Spending with people In the state who de-
sire to prepare special displays of grain
and other field products for the Nebraska
exhibit.
The commission has in course of prepa-
ration a circular which will be sent to the
farmers of the state calling for the culti-
walton OF grain and other field products
for exhibition. One thousand dollars has
been set aside by the commission to be
aid as premiums to the Nebraska produce
ers. The commission has not decided how
the money will be divided, this being left
to a meeting to be held after the effect of
the FIRST circular is known.
Space for the Exhibit.
Nebraska has secured 5000 feet Of floor
space In the Agricultural building at st.
Louis and the state exhibit will be pre-
served in its entirety. There has been
some ak of having the counties of the
state keep their exhibits separate. but this
idea Is opposed by some of the member
of the commission, who do not believe II
would produce the most harmonious ar
rangement. Speaking of this, @. w. Wat
ties. chairman of the commission, said:
while the matter has not been finally
decided. IL appears to those who oppose
the plan OF county segregation that such
a division would be arbitrary rather than
scientific and that It would leave the dis.
play unequal. At the same time It is still
an open question to be decided later"
The exhibits to be shown in the agricul.
tural class will be entered into competition
individually, and not as the products OF
any state or political division. The nam

CASE HAS BECOME

Governor Dole had the Circuit Judges

ference with him yesterday regarding
the matter Of the three United States
soldiers who entered Chief Justice
Frear's house on TantaIus. were in
dicted therefor and afterward permit
ted to leave the Territory. one under
bail and the others on their own re-
cognizances- the military authorities
engaging to return them for trial when
required
They were not returned according
TO promise. in consequence of which a
considerable Of a stir has ensued.
Judge Robinson, before whom the in
dictments were presented, wrote to
Secretary Root about the matter but
received no answer. There has BEEN
correspondence between the Attorney
General and the War Department.
The conference was as to what the
government should do about it," Gov
ernor Dole said after its conclusion.
THE matter has changed it's char
acter considerably since the indict-
ment of the men. Further evidence
has developed which makes the case
appear rather trivial
mo. it was not disposed of. The
Attorney General intended to nolle
prosequi the two men released on their
own recognfzance. so there would be
no use in bringing them back any

Moving In Snnnish Cities.

An odd sight TO be seen In Spanish
cities is the manner of moving house
hold effects. In cities Ike Toledo and
Cordova the streets are mostly very
narrow and the houses tall. sometimes
six or seven stories. The streets are
often so narrow that horse vehicles are
not permitted In them. When the peO-
pie move from place 10 place their
household goods and chattels are trans
ported in handcarts. Then, instead OF
being painfully lugged up the narrow
staircases, for there are no elevators,
they are hoisted in large baskets by
means Of block and tackle to the par
tlcular floor TO which they are destined
When there, they are passed in through
large doorlike windows. In most Of
these cities one sees ornamental iron
hooks projecting from the topmost cor

is adjusted. 1t works on precisely the

"Blue Hens Chickens."

Everybody knows that natives of
Delaware are called blue Hens
Chickens" but not one in a hundred
can tell you why they are so called.
The epithet Is said to have had Its orr
gin in the following:
One of Delawnrc's most gallant fight
ers in the war of the Revolution was a
Captain Caldwell. who was notorious
for his fondness for cockfighting. He
drilled his men admirably. they being
known throughout the army as "Cald-
wells Gamecocks."
This same Caldwell held to the pc
culiar theory that no cock was really
game unless its mother was blue hen.
AS the months wore away Caldwell Is
men became known as the Blue Hens
Chickens" title which only increased
their respect for the old gamecock cap
tain. The nickname became famous
and after the close OF the war was ap-
piled indiscriminatcly 10 all natives OF
the Diamond State.
