Board OF Managers busy Preparing
Grounds for Great Expedition.
In Nebraska for the past several
weeks the temperature has been pretty
high-close to the 100 mark-but IL Is
no higher than the aspirations Of tho
state board of agriculture and the
board of managers In connection with
the coming exhibit at Lincoln this year
When the Legislature provided for
b permanent location Of the state
fair at Lincoln II certainly did a wise
thing, for the capital city is naturally
and logically the home Of the annual
exposition. While somc may not haye
been exactly suited In the selection Of
the old fair grounds as n perma-
nent site, yet, when everything Is ron
sidercd, its purchase has generally
proved acceptable, and now that the
fair is a permanent fixture, and not n
shuttlecock to be- tossed hither and
yon, the managers feel warranted in
erecting n home suitable 10 entertain
the visitors which annually come TO
see what Nebraska "a produce.
Hence 1t is they now have a large
force at work on the grounds erecting
several new buildings, rebuilding pens
stalls, etc, ard repainting and re-
pairing where needed. The work In
being rushed along, and when the day
m for the gates to swing open to
the crowd, all Nebraskans will have
occasion to rejoice that these things
have been done, and they will better
enjoy the great exposition Of 1901,
which the promoters say will eclipse
all former efforts,

tion In second.
A Newport, II. L., dispatch says:
The Columbia again defeated the Con-
~stitution In the race by q margin In
corrected time of 2:l0, the Indepen-
dence being opcc more last, after losing
her topmast at the very start. The
Bosten yacht, however, sailed such n
plucky race that 1t is generally believ-
ed hat she would have won but for h
accident. For twenty minutes after
the start she sailed with the wreck OF
her club topsail trailing a%stern, while
for six more she was motionless, luffed
in the wind, while the crew cleared
away the tsnglc. All this time the
other two yachts were speed ing along
under all sail, yet the independence
was only beaten seven min utes and
forty two seconds at the first mark and
sailed the second leg Of the Triangle in
less than either Of the other yachts.
The result of the four contests between
these three boats leaves much to be de-
termincd, especially as to the srelative
merits in anything except light airs.

cate that the members Of the amalga-

generally obeyed. kilograms from the
various points where the mills Of the
American TiDplate company, the Amer
lean Steel Hoop company and the
American Sheet Steel company are To-
Gated, told Of the shutting down Of
plants In large numbers. In many
eases the plants had been shut down
by the first strike order, which affected

Sunday night regarding the number Of
men actually idle in the mills had been
proved correct. This number was
placed at 74,OO0.
The strike, although one Of tho
greatest declared in recent years, will
only slightly effect the city Of
P%ittsburg. Despite the fact that
pittsburg il, and for years has been,
the recognized center of the world,
President Skaters action In calling
the men Of the American Sheet Steel,
American Tinplate and American Steel
Hoop companies out on a strike will
have but little bearing ON the CONNER
