Crowd Out Friday Night Enjoying
the Fair.

How does the attendance at the
Elks' fair compare with last year,
was asked of Mayor w. E. Young
Saturday morning by DEMOCRAT
reporter:
'.It will not touch it, unless we get
10000 today
Last years total attendance was
A 200, hence it will be seen that the
attendance up till Saturday will not
run over 25,000.
Friday Night.
The attendance Friday night was
not so large as that of the two pre-
ceding nights, vet large crowds were
present.
| All the attractions We're at their
best, and there was no limit to fun
and entertainment.
Holy Moses" and Lillian Rus
SELL the camels, were in great de-
mand, especially Holy Moses, whose
driver, with his quaint East Indian
accent and rather plaintive voice,
become quite popular with the visi-
tors. One of the drivers argumen-
| tative speeches to the crowd was /:
fun, and then when you go home you
can say you've had a ride on the
Houlee Mow-Zees.
Elephant riding, too, was prOmi-
| nent feature of amusement with the
crowds.
Great Applause.
Perhaps the largest of any crowd
during the week assembled on the
Midway Friday night to witness
Philion's spiral tower feat. Great
applause was given to the actor and
which is one of the features of the
act.
The German village was not less
popular than on preceding nights,
as large crowds were always coming
and going.
Only one performance was given
in the Streets of India, and it was
we'll attended.
The national congress of dancing
girls on the Midway were right well
patronized Friday night, as was also
the Japanese theatre.
The fireworks display on Exhibit
street was exceptionally fine, and
won the admiration of the spectators.
Everybody should patronize the
charitable institution stand-the
Mary Day Nursery. They carry a
complete line of choice confectionery
and cigars. The stand is in charge
of Henry Alden and l.. B. Lyman.
Tame Wild Man.
The wild Man" on exhibition at
the Elks' fair appears to be very

commenced chasing each other down
their cheeks rapidly.

NAMES 0F NEW VARSH|PS
SELECTIONS RECENTLY MADE
BY THE PRESIDENT.
Three states Give Patronymics to Bat
tleships and Three to Armored Cruis-
ers-Crusers to Fall to Cities.

WASHINGTON, April THE presi-
dent today named the twelve new war
ships recently provided by congress as
follows:
ttleships-Pennsylva New Jer-
sey and Georgia.
Armored cruisers-West Virginia,
Nebraska, California.
Cruisers-DenVer, Des Moines, Cha
tanooga Galveston, Tacoma, Cleve-
land.
Petitions by the hundreds have been
flowing into the white house and navy
department ever since the new ships
were provided for, urging the merits
of various names. The President and
Secretary Long enjoyed the good nat
ured rivalry and in making the inal
determination consideration was given
not only to the urgency of the influ-
enCe brought to bear, but also to the
several sections of the country. Penn
sylVania petitioned through Governor
Stone Senators Quay and Penrose,
and the entire delegation in the house
of representatives.
Georgia did not petition the navy de-
partment, and it is believed that the
choice of a southern state was due to
a desire of the president to compliment
those with whom he visited on his re-
cent southern trip.
Senator Elkins and the entire con-
gressional delegation were most active
for West Virginia; Representative
Mercer also made it his business to be-
siege the navy department with petit
tions for Nebraska.
The choice of California also seems
to be a personal compliment without
the same effort shown in other states
The same rivalry was shown among
the cities, mayors, city councils, cham
bers of commerce, etc, joining in the
pleas.
The battleships Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Georgia are described in
the act authorizing them as follows:
Three seagoing coastline battleships
carrying the heaviest armor and most
class upon a trial displacement of
coppered and to have the highest prac-
tcable speed and great radius of ac-
ton, and to cost exclusive of armor
and armament not exceeding $780, 900
each"
The armored cruisers are similarly
described, except that they are to cost
81 600 600 each and are to have a dis
placement Of 12,00O tons.
The cruisers Denver, Cleveland and
others are described as protected crui-
sers" of about $500 tons displacement,
to be sheathed and COppered and to
have the highest speed compatible with
good cruising qualities, great radius Of
action and to carry the most powerful
ordnance suited to vessels of their
class, and to cost, exclusive of arma-
ment, not exceeding $1,141,S00 each.

found covered with mature oysters,
and the commandant of the navy yard

struction and repair box containing
samples of the shells. The paint up

A suit for $4,000 damages has been
filed by John johnson against the
Hammond Packing company on account
of an accident that occurred at the
South Omaha plant early in June.

had been swung on the gambrels. On
this occasion the company had a four
teen-year-old boy to make the incisions
under the tendons and insert the gam
brels and he asserts that the work was
carelessly done. As the plaintiff started
to strip the skin from the bullock one
OF the gambrels pulled out and the
beef fell on him and forced his knife
through els right arm above the elbow.
