It Is seldom that a big falr is able to present accommodations for good meals at reasonable prices, but the {Nebraska state falr is an exception along this line. It is no exaggeration to say that the visitors to the White City will be able to get a good meal cheaper than they could down town. The expectation of an unprece- dented attendance has caused more than the usual demand for refreshment privileges, and a Iively competition from the siart has oper ated to keep prices down 1o the iowest posel- * bla notch. The restaurant district is quite a white cit of itself, the entire space between the Man ufacturers’ building and the race track be given over to the temporary structures and tents where the hungry will b invited There are ten large dining halls, which will seat from seventy-five to 150 persons each Here is charged a uniform price of 25 cents & meal, and the meals will be fully equ:l those w could be obtained at ordinary restaurant. Several of the buildin are operated by various churchos and benevolent purposes. The Assoctated Chari- ties pavilion Is the largest of these. The women of some of th- churches of the city will furnish the supplies and the service during each day of the fair. The Prosby terians have a dining hall, and Westminster church has another, and at all thesa home cooking will predominate. Tha patrons will have the pleasure of paying 25 cents for a 50-cent meal, and incidentally assisting a good caus The other establishments are the property of private firms and individuals, who promise to give value recelved. CHEAP PLACES TO FEED. Of the restaurants and the smaller rofrosh- ment booths there are half a hundred now, and others will no doubt locate before another day is over. In these the hungry visitor cin obain a lunch of such dimensions as wiil suit tho emptiness of the stomach and the fullness of the pocketbock. Sandwiches are from 5 to 10 cents each, according to size and material. Coffee, tea and milk sell at the uniform price of a nic Another nickel obtains @ plate of baked beans, exgs, co'd meat or various other viands that can be furnished by a small establishment. A gool lunch can be had at almost any of the stalls for from 10 to 25 cents In the liquid line there is an equal variety and ths same reasonable prices rule. A gla of lemonade costs b cents, and it contal more than the usual allowance of lemon and sugar. Root beer, pop and numerous varic- ties of mineral water go at the same price, and If you haven't a nickel you can push the butfon n one of the Woman's Christian Temperance fountains, which are on the grounds, and get a glass of iced cherry phos. phate for 1 cent. ‘Whether the array of booths and tents will be sufficlent to accommodate the throng that will visit the exposition during the week is decided in the afiirmative by the restaurant men themselves. They claim that the ten large halls will averago 125 people each at a sitting. They argue that the fair visitor will not linger long over his dessert. Most of them will bolt their meal In a hurry. They calculate . that they can feed four tables of people in hour. As the dinmer ~hour at which their facilittes will be put to the test will last from 11:30 to 2 o'clock, they flgure that they can care for 10,000 people at each meal. The remainder will fall to the lot of the smaller establishments, whose name is legion and which can accommodate all the way from twenty to fifty people at a time, each. FOOD TO BE CONSUMED. The amount of supplies that will be con- sumed by the crowd that will be in the grounds on a lively day Is difficult to esti- mate. Ona of the proprietors was figuring yesterday afternoon and his results were simply amazing. “When I am at home, said he, “I run a restaurant where 1 seat fifty people. I have a pretty lively trade threo times a day and I presume that I feed very nearly as many people in proportion to the size of my establishment as any of these restaurants will on an average fair day. In my business T use daily about ninety pounds of beef, twenty-five of pork, fifteen of coffec and one-half cf tea, two bushels of potatoes, twenty gallons of milk and cream and seventy-five loaves of bread. Now to make a low estimate, the various establishments at the fair will accommodate 2,000 people a( one sitting, or just forty times as many as I do when at home. Multiply the supplies I purchase by forty and you get 3,600 pounds of beef, 1,000 pounds of pork, 3,000 loaves of bread, 800 gallons of milk, eighty bushels of potatoes, 600 pounds of cofice and sixty pounds of tea, then you can see something of the size of the job that these booths will h-v; on their hands every day during falr week.” WORK OF L HANE Attraclive Exhibit of the Schools of the State. The cducational exhibit of the public schools and colleges, under the supervision of Charles Fordyce, is the ‘largest ever pre sented at any Nebraska state falr, It is an exhibition of unusual scops and in- terest, but is sadly cramped for want of room. Many school men who came with the work of their schools refused to exhibit be- cause space could not be given for a sample of work from all the grades. Boxes of work from various parts of the state lie unpacked. Of the Omaha school work prepared only one-fourth is exhibited for want of room All this points to one conclusion—an educa- tional building is the imperative need of the association. Such a building would be one of the most complete, and certainly one of the most attractive and interesting.

