The sound of music never dies away in art
hall during the entire day. There are plenty
of musical instruments, and u great many
Nebraska lads and lasses who know how to
use them.
The potter at his wheel keeps a constant
crowd around him. The exhibit of the Lin
coin pottery is one of tircless interest. It is
really ono of the great attractions on the
grounds.
Prayers for rain avail not. For the first
time during the history of the state fairs at
Lincoln the gentle rain has failed to fall.
Sufficient rain to lay the dust would prove a
great blessing.
The parade arranged for tomorrow even
ing will be one of the great events of the
fair. No visitor should fail to see 1t. The
manufacturing interests of Lincoln will be
represented in the line of march, aud over
500 travelling men will give it zest and spirit.
larry in Lincoln for the parade.
The discipline on the grounds this year is
marvellous. There has been no trouble re-
ported from any quarter, and to date there
has not been a single arrest.
The fruit tree and evergreen exhibit ought
to be visited by every Nebraskan who takes
an interest in fruit-tree growing. This IS q
new attraction and a very commendable one.
AS usual, Thursday is set up for the great
day of the fair. Exceptions to the rule are
always rare. The charming baby will sit for
inspection, and red or blue ribbon honors.
Some mothers will be disappointed. 1t is
always so. BE happy still, for your baby is
the best looking any way. Gross injustice
will be done
There is a friendly rivalry for famed
donors between the state and United States
industrial schools. In some things THE BEE
representative cllngs to the opinion that the
thirty-eighth part is greater than the whole.
AN INTERESTING TEST CASE.
The state capitol is feeling the effects of
the fair, and its corridors are crowded with
sight seers. Business is going on just the
anne, however, and Attorney General Leese
has entered into what will prove an interest
ing test suit against the Missouri Pacific,
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and the Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis 81 Omaha. The
is IN the nature of quo warranto,
and is for the purpose of testing the right of
the above named companies to do business in
the state of Nebraska. At present they are
foreign corporations, but have been takiDg
some proceedings to become Incorporated un-
der the laws of the state. The attorney gen.
eral, however, does not think they comply
sufficiently with the laws and desires to OBJ
tain the opinion of the supreme court. The
move is made to prevent the companies from
in future taking cases from the state to the
federal courts. 1t is not meeting with any
serious opposition from the roads interested,
but Is looked upon by them as a test case,
and they one and all (but notably the Mis-
souri, Pacifc) express themselves as willing
to conform to the law in every way as soon
as they know how to do so.
