THE OMAHA DAILY B FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1 BIG CROWDS AT STATE mu[ / Attendanoe Exoesds Even that of Day Cresoens Tiotted. DRILL TEAMS THE PRINCIPAL ATTRACTION Modern Woodmen of Lineoln W First Prize, with So Daugh- ters of Protection of ha Second. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., BSept. 10.—(Special The weather man agaln gave the state falr management an {deal day in which to re- cuperate from the slump of yesterday, and the people and the management took ad- vantage of the sunshine and the lack of wind and crowded the grounds, the race track, the quarter stretch and the midway and everywhere there was a place to crowd. The attendance was 2,028, the largest of the week. The features of the fair were the drill team contests between the teams of the various fraternal organizations of the state and the crowning of Cresceus the "King of the Half Mile Track.” It was this latter event no doubt that caused the immense number of people to crowd in the grand stand. For hours they hooked themselves over the fences and again crowded out on the race track walting for the appear- ance of the horse. At last he came, lead by one of his party, with only a bridle. He was as slick and silky as brushes and cloths could make him, and as he was led before the grand stard there to recelve the ovation due him, he looked every inch the horse he is. At sight of him the people broke forth in cheers equal to the day the horse broke the world's record for a half mile track. N. J. Ronin finally restored quiet and in a short little talk told of the accomplish- ment of Cresceus and his due at the hands of the people of Nebraska. He then stepped forth with a beautiful floral wreath with which to crown the animal But Crosceus would have none of it. He backed quietly but determinedly away from the flowers ,and repeated this each time Mr. Ronin advanced, evidently being too mod- est to accept such honors. \ ‘When this was completed the crowd went wild again for a spéech from the horse's owner. Mr. Ketchem responded, telling the people of Nebraska that nowhere had he and his party recelved more courteous treatment than at the hands of the people of this state. He claimed that all honor should be given the horse and not him and that on behalf of them both he thanked everybody in the state. COresceus to Try Agal Late this evening arrangements were made whereby Cresceus will trot again at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow in an effort to lower his record. The terms are for the falr management to take as much of the re- celpts_as were taken in on the same date last year, then the horse's owner to get $500, after which the remainder of the re- celpts will be divided, 76 per cent to the fair and 2% per cent to Mr. Ketcham. In the contest for the best county exhibit Saline won first prize, with Howard and Washington in second and third places. Elghteen counties were entered and divided 1,700 in prizes. Drill Team Contests, ‘The arill contests, which was begun yes- terday, one or two teams doing their turns, ‘was finished this morning in the presence of an iminense crowd of enthusiastic on- lookers. The members of the Tribe of Ben Hur, which had entered, refused to compete because of the condition of the grounds upon which the drills weré held. 'The others finished in this order: Modern ‘Woodmen ‘of America No, 190 of Lincolny first, §100; Sons and Daughters of Protec- tion of Omaha, second, $76; Modern Wood- men of America No, 1 of Omaha, third, $50; Ancient Order of United Workmen No. 9 of Lincoln, fourth, $35; Douglas cas- tle No. 1, Royal Highlanders, of Aurora, fifth, $25; Degree of Honor of Fremont, sixth, $16. . Though the track was in a bad condition today, the races were just as good and ex- citing as any that have occurred and just as much Interest ‘was manifested. The fair all through the week has been a suc- cess even beyond the expectations of the The attendance has been showed that $4,201 more had been taken in than for the same time last year. The crowds are being well handled and every one can easily get to the grounds. ‘The Burlington is running & three-minute service and the manner in which the trains t is the belief now that in e fusionists, they will just endorse the can candidates, giving them « glad and stepping clear out of the way. this claiming that they are in nou-partican judiclary.

