DIES MONIES, Aug. 25.-(Special.)-what
would otherwise have been a great day for
an opening of the state fair was com
pletely spoiled by rain today. The rain
commenced falling at daylight and con-
tinued with more or less steadiness during
the day. A great many visitors came to
the city and there were many at the fair
grounds, but it was impossible to have the
races or the fireworks or any Of the fea-
lures which had been prepared for the
day. There was to have been a program
for the dedication of the live stock pa
vilion on the grounds. II was postponed
until 3 o'clock and then at that hour given
up entirely. The presentation Of the Last.
Days Of Pompeii' was abandoned at the
last moment The ground is too wet for
races and it is uncertain what will happen
tomorrow. There was disappointment at
the new received that Governor Savage
Of Nebraska was not to com to attend
the fair and speak in the new pavilion.
He had written a letter of acceptance OF
the invitation and was placed on the pro-
gram. After it was too late to secure any
one else his private secretary wrote saying
that previous engagements would keep the
governor from attending. The pavilion will
be dedicated at l o'clock on Monday.

MuddIed Affairs I'm Police Circles,
This morning a Justice Of the peace. w.
A. Iris. presided in police court in place
Of the regular police Judge, and succeeded
in stirring up some excitement over the
illegal detention of prisoners in the Jail.
One William tWInburn, an ex-poiceman
with whom the Hihlef OF police had had
trouble, was arrested Saturday night by
policemen for refusing to move on" when
told to do so. He was refused bail or an
opportunity to get out over Sunday. About
fifteen negroes were similarly held without
warrant. The justice this morning ordered
the chief Of police to bring the prisoners
before him and file information against
them or he would send the chief and his
deputy to jail for violation of the laws.
Chief Bracket tried to evade the order
and the mayor was called in to intercede.
but the Justice stood firm and compelled
informations to be filed against all. Win
burn was accused Of resisting an officer
and was released on 5000 bonds. wInburn
has suits against the mayor and chief and
the city on account of his discharge from
the police force. The affair has created a
sensation, as 1t is regarded as a part of
the long controversy which led up to the
Ftnklestein case.
James Marcus. the negro coachman for
the searles family, who shot B. w. Liggett
when the latter called to go riding with
Miss s~earles, was arraigned In court today
and took a change, which puts the trial

the shooting, as 10 why It occurred, has
not been explained.

day for an offender he desired to take back
