises to be one of the most striking attractions of the fair. More than $60,000 worth of paintings will be hung around ‘the walls of the building, and yes- terday the painters were putting on a fresco in delicate tints that will set off the myriad colors of the display to the best advantage. Yesterday Mr. Lininger brought out a couple -of wagon loads of the most chaice works from his private gallery, all of which will be utilized to fill any, spaces that may remain after the exhibits are all hung. Mr. Lininger is preparing for an art exhibition that will be beyond compari- son with that of any previous fair, The approathes to the building are being trans- formed into a garden such as cannot be seen around any private residence in Omaha. Fully 100 pleces of rare potted plants, whose variegated colors are reflected from a back- ground of palms, rare cacti and banana trees, surround the main entrance, and the effect is still further supplemented by several pleces of bronze and statuary, which are in pleasing contrast to the deep green of the surrounding foliage The office of the state fair board was re- moved to the grounds yesterday. Today and tomorrow the managers and the superin- tendents of the various departments will have & monfh’s business crgwded on to thelr hands. They everywhere in evid and wherever they go there are always a dozen employes or exhibitors claiming thelr attention at once. While the plans have bLeen pretty thoroughly arranged in all de- partments, there are an endless number of details to be worked out, which require a greater amount of patience and omnipresence than Is supposed to belong Lo average human nature. The wind in had a clean sweep over grounds yestcrday, and a cloud of from the newly graded roads was a greeable feature. The sprinklers were 0 work duriug the day, and between mnow and Monday the roads will be sufficiently settled, 50 that progress around the grounds will be unattended by any material diseom- fort from that source, the dust disa put TO TURN INTO DAY, Pluns fo ts ana ations for turning Oma thoroughfares during the nights of fair week | Into a blaze of light like the have practically been brought fx a close. Already 0 incandescent electrie light bulbs dangle in the air ready at the word to flash into brilliancy, while some hundreds of arc lights will add to the lustre of the moving processions. Additional fe res have within the last few days been addéd and new electric dis- plays planned for the big public bulldings.

Not a little comment has been excited among those who have had occasion to look Into the public buildings at the tasteful In- side decorations. Many of them are being beautifully draped in the national and Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben colors, The city electrician states that every pre- caution has been taken to render the elec- tric display free from danger. If the small boy heeds the warning sent out by the elec- trician's office, no fear need be felt of any trouble. The warning, which has been placed in"the hands of the police for enforcement, informs the small boy that in his eagerness to sce the parades he must not climb the electric poles while the electric lights are turned on. There is a difference of 500 volts between the two wires strung on the poles, and should any one attempt to meddle with the passing electricity, it might be un- pleasant, if not fatal. A further precaution has been taken, and each two blocks of light are arranged in districts, subject to a sep- arate switchboard. In case of any accident each district can be managed separately Additional lights have been placed on the west side of the city hall, where review stands are being erected, A large arc lamp, arranged to act as an‘electric search light, will be placed so as to sweep the passing chariots. 1t is understood sloners that tho sign holds good at night, and the court hous enclosure fs not to be ruthlessly trampled on.

Traveling Men to Join the Thursdny Night Pa High Chancellor Samson of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben has issued an invitation to all of the “Knights of the Grip” to participate in his parade next Thursday night. The invit tion was accepted and members of a com- mittee of traveling men have made arrange ments for 500 helmets, 500 belts, 500 dusters and 500 silk badges with the Ak-Sar-Ben colors. Each man will be supplied with a Japanese parasol and the whole regalia will be sold to the members of the fraternity for the small sum of $1.25.

