THE RAJ EXHIBIT.
It Will be Transferred From New

position.

st Louis Republican.
Mr., James Aglar, general agent of the
Union Pacific, with headquarters in st.
Louis, writes Secretary johnson from
New Orleans that he has secured the
promise from Gov. Furnas of Nebraska
that the exhibit of the state, now at the
Worlds fair, shall be in place in the st.
Louis exposition before September.
This is, undoubtedly, one of the finest
and most ingenious displays at New
Orleans, and the exposition managers are
deeply grateful TO Mr.. Alger for this,
another proof of his unwearying efforts to
further the success of the coming autumn.
Gov. Furnas Is o commissioner from
Nebraska and will personally see that the
exhibit in Its entirity Is shipped to st.
Louis If the board can furnish the i'm
mense space required. The design is the
Bartholdi statue and the lopg-looked-for-

A Cowboy at the Rink.

Carson Appeal.
Last night q cowboy from up near VOL

rink, and In a gruff voice demanded q
pair of skates.
"I've been paintin' the burg red to.

Mr.. Richard.
"No, but I'm q h tearsr at any

I'll turn this rink q somersault, the first
fl out of the box"
"All right, mister, here's a pair" said
MIR. Richard, who had just creased the
rollers.
The cowboy got the skates on his feet,
and cooking his hat to one side drew a
six. shooter and bounded through the door
with a wild whoop that startled every.
body, but II wasn't have so loud as the
noise he made when he sat down all of a
sudden on the floor. AS his feet went up
In the air, and he came down with a bang
the expression on his face was a study.
$50 you'll cavort with me, you buck

mar who was going to break q mule.
Then he gave a wild lurch to the left,
swept his leg In q half circle, came back
and hit the floor a terrible whack with
the back of his head, while his uix-shoot.
er spun across the floor Into the corner.
Just as he was about to rise, a big fat
woman came along like a quarter horse
and struck him In the Ribs with both feet.
Then some boys skated over him, and fell
over him, He rose game but groggy for
the next round, and went down again at
the bare sight of q sweet young miss of
twelve whom he was afraid of going to
skate on him.
He now gave up the sport and began
to crawl on his hauds and knees for the
door, which wasn't far away, bowling
like a coyote whenever he heard anybody
coming too near.
Some of the boys hauled him out into
the ante-room and then took off his
skates. One of them picked up his re-
%volver, which wasn't loaded, and handing
1t to him, advised him to walk to Reno.

farmers that won't permit their barns to

out In the Niles Center gravel road, A
farmer had just put up a beautiful barn,
with clestings, cupola, weather vane,
everything nice. 1t was already for the
painters. We came along and found the
farmer gone to town. His wife was at
home. Did they want the barn painted
for nothipg2 She was undecided.
Finally she wanted a new cloak and we
gave her an order for So toward the new
cloak IN the house We were working for,
and told her, we'd paint the barn nicely
and the little advertisement wouldn't

we went to work. When we got through
with the barn it was black from gutter to
gable, roof and all, except where we had
put on the white letters. just as we got
through the farmer came home. He hard
ly knew his own place and came near

man you ever saw. He wal going to ar

Sometimes we work q good fence on
