A New Pope

All the world has been interested
in the election of new pope, and
Italy most of all, where the inhabit-
ants have thought of nothing else
while the three days Of balloting by
the cardinals were in progress 1t
is to be hoped that the new pope will
follow the policies of Leo KILL, just
deceased, for under his pontificate the
church was liberalized and made a
great power for good among the ma
lions. The new pope, Cardinal Joseph
Sarto of Venice, was proclaimed on
August with much ceremony and be-
fore enormous crowds Of people. Dur
ing the last two or three weeks the
dailies have devoted five or six col
umns every morning and evening to
gossip and chatter about the dead pope
and the one to be elected. While an
adequate tribute to so great man as
the late pope was fitting and proper,
the amount Of space devoted to the
matter was tiresome in the extreme
and added nothing to the estimation in
which the world will hold one Of the
greatest men Of modern times.

stock in this line will be exceptionally
rtrong is already assured, and the dis
play of horses will be one of the at
tractive features at the fair. David
Hanna CT Wood Lake is the supeTin-
tendent of this department.
The county agricultural displays will
be many this year and as usual large
number of counties will participate.
Secretary Furnas, 2bo has county
agricultural exhibits directly in
charge, has heard from a large num-
Der of counties and ample accommo-
dations will be provided for all MAX
ing exhibits in this line.
In the horticultural building the
State Horticultural society expect to
make a very creditable fruit show
ing. Notwithstanding the fact that the
late frost this year very largely de-.
stroyed fruit prospects in this state.
There are many localities where there
is good fruit growing, and from these
localities the Horticultural society ,ex
pect to make up display in standard
fruits that will in every way be cred
liable to the state.
The great feature of entertainment
at the fair this year will be found in
the speed program, which provides
for three and four strong races each
day. There will be no one day of
great races, but every day will have
speed program practically equal with
the other. This feature of the fair
seems to be SO popular and SO greatly
enjoyed by visitors that the manage
ment this year have doubled the
purses offered in former years and
large number Of good horses will be
on the track through the fair
Wednesday, September 9, will be set
apart for Fraternal Day, and dhe fra
ternal organizations from over the
state will be present in force. There
will be competitive uniform drills for
purses, and the different fraternal or
CARNATIONS have street set apart for
their use, where practically ali the
fraternal societies in the state will be
represented fair week.

OMAHA PopUlIsTs

Call for judicial Mass Csnvsntisn-rhs
"e=:==<.=s" @.-.1 EstAS. :. =. .5;..
By direction of the Judiciary COM
mittee of the peoples independent par
ty for the Fourth judicial district of
Nebraska, a mass convention is here
by called to meet at Washington hall
In Omaha On Saturday, August %, at
o'clock p. M, to nominate seven
candidates for the Office Of district
Judge for said district.
ARGUMENT.
The bar of the district nominated
SIX republicans and one democrat. We
fear that this ticket will not enlist
the enthusiastic support of pOpulists
and democrats. A nOn-partiSan ticket
or less partisan ticket can be elected.
The republican convention nominated
some good men and some who must
be defeated if the honor and integrity
of the bench is to be maintained. We
think the Dennison machine con-
convention is to be selected by COM
mittee, with a view to nominating the
bar ticket We desire to give the
people of the district, regardless of
party, voice in the judicial nomina-
tons.
INVITATION.
Therefore we invite anti-machine re-
publicans and democrats, union labor,
populists, prohibitiOnists, socialists,
the municipal league, the real estate
exchange and all the Independent vot-
ers of the district to meet together
and nominate men who are honest
and who are not afraid.
CREDENTIALS.
We expect those who take part to
favor these principles:
l. A non-partisan judiciary chosen
from all parties.
2. An anti-machine ticket hostile
to the political methods of either the
republican or democratic machines.
8. A ticket made up of men who
will neither accept favors from nor
grant favors to public service corpora
tons. ELMER E. THOMAS,
l.. J. QUINBY, Chairman

State Fair Prospects

Prospects for the coming Nebraska
State Fair to be held in Lincoln, Sep
TENDER to II, are most fattering.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the management that the fai will ex-
coed in line of exhibits and attend
ance any state fair heretofore held in
Nebraska. The abundant crops in
sure splendid showing of every
thing growing in the state, and the
fact that the commissioners to the St.
Louis exposition are cooperating to
secure the best that is shown here for
use next year, means that the exhib-
it's, especially in the agricultural and
horticultural lines. will be selec,t
with the utmost care and secured in
the greatest variety.
The grounds are in splendid condi-
ton. The multitude of trees are year
by year making splendid growth, so
that in attractiveness and in the com
forts of shade the grounds are bet
ter and better with each year. The
buildings too are in first class condi-
ton. They have been carefully cared
for, many of them have been re-
painted, and a number of new build
ings have been added to the already
large number on the grounds. Prom
inent among these are the new horse
barn, the new hog barn, the new public
comfort building, and the new and
permanent band stand. The contract
was let a short time ago for the pub
lie comfort building for ladies, and
work is we'll under way in its con-
struction. This building will be of
brick, and will be equipped with all
modern conveniences, which will be
especially true of the toilet room. Wa
with the building and the sanitary ar
rangements will be just as complete
as though the building were in the
city.
Reports from the superintendent of
departments are all of one tenor and
to the effect that every building will
be filled to overflowing. The manage
ment have now nine large modern hog
barns which will accommodate thir-
teen hundred head of hogs, and this
space for the exhibition of swine is
now practically all taken. If there
is prospective exhibitor who has
not secured stall-room for his hogs,
he should not delay an hour in filing
his application for space with l.. w.
Leonard, Pawnee City, superintendent
of that department.
Seven large cattle barns will fur
nish accommodation for the cattle dis
play and give stall-room for 420 head.
This department, too, will be com
pletely filled and the prospect is that
additional accommodations may be re-
quired. Exhibitors who have not Sc
cured their stalls for cattle should
communicate with Superintendent
Elijah Filley at Beatrice at once
The four modern horse barns fur
nish accommodation for $50 head.