One of the lads who shows much talent Is young Albrecht. His produc- tion Is a zither, maid by experts to be worth $100. Master Albrecht has a pen and ink sketch of the battle of New Orleans and a crayon which attracts much attention The city schools have a crowded but cred- itable showing of work. Every school is rep- resented by at least one card of work, and | much of the drawing Is very good, perhaps the best ever shown from the pencils of Omaha's children. There is some exquisite color designing in the High schoal spice. Tae plece by Mar- ion Turner is especially pleasing. A pen and ink sketch by Clark Powell is con:p cususly z001 and one by Miss Anderson Is a fit com- panion for it. Miss Daisy Elrcd bas seviral pieces of excellent work. The Mason schoal | has an excellent exhibit throughoit all the | gardes. The cvenness and exce'lency of the work is remarkable. All of Pacific's drawing {5 characterizel by peculiar distiictness of ou which is very pleasing. Park’s eighth grade shows some pleasing eff-cts in designs | for wall piper.

Dora Fredericks has a des'gn in ferns for a plate that is also an addition to this group. A seventh grade card fiom Cen- tral Is very pleasing, especially on an in- tricate tinted design of leaves. Loig's sixih grade card shows a most gracaful design of lilles and cxcellent work upon a small pitcher. Mable Armstrong of Kellom's seventh grada has a very pretty plece of Ce izn by using the vined leaves and b:rries of the Virginia creeper., The little people are not hehind in the com- parative excellsncy of thedr work. Columbizn second grade card shows some very lif:-like and amusing storks, while Long's first B's have some most natural vezetables and a delightful young duck. ie kindergarten work Is very pretty, as kindergarten work always is. In the main it may be divided into two divisions, those who do so called “thought work,” and those who cling to the older cheme of following out ecequences and geometric combinatons without a central idea. The ““thought work” makes very pretty exhibit work, anl ex- plains itself throughout, as in one of the cards from the Leavenworth kinlargarien is shown' the various phases of awakening spring. This is the very prettist card in the exhibit.

It is stated that an cffort wll be made this year to do away with this charm- ing variety in the different tchools in order to “unify all the work." The exhibit of the Nebraska Schocl for the Deaf is ap art gallery in itsclf—very gool work. Crayon, oil and water color is thers, well as fine specimens of wood carving and other manual training devices, Perhaps the most interesting of all is the beautiful young girl who has charge of the exhibit. She Is entirely deaf, yet understands by your lips' movements and answers distinetly with soft expressioaless voice. THEIR LATCH STRINGS ARE OUT. Fraternal Socleties House on the Grounds, Nearly all of the fraternal lodges and so- cleties represented in Omaha have established headquarters on the fair grounds, Here mem- bers of the respective orders, as well as their families and their friends, may retreat from the sun'and rest as long as they please. Couneil 1,069, the local branch of Reyal Arcanum, may be found in a tent to the north of the poultry building. F. L. Gregor: and Thomas E. Cavin are in charge and suc- ceed in making it pleasant for thelr numerous callers. They take great pride in showing their friends a framed letier from the su- preme officer of the order, in which that ofl clal says: “This (Omaha) council stands at the head of all in Nebraska.” The Ancient Order of United Workmen have a splendid building, which has bean con- structed with great care by the members of the local branch. Everything from the grading to the last nail driven in the roof, even the last coat of paint, has ben done by the Ancient Order of United Workmen. Low's Pixley, secretary of the committee, 0. J.

An old ploneer was over- heard to remark yesterday that the cabirf re- minded him of his boyhood home. The state- ment can best be explained by the interior of the cabln ftself, with its old-fashioned fire- place, its log sheives, its erude wooden stools and the axes on the bare walls—a marked contrast to fin de siecle decorations.