The board of public lands and bufldings Never give up!’ Not while you can buy Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. tearse met this morning and after rescinding it action of yesterday in the matter of the Boyd county land cases in which Com- missioner Follmer is trylng to oust the squatters, appointed Attorney General Prout and Mr. Follmer a committee to have free rein in settling the matter to the best of their ability. The plan is now to have the squatters mandamus Follmer to compel him to sign the deeds to the 1and, thus getting the matter in the courts as soon as possible. The squatters located on the school land many years ago under the impression that It was open to entry under the federal homestead law. The land commissioner was unwilling to ac- cept the government land elsewhere in the state because it was not as good as the land now held by the squatters. About 2,200 acres are involved Thinks Damages Too Much. . On the 18th of April, 192, James F. Lan- sing took a board which had been torn from the fence Inclosing his premises and whacked it over the head of Marle Wes- sel with sufficient force ‘to greatly in- convenience her and cause her enough suffering mentally and physically to be worth to her $,000, according to her esti- mate. To get the money she brought suit in the district court and was awarded $500. Today Lansing filed his brief in the supreme court asking for a new trial be- use of errors of the court, The case all grew out of the boundary fence be- tween the places in Lincoln owned by the two. Bebout Now a Detective. A. A. Bebout, for many years a sergeant of the Omaha police department, has or- ganized the Bebout detective agency, with headquarters at Omaha. Attorney George Britt was here this morning and filed arti- cles of incorporation. The new concern for the present will ofice with Mr. Britt. Sergeant Bebout is the entire organization, having two men to attach their names in order to get the articles fled. For fifteen years Bebout was on the police force of Omaha and when the new police board was appointed by Governor Savage he wns mentioned strongly for chief. He lost out, however, and from that time until he re- signed from the force he lost cast rapidly. He was made a detective for a while and then reduced to the ranks. Before this he fell and Injured himself and when ordered to report for duty on a beat gave his in- juries as an excuse for not working. From time to time he failed to report and finally resigned. He was considered one of the best men in the department. Discuss Uniform Bookkeepi Buperintendents from all the state institu- tions except the penitentlary met with Chiet Clerk Mickey yesterday afternoon and discussed a system of uniform book- keeping. All the heads of the institutions were willing to accept the advice of Mr. Mickey and they will in the future keep a cash book, a fund record, individual record and if they desire a day blotter. As the Board of Public Lands and Bulldings has to buy the books this board will first pass on the action of the superintendents before the system is adopted. EIGHT THOUSAND PRESENT Orowd Attends the Re of 014 Settlers at Dakota City. DAKOTA CITY, Neb., Sept. 10.—(Special.) ~Eight thousand people was the estimate placed on the attendance at the twenty- second annual reunion and picnic of the Ploneers’ and Old Settlers’ sssoclation of Dakota county, held in Clinton park, ad- Joining this place, yesterday. Mayor E. W. Caldwell of Sioux City, vice president of the association, and Dr. W. 8. Lewls of Morningside college, 8ioux City, delivered addresses, which were heartily enjoyed by all within hearing distance. The Sargeant Bluffs band discoursed mu- sic throughout the day and a general good time hand-shaking, visiting, story-telling and reviewing days of a half century was ‘ndulged In. Plenty of sport was provided the younger generation, consisting of ball games, races and dancing. Not an accident or a disturb- ance of any kind occurred during the day, which speaks well for the management in handling such a vast crowd. The officers elected for the ensuing year were: President, Horace Dutton; vice pres- ident, Mark Combs; secretary, John T. Spencer; assistant secretary, W. H. Ryan; financial secretary, A. H. Baker; treasurer, George T. Woods; historian, M. M. Warner. Executiva committee: Gustav Berger, John Baler, Thomas Ashford, jr., Jesse Willlam: D. C. Hefferman, Fred Blume, C. J. Dug- gan, John Blessing. USES DYNAMITE ON A LEVEE Farmer Takes Declsive Steps to Drain Flood Waters from His Lan PLATTSMOUTH, Npb., Sept. 10.—(Spe- clal)—By the use of a quantity of dyna- mite and the aid of a squad of men, La- fayette Beott, a farmer residing on the Iowa bottoms, has succeeded in solving the flood problem, which has for several days been threatening to ruin his corn crop, 88 well as those of other farmers adjoin- ing his premises. The trouble was caused by the overflowing of Keg creek, which flooded 600 acres of corn—the water In the flelds belng from one to three feet in depth. The creek finally subsided, but the problem of how to force the water from the flelds Into the creek was a hard one to solve, In view of the fact that the leves prevented the water from flowing back into the channel. Seeing no other way out of the difficulty, Mr, Scott and others procured a large quantity of dyna- mite and blew & hole through the levee. In this way all the surplus surface water was drained from the flelds, leaving them practically high and dry and in a fair way to yleld abundant crops. It is estl- mated that Mr. Scott's enterprise has saved him and his neighbors something Ike $10,000. In Trouble with Postal Authorities. BEATRICE, Sept. 10.