Lincoln, Sept. 5.—(Special.)—FEeel- ing exceedingly fine over the in- ¢ffased attendance at the fair yester- day over any other year, in fact practically twice the number, with the grandstand receipts for the day and .night showing an attendance of about Green's band of Omaha has been iving some fine music. Miss Grace Pool, niece of the secretary, of state, one of the soloists is chatming the people with her fine voice while Charles Gardner has equally plcaged the people with his excellent voice. Dr. A. D. Land and Henry Lotz are cornetists and M. Chaloupka, baraton- ist. A large crowd this evening was entertained by the band at the audi- torium _after the fireworks. Ex-Guards as Police. . Although the National Guard was Unable to do the policing for the fair this year, under. the leadership of Ad- jutant General Hall, the work is being well done. This is due no doubt to the fact that mest of the guards are made up of former members of the state militia, sheriffs and deputy sheriffs who are used to discipline and know what it means to take orders. The police station is equipped with an ambulance corps and a physician, Pony Exhibit Fine. " This year the pony exhibit is the best ever in the history of the!fair and many a boy has’ felt his heart |\ quicken when the fine six-pony team -\ of milky white ponies has been driven about the grounds by their owner, W, J. Thompson of the Dorchester pony farm. Two years ago the exhibit of onies numbered but about forty, while this year there is the unusual number of over 100 of the baby horses on the grounds. Superintendent Purcell of Broken Bow, in charge of the gates, with his assistants wl)o count tickets, Thom- -as Wright of Ansley, also a news- paperman, and D. S. Dusenbetry ‘of Nelson and James Stoner of Lincoln have secured the good will of. the newspaper men for their em€rgy in getting the attendance ‘counted early. Agriculture’s Day. ! The agricultural display is superb. 1 There is only one way to get any idea of the exhibits from the fafms * all over the state and that is personal- ly to look it over and then onc is likely to be bewildered before he has made the rounds of the big building. Speaking of the apple display under . the auspices of the State Horticul- tlll";l society today, Secretary Duncan said: “While the apple crop in “Nebraska is not as large as that of last year, yet the apples that will be marketed will be much/ cleaner apd better class of « fruit, if the exhibifs at the state fair «are any criterion of the market crop. Commercial growers who are in at-| tendapce at the show, state that their crop of fruit this season is clean and free from insect and fungous injury and will pack well. Prices promise well for well grown and packed fruit. The apple show comprises. in the ighborhood of 3,000 plates of ap- xeizof fall, summer and winter vari- , and a box display. e usual method of disposing of Nebraska apples is in the three-bushel barrel. One commercial grower, G. N. Titus of Nemaha, is having good suc- cess in marketing his crop in bushel boxes. He sizes and packs the frdit so that ¢ach box has the same quality of fruit in the bottom as is found on the top. , His display of “Nemaha Brand” box apples is one of the out-, standing features of the fruit display. The judgés are working on the fruit classes and will conclude their work by Wednesday night.” .

LOOKING FOR BIG VOTE (From a Staft Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 5.—(Spgeial.)-~Re- publican headquarters at the Lindell hotel ‘and at the fafr grounds are re- ceiving good reports from those who come in for the annual big show of the Nebraska expodition. Many visited headquarters toaday from different parts of the state and everyone, when asked if they knew of any republicans who were going to support the president, replied, “not ¥ d ¢ PP » P hy ingly they applied for their license last Saturday, bribing the clerk gen- erously to keep it dark. Clerk failed in his bargain, and the let their friends think t already done the deed., one.,” p R. P. Goble of York, one pf the well known business men of that city said York county will poll an increased re- publican majarity, Hughes is strong in_that county and it will be foind he will run well up toward the, top when the votes are counted. John L. Ken- nedy is especially strong in York as is also Judge Sutton, and big republi- can majorities for the full ticket may be expected. 2 C. J. Watson of Fairmont, member of the republican state central com- mittee, said republicans are loyal to the ticket and will give the whole ticket such as upport' that it will add materially to the big republican ma- jority in the state. Senator Charlie Randall of Newman Grove, brought good tidings of great joy to the committee. Madison coun- ty, as usual, can be depended ypon to ive a big majority for the ‘ticket. geualor Randall is_pretty well ac- quainted with conditions in that part of the Third congressional district and says that big majorities will be registered for every candidate on the republican ficket in November. Senator Olando Tefit of Cass coun- ty, probably one of the best known Nebraskans in the state and a man whose judgment is always considered 0od, believes there is nothing to it gnt the election of Hughes and the whole republican ticket. Senator Bartling of Nebraska City is atfending the fair and brought up an auto load of his neighbors’ kids to see the big show. /The senator says that republican sentiment is strong for Hughes in Otoe county and that crats there. “Republicans are loyal to the tick- et,” said the senator, “and we are looking for heavy gains in Otoe county.” .