Most of the colleges and private schools exhibit work. One of the most interesting speclal ex- hibits is a complete collection of native Nebraska wools. There are over 200 pieces and they are well arranged. Most of the schools show map drawing, original essays, reproductions and notes upon elass day work, Then there Is of course kindergarten work, free hand and perspective drawing and wood and cardboard work. The colleges, notably the Nebraska Wi leyan university, exhibit some complete note hooks upon various selentific sub- jects.

Friday will be Woodmen's day at the fair, and the organization is making prep: rations for a grand reunion of all members in_attendance. The Omaha branch of the Independent Workmen of America was busy all day yester- day arranging its reception room for the state fair visitors. The other societies having tents in the row are the Improved Order of Red Men, the Ne- braska Farmers, the Koights of Pythias, the Order of the World, and the Woman's Chris- tian Temperance unfon. Around the Motels, Hundreds of state fair visitors arrived at the hotels yesterday. At no time was the rush at any place fast or furious, but the steady mauner in which the pages of the hotel registers filled up indicated a vast throng for the busier portions of the week, when the star atiractions of the great show ars well under way. The skirmish line of the army of strangers was made up mostly from towns a short distance from the city. Nearly all parties fram the interior of the state who expect to attend the fair have remained at home over Surday and the trains bearing them will not THE OMAHA DAILY BEEY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1895. of salesmen representing eastern houses in the dry goods, boots and shoes and jewelry lines have opened up sample rooms with elaborate displays. Prominant among the ar- rivals at the Paxton was Monroe Sallsbury, the horse king of San Francisco, who is here in charge of his horses, Alix, Flying Jib, Azote and Directly, who will glve an exhibl- tion heat at the fair grounds today. nEne CROWING, THEY DO THE ns Well as the Fowls Proud of the Display. Crowing over the state falr in both the literal and figurative sense is constantly going on in the poultry bullding. As one enters it he feels that he is at a spol where 100 barnyards have been concentrated into one for the cheorful clarions of the cocks seem to come from every square foot and the music is augmented by the cackling of the hens, the quacking of the ducks, the screaming of guineas and the piping of pigeons. “Indeed there Is such an expression of good nature on the part of all living things here as is observed nowhere else on the grounds. The little Bantam, ever true to his plucky nature, sees to it well' that his voice {s not drowned by that of his big neighbors, the Brahma or Cochin China, Superintendent Lewelling is crowing be- cause the exhibit is in such fine shape and the building so well adapted to its purpose, and because exhibitors are crowing about him. 1f Superintendent Lewelling has fallen short in any particular, no suspicion of it is appar- ent, for his goood sense and intelligence in disposing of the coops, his courtesy to the exhibitors, and his careful expedition in getting the show ready on time are praised unstintedly. 1. W. Hiteheock of Greenleaf, of the judges in this department, and who has had fowls at every poultry show in the west for years, declares that the display of birds in this building Is the finest he ever saw at a fall show in the west, while the ar rangement excels anything of i's kind that ha ever witnesced, J. L. Todd of Atlantic, Ta., who has ninety six birds on exhibition, including abou* eight classes of utility fowls, speaks in the same way, and a cause of much satisfaction with all the exhibitors is that in the construction of the building the objects of light and partis- ularly air have been £o completely attained. Men who have been in the poultry busi- ness all their lives unite 1 saying that never ave they seen so completo a collection. No class seems to be lecking. the range running from the litile Bantam hen of ten ounces to tho largest cock that ever flapped his wings in the Nebraska breezes, and from the tin- fest duck to the moet pompous goose. A Jacksonville man has brought along a cage of ferrets, but these animals as rat catchers are more of a relic with poultry men now than anything else, their considerable use In pouliry yards having been ebandoned Dbacause thelr tendency to destroy rats is equalled by their tendency to destroy chickens. Six rows of pens and coops three decp ex- tend the length of the building, 160 feet, and accoss the ends, are all devices for incubat- fng have a place, as well as all sorts of con- trivances for facilitating the raising of fowls. About 2,500 birds are in the show, the largest class being Barred Plymouth Rocks The oldest specimen of th> chicken tribe is present, Mr. Work says. This is a rose comb brown Leghorn hen, 9 years old. But in spite cg-er age, Mr. Work says, she con- tinues t.# busincss at the oid stand, and is just as ;-uch of an egg machine as ever.

