PLANS FOR THE STATE FAIR
Board of Managers Busily Engaged in
Mapping Out Future Work,
NECESSITY FOR ANOTHER BUILDING
Demand for space by Exhibitors IL
TirtS Per Cent Greater Than
Last Ncnr-Mnny Improve
mcnts to lie Made.

At yesterday mornings meeting of the
board of managers of the state
| fair it was decided to place twelve
additional water barrels on the grounds,
to contain drinking water. They will
be elevated and provided with pat
ent faucets, thus doing away with the
obnoxious dippers. Chairman Barnes of the
committee on Ice reported progress, 1t was
voted to appropriate SIPS to aid the fsh
commission in its exhibit.
Secretary Holmes of tho Manufacturers
and Consumers association appeared before
the managers and asked for additional space
in the manufacturers building. He said
that the applications already received from
manufacturers showed that increased space
would be sorey needed. 1t was decided to
hold conference with representatives of the
Omaha Fair and Speed association on the
subject. The joint meeting will probably
decide whether the present building devoted
to the display of manufactured articles shall
he enlarged or whether an additional build
ing shall be erected.
Secretary Furnas said that the demand for
space was from % per cent to 80 per cent
greater than 1t was last year, and that the
problem of providing room for all exhibits
was a perpleXing one. 1t is contemplated to
construct a new administration building and
to give the present administration building
over to the educational department. This
will considerably relieve the pressure on the
space of the manufacturers building.
1t was decided that all exhibits in compe-
tition for alfalfa premiums should be made
in the building especially devoted to that
project. 1t was resolved that series CT
farmers institutes should be held on the
grounds during fair week. They will be
under the direction of II. f. Mcintosh of
the Omaha Cultivator. There will also be
lectures and practical demonstrations on the
subject of domestic economy under the
auspices of the women's clubs of the state.
The board adjourned in time to allow the
members to take the afternoon trains for
home. They will meet again in this city

COWLES, Neb., May 13.-(Special)-An
accident occurred on the Hill ranch, four
miles north Of town, last evening. Mr.. Hill
was trying to pull the clevis pin which held
three horses to a lister when the horses at
whose heads Hills son. Harry, was standing,
became frightened and plunged forward,
knocking Harry to the ground. Hills foot
caught in the machine and the horses ran
away, dragging him by the leg. The boy
was caught in front of the machine and
dragged some distance when it passed over
his body. The horses stopped at a wire
fence and Hill released himself and went
back and carried the hoy to the house, but
no signs of life were evident for some time.
Physicians were summoned and an eXamna-
tion showed nearly all the ribs on one side
to be broken. How bad the internal injuries
are is not known, but it is thought they are
very serious. Mr. Hill is considerably
shaken up himself.

TROUBLE IN SECURING A JURY
Porter Murder Case Attracting Atten-

tfon at SpriugVicw.
SPRINGVIEW, Neb., May 13.-(Special
Telegram)-G. A. Porter, on trial at this
place, charged with the killing of young
Woodfork in June last, is about 80 years Of
age. He enlisted at the age of Is years at
the breaking out of the civil war and is
now a member of Sprngvew post No. 212,
Grand Army of the Republic. He has been
citizen of Burton precinct Keya Paha
county thirteen years and held numerous
precinct Offices justice of the peace, etc. He
was always considered good neighbor.
While the killing Of WoOdfork was willful in
degree, it was provoked beyond measure.
Porter is married and the father Of two
children, who in company with their mother
were waiting in the court room yesterday
morning when the court opened
At 8 o'clock Porter was brought in by
Sheriff Laird, looking bleached and careworn
after his year of confinement in the county
jail, and took his seat, after greeting his
wife and children, with compOsure. Yester-
day and today noon has been taken up with
the empanelling of jury. The regular panel
has been exhausted and special yenire for
thirty more has come and gone and no jury
is in sight yet. Most of the jurymen when
asked "Are you opposed to capital punish
ment?" answer "yes" and are excused
One juryman from the strip north of the
was not a citizen of the county, the defense
claiming that this piece of ground is no part
of the county and sustained by the
court, which. If true gets the county in
muddle as this strip has been considered
portion Of Keya Paha county for years, and
voted and paid taxes as such. There seems
to be a question now whether jury can be
had in this county or not. If not the case
will perhaps go to some other county, Brown,

At the adjourned meeting Of the Board of
Educational Lands and Funds held today in
the governors office an agreement was
reached in regard to the $25,0OO worth of
Boone county court house and jail bonds.
The members Of the board purchased them
and the Boone county commissioners will
formally turn them over to the state.

Of state for record. They are per cent

At a recent meeting Of the board a reso-

voted down Today the governor introduced
the following:
Whereas, The authorities of Otoe county,

per cent per annum, payable s.Smi-annua ~ ~
each year, and payable in twenty years,
with the option Of payment after ten years;
Whereas, Said county authorities have

therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That said offer be and is hereby
accepted, provided that said bonds are in
oil respects regularly and legally Issued
and registered as required by law: and the
state treasurer is hereby authorized and di
rected to pay said parties for said bonds
accrued interest thereon to the date of pur-
chase out Of the permanent school funds
now in his hands and to receive, stamp
and hold said bonds as an investment for
said permanent school fund as required by
law; also that the secretary of this board
be requested to notify DietZ, Denison q
Prior of the boards acceptance of their
said offer.
This resolution was adopted with an
amendment to the effect that the premium
$1.03 be paid to Dietz, Denson & Prior out
OF the first instalment of interest due
from Otoe county. This will likely have
the effect of preventing the deal as the
firm in question will probably not wait
six months for their small bonus. Gov
error Holcomb has recently been securing
information concerning bond purchases and
believes that the county is legally entitled
to invest idle money in such securities.

invest about $4,000 of the university ana
agricultural college funds in a way that
would net $4,000 per annum to the state
which resolution was adopted by the board

up by Governor Hocomb today, but no