Machine nn Shown Up by Messrs. Richard and Rosewnter Repudinted— Remarks of the Speaker: Voters of the Third ward met last night and took active steps in the direction of or- ganizing a branch club of the Citizens’ league. In spite of the Intense heat Knights Labor hall was filled when at 8 o'clock James Crelghton called the meeting to order and stated Its purpose. He made a brief talk in which he said that in a residence of thirty- nine years in Omaha he had never before presided at a meeting of any kind. He was very much In earnest in this movement, he realized pinheaded politicians who had damaged the credit of the city and were burdening the people with unjust taxation as a result of | corrupt and extravagant management of city and . county affairs, R. W. Richardson was called upoa to ad- dress the meeting upon the object of the Citizens' league and its plans work in the city government. The work, he sald, was of interest to every citizen, as it came home to every one. “For years the of municipal government has ue- manded the best thought and attention of the ablest men in the country, It concarns every citizen that he may by his act do the e for himself, his famfly and t community In which he lives. It Is im tant that necessities such as gas and elec lighting, water service and strest ra‘l transportation be placed within the reach umer at the lowest possible c n you elect men to the council and they pt ‘passes from the street railway com- they sell their votes and their !n- fluencs to that company while you are pay- ing them to represent you and protect your interests. When such ‘conditions exist, as they do in this city, it is a sign that there is something wrong, and they exist because you allow «them to. In other and older ies thess franchises and privileges which you glve away are sold to the corporations and the city profits by the sale. Transportation is reduced to 2 of 3 cents instead of 5, as you pay, and a large sum of money is pala into the ¢, treasury each year for the franchise privileges and lightens the burdens of taxation. Such questions interest every laboring to whom the matter of strest railway transportation cuts a figure in his earnings. “When such conditions exist in a com- munity it should atouse the patriotism ot every one who loves his country, its insti- tutions and his fellow men. It fs time he should ass'rt his patriotism, his manhood and declare against the cliques and classes and rings that bring about such conditions.’ COLORED VOTERS AND A. P. A. Mr. Richardson discussed the A. P. A. question in plain terms. He could not unde stand how under heaven a colored man could belong to the A. P. A. That organization sought to proscribe colored men, toreign horn citizens and Catholics. The megro should be the last man on earth to favor the dis- franchisement and proscription of any man on earth. “You ought to remember,” said the speaker, “the treasure and bood that was shed for your liberty in the war for the equality of all men. Knownothingism and A.ism are identical In their doctrines. v would proscribe the negro. They would cribe the Catho'le. Yet in tne roll of brave men who fought for your liberty shine| the names of Sheridan and Sherman, and Meagher and Shields, all heroes and all Cath- olics, Yet such is the doctrine and practice of the A. P. in Omaha today that the daughter of one of those men who fought for your freedom and your liberty cannot be e'ected to a position as janiter In.one of your scheol buildings in this city. James G. Blaine, that man the mention of whose name thrills the heart of every American citizen, had a Catholic mother. Yet the daughter of James G. Blaine, with her father's greatncss and her father's blood coursing tarough her veins, could not be elected to the position of teacher in the public schools of Omaha today under your A. P. A. rule.” Mr. Richardson closed with an appeal to his hearers to come out into the broad light of day, away from the midnight skulkers, and decide the question of citizenship and home rule from the standpoint of men and citizens and not from the standpoint of partisans, CONCERNS ALL CITIZENS. Mr. E. Rosewater was called upon as the next speaker and gave the audience a lively twenty-minute speech on the fss-es of the coming campaign in Omaha ard Douglas county. “We have met here in Labor hall," sald the speaker, “where the men who are organized in a common cause meet, and whose motto Is: ‘The concarn of ons is the concern of a'l' And s0 't i with you as citizens. What concerns one c tizen concerns all citizens, The rights of one are the rights of all, and when you deny one man’s rights you deny the rights of all, for those who deny one man’s rights will in turn deny the rights of soma one else and reprisils in- evitably follow. What concerns you in this movement is that this city shall hive a gov- ernment for all the people; that a man who is seeking work and wil to work shail have the same rights as every other laborer, despite any pull, influence or connect'on with any clique or creed, regardless of coor or politice, “The real gronnd swell that was under sn1 back of this A. P. A. mov:ment four years ago was the general charge that the Irish had most of the offices. They had most of the places on the street force and held mo°t of the positions in the city and county depast- ments of government. Then the pushers of the A. P. A. went to the Scand'navians and to the Bohemians and other classes of citizens and urged that the Irish b put o:t that the other classes might be put in. In- cidentally there was some talk about papal proscriptions and the red sciool house, but behind it all was the scramble for office. We have had the A. P. A. rule in office and what have you got out of it? “I had occasion on Thursday evening to drive out to Millard, and out near the state fair grounds we passed a great number of tents and saw an army of men at work grad- ng the streets for the county. What did it all mean? About three years ago the county voted §150,000 and instructed the county com- missioners to exvend It in improving and paving at least two roadways leading out of the city. They did part of the work, but last fall there was $65,000 left in the treas- ury. At that time hundreds and thousands of ‘men were begging for work, were willing to work for $1 a day or less, but the co: missioners would not use this money and glve employment to the men. The money was kept on deposit in the banks for the benefit of the money lenders, and laboring men were compelled to leave the city and go elsewhere to seek work to support their fam- ilies. They did not put the money in circu- lation this spring. There was no election: on hand. DIFFERENT AS ELECTION APPROACHED. “But about September 1895, the forces were put to work, under a contractor, and the men will be ready to vote at the coming primaries and elections to return the men now in power to office. It's the same way with the water works company. That &oni- pany owns the city council, but the council could ‘not pass the ordinance over a vefo to put $55,000 into improvements. They couldn’t | pass it last spring because there was no tion at ihat time, but a few days ago the ordinance was passed over a veto, and that money will be dumped into the corruption fund and used to buy the men who will sell their votes and their manhood to get work. But then, these gentlemen tell us that they are doing the best they can. So do the men in the court house tell us t Well, proba- bly they are doing the best they can. Maybe that's the best they can do. That's wha they sald about tlho sheriff = who turned the jail Into a brothel, and that's' what they sald about the county judge, Eller, who robbed the estates of widows and erphans. It was the best they could do. They would have done worse if they eould. d “They talk to us about the lttle red gchool house. ~ I have had something to do with the school houses of Omaba myself. I ‘have had all my children educated in the public schools of Omaha, and I have paid more money for the buliding of schools in Omaha than all the members of the Board of Edu- cation and Council 125 combined. 1 framed the law under which the Omaba public schools are managed, and I placed there of | the necessity of dethroning the | for reform | | | | | Scott. | olause that no sectsor religious denomina- | tion should control the schools or become a | | part of them and ‘ehag all white and bluck, sheuki leges In the schools, THEIR WORK BOR THE SCHOOLS. | “Now what are these detenders of the flag doing for the schools? In 1989 the charter was amended providigg that thecity treas- | urer should deposit all money In the banks | and that the Interest thercon should go to! the city. Henry Bolln, who 18 one of the ‘friends,’ drew a fineidistinction and decided | that the school money was not city money, | .£0 he put the school money on deposit to his | personal credit and put. the. interest in hiis | own pocket. 1 told Mm when he was running | for re-election that it he did not turn the in- | terest on that echool money into the treasury 1 would commence action in the courts and compel him to turn it . He turned in | some $10,000, which would never have gone jnto the fund except for my efforts. These | friends’' of the public schools are showing | | their friendship by useless and extravagant | expenditures of money that are robbing your | children of the education to which they are entitled in_the schools. | “These ‘friends’ say that Henry Bolln is | a nice man and honest. On June 18, when Henry Bolln's shortage was discovered, or | soon after that, four men were put on the pay roll of the city at $20 a day to find out | Just how much Henry Bolln was short.