This Is an hybernium of plints on which bees feed. Nine y virie‘ies are shown and it is a remarkab’y sk llful pieze of hani'- work with pressed flowers and plants on cird- board. It is sald that it excieds an exiibi tion of hers at the state fair last year. She has lived all her life with the basy bres, for her father has besn an ext:nsive shipper of | honey for a generaticn. He is ed'tor of ths | Nebraska Beckes:per and the :ecvetary of the Nebraska Bezkeep: asoc ation. He has brought to the fair extracted and comb honey and a number of hive adjuncts and other bee supplies of h's own inv:ntion. In the south end of the caze is & unique fllustration of what bees can ba made to do. Here Is a little house in comb and some let tering, all that man had to with it being to put only the delicately timbered outlines in the hives. This comes from the sp'ary of W. M. James of Pleasant Hill. It attracts much attent'on. Further work in the hybernium line and spiendid 1n execution Is shown by Mrs. R. M. Lewis of Omaba and Mrs. Sellzpaugh of Au- burn.

The design has bean not only to show tha size to which fruit grows in that country, but strate the wonderful productivity for watering waieh Irrigation is relied upon exclusively, All samples of fruit shown are of extracrdinary size, one apple measuring six inches in dlameter, another weighing twenty-elght cunc: another twenty-five ounces. “‘Are they pumpkins or appl:s?” asked one lady as socn as she zaw them. To show the profusion of fruit growth, Mr Hannah has . brought a cluster of .hirteen DBartlect pears, weighing necarly ten pounds, and all still en a branch less than a foot long d not to excead three-quarters of an inch thickness. This is the greatest curicsity Mr. Hannah says that from one not over ten feet high and . 100 pears, which weigh 113 pound picked, and 100 pounds of inferior specimens were left. He Iis prunes, both grezn and dried, and like those he bad st the World's fair, and which wera recoznized peerless. The display covers a ffty-foor space, and contains 100 . varieties of apples, thirty of, pears, twenty of prunes and plums, and, (eft of grapes. In the eol- lection is a finailok,pf seedless Sultan grapes. Beyond the idahp exhibit S. W. Gilbert ras made a fine attempt to show off the ad- vantages of Ofgggp county, Missourl, as a fruit country... He claims (o have some of the largest Bartlett and Dutchess pears on the grounds, ohe'of the latter betng almost thirteen inches i elrcumference, and one of the former mwere: Ahan twelve inches. He mrkes an imppessige and attractive exhibit. He had it at the lowa state fair last week. Saiem county, Oregon, has been made to speak well for “iidel by A. T. Smith, B. S Cook and J. AJ Chase, who have put up rye nearly elght febt: high on the wall, and wheat six feet high with heads to correspond. Ital- fan prunes of $ubibtb size and sweetness plums and peaFs ar on the fruit sid Pl Flowers (gowvded for Space. An unexpected, demand for space in floral hall caused trouble among the florists yester- day. Every inch:of space In the building proper and in the adjoining tent was utilized, and then the plants were crowded so closely together, according to the statement of the superintendent, that the effect was spoiled. The general excellence of the exhibit is noteworthy, but it is to be regretted that a number of displays have been crowded out. A large exhibit was to have been made by H. J. Hasser of Plattsmouth, but he has withdrawn on account of the crowded condi- tion of the floral department, The flowers will be placed on exhibition at 2 o'clock this afterncon. Awards of premium plants wil be made this morning. A critic yosterday sald that the display of cactus plants, exhibited by R. H. Davey of Omaha, elled that seen at the World's fair. Close Quarters for Fru The hortigultural building presented a busy scene al! day long yesterlay.

