It Has Deen a Great Show. “I was telling all summer,” said President Barnes of the State Board of Agriculture, “that we would furnish the fair for this week and we have done it. The hosts of people Who have been here to see it know what it is and what a Nebraska fair can be, but the Omaha people in the essentlals of transporta- tion and water for the grounds have fal'en far short. They now see what we have done and what they must do. You can be sure that noxt year we will keep up this same gait and the Omaha end must bring its part in the fair up to the standard.” Chairman Dinsmore of the Board of Man- agers volced the feeling of his colleagues in saying that he was well pleased with the success of the big show, his chief regrets being that transportation facilities were not adequate and that the water supply was not sufficient, Omuha Gets the Poultry Show. At the semi-annual meeting of the Ne- braska Poultry association, which was held in & tent on the fair grounds Thursday afternoon, it was decided to hold the winter exbibition in Omaha. A very liberal proposi- tion by the Commercial club, with respect to furnishing facilities for the show, was ac- cepted. The exhibition will open on the third Tuesday in Januery and E. §. Jennings of Livcoln was recommended for superintendent. For superintendent of the next state fair show, Mr. Haven of Lincoln was recom- mended, but It only after an animated discussion and the result of the pertimacity of the members of the association in and about Lincoln, who evinced a disposition to change @ number of things that were not to their satisfaction. Between thirty and forty members of the assoclation were present at the meeting. They Saved the Bables. A great scare was caused on the grounds Thursday when the Boston Store tent, in which Mrs. Sullivan was taking care of chil- dren, went down in the wind. The collapse was sudden and the poles and canvas fell over about ferty Mitle tots, many of them being bables n long clothes. Not a single ono, however, was hurt. A goneral rush was made for the apot and every assistance given to Nrs. Sulllvan in rescu'ng the children from thelr sufocating linprisonment. An implement pavilion was offercd as & temporary refuge and there the children were kept until parents came to clabm them.

A telegram fron the police authori‘ies at Joliet, 1L, received yesterday afternoon, stated that two men were under arrest at that place, and that they had in their possession jewels answering to the description of those that had been stolen Mr. Daugherty was informed and at once left for Joliet. He will be followed by D: tective Savage, armed with the necessary apers for the requisition of the arresied men, in case that the jewels are the stolen ones. The arrested men gave the names of Charles Whitney ard Harry Paxton. These names are unfamiliar to the members of the local police, but as it is the custom of crooks to give new names at almost every place they strike, the police are of the opinion that the men are ths ones who stole the jewels, which are valued at $1800.

Colonel Hill has only two Ohio democrats to press his claims, but nearly all of the 103 dem who will be in the next house are ike Hill's friends.

He has always ben an obedi- ent T man. He was a candidate for tire n of doorkeeper of the house in the Fifty-second congress. He made goel prog- ress until cne morning in November, 1891, Dick Croker sent for him and said: *“Tom you must come off.

He has been about the hous for fully a generation, and he never had any political influence. He used to belong to the Columbia volunteer fir2 company during the wor. The engino house was on the brow of Capitol Hill, near the present entrance of the house, and the big oak tree now standing n-arest the capitol used to stand in front of the Columbia’s house. Thad Stevens became interested in young Ch on account of his stalwart appearance and polite manners It was old Thad who first put Chancy on the pay roll, and there Be™has been ever since. Later, after Thad Stevens had pasted away, he became the faithful official attendant of Alexnder H. Stephens of Georgia. He used to bring the little giznt to the house in his chair and wheel him into his place before the speaker's desk and lock after his lunches. His attentions to the ex-vice president of the confederacy attracted attention, and eve one commended him for his gentleness and cirefulness in looking after that greatest of all great Georglans in his generation, Aud so, having made friends on both sides of the house, Young Chancy has been con tinued in position until they now call him 01d Man Chancy, and his temure of office is probably a life tenure.

General Adams of Maryland wants to be doorkeeper. He was doorke:per during the Fifty-first congress, and is working hard to secure his election, but his former champion, Mr. McComas, is no longer in congress, hav- ing been appointed to a life position on the cupreme court of the District of Columbia by President Harrison. There is no stroug man in the house who will make the cause of General Adams his own cause, and there fore the canvass is weak. One morning last March Adams was talking to some republi cans in the cloak room when John L. Wilson, receutly elected senator from Washington came in. Adams remarked that “if Wilson were here he would support me.” Immediately the peppery little senator turned around and sald “It 1 were now a member of the house 1 would oppose you and do my best to defeat you. At the so licitation of your friend, McComas, 1 cast the vote in caucus which gave you your place in the Fitty-first congress, and you know it, for McComas told you. “Then, when 1 went to you for a position for one of my constitu. ents you turned me down. 1 am not & mem ber of the house now, but I will be here next December, and 1f T have any influenc it will be used against you. You can bet on that*” It is characteristic of Mr. Wilson to always resolu- | say what he means, and to mean what he says, and his rejoinder was a hard blow to ams’ canvass, because Wilson is popular and truthful, and congressmen do not want | to vots for any man who will not show full appreciation of tho favors conferred. But whether Adams succeeds or falls, the next doorkeeper of the house will have no path- way wn with roses. There are 242 re- publican members of the house, and not halt enough places to go ‘round. Hence, the | next “doorkeeper will undoubtedly make a number of plodges which he cannot fulfill and he will be a very unpopular man, with |an Ananfas reputation. The republicans will demand places for their working con- | stituent and there will he no places to | give. Consequently, the office of doorkeeper is not one to be desircd, even with its sal- | ary of $3.500 per annum | ANOTHER DESIRABLE OFFICE The position now “held by James Kerr of Pernsyiva the clerkship, is a very desira ble office 1 one of distinction. The ralar is £5,000 per annum, and there are incidental perovisites which maka the income practic- elly $6,000. Ex-Congressman McDowell of Pennsylvania and ex-Congressman Henderson of Hlinois are contesting for the apparent likelihood that the place, with the Pennsylvan- | fan will Win the prize. In that event the Il lirois man will be elected serg at-arms, | at a salary of $4.500 and nothing to do but be honest and properly disburse the morey appropriated for the salaries of mem | bers of the house. General Henderson is a | very popular man, and it is generally be- | lieved that the position of sergeant-at-arms | would prove to be more congenial to him than the clerkship, because {t fs a less exacting | peeition.

A newspaper was published for about a year in the city of Rotterdam, Hol- land, under the management of Nygh (who was ‘a Hollander by birth), and in this paper the most extravagant stories were told as to the profits of fruit growing in California, in- erspersed with alleged letters from New Rotterdam-—as the proposed settlement was christened—detailing the letting of large con- tracts for the grading of st s, building of solid blocks of business houses, etc., all of which was sheer fi also declared (0 be “within five minut a railway station, when, as a matter of fact, the nearest of the tracts of land sold the col- onists was six miles from a railway stat .