—(Special)—BE. A. Torbett of this city was taken before United States Commissioner C. C. Marlay at Lincoln on Monday on the charge of sending obscene literature through the malls. Pending action by the grand jury he was released on his personal recog- nisance. The offense for ‘which Torbett was arrested is alleged to have occurred in Cheyene, Wyo., and the letter in ques- tion was written to W girl, formerly of this city. Torbett admits having written the letter but says it was delivered by a messenger boy and not sent through the mail. Derafled Train Blocks Track. BEATRICE, Neb, Sept. 10.—(Bpecial Telegram.)—The southbound morning pas- senger train on the Union Pacific raiiroad ‘was deralled one mile south of Holmesville today. The engine and tender were run into the diteh and several cars left the ralls, All the passengers were brought back to Beatrice and turned over to other roads. The track has been blocked all day and no trains are running on the line south of here. An engine was sent from here and the cars brought back. It is hoped the line will be open within twelve hours.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Bept. 10.—(Spe- clal Telegram.)—The county commissioners have settied the damage sults resuiting from the fall of No. 81 bridge, giving the principal clalmant §2%. The amount de- mended was 3,50 [MAKING ARID LAND BLOOM @ood Results Obtained by Irrigation on Old Fort Hays Reservation. WELLS THE SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY of Them tare for ‘fhree Humdred Acres of La (From a Staff Correspondent.) HAYS CITY, Kan., Sept. 10.—(Special.)— Where Custer camped, 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, just before he started on his campalgn against the Cheyennes and Kiowas in 1863, three crops of alfalfa have been cut this summer. Two years ago this same parcel of land had been pre- empted by prairie dogs. The prairle dogs were exterminated by the surest method, the careful use of wheat and strychnine. The 7,00 acres surrounding the former Custer camp and prairie dog town con- stituted the old Fort Hays military re vation. When the government abandoned this reservation It became the property of the state of Kansas. The lagd is high, it is likewise dry. It is no better and no worse than the millions of other acres in the semi-arid belt, Kansas on one-half of this tract has established, with the aid of the government, an experimental sta- tion. The other hal is given over to a state normal school, which thrives in the semi-arid reglon as well as in sections more favored. ‘Time has passed when even the raflroad companies want to Induce people to come to a section of country ignorant of the conditions. That plan was tried in the early elghties. Almost every quarter-sec- tion of land In western Kansas and Ne- braska once had a homesteader on it Millions of dollars were expended in towns which were abandoned before the ninetles. It was a losing experiment all around. The homesteaders returned to their former homes to give the country an even worse reputation than it deserved from an agricultural view-point. The eastern money lenders who had been de- celved are still unwilling to risk their money at a per cent which permits it to be utilizea at a profit. Broadly speaking, the whole semi-arid region acquired a rep- utation from which recovery has been slow. For these reasons extravagant statements are deprecated by every per- son who Is sensibly concerned in the pos- sible development of the semi-arid west. Its improvement is not solely a question of irrigation. There are involved the modern methods of farming and the in- troduction of drouth-resisting crops. Grasses which will grow where buffalo and mesquite grass has been grazed to death are given tully as much thought as new varleties of wheat or corn. Poor Year for Experiment. Irrigation for western Kansas and Ne- braska and eastern Colorado Is largely a problem of the use of wells. The tremen- dously blg fund which is avallable for irri- tion under the new act will be expended on government projects where reservoirs can be constructed and the water from streams diverted. The group of states in this section must proceed slowly and prove their cases as they go. The accepted scheme of irrigation s not. for them. The present has not been a good year for contrasting crops grown by frrigation from wells and those where nature has supplied the mols- ture. In Ellis county, where the average rainfall for the entire year averages some- thing like twenty Inches, more than twen- ty-one inches of rain have already fallen. This rain came, 100, at a time when the crops neelled it. As a result two hundred acres of wheat on the experiment farm at Hays City averaged thirty bushels to the acre. Cabbages grew and tomatoes, too. Altogether it was a most profitable year for the farmer. But those who have been in the country for years and shared in the fat years, as well as in the lean, know full well that a rainfall 5o heavy and so hap- plly distributed may not come again for a decade. 