COUNTY FAIR MAY BE HELD
AZ Least the Agricultural Society
VIII Endeavor 20 Secure an
Appropriation.

The Douglas County Agricultural society
declines to die. At the present II has
$40 In the treasury. and. with this as the
printers security. Il has gotten out a
premium list which is supposed to be ready
for circulation. The pamphlet con-
tains the list OF premiums to be
offered. but sets no date for the show,
the intention being to make It part of the
Ak-sar-Ben carnival II possible and to
touch the Board OF County Commission
ers for another appropriation Of 1900 or
whatever the board will give.
In the last legislature a bill was intro
duced to make It compulsory hat boards
Of county commissioner appropriate for
county shows of this character on a basis
OF the vote cast at the last preceding cleo
ton, but the bill was killed and the law
continues TO leave 1t optional with county
boards whether they do or do not so APP
propriate.
On the optional basis the Douglas county
appropriation could be 5000, but three Of
the county commissioner yesterday morn
ing were unwilling TO pledge that amount.
Chairman Hofeldt said: ~ voted for the
appropriation last year only to enable the
society to pay off its debts. I voted against
any appropriation the year before and 1
think l shall this year" COMMISSIONS
o'Reene said: II don't think III vote for
an appropriation unless something comes
up to show that 1t will result In real good
for the county and CITY," COMMISSIONS
Mcdonald said he was not informed in the
matter and will not express an opinion
until he is. Commissioners Harte and Con-
molly were not at the court house and
could not be seen.
1t has been rumored that the intention
this year Is to move the fair from Omaha
to Elkhorn, but one of the officers Of the
society denies this, saying: w held our
election OF last December out at Elk
horn because the farmers complained
Omaha was too far from the geographical.
center of the county, but the fair will be
here. We want TO make 1t a good one, he.
cause the best of the exhibits we expect
to preserve and send TO the st. Louis ex-
position with the rest of the states con-
| tribution. Whatever is sent will rave to b.
saved from this year. because next years
crops will not be ready in time for the
exnosition."

SOME FAST HORSES INVOLVED
w. u. Grow Brings Attachment Suit
Against Owner of HAight
stock Farm.

W. II. Crow has attached sixteen horses
and 100 acres of land near Parsons, Kan,
to secure satisfaction of a claim he makes
against p. B. Haight and ], F. Cornish,
who, he charges, have defrauded him out
OF possession of the stock. All are OF
Omaha, but Mr.. Haight has a fancy stock
farm at Parsons and a training track there.
Mr.. Crow and his attorney, John w.
Cooper, and the sheriff of Oswego county
visited the farm last Tuesday morning at
5 o'clock in a driving rain to serve the
attachment on the racers and the promises.
1t is Crows allegation that he sold Tony
w, a trotter with a mark of 2:0Sh in hob
bles, to aaight for a 81, 400 mortgage on
some Nebraska land, mining stock of the
face value of s., 900 and a note for $1,000,
but tina the mining stock was worthless
and the mortgage void, so that all ne could
collect was the 81 200 secured by the per-
sonal note. This sale was made last July,
plaintiff alleges, and before he learned of
the worthlessness of his collateral he sold
Lady Downing (9:1D to J. r. Cornish for
81, ls0, represented by some more mining
stock in the same company, furnished,
plaintiff alleges, by Haight, TO whom Cor
nish transferred the animal without con-
sheraton" Lord Titan, Spotty NJ and
twelve others not so fast were bought by
Haight, and Grow alleges that all the pur-
chases were secured by misrepresentation
similar TO that practiced in the first In
stance. Lord Titan and Spotty NJ were
supposed to bring $3.50 each, and the
twelve others 500 each. Crows suit in at
tachmen is TO recover possession of tho
horses and secure damages sustained by
the transaction or else secure real money
for the value OF all.

INDIAN POLICE GO TO JAIL
They Are Supposed to Have Been Too
Generous with whisky
F1Rska.