It will probably be In fts place some time today This building fs crowded, and as the au- thoritles do not wish to narrow the alsles and cannot crowd the frult any more closely together they are sorely puzzled. Room for 2,000 more plates Is wanted, but it is doubtful if it can be secured. There are a large number of exhibitors who “have never before displayed their fruit. Evyery effort is belng made to enconrage ex | hibita by these fruit growers. Messrs, Mas- ters, Walker, Russell and Barnard acted as | Judges ¢ the nawesmers yestrday afternoon, Awarding premiums will be begun today at noon BUFFALO FINE FLOAT. ML to Be Wh rough the Strects. The Buffalo county float from Kearney ar- rived In the city yesterday over the Union Pacific. It was unloaded from the flat car and taken to the Merchants Express com- pany's barn where it will at once be set up In readiness for the Nebraska parade to- night, in which most of the counties of he state will be represented The Buffalo county float is one of the largest and handsomest flots that has thus far arrived. “It is mounted on trucks of heavy construction, with broad tired wheels. It is 11x24 feet in dimensions and will be hauled through the streets by six horses. The top of the float is a pyramid in form, with a flat apex. The sides are profusely decorated with grain, vegetables and fruits. Upon the pin- naclo Is mounted an exact model of tha Kear- ney cocton mills, constructed on a scale of two Inches to the foot. The model repre- sents a building that 1s 400 feet long and two stories high, with a tower Yonsiderably higher. Every wipdow and angle is perfect «nd the minature mill is comilste in every datail, even to the overflow of the Kearney canul, which will be represented by real water. The whole affair is to bo lighted by e storage battery, furnishing a current for a large number of incandescent lamps that will ¢ b2 placed In the mill and behind the water fall. On the four corners of the float will bs placed large plumes of Golden rod and the persons riding on the float will be dressed in uniforms made from the mills, over which they stand guard. The float cost $500. Stute Fair Notes. Today the board of manzgers will open the north gate and pul ticket sellers at this en- trance. Frank Iams of St. tire barn for his exhibit horses.

Officers of th: Douglas County Agricul- tural soclety were busy yesterday recording the last entries for the county exhibit in Agricultural hall. They make their head- querters in a tent north of tha building. The exhibits at the Textile building were still oming in yesterday. A large number of women were in attendance during the day and many favorable comments were hear for the excellent exhibits displayed there. Hon. Grorgs W. Lininger yroposes to profit by the huge lot of material that could rot find a place in A-ricultural hall. He has & me of it to decorate his private gallery and grounds for the Ak-Sar-Ben fete night. Superintendent B. A. Stewart of the horse department says that the exhibit of heavy draught horses is the best on record and th array of trotters and pacers in the speed barns sets a pace that few other state fairs can equal. The splendid cpportunity offered by nature for the imjrovement of the grounds is al- ready a subject of much comment and the cause of much suggestion. Dcan Gardner is enthusisstic over the idea of making an artificial lake inside the race track. The first arrest on the fair grounds yester- day was of the proprietor of a cider mill, who was charging 10 cents a glass for his bev- erags, which he advertised at 5 conts, The offender was discharged by the court and os- corted from the grounds by one of Chier Greba's minjons. All of the exhibits of stock were in yester- day and their number is a surprise to eyeryone concerned. 'This department proves to be bigger than any one anticipated and a number of extra sheds had to be construeted to accommodate the entries. This was espec- fally the case in the hog department, which is fuily one-third larger ihan was expected and double the size of any similar exhibit RUIN 2 MISERY WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE YOUNG MEN OF THE DAY? Paul, Neb., has an en- of heavy draft the the hen the the who Cigarette smoking is one of the evils which is fast increasing among the young men of the period. It is an age of nervous: ness; nervous excitement, nervous weak- ness and debility is the growing malady of the day. Minds are over-burdened in school, the pleasures of social life follow business worry ; intemperance, sexual ex- cesses or abuses over excite the already enfeebled nerves and result in exhausting diseases or drains upon the nervous system. 