'The story of the crops which were raised this year, therefore, forms no basis for a comparison. What is of importance, however, is the object-lesson the experiment station af- fords. In perhaps the best year for rain- fall which this section has known the frri- gated crops are fully 50 per cent better than those which Wwere not irrigated. Even the best rainfall which is known In this section is not suficient for much of the garden products. Almost everything which 1s ralsed In a garden anywhere can be grown by firrigation in western Kansas. What s true of these ghrden products is also true of the smaller fruits. This fact has been proved by testing al- most every vegotable known to the best city markets of the east. It only remains to be shown whether the conditions at Hays City are the average conditions which could be found elsewhere in the tremen- dously large countles of Wallace, Graham and Logan in Kansas, and counties which correspond to them in elevation and cli- matic conditions in Nebraska. It is yet to be determined whether ir- rigation by wells will pay for the staple crops. For all the smaller crops there seems to be no doubt about the financial success where an adequate water supply from wells can be obtained. Those who are conversant with the conditions in eastern olorado and western Kansas and Nebraska are agreed that there are hun- dreds of thousands of acres of land which correspond In all essential respects to the 4,000 acres on which tests are now being made at the Hays City station. Wells for Irrigation. A small stream, Big Creek, .flows through the old Fort Hays reservation. Three wells have been already found which sup- ply enough water to irrigate several hun- dred acres. The well from which the most elaborate tests have been made has & flow of 260 gallons to the minute. Water was found here at a depth of thirty-eight feet, which is two feet lower than the bed of Blg creek. Water has been found at a saflstactory flow at a depth of twen- ty-five feet in other parts of the reserva. tion, The Irrigation plant is in itself a most simple establishment, J. G. Haney, the superintendent, caused & well to be dug thirteen feet in diameter. For one well & reservolr has been buflt, which would permit of the continuous use of & small pumping engine if one were necessary. No Teservolr has been constructed for the well thirteen feet in diameter. The water is pumped directly from the well by an ordinary traction engine of twelve horse- power, A stationary gasoline engine of smaller horse-power would answer every purpose where fuel was costly, but the only cost of coal at the experiment station is that of transportation. The coal is mined by the convicts at the penitentiary and shipped to the experiment station. Wherever a stream similar to Big creek can be found wells can be sunk which will make irrigation possible, is the conclusion reached by Buperintendent Haney and F. G. Tate of the national government's frri- gation bureau, What can be done in sec- tions of the semi-arid districts through which no small streams run is a problem to be tested. That the work of making these tests will be pushed can be relied upon, be- cause the Department of Agriculture is be- come very deeply interested in the ma ter, and, in faet, it was that department which planned the tests now being made with & great measure of success at Hays City, Just et the present tme no new work at other points has been definitely | decided upon, but presently tests will be made with wells further back from running streams. If these tests result favorably, it 1s not impossible that the attention of the federal government may be turned as sharply toward irrigatipn from wells on a large scale as it Is now turned toward ir- rigatien by the construction of dams. FIRE RECORD. Three Bulldings at Crab Orchard, TECUMSEH, Neb, Sept. 10.—(Special Telegram.)—The village of Crab Orchard, this county, suffered from a fire at an early hour this morning. Three bulldings were destroyed. The fire originated in the hardware store of J. A. Boges, on the north side of the main street, and burned to the alley. Most of the hardware stock was saved, but the building, a frame, was lost. The stock was insured, but the build- Ing is the property of a non-resident and the Insurance is not known. From the hardware store the flames spread to the Boggs buggy house, anogher frame. The carriages were saved, but the bullding de- stroyed. Riley Jones' windmill and pump house, also frame, and its contents, was a total loss and was not insured. At the alley the fire was stopped after a hard fight, but had It proceeded lumber yard of Bailey & Crissey would have taken fire and then that part of the town would have been In danger. The town is without proper fire protection and the bucket brigade rendered splendid service. The origin of the fire is not known. Chicago Carriage Factory, CHICAGO, BSept. 10.—Forty men were hemmed in by flames and threatened with death by a fire which originated from an explosion of a gasoline engine in the sec- ond story of the Bradley-Burr company’ carriage and wagon works here today. The last of the employes had barely groped their way out of the burning bulld- ing when the roof of the structure fell in. Loss $30,000. Dwelling at Crete. CRETE, Neb, Sept. 10.—(Special.)—Be- tween 2 and 3 o'clock this morning Richara Oliver's house was completely destroyed by fire. Mr. Ollver and family are in Lin- coln attending the fair. As no one was at fiome the fire was not discovered until it was too late to save anything, and being out of reach of the fire department it burned to the ground. It is not known whether the house was insured or not. Carpenters on Strike.

