FUSIONISTS LOIE SYATE PROPERTY No Record of Temts Sent to Herm and They Have Remnined There mce — Nebraska we & W il (From: a Staff Cofrespondent) LINCOLN, Sept. 4.—(Special.)—The Ne- braska State faIr has passed another day of unprecedented attendance. It Is esti- mated that fully 21,000 persons passed nmn the turnstiles, which 1s about as the attendance yesterday, but -ul higher than that of the correspond- ing day a year ag The success of the falr has emcouraged the managers in‘the belef that the next legislaturd will make substantial appro- priation” for improving thé bulldings and grounds. Théy point to thé crowds as evi- dence that the fair is increasing in popu- Jarity and they insist that the state should Jgive it some fBnanclal support. The day's program consisted of a con- eert this morning by Hagenow's band and the usual races this afternoon. To- morrow will be the last day of the fair. Some Fu Another ¢ase of ernss carelessness on the part of the former populist state of- flolals has been dio.....cd tarough an ap- plication recently made to Adjutant Gen- eral Colby fér permission te use thirty of the state’s tents at a camp meeting In Madison co The letter dontalning the request explained that the tents sought Bhad been stored in the rallroad station at Herman and were lying there unused and evidently forgotten. An examination of the records in the ad- Jutant gener: office falled to reveal any trace of the tents having been sent to Herman. Further investigation, however, recalled the fact that they had been sent to Herman three years ago for the sufferers from the tornado which visited that town, but there was absolutely no record of the requisition and it fs not likely that the #tate would ever have recovered the prop- érty had it not been for the presentation of the request. Though contrary to the rules and regula- tions of the department, Adjutant General Oolby promptly granted the permission asked, conditional upon the tents being re- turned to the arsenal here at the conclu- sion of the campmeeting. The value of the property is not great, but this fact does not make the carelessness excusable. In the military department, as well as in all others of the state govern- ment, a careful record should be kept of every important transaction. It is custo- mary and necessary to record all requisi- m Carelessneas. ,tions for military property, whether for large or small amounts. Mayor's Horse Brings Good Price. Mayor Winnett recelved information today that & horse he disposed of several months ago for $200 had been sold in Philadelphia for 35,000. The mayor sold the horse to|. Troxell of Beatrice, whq drove it A few weeks and sold It to a Philadelphia buyer for §310. The easterner put the ani- mal on the track and yesterday it entered its first race. It finished a mile in the first heat in 3:31, {n the second in 2:18 and in the third heat the watch stopped at 2:17. Be- fore the animal was taken from the track the owner had sold it for $5,000. Prince Green er, which is the name of the horse, was bred by the mayor and untfl wold-was used for driving and heavy work about his farm. It was of good stock, but Mebody supposed that it was destined for such sensational success on the track. It s & 4-year-old and as yesterday was its first race great things are expected of it. ‘The commissioners of Lancaster county are agsin fovolved in a dispute regarding the allowance of claims for bridges, and Commissioner Welton declares that he will Appeal to the district court, His complaint 15 against the rejectien of several claims for small amounts.

Thomas Gallaudet, famed as a friend and teacher of the deaf, were passed this morning at the convention of deaf mutes. H. B. Dawes, through N. Rothert, delivered a brief ad- dress, encouraging the idea of & state In- dustrial home for the deaf and blind. Rev. Mr. Hasenstab approved the plan and was seconded by John O'Brien of Nebrasks City, who thought that In case of the estab- lishment of such an iastitution the deaf ‘would be sure of steady work. C. Camp of Omaha, N. Rothert and A. Koberstein dis- on some of the points. They thought /it would be better for the deaf to insist on better facilities at the school eo that the students could be taught a trade under the best of instrietion. Once they have learned & trade they would be able to hold @ position without trouble and would have the plessure of a feeling of independence. _ Complaints Against Doctors.

'4.—The ceneus bureau today‘issued a statement showing the increasing age of the population fiom decade to decade. The statement gives the results of computing the median instead of the average age. The median is such an age that halt the population, is under it and balf is over it. The medlan age of the total population in 1500 was 228, as compared with 219 in 1890. The median age of the white population in the last census year was 23.4 and the colored, in- cluding negroes, Indians and Mongollans, was 19.7, while in 1890 the white population was 22.4 and the colored 18.3. The report she there was an increase in the median age of the white pipulation from 1810 to 1900, amounting in the ninety years to 7.4. The median age of the col- ored population increased afl 1830, but with less regularity. The median age of the colored population Increased three years in the seventy-year period as fast as that of the whites. But during the last twenty years of the cemtury the increase for the two groups’has been substantially the same, 1.9 for the colored and two years for the white. statement concludes as follows: any complex influences have co-operated in product as & resultant this steady chenge in the age composition of the pop- ulation. Three may be mentfoned, viz. The rapld progress of medical and sani- tary sclence, which bas tended to increase the average length of life; the decrease in the relative number of childven born, which bas made the earlier age perlods less preponderant numerically in the total population and the influx, especially since 1840, of great mumbers of adult immi- grants, increasing the number in the older age periods. The difference between the white and colored populations is doubtless W due to the fact that the influences have wrought more powerfully upon the white race than upon the colored.” WESTERN MATTERS AT CAPITAL Postoflice Lease Ordered, Rallway Mail and Other Appoint- ments Made.
