One of the chie features of the fair will be the county col lective exhibit. For this class the board of managers has appropriated $2,000 and provision has been made for a number of prizes in addition to those named in the printed prize list, which will probably bring the total up to nearly $3,000 “With a view to securing®the best pos sible exhibition of Nebraska's agricultural products tho board of managers has de- cided to leave nothing undone,” said Presi dent Bassett this morning. “We believe | we can show the agricultural resources of the state to better advantage through the county collective exhibits and as a | special inducement we have provided for | A number of additional prizes. For every county exhibit, embracing not less than one carload of products and covering not less than fifty feet table or shelf space and 10xi0 wall space, we will guarantee at least $100 in cash premiums. All ex- bibitors can compete for the $300 first | prize and all pro_rata prizes and if any| of them fail to win as much as we guar- antee, the board will make good its prom- {se and give them $100 in cash.

Both men had been placed in the city bastile last evening, Bigham for being intoxicated and Wonlund because he had been put off the train here and seemed to be mentally unbalanced, not knowing where he was golng.

The insanity of the murderer fs not questioned. Bigham was on his way to Big Spriugs, Neb., and bas a son-in-law living near Wausa.

The thing that was uppermost was the suc- 8 of the republican party throughout Taking up the Kansas City platform he declared it to be a long of com plaints against the government. He could not see what the three parties connected with the declaration could hope for. They were in reality all democrats. The pop ulist party in this state has been absorbed by the democrats except the few who met recently at Grand Island. It simmered down to three things—free coinage « silver, a general charge on the subject of trusts and a howl against militarism and imperialism. The money question, he said, had been settled to the satisfaction of the American people and is discussed In Nebraska. McKinley had said that if he were elected all hould find cmployment. That pledge had been kept and a few months ago the govern ment had 450,000,000 gold dollars stor away In its 1t by from the balance of trade in our favor and was not a 50-cent dollar in it three years of the McKinley administra tion the balance of trade in favor of the United States was more than it had been during all the 100 years preceding that time, or more than from Jefferson to M- Kinley and it was no wonder that the nations of Europe were coming to Amer ica for money with which pay their debts and maintain their standing urmi Dollars Are A Under the McKinley policies | ment the sound American dollar &00d to go into hiding at home a | patriotic to go abroad.

He took pig | iron because it entered largely industry. The product was | that of any previous year. It manifested that one-third of the business and com- | mercial interests of the entire world were | here in America.