Mr. Rosewater coneluded by asking the | voters of the ward to enroll their names in | the club that was being orgdnized that they might have a voice in the naming of the candidates of the league.

Dear Sir: As governor of Mississippi for twelve years, it has been my prerogative to thoroughly acquaint myself with the advartages of the | state from every industrial standpoint, com- | mercial as well as manufacturing. It Is my | very great pleasure to bear testimony to her | | numerous advantages, and partteularly to | those which are furnished by an unsurpassed climate and soil. The length of our growing seasons give to the farmer in every depart- ment of agricuiture an advantage equaled by few and surpassed by none in the United States. The stern necessity which drove our agriculturist from cotton growing ex- clusively to a more generous diversification of crops has but recently developed the fact that_more money can be made by the farmer in the utilization of his energy and intelli- gence in the cultivation, both for home con- sumption and for export, of every fleld pro- duct known to any soil ‘or climate, as well as those of the garden and orchard, than by following the old beaten track. The raising of stock of every descri has also developed into a most profitable line | of farming industry. Whilst this does not appear to the casual observer entering our state, yet a careful inspection of our farms and ‘flelds and their marvelous production when properly and intelligently controlled, one cannot fail to be impressed with the de- sirableness of Mississippi as a home, devoid of all extremes which are the bane of the farmer's life. Both as a citizen and as governor of the state 1 take pleasure in extending a cordial invitation to the industrious home sceker of the no:thwest, and proffer guarantee of a kindly welcome on part of our entire citizen- ship.
