The first Fair ever held at Bethany,
Brooke county, was opened most sue
cessfully yesterday, with large at
tendance and a magnificent display.
Owing to the great rush of people and
some confusion in the various depart
menIts tickets were not required of WIS.,
itons during the day. the few sold be-
ing given back, but this morning
everything will be in fine shape and
the regular admission will be charged.
The Mountain State band, of West LIB
erty, sixteen pieces, is furnishing the
music. A crowd of five thousand peo-
pie is expected to-day, and tomorrow
the management expects even larger
number, some estimates going as high
as eight Thousand.
That the Fair is great success all
reports from Bethany last evening
agreed. The farmers and others in
terested were particularly enthusiastic
about the display Of live stock, the
number of cattle, sheep and swine be-
ing beyond precedent for any previous
display in such a small town in this
portion of the country, and the stock
was also particularly fine. The man
agement of the Fair were confident be-
fore entries came in that they had
sufficient accommodations for any pos
sible or probable amount of live stock,
but they were Swamped yesterday
carly in the day, and spurred on by in
formation that additional stock would
arrive this morning, force of men
was put to work last night building
pens and stalls.
The same thing is true of all other
departments. There are race horses
galore, with more to arrive to-day, and
the management has added another
race to the programme for Thursday
afternoon. The Ladies Department is
fun of fine exhibits, and is particularly
interesting in its magnificent display
of art needlework In fact. it is a
eiIoiouShiIy up-Io-udIe dill, anu re-
fleets great credit upon the manage
ment and the people of Brooke county
and the adjoining country.
Reports received last evening from
Steubenville, Claysville, Wellsburg,
Washington, and all the surrounding
country were to the effect that the peo-
pie were going to turn out in very
large numbers to properly inaugurate
this enterprise, and the visitors will be
given royal welcome by the people of
the usually quiet college town.

musical people at Wheeling Park, last
evening, to enjoy the delightful con-

AT the Park 1t was delightfully."- cool

thoroughly enjoyed The Banda Rosa
is very capable organization, playing
the best compositions of the greatest

received last night.

best. The ride out the pike in the
evening is a cool and refreshing one,
particularly agreeable to those who
have been cooped up in hot city houses
during the day. These musical events
provided by the Park. management
should not be ignored. They are bene-
fetal from every point of view, and
should have a large patronage.

tasteless. Put a piece of butter in the

THE NEBRASKA PLATFORM.

fHE NEBRIShi ria fFOhH.
All except the referendum plank in
the platform of the Nebraska Demo
Gratis seems To have met with hearty
endorsement from the Democrats who
supported Bryan and the Chicago plat
form four years ago. The boiling gold
bug Democrats of course object to this
and the silver plank too.
The following from the Washington
correspondent of the Atlanta Jour
nal no doubt voices the Demo
cratic view of the initiative and
referendum plank in Washington
and the country generally outside of
Nebraska and will be the one which
will prevail when the National Demo
cratic Convention meets:
There is not the slightest probability
that the initiative and referendum
feature of the Nebraska Democratic
platform will be urged by Mr.. Bryan
or incorporated in the Kansas City
platform. The system is regarded as
distinctly Populistic and many Demo
Gratis in congress are freely criticising
the Nebraska demands for giving en-
dorsement to any such proposition.
Several of them go as far as to say they
will not support nominee who would
favor this as an issue in the campaign.
OF the Democrats here, have talked to
no less than one hundred regarding it.
1t is generally believed that Mr.. Bryan
yielded to this feature of the platform
in his State on account of the peculiar
local conditions and for the one pur-
pose of holding in effect the Democrat
ic-Populist State fusion. 1t is generally
regarded that only firm coalition of
Democrats and Populists in that State
can save Nebraska from the Republi-
cans.
Senator Jones expresses this view,
| and the fusion members of congress
from Nebraska say that Bryan has not
the slightest idea of suggesting this as
plank in the national platform.
Every member of the Georgia dele
CATION is particularly strong in ex-
pressing his disapproval of the initia-
tive and referendum. In Georgia the
proposition is particularly linked with
the name of Thos. +. Watson, and most
of the Democratic members from that
State have had occasion before to OPP
pose it on the stump.
1T is unfair says Senator Tillman
ito begin discussing this as national
issue. 1t will never be in the national
platform, and why not let Nebraska
work out her own salvation in her own
way?"