CONGRESS NOT_ LIKELY TO DO MUCH HMe Says the Eastern and Western Bankers Should Unite to Keep Curreney of Country Proper Channel, in SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 10.—The sev- enth annual convention of the Indiana bankers was addressed today by United States Senator Beverldg Senator Beveridge has but recently re- turned from a visit with the president at Oyster Bay and his positive assertions with regard to the action of the coming session of congress were given the more welght. Senator Beveridgs seid In part: The coming session of congress will not enact any fadical or sweeping financial legisiation. Except in great emergencios moderation Is the word in all financial leg- islation. The stabllity of financlal legisl tion, even though imperfect, is more desi able than sudden and 'comprehensive changes, even though these changes are toward greater perfection. Some moderate financial legislation which will relleve the perfodically recurring money stringency in the money center is probably desired and mav.be enacted. But such legislation, if enacted, will be simple the business Interests of the country. No legislation is possible at the coming ses- slon of congress which will radically affect our entire currency system and cause the business world to pauss in our present prosperity until it 18 seen how such legis- ation is going to work. . Maintenance of Credit. The maintenance of credit s the only reat financial question and always must be. Credit s only another name for con- fidence. Confidence is preserved by rea- sonably permanent adjustment of business to any given lines of financlal and com- mercial policy more than by all other thinga. I do not mean that there should not be gradual changes In all of our business law date. But 1 do mean that it is better for business to steadily adhere to some settied line of policy than to suddenly and rad- feally change it. Our whole financial and industrial legislation should be steady and not spasmodic. Within banking circles _themselves, all contention should cease. There is no nat- ural antagonism between eastern and west- ern bankers. Naturally their interests are the same. Bankers, east and west, are the servants of a single people, under a single flag. If western bankers when they do not need their money make loans to the cu tomers of New York bankers, for example, as is universally done, and when they re- celve their money again take it away and require the entire financial necessities of business in the east to be borrowed for eastern bankers whose territory they have invaded, western bankers should not object to a measure which will relieve the local eastern stringency which the western bankers themselves have caused. Should Be Mutual Consideration. On the contrary, the eastern bankers should not invade the territory of western bankers when eastern money {8 plenty and thus invite reprisals in their own fields by the western bankers. There should be mu- tual consideration, each section taking care of the financlal necessities of its people as long as it has the money to do so, and re- Meving the necessities of another section | only Whenever they are not able to take | care of themselves. There never was a | period when the tide of prosperity has risen so high as now; and its highest point fs_not yet reached. But upon the shoulders of the bankers of the country, more than upon any one set of business men, depends the continuance of this fortunate condition. If without reason the bankers indulge in vague apprehensions they will themselves bring about the very thing which they fear. If the bankers begin to exercise cowardice instead of nprudence; if without any reason except timidity they begin to contract their loans and reduce “their credits that con- fidence upon which all business rests and of which the bankers themselves are the beneficiaries will be impaired. But this will not occur. The bankers of the republic are too intelligent, too brave, too patriotic. ‘Would Thank Secretary Sha: BARATOGA, N. Y., Sept. 10.—At the State Bankers' convention today Leo Schlesinger, president of the Mechanics and Traders bank of New York City, offered the follow- ing resolution, but action on it will not be taken until it comes up in the regular order: Resolved, That the thanks of this conven- tlon be tendered Secretary Shaw and that his wisdom in depositing the revenues, amounting to $40,00,000, in the banks be approved. leiasmA THREE MEN SHOT IN FIGHT Trouble Starts Over Effort to Enforce Sunday Law in Ohio Tow MURRAY CITY, O., Sept. 10.—John Ma- met, a saloon kceper, was shot last night by Marshal Surtees, and saloon keeper G.