1s a drag and a handicap to every young man to be a sufferer from nervous debility or weakness, low spirits, irritable tempas, impaired memory, loss of will- evor seon before In this state tho hogs from the Des Moines eame In uablo addition to the Nehraska exhibits Two reference books at the exhibit of R G. Dun & Co. speak plainly of N: growth In the last thirty years, In 1865, 180 morcantile firms were reported the state and sixty-seven in Omaha; in July 1895, there were 19,610 in the state and 1,7 in its metropolis. Yesterday Mr. Belden from Mrs. Rote of Pler, recelved a Neb, visiting the fair | doubled their rates. Mrs. Rote lab a mistake. Hotel rates are the same as here- tofore, there having been no advance, Superintendent Harrison of Agricultural hell scared the board of managers yesterday sending a guard to report that he had gone out of tha hall and would not enter it again until a flag was flying from its staff. Mr. Dunham took the matter seriously and d the flag should go up immediately. Governor Holcomb was cne of the first viait- ors to the state fair. He came up early from Lincoln with General Barry yesterday morn ing. I am proud of it,” sald the governor, He left last evening for Chattanooga, and expressed regrot that he could not ses the big show in the perfection it will take on today. Chlef of Police Grebe has started a rogue’s gallery at his headquarters, He was fur- nished thirty-nine photographs yesterday of the crooks who would be m kely to put in an appearance at the grounds. The police force was lined up at roll call and each ambitious special was given an oppor- tunity to impress the rough mugs on his memory. Tha third and last car load of fish from the state hatchery arrived yesterday after- noon. As the fish exhibit is under the aus- pices of the st commissioner, no premiums wiil be awarded. Diplomas certifying the exhibit will be given the owner of each private exhibit. Two tons of ice are used daily to make the trout think that they are in cool spring water. Theodore Hewes of Trenton, Mo., and F. W. Hitcheoek of Greenleaf, Kan., the expert judges who will award the premiums on the poultry exhibit arrived at the grounds this morning. Both were much surprised at the extent and quality of the Nebraska show and declared that it was way ahead of any poul- try show that had ever been brought together in the west. Last evening Chief Grebe arrested George Raymond and Tim Sullivan for boot-legging. When taken into custody seven pint bottles of whisky were taken from them. Their game was to remain outside the fair grounds and push their wares through the wire fence, offering to sell their whisky at 30 cents a pint. They were sent to tha county jail and will be tried before a United States com- missione: There were hundreds of visitors on the grounds yesterday who wanted to know where Pawnee City was. The band of forty- six pioces that hails from that thriving mu- nicipality gave its first concert and took the crowd by storm. People could scarcely be made to believe that a little town of 2,000 people could support an organization that could render such music as they were listen- ing to. “I'll tell you how it is,” said a Pawnee City man, “‘up there we think more of that band than a 5-year-old boy does of a little red wagon. Every man, woman and child in our town takes as much interest in that band as though they owned it and our children are browght up in the belief that if they can ever aspire to play a horn as the boys do, they will have reached the topmost pinnacle of earthly achlevement. The town is back of this band and that is what has made it pos- sible for us to have a band thai would be a credit to any clty In the United States.” had_not CAN CURE ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER. The majority of sufferers from asthma and Kindred complaints, after trying doctors and numberless remedies adveriised as positive cure without avail, have come to the con- clusion that there is no cure for this most distressing disease, and these same persons will be the more in doubt and skeptical when they learn through the columns of the press that Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, the recognized authority, who has treated more cases of thesa diseases than any living doctor, has achleved succass by porfecting a remedy which not only gives immediate rulief in the worst cases, but has positively cared thou- sands of sufferers who were considered incur- able. These were just as skeptical as some of ou readers mow are. Dr. Schiffmann’s remody no doubt possesses the merit which is claimed for it or he would not authorize willing to give free to each person suffering from asthina fever, phthisic or bron- chitis in this city one free liberal trial box of his cure, but urgently requests ail sufferers to call at Kuhn & Co.'s drug store, 16th and Douglas, from 8 a. m. till 6 p. m. Thuraday, September 19th, and receive a package abso- lutely free of charge, knowing that in mak- ing the claim he does for his cure a strong doubt may arise in the minds of many, and that a personal test, as he offers to all, will ba more convincing, and prove its merits, than the publishing of thousands of testi- monials from persons who have been per- | manently cured by the use of his Asthma | Cure. “Dr. Schiffmann’s Ashtama Cure,” as it Is called, has been sold by druggists of this city ever since it was first introduced, although many persons may never have heard of it, and it i3 with a view to reach- ing these that he makes this offer. This is certainly a most generous and fain offer, and all who are suffering from any of the above complaints should remember the date and place where the distribution will be made, and avail themselyes of the same. Per- sons living out of this city who Cesire to te the efficacy of this most wonderful remedy will receive a package free by mail by writ- ing to Dr. R. Schiffmann, 315 Rosabel s'reet, St. Paul, Minn., providing their leiter Is re- celved before September 30, as no free sam- ples can be obtained after that date.