"neh the federal grand jury began it,
session Monday a number OF Indians were
brought down from the Winnebago agency
as witnesses in several Bookkeeping cases.
The bucks, the squaws and the papoose,
we're all quartered in the Klondike hotel
and for several days all things went
merrily and happily and then all of the
places where they sell the drink that both
cheers and inebriates were closed and
poor 10 began to acquire a thirst. His
throat became dry and parched. and George
Thunder, Alec st. Cyr and George White
Wings searched the city's byways and
highways for some of the e~nticing fluids.
For them it did not prove "A difficult task
and Thursday they had each acquired n
supply in TASKS.
A few drops made them cheerful and
indulgent What they had was also for
their friends, they thought, and so between
long moments of testifying before the
grand jury of how some other men on the
reservation had sold bad liquor in small
quantities at large prices the Indians gath
cred in the corridors of the fourth floor Of
the federal building and drank of the fruits
of their friends labors. At the Klondikr.
too, they gathered in small councils and
consumed more OF the liquor until 1t wa1
quite apparent TO all that saw that some
thing was not as II should be.
George Thunder stood most OF the day
around the Office OF the clerk Of the dis
trict court. and, with face averted, talked
lang and eloquently with Miss Moore. He
deprecated the drinking that the Others
showed evidence OF, but said that even an
Indian policeman could not discover where
the drinks came from. 81. Cyr, like
George Thunder. is also a policeman, but
knew no more.
But Friday the grand jury cajoled and
threatened the friends who had partakeD
of the Joyous round at the flask into tell
ing where It came from and now the three
braves from Winnebago, who came u
testify OF how other men gave liquor 20
Indians, are behind the bars because their
generosity was so great as to make them
give part of their hard earned fire water
to their friends.

TO STAY In THE COUNCIL
Four Present Members Said to Have Plans
for the Future.
SCHEME is TO MAKE FOUR NEW WARDS
Lines to Be Drawn So as to Leave
HRscalI, Karr, TrOstIer and
WhitehOrn Living in I'm
represented Districts.

A scheme TO redistrict the city with thir-
teen instead of nine wards, made up in
such a manner that four of the old big
FIVE" may stay in the council again, is be-
ing industriously worked up so that the
present council will make the boundary
changes. The councilmen active in the
planning are said to be Hascall. Karr,
Trostler and Whitehorn. During the last
two days they nave been comforting and
getting the details OF the redistricting
shaped up that each may have a chance
next fall to make the race again.
The authority for dividing the city into
thirteen wards is obtained from an amend
meat to the Omaha charter bill passed by
the last legislature.
Law on RedIstrictinE.
The new law says.
Each city governed by this chapter shall
ne divided into wards, the boundaries of
which shall be defined by ordinance and he
equal in population as near as may be. In
any city of the metropolitan class now ex-
lstlnS, which liz already divided into nine
wards, such wards and the election districts
or such wards shall not be altered as to
boundaries until after the first election pro-
Slded Tor In this act and the existing
election. After such election the city coun-
Gil may change the boundaries of the wards
and may divide any city OF the metropoli-
tan class into not less thai. nine nor more
than thirteen wards. When the boundaries
OF said wards have been changed and the
number of wards Increased the councilmen
who reside In each new ward shall continue
to represent such ward and new councilmen
shall be elected for each ward having no
oounctlmen residing therein. Such new
councilmen shall be elected at the next
state. county or city election held after
sixty days from the division OF such wards
and shall hold their Offices until the next
city election.
Corporations Are Interested.
Behind the councilmen who desire the re-
shaping of the wards TO be done by the
present council are said to be the principal
corporations. who fear they cannot exert
sufficient influence to rule the nine council
men-elect.
The redistricting scheme as contemplated
will leave each OF the old four in a new
ward. not represented in the council. hence
requiring the election OF a councilman next
fall. To do this the matters OF population
and area are being disregarded.
To direct questions the councilmen deny
that any such plan is under consideration,
but their statements in unguarded moments

TROLLEY AND LIGHT SERVICE TIED UP
Firemen in Newark Cause Inconvenience
for a Few Hours.

The trolley and electric light service in Newark
was seriously interfered with yesterday and late
Friday night by strikers. On Friday night the fire
men employed at the plant of the United Electric
Company, in River-st., demanded a reduction of
hours and an increase of pay, and when the de-
mand was refused they quit work AS result. the
greater part of the city without electric light
for some time The company had partly prepared
for the strike, and number of hands were
put 10 work. Dudley Farrand. the superintendent,
said yesterday
We did not know the fremen were going to strike
until last Monday. when named August
SIkZmdn who claimed to represent the firemen,
said that if the firemen did have their de-
mand for a shorter workday accedod TO they would
quit work last night. Yesterday the
called again and repeated his demands for the
hremen, but told him that l would not confer
with any one but the men themselves.
At a. m. yesterday the fremen at the North Jer-
sey Street Railway Companys powerhouse quit
work and the trolley service completely tied up
for nearly an hour. and until u O'Clock only few
cars were operated. The strikers had been getting
s. . for twelve hours a day. and they demanded
the same pay for an eight hour workday. Their
contention that since the coal miners
strike last summer they have been forced to use
soft coal which made their work doubly hard.
